3.12 Remote Alarm Disabling
From the factory, the Hub is programmed to alarm any time a Remote is
disconnected from the Hub. This safety feature is designed to indicate such
catastrophic events as the fiber to the Remote being cut. For a Hub that does
not use all eight channels, the unused channels will report an alarm by default.
These are false alarms and it will be necessary for the user to disable these
unused channels to clear the alarms.
The command to disable the unused channels is:
2>set fiber <n> = disabled
Where n corresponds to the desired channel. In the event that the wrong
channel is inadvertently disabled, or a remote is added at a later time, the
disabled channel should be enabled using the following command.
2>set fiber <n> = on
Where n corresponds to the desired channel.
3.13 Offsets
Under normal conditions, the factory default power settings are configured to
provide +12 dBm output power (1900 MHz models), or +8 dBm (800 MHz
models) at each remote. The factory settings will provide optimal performance in
most environments. However, the user has the option to change the power
settings in each remote according to individual requirements.
Set an “offset” to the default value for the desired remote. For example, to set
remote 1 to +10 dBm type:
2>set remote 1 = -2
The range for the offsets is –10 dB to +8 dB and can be set in 1 dB increments.
In this way, each remote can be tuned to the user’s specific requirements after
the system is deployed.
To verify the offsets for each remote the following command may be used:
