differentiate a single Base Station from the group of Base Stations that are
operated within your network. The most important unique parameters are
listed in Table 8-8.

Managing Configuration
Consistency
The most convenient way to manage the configuration of a large number of
Base Stations is to configure the first Base Station and save its configuration to
file. Use this file as a template that you can upload to the other Base Stations.
After loading the template file on each Base Station, you will modify the
parameters identified as the unique parameters, to differentiate the Base
Station from the other Base Stations in this network.
In other words, the easiest way to manage a large number of Base Stations is as
follows:
