Equipping the DRI Density is required
Single or Double
(called the associated DRI)

Setting CTU2 to High Power (max_tx_bts= -1)
MMI Command : equip <site number> DRI
Enter the 1st and 2nd DRI id: 0 0
Enter the density of this DRI: SINGLE
Enter the cabinet identifier: 0
Enter the type of connection to the BTP: master
Enter the port to which the TCU is connected: 0
Enter the 1st and 2nd RTF id:
Enter the GSM cell ID where the DRI appears: 1 2 3 9 9 4 21
Enter antenna select number for this cell: 1
Does this DRI use tuneable combining: no
Enter diversity flag for this DRI: 1
Enter the fm cell type: 4


Equipping a DRI Single Density
New line within
the command
MMI Command: equip <site number> DRI
