later versions of nanoBTS software shut down more quickly then this delay
could be reduced to speed up operation.
After performing an operation in which BTS Installer resets the nanoBTS and
then has to reconnect to it, it attempts reconnection the number of times
specified by Reconnect retries, and gives up on each connection attempt after
the time specified by Connecting to the BTS. These numbers are reasonable
for current versions of nanoBTS software, but if later versions take longer to
restart after being reset then one or both of these numbers may need to be
increased.
For an explanation of the SSL options see section 6.10.
6.5.2 DHCP Server section
This section of the user interface, shown in Figure 31, allows you to control BTS
Installer’s built-in DHCP server, and contains a scrolling log of DHCP server activity.
For a more detailed description of what the DHCP server is, how it works, and how to
use it, see section 6.6.
The DHCP
server provides IP address information and some basic configuration
information to the nanoBTS.

6.5.2.1 Starting and stopping
The DHCP server can be started with the Start button and stopped with the Stop
button. When BTS Installer is started in direct connection mode the DHCP server is
running by default; when BTS Installer is started in proxy mode the DHCP server is
stopped by default.
6.5.2.2 The IP address pool
The DHCP server can have a pool of IP addresses that it will hand out to nanoBTSs
that request IP addresses. See section 6.6.3 for information about how this works,
when the IP address poo
l is used and whether you need to create an IP address pool.
The Pool button will display the IP address pool as shown in Figure 32. There is a row
for each IP
address in the pool, with a colour code (and symbol) indicating the status
of each address as follows:
