+=== Site Software Installation Instructions ===
+   
+The Instructions in the Airspan Installation Guide (shipped with airspan BS) talk about the process of Installation.
+The components for the software installation are:
+
+    1. Netspan Management Software
+    2. Netspan Software License 
+    3. Windows server SP2 2008 Edition License to run the Netspan software
+    4. Server/laptop to run Windows machine
+
+The Airspan BS ''' does not power ON by default '''.
+
+Refer to Page 56 of Installation Guide in conjunction to these instructions.
+
+
+Change the management IP and VLAN configuration to your site addressing scheme.
+
+Contact seskar (at) winlab (dot) rutgers (dot) edu to initiate license acquisition for netspan.
+
+Place the GPS device connected to Air4G-W24 in an area where it can obtain a Lock.
+
+
+=== Configuring Base station profile ===
+  After uploading the license,
+  - Create a discovery task: Server -> Discovery parameters -> Add
+(the form fields should match the BS configuration)
+  - Wait for the discovery to take place
+  - After a while, the BS should be visible under Configuration
+management -> Node -> Node
+  - Select it and click on Edit
+  - Configure everything according to the "golden config" (basically
+the default settings), except for the IP address and RF profile which
+are site-specific
+  - Make sure that the form field "Ready for service" says "Ready for service"
+  - Click OK
+  - Wait for the provisioning to complete (it takes a couple of minutes)
+  - If the provisioning fails, the BS is probably in "maintenance"
+mode and must be switched to "out of service" with the
+following steps, if needed:
+  - Select the BS and click on Manage
+  - Go to the "State and control" page
+  - Under "16e BS service state" select "Set out of service"
+  - Click OK and wait, now the provisioning should take place
+
+  - Switch the "16e BS service state" to "in service", following the
+above procedure
+  - Now netspan should report all green and the BS should be fully up
+and running
+
+''' Note ''' that the BS cannot be moved from "maintenance" to "in service"
+directly , so it must be put first into "out of service" state, and then finally "in
+service".
