Before you begin measuring directed RSSI
Use the Companion Provisioning Record to find and note the
following:
• the five-digit radio ID of the base station you want to
measure, by mapping the base station location to the TCM
port. The first four digits indicate the TCM port to which
the base station is connected. The last digit indicates the
number of the radio on the base station. For example, the
number 03122 identifies radio 2 on the base station
connected to TCM port 0312.
• the radio IDs of all other base stations in the same location.

by following steps 1 to 3 in To measure undirected RSSI

ear.
