6 Frequency Setting Procedures
This section provided to meet regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions which require local
frequency setting procedures. Normally frequency settings should be made only in the iBSM
system which will subsequently download them to the base station. Refer to the iBSM manuals
for configuration and operating instructions.
6.1 iBSM Management
The AW-100 series base stations are normally managed by the centrally located iBSM
(Integrated Base Station Manager) system which communicates with the AW-100 over an
IP connection.
The iBSM downloads system software and configuration information which includes the
physical FA (Frequency Assignment) for each base station. The base station tunes to the
correct frequency as defined by the BSM configuration files.
Refer to the iBSM operations manual for instructions on base station remote
configuration.
6.2 Local FA Setting
It may be required to set the AW-100 series base station physical FA locally for
specialized test purposes or when the iBSM connection is unavailable (for example
during early RN installations). This can be done using the local MMI (Man Machine
Interface) port and a local PC.
The configuration data downloaded from the iBSM will override local settings when iBSM
connections are established.
6.2.1 MMI Connection
Connect the serial port of the PC to the “RN MMI” port on the AW-100 front panel. Use
only the Serial MMI cable provided by AirWalk and the following port settings:
• 115200 baud
• 8 bit
• No Parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
