System Commissioning
Pre-requisites
 Establish Ethernet connection between the BGW and all cards
 Power up all equipment
 Ensure IP addresses have been assigned
Cards will briefly flash green. Solid green indicates waiting for IP assignment
 Verify remote unit fibers are connected to correct FOI ports
 Set names for all components and add components to the system - See "Naming Components" on
page 94 .
 Connect BTS to the BIU ensuring proper attenuation for the BIU card being used
Commissioning Process
1. Once the fiber is connected and verified, turn FOI RF power on.
Connect only one fiber port at a time and complete naming of remote. Otherwise, a second person will be
needed at the remotes to identify the remote when “Locate Me” is enabled. This can be eliminated with good
project management and labeling during the installation process.

Only enable the optical ports that are being used. Otherwise, the system will alarm with low optical levels on
the unused ports.
