Any installation, adjustment, maintenance and repair of the equipment must only be carried out by
trained, authorized personnel. At all times, personnel must comply with any safety notices and
instructions.
Specific hazards are indicated by symbol labels on or near the affected parts of the equipment. The
labels conform to international standards, are triangular in shape, and are coloured black on a yellow
background. An informative text label may accompany the symbol label.
Hazard labelling is supplemented by safety notices in the appropriate equipment manual. These
notices contain additional information on the nature of the hazard and may also specify precautions.
Warning Notices:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards which may cause death or injury to the operator or
others. Examples of use are cases of high voltage, laser emission, toxic substances, point of high
temperature, etc.
Alert Notices:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards which may cause damage to the equipment. An
example of use is the case of static electricity hazard.
Caution notices may also be used in the handbook to draw attention to matters that do not constitute a
risk of causing damage to the equipment but where there is a possibility of seriously impairing its
performance, e.g. by mishandling or gross maladjustment. Warnings and Cautions within the main text
do not incorporate labels and may be in shortened form.
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
We have being continuing to refine our OMT product to facilitate installation, commissioning as well as
operation and maintenance of our products. Described in this document is the usage of OMT v4.00
that can be connected to the equipments locally or remotely. OMT v4.00 offers a portable solution for
customer service personnel.
Key features:
• The integrated OMT including the functions of OMT both v2.20 and v3.22
• Graphical presentation of alarm status, configuration and management
• Comprehensive equipment information
• On-line help
OMT v4.00 is designed for the commissioning of repeaters, boosters and tower mounted products (i.e.
equipments in the context) in real-time. It keeps the status of the equipments in real-time and ensures
QoS for the network operator. The equipments connected by OMT v2.20 (the equipments of EP31 and
CSP2 protocol) or OMT v3.22 (the equipments of EP42 and CSP3 protocol) respectively before can be
connected by OMT v4.00.

AT Command Configuration
If users have selected [Remote connection via modem] from the connection type, but modem failed to
initialize because it doesn’t support the default modem initialization AT commands. Users can solve
this problem through configuring modem initialization AT commands.
Note:
OMT modem will initiate with default AT commands, which meets most initialization requirements of
industrial modem. In most cases, users DON’T need to modify modem setting unless user’s
confirmation in modem initialization failure is caused by default modem initialization AT commands.

[disable].
a) [Enable]: To enable the AT command and OMT will execute the next AT command whether
modem responds the AT command correctly or not.
b) [Disable]: This AT command will not be executed.
c) [Mandatory]: To enable the AT command and only when modem responds the At command
correctly, OMT will execute the next AT command, otherwise the initialization process will be
terminated.
[Send]: The content of AT command.
[Response]: Required respond command for the executing AT command.
[TimeOut]: Time limit of receiving response info from modem.
[Description]: Brief description of the AT command.

PA Switch on/off
Switch on/off is used to enable/disable the PA output. When user checks and sets non-RF parameters,
such as checking physical antenna connection, switch off will disable equipment power temporarily to
avoid the electro-magnetic emission from the repeater in operation.
When UL/DL PA switch on/off is in [on] state, their outputs are enabled.
When UL/DL PA switch on/off is in [off] state, their outputs are disabled. Their parameters (ATT,
power, Gain, and alarm) can not be read or set. Other parameters, such as threshold values and other
parameters are not affected and can be read. Chassis lock alarm, over temperature and external
alarms reflect true conditions.
Config:
Select the required state in setting columns RF information window for UL/DL PA switch, then use
[Config] button to finish the config operation. The selection of UL PA Switch is shown in the following
figure.
ATT
ATT adjustment includes UL/DL Pre-ATT and UL/DL Post-ATT adjustment. The purpose of adjusting
the DL Pre-ATT is to avoid BTS input power exceeds the power range and thus to ensure call quality.
Post-ATT is used to assist adjustment uplink/downlink gain, or to decrease downlink output LNA level
to minimize interference to BTS. This Post-ATT value is pre-set, User need not to adjust the value
unless absolutely necessary.
Config:
Select the required value in setting columns of RF information window for Pre-ATT and Post-ATT, and
use [Config] button to finish the config operation.
Alarm threshold
Config:
Enter the required value in setting columns of RF information window for Alarm threshold, and click
[Config] button to finish the config operation.
Alarm Config
This is optional feature must supported by connected equipment. If connected equipment does not
support this feature, this item would not be showed or in grey.
Alarm config includes Alarm Level and External Alarm Name configuration that specify the alarming
information for external alarm.
There are two alarm levels: High Level and Low Level that can be set by user according to actual
operating condition. When choosing Low Level, it means once the external alarm input status is ‘Low
Level’ then external alarm will be triggered.
The External Alarm Name can also be specified by user for convenient management.
Config:
Enter the required value in [Status] columns and click [Config] button to finish the config operation.
Alarm Control
1> When an alarm occurs and its submitting is allowed, then the equipment will report alarm by
defined manner (SMS, Data Link, GRPS or Ethernet), the alarm will be sent to OMC Alarm
Report Number or OMT alarm receiver, When receiving alarm, the OMC/OMT will respond to
equipment, with alarm ACK. After the equipment receive alarm ACK, the whole process is
complete.
2> If equipment can not receive the alarm ACK from OMC/OMT, it will resend the alarm to the
OMC/OMT again after a predefined period. User can set the resend times.
Alarm Control includes Alarm Detect Times Interval and Max. Alarm Report Times within 24 Hours.
for External Alarm which will be triggered immediately once alarm input status is in the alarming
status.
‘255’ is reserved, not be used in Alarm Detect Times Interval.
2> Max Alarm Report Times in 24 Hours: the setting range is [0~255].
‘0’ means alarm can not be sent to OMC/OMT.
‘n (1~255)’ means equipment sends alarm (if any) to OMC/OMT max. n times within 24 hours.
Once the actual alarm report times achieve n, equipment will not send alarm to OMC/OMT
anymore and the alarm status will not be changed within 24 hours.
Click any tree node in [Alarm Info] node, [Alarm Parameter Information] window will appear in the right
side.
The picture below shows the alarm information of clicking [Master Alarm] node.
