Disabling and enabling the wireless interface
This section describes how to disable wireless transmission (prevent antenna radiation)
and enable wireless transmission (allow antenna radiation).
Disabling wireless transmission
This is necessary when maintenance work is needed near the antenna. To disable wireless
transmission, select menu option Configuration. The System Configuration page is
displayed (Figure 172). Select Mute Transmitter. The Transmitter attribute value
changes to ‘Muted’.
Wireless transmission can also be disabled from the Protection Configuration page
(Figure 136), for both protected and unprotected links.
In a 1+1 Hot Standby link, disable protection switchover before disabling wireless
transmission (see Enabling and disabling fault protection on page 7-43). Otherwise, a
switchover to the inactive unit may occur when the wireless interface is muted. Re-enable
protection switchover when wireless transmission is re-enabled.
Enabling wireless transmission
This is necessary to restart the link when maintenance work is complete. To enable
wireless transmission, select menu option Configuration. The System Configuration page
is displayed (Figure 189). Select Enable Transmitter. The Transmitter attribute value
changes to ‘Enabled’.
Wireless transmission can also be enabled from the Protection Configuration page (Figure
136), for both 1+1 Hot Standby and unprotected links.
