3.2.1 Quick GUI/Configuration
Use the following steps to commission the Repeater after all the cabling and antennas are fixed
in place and the Repeater is supplied with proper electrical power. The repeater will need a
stable Downlink RSSI input level in the range of -85dBm to -60dBm.
1. Connect your laptop to the LAN port on the repeater with a Crossover Ethernet cable.
2. Verify your laptop has all wireless connections turned off and is set to obtain an IP
address automatically, or you may use a fixed IP address: 172.16.6.82, with a Subnet
Mask of 255.255.255.252, no default Gateway.
3. Open web browser and enter: 172.16.6.81.
4. User name: admin.

3.2.2 Quick Setup
1. Go to the RF Configuration page.
2. Before the Amplifier (HPA) can be turned on, set the Uplink and Downlink attenuation
(ATT) to the maximum value and click Apply.
3. Select the correct Band Block and set the ALC Downlink and Uplink Limits to the desired
level and click Apply. (To adjust the Output Power, change the ALC Downlink and Uplink
Limits to the desired levels).
4. To check the Repeater’s status, click on the Status page.
5. To change the Repeater’s gain, adjust the Uplink and Downlink attenuation in equal
amounts not more than 5dB at a time and click Apply.
