DSPbR Series – User’s Manual 9.2 Module Replacement The CSC will auto configure RFFE or RFBE modules of the same type if replaced into the same slot as a previous RFFE or RFBE module. If the type / band is different, a manual configuration will be required. The DSP module can also be replaced whilst the DSPbR is powered, however all communications will be interrupted until such time as the DSP module is connected back into service within the sub rack frame. 9.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual No special tools are required to remove the plastic fan covers and dust filters. A mild soap wash and dry should be sufficient to clean the dust filters. Should they be perished in any way, please replace them. The fan dust filter part number is located under the part number section of this user manual. 9.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual 11. FAQ’s Connectivity: TCP/IP Ethernet connection Q: Is a standard or crossed Ethernet jumper cable used to connect a laptop/notebook directly to the DSPbR? A: A standard Cat 5, 5e or 6 jumper cable terminated both ends with RJ45 termination connectors is required to connect between the laptop/notebook Ethernet port and either Ethernet ports (front or back) on the DSPbR. RFI provide a 2 metre jumper cable in the packing box with the DSPbR.
PAGE 8
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual Configuration via SMS Q: Can the DSPbR be configured using SMS messaging? A: No. This feature is not available in Baseline 1.0. Modules General Removing and inserting RFBE and RFFE modules into the respective slots when the DSPbR is “on”. Q: What will happen if either an RFFE and/or RFBE is removed or re-inserted whilst the DSPbR is on? A: The RFFE’s and RFBE’s are designed to be removed and inserted whilst the DSPbR is “on”, hence the term “Hot Swappable”.
PAGE 9
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual A: Yes, this is possible, not only in the same band but in two different bands, i.e. where frequency translating is used. Please note that the bolted on BPFM has to correspond. Setting the Uplink and Downlink RFBE RF output power levels Q: Can the RF output power levels of any channel be set within a dB? A: Yes! The incremented RF output power levels on any channel can be adjusted in 1dB steps from +30dBm to +45dBm.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual CSC Front mounted LCD Display Q: Is there a backlight on the LCD display for dark environments? A: Yes. Q: How is the backlight activated? A: By pressing the Mode Button located immediately underneath the LCD. Q: What happens to the LCD display and backlight if the AC or DC power is turned off, A: The LCD display, backlight and information is powered by the backup battery for as long as it provides sufficient power.
PAGE 11
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual A: Via an RJ11 connector jumper cable from the CSC–Master to the CSC-Slave modules in the preceding racks. Q: Are the CSC-Master and Slave modules connected using the RJ11 jumper from the front of the sub rack frame? A: Yes. Only the CSC–Master has a single RJ11 termination connector. The CSC-Slave units have 2 x RJ11 connectors to allow for daisy chaining.
PAGE 12
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual A: Only the master CSC module has an Ethernet controller and therefore IP and MAC address. Q: In as much as the slave CSC will not be communicated to directly via a TCP/IP interface when additional sub racks are daisy chained, can we assume full functionality of master and slave units through the Master CSC TCP/IP interface? A: Yes.
PAGE 13
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual A: Within each RFBE, RFFE, in each PSU Inverter, at either end of the PSU heat sink, DSP module and Ref Gen + Aux module. Q: If the temperature within an inverter goes too high, will the inverter automatically shutdown? A: Yes Q: What temperature sensor or sensors drive the fan speeds? A: The fans' speed is dependent on the hottest module (RFBE or DSP) in their corresponding corner.
PAGE 14
DSPbR Series – User’s Manual A: Yes, a 15Amp flat earth rated socket is required, fed from a 15 Amp circuit breaker. Note: In Australia, the standard mains wall socket is rated at 10 Amps and has a smaller flat earth socket insert then the 15 Amp rated version. Q: Is the primary mains power supply fused and are the fuses changeable? A: Yes, the primary mains AC power supply is fused for both 110VA and 240VAC versions.

DSPbR Series – User’s Manual Q: Once the repeater has been connected and AC or DC power is supplied to the unit how long will it take to boot-up and initiate the RFBE’s (RF Back End RF power amplifiers) A: Approximately 45 seconds DC Power Supply Connecting the DSPbR Repeater to a DC power source Q: How should the DSPbR be connected to a DC power source? A: Via the 85Amp rated Phoenix HDFK 16A connector block situated at the rear of the DSPbR sub rack frame underneath the Ref Gen + Aux module using 6AWG ga
