RET Identification at site

• Installation team needs to record during installation:

- Antenna:
• Model & Serial Number
• Which Sector and Number of the Antenna (behind of antenna RIGHT to LEFT)
- Smart BiasT: Model & Serial Number
- External RET:
• Model & Serial Number
• Which Antenna, Which RET port RET is installed
- Good Practice:
• Installation team uses marker pen and writes back off the antenna:
- Sector, Ant No, Azimuth, Mechanical TILT

RET Identification at site

• Kathrein RET and Antennas

- Record the RET serial number that it can be identified during commissioning
- Latest Kathrein Antenna and RET has RFID feature, it’ll automatically identifies antenna definition
parameters from Kathrein antenna
- If RFID feature doesn’t work, use attached antenna definition files during RET commissioning
- 4-port antenna 80010622v01has 2 antenna definition files. Use for Y1 = LEFT & Y2 = RIGHT
