13 Multi-cell Setup & Management

This chapter seeks to describe how to install, add and synchronize one or multiple base stations to the

network. There are two main procedures involved:

1) Proper placement of the base stations (which is called network dimensioning). The present chapter

does not address this issue. Refer to Chapter 4 for details.

2) Creating and adding base station profiles to the network via the SME Configuration Tool (to form a

multi-cell system).

This chapter describes the second procedure.

This chapter is valid for Base station firmware version 00.49 and above.

13.1 SME Configuration Interface

RTX have offered HTTP interface in base station firmware that can be used as HTTP Web Server. The SME

Configuration Interface can be retrieved from this HTTP Web Server in each Base station.

The HTTP Web Server is enabled in the base station by default.

This procedure is valid for Base station firmware version 00.34 and above. The system

administrator must update the relevant Base station(s) to the latest firmware before

proceeding to the next section. Refer to Chapter 10.

13.2 Adding Base stations via SME Configuration Interface

Here are the recommended steps to add Base stations to network:

STEP 1 Connect the Base station to a private network via standard Ethernet cable (CAT-5).

STEP 2 Open any standard browser and enter the address:

http://ipdect<MAC-Address-Base-Station>

e.g. http://ipdect00087B00AA10. This will retrieve the HTTP Web Server page from the base

station with hardware address 00087B00AA10.
