Thanks for choosing Helios Pico Repeaters, please read the User Manual carefully before usingthe repeater.

1. Overview

With the development of mobile communication technology, more and more new communicationtechnologies (like 4G) will be adopted nowadays. Hence, telecom operators have to handlemulti-system simultaneity and have to face the problem of re-farming spectrum resource forfuture.

For operators, they must optimize their network and offer best service to users to improve theircompetitive ability. However, 3G signals attenuate severely when traveling through walls, floors,and windows, leaving more than 40% of all indoor spaces with inadequate coverage and poor datathroughput. Then the operators need a cost-effective solution to resolve such coverage problems

easily and rapidly.

Helios® Digital Indoor ICS Pico Repeater is an innovation technology, which is adopting SDR(Software Define Radio) technology basis on FPGA & DSP (Digital Signal Processing) platform. Itenables on-the-fly filter be changed/upgraded by software without expensive hardware upgrading.It can support both multi sub-band selective (bandwidth tunable) and/or channel selectivefunction. “Plug & Play” – basically no need for configuration and free of maintenance.

2. Illuminating

Uplink : Communication link from handset to BTS.Downlink : Communication link from BTS to handset. Self-oscillation : An amplified signal being received & amplified again by repeater is calledself-oscillation that will cause components fault. ICS: The Interference Cancellation System, which can automatically detect and eliminate allmulti-path feedback signals. It can moderate the requirements of isolation between donor antennaand service antenna.

10.10.2 Firmware Update

Sometimes, in need to update the firmware of NMS board to new version, it can help users to complete

the firmware update step by step.

Click Browse and find the upgrade file (e.g. IAP_LCD_V4_V1.1_without PA.bin), then click Set to start the

upgrading as follows:





21 / 27

After upgrading completed, it will automatically jump to logon window.

Note: Please keep power on and no any operations during firmware upgrading.

10.10.3 Debug Modules

For the modules inside the repeater, such as PA (Power Amplifier) modules and DSP modules etc., their

monitoring interface are all RS485, and each module has built-in flash for storing data and firmware.

Sometimes , because of users’ improper operation or other unpredictable reasons, the data and

firmware stored inside some modules maybe damaged and results in abnormal operation.

Debug Modules function can help users to restore data and firmware from built-in flash to default

factory settings.

Following is the main window of Debug sub menu:





22 / 27

Input : Reserved debug function for the manufacturer. Input valid command into Input box, click Set , and

it will return data in Output box.

Output : Reserved debug function for the manufacturer. It can return data according to the command in

Input box which can help manufacturer to check working status and locate fault for specific module.

Restore Flash Datas : Restore the default factory settings from built-in flash. Users should double check

and specify desired module and technology before use it.

Backup Flash Datas : Reserved debug function for the manufacturer to backup the default factory

settings into built-in flash for restoring in the futu re. It’s not recommended to use this function for users

and it’s better to keep the default factory settings.

Module SN : Display the involved in underlying modules (equipment modules) serial numbers.

10.10.4 Replace NMS Board

In case of NMS board damage, users should change a new one. However, inside the damaged NMS

board, there’s a lot of basic information of the repeater. It’s better to have a way to copy the information

to the new one.

Replace function can help users to copy the original information from OMC via GPRS to the new NMS

board in case of replacement. This function can be only available while system communication is by

GPRS.

Before replace a new NMS board, please double check the GPRS is enable, and the parameters of APN

Name, GPRS Server and GPRS Port are all in correct status.





23 / 27

Replace : select Enable

SN: Input the original S/N of the fault NMS board which is to be changed, click Set to copy the original

information from OMC via GPRS to the new NMS board.

Status : To return the setting result Succeed : replacement is successful, and the original information has already been written into the

new NMS board. Replace SN is inexistence : inputted the wrong S/N, it is not existence. Fail : other failure.
