If you are set up to use DHCP, the window shown below will be displayed. 

Select “Use the following IP address:” and enter “192.168.1.2.”  The subnet mask 

should automatically populate to “255.255.255.0”.

Nothing else will need  to be chosen or entered. Click “OK”, then “OK again and 

retry connection.

A crossover Ethernet cable (supplied) must be used for Web Interface access.  

As a reminder, you must verify the Ethernet port on your laptop is powered. If 

your laptop is on battery power, the Ethernet port may be inactive by default.  If 

this is the case simply plug in the laptop to a 110vac source or change the power 

settings to enable the Ethernet port when the laptop is using battery power.

All cables should be checked for shorts and opens. Also verify that there are no cables with loose or poor connections. RF leakage could 
cause oscillation to occur under some conditions.

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 site he or she has selected before 
the system is turned on.

If cables and alignment are acceptable and a problem persists, it may be necessary to use a spectrum analyzer to examine the signal 
environment in which the unit is operating. The existence of strong  adjacent channel signals within the frequency band(s) can cause the 

AGC to reduce the amplifi er’s gain or cause alarms. In some cases additional fi ltering or attenuation might be required to reject these 
unwanted signals. In some instances, the donor 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 fi ltered or oth-
erwise reduced or eliminated without expensive and possibly prohibitive measures. In these cases it may not be practical to use the CSI 
repeater for providing coverage to these sites.

1:1 PORT CONFIGURATION

   

Input

: One single band duplex port, from the dual band donor.

Output

: One single band duplex port to the DAS.

There are no physical connections provided to specifi cally communicate system or alarm status. This information is embedded in the 
information accessible via the communication ports described earlier.
