Important Safety Information
Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi. The outdoor antenna used for
the purpose of communicating to the wireless infrastructure is limited to -2 dBi, or any combination of gain and loss that equates
to -2 dBi at output. Each antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystand-
ers. The following guidelines should be used when considering separation distances.
INDOOR antennas must be placed such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 20 cm (~8.0 in.) from any
inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the employee or bystander cannot exceed RF exposures
beyond the maximum permissible limit as defi ned by section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
OUTDOOR antenna must be positioned such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot approach closer than 120 cm. (~4
ft.). A non- directional antenna having a maximum gain of -2 dBi is used, precautions should be taken to prevent personnel from
routinely passing closer than specifi ed.

Installation
Power Up
To power up the CSI repeater simply connect the 72 VDC power cable from the train to the DC IN port on the Power Module. When
powered up, the repeater will begin in the Operational Mode, using the “ Band Switching Algorithm”. The repeater will not key until boot
up is complete, a GPS location fi x is obtained and the unit is within an ” Area Defi nition”.
Powerup and System Check Out Procedures
Normal Operation
After boot up and a GPS position fi x is obtain the repeater will begin operation based on the Area Defi nitions, “Channel Power Measure-
ment and Keying Decision” and “Low Isolation Detection and Protection” algorithms. The operational software will continuously monitor
the repeater’s environment and make the necessary adjustments to keep the product operating within specifi cations and FCC Type
Certifi cation.
Alarms
The Operating Software will monitor the repeater for conditions that are out of normal operation, triggering an alarm event. The Operat-
ing software in conjunction with the Communications Subsystem when so confi gured will send alarm messages via E-mail or SMS texting
to a User Provisioned account.
Each Alarm has these User Provisioned Capabilities.:
· Disable the System: The Operating software can disable the System (prohibit Keying) until the alarm condition is cleared if
provisioned
· Alarm Filter Conditions: A Filter Condition (such as X number of occurrences per hour) to the alarm to prevent false or un-
useful notifi cations if provisioned.
· Send an Alarm Message: The Operating Software can send a notifi cation via message E-mail or SMS through the Communi-
cations Subsystem if provisioned.
· Alarm Clear Message: The Operating Software can send an alarm clear message when an alarm condition clears if provi-
sioned.
Alarm Notifi cation Message
The alarm messages consists of the Systems Identifi cation Tag, a summary of the current alarms, and a short English message describ-
ing the alarm condition(s). Below is a list of the alarms that will trigger an alarm message to be sent.:

Hardware Operations
Test Point Locations and Values
Indicator Lights
The CSI repeater, CS12-560-419, by design, has no external test points. The module is sealed with no user serviceable parts inside.
Testing and confi guration is done exclusively by interfacing the repeater with a laptop or desktop computer and using Text Menu Interface
(TMI). This user interface will provide a complete status of the repeater. In most cases if all other components of the system prove to be
working properly and the repeater is not, the user will need to return the unit to CSI for inspection and repair. See the Warranty and Repair
Procedures in Section 3 of this manual.
If the cover for module is removed by the user the warranty will be void and the cost of any needed repair will be the responsibility of the user.
This repeater was designed with only two external indicator lights. Both are approximately 3/4” diameter LEDs. Located on the Module
face plate. The fi rst LED labeled STATUS glows red as the repeater is powered up. When the unit completes all of it’s bootup procedures
the LED will change color and glow green to indicate the system is operating normally. If the LED remains red it’s an indication of a prob-
lem and the user will need to check the system status using the TMI.
The second LED is also located on the faceplate of the Module, and is labeled POWER. This light is designed only to show that the unit
has DC current and will glow green when the unit is powered.
Troubleshooting
All cables should be checked for shorts and opens.
The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), should be checked for damage.
The DAS antennas should be checked for damage.
If cables and antennas are acceptable and the problem persists, check repeater status using the Web based GUI or the TMI. See Alarm/
Action Matrix on the next page.
Should the repeater fail, or if service is lost and the cause can not be determined from the steps above, the user should contact CSI
Technical Support @ 1.877.844.4274. CSI will remotely access the repeater and advise the respondent of next step(s).

Software Operations Section 4
General Operation Overview
Remote access to the repeater may be gained through a LAN connection and a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP. As with the se-
rial connection, many terminal emulation programs will work, if properly confi gured. In the following description, “TeraTerm” is used to
establish the TCP/IP session. Also, it will be required that the network confi guration of the computer and the repeater being controlled be
set up with the same Sub Net and Sub Net Mask in order to establish a link. In other words, the IP addresses of both the computer used
and the repeater must use the same group of IP address number sets. For example, the repeater ships with the default IP address of
192.168.1.100 and a Sub Net Mask of 255.255.255.0. In order to connect, the computer to be used for the link would normally need an IP
address of something like 192.168.1.12 with a Sub Net Mask of 255.255.255.0, the same Sub Net Mask as the repeater. In this example
note: the last digit of the IP address may be any number except 1,100 and 255. Confi guring your PC is normally fairly straight forward
but it does vary somewhat with the operating system involved. If you require assistance, contact your IT department and they will be able
to set up your PC for you.
When the TeraTerm program is started, the following screen is displayed. Change the default host IP address to the IP address of the
repeater to be controlled. In the case of a new install, the default address is 192.168.1.100 and has been assigned at the factory. Select
the service SSH. The TCP Port must be 22.
Pressing the “OK” button may display the security alert shown below.
Click the yes button and the fi rst SSH2
Authentication Challenge screen is dis-
played. The user then types the username
in the space provided. To make changes
default user name is “bandone” .

The “Networking Confi guration” menu contains three confi guration menus. The “Local Network Confi guration” pro-
vides access to the network connection that is made to the system via the Ethernet port located on the front panel
of the unit. The “Remote Network Confi guration” is used to confi gure the wireless modem(s) that are attached to the
USB port of the SBC (single board computer) that controls the unit. The “SNMP Confi guration” option is not used or
supported in this version of product.
========================
Networking Confi guration
========================
(1) Local Network Confi guration
The “Local Networking Confi guration” menu allows the user to confi gure the Ethernet port to operate in one of three
modes once enabled. If the unit is confi gured to have a static IP address, then the user must know what the charac-
teristics of the network are that the unit will be connected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast a request
for an IP address from a properly confi gured DHCP server on the network. In DHCP server mode (default) the unit
will assign itself an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and it will also listen for DHCP IP address requests. If the user
connects a device (laptop) directly to the Ethernet port (cabling requirements may differ) the unit will issue an IP ad-
dress of 192.168.1.90. The unit is currently capable of issuing one client address. This is done to limit cataclysmic
events should the unit be connected to a network that already has a DHCP server.

Software Operations Section 4
General Operation Overview
The repeater’s operating software have two modes, an Operational mode and a Maintenance mode. These are de-
scribed below.
Operational Mode:
Upon power up, the System will begin operation in the Operational Mode. Using a “Band Switching Algorithm” the repeater
will not key until a GPS position fi x is obtained and the unit is within an Area Defi nition.
Once GPS position fi x is obtain the repeater will begin operation based on the Area Defi nitions “Channel Power Measure-
ment and Keying Decision” and “Low Isolation Detection and Protection” algorithms. The operational software will continu-
ously monitor the system’s environment and make the necessary adjustments to keep the product operating with specifi ca-
tions and within the normal operating range of the Product and FCC Type Certifi cation.
System Status
The Operating Software provides real time status data that reports the state of the repeater. This status contains:
Timestamp Modem Band Type Satellite Count
System Up Time Active Filer NoBox Count
Software Version In-band input Searching Count
System Serial Number Measured Output Scan RX Run State
Model Number Composite Input DeKey Limit
Item Number AGC Mode Scan RX Filter ID
Location AGC Attenuation # of Channels
Modem Signal Strength GPS RunState 1 -10 Channel Freq’s & SSI
Modem Registration Status Latitude
Modem Phone Number Longitude RF Alarms: System Alarms:
Modem Current Band Filter ID Over Range Synthesizer Lock
Modem System ID Filter Name Oscillation Voltage
Modem Network ID Location VSWR Temperature

Low Signal Hardware
No Signal
Currently System events are stored to a Log File. In future releases, with the exception of the System Serial Number and
System Identifi er, The Real Time Status of the Product will be saved to nonvolatile memory for retrieval. The nonvolatile
memory will be able to store 48 hours of Status data, with up to 6 complete status records per minute. The interval that the
status records are saved will be user defi ned.
The Operating Software will also record to nonvolatile memory and make available to a user in the Maintenance Mode:
- A count and time stamp each time the processor is booted.
- A count and time stamp of each time the operating software is placed into the Maintenance Mode, and the User ID of
the operator that performed the action.
- A count and time stamp each time the Watchdog Timer is activated, and the associated debugging information avail-
able at the time of activation of the Watchdog Timer.
- The count and time stamp of any activation of the “Low Isolation Detection and Protection Algorithm” as defi ned in at-
tachment C of this document.
Alarms
The Operating Software has the ability to monitor a System for conditions that are out of normal operation, triggering an
alarm event. The Operating software in conjunction with the Communications Subsystem is capable of sending alarm mes-
sages via E-mail using standard SMTP and POP3 protocols to a User Provisioned e-mail account.
Each Alarm defi ned has these User Provisioned Capabilities.:
- Disable the System: The Operating software can disable the System (prohibit Keying) until the alarm condition
is cleared.
- Alarm Filter Conditions: A Filter Condition (such as X number of occurrences per hour) to the alarm to prevent
false or un-useful notifi cations if provisioned.
- Send an Alarm Message: The Operating Software can send a notifi cation via message E-mail through the Com-
munications Subsystem if provisioned.
- Alarm Clear Message: The Operating Software can send an alarm clear message when an alarm condition
clears if provisioned.

Software Operations Section 4
General Operation Overview
Maintenance Mode
The repeater has, in addition to it’s normal “Operational Mode” a “Maintenance Mode”. After system boot up this mode can be accessed in
the TMI only by typing the user name and password of service.
This mode of operation provides all the same menus and features as shown in the software overview on previous pages
except that upon entering the Maintenance Mode, the product will de-key and await instructions from a connected
user. During the Maintenance Mode of operation the Operating Software supports:
- Manual operation of the Key/De-Key function.
- Manual operation of the Area Defi nition Switching function.
- Manual Setting of the gain setting in both the Uplink and Downlink Directions
- Retrieval of all current User Provisioned Settings from the Product
- Retrieval of the Current Version of software in the Product
- Setting of all User Provisioned Settings
- Retrieval of logged Status data
- Retrieval of boot counts, Maintenance Mode entry counts, Watch Dog timer events with debugging data, and
Low Isolation Detection and Protection events.
- The Ability to Disable and Enable the System.
- A Method to automatically place the System back into operation upon the discontinuance of the Maintenance
session.
- A Method to automatically place the stem back into operation after a User Provisioned time limit of inactivity in
the Maintenance Mode.
- Ability to load Operating Software into the repeater’s processor.
- Ability to perform a “soft” reset of the processor.
