TB8100 Service Kit User's Manual
Once the Service Kit is connected to a BSS, you can log on to one of its base
stations. Logging on establishes a communication session with the base station.
Data can go back and forth, for example, to display monitoring information or
to carry out a diagnostic test. However, a further step is necessary before you
can work with configuration information: you must read the base station or
open a configuration file, even to view the configuration forms.
The Log On dialog box contains a table that lists the base stations in the BSS
and a Logon details frame that lets you log on.
Each row in the base station table displays information about a base station.
LEDs indicate whether an alarm is active so that you can go first to the base
station with the alarm and monitor or diagnose the module with the alarm.
The PMU serial number is displayed in its own box, because it serves the whole
BSS.
Each module has an LED. If an LED is red, the module has an active alarm. If
it is green, there are no active alarms.
Displays the name of the base station. The LED to the left indicates whether
the whole base station has any alarms. The base station name is defined in
Configure > Base Station > General: Identification area.
The number of the base station's reciter. This defines the reciter's address on
the control bus and is set by the rotary switch on the reciter front. Reciter
number 1 is the control bus master.
The serial number of the reciter. The LED to the left indicates whether the
reciter has any alarms.
The serial number of the power amplifier. The LED to the left indicates
whether the PA has any alarms.
