Antenna Setup/Installation/Deployment Validation

Attahc E312 to the large sector antennas to test cabling; cover GPS and each of the pannel antennas.

E312 + cabling + USB flash drive + directional antenna for SA + portable SA

Run two utilities:

• gpspipe
• tx_waveform

Install as startup script with:

update-rc.d cadv defaults 99

Output if antenna is working fine:

Transition from all 0 to GPS coorinates in teh log file on the flash drive (filename based turn-on timestamp)
