guration and Basic Service Manual Site Controller Setup
Site Controller Setup
If an MTS or Site Controller is moved, it is important to clear the site location
memory to force the stored position data to be re-initialized.
To clear the site location enter the following command on the Site Controller
terminal whilst the MTS is running in application mode:
site_location -reset
Then restart the Site Controller to allow calculation of it’s new
location to commence (site survey)
Procedure 6-1 Site Controller Setup
1
Switch the Power Supply Unit ON.
2
Start-up the service terminal.
3
There will be a series of self-tests. By default, after a few seconds, the Site Controller will
launch the Site Controller Application. Other modes are described in
"MMI Commands and
MTS Modes of Operation" .
4
At the prompt, enter
status sc –all
. The command displays preliminary diagnostics information
on the Site Controller. This includes the health of the Site Controller, the trunking state, the
internal state and the site link status.
If all details for the status is needed, use the
Status bts –l
command.
5
If any device drivers are reported as “failed to initialize”, then this indicates a problem with that
peripheral. However, successful initialization of a device does not guarantee that it is fully
functional; further tests are necessary to ensure this. The above tests are carried out upon
power-up or reset. The command simply reports the last status of the test. To actually re-run the
tests, it is necessary to reset the Site Controller. Further Site Controller commands are available
as described in the Booklet “MTS Interface Commands”. These may also be listed by typing
help
at the prompt.
This procedure may be halted and restarted at any time by pressing the RESET push
button for at least 2 seconds on the Site Controller front panel.
For Site controller indicators refer to Chapter 8, "Site Controller" .
