OMT Software User Manual ordinary circumstance, it takes between 30 and 60 seconds for the repeater to respond a command. So user shall commit Get and Set action one by one to improve response speed. The message window will indicate short message sent successfully when the command is executed successfully. As Figure 24:

Figure 24

2.2.5 Operation of SMS mode

Data mode is similar with SMS mode. Data mode requires the computer connect with cellular phone or wireless modem. It also requires remote connection setting. Committing Get and Set action one by one is also recommended to improve response speed. The difference between Data mode and SMS mode is: in Data mode, after clicking connect button, OMT will dial up immediately. As the following figure:

Figure 25 After being connected successfully, the main window shows. a) Using dial up, connection is difficult to setup and data communication is slow and unreliable. User can

click the Dial up button in the toolbar to redial when the dialup connection is disconnected. As the following figure:

2.5 Notes for remote communication

a) The system has 2 modes for remote communication: SMS mode or Data mode. System couldnt transfer

from one mode to another automatically. User can send command to switch the working mode. Working with local mode, user can switch arbitrarily. However, in remote mode, user shall know which mode he/she working with. Then he/she use command to switch the system from one to another. For example, user works in SMS mode. He/she shall use OMT to send a SMS command to switch the working mode to data mode. Repeater receives the SMS. If repeater accept the command, it reply a successful setting SMS. After the message is sent successfully, repeater is switched to data mode. Then, user shall use data mode to query and set parameters in the repeater. b) To remotely control, the specified phone number shall be same as MOC Query/Control phone NO.

Otherwise, user cant set parameter but query parameter in the repeater. As the following figure:

18 of 19 Rosenberger Asia Pacific Electronic Co., Ltd Tel: +86 10 80481995 Fax: +86 10 80482438

OMT Software User Manual Figure 35 c) In SMS mode, SMSC phone No. in Engineering Parameter tab must be specified correctly. Otherwise

repeater cant work., As the following figure:

Figure 36 d) In data mode, OMT software has 1 minute timing protection on the packages sent out. When data

connection is established, we suggest user wait about 20 seconds to execute commands against repeater. If the system has no response, user shall wait more than 1 minute for OMT. e) For closed repeater, user shall reset cut the power supply of the repeater after inserting SIM card.
