1 Introduction
This manual describes the functions of the standard software REP1012V1.xx implemented in channel selective repeaters. These repeaters can be set locally or remotely. A PCMCIA slot for modem operation is available as well as an RS232 interface to connect wireless modems. The design of the repeater comprises a large number of functions which the operator may monitor via terminal emulation program or the MIKOM OMC software platform. An easy to understand and fast to learn communication language supports the operator to query status reports from the repeater or to change settings. Your repeater is equipped with the required software, which enables the operator to communicate with the microprocessor of the control module. The communication with the microprocessor of the control module is realized with a VT100 compatible dialogue. Physically these repeaters are designed in two constructional styles. On the one hand, 1 main unit and if needed up to 3 extension units are used. Each unit can be equipped with 2 channels which results in a maximum number of 8 channels. Main and extension units use the same type of cabinet (MRx40: D-cabinet, MRx41: Fcabinet). On the other hand a single repeater cabinet (G-cabinet) was designed to carry 1 - 8 channel modules.

figure 1-2 Repeater in the G-cabinet

Both repeater types are operating with the same software.

4 Description of the commands

All available software commands are described in the following chapter. 4.1 INSTRUCTION MODES There are four different types of commands: - SET commands - GET commands - STATUS commands - ACTION commands 4.2 CONVENTIONS The instruction is written in capital letters followed by selections in square brackets to be entered. SET NUM [x] [number] The selections can be entered directly following the instruction e.g. SET NUM, but in case only SET NUM has been entered the computer queries for the missing information in an interactive dialogue. As an example, x can be substituted by 1 or 2 corresponding to the wanted position in the telephone list and number can be substituted by the telephone number, which may consists of up to 25 characters. If the telephone number 2716 with priority 2 has to be entered the following command has to be typed: SET NUM 2 2716 - to change variable parameters - to ask status of variable parameters - to ask status of fixed parameters - to perform certain actions

REP1012V1.xx With this command it is possible to change the severity level for an alarm message. The severity level for an optional alarm can only be changed if the option is enabled. There will be no alarm message if the severity level has been set to DIS (disabled), or if the corresponding channel group has been switched off with the command SET PWRDOWN ENA. The severity parameter defines five levels for an alarm message and can be set in the alarm mask. The severity levels indicate how the capability of the managed object has been affected. The levels are described below and are ordered from most severe to least severe: - Critical: The critical severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective action is required to restore the capability of the managed object. - Major: The major severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of the managed object and its full capability must be restored. The minor severity level indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that corrective actions should be taken in order to prevent a more serious failure. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the capability of the managed object. The warning severity level indicates the detection of a potential or impending service affecting failure before any significant effect has been caused. Action should be taken to further diagnose and correction of the problem shall prevent a more serious service affecting failure.

- Minor:

- Warning:

- Disable: The disable severity level indicates that the detected failure has no influence on the system and shall not be sent to the terminal. The alarm message for all status alarms will not be sent, if the alarm mask is set to DIS or the channel is deactivated with PWRDOWN ENA.

REP1012V1.xx 4.3.2 SET ALCTHR, setting of the ALC threshold With this command it is possible to set the ALC threshold for UL and DL. The value for the ALC threshold will be determined in factory and can be found on a label (yellow) on the conversion modules. In case a second module will be mounted or a module will be exchanged the values for the ALC threshold have to be compared. If the modules have different values, the higher value must be set, due to the fact that the threshold can be set for the conversion modules in pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) only.

F Note:

The higher ALC threshold value has to be set. SET ALCTHR CHANNEL MODULE (1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8):

ENTER ALARM ACTIVE NAME STRING MAX 30CHARS : ENTER ALARM NON ACTIVE NAME STRING MAX 30CHARS:

This command is available only if the option for the external alarms has been activated. You will be asked to enter a name string for the external alarms 1 ... 4. Two different names can be defined, the first input is the name for the alarm active name and the second input is the name if the alarm is not active. Be aware the OMC needs appropriate key words for recognising an alarm. The keywords could be as the example in chapter 4.4.3 GET ALIAS shows. The keywords must not (!) contain one of the following strings: "- ACK" "ALARMACKN" "ACKNOW" "HISTOR" "SYNTAX" "VALUE" "MARKED" "ALARMS:" "EXT." together with "OK" "<DIS>" "< DIS >" i.e., the alarm alias: EXT. ALARM 1 ACTIVE - UPS ALARMS: ACTIVE will not (!) be recognized by the OMC.

4.6.7 STATUS RSSI, receive signal strength indication of DL path The RSSI module in combination with the software and the control module provides the possibility to release an alarm. This alarm can be forwarded to a defined phone number or to the OMC if the repeater is equipped with a modem or a mobile phone. The alarm level can be set by the customer by means of the software. This enables the provider to know the status of his network and to control it if necessary. Faults and irregularities can thus be recognised and eliminated. Technical data: Level range Stepwidth Threshold for alarms - 80 dBm to - 30 dBm 3 dBm 1 dB t.b.d. within the level range STATUS RSSI CHANNEL-MODULE 1 2 RSSI-DL[dBm] : -60 -46 3 4 5 6 7 8

4.6.8 STATUS VSWR, displays the DL antenna VSWR Syntax: Response: STATUS VSWR VSWR : OK

The VSWR module measures the voltage standing wave ratio of the DL output antenna port. If the VSWR falls below approximately 13 dB an alarm is released. This enables the provider to know the status of the cable to the antenna. If a cable is defective the VSWR will decrease and the alarm will be released. The alarm can be forwarded to an OMC, so that faults and irregularities can be recognised and eliminated rather quick. The alarm has one of the severity levels (DISable, WARning, MINor, MAJor, CRItical).

4.9.19 ICE SETUP, calculates the delay time Using the channel setting of the channel module connected to the ICE module being set up, the software should use an equation or lookup table to calculate the delay of the repeater RF sections. This delay might vary from channel to channel. Data on a number of repeaters will have to be taken to establish an equation or table. One table should be sufficient for each type of repeater. The delay needed in the ICE module should be calculated using the following equations: Path Delay [ns] = Antenna Spacing [m] * 3.33 Cable Delay [ns] = Cable Length [m] * 333.3 / Propagation Velocity [%] Total Delay [ns] = Path Delay + Cable Delay + repeater RF Delay [150ns] The ICE module delay should be set to the setting that most closely matches the calculation made with the above calculations. THIS METHOD WILL ONLY WORK IF THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT MULTIPATH! If there is a multi-path component comparable to the direct component it will cause cancellation problems if it is stronger than the direct path, i.e. if the multi-path component is dominant, the delay should be set to match the multi-path. This setup will require the use of a network analyzer with a Time Domain display option. If the channel setting is changed, the delay will have to be recalculated using the appropriate RF Section delay from the lookup table. Syntax :
ICE SETUP [ChannelModule][Spacing][CableLength][PropVel]

Response: ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER where : CHANNEL MODULE (1-8): [ChannelModule] ANTENNA SPACING IN METERS (0-200): [Spacing] TOTAL CABLE LENGTH IN METERS (0-200): [CableLen] PROPAGATION VELOCITY IN % (1-100): [PropVel]

[ChannelModule] is a number between 1 and 8 [Spacing] is the physical antenna spacing in meters between BTS and Donor antenna. [CableLen] is the physical cable length in meters. [PropVel] is the relative propagation delay of the cable in percent.

4.10 ERROR MESSAGES There are two error messages resulting from erroneous inputs and one error message that results from hardware failure. 4.10.1 SYNTAX ERROR This error message will be returned if a command is written not correctly or if the written command does not exist. The computer is ready for new inputs immediately.

4.10.2 VALUE ERROR This error message will be returned if a non-plausible value has been entered. Possibly, the value was out of the defined range, as e.g. in case of a negative channel number, or it was not in the defined range of the character set as e.g. 19H in INIT STR. 4.10.3 IC-BUS ERROR This error occurs if a part of the hardware has been damaged, e.g. the control module cannot get access to a synthesizer, because of a bad ribbon cable or an ICBus slave ties the one line of the bus to ground.
