Replacing a CBS
Use this procedure to replace a malfunctioning CBS with another one.
1. Obtain the CBS Timeslots for the CBS being replaced. Look in the
dncbsstatus.out file for the site or get them from the Site
Installation documents. This information is needed in Step 9 below
to prevent coverage problems.
2. Stop the RealPrice System software.
3. Power off all CBSs in the system.
4. Disconnect antennas, power cable, and Ethernet cable(s) and
remove the malfunctioning CBS.
5. Install the new CBS and reconnect the cables.
Note: If a 3.2 CBS is to be replaced with a 3.4 CBS, all of the power
cables must be disconnected from the 8-pin connector and reconnected
to the new 10-pin connector. The 3.4 CBS is backwards compatible.
Caution: The 3.2 CBS is not compatible with a 3.4 Power Supply.
Doing so will destroy the CBS.
6. Power up all CBSs in the system.
7. Set the IP address for the new CBS.
• If using static IP addressing – use the Setup CBS option in
RealPrice Support Utility to assign the IP address to the CBS
(MAC address)
