Connecting the RFS to the Customer LAN 
Once the RadioFrame System has been installed, commissioned, and all iDEN 
Acceptance Test and System Functionality procedures have been successfully 
completed, the RFS can be connected to the Customer LAN. Once the LAN has 
been physically connected, the RFS must be globally configured to support the 
LAN. Individual RAPs can also be configured, overriding certain global 
configuration options.
