9 Frequency Setting Procedures
9.1 BSM Management
The AW-96 series base stations are normally managed by the centrally located BSM
(Base Station Manager) system which communicates with the AW-96 over an IP
connection.
The BSM will download system software and configuration information which includes the
physical FA (Frequency Assignment) for each base station. The base station will tune to
the correct frequency as defined by the BSM configuration files.
Refer to the BSM operations manual for instructions on base station remote configuration.
9.2 Local FA Setting
It may required to set the AW-96 series base station physical FA (frequency assignment)
locally for specialized test purposes or when the BSM connection is unavailable (for
example during early BTS installations). This can be done using the local MMI (Man
Machine Interface) port and a local PC.
The configuration data downloaded from the BSM will override local settings when BSM
connections are established.
Refer to the MMI instruction manual for further information on other commands.
9.2.1 MMI Connection
Connect the serial port of the PC to the “BTS MMI” port on the AW-96 front panel. Use
the cable described in section 8.3.1 and the following port settings:
9600 baud
8 bit
No Parity
1 stop bit
No flow control
