Chapter 5. Commissioning the Base Station
Figure 5-7 Port selection
Choosing Auto-select implies that the link of the port is detected and selected.
If data and dhcp is desired on Fast Ethernet, then select option number 3 or 4.
NOTE: If the users want the EMS Server and the data port to be connected to the
same switch, Aperto Networks recommends not use the Management port for dhcp/
tftp provisioning.
5.7 Provisioning the Base Station with WaveCenter
EMS
Step 5. Use EMS to generate and provision config files for MSC, WSC and SS.
Please Refer to the WaveCenter EMS User Manual for further details on provisioning
in EMS and generating config files.
NOTE: Auto-Provisioning feature is now available through WaveCenter Element
Management System (EMS). Hence, the Subscriber Unit can be configured using the
Auto-Provisioning feature in WaveCenter EMS. Please refer to Chapter 4 of the
WaveCenter EMS User Manual for instructions on using the Auto-provisioning fea-
ture.
Step 6. Configure using EMS Server Configuration tool and generate base sta-
tion configuration file in EMS.
A. EMS server is required to configure and manage the Base Station.
In the EMS Server Configuration tool, check if the Primary & Standby BE
server IP addresses are specified in EMS IPs page. Click on Update Setting
once the Primary and Secondary server IP addresses are entered.
Check IP address under cookies server on the ADHCP page. ADHCP option
in Sever Configuration tool allows users to de-select the use of the Aperto
DHCP server i.e. the user is given the option to use their own DHCP server.
NOTE: If users de-select using the APERTO DHCP server, it is their respon-
sibility to set up their proprietary DHCP server correctly to work with Aperto
devices in server mode.
