Post-Installation Activities
After the installation of the NPM is complete, the following steps may be
required in order to make the NPM fully functional:
 Upgrade the NPM software – Amosphere NPM software is typically
pre-installed at the factory. It may be necessary to upgrade the software
to achieve full functionality. See the Amosphere OAMP Guide for
information about installing new software loads.
 Commission the NPM in the OAMP software – The NPM must be
added to the Amosphere network in the Configuration Management
(CM) tool. Adding the NPM involves configuring the new NPM subnet
as well as setting the NPM operating parameters. See the Amosphere
OAMP Guide for information about using the CM tool to add an NPM.
 Configure and optimize RF settings – To permanently enable the
SOMA Air Interface, you must configure the RF settings in the CM
tool. With the CM tool, you can enable the antennas, select the
broadcast frequency, and optimize the output power. See the Amosphere
OAMP Guide for information.
For testing purposes during initial deployment, you can use the radio
sector controller’s
ifcrd_cfg command to quickly configure and enable
the SAI. Changes made with
ifcrd_cfg are temporary and are lost if the
radio sector controller is rebooted or powered off. See the Amosphere
Maintenance Procedures for more information.
