5.3 Software Setup
Refer to chapter 6, for setting up the following:
• Payload interface.
• Service Channel (Wayside) serial port.
• Auxiliary in/out port.
• General link parameters.
5.4 Functional Test
After completing the physical installation of the Digital Indoor Units, antennas, RF
Units and the interconnection cables, you need to commission the system. This
procedure describes how to set up the minimum requirements for successful MDR /
Orion system operation.
5.4.1 Link Bit Error Rate Performance Test
To start : when the link is setup correctly, the RF Link LEDs on both DIUs on both
sides of the RF link should be GREEN.
When the link has been setup and is running error-free:
1. Clear the Digital Indoor Unit Log using Reset Button Position ‘2’
2. Clear the Digital Indoor Unit Errors using Reset Button Position ‘1’
Perform a link bit error rate performance test as follows:
• Connect a bit error rate tester to the payload interface of the link.
• Run data over the link for a period of 24 hours.
• Record the BER.
• Record the LED statuses.
Check the Digital Indoor Unit Packet Error Results via the NMS or via SNMP access to
the Digital Indoor Unit MIB – for the NMS, right-click on the antennas in the NMS for
either side of the link and select the “Diagnostic/Error Monitor” option. Record the
results by saving the data to a file. For SNMP access, use a MIB Browser and check
the mdrmteRFLinkPerf and mdrmteG826 Performance groups.
Record all results on a test record. See MDR / Orion Test Record, section 5.6 for an
example.
