Figure 49 - Unit ID tab
Attribute Description
Configure Unit ID Enables or disables the Unit ID configuration phase;
when disabled the Unit ID tab is white and the
remaining attribute controls on this tab are disabled.
Unit ID The Unit ID for the nanoBTS, see discussion below.
Reset BTS After Setting Whether to restart the nanoBTS after setting its Unit ID.
If this is checked, then during automatic configuration
BTS Installer will reset the nanoBTS, will wait for it to
restart, and will wait (if appropriate) for it to repeat its
DHCP transaction before continuing with further
configuration phases.
The Unit ID is used by the nanoBTS to identify its role in the system and to identify
itself to the BSC. The desired Unit ID for each nanoBTS should be determined as part
of the network design; this process is outside the scope of this User Guide.
Note that until a nanoBTS has a Unit ID configured it will not know its role in the
network (whether it is a SITE manager, whether it contains a BTS object, whether it is
a master TRX or a slave TRX) and many of its functions will be unavailable. From the
point of view of BTS Installer, it will not be possible to software activate a nanoBTS
that does not have a Unit ID configured, and hence it will not be possible to perform
Network Listen operations.
