5.4 Initial Setting Up
Before putting the base station into service, you may want to carry out
some basic functional testing, configuration, and tuning (if required). This
section provides an overview of these procedures:
■
checking that the base station powers up correctly
■
checking the basic functionality of the base station by using the tests
available in the web interface
■
customizing the configuration for the intended installation and
verifying that the configuration is correct
■
changing the root password
■
tuning the base station (if required).
5.4.1 Confirming Operation
Notice Make sure that the RF output is connected to a suitable atten-
uator or dummy load. Do not remove the load while the PA is transmit-
ting as this may damage the PA output stage.
Applying Power
1. Apply power by turning on the PMU.
2. Check that the base station powers up correctly:
■
The front panel display will show “Please wait...” while the base
station starts up (this may take up to two minutes). When the
startup process is complete, the display will show the home
screen.
■
The cooling fans in the front panel will run at full speed for a few
seconds, then run at low speed while the base station starts up,
and then assume standard operation. One or more fans may
operate, depending on the temperature of the modules.
