9.6 Adding or Removing RadioBlade Transceivers

The MCSC system supports hot swapping of RadioBlade transceivers. This means

that replacement of a RadioBlade transceiver can be done while the system is live

and does not require a system reset. When RadioBlade transceivers are hot

swapped no alarm is generated. Rather, a RadioBlade transceiver lock and unlock

event is placed in the System Manager Event log.

Each RadioBlade transceiver is shipped wrapped in antistatic packaging, along with

a lock-down strap and screw for securing the RadioBlade transceiver in the

RadioBlade Shelf (DRBS).

Follow the procedure in Section 9.7 (RadioBlade Transceiver Replacement) to add or

remove a RadioBlade transceiver.
