Set Up a Multicell System on a Secondary Base Station
After you set up your primary base station for multicell, you add one or more base stations with this procedure.
All the base stations in the multicell configuration use the same System chain ID.
When the secondary base station has multicell enabled and reboots, the primary base station automatically
starts the process of synchronizing the data.
If you changed the administration password on the primary base station before you started the multicell
configuration, the password automatically changes on the secondary base station during the synchronization
phase.
