5.5.1. System Control • Easy Setup is a fast start function. The function measures isolation, detects input level and assing gain to achieve maximum output power. The function ends with the repeater set to amplify siganals in both directions within the confines of the band selection. Before runing easy setup, set the center frequency and bandwidth (refer to 4.3.3 part 2). Maximum output power requires at least -71dBm input power and suficient antenna isolaiton.
all other system parameters are not changed. The featurs is usefull in claering abnormal conditions. • System Reset cycles the microporcessor unit. The function is similar to switching off/on the repeater power switch. 5.5.2. Operating Control • DL and UL Path Control allows the user to toggle on or off the power ampligiers. • DL and UL Gain is available when AGC mode is off. The user may enter gain values manually. Manual gain control is an alternative to autonatic gain control(AGC).
5.5.3. Alarm Control • Alarm response time may be set between 1 and 5 minutes. • Alam Mask allows the user to customize the type of alarms sent to the SNMP server when remote monitoring is in use. 5.5.4. Band select • Band select sets the digital filter to the center frequency and bandwidth of the local service for which the repeater is intended to ampligy. Likewise, all other signals outside of the selected Center Frequency and Bandwidth are rejected.
Step 2. Click OK. Step 3. When below pop-up appears after Isolation is completed, Click OK. Step 4. AGC must be turned on. AGC automatically assigns gain in accordance with AGC level. Use AGC level to increase or decrease gain. (Gain Offset is a gain differential between DL Output gain and UL output gain.) Ex>AGC Level 24dBm, Gain Offset -3dB → DL Output +24dBm, UL Output +21dBm AGC Level 24dBm, Gain Offset 0dB → DL Output +24dBm, UL Output +24dBm APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
Step 5. Turn on the DL and UL path controls. 5.6.1.2. Manual Gain setting When you want to set gain value not using Auto Gain control refer to the following. Step 1. For manual gain control AGC must be turned off. APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
Step 2. The user can select any gain value as long as it does over-drive the amplifier or exceed isolation requirements. Gain is automatically limited where conditions do not permit high gain. Select the DL and UL Fain values. Turn on the DL and UL path controls. 5.6.2. Easy Setup [NOT Recommended] 5.6.2.1. AGC Level 24dBm Step 1. Click Apply after setting Center Frequency and Band With in use APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
Step 2. Input AGC Level desired and click Apply. Step 3. Easy Setup proceeds to: • Data Initial execution • Isolation Test exeduted • Calculation of Available Maximum Gain by the isolation • DL/UL Path On • AGC On to obtain DL Output Power AGC Level or Maximum Gain 95dB • ASD On • AGC Off • Easy setup takes about 2minutes. Click Excute button of Easy Setup APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
Step 4. Click OK. Step 5. Setup will automatically begin. This process takes approximately 3minute. Result 1. Constant Maximum DL Output Power 24dBm (AGC Level 24dBm) If the DL input Power ≥ -71dBm Result 2. Maximum Gain 95dB if the DL input Power <-71dBm APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
5.6.2.2. AGC Level 20dBm Step 1. Click Execute button of Easy Setup after setting AGC Level to 20dBm. Step 2. Click OK. Result. Constant Maximum DL Output Power 20dBm (AGC Level 20dBm) If the DL input Power ≥ -71dBm APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.
5.7. GUI Status The status page display system, operating, and alarm information. When you set any value on the Control page the change will be reflected on Status page. 5.7.1. System • Repeater infornation such as firmware version and location • The current band setting, set from the control page, is shown in bold font. 5.7.2. Operating • DL Path Monitor displays input from the donor antenna circuit, output power at repeater server antenna port, and downlink amplifier gain.
• UL Path Monitor displays input from the server antenna circuit, output powr at repeater donor port, and uplink amplifier gain. • Isolation Status shows isolation value (dB) between the donor antenna and server antennas. • Available gain allowed by isolation measurement. Available gain is derived from the antenna isolation value plus 15dB. Full system gain(95dB) is available if the isolation value is at least 110dB. 5.7.3. Alarm • If an alarm occurs, the alarm LED on the repeater will turn on.

Gain, Input/ Output power or DC Current are changing randomly or appear to be unstable. The red light is on. Oscillation Most common cause for unstable gain and power is feedback brought on by insufficient antenna isolation. 1. Reduce repeater gain and/or AGC level. 2. Improve the field conditions that cause poor antenna isolation. Automatic Shutdown Automatic shutdown occurs when the amplifier is over driven. The amplifier is most commonly overdriven by: 1. Oscillation due to poor antenna isolation.
