3.5.3 Base Station Configuration Parameters
There are several key parameters that must be configured, as a minimum, prior to deployment and
operation of the Base Station. Table 11 is a list of these parameters. In addition to these key
parameters, there are several other parameters that can be configured on the Base Station. Such
parameters can be left in their default configuration for "nominal" Base Station operation but there is
the option to change based upon specific operating conditions. All parameters will be described in the
following sections.
One point to make, is that in the context of the Mercury Quantum 6600, as this is a single sector Base
Station, the terms “Sector” and “Base Station” are effectively synonymous. This fact is represented
within the Web GUI Interface using the number 1 at the appropriate menu option. The number 1
stands for Sector 1.
