Description
This section provides an overview of the setup, configuration, and operational aspects of the
Airlink network, consisting of remote radios running Airlink Mercury software based on the
Mercury hardware platform.
The radio will ship from the factory with preset configurations.
While many aspects of a link are determined by the base station and learned by the remote
radio during network entry and regular operation (e.g. provisioning and Quality of Service),
certain elements are preconfigured in the remote radio.
There are two recommended methods of changing the configuration of the Airlink Mercury
radios:
●
Apollo (preferred) – Siemens' Graphic User Interface (GUI) – Information on
this is provided in a separate manual
●
WinSCP: Manually uploading or editing configuration files using Win SCP and
creating a new symbolic link (for advanced users):
○
WinSCP can be used as follows:
►
Upload and relink: Upload a new configuration file and relink the file
(preferred)
►
Edit & relink: Carefully edit another preexisting configuration file and relink
the file
►
Edit: the symbolic link file (which edits the linked file by default)

CONFIGURATION
CAUTION IS ADVISED WHEN MAKING CONFIGURATION CHANGES.
CONFIGURATIONS TO THE RADIO SOFTWARE ARE VERY COMPLEX
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED IN APOLLO WHICH ALLOWS ACCESS
TO A SUBSET OF CONFIGURATIONS OR BY SIEMENS CUSTOMER
SUPPORT TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONFIGURATION CHANGES
THAT CAN RENDER THE RADIOS UNUSABLE.
Temporary Non-permanent Configuration Changes (no reboot required) can
be made using the CLI. This is described in the Operations section of this
document. Information provided in this section is for non-permanent
changes to a limited number of system parameters (i.e. system reboot
reverts to the original parameters) and is intended for test purposes only.
