5.3.3 Manual Gain Control
Figure 5-13 Control Tab – Manual Gain Control
 DL/UL Gain: Gain levels of the repeater can be specified here
 DL/UL ALC Level: Prevents the output power from exceeding the specified value
 DL/UL Output ALC Offset: If any ALC attenuation has been applied, the system will release this
attenuation when the signal level drops by the specified level
 DL /UL Gain Balance ON: Allows the user to enable or disable the gain balance. When gain balance is
enabled, the delta value between the downlink and uplink gains remain constant
5.3.4 Alarm Settings & Battery Alarm Settings
Figure 5-14 Control Tab – Alarm & Battery Alarm Settings
 DL Signal Low Level: Allows the user to specify how low the signal can be before triggering a “Downlink
Signal Low” soft-fail alarm
 DL Signal Not Detected Level: Allows the user to specify how low the signal can be before triggering a
“Downlink Signal Not Detected” soft-fail alarm
 DL RF Power Level: Allows the user to set a maximum deviation value for the downlink RF power before
triggering a “DL RF Power Level” soft-fail alarm
- For example, if the input signal is -50 dBm and the gain is set to 60 dB, the expected output power
should be 10 dBm. If the Downlink RF Power alarm value is set to 6dB, then a soft-fail alarm will trigger
if the output power falls below 4 dBm
 DL Over Power Level: DL Over Power Alarm will trigger when the DL output level exceeds this level
 UL Over Power Level: UL Over Power Alarm will trigger when the UL output level exceeds this level
 Battery Check:
 Check All – All battery related alarms are checked which include Battery Fail, Battery Not Installed, Low
Battery, and Battery Not Charge
 Except Install – Only Battery Fail, Low Battery, and Battery Not Charge alarms are checked
 Check Off – Does not perform any battery check
 Battery Not Charge Check:
 On – Checks for the Battery Not Charge alarm
 Off – Disables the check for the Battery Not Charge alarm
