    5 This experiment transmits a single-tone (sine) IF at 1.5 GHz from a USRP-2974 (Krypton) into a Pi-Radio FR3 front-end, which up-converts to an FR3 carrier (example: 10 GHz). A second Pi-Radio front-end down-converts the over-the-air signal back to 1.5 GHz for a USRP-2974 receiver, where a simple ASCII DFT spectrum viewer is used to verify the tone. The Pi-Radio web UI is used to configure the FR3 conversion.

    19 ==== Tutorial Setup ===
    20 
    21 Follow the steps below to gain access to the [wiki:/hardware/Domains/sb1 sandbox 1 console] and set up nodes with appropriate images.
    22  1. If you don't have one already, sign up for a [https://www.cosmos-lab.org/portal-2/ COSMOS account]
    23  1. [wiki:/GettingStarted#MakeaReservation Create a resource reservation] on COSMOS sandbox 1
    24  1. [wiki:/GettingStarted#LogintoyourReservation Login into sandbox 1] console (console.sb1.cosmos-lab.org) with an SSH sessions.
    25  1. Make sure all the resources in the domain are turned off:
    26 {{{#!shell
    27 omf tell -a offh -t system:topo:allres 
    28 }}}
    29  1. Load fr3-tutorials.ndz on sdr1-piradio and sdr2-piradio nodes. 
    30 {{{#!shell
    31 omf load -i fr3-tutorials.ndz -t sdr1-piradio,sdr2-piradio
    32 }}}
    33  1. Turn all the required resources (2 USRPs and 2 Pi-Radio SDRs) on:
    34 {{{#!shell
    35 omf tell -a on -t sdr1-piradio,sdr2-piradio,rfdev-sdr1-piradio,rfdev-sdr2-piradio
    36 }}}
    37  1. Check the node status to confirm that the nodes are up.
    38 {{{#!shell
    39 omf stat -t sdr1-piradio,sdr2-piradio,rfdev-sdr1-piradio,rfdev-sdr2-piradio
    40 }}}
    41  1. After a minute (giving internal PCs enough time to boot), ssh to the USRP 2974s nodes and start the chrome remote desktop session (follow the  [wiki:/UserGuide/RemoteAccess/ChromeRemoteDesktop instructions for setting remote access]).
    42  1. Open a Chrome browser sessions in each of the two CDRs and access the [wiki:/Hardware/FR3#ControllingthePi-RadioFR3SDRs Pi-Radio configuration pages]
