In a new hub installation, the units at the hub must all be masters, and the
corresponding remote units must be slaves. At a hub, set up each individual link
first as a point-to-point link and then align each link separately with all the
other AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount units turned off. After all the link pairs
have been configured and aligned as point-to-point links, you can then change
configurations for hub operation.
In a new repeater installation, treat each link segment as a point-to-point link,
progressing from the near-end to the far-end sites. After all the link pairs have
been configured and aligned as point-to-point links, you can change
configuration for repeater operation.
For more information about applications and burst synchronization, refer to
“Application Examples” in Chapter 3, Configuration.
No radio link exists until the AirLink Pro T1 pairs have been configured and
aligned, all system configuration must be done individually at each unit. After
a radio link is established between the units of an AirLink Pro T1 pair, the
remote unit can be configured from the local site across the radio link.
To configure one end of the link as a slave:
1. Connect a terminal to the Terminal port on the slave AirLink Pro T1/E1
Rack Mount or to the Terminal port on the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount
attached to the slave unit.
The terminal must be set up to operate according to the attributes described
in “ Connecting a Terminal,” in this chapter.
2. Type the following command at the prompt:
AIRLINK PRO T1/E1> set application 6
The text you type is in boldfaced type; enter the spaces as shown.
3. To verify the configuration change, type the following command at the
prompt:
AIRLINK PRO T1/E1> get configuration
The terminal displays the configuration of the unit, similar to the
following:
AIRLINK PRO T1/E1> Get Configuration
