Subscriber Provisioning

Link Acquisition

On initialization and or after signal loss, the Subscriber Station (SS) acquires a downlink channel. The last operational parameters are stored in the SS and it first tries to reacquire this downlink channel. If this fails, it begins to continuously scan the possible channels of the downlink frequency band of operation until it finds a valid downlink signal.

Note - this channel scan is a useful tool used (with other tools) for:

• SS Auto Provisioning – where the operator is not asked to set the SS specific parameters such as the frequency channel

• Support for Nomadic Applications - where the SS is turned off and then turned on in another channel which may use a different frequency channel

• Support for BS TRx Redundancy Applications – where the SS loses connectivity with a BS TRx radio and may need to work with a BS TRx radio which may use a different frequency channel
