PES1900NR Operations Manual
Chapter 9. Configuring the Repeater — 141
Gain Tab
The RepeaterNet software detects the
configuration of the repeater, and
displays the applicable gain range on
the
Gain
tab (see Figure 127). You can
adjust Forward and Reverse gain for the
selected channel.
The adjustable gain range depends on
the type of repeater, and the power level
of the repeater’s power amplifiers.
RepeaterNet limits your choice of gain
adjustments, to selections that are valid
for the specific repeater type and power
level.
NOTE:
Carefully balance the gain in
any repeater application, to
ensure proper hand-off and
system operation.
To adjust Forward PA or
Reverse PA gain:
1. Select
Configuration
->
Channel 1
or
Configuration
->
Channel 2
, to open the
Channel
Properties
screen.
2. Click
the
Gain
tab (see Figure 127).
3. Press, hold, and drag the mouse across the horizontal sliders, to define forward and
reverse gain.
NOTE:
Gain adjusts in 2 dB increments.
The gain value box (centered under each slider) displays the selected gain.
4. Click
the
Apply
or
OK
button.
•
The
Apply
button changes the gain setting, and keeps the
Channel Properties
screen open.
•
The
OK
button changes the gain setting, and closes the
Channel Properties
screen.
Alarm Control Unit (ACU) Properties
The Alarm Control Unit (ACU) subsystem provides alarm and control functions for the repeater. The
ACU monitors all repeater subsystems, and reports the status of a subsystem, either to a directly-
connected device, or to remote devices (through a dial-up modem connection).
In addition to monitoring the repeater system, the ACU contains a number of external inputs and
outputs, for monitoring and controlling external devices.
To monitor and control a repeater’s alarms:
1. Select
Alarm Control Unit
from the
Configuration
menu, in the Main Control screen.
The
Alarm Control Unit Properties
screen opens.
