Setup and Test
System Testing
This section sets up the parameters for the system and the connection to Netspan
Refer to the Netspan, document no. 605-0000-509 for the detailed configuration and set
up procedures of Netspan and the AS4020 System.
General
The following procedures need to be carried out in order to verify the functionality and
operation of all cards fitted into the Central Terminal prior to placing the AS4000/4020
system into service.
It is preferable to connect the As4000/AS4020 to a ISP when commissioning. This allows
the CT to be connected and test calls made over the system during the commissioning
process.
If during testing, a fault occurs preventing the continuation of the test, the faulty module or
card should be replaced and the test repeated for the new card module and any other
tests that are affected by the performance of that card.
All results must be entered on the Commissioning Test Result Sheets (Copies are
included in this manual and should be printed as required). Test forms should be
photocopied as needed, ensure that sufficient copies of all sheets are available prior to
the commencement of commissioning tests.
There are two activities required; a) the network management centre should create the
sites and equipment in the database (frequency and PN ),using Netspan b) the field
engineer should commission the equipment to the recommended parameters (output
power and system receiver sensitivity).
Pre-Commissioning at the Network Management Centre
For a completely new installation, the NMC administrator should create the sites and
equipment racks in each site ( with the frequency, PN etc entered, in preparation of the
actual equipment installation and commissioning. When expanding the system with
additional CT sites, the administrator should add the extra CT equipment using Netspan.
During field commissioning, the field engineer will use a local laptop running copy of
STMON to control the test ST.
