2 WAVEXpress/BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide
1-1.1 Module Identification Numbers
The part number, revision number and serial number of each module needs to be logged. This information is needed
for technical support, warranty situations or product updates. Use the WAVEXpress/BTS Installation Checklist located
in the appendix to log this information.
1-2 WAVEXpress/BTS Modules
The WAVEXpress is shipped with all cards and modules installed in the chassis, according to the ordered configuration.
Upon opening the front door, several basic parts to the unit are visible:
• The power supply module
• Fan assemblies
• The clock module
•Card cage
• All installed cabling.
NOTE
☛
The TRX cards have 4 configuration labels affixed to their front face. They are:
•TRX Module 1900MHz
•PWR AMP 1900MHz
•DSP/TRX
•RF/TRX
The first two labels identify the operating frequency band of the TRX. The RF/TRX
label identifies the RF characteristics of the TRX.
Note that each descriptive label is followed by a part number, revision number
and serial number label.
NOTE
☛
Note only the serial number of the TRX card in the checklist. Do not note the serial
numbers of the power amp, DSP and RF boards. This is because the serial number
of the TRX module is the only number visible from the OMC.
