6.3 Summary of Procedure – Creating a Chain
We enumerate the short version of how to add 3 base stations units in a multi-cell setup. This can be
applied for up to 40 base units.
This procedure is divided into four (4) main stages. Apply this procedure if all base units are straight from
production.
6.3.1 Stage 1
Skip this stage if relevant base stations are already in the network.
a) Add 3 base stations i.e. RFP1, RFP2, RFP3 > Disable the “Multi cell system” option and “Save”
b) RFP1, RFP2, RFP3: Reboot from the HTTP EXP1240 Configuration Main Page
c) RFP1, RFP2, and RFP3: Default by pressing reset button 12-sec.
6.3.2 Stage 2
Choosing 1
st
base unit i.e. RFP1 as Primary
a) RFP1: Define Time server and “Save and reboot” from the Time page
b) RFP1: Reboot automatically
c) RFP1: Press “Add server” and define SIP server IP and “Save” from the Servers page
d) RFP1: Multi cell system = enable and “Save” from the Multi-cell page
e) RFP1: Reboot (Verify from Debug log “SYNCMGR: This base is ready to be Primary in a Chain”)
6.3.3 Stage 3
Choose another base unit, RFP2 as Secondary
a) RFP2: Multi cell system = enable and “Save”
b) RFP2: Reboot (Verify from Debug log “SYNCMGR: This base is ready to join into another Chain”)
c) RFP1, RFP2: Wait 2min for stable Primary-Secondary chain (check for the message: SYNCMGR:
Socket#10 creation success)
6.3.4 Stage 4
Choose the 3
rd
base unit, RFP3 as Secondary
d) RFP3: Multi cell system = enable and “Save”
e) RFP3: Reboot (Verify Debug log “SYNCMGR: This base is ready to join into another Chain”)
f) RFP1, RFP3: Wait 2min for stable Master-Slave chain (SYNCMGR: Socket#10 creation success)
g) RFP3: Check mark ID2/RPN08 and select dropdown “1 – RPN: 04” and “Save”
h) RFP3: Reboot (SYNCMGR: Socket#8 creation success)
Multi-cell chain of 3 base stations has been created successfully. Next step involves adding extensions to
the system.
