This document details about steps for Manual S-info creation using Opt PCS which also requires Site
Plan creation from physical information/Site Data.

i.e. Site ID, Cell name, Latitude, Longitude, M-tilt, E-tilt just a few to mention. Attached xls sheet below is
a sample source file for Site Plan table creation.

Vendors: Opt PCS has the capability to create S-info for different Vendors viz a viz
Ericsson, Lucent (ALU) and Nokia for each of these we have GSM, UMTS and LTE
separately. Electra or Huwaie is closer to Ericson, so Ericson option can be used as of
now, albeit a new radio button can be added as the need arises.

Matching Key: very Import to select the matching key either with CI or cell name, it
depends on the CM data and the site plan created.

Cell Name: Another important selection: cell name should be from Site Plan or Switch
Dump(CM File)

Switch Data: User needs to select/Upload the CM XML file here. User can upload
multiple XML files as per requirement.

Output Location: User needs to specify the Output path where S-Info will be stored.

Once the Processing is done, Sinfo created is uploaded in Opt PCS and result folder can be
checked for set of files for the S-Info.
