3.7.7 Configure Carrier Setting
Reference:
Carrier Aggregation & Dual Carrier (Split Mode) Configuration Guide
The
Carrier Setting
menu is used only in the two-carrier Nova430e eNB (Figure 3-24). You can set
the eNB to run as a single carrier, as two combined carriers using Carrier Aggregation (CA), or as
two independent carriers using Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode, depending on which licenses you
have purchased. Single carrier (no CA) means only Cell 1 will operate and use only two RF ports
instead of four. Operators may need to use this mode if they have limited spectrum or are
planning to change to CA or DC mode at a later time when more capacity is needed for the
coverage area. Go to
BTS Setting > Carrier Setting
to configure
Carrier Mode
. Click the arrow to
view the drop- down menu.
Whenever you change the carrier setting, you must
reboot
the eNB for the change to take effect.

rebooting in the eNB GUI. From the landing page of the eNB GUI, navigate to
System > Reboot
, or

Reboot
under the
Welcome
banner (Figure 3-25).
