Product Introduction
Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) developed the Wireless Engine digital repeater for use within enclosed
structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones is unavailable. Adequate
signal must be available outside the structure as a prerequisite to achieving in-building coverage. The
Digital Repeater is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal
antennas placed strategically throughout the area where wireless service is desired.
The external antenna typically is directional, such as a “yagi”. Internal antennas are typically omnidirectional, although various other types may be used depending on the coverage application. The CSI’s DSP
Repeater amplifies both the “uplink”(phone to tower) & “downlink”(tower to phone) signals thus facilitating
communications to and from the intended wireless infrastructure.
With a maximum total of +85dB nominal gain on both the up and down links, gain can be adjusted over a
range from +55dB to +85dB in 0.5dB steps. Control of the repeater is achieved utilizing a computer
connected to comm. port 1 or 2 or via Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet port. There are also LED
indicators near the display to indicate ALARM status, AGC status, UL PWR, DL PWR, OSC, SHUT DWN
and a D/L SIGNAL STRENGTH bargraph.
A specific filtering process modifies each amplification chain. This process digitally converts the assigned
spectrum and then applies digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. DSP is used to create passbands
that selects the RF energy passing through either the uplink or downlink paths. After the digital processing
is complete, the information is converted back to an analog signal that is applied to the remaining stages
of amplification. The resulting signals emitted by the repeater are specific to the network service providers’
requirements. If these requirements change, only the DSP configuration parameters need change in order
to adapt. Configuration parameters are created at the factory and supplied as files that may be downloaded to the repeater. The filter set configurations stored in memory determine the unit’s adaptability to
various field applications. The following pages describe the Cellular and PCS band plans as well as the
convention CSI uses to identify and store the files that make up the filter set.

LED Indicators
Automatic safety precautions are built into the amplifier system. In the case of a catastrophic system
event, a shutdown circuit is incorporated that will disable all emissions should the uplink input or downlink
input be overdriven or should an oscillation or output overpower event occur. The amplifier will periodically
attempt to recover from the detected condition automatically. Warning light indicators are as follows:
- 5 -
Alarm: Indicated by a red LED. The unit has sensed an alarm condition. This LED may
light alone or in conjuction with one of the other indicator LEDs. In both cases the
cause(s) can be review by going to the System Health menu.
AGC: Indicated by a yellow LED. The gain of the unit has been reduced in order to
prevent very strong input signals from overloading the amplifier. The amplifier will
attempt to recover from this condition at periodic intervals.
UL PWR: Indicated by a red LED. Uplink power has been affected by a system event and
DL PWR: Indicated by a red LED. Downlink power has been affected by a system event
OSC: Indicated by a red LED. An oscillation event has occurred or is occurring. The
SHUT DWN: Indicated by a red LED. The RF stages of the unit are disabled due to an
D/L SIGNAL
STRENGTH: Indicated by a green LED bargraph. This indicates the relative signal strength

Local Communication Interface Ports
To allow monitoring and control, the CSI-DSP85-CP is equipped with four ports that provide
external communication access (1 Ethernet CAT-5, 2 DB-9 serial, and 1 USB). The Ethernet,
CAT-5 port is provided as a primary communications port to the PC. One serial interface
provides communications to local PC and the second to an external modem when provided. The
USB interface provides a means to download files from a memory device and may also be used
by an internal or external modem. The DB-9 pin assignments conform to the standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA232) specification. A diagram of the pin descriptions is
provided on this page for reference.
Connecting a null modem cable to one of the COM ports and using a terminal emulation
program with a PC will allow communication to the control processor’s Command Line Interface
(CLI). See command line interface section for further detail.
EIA232 Pin Specifications
The diagram above is for reference only, it’s intended to provide a quick source for pinout
information in the event it should be necessary to adapt your serial cable because of an
unusual connector configuration. In the vast majority of cases this information will not be
needed.
- 7 -
USB Interface
The Universal Serial Port (USB) interface conforms to Intel’s Universal Host Controller
Interface (UHCI) version 1.1 dated March 21, 1996. This interface will support data
transfer rates up to 12 Mbps.
Ethernet
The Ethernet AUI conforms to IEEE 802.3 and is capable of supporting 10/100 Mbps
communications speeds.
Monitoring & Alarms
There are no physical connections provided to specifically communicate system status or
alarm status. This information is embedded in data accessible via the communication
ports described earlier.
Troubleshooting
All cables should be checked for shorts and opens.
The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), if directional, should be checked for proper
alignment along the calculated compass heading. Typically, the directional antenna would
be aimed at the same site that your handset uses, but it may not always be so. It is
critical the installer contact the service provider for information on, and
approval of the cell site he or she has selected before the system is turned
on.
If cables and alignment are acceptable and the problem persists, it may be necessary to
use a spectrum analyzer to examine the signal environment in which the CSI-DSP85-CP
is operating. The existence of strong signals within the frequency bands can cause the
AGC to reduce the amplifier’s gain. In some cases additional filtering might be required to
reject these unwanted signals. In some instances, the directional outside antenna can be
reoriented horizontally, to place the interference source in an antenna pattern “null”. There
also may be some cases where the interference from outside signals is so great that they
cannot be filtered or otherwise reduced or eliminated without expensive and possibly
prohibitive measures. In these cases it may not be practical to use the CSI-DSP85-CP for
providing coverage to these sites.

Important Installation Notes
• Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may cause re-generative
feedback in the system. This feedback can cause the amplifier to emit a continuous signal at
maximum amplitude and, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the cell site. Careful
consideration of the layout and placement of the system is imperative.
• The installer should refer to the safety precautions, in the following section, for proper antenna
selection and installation. To avoid serious injury or death and damage to the repeater do not install
donor or server antennas near overhead power lines or high power components. Allow enough
distance so that if antennas should fall they will not come in contact with those components.
••
• Close proximity to the donor or server antennas with the repeater in operation may expose
••
the user or installer to RF fields that exceed FCC limits for human exposure.
WARNING! AMPLIFIER OR HANDSET DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF A HANDSET IS CONNECTED
DIRECTLY TO THE REPEATER OR THE COAX THAT LEADS TO THE REPEATER.

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 14dBi
gain, or any combination of gain and loss that equates to 14dB at input. Each antenna must be positioned
to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. 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 defined 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 directional antenna having a maximum gain of 14 dBi is used, precautions
should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing through the main radiation beam at a
distance closer than specified.
Circuit Operational Description
The repeater uses a single down-conversion/up-conversion scheme. There are multiple RF amplifier
stages prior to each down-converting mixer. The down-converting mixers are followed by a single IF
amplifier. A Digital Signal Processor block then processes the resultant digitized IF signal that was
previously generated by an Analog-to-Digital Converter. The processed (filtered) digital signal is fed to a
Digital-to-Analog converter and then up-converted to RF. A driver amplifier and a final power amplifier
make up the final gain stages before application to the diplexer. The maximum total system gain (diplexer
input to diplexer output) is nominally 85 dB for either the downlink or the uplink paths with both links
having independent manual and automatic gain controls (AGC).
AGC reacts to analog power detection on both the input and output of the uplink and downlink RF
chains. A control algorithm continuously monitors these detected values and dynamically adjusts
various gain stages such that the net system gain value, entered manually, is maintained without
either exceeding FCC parameters or overdriving the A/D converters.
LEDs on the front panel display provide immediate visual indications of the unit’s primary power and
major or minor alarm status. The repeater features automatic shutdown protection as a safety
measure should excessive drive be applied to the input or an oscillation condition occur. When in a
protected mode, a control algorithm determines the appropriate method of recovery to a normal,
previously defined state, or maintains the protection until manually reset. If recovery has been
established, the associated LED(s) will either be extinguished or available to be reset. The events
that trigger the error will be save in the event log.
Digital signal processing is performed concurrently on the complete spectral band allocation.
Therefore, in the case of the US PCS band, digitization of 60 MHz (up or down links) is first
accomplished. Next, “Filter Files” are applied to a mathematical algorithm that has been established
in a specialized Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) processor.
The filter file used in the DSP process is stored in nonvolatile memory and recalled when a filter set
is required. Remaining sets are stored in flash memory. Because of the size of the filter files,
replacing the EEPROM file with one stored in flash memory takes just a few moments.

Each “Set Parameter” selection, when chosen will be expanded to allow changing or setting of that
parameter.
After selecting option 1, downlink, the current user gain is displayed and the option to change it is
accomplished by typing the desired gain at the prompt. The user is then returned to the previous
menu.

All the other options operate in much the same way. Some of the options will offer the user
additional selections and will be self-explanatory. Below is one example of these additional options,
this one for filter selection.
Note: Graceful session termination is important. Use Disconnect under the file dropdown menu
to terminate a session, otherwise the port may become disabled and force the system to be
rebooted.
Telnet Session (Remote Access)
Remote access to the repeater may be gained through a LAN connection and a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP. As with the serial connection CSI suggests the use of TeraTerm. In the
following description, again, “Teraterm” is used to establish the Telnet session. Also, it will be
required that the network configuration 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, Configuring your PC is
normally fairly straight forward but because it does vary somewhat with the operating system
involved, this manual will not detail the procedure. If you require assistance, contact your IT
department and they will be able to set up your PC for you.
When the Tera Term 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 Telnet.
The TCP Port must be 23.

Pressing the “OK” button will bring the user to the following screen, which will require the user to
log in. In dual band units, each band is changed independently and requires an independent
login. To make changes to the cellular band the default user name is “cellband”. The default
user name for changing the PCS band is “pcsband”.
In the field after the prompt “DSP85-PCS-X login;” type the user name for the band to be changed.
The default password is “csi1234” for both bands. After typing the password press the enter key
and the main menu will be displayed as shown next.

Telnet and serial sessions both provide access to the same CLI interface. We have
already shown many of the options available with the Set Parameters selection, so next
you will find examples of the screens and options available when Get Parameters and
System Commands are chosen.

Selection of Link Status will provide useful information about the current repeater status and
performance. Below is an example of the status screen.
Selection of the System Events option will bring up the following set of sub-options.

The System Information selection will display the following screen.
Modem Interface (Remote Access with login)
A modem can also be used to gain remote access to the unit provided the repeater has been
properly equipped. A selection of modems is available as an option. If the modem requires a SIM
card for activation, it must be added to the repeater before site installation and operation. Special
requirements must be met for the SIM card to become fully functional, contact the service provider.
In addition, an IP address must be obtained and entered into the CSI-DSP85-CP.
Once the modem has been installed and activated, it can be accessed from any terminal emulation
program just as in the serial and Telnet examples provided earlier. Access response time will
depend on many factors, some of which are:
• Quality of the connection (RF signal in the case of wireless modems)
• Technology (CDMA, EDGE, GPRS, etc.)
• Network congestion (Throughput)
When a connection has been established, the same login screen shown in both the serial and
Telnet examples is presented.
