I. Introduction

A. What is the UWMS-01?

The Universal Wireless Monitoring System (“UWMS-01”) enables Sprint to monitor and control its network devices (“Devices”) such as repeaters and DAS remotely and wirelessly. Due to its universality, any HTTP-based devices with standard Ethernet interface can be connected to the UWMS-01. Using the UWMS-01 Sprint will be able to access the Devices connected to the UWMS-01 to monitor them or change their parameters without visiting the physical site. This wireless monitoring and control capability enables Sprint to proactively diagnose and troubleshoot problems remotely even before a customer complaint is received. This translates into less network management costs and increased customer satisfaction.

This means anytime, anywhere access to Sprint’s Devices from everywhere.

- Higher data throughput using 1xEV-DO Rev. A wireless module

- Managing multiple devices (up to 8 repeaters or 32 DAS remote nodes) simultaneously

- Built-in 10/100 Mbps switching HUB

- Eight Ethernet ports

- Conversion of dry contact alarms to SNMP alarms

- Tested compatibility with the following Devices:

ADRF Repeaters, Andrew ION™-B & Node-A Repeater, Dekolink Repeaters, GS Teletech Repeaters, ADC Fusion®, MobileAccess SC-450, SK Telesys Repeaters, and R-tron Repeaters.

The UWMS-01 works seamlessly with multiple Devices from the different manufacturers listed above. For the most recent list of compatible Devices, please visit www.symtechnology.com.

II. Installation Overview

Drawing 1 shows a typical installation when the UWMS-01 is set up with its supplied dipole antenna. Make sure the received signal strength is greater than -85 dBm at the installation site.

Drawing 1 – Connecting the UWMS-01 to a DAS using a dipole antenna

If sufficient signal is not present at the installation site, you have a few options: (1) You can couple the stronger signal from the Device’s donor port using an RF coupler. (See Drawing 2.);

Drawing 2 – Connecting the UWMS-01 to a repeater of which donor

signal is coupled to the UWMS-01’s antenna port

User Manual UWMS-01 Version 2.3

(2) You can place the UWMS-01 where there is a Sprint signal greater than -85 dBm. But, make sure the distance between the UWMS-01 and the Device does not exceed approximately 328 feet (100 meters); or (3) You can place the UWMS-01 near the Device but place the supplied dipole antenna where there is a Sprint signal greater than -85 dBm using an extension coaxial cable.

1. In order to set up the UWMS-01, you have to change the Device’s network configuration first.*

(*Device is the Sprint-approved network equipment, e.g., repeaters and DAS that you want to monitor

using the UWMS-01. We assume that all Devices have HTTP-based local GUI. Please contact the Device

manufacturer if you do not know how to access the local GUI of the Device and how to change its settings.)

a. Change the Device’s IP address and Site ID (Cascade code) to the following:

IP address: 192.168.1.XX (XX can be any number from 2 to 99)** Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.100 Manager IP: 10.22.25.15 Site ID (Cascade code): Unique Site ID assigned by Sprint

(**When you connect multiple Devices to the UWMS-01, assign different IP addresses to the

Devices, e.g., 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, and 192.168.1.99. Also, each Site ID (Cascade code)

must be unique for each Device.)

Alternative Set-up:

IP address: Subnet mask: Default gateway: If the Device does not allow you to change its static

IP address and has the DHCP client feature, the UWMS-01 will assign the IP address automatically.

Manager IP: 10.22.25.15 Site ID (Cascade code): Unique Site ID assigned by Sprint

b. Make sure the Device’s heartbeat mode is on and set heartbeat period to 20 minutes.***

(***For testing purposes you may want to set a shorter heartbeat period, e.g., 1 minute. Make

sure to change it back to 20 minutes before you leave the installation site.)

c. Make sure the Device has GPS (latitude/longitude of the site) information stored. If GPS information is missing, Sprint NOC will not accept heartbeats from the site.

d. Make sure the Device is working properly.

2. Connect the UWMS-01 to the Device as shown above in Drawing 1 or Drawing 2.

a. Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect Device to the UWMS-01’s Ethernet port.

User Manual UWMS-01 Version 2.3

b. The UWMS-01 can be powered by the supplied AC adapter (UWMS01AC) or by DC power cord (UWMS01DC) if Device has a 12VDC outlet. Using AC power is recommended.

c. Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect your laptop to the UWMS-01’s Ethernet port.

d. Turn on the UWMS-01.

3. Change your laptop’s Local Area Connection setting.

a. Go to Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically.” It may take a few minutes to obtain an IP address.

b. Alternatively, you can select “Use the following IP address” and input the following

information:

IP address: 192.168.1.200 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.1.100

4. Configure the UWMS-01.

a. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and type the following URL:

http://192.168.1.100:8888

b. When prompted, input the following User Name and Password:

User Name: sym Password: sym

c. Go to UWMS-01 Set-up menu and input the following information, then click Apply.

Site ID (Cascade code): Change “TEST” to the unique Site ID given by Sprint Latitude: Input the latitude information N +ddd.dddddd Longitude: Input the longitude information W –ddd.dddddd Heartbeat Interval: 20 minutes Heartbeat On/Off: On

For more detailed instructions, refer to Chapter III. D. UWMS-01 Set-up on page 15.

d. Go to Network Device Status menu and check whether the Devices are automatically registered in the Network Device Status table.

For more detailed instructions, refer to Chapter III. A. Network Status on page 9.

e. Visual inspection: Confirm from the UWMS-01’s front panel that the LEDs show normal operation as follows:

User Manual UWMS-01 Version 2.3

Power LED is lit in solid green Status LED blinks periodically when in normal operation PPP LED is lit in solid green when PPP session is on Data LED blinks in green only when data is being transmitted

Corresponding CH-LED(s) to which Devices are connected are lit in green

f. Congratulations! The Devices can be monitored and controlled through Sprint networks wirelessly and remotely.

User Manual UWMS-01 Version 2.3

III. Setting up the UWMS-01 Using Graphic User Interface

The UWMS-01’s GUI consists of eight (8) intuitive, easy-to-follow menus. When you logged in as a Member, you will see seven (7) menus. Only the Administrator can see the Administrator menu.

A. Network Status

Picture 1. Network Status Menu Screenshot

(1) Network Status gives you at-a-glance overview of the Devices connected to the UWMS-01. (2) You can open/save/print the UWMS-01’s User Manual. (3) The Modem Status displays the UWMS-01’s modem connection status (On-Line/Off-Line).

(4) Network Device Status:

The Network Device Status displays the information of the Devices connected to the UWMS-01. A total of 32 Devices can be displayed in the table. When the UWMS-01 receives heartbeats from the Devices periodically, the Device information is in black. If more than 24 hours pass without receiving a single heartbeat from a Device, the Device is indicated in red, indicating inactivity. This will turn black again when the UWMS-01 starts receiving heartbeats from the previously dormant Device.
