Chapter overview
This chapter describes how to configure base stations. It describes:
• How to configure base stations before you deploy them.
• How to configure base stations after you have deployed them, for example, to
maintain the system and optimize system performance
Before you begin
To configure base stations before you deploy them on towers or buildings, you
must first supply power to the base station, and connect the base station to a PC or
laptop using the serial cable/serial connection. To perform these tasks:
1 Plug one end of the base station-to-TVS cable into the base station. Plug the
other end into the TVS module. Then, plug the TVS module into a power
source.
2 Use the serial interface cable to connect your management station to the base
station to enable communication between the devices.
3 On your computer, start a terminal emulation or Telnet session with the base
station you want to configure.
4 Configure the base station using the parameters described in the section
“Setting base station configuration parameters” on page 2-9 in this guide.
