GETTING INFORMATION ON ACTIVE ANTENNA STA-
TUS
The user can also monitor which beltpacks are connected to which
antennas using the base station’s SYSTEM menu.
When the user selects ANTNS from the SYSTEM menu, the display
shows the status of the active antennas that are connected to the base
station, and shows the slots on each antenna that are occupied by
beltpacks. This information may be useful during a site survey, or when
troubleshooting coverage areas or antenna connections.
A typical display is shown below:
Figure 9-3: ANTNS menu
The numbers 1 through 10 represent the maximum number of
antennas that can be connected to the base station. Numbers 1
through 5 can be positions on a splitter connected to transceiver port 1,
while 6 through 10 can be positions on a splitter connected to
transceiver port 2. An antenna connected directly to transceiver port 2
would appear at position 6.
“__” indicates an empty slot on an acive antenna that is connected to
the base station. A number in place of a “__” indicates that this slot is
occupied by the indicated beltpack.
