| 141 | |
| 142 | After uploading the license, |
| 143 | - Create a discovery task: Server -> Discovery parameters -> Add |
| 144 | (the form fields should match the BS configuration) |
| 145 | - Wait for the discovery to take place |
| 146 | - After a while, the BS should be visible under Configuration |
| 147 | management -> Node -> Node |
| 148 | - Select it and click on Edit |
| 149 | - Configure everything according to the "golden config" (basically |
| 150 | the default settings), except for the IP address and RF profile which |
| 151 | are site-specific |
| 152 | - Make sure that the form field "Ready for service" says "Ready for service" |
| 153 | - Click OK |
| 154 | - Wait for the provisioning to complete (it takes a couple of minutes) |
| 155 | - If the provisioning fails, the BS is probably in "maintenance" |
| 156 | mode (ours was) and must be switched to "out of service" with the |
| 157 | following steps: |
| 158 | -- Select the BS and click on Manage |
| 159 | -- Go to the "State and control" page |
| 160 | -- Under "16e BS service state" select "Set out of service" |
| 161 | -- Click OK and wait, now the provisioning should take place |
| 162 | - Switch the "16e BS service state" to "in service", following the |
| 163 | above procedure |
| 164 | - Now netspan should report all green and the BS should be fully up |
| 165 | and running |
| 166 | |
| 167 | ''' Note ''' that the BS cannot be moved from "maintenance" to "in service" |
| 168 | directly (at least it didn't work when I tried yesterday), so it must |
| 169 | be put first into "out of service" state, and then finally "in |
| 170 | service". |
