📶 How to Add and Configure Cellular Radios

🛠️ Step 1: Add a Cellular Radio

• Go to Hardware or press H

• Click Add AP, then select:

  • Cellular (Indoor or Outdoor)

  • Choose Vendor and Model

📡 Step 2: Configure Carrier Settings

• Click Carrier > Add Carrier

• Set parameters such as:

  • Name, Band, Bandwidth, Subcarrier Spacing

  • Transmission Power

  • Uplink/Downlink Split

  • Modulation, MIMO

📐 Step 3: Create and Assign a Sector

• Go to Sector > Add Sector

• Choose antenna type (e.g., panel, omni)

• Assign the carrier to this sector

• Click Add to save this template

➕ Step 4: Enable Carrier Aggregation (Optional)

• Add multiple carriers

• Assign them to the same sector for aggregation

• You'll see the combined setup reflected visually

🧭 Step 5: Add More Sectors and Configure Azimuth

• Add a second sector to represent a new antenna

• Assign a different carrier

• Set Azimuth to control orientation

• Physically separate sectors from base radio as needed

📈 Step 6: Control Uplink and Downlink Throughput

• Throughput is based on carrier settings

• Example: changing modulation or MIMO affects speeds

• Adjust per-carrier to see the impact on performance

🎯 Step 7: Manual Channel and PCI Assignment

• Manually set channel numbers (e.g., 3560) and PCI values

• Click Update to apply them in real time
