On-Line Commissioning
50000
On-line commissioning takes place on-site after installation and off-line commissioning. Its purpose it to
verify that the equipment is operational and can be integrated into the telecommunications network.
On-line commissioning requires the participation of two people; a field technician who operates and
tests the BTS on-site and an OMC operator who remains as the OMC console. These two must work
together, performing the procedures in this chapter in conjunction with the procedures in the
WAVEView OMC Configuration Guide.
The procedures in this chapter are divided into four sections:
• Pre on-line commissioning, where you ensure that the system is ready for online
commissioning.
• On-line commissioning, where you test that the system is ready to operate as an integral part
of the network.
• Verifying RF performance, where you perform RF-related measurements.
• Post online commissioning.
Radio Frequency Radiation Warning
Under normal operating conditions, interWAVE Communications radio
equipment complies with the limits for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All interWAVE Communications, Inc. radio
equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions radio
frequency radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared
with the permissible limit of continuous daily exposure recommended
in the United States of America by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-19991 (R1997),
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
Radio frequency signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels
can exist within the transmitter, power amplifiers, associated RF
multiplexers and antenna systems.
Do not disconnect RF coaxial connectors on the interWAVE equipment
or antenna systems while the radio equipment is operating.
Never
place any body part over, or look into any RF connector while the radio
equipment is transmitting.
