A WRH can be configured locally with OM-Online by connecting a standard serial cable from the COM port on 
the PC to the P31 PC port (RS-232) located to the right in the cabinet as shown in Figure 3-9. The P31 PC 
port is described in Chapter 2. Details on using OM-Online are described in the OM-Online User Manual.

Initial Startup

To complete the inital start-up of the WRH, follow the steps listed in Table 3-3.

Table 3-3  Initial Statup Procedure

Step

Action

1

Turn main power on

2

Check Yellow LED on power supply unit. Steadily lit = functioning correctly

3

Check the four CU PCBA LEDs. Refer to CU PCBA section in Chapter 2 for correct power up 
indications

4

Check the three ALI PCBA LEDs or corresponding LEDs on RCI PCBA. Refer to ALI or RCI PCBA 
section in Chapter 2 for correct power up indications

NOTE

When optimizing WRHs, offset the UL gain 20dB less than the DL gain as a starting point.
Always monitor the UL pass bands for noise levels and/or IMDs when optimizing and 
commissioning.
For CDMA carriers, ensure that the UL pass band is well above the noise floor.
