System Configuration Changes
118 RadioFrame Networks, Inc.
8.1.4 Reverting to the previous version of software
Revert to a previous version of MC-Series System software only if the upgrade fails.
1 Select the Software Download & System Reset on the System Configuration page.
2 Under System Reset, select the inactive partition to revert to the previously loaded version of
software.
3 Select the Reset System button.
This reboot will take several minutes to complete. Wait for the system to come back, and then
refresh the page or reopen the web browser to force the page to update.
8.2 Adding or Removing RadioBlades
The MC-Series system supports hot swapping of RadioBlade transceivers. This means that
replacement of a RadioBlade can be done while the system is live and does not require a system
reset. When RadioBlades are hot swapped no alarm is generated. Rather, an RB lock and unlock
event is placed in the System Manager Event log.
Each RadioBlade is shipped wrapped in antistatic packaging, along with a lockdown strap and
screw for securing the RB in the RadioBlade Shelf (RBS).
Follow the procedure in section 7.7.1. Replacing an iDEN 2-Port RadioBlade Transceiver to add
or remove a RadioBlade.
8.3 Adding a Sector
To add a sector to the MC-Series System, connect and power RF Shelf 2 or RF Shelf 3. To add
one sector, connect and power RF Shelf 2. To add two sectors, connect and power RF Shelf 2
and RF Shelf 3. Refer to Appendix C Cabling Diagrams: 3-Sector Configuration.
1 Have the site configuration available.
2 In System Manager, display the iDEN Configuration page, and change the cabinet/positions
(and quad BRs or adjacent channel assignments) as required for the new configuration (refer
to the site datafill).
3 Power down all RFN equipment in the following order using circuit breakers on the PDU:
• BIC
• AIC
• RBS 1 (RBS 2 and RBS 3 if present)
• RF Shelf 1 (if present and powered, RF Shelf 2 or RF Shelf 3)
4 If a new RF shelf must be installed for the new configuration, mount it now.
While supporting the RF shelf, slide it into the cabinet mounting position. Secure the RF shelf
to the cabinet mounting rails using the four mounting screws provided with the unit. Tighten
the screws to 4.5 Nm (40 in-lb).
