Chapter 3: Configuration Guide
Muting and Unmuting the Radio (CLI)
To mute or unmute the radio, enter the following command in radio view:
radio[x/x]>rf mute set admin <admin>
To configure a timed mute, enter the following command in radio view:
radio[x/x]> rf mute set admin on-with-timer timeout-value <1-1440>
When the timer expires, the radio is automatically unmuted. A timed mute provides a fail-safe mechanism for
maintenance operations that eliminates the possibility of accidently leaving the radio muted after the
maintenance has been completed. By default, the timer is 10 minutes.
Note: In contrast to an ordinary mute, a timed mute is not persistent. This means that if the unit is
reset, the radio is not muted when the unit comes back online, even if the timer had not expired. Also, in
unit and radio protection configurations, a timed mute is not copied to the mate unit or radio, and no
mismatch alarm is raised if a timed mute is configured on only one radio in the protection pair.
To display the mute status of a radio, enter the following command in radio view:
radio[x/x]>rf mute show status

Configuring the Transmit (TX) Frequency (CLI)
To set the transmit (TX) frequency of a radio, enter the following command in radio view. This command
automatically sets the remote RX frequency in parallel, unless you set the local-remote attribute to disable:
radio[x/x]>rf set tx-frequency <tx-frequency> local-remote <local-remote>
Note: If the carrier belongs to an XPIC group, you must disable the group before changing the TX or RX
frequency.
