Omni Antenna
The RFS Omni antenna is installed on a structure, such as a tower or a pole, which is defined in
the site survey and design. Following are the steps to complete the installation of the panel
antenna. Refer to the Regulatory Information in Chapter 1, Page 8 prior to installing.
Assemble the Antenna Mount per the instructions that come with it (Figure 43). Use a compass
to determine which direction is true East (incorporating declination angle - see Figure 31).
Position the Antenna Mount in a direction to provide accessibility to the RFS after it is installed.
Position and install the Antenna Mount on the mounting structure so that any one of the eight
mounting hole pins is facing East. Tighten the Antenna Mount hardware to secure it to the
structure (Figure 44).
Sweep the RFS antenna inputs for dB loss. Record all results for later calculations. Position the
RFS on the Antenna Mount, ensuring that the arrow on the bottom of the Antenna Mount faces
true East. Secure the RFS antenna to the Antenna Mount (Figure 45). Install surge protectors on
the 8 antenna and 1 cal connectors.
Connect the eight antenna cables, cal cable, and Data/Power cable to the RFS antenna. Attach the
ground wire to the ground stud. Install grounding kits from RF cables to buss bars. Sweep the
antenna and cables from the RF cable connectors that attach to the BTS. Record all
measurements. Weatherize all connections (Figure 46).
Verify Installed Circuit Cards
WARNING! Ensure that power to the BTS chassis is off before installing the
circuit cards or any of the RF Power Amplifiers in the chassis.
FUSES ARE NOT FIELD-REPLACEABLE. In case of need to replace a fuse on a CHP (F1),
CC (F33, F17-32), SYN (F3), MDM (F1) or PA (F1) contact Navini Networks Technical
Support
CAUTION! For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the
same type and rating of fuse.
ATTENTION! Pour ne pas compromettre la protection contre les risques
d’incendie, remplacer par un fusible du même type et des mêmes caractéristiques
nominales.
CAUTION! - Please contact Navini Technical support before attempting to
exchange cards between chassis of different type and frequency to verify
compatibility.
The circuit cards, including the RF/PA cards, normally come seated in the BTS chassis. If they
67
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
are already installed, verify that the correct cards are placed and seated properly. The RF/PA
modules may be installed in any position on the top (RF) shelf. For the Digital shelf, refer to
Figure 47 for correct card placement. Table 4 describes the name of each type of card in the
Digital shelf.
Tighten the screws to secure the RF/PAs into the RF shelf. For the circuit cards, follow the
markings on the backplane for the position of each card in the Digital shelf. Make sure the
ejectors on all cards are engaged in the chassis. Figure 46 represents a fully populated Digital
shelf. If the BTS is not fully populated, blank panels are installed to fill in the empty card space.
They are also used to fill in the empty space between the circuit cards and the end of the cabinet.

Base Station Installation Certification
When the installation of the equipment is complete, the Base Station Installation Certification
form needs to be completed and signed off by both the installer and the customer. A copy of the
first part of this form (check-up list) may be found in Appendix O. The second part (serial
numbers) is contained in the “I&C Closeout Tool” described in Appendix V.
69

Chapter 3: Commissioning
This chapter provides post-installation instructions on provisioning, configuring, calibrating,
testing, and commissioning the Ripwave Base Station.
Review Customer Network Plans
As part of preparing to put the BTS into commission, it is important to review the actual installed
site against the customer Network Architecture Plan - i.e., checking that all equipment and
software are installed and available for use. Verify that all routers are installed and IP addresses
are correct. Finally, make sure the installation is approved and signed off by all responsible
parties.
Install EMS Server
The EMS is the management interface for all elements in the Ripwave system. The EMS Server
has to be installed on a computer that is connected directly to the Base Station (called the Test
EMS) or through the system backhaul (customer EMS).
For testing purposes, the Test EMS Server is connected through an Ethernet hub or switch to the
Ethernet port found on the front of the BTS (Figure 48). Note that the EMS Server does not
support more than one Network Interface Card (NIC).
The other port on the front of the CC card is a Serial (Universal Data) Port, also known as the
Console Port. Using a laptop/portable computer connected through the data port, an on-site
technician can communicate directly with the BTS using a terminal emulation software package.
However, this is not recommended. It is always best to rely on the EMS interface for BTS
information.
When connecting the Ripwave equipment to the backhaul, refer to the Regulatory Information in
Chapter 1, Page 8 – specifically regarding cabling to Ethernet or T1 backhauls. Ethernet
connections require a UL497B listed protection device to be installed between the BTS and the
first network device. T1 connections must be routed from the BTS through a UL497 listed
protection device at the demarcation point. The interconnect cables for T1 backhauls must be a
minimum #26 AWG wire, in accordance with NEC/CEC standards.

If the customer’s EMS is installed and can be accessed through the backhaul, it can be connected
via T1 or Ethernet to the BTS and used for testing purposes. The EMS software installation
procedures can be found in the EMS Software Installation Guide, P/N 40-00017-00.
After the EMS Server and Client applications are installed, the EMS database needs to be
configured with the settings that are designated for the Base Station. The settings are found in the
Network Architecture Plan provided by the customer.
Verify Cable Connections
Before proceeding, verify that all power is connected and present. Ensure that all T1 or Ethernet
connections are installed correctly and are active. Verify that the BTS and the RFS are properly
installed and that all cables are connected.

Configure & Power Up the BTS
Overview
During initial power up a minimal set of configuration parameters have to be input to the BTS
through the serial port on the CC card. These early configuration parameters are referred to as
the “boot parameters”. They are required to get the BTS to communicate with the EMS Server so
that all the configuration data can be downloaded from EMS to the BTS.
The PC used at this point is a Test EMS Server (i.e., laptop). If the customer’s actual EMS
Server is available, a separate Test EMS (i.e., laptop) may not be necessary. For simplification,
whether it is a Test EMS laptop or the customer’s EMS Server, we refer to the device at this
stage as the Test EMS. Datafill planning forms are provided in Appendix P.
Set Up the Test EMS
Typically, in order to keep a constant link an Ethernet hub (10/100 Base-T) connects the Test
EMS to the BTS via a male to female RS-232 cable connected to the CC serial port. A
connection between the serial port on the CC and the serial port on the Test EMS is also used.
Standard communication software, i.e., a standard terminal emulation program, such as Windows
HyperTerm or TeraTerm, is used during these early configuration stages.
Step 1.
Verify all RF cables going to the BTS are securely connected to the proper connector.
Step 2.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector located on the CC card and to an
Ethernet hub. Connect another Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to the Ethernet
connector on the PC containing the Test EMS Server and Client applications.
Step 3.
Connect an RS-232 cable (DB-9 male to female) to the serial port (UART) located on
the CC card to the serial port connector on the Test EMS computer.
Note: A VT 100 terminal or any standard Windows based ASCII terminal emulation
program can be used for connecting to the serial port. The connection for
HyperTerminal is explained here. The steps to get to the HyperTerminal program may
be different due to variances in the Operating Systems and in the setup of the PC.
Step 4.
Power on the Test EMS Server.
Step 5.
On the desktop, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal >
HyperTerminal (using whichever terminal emulation program you are running).
Step 6.
In the COM1 Properties window (Figure 49), under the Port Settings tab, enter the
following configuration options. Click OK.
72
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
Step 7.
On the Test EMS Server, click on the Server icon to start the EMS Server. NOTE: This
step assumes you have loaded and configured the EMS Server & Client applications.
Step 8.
Click on the EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager (CAM) icon to start the EMS
Client GUI.
Step 9.
At the EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager login screen, enter the user name and
password. The defaults are both emsAdmin.
Add BTS in EMS
Once you have the CAM application running on the Test EMS server, you will need to click on
the BTS element tab to add the new BTS. Only the minimal configuration parameters have to be
completed at this time - i.e., BTS name, ID, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. Follow the
Network Architecture Plan designed for this system.
Also configure the GPS offset time. The default is 0 minutes, indicating the BTS would be
located in the same time zone as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Change this value to whatever
time is appropriate to the location of the BTS in relation to GMT time zone. For example, if the
BTS is located in Dallas, Texas, which is 6 hours behind GMT time zone, you would enter –360.
As you will see in the section that follows, you will also configure the RFS splitter loss at this
time. For more details about configuring a BTS, refer to the Ripwave Configuration Guide.
RFS Configuration (Power Splitter Loss and W0 Values)
Each RFS shipped is pre-programmed for the customer’s specific operating environment. An
RFS Configuration floppy disk accompanies the RFS equipment when it is shipped. This floppy
disk includes an RFS script and a Quick Guide with procedures on selecting the appropriate
splitter loss values to be entered into the EMS database for the given Base Station. Each
Configuration disk is unique to the individual RFS that is shipped. You cannot use the same disk
on other RFS equipment.
RFS Configuration Procedure
Step 1.
Remove the RFS Configuration disk from the RFS packaging, and insert it in the
floppy drive of the Test EMS.
Step 2.
Copy the folder named “RFS” that is on the disk to the Test EMS Server:
/scripts.
It will take approximately 20 seconds to complete.
Step 3.
Open the new folder on the EMS server. You will see a list of file names. The format
of the file names is as follows:
73
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
RFS_serial number_frequency.cli
Example: “RFS_024300001_2402500.cli” - This example of the configuration file is
for an RFS with serial number 024300001 and a center frequency of 2.4025.
Verify the correct serial number in the file name against the serial number of the RFS
equipment. The equipment serial number may be found on the back of the RFS panel
or on the side of the bottom cylinder of the omni antenna.
Determine which file you need to run, depending on the provisioned frequency of your BTS.
Step 4.
NOTE: For 2.6 GHz systems, select the frequency that is closest to your provisioned
center frequency. To find the provisioned center frequency for your BTS, open the
EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager (CAM) application. Select the BTS tab and
specific BTS, then Air Interface / Layer 2 / Carrier Data / Show Configuration. This
will display the center frequency information.
Step 5.
Open the selected CLI file for editing using any text processing application program.
Note the power splitter and W0 values listed there (i.e., write them down or print them
out).
Step 6.
Modify the line that starts with “bts” by changing the BTS ID for your BTS. The
default is “BTS 1”. For example, if the ID for your BTS is 252, change the “1” to
“252”.
Save this file as text, and then close it.
Start the EMS CONFIG CLI application. To configure your BTS with the RFS
information, enter the following commands
>enable  
>configure
>script scripts/rfs/rfs__<7-digit frequency>.cli
Step 7.
Step 8.
NOTE: For Unix operating systems, the CLI text is case sensitive and the slash marks
should be backward slashes instead of forward slashes
Step 9.
View the Power Splitter values in EMS to verify that the CLI script ran as expected.
The Power Splitter values may be found under Layer 1 / Show Configuration >
Antenna Table. You will need to “Refresh” the active screen to view the updated
information.
Step 10. View the w0 Table values in EMS to verify that the CLI script ran as expected. The w0
values may be found under Layer 1 / Show Configuration > w0 Table. You will need to
“Refresh” the active screen to view the updated information.
Step 11. Type “Exit” twice to exit the Config CLI edit mode.

Power Up BTS
Now you are ready to power up the BTS.
Step 1.
Ensure that input power has been connected to the BTS.
Step 2.
Switch the Power to ON. If the BTS is a Combo Chassis, the switch is located on the
top right front of the BTS. The green Power On light next to the switch will illuminate
(Figure 50).
If the BTS is a Split Chassis, the Power ON switch is located on the back lower middle
of the Digital shelf. The green LEDs on the RF/PA modules and the circuit cards in the
BTS chassis should illuminate.
The Power switch for the TTA is located on the lower middle back of the chassis.
Step 3.
Watch for the auto-boot countdown command. Type in config on the computer
keyboard to interrupt the standard boot sequence. The window of time to type in
“config” after auto-boot starts is 20 seconds.
BTS Bootup
The BTS is shipped with a default value of a 20-second countdown to interrupt the standard
bootup sequence. You can escape the standard bootup when the display shows the following:
autoboot countdown : quick [quick|delayed]
To escape the initialization sequence, type in config before the 20-second counter reaches zero.
Note: Under the next section, “Boot Prompt”, you will see how to disable the 20-second
countdown in lieu of a shorter, 1-second countdown. This will minimize downtime
during unattended restart conditions, for example, if there is a power outage and the BTS
is recovering.
Boot Prompt
After you have escaped from the automated boot sequence, the console will display a
rudimentary Boot prompt:
[Navini Boot]:
This prompt offers the ability to perform a small set of operations. Enter ‘?’ or ‘h’ followed by
the Enter key to display a list of commands (Exhibit 1). To invoke any of the commands, simply
enter the single letter command with optional parameters, followed by the Enter key.

General
The general section offers you the ability to change the date and time manually. If a GPS has
been installed, the BTS will automatically set the date and time:
date and time
: 08/21/2002[13:21] MM/dd/yyyy[hh:mm]
When this line is displayed, the current date (08/21/2002) and time [13:21] are displayed. Accept
the defaults by pressing the Enter key, or enter “date” at the console and a new value using the
format indicated in military time (Hours 1-24). All 5 fields must be entered as specified. Leading
zeroes can be omitted.
Previously, it was mentioned that the 20-second auto-boot countdown timer can be disabled and
a 1 second countdown can be used instead. To enable this feature, change the autoboot
countdown item from “delayed” (which is 20 seconds) to “quick”, which is 1 second:
autoboot countdown : delayed [quick|delayed]
EMS
This section concerns the configuration of the EMS Server itself. First, the Internet (inet) IP
address of the Server is specified. Make sure to fill this field with the address of the Server used
to configure this BTS. Your BTS is shipped with this field un-initialized. You must provide a
valid 4-digit IP address before you can proceed. For example:
ems inet
: 172.16.0.10
77
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
The second parameter that you must specify to allow the EMS Server to recognize this BTS is a
community string for the EMSs Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface. The
default community string shipped with the BTS is “public”. Press the Enter key to accept this
default, or type in a new value and press the Enter key to alter it:
snmp community
: public
Traffic Path
The last major block of configurations required for an Ethernet backhaul to the BTS is the traffic
path parameters. The first prompt instructs the BTS to use the Ethernet as the WAN (backhaul)
configuration. It must be set to “enet” for an Ethernet backhaul.
If “atm” is selected, proceed with the description in the ATM or IMA sections. The BTS is preconfigured to use Ethernet for the WAN connection. Press the Enter key to accept this default:
traffic path
: enet [enet|atm]
The BTS address is specified next. Every BTS must be uniquely addressed and have values that
equate in the EMS configurations. This address information defines the Layer 2 parameters first,
and then it defines the Layer 3 parameters. For Layer 2, you are only given an opportunity to see
the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address used by this BTS. This is a unique number
programmed in the BTS. You cannot alter it. However, situations may develop in which you
need to know the MAC address and, therefore, need to display the information. For example:
mac address
: 00:04:6a:00:01:20
Next are the IP addresses that represent this BTS: one for the active CC card and one for the
standby CC card. Enter the IP for the active controller card, for 172.16.23.181, and the next IP
(172.16.23.182) is automatically assigned to the Standby card.
ip on enet (active) : 172.16.23.181
ip on enet (standby) : 172.16.23.182
The standby field is only displayed for your convenience and cannot be altered. Note that the
BTS automatically handles switching the address when a failure occurs on an active Controller
card, requiring the standby Controller to go into service. However, the MAC addresses remain
fixed.
Coupled with any IP configuration is a need to specify the corresponding subnet mask. Refer to
common network administration literature for guides on addresses, networks, masks, and
gateways. In short, the subnet mask identifies the portion of the IP address that is common to
those devices connected to the same Ethernet. The most important “other” device is the BTSs
78
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
default gateway (specified later).
The portion is identified using a logical “and” of the mask with the address. For example, a
subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and with an IP address of 172.16.23.182 yields a network of
172.16.x.x. In this case, the default gateway must also be on the 172.16.x.x network. The BTS
requires that this association be met. If not, you will be asked to try again.
netmask on enet
: 255.255.0.0
The BTS uses a high-speed Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection to communicate with
the redundant T1/Controller Card. This interface is only used internally and has a fixed subnet
mask of 255.255.255.252.
The host portion of the address –that is, the least significant 2 bits– is automatically provided by
the software based upon slot ID. However, you may want to alter the default network address to
avoid conflict with your network.
The BTS is shipped with the 10.0.0.0 network as the internal network. This is a reserved network
not used on the Internet. However, if your private network utilizes this private address space, you
may need to change it to avoid the conflict.
ip on backplane
: 10.0.0.1
As for the default gateway for the BTS, all traffic routed outside the directly connected Ethernet
port goes through the gateway. Furthermore, the gateway must be reachable on the directly
connected Ethernet port. Therefore, the BTS will prevent you from entering a default gateway
address that fails the logical “and” test discussed previously. This address is specified on the line
item shown below:
gateway on enet
: 172.16.0.100
ATM/T1 Configuration
For an ATM/T1 configuration, the items shown in Exhibit 3 are identical to Ethernet with the
exception of the traffic path, which must show “atm” for this type of configuration.

netmask on atm
: 255.255.0.0
When ATM is selected for the WAN interface using the traffic mode parameter, an additional set
of parameters is required (Exhibit 6). First of all, another IP address must be identified for the
ATM interface. The ATM IP address cannot be the same as the Ethernet IP address. In this case,
the Ethernet IP address is only used for debug purposes and is a non-routed interface. This means
that the BTS can only reach other computers directly connected to the Ethernet port of the BTS.
The only routed interface available is through the ATM port. This routed interface address is
specified with the “ip on atm” line item and the corresponding netmask parameter (Exhibit 4).
The information on network address specifications from the Ethernet Configuration section of
this chapter applies to ATM as well. For ATM, the only gateway allowed for the BTS is on the
ATM interface, as specified here.

172.17.0.100
For an ATM system, the BTS must have some additional configuration for the Management
Private Virtual Channel (Management PVC). Recall the boot parameter philosophy discussed
before. The boot parameters only identify those settings required to allow the BTS to reach the
EMS. Note that the boot parameters only allow specification for one PVC (the Management
PVC), which is used to reach the EMS.
All user traffic PVC parameters are specified in the EMS configuration. Ensure that the EMS
parameters for the Management PVC match those being set here through the boot prompt. If not,
as soon as connection is made with the EMS, the Management PVC will be reconfigured and can
potentially disconnect the BTS from the network.
The PVC configuration is broken into 3 sections: ATM layer parameters; optional Inverse
Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) parameters, and T1 physical layer parameters. The first item
selects which ATM interface will be used for the Management PVC. If IMA is not selected, you
may select from one of the 8 T1 ports numbered 1-8 using the option t1-N, where N is the port
number. This is the same interface port number specified in the EMS. If IMA is desired,
reference the following section:
pvc type-atm i/f
: t1-0 [t1-(1-8)|ima-(1-2)]
80
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
The circuit identifier for this segment of the Management PVC is the next item specified. The
first parameter identifies the maximum number of bits for any PVCs identifier Virtual Path
Identifier/ Virtual Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) pair. The BTS restricts the available set to 13
total bits. However, you are free to divide those 13 bits between the VPI and VCI as needed,
with the VPI having a maximum allocation of 8 bits. You can choose the number of bits for each
by selecting two values separated by a “:”. Or you may select the BTS default of 3 VPI bits and
10 VCI bits by pressing the Enter key:
pvc id size vpi:vci : 3:10 [1-8:1-13]
Having specified the number of significant VPI and VCI bits, now select the actual identifier.
The BTS will restrict the values entered for the VPI and VCI to the ranges you selected in the
previous size specification. For instance, if 3:10 is selected as a size allocation, the VPI must be
between 0 and 7.
Again, you can select the values for the VPI and VCI separated by a “:” or accept the default
value of VPI = 1 and VCI = 100 by pressing the Enter key. Be careful not to use the reserved
VCI values from 0-15 that are often used in ATM networks for Operation, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM) purposes.
pvc vpi:vci
: 1:100 [0-255:16-8192]
The service category for the Management PVC is specified next. The choices are Unspecified Bit
Rate (UBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). Other ATM service categories are available for traffic
PVCs, but those are specified in the EMS configuration. UBR and CBR both require a set data
rate and delay variation parameter. The data rate is specified in cells per second in the ATM
Traffic Contract’s Peak Cell Rate (PCR) field. The delay variation is in the ATM Cell Delay
Variation Tolerance (CDVT) in the ATCs CDVT field. Specify the PCR and the CDVT values
separated by a “:” or chose the default by pressing the Enter key.
pvc service category : ubr [cbr|ubr]
pvc atc pcr:cdvt : 3641:100 [1-3641:0-100]
The final set of values is used to configure the T1 parameters. The line type allows you to select
Extended Super-Frame (ESF) or D4. ESF format is the standard format for ATM/T1
applications. D4 format is supported as an alternate; however, T1 signaling capabilities may be
limited. Check your network plans for a definition for your specific application.
line type
: esf [esf|d4]
Additionally, you must choose a line coding type:
line coding
: b8zs [b8zs|ami]
The approximate length of the T1 line is specified next. It is used to control the signal
conditioning used on the T1:
81
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
line length (ft)
: 500
Finally, the T1s timing source must be specified. A T1 uses only one timing source either at the
near-end or far-end of the line. You may select the BTS as the originator of the timing source by
selecting “local”, or you may select the far-end as the timing reference by selecting “loop”.
line clock source
: loop [loop|local]
IMA Configuration
If you decide to utilize IMA groups to pool the T1 resources, then the same parameters described
for the ATM/T1 Configuration above also apply to configuring IMAs. Refer to Exhibit 5.

In addition, the ATM interface must be specified as IMA and reference one of two IMA groups
used for the Management PVC. This IMA group must match what is identified in the EMS. Use
“0” for the first group and “1” for the second group.
Each group identifies a set of T1 ports that are being combined to form one larger virtual port.
For the sake of boot parameter specification, ALL T1 interfaces for the Management PVCs IMA
group are assumed to be identical. So the parameters for T1 specifications apply to all T1s of the
IMA group:
pvc type-atm i/f
: ima-0
Once the IMA interface is selected, a set of IMA parameters must be specified for the IMA
group used by the Management PVC. An IMA group inherently supports dynamic addition and
drops of individual T1 facilities from the group to facilitate fault tolerance to failed T1 facilities.
The minimum number of T1 ports, or links, that must exist for the IMA group to function is
specified here. A value from 1-7 is required for each one of the receive and transmit directions.
Separate the values with “:”. You can increase the values from the default of 1 link in each
direction or accept the default by pressing the Enter key.
82
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
ima min rx:tx links : 1:1 [1-7:1-7]
Next, specify which T1 ports are used to form the IMA group. This is a list of T1 port identifiers
(1-8), each separated by commas. The BTS makes sure you enter at least as many links as you
specified for the minimum requirements above:
selected ima links : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
The near- and far-end IMA protocols use an ID number to identify each other. This value must
agree with that provisioned at the far-end of the IMA link. The BTS defaults to a value of 0, but
you can specify any value from 0 to 255:
ima group id
: 0 [0-255]
Group symmetry modes allow symmetric or asymmetric operation of IMA links:
ima symmetry
: sym [sym|asym|asym-cfg]
IMA frame length specifies the size of the IMA frames that are being transmitted:
ima frame length
: 128 [32|64|128]
The IMA alpha/beta/gamma parameters are used by the IMA frame synchronization mechanism.:
ima alpha:beta:gamma : 2:2:1 [1-2:1-5:1-5]
The IMA clock mode selects either a common or independent IMA clock mode (Exhibit 6). It is
the same as for ATM/T1.

Standard Boot Sequence
The first items in Exhibit 7 (Ethernet) and Exhibit 8 (ATM) illustrate the BOOTROM loading
and launching of the core application. This is a fixed process that cannot be altered in the field.
Auto-booting is the process that can be escaped by user intervention, (i.e., enter “config”), in
83
Navini Networks, Inc.
Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide
order to enter the boot prompt. Without user intervention, the remaining sequence occurs
automatically; hence, “auto-boot”.

The line items in Exhibit 9 are the ones that create and initialize the core components to the
BTSs on-board file system. This file system is used to store operating code images, configuration
data, and log files. The BTS Operating System software handles the images, data, and files and
does not require operator assistance.
There are three on-board file systems’ FLASH and RAM drives. The FLASH drive is at /tffs0
and the two RAM drives use /dev0 and /dev1. All on-board file system drives have dedicated
functions and should not be altered or used through manual operations.

The sequence shown in Exhibit 10 initializes the TCP/IP stack on the BTS. The TCP, UDP, IP,
and ARP protocol stacks are created. Interfaces for the stack are then created and attached to the
stack. Three or four interfaces are created depending on the selection for “traffic path” in the
boot parameters.
The Fast Ethernet Controller, fec (0), is created and attached for the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the
BTS. If “atm” is selected, then a WAN Ethernet Controller, WEC (0), is also created and
attached to the stack to perform RFC1483 Ethernet bridging onto the ATM interface. Internally,
the BTS utilizes a high-speed SLIP interface, sl (0), to provide communication between
redundant devices. Finally, a debug local loopback interface, lo (0), is created and attached.

Next, the user interface through the console port on the BTS is activated. It should be noted
however, that once the Telnet Daemon has been started, this same interface is available remotely
through a password protected telnet session. You can access the remote shell service by
telnetting directly to the well-known Telnet port (23) of the BTS:

This invokes a suite of tools accessible by the Navini developers to assess runtime loads of
various components in the system:

The BTS is equipped with a rich suite of logs that are automatically collected for analysis by
Navini developers in the unlikely event a crash occurs. This line item invokes the automatic log
collection:
Initializing System Logger................Done
The core software is separated into operating system initialization and Ripwave application
software that provides OAM and bridging functionality. This line item identifies the transition
point from OS initialization to the point where the OS begins spawning application level tasks:
Starting Application......................Done
The next task provides an interface to the Logical Link Control (LLC) on the MDM card and
forms a conduit for all message and user traffic from the CC to MDM card.
Starting LLC I/f..........................Done
A Command and Debug Interface is initialized to extend rudimentary target shell capabilities for
Navini developers to diagnose problems with the Digital Signal Processors on the MDM and
CHP cards:

The Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is used to provide mappings of users to channels. This
mapping interface is started at this point:

this point:
Starting EtherBridge......................Done
Network layer protocol security and mobility applications are handled by specialized protocol
handler components. Various modes of operation are configurable through the EMS and provide
such services as DHCP address learning and authentication assistance via the DHCP Relay
Agent, Proxy ARP broadcast security, and network layer mobility support. These components
are started at this point:

An LLC Proxy is an object that provides relay service via the LLC IF conduit to the MDM card.
Objects on the CC card can communicate with an object on the MDM card directly using such a
proxy. Several such proxied objects exist and are created with this message:
Starting LLC Proxy........................Done
As the CC card downloads and initializes the DSPs on the MDM and CHP cards, each
component is identified with a “Loading” message:
Loading LLC...............................Done
The next item that appears notifies the user of the location where the BTS is retrieving its
Management Information Base (MIB). After initial installation and provisioning through the boot
line, “EMS” is selected as the Config Data Source. In this case, all remaining parameters are
downloaded from the EMS.
Once the BTS and EMS have synchronized and ownership of individual elements in the MIB
negotiated, subsequent reboots of the BTS will indicate the local “BTS” copy of the MIB is
being used. This reduces the burden and start-up time of a system-wide restart:
Selecting Config Data Source as BTS ......Done
Once the MIB information is identified, the SNMP agent is initialized. At this point, the EMS
can begin communicating with the BTS via this agent:
Initializing SNMP Agent ..................Done
The BTS tests that a path through the WAN exists to its EMS Server. That test is identified next
in the sequence. If the EMS is selected as the Config Data Source, the initialization cannot
continue. If the “BTS” is selected as the data source, the BTS can continue to initialize.

Calibrate the Base Station
Calibrating the Base Station detects the phase differential between the antenna elements and
matches the output power across all antenna elements in the RFS. In TTA BTSs, if the
“Calibration Coefficients” feature is enabled, the transmit power level for all the subcarriers is
also equalized. The calibration procedure must be performed at least three times to verify
consistency of the returned values. Ensure that the BTS has been powered on with the power
amplifiers on for at least fifteen minutes to allow them time to warm up and stabilize (twenty
minutes in the case of a TTA BTS to allow enough time for the new software to be loaded in all
the RFCs)
Calibration Procedure
To calibrate the BTS, follow the steps in the procedure below. Refer to the Ripwave
Configuration Guide, as needed.
Step 1.
On the Test EMS, click on the Server icon to start the EMS Server.
Step 2.
Click on the EMS Configuration icon to start the EMS Client GUI.
Step 3.
At the EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager login screen, enter the user name and
password. The defaults are emsAdmin / emsAdmin.
Step 4.
Verify that Antenna Power, RX Sensitivity, and Cal Cable Loss values are entered in

the fields in the EMS. NOTE: The Power Splitter Loss was entered when you
performed the RFS configuration earlier.
Step 5.
Click on the BTS that is being installed to select it. Right-click on the highlighted BTS
and select Action > Configure. Refer to Figure 51.
Figure 51: Select BTS
Step 6.
Click on Air Interface > Layer 1, and then click Calibrate. In the resulting dialog box
(Figure 52), select FULL CALIBRATION and Calibrate.

Step 7.
When the Warning window appears (Figure 53), click Yes.

Step 8.
The Full Calibration window appears during system calibration (Figure 54). When
calibration is complete, the Full Calibration window changes and displays the finish
time and the result. Click the Close button to close the Full Calibration window. Note
that the result of “Done” does not mean that the system passed calibration.

Step 9.
Click Show Configuration and select the Antenna Table tab (Figure 55). Check the Tx
Gain and Rx Gain columns (the last two columns in the table) for transmit and receive
results. The transmit and receive results for all the eight antennas must be between 1
and 254. The eight values in each column should be relatively close to each other. A
value of zero indicates a problem with the associated antenna path.

Step 10. Perform the calibration function two more times. Ensure each time that the values
remain relatively stable (+/- 3), and that none of the results is zero. After you perform
the second calibration, click on Configure. The Config Layer 1 Data window (Figure
56) shows the data from the second calibration. The values in the main screen from the
Show Config selection are from the first calibration. Compare the values from the two
calibrations to ensure that they are stable, and not equal to zero.
