Antenna Face 4 - Cabled for TDOA 
WLS input cable connection thresholds: 
Low: -109 dBm, High: -104 dBm 
- Cable considered connected if min avg level is above low threshold OR 
 max avg level is above high threshold 
- 4th sect delta column is the min avg level of the each port minus the 
min avg level of the 4th sector port. This is useful when the 4th sector 
is known to be unused, and can be used as a reference level to other ports. 
 Avg Signal Levels (dBm)

RF CABLING TEST RESULTS: 
 WLS Input Connected? Required? 
 1 YES YES 
 2 NO NO 
 3 NO NO 
 4 NO NO 
 5 YES YES 
 6 NO NO 
 7 NO NO 
 8 NO NO 
Test Result: PASS 
Press any key to continue. 
The test software determines which WLS input ports are required to be connected based on the 
WLS bpu.ini file. The test result will be PASS if all required WLS inputs are connected. 
Otherwise the test result will be FAIL. Possible causes for a failure are also displayed. 
2.10.9 WAN Port/Ping Test 
The WAN Port/Ping Test is used to verify DS0 connection from the WLS to the GCS located at 
the MSC. The test can also check for the presence of a WAN loop back, either via the CSU/DSU 
in loop back mode or via a WLS WAN port loop back plug. Note: This test requires access to the 
WLS unit through the front panel RS-232 serial port. 
The WAN Port/Ping Test will try to ping the GCS. If this is successful then the PPP connection is 
determined to be operational and the DS0 connection is operational. In addition, a loop back test 
will be performed. An example of the test display is shown below. 
Enter your choice: 9 
WAN/PING TEST: 
PING gcs (10.0.0.131): 56 data bytes 
--- gcs ping statistics --- 
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss 
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/1/10 ms 
Ping: Pass 
The WAN Loopback Test can only be executed when 
accessing the unit through the serial port. 
Proceed with Test(y/n): n 
Press any key to continue. 
Failure of the WAN Port/Ping test indicates a lack of end-to-end connectivity between the WLS 
and the GCS. Failure may indicate a fault in the CSU/DSU provisioning, a fault in the T1 DACS
