7.2.2.1.3 HE BCU Commissioning
When performing BCU commissioning, the user will need to enter the DL input commissioning level and
Targeted DL Output Power Ratio for each RF path. Refer to section 7.2.2.1 to calculate DL input commissioning
level. If a port is not being used, the DL Input Commissioning Level should be set to “disabled”.
7.2.2.1.3.1 HE BCU Commissioning Procedure
x Go to Install page of the BCU on the Web-GUI
Figure 7-6 BCU Install Window
x Select a DL Input Commissioning Level for each RF path
- DL Input Commissioning Levels range is 0~+25dBm (0.5dB step)
x Enter HE BCU downlink output power ratio for each port
x Press the “Apply” button
x The attenuation value and output ALC level for each DL/UL path will be set automatically based on the HE BCU
downlink input commissioning level and downlink output power ratio for each port.
x The BCU will check to see if ALC is active on any of the ports.
- During the commissioning routine, if ALC is activated, a popup message will appear stating that
ALC is running. If this is the case, then there is a chance that the “back-off” value needs to be
increase to allow more breathing room.
x The BCU checks to see if the BCU has any alarms.
- If a soft fail is present, the system will prompt the user whether or not they would like to
continue.
- If hard fail is present, the commissioning process will stop immediately.
