3.4 iDEN Configuration

Plan to set up the MCSC system according to the base radio (BR) parameters

specified in the site datafill for the site, including 800E MHz, sectorization, enclosure,

position and Quad. Corresponding parameters will be set using the System Manager

iDEN Configuration page during system set up (refer to Section 5.2 (System Setup)).

For more information about site datafill parameter settings, refer to the iDEN OMC-R

Configuration Management Parameters Technical Manual, 68P80802E10.

3.4.1 Cabinet and Position Settings

Before bringing up the system, configure the cabinet and position settings to

match the datafill BR settings. For more information, refer to section 5.2 (System

Setup).

3.4.2 BRs

The MCSC system supports EBRC configurations. An MCRB can be assigned

multiple EBRCs or a Quad or partial Quad.

The MCSC system also supports EBRCs configured with adjacent channels.

Instead of configuring a quad BR in the datafill, configure EBRCs using adjacent

channels (each adjacent BR is assigned a separate cabinet/position).

3.4.3 Sectorization

In an omni (single-sector) configuration, all RadioBlade transceivers are assigned

to the same sector (Group A). In a 2- or 3-sector configuration, each group (A, B,

or C) may be assigned to a different sector. All RadioBlade transceivers within the

group must be assigned to the same sector—multiple groups can be assigned to

the same sector, but multiple sectors cannot be assigned within the same group.

3.5 Site Inspection

Following all construction work, both exterior and interior, the site and facility shall be

in a suitable condition for the installation of communications equipment.

• Grounding

Consideration should be exercised when laying out a site to allow primarily for all

code requirements for spacing, and then the most efficient use of space. Special

attention shall be given to future expansion with regard to cable runway heights,

electrical outlet placement, and equipment placement.
