Step 7. On the Test EMS Server, click on the Server icon to start the EMS Server. NOTE: This

step assumes you have loaded and configured the EMS Server & Client applications.

Client GUI.

Add BTS in EMS

Once you have the CAM application running on the Test EMS server, you will need to click on

the BTS element tab to add the new BTS. Only the minimal configuration parameters have to be

completed at this time - i.e., BTS name, ID, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. Follow the

Network Architecture Plan designed for this system.

Also configure the GPS offset time. The default is 0 minutes, indicating the BTS would be

located in the same time zone as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Change this value to whatever

time is appropriate to the location of the BTS in relation to GMT time zone. For example, if the

BTS is located in Dallas, Texas, which is 6 hours behind GMT time zone, you would enter –360.

As you will see in the section that follows, you will also configure the RFS splitter loss at this

time. For more details about configuring a BTS, refer to the Ripwave Configuration Guide.

RFS Configuration (Power Splitter Loss and W0 Values)

Each RFS shipped is pre-programmed for the customer’s specific operating environment. An

RFS Configuration floppy disk accompanies the RFS equipment when it is shipped. This floppy

disk includes an RFS script and a Quick Guide with procedures on selecting the appropriate

splitter loss values to be entered into the EMS database for the given Base Station. Each

Configuration disk is unique to the individual RFS that is shipped. You cannot use the same disk

on other RFS equipment.

RFS Configuration Procedure

Step 1. Remove the RFS Configuration disk from the RFS packaging, and insert it in the

floppy drive of the Test EMS.

Step 2. Copy the folder named “RFS” that is on the disk to the Test EMS Server:

<ems install dir>/scripts.

It will take approximately 20 seconds to complete.

Step 3. Open the new folder on the EMS server. You will see a list of file names. The format

of the file names is as follows:
