OMS Lite Introduction

The OMS Lite is an efficient and convenient management tool for monitoring,
configuring, and organizing Remotek repeaters. With the built in GUI, icons enable
the operator to execute command by mouse click.
It is a powerful tool used to communicate with the repeaters from both distant and
local locations. It is capable of handling a large number of repeaters simultaneously.
It utilizes a Modem and the SMSC as means for activities like searching, monitoring
parameters, alarm handling, database importing and exporting etc. System

1.1 Installation Guide

The installation process for the OMS Lite are listed below
1. Disable the UAC in the Window OS.
2. Stop the Antivirus software, SKYPE, TeamView, and the Firewall on the
computer.
3. The OMS Lite tool has been packaged into an execution file (.exe file). Please
start to install this tool by double clicking the execution file directly. After clicking
the execution file. The following window of installation notice would pop out.
Follow the instructions displayed on the window, and complete the installation.

Figure 1
YES to Install
Click Y
Install button, and follow the instructions to complete the setup

Remember to unlock the APACHE web servers firewall protection if any pop-up
window asking you to do that.
Restart the computer after the installation is complete.
4. Connect the modem (with a valid SIM card inside, no pin codes) to the computer.
5. Click the Remotek OMS Lite icon on the computer desktop and start the OMS
Litef

1.2 Upgrade the OMS Lite

OMS Lite can be upgraded via the internet or the use of local files. For detailed information regarding
the Upgrade, please refer to section 4.4.
Most popular drivers are already installed while installing the OMS. However, additional drivers for the
repeaters can still be installed into the OMS, simply just copy the driver files (which are .exe files) into
the computer to any location in the computer. Use mouse to double click on the .exe file, then the
Software Installation window would pop out.

Figure 2
Continue Anyway
Click on the driver in the Model region, and then click on the Continue
Anyway to install the driver
into the OMS. After the installation is complete, an Installation window would pop out indicating that
the installation is complete.

Figure 3
If an old version of the same driver has been installed before, then two drivers would be seen under
Continue
the Model region. Choose the driver that ends with a higher number and then click on the Continue
Anyway
Anyway to install the newer version driver into the OMS.

1.3 Upgrade the RA Server version.

The RA server would be installed automatically while installing the OMS. Hence, normally no
installation for the RA server is required. However, there may be times that the RA Server needs to be
upgraded. If the RA server needs to be upgraded, Remotek would provide a folder with all the
necessary files in it to the customer. The procedures to upgrade the RA Server are listed below:
1. Stop the OMS Service (Please refer to section 1.6 for detailed info about how to Stop the OMS).
2. Copy the folder that Remotek provided for RA Server upgrading into the computer that the OMS
was installed in.
3. Copy all the files that is in the folder to the C:\web\raserver folder and replace the old files (if
required)
4. RA Service upgrade is complete, start the OMS service.

1.4 OMS Lite Software

To access the repeater, the OMS Lite needs to connect to the repeater directly or
needs to connect to a GSM/WCDMA modem that sends the request to the repeater
by SMS (Short Message Service). If the repeater has the GSM/WCDMA modem with
a valid SIM card inside of it, the repeater would send a SMS feedback to the OMS
Lite through the GSM/WCDMA modem of the OMS Lite, and the information would
be displayed on the OMS Lite user interface. If the OMS lite is used for remote
connection to the repeater, make sure the signal for the modem is good enough (For
2G, the Rx level should be -85dBm; for 3G, the RSCP should be -95dBm) to
ensure the modem can successfully register to the RF network.
The figure below illustrates the flowchart of how to create and monitor the repeater
using OMS Lite.

While running the OMS Lite for the first time, no repeater would be present in the list
of [Device Browser]
Browser].(in the blue block) The process of create a new repeater is
depicted as below:
1.

Choose Device => Add/ Delete; select a region from [Device Browser] window. (If no
region is available in the Device Browser, please create a region first. For creating the region,
please refer to section 2.3.1
2.3.1)

2.

Fill the site ID (i.e. the repeater name) and choose the Region from the [Device Browser]

The site ID (repeater name)

name) cannot be repeated. Each repeater must have its own
unique Site ID
ID. There cannot be two repeaters using exactly same Site ID
ID.
There is another parameter which is the Repeater ID
ID, and this Repeater ID
ID
parameter also should not be repeated.
3.

Choose the RAserver (usually the default setting is correct)

4.

Fill in the phone number (the SIM card number in that is inserted in the repeater) of the
repeater.

OMS Lite Users Manual

Notice: The SIM card number that is set here (during the process of creating a new
repeater in the OMS) cannot be identical to the SIM card number that was set for
another repeater in the OMS. (i.e. one SIM card number can only be set for one
repeater in the OMS)
5.

Select the correct driver that is for the specific repeater by click on the repeater, then click
on the Remotek, then choose the correct driver.

Notice: The Auto Protocol Detecting Function can only detect the protocol of the
repeater. If the engineer doesn
doesnt know the driver of the repeater please contact
Remotek.
6.

Define Device Structure: Depends on what type of repeater you need to create. If your
device does not belong to fiber optic repeater (FOR) or frequency shit repeater (FSR)
product category, please choose Single Device structure. If the device does belong to the
FOR or FSR category, then choose Master + 1 Slave Level as the Device Structure.

7.

Then click on OK button to finish repeater creation. Once the data is saved, the name and
the icon of the repeater will appear in the repeater list of the [Device Browser]
Browser].

8.

If the Standard_oms is selected as the driver, the following similar figure should be
appeared

If remote connection is the connection method, skip this step. If a Ethernet cable is being
used for local connection, click on the Connection Setting, and select UDP Protocol
(UDP) in the Connection Method. Type in the repeater IP and the 4067 as the port in the
for example: 192.168.0.1:4067
format of REPEATER IP : 4067, (for
192.168.0.1:4067). Then click on the SAVE

Note: Usually the REPEATER IP can be found be in the sticker on the repeater
10. Click on the MOID System, then click on SEARCH, when search for the first, a window
may pop out and inform you the actual repeater ID, and if you want to save the actual
repeater ID, just click on Yes. Then click on the SEARCH again and wait for the search
process to complete. After the search for the MOID is complete, and all the repeater
parameters would be able to SEARCH and SET with the OMS Lite. Up to this point, the
adding repeater to OMS Lite process is complete.

2.3 Region Manager

Remotek OMS Lite provides multi-layer structure (Tree Architecture) for repeaters. A
region is a directory which may contains numerous repeaters information. You
should create a region before assign the repeater to it. For example, you first add a
region named North Area as the root region, and then added some sub-regions
named as Taipei City and Keelung City under North Area. Then, some repeaters
are created under the Taipei City sub-region. It means these repeaters belong to
Taipei City sub-region, and Taipei City is included in North Area root region.
