| 354 | | * Base station installed |
| 355 | | * Both VLANs run to base station |
| 356 | | * Initial configuration performed using Rutgers’ Netspan installation |
| 357 | | * Largely mirrored from Rutgers’ installation |
| 358 | | * 10 MHz channel centered at 2507.5 MHz |
| 359 | | * One transmitter is reporting low output power due to RF fault |
| 360 | | * Unable to detect a signal from the base station in line-of-sight |
| 361 | | * Obtaining spectrum analyzer to verify signal output |
| 362 | | |
| 363 | | * Project Status |
| 364 | | * Greenville location: |
| 365 | | * Mounting equipment, electrical, and fiber installation estimated by July 10th |
| 366 | | * One base station untested, one experiencing startup failure |
| 367 | | |
| 368 | | * Startup failure: |
| 369 | | * One base station does not properly boot up |
| 370 | | * Upon applying power, a single UDP packet is transmitted to 192.168.0.1:6666 |
| 371 | | * This packet reveals a console session to an embedded Linux installation on the base station |
| 372 | | * No web interface is available for basic configuration |
| 373 | | * In communication with Airspan regarding repair |
| 374 | | * Hoping that another working base station can be used to reimage |
| 375 | | |
| 376 | | Other observations |
| 377 | | * After configuration, base station needed to be reset after losing Netspan connection due to power failure |
