Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Connect RF Cables & Alarms to BTS Connect all of the cables to the BTS. The connection points are shown in Figures 39, 40, 41, and 42. Torque the cable connectors to 20-24 inch-pounds. If applicable, connect the cabinet alarm connector and Battery Backup connector (Cabinet Alarm and BBU) to the back of the chassis. More information on connecting alarms, rectifiers, and battery backup equipment are provided in Appendix L and Appendix F, respectively.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Omni Antenna The RFS Omni antenna is installed on a structure, such as a tower or a pole, which is defined in the site survey and design. Following are the steps to complete the installation of the panel antenna. Refer to the Regulatory Information in Chapter 1, Page 8 prior to installing. Assemble the Antenna Mount per the instructions that come with it (Figure 43).
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide are already installed, verify that the correct cards are placed and seated properly. The RF/PA modules may be installed in any position on the top (RF) shelf. For the Digital shelf, refer to Figure 47 for correct card placement. Table 4 describes the name of each type of card in the Digital shelf. Tighten the screws to secure the RF/PAs into the RF shelf.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Base Station Installation Certification When the installation of the equipment is complete, the Base Station Installation Certification form needs to be completed and signed off by both the installer and the customer. A copy of the first part of this form (check-up list) may be found in Appendix O. The second part (serial numbers) is contained in the “I&C Closeout Tool” described in Appendix V.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Chapter 3: Commissioning This chapter provides post-installation instructions on provisioning, configuring, calibrating, testing, and commissioning the Ripwave Base Station. Review Customer Network Plans As part of preparing to put the BTS into commission, it is important to review the actual installed site against the customer Network Architecture Plan - i.e., checking that all equipment and software are installed and available for use.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Figure 48: Ports on CC and MDM Cards Combo/Split Chassis TTA Parallel Ports (factory use only) Ethernet Connectors T1 Connectors Serial Port (a.k.a. Console Port) If the customer’s EMS is installed and can be accessed through the backhaul, it can be connected via T1 or Ethernet to the BTS and used for testing purposes. The EMS software installation procedures can be found in the EMS Software Installation Guide, P/N 40-00017-00.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Configure & Power Up the BTS Overview During initial power up a minimal set of configuration parameters have to be input to the BTS through the serial port on the CC card. These early configuration parameters are referred to as the “boot parameters”. They are required to get the BTS to communicate with the EMS Server so that all the configuration data can be downloaded from EMS to the BTS. The PC used at this point is a Test EMS Server (i.e., laptop).
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide 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. Step 8. Click on the EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager (CAM) icon to start the EMS Client GUI. Step 9. At the EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager login screen, enter the user name and password. The defaults are both emsAdmin.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide RFS_serial number_frequency.cli Example: “RFS_024300001_2402500.cli” - This example of the configuration file is for an RFS with serial number 024300001 and a center frequency of 2.4025. Verify the correct serial number in the file name against the serial number of the RFS equipment. The equipment serial number may be found on the back of the RFS panel or on the side of the bottom cylinder of the omni antenna.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Power Up BTS Now you are ready to power up the BTS. Step 1. Ensure that input power has been connected to the BTS. Step 2. Switch the Power to ON. If the BTS is a Combo Chassis, the switch is located on the top right front of the BTS. The green Power On light next to the switch will illuminate (Figure 50). If the BTS is a Split Chassis, the Power ON switch is located on the back lower middle of the Digital shelf.

Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Ethernet Configuration The Ethernet configuration is grouped into three sections: general, EMS, and traffic path. An example of the Ethernet configuration parameters is shown in Exhibit 2.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide The second parameter that you must specify to allow the EMS Server to recognize this BTS is a community string for the EMSs Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface. The default community string shipped with the BTS is “public”.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide default gateway (specified later). The portion is identified using a logical “and” of the mask with the address. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and with an IP address of 172.16.23.182 yields a network of 172.16.x.x. In this case, the default gateway must also be on the 172.16.x.x network. The BTS requires that this association be met. If not, you will be asked to try again. netmask on enet : 255.255.0.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide ems inet : 172.16.0.10 snmp community : public traffic path : atm mac address : 00:04:6a:00:01:20 ip on atm (active) : 172.16.23.181 ip on atm (standby) : 172.16.23.182 netmask on atm : 255.255.0.0 When ATM is selected for the WAN interface using the traffic mode parameter, an additional set of parameters is required (Exhibit 6). First of all, another IP address must be identified for the ATM interface.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide The circuit identifier for this segment of the Management PVC is the next item specified. The first parameter identifies the maximum number of bits for any PVCs identifier Virtual Path Identifier/ Virtual Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) pair. The BTS restricts the available set to 13 total bits. However, you are free to divide those 13 bits between the VPI and VCI as needed, with the VPI having a maximum allocation of 8 bits.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide line length (ft) : 500 Finally, the T1s timing source must be specified. A T1 uses only one timing source either at the near-end or far-end of the line. You may select the BTS as the originator of the timing source by selecting “local”, or you may select the far-end as the timing reference by selecting “loop”.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide ima min rx:tx links : 1:1 [1-7:1-7] Next, specify which T1 ports are used to form the IMA group. This is a list of T1 port identifiers (1-8), each separated by commas. The BTS makes sure you enter at least as many links as you specified for the minimum requirements above: selected ima links : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 The near- and far-end IMA protocols use an ID number to identify each other.
