UTAM Disablement
Introduction
NOTE:
The rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) apply only to
the United States. In the US, do not activate the DWBS until you receive the
installation package and UTAM clearance for the site from the DEFINITY
Wireless Design Team (DWDT).
Systems in Canada follow the same UTAM disablement rules as in the US,
as specified by Industry Canada (IC) and the Industry Advisory Group (IAG).
For disablement rules in other countries, contact the International Offer
Manager.
The rules of the FCC and UTAM, Inc. (designated by the FCC as a frequency
coordinator for the unlicensed band) mandate that any wireless system, including
the DWBS, that operates in the 1910-1930 MHz band automatically disables itself
if the system is moved from the initial premises where it is installed. (This means
that Wireless Fixed Bases (WFBs) and Cell Antenna Units (CAUs) may be moved
within a customer building,
but they may not be moved to another customer
location
.) In keeping with this requirement, the DWBS automatically disables the
radio transmission if the DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server
®
(ECS)
experiences a total loss of power. The radio transmission may be enabled only
after the Lucent Technologies remote maintenance center is able to contact the
DEFINITY ECS to confirm the system’s location. This confirmation occurs within
approximately 30 minutes after power is restored.
A power-up reset of the DEFINITY ECS generates a major power alarm, and the
DWBS will not operate until the location of the DEFINITY ECS can be verified by
an authorized Lucent Technologies representative.
(However, a wired set would
