Startup and mandatory configuration

12.1 Startup and mandatory configuration
12.1.1 Service activation
This use case presents a simplified description of the required service activation
procedure to get access to the service related API offered by the BGAN XL Radio
Module.
1. Power up the BGAN XL Radio Module
2. Read the configuration parameter: 'sys.status.mode'
3. Loop step 2 until 'sys.status.mode' is ‘ready’.
4. Read the configuration parameters: 'post.status.1' and 'post.status.2' to evaluate the
results of the internal connectivity tests. Both parameters must be PASSED as 100%
conformity is required. If this is not the case, terminate the activation procedure and
refer to the troubleshooting section.
5. Provide the RM with mandatory configuration via the configuration system.
6. Activate service by sending: MSG_WAVEFORM (activate, service).
7. Wait for acknowledge via the message: MSG_ACK.
The service mode is now active and the entire service API can be used (e.g. to make
extended connectivity tests, calibration, manual transmission and spectrum analyzer
measurements).
12.1.2 Waveform activation (IAI2 mode)
This use case presents a simplified procedure describing how a waveform is loaded in
the BGAN XL Radio Module and activated to operate in IAI2 mode. The use case
assumes that the RM has already been brought into an active service mode.
1. Load the waveform by sending: MSG_WAVEFORM (load=0, IAI2=0).
2. Wait for acknowledge via the message: MSG_ACK.
3. Read the configuration parameter: 'sys.status.mode' and verify that the RM is in
'standby' state.
4. Provide the RM with additional configuration via the configuration system.
5. Activate the waveform by sending: MSG_WAVEFORM (activate=1, IAI2=0).
6. Wait for acknowledge via the message: MSG_ACK and verify that 'sys.status.mode' is
in 'operating' state.
The IAI2 waveform is now active and the sky-scan procedure can be initiated.
