Radio Clusters Page

The Radio Clusters page enables viewing and configuring the parameters of all available Radio Clusters.

Radio Cluster is a logical entity used to describe and support management of the Base Station's elements associated with specific geographical sectors. A Radio Cluster represents one or several ODUs that serve (through their directional antennas) the same geographical sector.

The Radio Cluster(s) must be defined prior to defining the relevant ODU(s), AU(s) and Channel(s).

The Radio Clusters table includes the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

ID

A read-only display of the Radio Cluster's ID, which is a number used to identify the Radio Cluster. The range is from 1 to 6 in a modular modular Base Station, or 1 to 4 in a Micro Base Station.

Name

A string of up to 32 printable characters used as the descriptive name of the Radio Cluster. This is an optional descriptive parameter. It is recommended to define a unique name for each Radio Cluster to support identification of defined Radio Cluster in the BS/MBS View page.

Location

A string of up to 255 printable characters used to describe the location of the Radio Cluster. This is an optional descriptive parameter.

Sector Heading

The direction of the geographical sector, defined in degrees from the north. This is an optional descriptive parameter.

The values range is from 0 to 359 (degrees from north).

Beam Width

The beam width, in degrees, of the antenna(s) used in the geographical sector. This is an optional descriptive parameter.

The values range is from 0 to 359 (degrees).
