7.1.1 ‘Setup the ‘Test’ EMS

Before installing the EMS software on a local computer, it is a good idea to check the customer’s network

architecture plan. You should review the plan against the actual setup at the site, checking to see that all

equipment and software are installed and available for use. Verify that all routers are installed and IP

addresses are correct.

You will need a “test” EMS computer in order to enter some basic configuration data needed to test the

system once it is powered on. As an installer, you can either use a laptop computer or the customer’s

intended EMS Server. (If you use the customer’s intended EMS Server, it will be connected through the

backhaul, which is a fiber optic connection between the BWX 8415 Basestation (BS) and the service

provider’s network.)

Typically, in order to keep a constant link, a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hub or switch connects the test EMS

to the BS Data port using an Ethernet cable. This allows the technician to use the EMS Client to

communicate with the EMS Server, which are installed on the same test computer (instructions later in

this chapter).

An RS-232 serial cable is then connected between the test EMS and the Console port on the BS. Using

standard communication software -- i.e., a terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerm or

TeraTerm -- allows the installer to enter basic configuration data at this early stage. The procedure for

setting up the communications software is described below.
