Upon power-up, MA-860 automatically performs WCE, WiFi Coverage Expander auto-discovery.
It is recommended to locally connect to the unit using a computer running the telnet session to
configure the local configuration options defined below. Following the initial setup and
configuration MobileAccess recommends that the administrator verifies that all connected
antennas are detected via the Web GUI or Engineering GUI, to perform the adjustment
procedures and to verify that the unit is operating properly.
MA860 is by default configured with a
static IP address. (It may also be configured for DHCP).
Once the MA860 IP address is defined and it is connected to the network, it can be remotely
managed via a Web access connection.
This section provides the following information:
• Unit power-up and procedures performed by the unit upon power-up
• Opening a session from the MA-860 Engineering Tool application
• Verifying all antennas are connected
• Performing adjustment procedures
5.1 Power-up and WCE Auto-discovery
To power-up the unit
Connect the power to the PWR connector located on the MA-860 as defined in Section 4.7.
Unit initialization and WCE auto-discovery
Upon power-up, the unit performs discovery of the WCE units during which time the RUN LED
(located on the front panel) is constant GREEN.
This will take between one to two minutes.
If you have connected the 860 WLAN Module via the Web GUI or Engineering UI before the
auto-discovery process was completed, the dialog will show Auto-discovery in process.
After the initial discovery procedure has been completed, the RUN LED continuously flickers
green indicating
normal operation.
Note: Configuration changes corresponding to the addition or removal of WCE units can be
remotely performed at any time via the Web GUI to access the unit.
