5-36 Configuring, Installing, and Using Carrier Infrastructure
For more information about these configuration parameters, as well as a full list of
configuration parameters, refer to the guide “Using the NextNet Operating System.”
2 After setting the parameters, use the write command to write the settings into the flash,
non-volatile memory.
3 For changes to take effect, perform one of the following:
• Re-boot the base station
—OR—
• Power down the base station, and then re-power it.
set airlink channel
Set this configuration parameter to the frequency channel on which to run the airlink. For an
illustration of the channels that are supported in the various frequency ranges, refer to
Appendix B.
Example: set airlink channel 15
This parameter has changed to radio frequency, has it not?
set airlink downlink power
This parameter specifies the base station’s transmit power level.
The power levels you can specify depend on the type of base station you are using: a 2 watt
base station, or a 5 watt base station.
2 watt base station
Specify a power value from 10 to 31.
The maximum system power level is 10, which specifies +33 dBm (2 watts). The other power
levels are measured in 1 dB steps down from the maximum.
Example:
set airlink downlink power 10
Table 5.1 Transmit power levels
Power value Power level
10 +33 dBm = 2.0 watts

13 +30 dBm = 1.0 watt

.
16 +27 dBm = 500 milliwatts

23 +20 dBm = 100 milliwatts
