ALC(Automatic Level Control): DL ALC operates only and ALC Level is 5dBm.
Manual Gain Control: If ALC Off, DL and UL Gain is able to set up.
If ALC On, gain setting is impossible because gain controlling function
is inactive.
④ Up Link Gain Control: If the UL Gain Tracking is ON, the DL and UL will link so that the UL
48

tries to match with the DL by the UL Gain Offset value. If the UL Gain Tracking is OFF, the
DL and UL will work individually. (If ALC On, UL Gain Tracking is On automatically. UL
Tracking On/Off function is inactive, Basic Gain deviation of DL and UL is -10dB at MHU)
⑤ ASD(Automatic Shut Down): MHU exists UL ASD only. If UL Output Power maintains for 3
seconds(ASD Time) at the ASD Level, it occurs Shutdown. If Shutdown is repeated 5
times(ASD Count), Easy Max Setup is needed.
⑥ Return To Factory default: Initialize function
⑦ Easy Max Setup: If Easy Max Setup executes, execute after all linked systems initializing.
Complete EHU and RU ID setting before executing Easy Max Setup.
Execute Easy Max setup after checking Link status of each unit is normal.

If you check the box of MHU, EHU, iDEN, CDMA at the left side menu bar, move to page that
you checked.
If RU ID is able to set up same as port number connected EHU(or MHU), it is possible to set
up no. 1 to 8. Cascade code and Serial Number is able to set up themselves on RU and iDEN
sets up same as CDMA.

5. Troubleshooting
Before contacting your service dealer, please make sure you refer to the following guidelines. If
the WiMAX repeater does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting,
please contact your local dealer or R-tron America’s Tech support line (888-31R-TRON).
The alarm information is displayed by the LED lights on the repeater.
Problem Cause Solution

ASD LED ON Operated ASD Algorithm
and easy max setup
restart
DL Over input, DL/UL Over Output, out of sync, DC
over current, Over temperature, Return loss.
In these 7 cases, the alarm LED is on,
If the alarm is by over input or over output, the
ASD algorithm is applied. If the RF environment is
normal, the LED is automatically turned OFF.
For Out of sync, it searches the sync for up to 10
seconds when the sync is lost. After that, HPA is
turned OFF. If it is still searching for the sync, at
this moment, the status of TDD S/W maintains DL.
If the sync is obtained again, HPA is back ON and
the ALARM LED is turned OFF.
When the input/output value is over the upper
limit and Missing sync and Isolation fail, operate
ASD Algorithm.
After operating ASD Algorithm, turn LED ON when
operating the Easy max setup.
Æ Check the level of input/output.
Æ After turning the Missing sync alarm off, restart
the easy max setup.
Æ Through the antenna tilting, guarantee the
isolation.
