    5. TROUBLESHOOTING

    BASE STATION(BS) OR RADIO CONTROLLER (RC) CHECKS

    Kindly note the “Present” column which indicates the current status of RCs connected to the VNMS. A
    green tick sign means the RC is currently registered on the VNMS while a blank means the connectivity
    to the RC is down or lost. At this point, all services to the RC might be down

    Based on the received customer outage escalation, select the RC responsible and click on “configure” to
    launch the VectaStar Base Station Configuration Tool as shown below.

    The BS hardware tab shows the APs (Access points) or Sector radios connected to the RC. The “present”
    column shows the status of the APs and confirms connectivity to the RC. The green tick confirms
    connectivity while a blank means the connectivity to the AP is down or lost. At this point, all services to
    the AP might be down.
    REMOTE TERMINAL(RT) OR CPE CHECKS

    From the VectaStar Base Station Configuration Tool, select the “Users” tab to display all configured RTs
    or CPEs on the base station. The “Registered” column shows the CPEs that are successfully registered on
    the RC.

    Select the customer name and click “Configure CPE” to launch the VectaStar CPE Configuration Tool as
