Section 7

Changing the Electrical Downtilt on a Group of Antennas

In addition to changing the downtilt of a single antenna, changes may also be applied to a group of antennas. The list of antennas that make up the group is defined by three configuration parameters – Sector ID, Minimum Electrical Tilt, and Maximum Electrical Tilt. Only antennas that are identical in all three parameters are candidates for a given group move.

1.Select a device from the ‘Device Information’ list that contains the Sector ID and tilt range representing the group to be moved (Figure 7-1).

2.Click ‘Move Sector’ (Figure 7-1).

3.From the ‘Set Electrical Tilt for Sector’ screen, notice that the selected device is highlighted and displayed in the box labeled ‘Antennas Included In Move’. This box displays a list of all devices that will be included in the sector move. Initially, this box contains only the antenna that was selected from the main screen. All of the current configuration settings for this device, including its current tilt, are displayed on this screen (Figure 7-2).

1.Click on device within sector to select sector for tilt move.

2. Click ‘Move Sector’.
