Chapter 4: Installation Procedures
Configure Sector Controller BIOS Settings
It may be necessary to modify the settings in the sector controller’s BIOS, as the base station uses a
configuration of these cards that differs from the manufacturer’s original settings.
NOTE: If the card is pre-installed in the chassis, then it has already been configured
and this procedure is not required.
BIOS Settings
Table 4.3 shows the required BIOS settings for the card. The BIOS settings can be viewed or changed
via a serial terminal.
 To configure the Concurrent PP310 BIOS Settings
1 Connect a laptop to the serial port on the front of the sector controller. A custom serial cable is required.
2 Start a serial terminal session with the following settings: 115200, 8, none, 1.
3 Power on the chassis.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions and ensure that the card’s BIOS settings are correct.
5 After the BIOS has been configured, power off the chassis.
