RECOMMENDATION:
Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with BHs, APs, and
CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown
or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional
cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and
reduced costs for troubleshooting and support.
PDA Access to Modules
For RF spectrum analysis or module aiming on a roof or tower, a personal digital assistant (PDA) is easier
to carry than, and as convenient to use as, a notebook computer. The PDA is convenient to use because no
scrolling is required to view
• spectrum analysis results.
• RSSI and jitter.
• master module evaluation data.
• information that identifies the module, software, and firmware.
To access this data in a format the fits a 320 x 240 pixel PDA screen, the PDA must have all of the
following:
• a Compact Flash card slot.
• any of several Compact Flash wired Ethernet cards.
• a wired Ethernet connection to the module.
• a browser directed to http://ModuleIPAddress/pda.html
