1 Introduction
This manual describes the functions of the standard software REP1009V1.xx implemented in
band/channel selective Repeaters of the second generation. These Repeaters can be set locally
or remotely. A PCMCIA slot for modem operation is available. 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 easy 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.
The software is accessible in two different ways.
n Locally
n Remotely
Both possibilities are described below.
• The communication can be done locally by connecting a Laptop or a PC with VT100
emulation or a VT100 terminal via the control cable.
Required equipment: - Laptop or PC with terminal program, e.g. PROCOMM
- one serial RS232 cable: SUB-D9 (female) to SUB-D9 (female)

• Furthermore the communication can be realized remotely via modem.

n Software download in remote mode
3.1 Download procedure in local mode
Two different download procedures exist in local mode. The software download software or
manually controlled. After a software download previous user settings ( data default values )
might be overwritten. Before you start a software download save the set values for:
n attenuation
n ALC threshold

4 Running the software
4.1 Via PC or Laptop as terminal
The local mode for settings via PC has to be set. Therefore the DIP-Switch 2 has to be at
position OFF.

F Note: Only if a Modem M1 is used DIP-Switch 2 has to be set.
A VT100 terminal or a PC with VT100 emulation can be connected to the control module
SM2009 by a standard RS232 cable, if necessary in connection with an adapter 9 to 25.

These settings can only be changed after connection of the terminal. If all wanted settings have
been initialized and a modem has to be used it will be recommended to check whether the
settings comply with the capabilities of the modem and the line. Modifications are possible by
software commands.
F Note: Settings on the Repeater can be performed after the following procedure
only.
After connecting the PC to the Repeater, following procedure is necessary to get access to the
program.

4.2 Via modem
The Repeater will be delivered with a preset init string. This init string was used for internal
tests. In case no connection can be established check the local conditions and change the init
string if necessary.
Three different modem types are available
• PSTN modem ( DigiTel 34P ), line modem
• Siemens M1 for GSM900, wireless modem
• Motorola for GSM900 or GSM1800, wireless modem
The following list contains the description of the AT commands:
&F Sets modem to factory configuration
E0 Echo OFF
S0=1 Auto answer ON; the GSM module / M1 modem goes off-
S7=60 Waiting time for connection after dialing; permissible values
B13 Setting to 9600 bps asynchronous mode
\ N6 Auto reliable operation
\ N0 Standard operation, no error correction
+CBST=7,0,1 Set bearer service type to 9600 bps. Non-transparent

figure 4-3 Connection of control module and PSTN modem
The following communication mode between control module and VT100 is initially set for the
use of a Hayes-compatible modem.
9600 baud - 8 bit - no parity -1 stopbit
These settings can only be changed after connection of the terminal. If a different modem has
to be used or if the quality of the line does not allow to use the set parameters, the settings
have to be changed in PC mode. This is the same for all other parameters, which can be set
previously for modem mode by software.
F Note: Settings on the Repeater can be performed after the following procedure
only.
After connection to the Repeater following response appears on screen:
1. Step: ENTER USER ID
Response on the screen: ENTER USER ID:------
You have to enter: UserID1 ↵
F Note: The input is case sensitive, no blanks. After three mistrial follows
disconnection.
2. Step: ENTER PASSWORD
Response on the screen: ENTER PASSWORD:--------
You have to enter: P-word1 ↵
F Note: The input is case sensitive, no blanks. After three mistrials follows
disconnection.
