Introduction 1.1
Scope and Audience
This document describes the physical specifications and initial installation of the Professional Development Kit series (part number 2110-xx1-x) units. This manual does not cover full unit configuration or any significant aspects of GSM/VoIP operation. For those topics, see the OpenBTS software manual. This document is intended for use by researchers, developers, and laboratory specialists. It assumes a general familiarity with the Linux operating system and IP networking.
1.2 1.2.1
Disclaimers Errors and Future Changes
Although the information in this manual has been carefully checked for accuracy, and is believed to be correct and current, no warranty, either express or implied, is made as to either its applicability to, or its compatibility with, specific requirements; nor does Range Networks, Inc. assume any responsibility for correctness of this information, or for damages consequent to its use. All design characteristics, specifications, tolerances, and the like are subject to change without notice.
1.2.2
Radio Interference
Operation of improperly configured cellular equipment can result in interference to existing services, possibly interrupting public networks and public safety systems, even though the output power of the Professional Development Kit is relatively low. Range Networks, Inc. cannot insure that any of the procedures in this manual will not result in radio interference to other services and networks.

BTS OPERATION
Initial Testing
The default Professional Development Kit configuration provides several tests that can be run independently of the network, with no backhaul: 1. location updating test, 2. mobile-originated loopback test, 3. mobile-originated call, 4. mobile-terminated delivery of SMS, with and without a parallel call, and 5. autoprovisioning of an handset via SMS. See the “Test Procedures” chapter in the corresponding software manual for detailed description of these test procedures.
