Enabling the base station and checking the IP-RNC 8500
This procedure explains how to enable the BTS function in the IP-RN 8000 and to verify the IP-RN 8000
has connectivity with the IP-RNC 8500 to which it is homed.
Requirements
CLI session with the IP-RN 8000
Procedure
1. Using the CLI session to the IP-RN 8000, enable the BTS function as follows:
AIRVANA-03>enable
AIRVANA-03#no shutdown
AIRVANA-03#exit
AIRVANA-03>
This configures the node to establish a connection with the IP-RNC 8500 to which it is homed.
2. Verify the node is communicating with the IP-RNC 8500, as follows:
AIRVANA-03>show abis peer
After several seconds, the following displays:
PeerAddressPortStateRxMsgsRxhellos
172.16.1.32602UP22648
If an IP address followed by a few digits and then “UP” is not displayed, the node does not have a
connection to the IP-RNC 8500. This connection is required for the test to proceed.
This procedure is complete. Go to Verifying GPS status
on page 172.
Verifying GPS status
This procedure explains how to verify that the IP-RN 8000’s GPS system is operational and locked onto a
