Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM-1000)
Check PDP Sector Configuration
The PDP sector configuration switch, located inside the PDP, configures the circuit breakers to
support a specific number of radio sectors (1–6). In a base station supporting fewer than six sectors,
some of the circuit breakers are not used and are therefore left in the OFF (down) position. The
OAMP software uses the switch to determine if a circuit breaker has tripped or is not used.
The switch is set at the factory and does not normally need to be adjusted.
 To check the PDP sector configuration
1 Consult your field engineering package to determine the number of sectors your base station is intended
to support.
2 If necessary, remove the PDP rear cover. The rear cover attaches to the PDP using four #1 Phillips
screws.
3 Ensure that the PDP sector switch is set to the number of sectors that your base station is intended to
support.
If the switch is not set correctly, set the switch to the correct value:
i Turn screw counter-clockwise as far as possible to find sector 1 position.
ii Turn screw clockwise so that slot points to correct number of sectors.
Figure 4.3 shows the location of the PDP sector switch.
