GTR 8000 Base Radio Configuration
Proper software/hardware configuration for the GTR 8000 Base Radios and subsystems require the following
activities:
• Updating factory-installed base radio application software
• Setting parameters in a configuration file stored on the GTR 8000 Base Radio that impacts both base radio
and RF Distribution System (RFDS) functionality.
This chapter details configuration procedures relating to the base radio.
4.1 Configuration Software
Configuring a device requires two software applications to be loaded on the service PC: Configuration/Service
Software (CSS) and Unified Network Configurator (UNC).
•
CSS
is used to configure the parameters on the device. CSS can access devices remotely over the network, or
locally through an Ethernet/serial connection to the service port on the device or through a LAN switch. CSS
also can be used to view status information, equalize batteries, and check internal logs of the equipment at
the site. See the
CSS Online Help
for configuration details.
•
UNC Wizard
is a component of UNC and is used to configure the parameters of a site, subsite, and channel.
See the
UNC Wizard Online Help
for configuration details.
•
VoyenceControl
is a component of UNC and can be used to pull and push configurations and configure
the parameters of the device. See the
Unified Network Configurator
manual for general information about
using VoyenceControl functions.
While it is possible to configure a conventional device using UNC, it is preferable to use CSS since
configuration dependencies are enforced.
All parameters are programmed locally when the site is installed but not linked to a network. All parameters
should be tested prior to making the site available. The ability to program locally provides the means to test the
site prior to making it available for system operation.
4.2 Discovering Devices in the UNC
When and where to use:
These are high-level steps to discover the devices in the UNC. See the
Unified Network Configurator
manual for
details on discovering devices.
