RRH Polling/Configuration
Query performance and configuration information from the RRH at
the top of tower.
yy Applications — troubleshoot problems by retrieving RRH information
via the CPRI link under test
yy Information retrieved:
−− RRH serial number — retrieve RRH information, useful for inventory,
warranty information and validation of correct equipment
−− RRH description attributes — validate RRH configuration and vendor
information
−− Carrier configuration — retrieve the technology, uplink/downlink
frequency, downlink power and noise results from the RRH
−− Software version — verify the correct software is installed on the RRH

Antenna Tilt (RET) and VSWR
Verify proper antenna installation, isolate RF noise, and verify VSWR
results.
yy Applications — Retrieve antenna tilt settings from the CPRI link under
test; modify antenna tilt while measuring uplink spectrum for noise and
interference; retrieve VSWR readings measured by the RRH (CellAdvisor
only)
yy Key benefits — verification and accurate modifications of antenna
electrical tilt; isolation/mitigation of RF noise or interference;
determination of the health of the antenna and feed-line system by
measuring VSWR
