Step 3:
Setting the Radio Parameters
The remainder of the Commissioning process is performed using the
WALKnet application and the WALKnet User Manual. Refer to the appropriate
section of the WALKnet User Manual for the following Commissioning
procedures.
The RFU and Antenna Properties dialog contains all the RFU and Antenna
parameters of the Base Station. You can view or edit the settings as
described in Table 3-7. New settings can be applied to specific BS-BUs as
well as all BS-BUs in a sector.
Figure 3-3 displays the RFU and Antenna Dialogs for the BS-BU.
See WALKnet section 4.2.3 Frequency Planning and section 4.3.5 Antenna
Configuration for the following:
Setting the Radio Parameters
Set the RFU Head Type
Set the IF Cable Type and length
The IF cable connects with the indoor and the outdoor units. The
system requires the IF cable attenuation data in order to adjust the
output signal. The cable attenuation can either be entered manually,
or computed by the system based on the specified IF length and type
Set the IF Cable Type of cables other than the LMR400
If Other Cable type was entered, the Gain table for the IF cable
must be entered as described by vendor specifications
Set the Gain table
The IF cable attenuation data can be computed by the system or
manually entered by the user. Prior to entering this option, ensure
that the cable gain (attenuation) has been measured.
Setting the Modem Working Point for nominal Tx, Rx and default values.
Typically, the default settings are used, however it is possible to configure
the Modem Working point in order to optimize modem performance.
When setting the Modem Working Point, select either the default values or
enter the Site Planning values for Tx and Rx.
Setting the Frequency Index as specified in the Frequency Planning
Schedule.

Step 5
Setting the BS/TS Telecom Parameters
The WALKair Telecom Port Configuration dialogs enable you to define the
Telecom port type and to configure its parameters for the BS-BU and
Registered TSs. You can configure the Telecom ports for Registered TSs that
are not connected or installed. Once a connection is established between the
BS-BU and the TS-BU, the TS-BU receives these parameters.
When updating the BS Telecom Configuration parameters, all ports are
updated and set to the Disable State. The displayed parameters for the
Telecom Interface will vary depending on the type of Telecom card installed
on each port.
In the case of a mismatch between the configured and detected port types,
WALKair transmits a Trap.
See WALKnet section 4.3.6 Telecom Port Configuration for the following:
Selecting the Telecom Card Type
(E1 or V.35/X.21)
Configuring the Telecom Card
Defining the Telecom Card Administrative Status
NOTE
If an individual port does not contain a Telecom card, the port must be
configured as, No Card.
NOTE
From the NMS, the BS/TS ports are numbered from 1 3. Facing the unit,
Port 1 is located furthermost to the right, near the management port. Port 3 is
located furthermost to the left, near the IF interface

TS COMMISSIONING
This chapter describes the commissioning process for the WALKair V3.1
Terminal Station via the LCI. The TS Commissioning process is performed by
the Commissioner via direct connection to the TS-BU using the LCI for the
following:
1. Connecting the Local Craft Terminal to the TS/BU
2. Setting the Radio Link Parameters
Setting the RFU Head Type
Setting the IF cable length and type (IF cable gain)
3. Setting the Administrative Parameters
NOTE
Repeat Steps 2 3 for each installed TS/BU.
5.1
Step 1:
Connecting the LCI Terminal to the TS/BU
Connection to a TS/BU is made with an RS-232 Communications Cable.
The RJ-45 connector is attached to the receptacle marked LCI. The D-Type
connector is connected to the communications port of the Local Craft PC
(see Figure 5-1).

5.3.3
TS Scanning
The TS starts scanning the RFU for available frequencies, searching for a
downlink transmission (seeks a signal above a certain threshold). When the
received signal strength is above a certain threshold, the TS will attempt
synchronization.
Upon success, the TS waits for the customer ID search message, with the
Customer ID in the downlink:
If the Customer ID does not appear in the downlink, the TS continues
scanning.
If the Customer ID appears in the downlink and matches the ID in the TS-BU,
the scanning stops and the TS waits for EOC allocation.
