144 | | ===== Configuring Base station profile ===== |
145 | | |
146 | | After uploading the license, |
147 | | - Create a discovery task: Server -> Discovery parameters -> Add |
148 | | (the form fields should match the BS configuration) |
149 | | - Wait for the discovery to take place |
150 | | - After a while, the BS should be visible under Configuration |
151 | | management -> Node -> Node |
152 | | - Select it and click on Edit |
153 | | - Configure everything according to the "golden config" (basically |
154 | | the default settings), except for the IP address and RF profile which |
155 | | are site-specific |
156 | | - Make sure that the form field "Ready for service" says "Ready for service" |
157 | | - Click OK |
158 | | - Wait for the provisioning to complete (it takes a couple of minutes) |
159 | | - If the provisioning fails, the BS is probably in "maintenance" |
160 | | mode and must be switched to "out of service" with the |
161 | | following steps, if needed: |
162 | | - Select the BS and click on Manage |
163 | | - Go to the "State and control" page |
164 | | - Under "16e BS service state" select "Set out of service" |
165 | | - Click OK and wait, now the provisioning should take place |
166 | | |
167 | | - Switch the "16e BS service state" to "in service", following the |
168 | | above procedure |
169 | | - Now netspan should report all green and the BS should be fully up |
170 | | and running |
171 | | |
172 | | ''' Note ''' that the BS cannot be moved from "maintenance" to "in service" |
173 | | directly , so it must be put first into "out of service" state, and then finally "in |
174 | | service". |
