H. BER Test Procedure
A Bit Error Rate (BER) diagnostic tool has been developed to report Receive (Rx) BER
measurements from the MC-Series System via System Manager. A Motorola R2660
Communications Analyzer can be used as the source of the test signal for the MC-Series System
during the BER test. This section describes the MC-Series System Rx BER diagnostic tool.
H.1 Equipment Connection/Setup
Set up the equipment to measure Rx BER as follows:
1 Connect a laptop to port 8 of the BIC CRIC using an Ethernet (CAT5) cable.
2 Start System Manager and log in.
Launch a browser session and then enter the MC-Series System IP address
(http://169.254.200.5
). Select the System Configuration tab to display the login window. For
User Name, type Sysadmin (case sensitive), and for Password type Radioframe (case
sensitive), and then select OK.
3 Display the RadioBlade Statistics page and record which RadioBlades are locked.
On the System Configuration page, select either the RBS icon or the RBS STATUS link to
display the RBS Status page. Then select the RadioBlade Statistics link at the top of the RBS
Configuration page. RadioBlades are listed by slot (1 through 24). If an RB is locked, the icon
in the Locked/Unlocked column is closed. If the RB is unlocked, the lock is open.
4 Lock any unlocked RadioBlades so that none of them are transmitting.
