5.4 Initial Setting Up
Before putting the base station into service, you may want to car ry out some
basic functional testing, configuration, and tuning (if required). This section
provides an overview of these procedures:
checking that the base station powers up correctly
checking the basic functionality of the base station by using the tests
available in the web interface
customizing the configuration for the intended installation and verifying
that the configuration is correct
changing the root password (if needed - TBD)
tuning the base station (if required).
5.4.1 Confirming Operation
Important Make sure that the RF output is connected to a suitable
attenuator or dummy load. Do not remove the load while
the PA is transmitting as this may damage the PA output
stage.
Applying Power 1. Apply power by turning on the PMU.
2. Check that the base station powers up correctly:
The front panel display will show “Please wait” while the base
station starts up (this may take up to two minutes). When the
startup process is complete, the display will show the idle screen.
The cooling fans in the front panel will run at full speed for a few
seconds, then run at low speed while the base station starts up, and
then assume standard operation. One or more fans may operate,
depending on the temperature of the modules.
