CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

A. Removal of RadioBlade Transceiver

When a RadioBlade transceiver is physically removed, an event is generated

in the System Manager Event Log notifying the user about the RadioBlade

transceiver removal. The RadioBlade controller will then de-register the

RadioBlade transceiver from the BR(s), which will result in locking the BR(s).

A RadioBlade transceiver Insert event is generated when the RadioBlade

transceiver is inserted into the system.

B. Administrative Locking of a RadioBlade Transceiver

By definition, administrative locking of a RadioBlade transceiver is in effect if

the RadioBlade transceiver lock icon on the RadioBlade Transceiver Status

page is changed to “locked”.

The Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver is treated as a unit (single RBID)

with respect to administrative locking.

The following rules apply to locking a RadioBlade transceiver.

• The BR(s) associated with the administratively locked RadioBlade

transceiver will go into a Disabled state. Only that RadioBlade

transceiver will lock, and its icon will change to “locked”.

• If an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver is replaced, the new

RadioBlade transceiver will be considered unlocked upon insertion.

(Administrative locking applies to a particular RadioBlade transceiver and

not to a particular DRBS Slot).

• Upon unlocking an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver, the

BR that was previously disabled due to the locked state will go into the

enabled state.

The lock policy will be preserved through a system reset. Locking of the

RadioBlade transceiver will also be preserved through a system reset. Locking

of RadioBlade transceivers in the disabled state will not be preserved through a

system reset. However, after a system reset, those blades that were originally

in the disabled state due to the effects of a) the locked RadioBlade transceiver

and b) the locking policy will likely return to the disabled state.

The RadioBlade Control page of System Manager has a “Lock All / Unlock All”

feature. Refer to Figure 5.2. With an MCRB, locking the top padlock as shown

on the RadioBlade Control page will lock all carriers for that MCRB while

selecting the padlock on the individual carrier will lock only that carrier.
