Note These sites provide documentation such as Release Notes, Installation and Configuration Guides, and
User Guides.
Note Please note that each vendor’s AAA has its own interface for configuring the subscriber information.
When troubleshooting WiMAX subscriber issues, the service provider will need to investigate both the
EMS and AAA data.
7.5 Add and Configure a BWX 8415 Basestation
7.5.1 Minimum System Configuration Requirements
During deployment of a system, only the minimum EMS, BS, SS, BWG, and global parameters must be
entered to get the system up and running for testing before turning the site over to the service provider.
The service provider may ask you to do more, but in this section we go over the EMS fields that must be
configured in order to complete the commissioning of the system.
At this stage, you should have already installed the EMS Server and Client applications, rebooted the
Server computer (which executed the “configserver” batch file), and added the BWG. The following list
is typical information you will need to know to enter the minimum configuration data.
• Network ID – This is a unique identifier for a given service provider’s network. No other service
provider will have the same Network ID (NID). The NID is provided by Cisco.
• BTS ID – Each BS must have a unique number identifier. The ID must be numeric characters and
be in the following range: 0 - 1048575.
• BTS Name – Each BS must have a unique name identifier. The name can be a mix of alpha and
numeric characters. Cisco recommends entering BWX or another identifier so that other personnel
will later be able to recognize this BS as a BWX system.
• BTS IP Address – When you enter the IP address for the BS, the system will automatically create
a second IP address for that BWX 8415 Basestation. For example, if you enter 10.10.10.1, the EMS
software generates the second IP address as 10.10.10.2. The initial IP address is usually obtained
from the service provider’s network administrator.
• EMS Server IP Address – Obtained from the service provider’s network administrator (for testing
purposes, use the IP address of the PC where the Test EMS resides)
• BTS Subnet Mask – Obtained from the service provider’s network administrator
• BTS Gateway IP Address – Obtained from the service provider’s network administrator
• BTS Center Frequency – Obtained from the RF Plan
• Basestation Antenna Power, RX Sensitivity – determined by Specifications.
