Power-up and Provisioning the Unit
To manually adjust the gain
1. The window is divided areas corresponding to each channel. Four control buttons are
available:
• Full Discovery – performs complete discovery of the antennas
• Partial Discovery – performs discovery on new or undiscovered elements
• Reset – sets adjustment values to the factory default levels
• Apply – downloads configuration and adjustment values to the MA860 unit
Figure 5-3. Gain Setting Options
NOTE: The Full Discovery button checks for each and every antenna. During Full
Discovery, the unit DOES NOT transmit or receive data. To discover changes from the last
Discovery, click the Partial Discovery button. Partial Discovery does not affect the unit
output.
2. In the DC field of each channel to which an antenna is connected, verify
that the DC parameter is ON. (This field is enabled by default).
Note: If OFF is displayed, it indicates that 1) absence of WCE was detected by the system or 2)
that no power is being delivered over the coax.
3. Perform 802.11a cable adjustments as follows:
• Statically configure the AP for maximum output power for 802.11a/bg.
• Click the corresponding Adj a button. Verify that the AP PWR and Ant PWR values of the
corresponding channel are equivalent.
• Repeat for each link (i.e. four times).
• For each channel, verify that AP1..4 Pwr is equal to Ant1..4 Pwr.
