Programming mobility data
By default, the system has no radios assigned to any cells upon installation.
Assignment occurs when the wireless system is activated. Up to eight radios
can be assigned to a cell. A radio cannot be assigned to more than one cell, and
reassigning a radio to a new cell automatically deletes the radio from its former
cell.
Before activating the wireless system, you may have to program the antenna
settings or the System Access Logical Identifier.
A five-digit number identifies each radio. The first four digits indicate the card
and unit number (ccuu) associated with the Base Station. The last digit
indicates the number of the radio on that Base Station, 1 or 2.
“Setting the antenna type for a radio” on page 87 applies to sites that are using
one or more external antennas. The procedure described in “Setting the
System Access Logical Identifier” on page 88 is optional and applies only to
a small number of sites.
Setting the antenna type for a radio
You must tell the system when an external antenna is installed or removed. The
default at system startup is internal. Record the current setting in Meridian
Companion Programming and Provisioning Record.
