4.4.11
Setting RMC System Gain
When and where to use:
The Receive Multicoupler (RMC) system gain must be set up according to your
GTR 8000 Base Radio
configuration.
NOTICE: For base radios, calculate and enter a value for system gain. Calculate the system
gain from the receiver multicoupler input to the
base radios Rx input. If there is no multicoupler,
enter zero.
Procedure:
1 Open Configuration/Service Software (CSS).
2 Connect to the device through an Ethernet port link. Read the configuration file from the device.
See Connecting Through an Ethernet Port Link on page 141.
3 From the menu, select File → Read Configuration from Device.
4 From the navigation tree, select Configuration.
5 Select the Receive Multicoupler (RMC) Configuration tab.
6 In the GTR 8000 Configuration field, select GTR 8000 Base Radio Standalone.
7 In the System Gain field, enter a dB value.
8 From the menu, select File → Save or File → Save As to save the RMC configuration to an
archive on your local or network drive.
9 From the menu, select File → Write Configuration to Device to write the configuration data to
the base radios.
The RMCs automatically use the resulting system gain. In addition, an appropriate transceiver
attenuation is automatically calculated and saved in the configuration file.
4.5
Configuring Centralized Authentication on Devices in
VoyenceControl
When and where to use: This process provides the procedures for configuring centralized
authentication on devices using the VoyenceControl component of the Unified Network Configurator
(UNC) application.
NOTICE: VoyenceControl does not apply for a K core or non-networked site.
Process:
1 Configure Domain Name Service (DNS) on the device. See “DNS Configuration on RF Site and
VPM Devices with VoyenceControl” in the Authentication Services manual.
