Chapter 14 ● Calibrating transmit power
184 Release 2.0, 910056 Rev01d
Procedure
1. Shut down the sector as follows (this example shuts down sector1):
AIRVANA-03>enable
AIRVANA-03#configure
AIRVANA-03(config)#sector-element element1/4/1
AIRVANA-03(config-element)#shutdown
• To shut down sector 2, use: sector-element element1/4/2.
• To shut down sector 3, use: sector-element element1/4/3.
AIRVANA-03(config-element)#exit
AIRVANA-03(config)#exit
AIRVANA-03#exit
AIRVANA-03>
2. Use the CLI session with the IP-RNC 8500 to stop the FTAP session as follows:
AIRVANA-07>(tap-0x3f2)#exit
AIRVANA-07>(tap)#exit
AIRVANA-07#exit
AIRVANA-07>
3. Disconnect the power meter, attenuator pad, and power splitter from the end of the transmit jumper
cable for the sector.
4. Connect the antenna jumper cable that was just attached to the test equipment to the proper external
antenna cable/surge protection equipment.
The connections are typically N-type and require a 13/16 inch open ended wrench. If you assembled
your own jumper cables, the connector type may be different
Tighten connections snugly. Do not overtighten.
This procedure is complete.
• If you have completed calibration of all sectors, go to Blossoming and enabling all sectors
on page 185.
• If you still have sectors to calibrate, go to Starting FTAP for the sector
on page 179.
CAUTION
All external antenna cables exiting the Rox System cabinet seal
must be connected to an external surge suppression system, even
if the cables are not used. Failure to connect unused cables to a
surge suppression system leaves them open to lightning strikes,
which could damage the IP-RN 8000.
