CONFIGURATION, OPERATION AND ALIGNMENT
9.1 CONFIGURATION
The Unified Administration System (UAS) manages all Client activities. UAS activities include system
configuration such as access permissions, Quality of Service connectivity, etc. UAS activities also
include hardware configuration such as channel assignment and power output.
All configuration requirements are managed by the UAS. Specific configuration may begin once a MAC
address for the specific Client has been assigned in the UAS database. Refer to the UAS manager for
specific requirements regarding channel assignment and RF power output.
1.
Apply power to the site.
2.
Verify proper operation by performing the following basic checks:
a.
Verify that the AC or DC power supply is operating properly.
b.
Notify the UAS manager that the site is on-line.
c.
Verify with the UAS manager that the site has full connectivity and all is operational.
9.2 OPERATION
Operational requirements for the Client are simplified. All Client activities are managed by the UAS,
therefore on-site activities are minimized. Only hardware related on-site operational requirements exist.
Perform the following operation checks:
1.
Make sure the site meets the operational requirements defined by the UAS.
2.
Plug the Serial RSSI Test Box into the serial test port and verify that sufficient RSSI is present from
the Base Station.
3.
Ensure that all cables, connections, access panels, etc. are properly secured before leaving the site.
4.
Follow up on any specific site deployment tasks not covered in this manual.
9.3 CLIENT PRETEST AND ALIGNMENT
The Client is aligned and tested at the factory before shipment to ensure that product specifications and
regulatory requirements are met. No further field adjustments are required. If a unit is suspected to need
realignment, return the unit to the manufacturer for repair.
9.4 FIXED ANTENNA ALIGNMENT AND POLARIZATION
On Clients using a directional antenna, it will be necessary to properly align the antenna. The following
procedure describes this process.
1.
Verify that the UAS has connectivity to the Client.
2.
Connect the RSSI Test Box to the serial service port.
3.
Verify the antenna is mounted in the proper polarity (horizontal or vertical).
4.
Loosen the pinion bolt and adjust the antenna for best RSSI reading.
5.
Tighten all hardware, disconnect Test Box and seal all connections.
