Resetting the QuadPAC to Factory Default IP Settings
The QuadPAC is factory‐configured with default settings. This chapter describes
how to change the settings such that they are appropriate for the operator's
network.
Table 17 lists the default factory settings.

PDSN IP address (optional)
10.10.10.110
Re‐configuring the IP addresses from the default settings should be done on the
QuadPAC DO‐BTS and on the CPU module (where the RNC exists).
Changing the DO‐BTS IP address is done by using the iCell Boot Configuration
tool. The iCell Boot Configuration tool is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that
allows the IP configuration to be changed either during the first initialization,
after a factory reset (see Resetting the QuadPAC to Factory Default IP Settings), or
at any time when changes to the IP addresses are required.
Changing the RNC IP address is done by using a Linux shell (command‐line)
interface that is accessible using Secure Shell (SSH).

Appendix A: Regulatory Notices
RF Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) Exhibit
Requirements
FCC Part 1, Section 1.1307 states the following:
■
Part 22 Subpart H devices are excluded from routine environmental
evaluation when the operating total power level of all channels is less than
1640 Watts EIRP.
■
Part 24 Subpart E (Broadband PCS) devices are excluded from routine
environmental evaluation when the operating total power level of all
channels is less than 3280 Watts EIRP.
No antenna is supplied with this unit. The installer must not exceed the antenna
gain limitations related to total power requirements in order to be excluded from
routine environmental evaluation.
To comply with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements for
general population that are specified under FCC Part 1 ‐ Section 1.1310 ‐ Table 1,
the maximum power density resulting from the composite Effective Isotopic
Radiated Power (EIRP) from the antenna connected to this equipment must be
limited to the maximum permissible exposure as stated below:
Power density limit for Band Class 0 = f/1500 = 0.58 mW/cm²
Power density limit for Band Class 1 = 1 mW/cm²
This value can be achieved by multiple combinations of RF output, antenna gain,
and distance from the antenna when energized.
The minimum safe distances from a radiating structure in order to be excluded
from routine environmental evaluation are:
■
For Band Class 0 (TX: 869–894 MHz RX: 824–849 MHz)
■
■
d (safe distance) = 4.7 m
For Band Class 1 (TX: 1930 1990 MHz RX: 1850 1910 MHz)
■
d (safe distance) = 5.1 m
The MPE is expressed as follows:
Power Density Pd (mW/cm²) = EIRP/[4*Pi*d²]
Where:
■
d = distance from the antenna expressed in cm.
■
EIRP expressed in mW = 10[TX Power (dBm) + Ant Gain(dBi)]/10
■
TX Power (dBm) = 10*log[Tx Power (mW)]
As an example, with the transmitter running at 5 watts output into an antenna
with a gain of 10 dBi, the minimum safe distance from the antenna to ensure
exposure would be:
■
63 cm to remain below 1 mW/cm2 for the 1900 PCS band, and
■
83 cm to remain below 0.58 mW/cm2 for the 800 Cellular band.
When installing the antenna, the above relationship should be used to ensure the

combination of power, antenna gain, and distance is such that the maximum
permissible power density is not exceeded. Different combinations of output
power and antenna gain will result in different minimum safe distances.

The Explorer view is the default view for the CEM console. Element properties
(MIB objects) are displayed in the right‐hand pane of the CEM console main
window in configuration tabs (Properties view). See Figure 60.
CEM labels each SNMP device in the left‐hand pane of the CEM console main
window. By default the name is taken from the sysName MIB (if not blank). If the
sysName is not available, CEM uses the reverse DNS lookup for the hostname (if
not blank). If neither is available, CEM defaults to the IP address of the device.
CEM Help CEM provides several Help options including:
■
Help Menu (See Figure 60.)
The Help menu on the CEM toolbar allows access to the following

DO‐BTS Function Pop‐up Menu
The majority of CEM commands are provided in pop‐up menus accessed by
right‐clicking an element in the left‐hand pane of the CEM console main window.
Each pop‐up menu is specific to the type of element selected.
The pop‐up menu can change based on the state of the equipment. For example,
menu items may not appear when the equipment is down and some menu items
are disabled/greyed‐out when a prerequisite action has not yet been performed.
CEM displays the QuadPAC network elements as sub‐elements of the System
Name assigned to the QuadPAC.
Additional sub‐elements also provide pop‐up menus with features similar to those
described in this section. Those pop‐up menus are not documented in this guide.

Updating the Status Manually While status is typically updated automatically, you can update the status
manually to ensure the information is as current as possible. The closer the node
is to the root, the longer it takes the status to update.
To get the up‐to‐date status of a node:
1 Right‐click any node that includes a state icon.
2 Click State | Update.

Checking RNC and DO‐BTS Status Using CEM
101
Viewing the State Icons Next to each element in the explorer tree, the state of each element is indicated
by a single colored square, or state icon. The Operational State icon is the default
state icon displayed in the explorer tree. Figure 60 shows an example.
The element status propagates to the top level of the element hierarchy in the
explorer tree. For example, a yellow state icon means that an element in the
present folder or the sub‐folder below it has at least one element or device in the
red state. The operational state is updated in an operator‐defined interval, or on
demand.
To view the administrative, operational, and usage states using the state icons in
the explorer tree:
1 In the CEM explorer tree, click on the node to be viewed.
2 View the Operational State icon beside the node. (See Table 23 for color
definitions.)
