10.3 CONFIGURING DUAL-SLOT LPAS

Both LPAs in a dual-slot 40W module can be controlled from the

Configuration Details

window, which allows you to set the

LPA Operating Mode

, enable/disable a LPA, or

reset a LPA, as shown below:

The following rules apply to the dual-slot LPA installation:

•• For the second LPA, the GUI displays it in an RF group by itself. There will be no

DART in the RF group. However, you will be able to view alarms and configuration

for the RF group in case of dual LPA setup. For the “missing” DART, default values

will display. You cannot configure the missing DARTs, but can set the LPA mode

and reset the LPA.

•• User-initiated configuration of dual LPAs is simulataneous for both the LPAs. If

one of the LPAs is placed into

standby

, both go into standby. If one is placed into

normal

mode, both go into

normal

mode.

•• User initiated LPA resets are simulataneous. If one LPA is reset, so is the other.

•• Alarm handling for the two LPAs occurs independently. If one alarms and goes

into

standby

, the second LPA continues in its current state. Automatic alarm

recovery is also handled independently.
