8. In-Service Commissioning
Before You Start
When you have finished installing the hardware, RF and the traffic interface cabling, the system is ready to
be commissioned. Commissioning the radio is a simple process and consists of:
1. Powering up the radios.
2. Configuring all radios in the network using SuperVisor.
3. Aligning the antennas.
4. Testing that the links are operating correctly.
5. Connecting up the client or user interfaces.
What You Will Need
• Appropriately qualified commissioning staff at both ends of each link.
• Safety equipment appropriate for the antenna location at both ends of each link.
• Communication equipment, that is, mobile phones or two-way radios.
• SuperVisor software running on an appropriate laptop, computer, or workstation at the base station
radio.
• Tools to facilitate loosening and re-tightening the antenna pan and tilt adjusters.
• Predicted receiver input levels and fade margin figures from the radio link budget.
