Once the power is switched on, you can access the router via Telnet (all
necessary configuration steps were already taken in the lab).
It takes approximately 10-15 seconds for RMA to perform registration procedure.
After this period of time you can check the following:
On BS: type “rma ab to learn whether CPEs are registered
On CPE: type “rma bs to learn whether CPE has a BS registration
If it turns out that during some significant period of time (1 minute) there is no
CPE registration at BS, it can generally imply two options:
Link fade margin is not sufficient to handle the connection
Antenna alignment procedure is required in order to establish the connection
Even if registration has occurred but signal levels are not enough (signal levels
according to InfiNet scale are meant in the case, antenna alignment procedure is
strongly recommended.
In both cases (whether there is a registration or not) the following procedure for
antenna alignment is recommended:
1. Either on BS device or CPE run rma test. Run it only from ONE side. The
command looks as follows:
rma rf4.0 test <MAC> 1400
Here, <MAC> - is a MAC-address of the CPE radio.
1400 the length of the testing packet.
From CPE side it is possible to run rma test only if CPE has a registration on
BS.
2. Antenna alignment should be done only from one side at one time. Align one
side, than other side. Use mobile phones to check current signal levels. The
output of rma test command is demonstrated on the Figure 32.

3. The link can be claimed to be working when the following requirements are
met:
Percentage of LostIn and LostOut packets is equal to 0
Quality parameter is 120 and higher
No repeats (00/00/00 value must be obtained)
