Customers are asked to advise their incoming inspection, assembly, and test personnel as to the precautions required in handling and testing ESD sensitive opto-electronic components. Physical damage to the external surfaces voids warranty. These products are covered by the following warranties: 1.
c. Repaired products are warranted for the balance of the original warranty period, or at least 90 days from date of shipment. 3.
Functionality In order to function properly, during initial set-up the downlink signal must be presented to the EkoMini. Without the downlink signal, the unit will not operate properly. The EkoMini is capable of automatically adjusting its own signal gain levels up to the maximum output power levels. The EkoMini detects the downlink output power and adjusts the level for 20-dBm composite output power and continues to monitor and reset the gain as required for proper system performance.
Band Selection All Frequency Bands must be factory set and cannot be altered in the field. If you desire your EkoMini to be set to a different Frequency Band than originally ordered, it must be returned to the factory. Please contact Customer Service. System Set Up Instructions: - During initial set-up, downlink signal must be presented to the unit. - Apply Power - Log in to GUI via Web browser - Set Up Peak Power and Uplink Offset - Restart Unit Using Setup Screen.
Getting Started Unpack all of the boxes and insure all of the material is included for your installation requirements and undamaged in shipment. EkoMini with IP Modem QTY 1 1 1 Description EkoMini Manual Test Data, Factory Mounting EkoMini is designed for optimum use as an in-door repeater. The housing is not weather resistant and the automatic set up procedure assumes sufficient isolation between antennas is assured.
This unit will be installed by a professional installer using the appropriate anchors, etc. to support a minimum of 30 lbs(actual weight of unit is 10 lbs) with four(4) #8 screws a minimum of 1 ¼ inch in length(not provided with unit) for the surface where the unit is being mounted in the orientation shown located within 2.95 meters of the unit. Standard hand/power tools possessed by any qualified installer are adequate for both installing and removing the unit.

adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be determined by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output device. AC Systems (EkoMini with IP Modem) The voltage input range is 100-240VAC, single phase 50-60Hz. Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the unit to a power source. If you do not know whether the outlet is grounded, consult with a qualified electrician.
User Interface Overview The IPWMM (IP connected wireless modem module) allows the user to monitor the operation of the repeater and control some of it’s function remotely. The modem connects through a CDMA200 network and looks and acts like an IP connection. Once the user knows the IP address of the modem he/she can connect to the repeater using a laptop connected to the internet.
Using A Web Browser to Control the EkoMini Web Browser Overview The web browser will allow you to monitor the operation of the EkoMini and configure some of the parameters. The web interface can be used locally with a computer connected to the EkoMini or through the wireless modem connection. Connecting Remotely or through the Ethernet Power Local Connection The user must make sure the computer connected locally is configured properly to use the local ethernet connection.

Figure 5 When connecting locally enter http://172.16.0.1 in the browser address bar. Remote Connection Through the Wireless Modem You’ll need to find out the IP address of the modem and enter it into the browser address bar. The wireless service provider needs to supply this address since the addresses are dynamically allocated. Be sure there are no firewalls that prevent connection.
Start/Login Page From this page you can view some of the screens or log in to gain access. We’ll look at what you can do without logging in.
View SNMP Settings SNMP can be used to transport alarm and heartbeat messages from the EkoMini to server that can decode those messages. On this page you can view some of the settings. See the section below on the SNMP page (after login) to read about the items on this page.
View Software Version Information On this page you can view the software versions installed in the machine. There is nothing here to set.
View SNMP Log On this page you can see the SNMP messages that have been sent by the repeater. This may prove useful when first setting the repeater up to see that the messages are going to the right IP address. Note that the heartbeat messages are not acknowledged by the server on the other end, someone on the SNMP server end needs to verify the messages are being received.
Login to the EkoMini To gain access to the EkoMini you’ll need a username and password. Enter the default passwords USERNAM1 in the User ID field, PASSWRD1 in the Password field and click the System Logon button.
After Logging In – View the Main Page After login you will see the main page. From here you can view the EkoMini setup, alarm information and alarm reporting (SNMP) configuration.
Setup the EkoMini – Auto Setup Page Refer to the EkoMini manual for the steps you need to take before attempting to set up the EkoMini for operation. After the EkoMini has been connected to power, the donor and server antenna port to port to port isolation has been verified, the antenna port return loss has been verified then it’s safe to setup the EkoMini. On the Main Page hit the Auto_Setup link. You’ll the Automatic Setup Page. Press start and wait for 3 minutes.
Setup the Monitoring - SNMP Page You need to setup the IP address where the heartbeat messages and any alarm messages will be sent. You can also set the time between heartbeats. Note: A heartbeat is a message sent from the repeater to the SNMP Server IP Address that shows the repeater is still operating. Site ID The Site ID is set to identify the repeater site. This is part of the message sent to the SNMP server.
This shows the IP address of the wireless modem. This IP address is assigned by the wireless network.
If Desired View Repeater Parameters – Repeater Parameter Page At any time you can go ahead and look at the operating parameters of the repeater. See the EkoMini manual for a description of the non-obvious parameters. After you have made a change in the parameters click the Save button to save them.
Password Page On this page you can change usernames and passwords. See the EkoMini user’s guide to understand passwords and access level.
Alarm Page On the alarm page you can determine if an alarm is active and if it’s enabled. If an alarm is set to Disable then the alarm will be ignored. The Alarm Table Enable on the top of the page will allow you turn off all alarms or to turn on the alarms as described in the Alarm Status Table. See the EkoMini Users Manual for the meanings of the alarms, the alarm types and the alarm state.
Version Page This page shows the software version numbers. It is for reference.
SNMP Log Page This page shows SNMP messages being sent by the repeater.
SNMP Reporting Format Overview of SNMP Reporting Heartbeat – Periodic Reporting This table is intended to describe the periodic reporting requirement. The transport mechanism is UDP using SNMP version 3 (USM compatible) protocol. Alarms are sent via INFORM PDU. Heartbeats are sent via TRAP PDU. Self-reporting will use the following format: Site ID, Date, Time, Parameter Name, Alarm Status. Note: all existing sites will need to be updated to the existing format if a reporting capability is desired.
17. Alarm Status Alarm Status will be SET for alarm conditions, and will be CLEAR when the alarm clears. An example of the Over Temp notification Wireless Alarm Reporting follows: Repeater Number 1|09/26/2003|19:54:36|Over Temperature|SET This message is an example of the Overtemp alarm reported when the Repeater Number 1’s internal temperature rises above its maximum operating level.
