O/S: Window XP, Window 7

2)

Pre-testing of Remote Access: Between Local/Remote GUI and TMB-9100

3)

Turn off BTS first before starting your works

4)

Turn on TMB first after finishing your works

5)

Calculate and consider the output power of BTS and Input signal level of TMB-9100

6)

Step 3. DC Cable Installation
4) Connect DC jack with DC cable
Local electrical code should be followed in connecting DC power to the MCPA 9100 system. In order
to connect DC Cable, connect cable to DC INPUT port, and then connect the other end to DC Power
Source. The DC input power cable is illustrated in Figure 1.
The DC cable from the base station is connected to the DC INPUT port as shown in Figure 1. Use
two AWG08 cable to the DC INPUT through bottom interface panel. The DC cable should be
protected with a 40-amp minimum circuit breaker.

B: -48Volt, A: Ground

Step 12. Check output Power
1)
2)

Check output power of TMB with spectrum analyzer

connection with coupling port of TMB

TX Coupling port (-40 dB +/- 1dB) using a spectrum analyzer. And Add jumper cable loss.
To protect the spectrum analyzer, use TX coupling port -20 dB fixed attenuator.

According to traffics, the output power will be fluctuated.

Please check total power of TMB

Appendix 1: TMB Operation
1. Auto Attenuation Function
- TMB has automatic function to protect its circuit while output power is higher than 52dBM in traffic increasing time
- The reduction of TX Gain will be reduced and the step is 0.5dB
2. ALC Mode
- In high traffic sector, please set ALC Mode On and ALC Level.
- Max ALC level range is from 40 to 51dB.
- It will automatically optimize the TX Gain with 0.5dB step.
3. Auto Recovery Algorithm
- TMB will alive automatically if TMB has Overpower alarm after 3minutes.
4. TMB Power Detection time
- 100ms
- It will provide real time measurement but the accuracy will be less than Spectrum Analyzer.
5. SMS delay or missing
- While MCU is working with other job, it cannot update or report alarms and control command.
- Try again to set or check TMB unit.
- After setting TMB, it takes time to report new information. Tray again to get new information.
- Responding time for Control command: 5sec to set (general environment)
- Responding time for Request command: 10-20sec (general environment)

Appendix 2: Remote GUI & Modem Box
Checking Points
1. Local GUI and Remote GUI are optimized for O/S of Window 7 and XP.
Other version of O/S cannot be suitable for GUIs and Remote Access.

2. Modem Box cannot be compatible for USB port of your PC. Please use other USB Port or your PC if
there are several Pop-up menu for disconnection.
3. If the communication between GUI and Modem box are disconnected, Pop up -menu can be generated.
Please click ok and check Modem
4. If you order several message in case that you cannot
receive replies from TMB or other purpose, this modem
can handle every requests from you and TMB so that this
message will be come.
Please restart Remote GUI for solving the matter or
turn off /on the modem box.
5. In few case, SIM card error will be happened.
You connect and check everything is OK but if the
communication between GUI and TMB is not proper,
Please check SIM Card connection or SIM Card Error.
6. In Rare cases, the received SMS from TMB cannot be erased in Modem Box so that it can make unstable Remote
Access. Please check SMS Clean button
