2.1
– Overview of the A9900 system
The Alcatel 9900 is a multi–service broadband wireless local loop system designed to provide telecom
services to small and medium–sized enterprises.
Broad band WLL (Wireless Local Loop) system, Alcatel 9900 allows operators to offer rapid provision – to a
large number of client sites – of a comprehensive range of telephone and data transmission services.
For cellular phone network operators, Alcatel 9900 offers the possibility of linking base stations to base
station controllers. This makes Alcatel 9900 an economical transmission solution, for the implementation or
extension of high traffic density areas coverage.
For mixed network operators (fixed and mobile), Alcatel 9900 enables to connect, with the same system, fixed
professional end user as well as base stations of cellular telephony.

– Installation of outdoor equipment
Considerations
– Outdoor equipment installation involves:
installation of the mechanical system (also called “pole–mounting” system) which supports the
RBS radio and facilitates antenna alignment,
installation of the RBS radio assembly and its antenna,
installation of the connection cable connecting the RBS radio to the DBS rack.
–
Outdoor equipment installation should garantee a precise and fixed antenna pointing.
–
The RBS location and its antenna orientation should arise from a planning analysis in order to optimize
the sector coverage. These elements are essential for the installation staff.
–
Antenna orientation is only carried out according to geometric criterion (using compass and
inclinometer).
–
All the outdoor equipment assemblies are designed for installation without any particular protection.
However, the following recommendations should be respected:
–
make sure that the reception metallic structure has a perfect stability,
avoid installation below bird nesting areas,
avoid attaching to chimneys which give off fat deposits, dust and other aerosols which are liable
to be deposited on the equipment,
avoid proximity to sources of heat,
avoid placing the equipment in proximity to corrosive gas outputs,
avoid placing the equipment below roof run–offs not equipped with guttering (high risk of
microwave short–circuit),
avoid attaching to a structure prone to vibrations,
avoid to cross the antenna field of action.
The type of installation used:
on a tube or pole, using threaded U–bolts and nuts.
Nota : The tube selected should be sufficiently rigid to resist vibrations that may give rise to antenna
misalignment.

VERTICALITY OF THE BEARING: + – 0.5 º FOR STANDARD ANTENNAS.
+ – 0,25 º FOR LARGE GAIN ANTENNAS.
NEVER INSTALL THE BEARING AXIS HORIZONTALLY; THE ODU MUST BE ABOVE THE
POLE MOUNTING AND NOT PROJECT LATERALLY.
Considerations
–
Installation can be carried out on an existing or newly installed tube or pole.
–
The external diameter of the tube or pole is 114 mm in standard configuration.
Nota : Other tube diameters may be used depending on the loads to be supported: minimum diameter 76 mm.
– The tube or pole along with the U–bolts must be clean and (apart from threads) grease–free.
–
Wall mounting possible with or without wall plate: see figures 12 and 13.
Stages (Figure 14)
1.
On the pole mounting (ref. 1), loosen the four “bearing” locking screws (ref. 6) and the coarse “bearing”
locking screw (ref. 7) to facilitate the subsequent RBS unit mounting.
2.
Fit the pole mounting (ref. 1) on the tube or pole (ref. 2) using the U–bolts (ref. 3). Secure it using flat
washers, “grower” washers, nuts and lock–nuts (ref. 4).
3.
Roughly orientate the bearing of the pole mounting in the desired topographical direction. The bearing
turnbuckle (ref. 8) should remain in mid–position. Use the “top” marking of the antenna and a compass,
then tighten the U–bolts (ref. 3). U–bolt tightening torque = 3daN.m.
4.
Roughly orientate the elevation of the antenna support by loosening the “elevation” locking screw (ref.
9). The elevation turnbuckle (ref. 5) should remain in mid–position; pivot the antenna support through the
vertical to adjust, then tighten the “elevation” locking screw (ref. 9).

not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL
Considerations
–
The form of the sectored antennas may vary. Always refer to the “TOP” marking on the antenna when
installing on the pole mounting.
–
The orientation of the waveguide is not linked to the polarization for this type of antenna. It is
always necessary to conform you to the “POLAR H” or “POLAR V” constructor’s marking on the
antenna and not to the orientation of the waveguide.
–
The antenna must be installed before the RBS radio unit.
Storage (Figure 15)
1.
Position the RBS radio antenna against the pole mounting support (ref. 2), and install it at the oposite side
of the RBS radio unit.
2.
Secure the RBS radio antenna using seven M6 x 25 screws (ref.3) and onduflex washers.
TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE O–JOINT ON THE NOSE OF THE ANTENNA
CONNECTION.
IF THE RBS RADIO UNITS ARE NOT TO BE MOUNTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
MOUNTING OF THE ANTENNA, PROTECT THE CONNECTION NOSE (FROM WATER,
DIRT AND IMPACT).

1.
Take the ODU by the handle and place the two bosses in the “nose” of the unit against the two slots in the
“nose” of the antenna (the ODU–IDU link cable should be towards the base of the ODU).
Nota : According to the RBS antenna used, the ODU unit should be installed in horizontal or vertical handle
position. This installation is not within polarization control. Refer to the antenna installation kayways.
2.
While holding the radio unit, begin by locking (Figure 16 ) the two side snap–locks on the support, then
that at the bottom, followed by that at the top.
Locking position
Figure 16 – Locking the Radio unit
NEVER USE THE EXTERNAL KAYWAYS TO LOCK THE RADIO UNIT.
REMINDER: The ODU/antenna assembly requires no additional seal on the SHF flanges; the two ends
are smooth. Sealing is provided by the O–ring seal around the male “noses”.

turnbuckles set to “maximum”.
–
The deflection obtained with the turnbuckles is : elevation = + – 9_ bearing = + – 9_.
3.4.5.2 – Alignment adjustment procedure
Stages
1.
Using a control system (graduated level or inclinometer) positioned on the straight part of the antenna
(Figure 18), ensure that it is perfectly horizontal (tilt 0_).
2.
Make a bearing alignment in the direction intended by the radio planners (compass, ”TopoChaix”, etc.).
3.
To avoid obstacles during installation, the “bearing” turnbuckle may be mechanically reversed on the
pole–mounting. However, the bearing axis must remain vertical.
4.
Tighten the “coarse” bearing locking screw. Turn the bearing turn–buckle. Tighten the four bearing front
screws (alternate diagonal tightening) torque of 1.5m daN.
5.
Check that the rough elevation screw is locked to a torque of 1.5m daN.
6.
Using the “fine” elevation adjustment on the pole mounting (site elevation turnbuckle), set the tilt angle
intended by the radio planners (e.g., tilt down 5_). Check this value with the control system (graduated level,
inclinometer, ”TopoChaix”, etc.) positioned on the straight horizontal part of the antenna or the pole
mounting.
Nota : To minimize the unscrewing of the elevation turnbuckle, make careful use of the “coarse” adjustment
in the first stage. The turnbuckle must remain in the mid–position ( 85mm center distance ). Never
exceed a center distance of 94mm.
7.
Secure the two “elevation” side locking screws. Tighten completely the screws to lock the assembly in
position, to a torque of 3 mdaN. Finish the operation by tightening the turnbuckle counter–screws to an
reference torque of 2 mdaN. This ends the antenna alignment.
8.
Check the bearing and elevation of the antenna once the assembly has been firmly secured. If a shift is
noted, repeat the adjustement(s) in question.

3.4.6 – Grounding of the outdoor equipment
Grounding of the outdoor equipment consists of:
–
connecting the grounding of the RBS Unit with the pole–mounting grounding
–
connecting the coupled RBS unit and pole–mounting grounding to the earthing system.
Considerations
–
For grounding the RBS radio unit, a green/yellow cable with insulating sheath must be used. The
minimum cross–section of the conducting wire is 16 mm2.
–
On the pole–mounting assembly, the ground terminal comprises two tapped holes et the rear of the
metal cast supporting the RBS radio (see Figure 19). According to the installation, choose the most
suitably positioned tapped hole. The grounding screw screws on in one of the two nuts inserted into
the metal cast supporting the RBS. When changing the grounding position block the nut to avoid
to lose it.
Storage
1.
Crimp a terminal lug (ref. 16–6 CT) at each end of the cable linking the RBS unit and pole–mounting ground
connections.

– Installation of the link between RBS and DBS
Considerations
–
The electrical link between RBS unit and DBS rack of the Base Station is by one single coaxial cable
per T/R (Figure 20). This cable, using double–shielding, is of the ET 390998 type.
USE ONLY THE ET 390998 CABLE.
–
Physical cable characteristics:
diameter = 11 mm,
maximum installed cable length = 200 meters,
minimum bend radius: 60 mm.
RBS side connector
DBS side connector
Figure 20 – RBS / DBS connection
–
It is essential to measure and record the length of cable actually deployed.
Storage
1.
Fit the cable(s) with male “N” type elbow connectors, supplied with the equipment. To assemble the coaxial
plugs, refer to the manufacturer’s Assembly handbook. The packaging of each plug also contains assembly
instructions and tools.
Nota : Crimping on to the cable can be carried out using the Daniels M 22520/5–01 tool and Y215P clamping
jaws.
Nota : If soldering is used, do not overheat for fear of damage to the cable dielectric.
2.
Attach the cable at the RBS side to the pole–mounting via the rectangular clamp attachment windows.
Nota : The cable should be attached as rigidly as possible to avoid all repetitive movements related to
mechanical or atmospheric vibrations, which could eventually lead to damage of the cable or connector.
3.
Plug in the RBS / DBS connection cable.
4.
Carry out the wiring between RBS and DBS.
Nota : Make a drip groove where the cable enters the buildings, respecting the cables radius, in order to
prevent water infiltration.
Nota : Lock the cable every meter using adapted clamps for the type of cable running.

4 – 9900LT software overview
4.1
– General information
The purpose of this chapter is to present the different screens of the 9900LT software supplied with the Base
Station. The following chapters will make reference to this presentation each time the user needs to access the
software for a particular action (commissioning, maintenance or evolution of the configuration). The same
screen may apply for several types of action.
4.1.1 – Functionalities
The 9900LT software enables:
–
supervision of both the system assembly as a whole (the NE (Network Element)), and of its
sub–assemblies (DBS, RBS, NT);
–
configuration of the sub–assemblies (DBS, RBS, etc.) (used when Commissioning, § 5);
–
setting up services (E1 leased lines, IP cross–connection), (used when Commissioning, § 5);
–
downloading (used in Maintenance, § 6).
Nota : The 9900LT software does not manage the radio part of the terminal stations (ODU). These
generate no alarms, and therefore require no other configuration apart from the installation
configuration
4.1.2 – Principles of the Man–Machine Interface (MMI) of the 9900LT
The user of the 9900LT software is expected to be familiar with the operation of software in the Windows NTt
environment. There follows a description of some of the basic principles of the Windows NTt MMI along with
others, more specific to the 9900LT.
4.1.2.1 – Opening, closing and resizing a window
Here is a reminder of how the boxes at the top right of an active window are used:
Click on....
To......
...minimize the active window to place the application on the taskbar.
Click on the taskbar icon to restore the window.
...maximize the window to full–screen size.
...restore a window which was in full–screen size to its original size.
...close the active window.
3CC10875AAAA TQ BJA 02
Issue 02 -January, 10 2000
55/136
The grayed out fields are for consultation only: their content cannot be modified;
The fields on a white background can be modified: left–click to make the cursor appear
inside the field, then enter the character string required.
According to the same principle, the buttons, icons and items in the pull–down menus
become grayed out when they are inactive.
4.1.2.3 – Confirmation, closing a window, canceling an entry
In the lower part of the windows there may be buttons (which may or may not be active; cf. § 4.1.2.2), the
principle of which is as follows:
Click on....
To......
confirm the data entry, while keeping the window open.
close the active window, thereby canceling any unconfirmed data entries.
cancel the data entry, while keeping the window open.
4.1.2.4 – Sorting and searching in a list
Certain screens contain lists which may contain many lines; a sort and/or search tool is therefore available via
the MMI, in order to facilitate data management:
Left–click once on any column title in order to sort the alphanumeric entries in
increasing order of magnitude; click a second time to sort in the opposite order
(and so on).
When the lists have empty boxes above the titles, it is possible to carry out a
search to display the line required:
click on the box above the title under which to be searched, then enter the first
characters of the sequence in question: the first line to correspond is selected.

4.1.2.2 – Entry fields
4.1.2.5 – Title, menu, button and status message bars
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this
document, use and communication of its contents
not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL
The various information and functionalities of the 9900LT are accessible in several forms of MMI:
Title bars (at the top of the main window): for information only; this is the title of
the window.
Menu bar (below the title bar): each menu contains items.
To access, open the pull–down menu by left–clicking on the title, then click on the
desired item (for execution it must be active, cf. § 4.1.2.2).
Button bar (below the title bar): certain menu functionalities are also directly
accessible by clicking on the buttons displayed at the top of the window.
Message bar (at the bottom of the active window): messages linked to current
events are displayed on the fly in certain windows.
Status bar (at the bottom of the 9900LT main window), divided into 4 areas:
– on the left: global user’s messages (states of progress, error messages, etc.)
– left of center: local access: information about write access (cf. § 4.4.3 )
– right of center: Number of NTs: displays the number of NTs declared in the system
by the Manager.
– on the right: “Most critical alarm”: displays the color of the most critical alarm (see
alarm color codes, § 4.10.4).
4.1.2.6 – Dynamic keys
Each time the cursor rests for several moments on a button (and sometimes on a
field), a textual key on a yellow background defining this button (or field) is
displayed.
4.1.3 – Rearrangement of active windows
During the use of the 9900LT software, several windows may be active simultaneously. The MMI allows you
to rearrange them to optimize their visibility, in classic Windows fashion.
Access this function by opening the Windows pull–down menu:
horizontal rearrangement: horizontal display of several windows
vertical rearrangement: vertical juxtaposition of several windows
cascade rearrangement: diagonal alignment of several windows
list of active windows: select the particular one
that you wish to display

– Running and quitting the software
4.2.1 – Installation of the 9900LT software
The 9900LT is either loaded on the PC which came with the BS, or comes on an installation medium (e.g.,
CD–ROM).
If you need to install the 9900LT software, refer to the “A9900 Craft installation” Appendix; otherwise, go directly
to the next paragraph to run the already installed software.
4.2.2 – Accessing and running 9900LT
To run 9900LT, go to the WindowsR taskbar and left–click on the Start button: the Start menu is displayed. Next,
select the Progams menu followed by the line Craft_Terminal.
or:
Click on the icon shown here which is on the desktop .

– Connection and Disconnection
4.3.1 – BS Connection
The BS connection process consists partly in the NE “Agent” identifying the “Manager” and partly in the retrieval
of data for the NE assembly on the 9900LT software by manual request: this involves the updating of site
information.
ONLY ONE LT SESSION IS OPERATIONEL ON ONE BS.FOR EXEMPLE A LOCAL LT
CONNECTION AND A REMOTE LT CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME
BS,IS NOT POSIIBLE.
There are two possible ways of accessing the BS Connection:
– click on the first button (provided that it is active; cf.§ 4.1.2.2) of the main menu button
bar,
or else,
– open the Management pull–down menu and select the first item: BS Connection.
The following screen is displayed:
IP Address of the BS to be connected: click in a byte field to modify the value;
by default, the address of the last BS to be connected is the value entered.
(not applicable)
connection type: with data upload
(default selection)
(not applicable)
network type: there are two types of
network: local (LAN) or remote (WAN):
check the button for the type of network
corresponding to the system configuration (see Commissioning, section 5).
Click here to return to the previous screen.
Click here to run the data update procedure.
Throughout the update, an animated display indicates to the user that data transmission is underway, with
on–screen indication of the progress of the processed files.

– Supervision Principles
The 9900LT can be used for supervising the whole A9900 Network Element (NE) system.
The NE comprises of:
– a Base Station (9900BS) which mainly includes a Radio unit (RBS) and a MODEM rack (DBS)
–
one or more Terminal Stations (9900TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (RT) and a User connection
unit (NT). Nevertheless the 9900LT software does not manage RT units.
The display allows system control; alarms are activated in particular to signify any intervention.
The supervision items themselves are by definition grayed out and therefore unmodifiable, whereas those
reserved for configuration can be configured by the user. They will be used in the following chapters concerning
commissioning, maintenance and configuration evolution. For the modifications to be taken into account, two
conditions must prevail: you must be in supervision mode (cf. section 4.4.1) and have write access
authorization (cf. section 4.4.3).
4.4.1 – Supervision activation/ deactivation
It is possible to delete the supervision function for a sub–assembly (BS or NT) or assembly (NE), in order to
avoid a stream of data and alarms (e.g. when modifying a sub–assembly).
The supervision activation/deactivation buttons are similar for each of the various screens relating to the
different sub–assemblies. Supervision is symbolized by an eye:
Click on.....
To....
ou
...activate supervision of the BS or NT respectively.
ou
...stop supervision of the BS or NT respectively.
4.4.2 – Data retrieval
According to the same principle as for starting up the 9900LT (automatic data retrieval following connection),
this update can be carried out for each individual equipment item; data recovery is symbolized by a red
arrow on the screen buttons relative to the equipment:
Click on...
or
To...
or
...activate the data recovery function for the NE, BS, and NT respectively.
Nota : these operations may take quite a long time (in particular for the NE) since they depend on the allocated
bit rate of the connection between BS and manager.
4.4.3 – Local access requests
The general status bar (cf. section 4.1.2.5) displays in its central part the messages concerning write access
authorization: “Local Access : Denied / granted”. Where there are two system managers (9900LT and an
Operating System (OS : ex:1353)), these access rights are allocated by the OS manager; otherwise, write
access is authorized by default for the 9900LT.

4.4.4 – Administrative statuses
Locking the administrative status of sub–assemblies allows the maintenance operator to disable the
sub–assembly manifesting an anomaly without disturbing the system.
Unlocking sub–assembly administrative status frees service use for the end user.
Operator is not able to modify the administrative state assembly. He only can change the ports and
cross–connections.

4.11.1.5 – Cross–connect
There are two types of cross–connect: between structured ports and between unstructured ports.
– Unstructured case:
In this case, the maximum bitrate (2 Mbit/s) is supplied by connecting all the time–slots of the selected TNT
port to the time–slots of the NT port.
1. Select the unstructured ports that you wish to connect.
2. Select the block of time–slots at
the TNT by pressing a time–slot of
the time slots bock at the TNT.
4. Release the buttons: all the slots are selected.
3. Press the CTRL key while
clicking the left button of the
mause on a TNT time–slot
and slide the mouse pointer
towards NT time–slots.
5. Confirm the cross–connect by creating the cross–connection: § 4.11.1.8
3CC10875AAAA TQ BJA 02
Issue 02 -January, 10 2000
89/136
In this case, 31 time–slots can be cross–connected for each port; the maximum bitrate is 31*64 kbits/s, with
the first time–slot (grayed out) reserved for synchronization.
To implement the cross–connect, proceed in the same way as for non–structured ports, but this time selecting
the time–slots individually.
The cross–connect arrows offer you guidance for dragging the TNT slots to the available NT slots; if the current
cross–connect correspond to “unauthorized” ones, an error message is displayed at the foot of the window and
the cross–connect arrows indicate the NT time–slots to which the cross–connect is directed.
The slots of a real cross–connection (following the creation phase: cf.§ 4.11.1.8) are colored green.

Priority 1 of course relates to an external source, since
this allows the station to be immune to user error.
4.9.3
For the moment, it is not possible to select one of the
channels (1, 5, 9 or 13) of the TNT board present
since they are not yet defined. You should come back
to them once at least one has been configured.
. Operational State: the effective presence of a signal
used for synchronization is signaled by the wording
”Enabled”.
If no signal is valid, the station works off its internal
clock.

6 – Operation and maintenance
6.1
– Network supervision
The status of the system is controlled in permanence by the supervision function provided by the 9900LT
software. This function is described in sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the present Manual.
6.2
– Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance is carried out by:
– permanent monitoring of the system provided by the supervision function,
– periodic inspection of the equipment to ensure that:
– the link cables between the NE elements are not damaged,
6.3
–
the external equipment is properly assembled,
–
the internal equipment is correctly in place.
– Corrective maintenance
6.3.1 – Alarms processing
Knowledge of the implicitly induced alarms may be necessary for the operator to be able to carry out
maintenance and estimate the quality of the services offered by the 9900NE. This is why the present document
offers, in this chapter, a basic knowledge to the operator of the alarm correlation.
6.3.1.1 – Checking alarms for each equipment management function
The “alarms control” functions of each board’s equipment management for a given type of element are
responsible for supervision, clearing and masking of alarms for this element. Each of its functions is responsible
for notification to the SNMP agent of the starts and ends of alarms that it controls.
The ANT board is in addition responsible for the processing of alarm indicators of the three dry loops reserved for
the BS (“ Critical ”, “ Major ” and “ Minor ” indicators). This processing is not carried out for the NR2.0.
The AMD board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of element:
•
The AMD itself
•
The IBS
•
The RBS
•
The NT
•
The static cross–connects on the channels of a radio link
The TNT board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of element:
•
The TNT itself
•
The E1–G703 port of the TNT
The NT implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of element:
•
The E1–G703 port of the NT
3CC10875AAAA TQ BJA 02
Issue 02 -January, 10 2000
109/136
The E1–G704 port of the NT
•
The Ethernet port of the NT
6.3.1.2 – Terminology relating to the alarms
Active alarm: an alarm is active as soon as the start of this alarm is notified to the ANT board, and remains so as
long as its end is not notified
Anomaly: Discrepancy between the intended and real characteristics of an item. An anomaly may or may not
affect the capacity of this item to carry out a required function. Several successive anomalies of the same type
are generally considered a fault.
Defect: Limited interruption of the capacity of an item to carry out the required function. A defect may or may not
necessitate maintenance action.
Alarm clearance: Clearing an alarm initiation by notifying its end.
Board alarm function: For AMD, TNT, IBS, RBS or NT boards, the alarm function is the totality of the “Alarms
control” functions of the elements that they manage.
Alarm masking: Storage of an alarm without immediate notification of alarm initiation. Masking allows the
seriousness of the alarms for a given element to be hierarchically ordered: masking is carried out when a higher
order alarm appears. If on unmasking (carried out at the end of the higher order alarm) the alarm which was
masked is still present, an alarm initiation must be notified.

7 – Changes of configuration
The changes to the transmission network may require changes to the equipment configurations in order to meet
new requirements. The A9900 equipment is likely to satisfy these changes either by modifying just the
equipment software configuration or by physically modifying the equipment and its configuration
These changes may involve either changes of configuration with or without physical intervention on the
equipment, or changes to the 9900LT itself.
The possible changes using the 9900LT software only are:
– use of local supervision,
–
change of bit rate,
–
modification of channel frequency:
change of frequency in the same sub–band,
change of frequency in another sub–band or a different band,
–
change of transmit power level,
–
change of physical address of the equipment,
The possible changes with physical intervention are:
– change of DBS rack,
–
change of RBS unit,
–
change of DC/DC power supply unit for DBS racks,
Before any configuration change, block all remote command signals
(Procedure to be detailed subsequently.)
For carrying out work of any kind on boards (disassembly/assembly, configuration
modification), the operator must be equipped with a grounding strap (e.g., a “Disposable Wrist Strap” 3M, reference 2209).
THESE OPERATIONS ARE ONLY TO BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS
AUTHORISED BY ALCATEL.
Update the reference documents and labels in order for them to comply with the new
configuration.
The presence of the symbol
at the start of the description of an intervention indicates that this involves the
temporary interruption of the link.
7.1
– Use of local supervision
For the use of this function, carry out the commands indicated in sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the present Manual.
7.2
– Change of bit rate
To make this change:
– update the “Installation information” sheet required for station installation (refer to Annex 1 of the
present Manual),.
–
modify the bit rate via the “Radio Management“ screen menu (refer to section 4.7 of the present
Manual),

7.3.2 – Change of frequency in a different sub–band or band
The change of frequency in a different sub–band requires the RBS to be changed.
The change of frequency in a different band requires, in addition, the antenna(s) to be changed.
In both cases, therefore, the change of frequency requires the physical presence of the technician in each
station. The change of software configuration is carried out locally in each station.
The operations described below must be carried out in each station:
– update the “Installation information” sheet required for station installation (refer to Annex 1 of the
present Manual),
–
turn off the power to the DBS rack(s),
–
modify the Outdoor part with respect to the new configuration (exchange of RBS(s) and, where
applicable, antenna(s)), with reference to Chapter 3 of the present Manual,
–
repeat the commissioning operations by programming the new operational parameters, as indicated
in Chapter 5 of the present Manual,
–
use the 9900LT software applications to check that the duplex spacing between transmission and
reception frequencies is respected (see section 4.7),
–
validate by clicking on “Apply” and close the application,
–
use the 9900LT software applications to check the absence of alarms (see section 4.10 of the present
Manual).
