    Appendix C — LAN and DHCP Introduction This appendix describes network connections for the MT8220T BTS Master. LAN Connection The RJ48C connector is used to connect the BTS Master to a local area network. Integrated into this connector are two LEDs. The amber LED shows the presence of a 10 Mbit/s LAN connection when on, and a 100 Mbit/s LAN connection when off.

    C-3 Ethernet Configuration LAN and DHCP DHCP DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol that allows a server to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices that are connected to the network. Most networks include a DHCP server to manage IP addresses. When using DHCP, no setup is required to lease and use a dynamic IP address.

    Appendix D — Glossary of Terms Introduction The following terms are related to this product and technology. Glossary 3 dB rule : The 3 dB rule provides a means to estimate relative power values. A 3 dB gain indicates that power increases to twice the power (a multiple of 2).
  • Page 112 D-2 Glossary Glossary of Terms Antenna : Antenna is a device which radiates and/or receives radio signals, including RF, microwave, and RADAR. Antenna beamwidth : Antenna beamwidth, also known as the half-power beamwidth, is the angle of an antenna pattern or beam over which the relative power is at or above 50% of the peak power.
  • Page 113 Glossary of Terms D-2 Glossary Average power : Average power is the peak power averaged over time and is usually applied to pulsed systems where the carrier power is switched on and off. Backhaul : In wireless technology, backhaul refers to transporting voice and data traffic from a cell site to the switch.
  • Page 114 Calibration : When making measurements, the instrument must be calibrated in order to remove residual errors due to measurement setup conditions. Anritsu recommends performing the calibration under the same conditions as the measurement: temperature, frequency, number of points, source power, and IFBW. Calibrations standards with known reflection coefficients are used to calculate the correction factors.
  • Page 115 Glossary of Terms D-2 Glossary DANL : Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL): Displayed average noise level is sometimes confused with the term Sensitivity. While related, these terms have different meanings. Sensitivity is a measure of the minimum signal level that yields a defined signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or bit error rate (BER).
  • Page 116 D-2 Glossary Glossary of Terms Downlink : Downlink is the transmission path from the base station down to the mobile station. DSP : Digital Signal Processing (DSP) DTF : Distance-To-Fault (DTF) is the distance from the instrument output connector (or the end of a test lead) to a problem area, as indicated by a peak in the displayed signal.
  • Page 117 Glossary of Terms D-2 Glossary Insertion Loss : Insertion Loss (or Cable Loss) is a measure of the total amount of signal energy absorbed (lost) by the cable assembly. It is measured in dB. S21 (an S-Parameter) is another name for this measurement. IP Address : An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is usually a numerical label that is assigned to each device (computer or printer for example) that is participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for...
  • Page 118 D-2 Glossary Glossary of Terms LST : Line Sweep tools (LST) is PC-based post-processing software that efficiently manipulates line sweep and PIM traces for reporting purposes. NF : Noise Figure (NF) is a measure of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a radio frequency (RF) device.

    Glossary of Terms D-2 Glossary OTA : Over The Air (OTA): OTA refers generally to any transfer of information or signal that takes place in a wireless environment, rather than using a wired connection. OTA is usually used in connection with a standard defining the provisioning of mobile devices and applications, such as downloading or uploading content or software, and commonly used in conjunction with the Short Messaging Service (SMS).
  • Page 120 D-2 Glossary Glossary of Terms SSL : SSL or Short Short Load or Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, Load calibration method for waveguide line types uses Shorts with different offset lengths. It is a calibration (common in waveguide) with simple and redundant standards, but it is band-limited.
