Configuring the SkyWay as a Sub Station
Configure the sub station in much the same way as you set up the base station. Config-
uration is simpler, however, because you do not have as many configuration parame-
ters to set up.
1.
Configure the RF Transceiver settings: RF Frequency, RF Data Rate, and Scrambler
Tap Values. Make sure these settings correspond to the base station settings for
these fields.
a. Go to screen 1.2.3.3 RF Transceiver Configuration, described in detail on
page 72.
b. Set the RF Frequency, RF Data Rate, and Scrambler Tap values.
c. Press
.W
to update the database.
2.
Invalidate the RF Diagnostics Sub Port. As shipped, the default RF port is set to the
RF diagnostics sub port. You must invalidate it before setting the RF port up as a
base port.
a. Go to 1.2.3.2 RF Diagnostic Port Configuration, described in detail on
page 73. The port number is 3 , and the default port type is Sub Diag .
b. Set the Record Type field to Invalid to remove this configuration record
from the database.
c. Type
.W
to update the database.
3.
Configure the RF port as a sub port.
a. Go to “1.2.3.1.2 RF Sub Port Configuration” on page 78.
b. Press
.A
. This automatically adds port 3 as a sub port and allows you to
begin editing the screen.
c. Leave Max Buffers, Transmit and Receive Buffers at the default settings.
d. Set the Sub-Station Number. This is the base sub port address; for exam-
ple, 256. If ADP is enabled, you do not need to enter a sub-station num-
ber. If ADP is disabled, you must enter a station number. It is the next
available RF Base Sub Port number determined during network setup.
e. Set RF data rate to the same value as the base station.
f. Set Link Down Timeout Interval (only if ADP is enabled). This timer speci-
fies the amount of time in milliseconds the sub station can be inactive
before going into ADP mode.
g. Type
.W
to update the database.
4.
Set up a unique IP address for the RF Port.
a. Go to screen 1.4.2 IP Port Configuration, described in detail on page 95.
b. For Port # 3 (the RF port), enter the IP Address and the IP Mask.
c. Type
.W
to update the database.
5.
Reset or cycle the port as described in step 5 of “Configuring the SkyWay as a Base
Station” on page 69.
