66 In the

Configuration and Alarm Details of DART n

window that opens, set the

DART

Attributes

. The table at the bottom of the

Configuration and Alarm Details of DART n

window shows how many SFPs have been discovered that are available for

linking—their corresponding timeslots are blank.

aa In the

DART Name

box, enter a name for the DART between 5 and 32 characters

with no spaces. The only special character allowed is an underscore, but it

cannot be the first character of the name. Numerals are allowed, but cannot be

the first character of the name.

bb In the

DART Pass Band (Timeslots)

list, select the DART Pass Band to be

supported by this DART. The list will include only those pass bands that are

valid selections for the DART band. For example, if the DART band is

“cellular,” only cell pass bands are listed.

cc In the

New Link

list, select the SFP ID for the fiber to be used to communicate

with the Remote for the DART's RF. Only the IDs of fiber with enough available

contiguous timeslots for the selected passband will be available in the

New Link

list. The table in the lower part of the screen shows which fibers are available

and which timeslots on the fibers are in use. Be careful to select a fiber to the

Remote to which you want to link.

dd In the

Timeslots

list, select the timeslots on the fiber that will carry the RF. The

Timeslots

list displays the range of timeslots that can be used—only unused

timeslots will be available for selection. If the DART is already linked to a

Remote, the

Timeslots

list comprises the timeslots being used for that previous

link. If you are linking to more than one Remote, the same timeslots must be

used on all fibers for this DART.
