6 – Changes of configuration

During the life-cycle of an Alcatel A7390 LMDS network, both physical and software configuration

changes will likely occur for reasons of both network growth and maintenance.

These changes may involve either changes of configuration using the 7390LT software, or changes to

the physical equipment (X-Pol RT or NT).

The possible changes using the 7390LT software only are:

– declaration/removal/reset of an NT terminal (cf. § 6.1 – Declaration, deletion, reset of an NT),

– implementation of client services (cf. § 6.2 – Implementation of client services).

The possible changes with physical intervention are:

– addition/removal of an NT unit (cf. § 6.1 – Declaration, deletion, reset of an NT),

– changing an NT unit (cf. § 5.4 – Changing a faulty NT unit),

– changing an X-Pol RT unit (cf. § 6.3 – Changing an X-Pol RT),

– addition of an NT to a cluster (cf. § 6.4 – Adding an additional NT to a TS site),

– affectation of an NT unit to another BS (cf. § 6.5 – To asign an NT to an alternate BS).

6.1 – Declaration, deletion, reset of an NT

To add a new NT:

– update the "Installation information" sheet required for station installation (refer to Appendix 1 –

7390 TS installation sheet),

– carry out installation (refer to Chapter 3 – Installation of the X-Pol RT’s A7390 Terminal Station)

and commissioning (refer to Chapter 4 – Commissioning the 7390 Terminal Station) of the NT,

– to declare the new NT terminal, execute the commands indicated in section Declaring a new NT

of the Base Station User Manual (3CC 12426 Axxx).

To delete a NT from the network:

– update the "Installation information" sheet required for station installation (refer to Appendix 1 –

7390 TS installation sheet),

– execute the commands indicated in section NT deletion of the Base Station User Manual (3CC

12426 Axxx),

– turn off power to unit using ON/OFF switch (reference 6 of Figure 21 – The NT unit (85 – 264 V

47 – 63 Hz) ).

To reset a NT :

– execute the commands indicated in section NT reset of the Base Station User Manual (3CC

12426 Axxx)

– if necessary, update the "Installation information" sheet (refer to Appendix 1 – 7390 TS installation
