Enabling and blossoming the sector to be calibrated
This procedure explains how to enable the sector being calibrated and turn on (blossom) transmission for the
sector. This is needed for the AT to establish an active 1xEV-DO session with the IP-RNC 8500.
Requirements
• CLI session to the IP-RN 8000
• CLI session to the IP-RNC 8500
• A turned on 1xEV-DO AT
• All sectors are disabled
Procedure
1. Use the CLI session to the IP-RN 8000 to enable and blossom the sector being calibrated, as follows:
AIRVANA-03>enable
AIRVANA-03#configure
AIRVANA-03(config)#sector-element <sector-element>
Where: <sector-element> is element1/4/1 for sector1/alpha, element1/4/2 for sector2/
beta, element1/4/3 for sector1/gamma
AIRVANA-03(config-element)#tx-power 25
AIRVANA-03(config-element)#no shutdown
AIRVANA-03(config-element)#exit
AIRVANA-03(config)#exit
AIRVANA-03#exit
2. Verify the sector is up as follows:
AIRVANA-03>show sector-element
Name Carrier Sector CAI Channel Power Admin Oper
--------------------------------------------------------------------
element1/4/1 carrier1 sector1 IS-856 850 25 dBm UP UP
element1/4/2 carrier1 sector2 IS-856 850 35 dBm DOWN DOWN
element1/4/3 carrier1 sector3 IS-856 850 35 dBm DOWN DOWN
The sector you blossomed should have an Admin of UP and an Oper of UP.
This procedure is complete. Go to Starting FTAP for the sector
on page 179.
