Install & Test Customer EMS Operations
If you have been using a Test EMS up to this point, you will now need to install and test the
customer’s EMS server. This involves installing the EMS Server and Client on a computer that is
connected through the system backhaul. If the customer’s EMS is already installed and has been
used for testing purposes, skip to the “
Verify System Performance” section of this chapter.
Install EMS Software
The EMS software installation procedures can be found in the EMS Software Installation
manual, P/N 40-00017-00. After installing the EMS Server and Client applications, the EMS
needs to be configured with the settings that are designated for the Base Station. The settings are
found in the Network Architecture Plan provided by the customer.
Ensure connection between the Base Station and the backhaul. The connection to the Base
Station will be either an Ethernet connection or T1 connections.
Verify EMS to Base Station Connectivity
Follow the steps below to ensure the EMS and Base Station can communicate.
Step 1. Open a Command Prompt window on the computer where the EMS is installed.
Step 2. Ping the Base Station using the CLI command ping <base station ip address>. Verify
a reply from the Base Station.
Perform Calibration Using Customer’s EMS
This step is necessary only if you have been using a Test EMS up to this point. You will need to
install the customer’s EMS server and software. Calibrate the Base Station using the customer’s
EMS. Follow the same calibration procedures described earlier in this chapter, Calibrate the Base
Station. Perform the procedure three times and make sure that the results are stable (+/- 3).
