THIS SECTION WAS WRITTEN/DEVELOPED, BASED ON THE FIELD TEST KIT LIST OF

MATERIALS AND VERBAL DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW THE FIELD TEST KIT IS INTENDED

TO BE USED. ONCE THE FIELD TEST KIT IS DEVELOPED, THIS SECTION WILL BE

UPDATED TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL EQUIPMENT.

It is recommended that the RU be tested, to ensure that the unit is functioning properly, prior to

installation into the AU. Perform the following steps to connect the RU to the Field Test kit and test the

RU.

Step 1 Connect the RU to the Fan/Cal Board assembly. Refer to Figure 6-2.

- Connect the RU to the fans/cooling system

- Connect the RU to the Cal board (using the 9 RF cables included in the Field Test kit)

- Connect the GPS antenna to the GPS Antenna port on the bottom of the RU.

Step 4 Connect an RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial cable to the Console port on the RU and to the Field Technician’s

laptop PC.

- Using a terminal application (such as TeraTerm or Hyperterminal), set the following port

parameters:

Baud Rate: 9600

Data: 8 bit

Parity: None

Stop: 1 bit

Flow Control: None

Step 5 Power up the RU by connecting the DC power cable to a DC power source (48V power supply).

Note Once the RU is powered up, it will begin to boot. The boot process can be monitored from the terminal

application on the laptop PC.

Step 6 Modify the bootline parameters as necessary. (MORE DETAILS ONCE FIELD TEST KIT IS
