RECOMMENDATION:
Use shielded cable for all Cyclone infrastructure connections associated with
BHs, APs, and CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has
significant unknown or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently
indicates that the additional cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by
predictable operation and reduced costs for troubleshooting and support.
19.1 PDAACCESSTOCYCLONEMODULES
For RF spectrum analysis or module aiming on a roof or tower, a personal digital
assistant (PDA) is easier to carry than, and as convenient to use as, a notebook
computer. The PDA is convenient to use because no scrolling is required to view
• spectrum analysis results.
• RSSI and jitter.
• master module evaluation data.
• information that identifies the module, software, and firmware.
To access this data in a format the fits a 320 x 240 pixel PDA screen, the PDA must have
all of the following:
• a Compact Flash card slot.
• any of several Compact Flash wired Ethernet cards.
• a wired Ethernet connection to the module.
• a browser directed to http://ModuleIPAddress/pda.html.
The initial PDA tab reports link status, as shown in Figure 115.
