CENTRAL TERMINAL CONFIGURATION
1. Quick Guide To System Configuration
When the CT equipment rack, the antenna/feeder and Sitespan have been installed and
commissioned configuration of the Central Terminal can be carried out in order to
connect the central office to the subscribers.
This is a quick guide to system configuration see Sitespan 605-0000-427 for detailed
instructions.
The Sitespan controller allows the operator to set up and amend resource
configurations in terms of:
• Field Replaceable Units (FRU’S)
• Channel assignment
Each card (or FRU) that electronically holds its serial number automatically reports it
to the Sitespan on power up. This serial number is a unique identifier of the resource
in question and cannot be changed after manufacture. Whenever an FRU is replaced,
the controller of the FRU identifies the event and reports the serial number of the new
FRU to Sitespan.
Before an AS4000 Central Terminal (ACT) will transmit, it must be configured with
the appropriate communication channel details. The ACT is configured from Sitespan
