Overview
This section describes the intended use of this document and introduces
the service utilities used for remote unit installation and maintenance.
A remote unit is the subscriber termination equipment for the BeamPlex
broadband wireless access system. It communicates with its associated
base station through an RF signal path; and it communicates with the
subscriber’s computer through an Ethernet cable.
The service utilities are used to set configuration parameters, initiate the
phases of service activation, and monitor the status of a remote unit.
Scope and Purpose
The service utilities are applicable for professional installation and
diagnosis of both the BRU-150 and BRU-100 models of remote unit, which
are described below. Both models are designed with the same electronics so
the service utilities will work with either one of them.
Caution
: Read the section
BRU-150 Self-Install Remote Unit
about required configuration before delivery to the subscriber.
This document is primarily for technicians who perform a manual BRU-
150 installation. The BRU-150 is designed for subscriber self-installation.
If the subscriber encounters problems during or after self-installation,
technicians will use these service utilities to resolve the problems.
For system release 1.1, the existing installation manuals listed in the
section
on page 9 accurately describe the physical
installation process. However, the BRU-100 documents describe the use of
the RIT (Remote Unit Installation Tool) which has now been replaced by
the service utilities described here. Installers should use this document for
configuring the BRU-100 until the installation manuals have been revised.
