3 Quick Start Guide
This section describes how an Operator may power-up the PureWave Base Station and verify proper
system initialization and configuration. There are two methods by which a PureWave Quantum Base
Station may be configured and/or managed. This can be achieved via either a graphical user interface
(GUI) Web Interface or a command line interface (CLI).
Each interface has the capability of configuring all parameters available in the Base Station. It is
generally recommended to configure using the CLI for the first initial configuration of the Base Station or
in the event that the Base Station management interface parameters are not known. PureWave
thereafter recommends using the Web Interface for all configuration parameters.
Note that the Web Interface and the CLI utilize the same terminology, parameter names, etc.
3.1 Preparing and Powering Up the Base Station
Before powering on the Base Station it is critical that all of its connector panel ports be
properly connected or terminated per the detailed instructions in the PureWave Quantum
6600 Installation Guide. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Base station.
The procedures in this section assume the following connections have been to the Base Station:
Antenna's have be connected to each Base Station ANT (ANT 1 through ANT 6) ports.
A GPS antenna is properly installed and attached to the Base Station GPS port.
The ETH-1 port is connected to an accessible network via a router or other mechanism.
An appropriate cable has been connected to the Console port. To connect to the Console port,
the User will need the following hardware that is provided with the Base Station installation kit.
These are as follows:
 RJ45 cable.
 DB9 male connector (Network Adapter).
 DB9 female to DB9 female adapter.
The adaptor should be connected to a “straight-through” serial cable. Do not use a Cisco
“rollover” cable or a null modem serial cable as these are not supported. Please see the
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide for more details.
Optional: Serial to USB connector. Most laptop nowadays comes with USB connection instead of
serial connection. If the PC/laptop has a DB9 serial connection then there is no requirement for
a USB adapter. If not, then you will need to get serial to USB adapter to access the Base Station
CLI. Plug one end of a “straight” Cat 5 Ethernet cable into the Base Station Console port and the
