Purpose of Optimization
Purpose of Optimization
Why Optimize?

Proper optimization, also known as calibration, ensures that:

S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.


S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
What Is Calibration?

Calibration compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal


equipment variations. Site calibration guarantees that the combined
losses of the cables and the gain/loss characteristics and built-in
tolerances of each BTS frame do not accumulate and cause improper site
operation.
What Happens During
Calibration?

Overview During calibration, the accumulated path loss or gain is first


determined for each RF transmit path in the BTS. These transmit path
loss or gain values are then stored in a database along with RF receive
path default values.
RF path defintions For definitions of the BTS transmit (TX) and
receive (RX) paths, see What is Bay Level Offset Calibration? in the
Bay Level Offset Calibration section of Chapter 3.
NOTE
In this publication, all models of the Broad Band
Transceiver (BBX) board usable in this BTS, are
generically identified as BBX, unless otherwise specified.
Also, all models of the MultiChannel CDMA (MCC)
cards usable in this BTS, are generically identified as
MCC, unless otherwise specified.

RF paths and transceiver calibration Twelve of the BBX boards in


each CombinedCDMA Channel Processor (CCCP) shelf are
optimized to specific RX and TX antenna connectors. The last BBX
board provides redundancy for BBX boards 1 through 12, and is
optimized to all antenna connectors. A single calibration value is
generated for each complete path. This eliminates the accumulation of
error that would occur from individually measuring and summing the
gain and loss of each element in the path.
Using RF path gain/loss values BTS equipment factors in the derived
calibration values internally to adjust transceiver power levels, leaving
only sitespecific antenna feedline loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining required site Effective
Radiated Power (ERP) output power levels.

Requirememnts
General Test Equipment Selection, Calibration, and Operation
Requirememnts
Policy

General Requirements To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable


BTS calibration results, test equipment and software meeting the
following technical criteria should be used for BTS calibration.
Test equipment substitution Test equipment can be substituted with
other test equipment models, but substitute items must meet the same
technical specifications. All test equipment models selected for use in
BTS calibration and acceptance testing must be supported by the LMF.
Measurement variances and test equipment substitution It is the
responsibility of the customer to account for any measurement variances
and/or additional losses/inaccuracies which can be introduced as a
result of test equipment item substitutions. Before beginning BTS
calibration or troubleshooting, make sure that the test equipment needed
is onhand and operating properly.
Test Equipment Calibration

Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular support


equipment service and calibration prior to its use for BTS calibration.
Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
Test Cable Calibration

Onsite cable calibration Test cables can make critical differences in


calibration accuracy. Motorola recommends that cable calibration be run
at every BTS with the complete test equipment set. This method
compensates for test cable insertion loss within the test equipment set
itself. No other allowance for test cable insertion loss needs to be made
during the performance of BTS calibration or acceptance tests.
Inshop cable characterization Another method to account for cable
loss is by entering it into the LMF prior to the calibration procedure.
This method requires accurate test cable characterization using shop test
equipment. Characterized cables should be tagged with the
characterization information, and the measured losses entered into the
LMF before performing BTS calibration.
Equipment Warmup

After arriving at the a site, the test equipment should be plugged in and
turned on to allow warm up and stabilization for as long as possible. The
following test equipment items must be warmed up for a minimum of 60
minutes prior to use for BTS calibration.

CCCP Cage Configuration and


1X Devices

SC4812ET frames have one CCCP cage (see Figure 1-4) which will
support up to 12 MCC cards and 13 BBX cards.
MCC Cards
A BTS may be configured with a mix of MCC8E, MCC24E, and
MCC1X cards. Any CCCP cage MCC card slot will support any of
the three MCC types. For 1X capability under R16.0, at least one MCC
card must be an MCC1X which can be installed in any MCC card slot.
In a BSS operating with Software Release 2.16.0.84.3 and higher,
MCC1X cards will support IS95A and B traffic as well as
CDMA2000 1X. When operating with Software Release 2.16.0.5x.x, the
MCC1X cards do not support IS95A/B operation. For additional
software release compatibility and capability information, contact the
local Motorola account team.
BBX Cards
Up to twelve BBX cards of mixed BBX2s and BBX1Xs can also be
supported. CCCP cage BBX card slots 1 through 12 are carrier and
sectordependent. As a result, the BBX slots dedicated to the sectors for
one carrier should be populated with the same type of cards. Refer to
Table 1-6 for BBX card slot carrier and sector correlations.
IMPORTANT

See BBX Interchangeability below for proper


implementation of the variety of BBX cards available.

The CCCP cage BBXR card slot is dedicated to the redundant BBX.
This slot will support either a BBX2 or a BBX1X. If a cage has
BBX1X carriers, the redundant BBX (BBXR) must be a BBX1X card
to provide 1X redundancy.
BBX Interchangeability

In a BTS operating with R16.x software, BBX1X cards can be used as


direct replacements for BBX2 cards; however, different types of BBXs
should not be mixed on the same carrier. Therefore, if a BBX2 card is
replaced with a BBX1X, all remaining BBX2 cards for the carrier
supported by the replaced card must also be replaced with BBX1X
cards.

There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-5
outlines the basic requirements. When carrier capacity is greater than
two, a 2:1 or 4:1 cavity combiner must be used. For one or two carriers,
bandpass filters or cavity combiners may be used, depending on
sectorization and channel sequencing.

Preliminary Operations: Overview


Preliminary Operations: Overview
Introduction

2
This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
module placement, jumper, and Dual Inline Package (DIP) switch
settings against the site-specific documentation supplied for each BTS
application. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are
presented.

Cellsite Types

Sites are configured as Omni, 3sectored with a maximum of 4 carriers,


and 6sectored with a maximum of 2 carriers. Each type has unique
characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
NEC Files

The Network Element Configuration (NEC) files (packet BTS) contain


site type and equipage data information and passes it directly to the LMF
during optimization. The number of modem frames, CCCP shelves,
BBX boards, MCC boards (per cage), and power amplifier assignments
are some of the equipage data included in the NEC files.
CAUTION
Be sure that the correct NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files are used for the BTS. These should
be the NEC files that are provided for the BTS by the
OMCR. Failure to use the correct NEC files can cause
system errors. Failure to use the correct NEC files to log
into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.

Site Equipage Verification

Review the site documentation. Match the site engineering equipage data
to the actual boards and modules shipped to the site. Physically inspect
and verify the equipment provided for the BTS or modem frame and
ancillary equipment frame.
CAUTION
Always wear an approved antistatic wrist strap while
handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage from
ESD. After removal, the card/module should be placed on
a conductive surface or back into the antistatic shipping
container.

Initial Installation of
Cards/Modules

Follow the procedure in Table 2-1 to verify the initial installation of


cards/modules.
Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Cards/Modules
Step

Action

Refer to the site documentation and install all cards and modules into the appropriate shelves as
required. Verify they are NOT SEATED at this time.

NOTE
The Switch card has a configuration DIP switch that must be set to match the site configuration (see
Figure 2-1).
As the actual site hardware is installed, record the serial number of each module on a Serial Number
Checklist in the site logbook.
NOTE
Figure 2-1 shows DIP switch configuration settings for
SC4812Tseries BTS models in both 3sector and
6sector configurations. Switches 1 and 4 control
configuration.
For Multicarrier BTS models, switch 1 should be down.

Initial Inspection and Setup

CAUTION

Ensure all battery breakers for unused battery positions are


open (pulled out) during any part of the power up process,
and remain in the off position when leaving the site.

Table 2-2: Initial Inspection and Setup


Step

Action

Verify that ALL AC and DC breakers are turned OFF in both the Power and RF cabinets. Verify that
the DC power cables between the Power and RF cabinets are connected with the correct polarity

The RED cables connect to the uppermost three (3) terminals (marked +) in both cabinets. Confirm
that the split phase 240/120 AC supply is correctly connected to the AC load center input.

CAUTION
Failure to connect the proper AC feed will damage the
surge protection module inside the AC load center.

AC Power Check

The first task in the power up sequence is to apply AC power to the


Power cabinet. Once power is applied a series of AC Voltage
measurements is required.
Table 2-3: AC Voltage Measurements
Step

Action

Measure the AC voltages connected to the AC load center (access the terminals from the rear of the
cabinet after removing the AC load center rear panel). See Figure 2-3.

Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 Vac.

Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 Vac.

Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 Vac.

Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 Vac.

Measure L1 L2 should be from 208 to 240 Vac.

CAUTION
If the AC voltages are in excess of 120 V (or exceed
200 V) when measuring between terminals L1 or L2 to
neutral or ground, STOP and Do Not proceed until the
cause of the higher voltages are determined. The power
cabinet WILL be damaged if the Main breaker is turned
on with excessive voltage on the inputs.

Applying AC Power

Once AC Voltage Measurements are complete, apply AC power to the


Power Cabinet. Table 2-4 provides the procedure for applying AC
power.
Table 2-4: Applying AC Power
Step

Action

When the input voltages are verified as correct, turn the Main AC breaker (located on the front of the
ACLC) ON. Observe that all eight (8) green LEDs on the front of the ACLC are illuminated (see
Figure 2-9).

Turn Rectifier 1 and Rectifier 2 AC branch breakers (on the AC Load Center) ON. All the installed
rectifier modules (see Figure 2-9) will start up and should each have two green LEDs (DC and Power)
illuminated.

Turn the Meter Alarm Panel module, ON (see Figure 2-4), while observing the K2 contact in the PDA
assembly (see Figure 2-11). The contact should close. The Meter Alarm Panel voltage meter should
read approximately 27.4 + 0.2 Vdc.

Turn the Temperature Compensation Panel (TCP) ON, (see Figure 2-5). Verify that the Meter Alarm
Control Panel does not have any alarm LEDs illuminated.

Check the rectifier current bargraph displays (green LED display on the rectifier module). None should
be illuminated at this point.

NOTE
If batteries are fitted, turn on the two battery heater AC
breakers on the AC Load Center.

Table 2-5 lists the stepbystep instructions for Power Up Tests.


Table 2-5: Power Cabinet Power Up Tests
Step

Action

Probe the output voltage test point on the Meter Alarm Panel while pressing the 25 C set button on
the TCP (see Figure 2-5). The voltage should read 27.4 + 0.2 Vdc. Adjust Master Voltage on Meter
Alarm Panel if necessary. Release the TCP 25 C set button.

Depending on the ambient temperature, the voltage reading may now change by up to + 1.5 V
compared to the reading just measured. If it is cooler than 25_C, the voltage will be higher, and if it is
warmer than 25_C, the voltage will be lower.

Ensure the RF cabinet 400 A main DC breaker is OFF.

Close the three (3) Main DC breakers on the Power Cabinet ONLY. Close by holding in the reset
button on the front of the PDA, and engaging one breaker at a time.

Measure the voltage between the + and terminals at the rear of the Power Cabinet and the RF
Cabinet, observing that the polarity is correct. The voltage should be the same as the measurement in
step 2.

Place the probes across the black and red battery buss bars in each battery compartment. Place the
probe at the bottom of the buss bars where the cables are connected. The DC voltage should measure
the same as the previous step.

Testing Before Applying DC


Power

Before applying any power to the BTS cabinet, verify there are no shorts
in the RF or power DC distribution system (see Figure 2-6).
Table 2-6: DC Power Pretest (BTS Frame)

Step

Action

Physically verify that all AC rectifiers supplying power to the RF cabinets are OFF or disabled (see
Figure 2-6). There should be no 27 Vdc on DC feed terminals.

On each RF cabinet:

S Unseat all circuit boards/ modules in the distribution shelf, transceiver shelf, and Single Carrier
Linear Power Amplifier (SCLPA) shelves, but leave them in their associated slots.

S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the CCCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.

S Set CCCP shelf breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (labeled
CCCP 1, 2, 3 located on the power distribution panel).

S Set LPA breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (8 breakers,
labeled 1A1B through 4C4D located on the power distribution panel).

Verify that the resistance from the power (+) feed terminals with respect to the ground terminal on the
cabinet measures > 500 (see Figure 2-6).

S If reading is < 500 , a short may exist somewhere in the DC distribution path supplied by the
breaker. Isolate the problem before proceeding. A reading > 3 M could indicate an open (or
missing) bleeder resistor (installed across the filter capacitors behind the breaker panel).

Set the 400 Amp Main Breaker and the CCCP breakers (CCCP 1, 2, 3) to the ON position by
pushing them IN one at a time. Repeat step 3 after turning on each breaker.

* IMPORTANT
If, after inserting any board/module, the ohmmeter stays at 0 , a short probably exists in that
board/module. Replace the suspect board/module and repeat the test. If test still fails, isolate the
problem before proceeding.
5

Insert and lock the DC/DC converter modules into their associated slots one at a time. Repeat step 3
after inserting each module.

S A typical response is that the ohmmeter will steadily climb in resistance as capacitors charge, finally
indicating approximately 500 .

! CAUTION
Verify the correct power/converter modules by observing the locking/retracting tabs appear as follows:

Using a DC current probe, measure the current in each of the six (6) DC cables that are connected
between the RF and Power Cabinet. The DC current measured should be approximately the same. If
there is a wide variation between one cable and the others (>20 A), check the tightness of the
connections (torque settings) at each end of the cable.

Charge Test (Connected


Batteries)

Table 2-8 lists the step-by-step instructions for testing the batteries.
Table 2-8: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
Step
1

Action
Close the battery circuit breakers (press in) for connected batteries ONLY (see Figure 2-7). This
process should be completed quickly to avoid individual battery strings with excess charge current.

NOTE
If the batteries are sufficiently discharged, the battery circuit breakers may not engage individually due
to the surge current. If this condition is observed, turn off the Meter Alarm Panel power switch, and
then engage all the connected battery circuit breakers. Then, turn ON the Meter Alarm Panel power
switch.
2

Using the DC current probe, measure the current in each of the battery string connections to the buss
bars in each battery cabinet. The charge current may initially be high but should quickly reduce in a
few minutes if the batteries have a typical new battery charge level.

The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 A).

The bargraph meters on the rectifier modules can be used as a rough estimate of the total battery
charge current. Each rectifier module has eight LEDs to represent the output current. Each illuminated
LED indicates that approximately 12.5% (1/8 or 8.75 A) of the rectifiers maximum (70 A) current is
flowing.
EXAMPLE:
Question: A system fitted with three rectifier modules each have three bargraph LEDs illuminated.
What is the total output current into the batteries?
Answer: Each bargraph is approximately indicating 12.5% of 70 A, therefore, 3 X 8.75A equals
26.25A. As there are three rectifiers, the total charge current is equal to (3 X 26.25 A) 78.75 A.
This charge current calculation only applies at this part of the start up procedure when the RF Cabinet
is not powered on, and the power cabinet heat exchanger is turned off.

Allow a few minutes to ensure that the battery charge current stabilizes before taking any further
action. Recheck the battery current in each string. If the batteries had a reasonable charge, the current
in each string should reduce to less than 5 A.

Recheck the DC output voltage. It should remain the same as measured in step 4 of the Power Up
Test.

NOTE
If discharged batteries are installed, all bargraphs may be illuminated on the rectifiers during the
charge test. This indicates that the rectifiers are at full capacity and are rapidly charging the batteries. It
is recommended in this case that the batteries are allowed to charge and stabilize as in the above step
before commissioning the site. This could take several hours.

Discharge Test

Perform the test procedure in Table 2-9 only when the battery current is
less than 5 Amp per string. Refer to Table 2-8 for the procedures to
check current levels.
Table 2-9: Battery Discharge Test
Step

Action

Turn the battery test switch on the Meter Alarm Panel, ON (see Figure 2-4). The rectifier output
voltage and current should decrease by approximately 10% as the batteries assume the load. Alarms
for the Meter Alarm Panel may occur.

Measure the individual battery string current using the DC current probe. The battery discharge current
in each string should be approximately the same (within 5 A).

Turn Battery Test Switch OFF.

CAUTION
Failure to turn OFF the Battery Test Switch before leaving
the site, will result in low battery capacity and reduce
battery life.

Introduction to Calibration
Introduction to Calibration
Overview

This section describes procedures for isolating the BTS from the span
lines, preparing and using the LMF, downloading BTS software, CSM
reference verification/optimization, set up and calibration of the
supported test equipment, transmit/receive path verification, using the
RFDS/CRMS, and verifying the customer defined alarms and relay
contacts are functioning properly.
NOTE
Before using the LMF, use an editor to view the
CAVEATS section in the readme.txt file in the c:\wlmf
folder for any applicable information.

Calibration Process Summary

After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations, such


as power up, have been completed, the LMF is used to calibrate the
BTS. Companion frames must be optimized individually as separate
BTSs. The basic calibration process consists of the following:
1. Download GLI 1 with code and data and then enable GLI 1.
NOTE
GLIs must be GLI3 cards.
2. Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of
the following types respond with status information: CSM, BBX,
GLI, and MCC (and TSU if RFDS is installed). If a device is
installed and powered up but is not responding and is colored gray in
the BTS display, the device is not listed in the NEC files. The NEC
files must be corrected before the device can be accessed by the
LMF.
3. Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
CSM
BBX (BBX1X)
GLI (other than GLI 1)
MCC1X
4. Download the RFDS TSIC (if installed).
5. Verify the operation of the GPS and QHSO, HSO, MSO, or LFR
signals.
6. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
Secondary CSM (slot 2)
Primary CSM (slot 1)
All MCCs

7. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.


8. Select the test equipment using the LMF.
9. Calibrate the TX and RX test cables if they have not previously been
calibrated using the CDMA LMF that is going to be used for the
optimization/calibration. The cable calibration values can also be
entered manually.
10. Select all of the BBXs and all of the MCCs and use the full
optimization function. The full optimization function performs TX
calibration, BLO download, TX audit, all TX tests, and all RX tests
for all selected devices.

11. If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed
paths.
12. If the TX calibration fails again, troubleshoot and correct the
problem that caused the failure and repeat the full optimization for
the failed path.
13. If the TX calibration and audit portion of the full optimization passes
for a path but some of the TX or RX tests fail, correct the problem
that caused the failure and run the individual tests as required until
all TX and RX tests have passed for all paths.
Cell-site Types

Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type


has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
NOTE
For more information on the different in site types, please
refer to the applicable BTS hardware installation manual.

Configuration Files

The Network Element Configuration (NEC) files contain information


that defines the BTS and data used to download files to the devices. The
NEC Base (NECB NECB*bts#.xml) and NEC Journaling (NECJ
NECJ*bts#.xml) files are used by packet BTSs. NEC files must be
placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log
into that BTS. NEC files can be obtained from the OMCR using a
floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be used if the LMF
computer has that capability.
The NEC files include the following information:

S Download instructions and protocol


S Site specific equipage information
S CCCP shelf allocation plan
BBX equipage (based on cellsite type) including redundancy
CSM equipage including redundancy

MCC (MCC1X and/or MCCDO) channel element allocation plan.


This plan indicates how the CCCP shelf is configured, and how
the paging, synchronization, traffic, and access channel elements
(and associated gain values) are assigned among the (up to 12)
MCCs in the shelf.
S CSM equipage including redundancy
S HSO equipage whenever either an HSO, QHSO, or MSO backup
timing reference source card is installed in the BTS.
S Effective Rated Power (ERP) table for all TX channels to antennas
respectively. Motorola System Engineering specifies the ERP of a
transmit antenna based on site geography, antenna placement, and
government regulations. Working from this ERP requirement, the
antenna gain, (dependent on the units of measurement specified) and
antenna feed line loss can be combined to determine the required
power at the top of the BTS frame. The corresponding BBX output
level required to achieve that power level on any channel/sector can
also be determined.
NOTE
Refer to the LMF Help function online documentation
(part of the LMF software application) for additional
information on the layout of the LMF directory structure
(including NEC file location and format).
BTS Software Download

BTS software must be successfully downloaded to the BTS processor


boards before optimization can be performed. BTS operating code is
loaded from the LMF computer terminal.
CAUTION
Before using the LMF for calibration or acceptance testing,
the correct NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files
for the BTS must be obtained from the OMCR and put in
a bts# folder in the LMF. Failure to use the correct NEC
files can cause improper or unpredictable BTS operation.
Failure to use the correct NEC files to log into a live
(traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
The NEC files are normally obtained from the OMCR on a DOS
formatted diskette, or through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the LMF
computer has ftp capability. Refer to the LMF Help function online
documentation (part of the LMF software application) for the procedure.
Site Equipage Verification

If it has not already done, use an editor to view the NEC files, and
review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage data
in the NEC files matches the actual site hardware using a NEC file
conversion table.

CAUTION
Use extreme care not to make any changes to the NEC file
content while viewing the file. Changes to the NEC file
can cause the site to operate unreliably or render it
incapable of operation.

Preparing the LMF


Preparing the LMF
Overview

Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software


must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting
Motorolaspecified requirements (see Recommended Test Equipment
and Software in Chapter 1).
Software and files for installation and updating of the LMF are provided
on CD ROM disks. The following installation items must be available:
S LMF Program on CD ROM
S NEC files for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
OMCR)
The following section provides information and instructions for
installing and updating the LMF software and files.
Overview of Packet BTS files

R16.0 and earlier software releases used the CDF configuration file for
each BTS and CBSC supported by the LMF. In a packet BTS operating
with Software Release 16.1 or later, the CDF is replaced by the NEC
files. There are two NEC files. These are:
S NEC Base (NECB) file
S NEC Journal (NECJ) file
The NECB contains the baseline configuration information and is
analogous to the CDF, while the NECJ contains all the changes made to
the configuration since the last time the NECB was regenerated. Once
the NECJ reaches 80% of its maximum size, the NECB is regenerated
by the OMCR, and all updates from the NECJ file are rolled into it.
The NEC files play much more extensive role than the previouslyused
CDF files.
Additional important, LMFrelated facts about the the NEC files are:

S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in eXtensible Markup Language


S

S
S
S
SEP 2009

(XML) format.
NECB contains all the up-to-date static configuration information and
NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) which are
not updated in the NECB.
Both files can be viewed in any XML viewer (most easily available is
Internet Explorer V5.0 and higher). They can be also viewed by any
other word or text processor, but the XML tags will also be seen when
using these types of applications.
These files will be created by OMCR from MIB and reflect the BTS
provisioning.
These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on
the system for each BTS.
Unlike the CDF file, the NEC files will reside on both OMCR and
GLI3s operating in packet mode. The NEC files will be synchronized
periodically between the OMCR and GLI3s in each BTS.

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

3-5

Preparing the LMF

continued

S Both the NECB and NECJ files contain a SoftwareVersion field in


their header section indicating the system release version of these
files.

S Instead of the bts#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files, which are copies of the

NEC files.

S A GLI3 operating in packet mode will need the NECB and NECJ files
for site initialization.

S The scope of the NEC files has grown much broader than that of the

CDF and has much more BTScentric information. This is principally


because the role of the GLI card has expanded significantly with the
introduction of the GLI3 card and packet backhaul.
CAUTION
Never use a generic NEC file. The specific, siteunique
information for the BTS must be included in the NEC file
for the site to operate properly.

LMF File Structure Overview

The LMF uses a <x>:\lmf home directory> folder that contains all of the
essential data for installing and maintaining the BTS. The following list
outlines the folder structure for LMF. Except for the bts# folders, these
folders are created as part of the the LMF installation. Refer to the
CDMA LMF Operators Guide for a complete description of the folder
structure.
Figure 3-1: LMF Folder Structure
(C:)
x:\<lmf home directory> folder
cdma folder
bts# folders (A separate folder is required
for each BTS where bts# is the unique BTS
number; for example, bts163.)
loads folder
version folder (A separate folder is
required for each different version; for
example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5.)
code folder
data folder

Preparing the LMF

continued

NOTE
The loads folder and all the folders below it are not
available from the LMF for Software Release 2.16.4.1.
These folders may be present as as a legacy from previous
software versions or downloaded from the OMCR.
Users will need to manually add the directories to a newly
installed LMF when they add the code loads to be
downloaded.

LMF Home Directory

The CDMA LMF installation program creates the default home


directory, c:\wlmf, and installs the application files and subdirectories
(folders) in it. Because this can be changed at installation, the CDMA
LMF home directory will be referred to with the generic convention of:
<x>:\<lmf home directory>
Where:
<x> = the LMF computer drive letter where the CDMA LMF home
directory is located.
<lmf home directory> = the directory path or name where the CDMA
LMF is installed.
Filename Conventions and
Directory Location

NEC Files
The naming conventions for the NECB and NECJ files are:
NECB*bts#.xml
NECJ*bts#.xmlNECJ*bts#.xml
Where:
* = any characters can be substituted
# = the actual integer BTS number; for example,
NECB2.16.4.1.40bts480.xml
The NECB and its corresponding NECJ must have the exact same name,
except for the B and J after the initial NEC characters.
The NECB and the NECJ must reside in the
<LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts# directory for the BTS to which they apply.
Load Information File (LIF)
The LIF is used for packet BTS. It contains all the devices binaries
available for the specified System Software Release. It is the functional
equivalent of the Object List File (OLF) file that was used prePacket.
SEP 2009

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

3-7

Preparing the LMF

continued

The naming convention for the LIF is:


NE_LIF.xml
The LIF must be placed in the
<x>:\lmf home directory>\cdma\loads\<software_release#> directory;
for example, c:\wlmf\cdma\loads\2.17.0.10.
The LIF can be obtained from the OMCR directory
/screl/<software_release#>/loadable/bts

Cal File
The Cal File still resides in the <LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts# directory
and is named bts#.cal, where # is the actual integer number of the
BTS.
LMF Application Installation

This section provides information and instructions for installing and


updating the LMF software and files.
NOTE
First Time Installation Sequence:
1. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
2. Install U/WIN Kshell emulator
3. Install LMF application programs
4. Install/create BTS folders

NOTE
Any time U/WIN is installed, the LMF application
software must also be installed. This is because the LMF
application installation modifies some of the files that are
installed during the U/Win installation. These
modifications are necessary for proper LMF operation.
Installing U/Win overwrites these modifications.
There are multiple binary image packages for installation
on the CDROM. When prompted, choose the load that
corresponds to the software release currently installed in
the network. Perform the Device Images installation after
the LMF installation.
If applicable, a separate CD ROM of BTS Binaries may be
available for binary updates.

Follow the procedure in Table 3-1 to install the LMF application


program using the LMF CD ROM.

Enter d:\autorun In the Open box and click OK.

NOTE
If applicable, replace the letter d with the correct CD ROM drive letter.

Copy NEC Files to the LMF


Computer

Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF computer to execute


optimization/ATP procedures, the correct NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files must be obtained from the OMCR and put in a
bts-# folder in the LMF computer. This requires downloading the files
using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or creating versions of the OMCR
NEC files on a DOSformatted floppy diskette and using the diskette to
install the NEC files on the LMF computer.
NOTE

S If a network connection is available, the ftp method can


be used to copy the NEC files from the OMCR.

S On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can

be used in place of the cp command (for example,


unix2dos NECB2.21.0.0.9bts248.xml
NECB2.21.0.0.9bts248.xml). This should be done
using a copy of the OMCR NEC files so the original
OMCR NEC files are not changed to DOS format.

NOTE
When copying NEC files, be sure the numbers used in the
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml filenames
correspond to the locally assigned numbers for each BTS
and its controlling OMCR. This will prevent BTS login
problems with the LMF.

The procedure in Table 3-2 lists the steps required to transfer the NEC
files from the OMCR to the LMF computer using a floppy diskette. For
further information, refer to the LMF Help function on line
documentation.
Table 3-2: Copying NEC Files to the LMF Computer
n Step

Action

AT THE OMCR:

Start a Command Line Interface (CLI) session and log in.

Insert a DOS formatted diskette in the workstation drive.

Type eject q and press the <Enter> key.

Type mount and press the <Enter> key.

NOTE
S Look for the floppy/no_name message on the last line displayed.
S If the eject command was previously entered, floppy/no_name will be appended with a
number. Use the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing step 7.

Change to the directory containing the file by typing cd <directory name> (ex. cd
bts248) and pressing <Enter>.

Type ls <Enter> to display the list of files in the directory.

With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOSformatted versions of the NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files on the diskette by entering the following command:
unix2dos <source filename> /floppy/no_name/<target filename>
For example, unix2dos
NECB2.12.4.41bts248.xml
/floppy/no_name/
NECB2.12.4.41bts248.xml .

NOTE
S Other versions of Unix do not support the unix2dos and dos2unix commands. In these cases,

use the Unix cp (copy) command. The copied files will be difficult to read with a DOS or
Windows text editor because Unix files do not contain line feed characters. Editing copied NEC
files on the LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended.

S Using cp, multiple files can be copied in one operation by separating each filename to be copied
with a space and ensuring the destination directory (floppy/no_name) is listed at the end of the
command string following a space (for example,
cp NECB2.21.4.41bts248.xml NECJ2.21.4.41bts248.xml /floppy/no_name).

Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts# that must be supported by the LMF.

When all required files have been copied to the diskette, type eject and press the <Enter> key.

10

Remove the diskette from the workstation drive.

Named HyperTerminal
Connection for MMI Sessions

General Confirming or changing the configuration data of External


BTS Routers (EBR) and certain BTS Field Replaceable Units (FRU)
requires establishing a ManMachine Interface (MMI) communication
session between the LMF and the FRU or EBR. Using features of the
Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI
session can be saved on the LMF computer as a named HyperTerminal
connection. This eliminates the need for setting up connection
parameters each time an MMI session is required to support operations.

Optional Channel Service Units (CSU)


Optional Channel Service Units (CSU)
Configure Channel Service Unit

The MPATH 537 Channel Service Unit (CSU) provides inband


SNMPmanaged digital service access to T1 and fractional T1 lines.
MPATH units plug into the Kentrox 2slot frame (see Figure 3-2).
Remote MPATH management is available via SNMP over an inband
data link on the T1 line (using a facility data link or 864 kbps of a DS0
channel). The unit at the near end of the management path can be an
SNMP manager or another MPATH CSU.
Each 19 inch rack can support two CSU MPATH 537 modules. Each
MPATH 537 module supports one and only one span connection.
Programming of the MPATH is accomplished through the DCE 9pin
connector on the front panel of the CSU shelf. Manuals and a Microsoft
Windows programming disk is supplied with each unit.
Setting the Control Port
Whichever control port is chosen, it must first be set up so the control
port switches match the communication parameters being used by the
control device. If using the rearpanel DTE control port, set the
shelfaddress switch SA5 to up (leave the switch down for the
rearpanel DCE control port).
For more information, refer to the vendor user manual (part number

Using the LMF


Using the LMF
Basic LMF Operation

LMF Coverage in This Publication There are LMF application


programs to support maintenance of both CDMA and SAS BTSs. All
references to the LMF in this publication are for the CDMA application
program.
Operating Environments The LMF application program allows the
user to work in the two following operating environments which are
accessed using the specified desktop icons:
S Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
S Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon
The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.
Basic Operation Basic operation of the LMF in either environment
includes performing the following:
S Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
S Enabling devices
S Disabling devices
S Resetting devices
S Obtaining device status
The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:
S Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF Help function online documentation (part of the Local
Maintenance Facility (LMF) software application).
NOTE
Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual
are performed using the GUI environment.
Online Help Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by
clicking on Help from the menu bar.
NOTE
When using the R17 and earlier LMF versions which use
JRE 1.4.1, a bug in this JRE version can cause the LMF to
become unresponsive when operating with some video
cards. See the Troubleshooting: Installation section of
Chapter 7 if this problem occurs.

The LMF Display and the BTS

BTS Display When the LMF is logged into a BTS, a frame tab is
displayed for each BTS frames. The frame tab will be labeled with
CDMA and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame number (for
example, BTS8121 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If there is only one frame
for the BTS, there will only be one tab.
NEC file Requirements For the LMF to recognize the devices
installed in the BTS, BTS NEC files which include equipage information
for all the devices in the BTS must be located in the applicable
<x>:\<lmf home directory>\cdma\bts# folder.

RFDS or CRMS Probe Display If an RFDS or CRMS Probe is


included in the NEC files, a tab labeled with RFDS, a dash, and the
BTS numberframe number combination (for example, RFDS8121)
will be displayed.
NOTE
The RFDS display is used for the CRMS models. CRMS
models are NOT shown or called out in the LMF screens.

Graphical User Interface


Overview

The LMF uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which supports the
following functions:

S Selecting a device or devices.


S Selecting an action to apply to selected device(s).
S Status report window displaying progress of actions taking place and
related information.

S Notification when an action is complete and related information such


as indication of success or failure

S An OK button to close the status report window.


Understanding GUI Operation

The following screen captures are provided to help understand how the
GUI operates:
Figure 3-5 shows the differences between packet and circuit BTS
representations on the LMF login screen. If there is a packet
configuration file (NEC) for the BTS, the (P) is added as a suffix
to the BTS number.
Figure 3-6 shows the Self-Managed Network Elements (NE) state
of a packetmode BTS (SC4812T shown). An X is displayed on
the front of each card that is under SelfManaged NE control by the
GLI3 card.
3-26

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

SEP 2009

Using the LMF

continued

Figure 3-7 shows three of the available packet mode commands.


Normally the GLI3 has Self-Managed NE control of all cards as
shown inFigure 3-7 identified with an X. In that state, the LMF
may only status a card. In order to download code or test a card, the
LMF must request Self-Managed NE control of the card by using
the dropdown menu shown. The LMF also uses this menu to release
control of the card back to the GLI3. The GLI3 will also assume
control of the cards after the LMF logs out of the BTS. The packet
mode GLI3 normally is loaded with a tape release and NECB and
NECJ files which point to a tape release stored on the GLI3. When
the GLI3 has control of a card it will maintain that card with the
code on that tape release.
Figure 3-8 depicts a packetmode BTS that has the MCC1 and the
BBX1 cards under LMF control. Notice that the X is missing
from the front of these two cards.
Figure 3-5: BTS Login screen identifying circuit and packet BTS files

For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,


refer to the LMF Help function online documentation (part of the Local
Maintenance Facility (LMF) software application).

Command Line Interface


Overview

The LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.


Activate the CLI by clicking on a shortcut icon on the desktop. The CLI
cannot be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. The
LMF architectural design is such that only one handler can be running at
one time. Because of this in R19.0 and later, the GUI must be started
before the CLI if the GUI and CLI are to be used at the same time. When
the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI automatically finds and uses
an inprogress login session with a BTS initiated under the GUI. This
allows the use of the GUI and the CLI in the same BTS login session.
If a CLI handler is already running when the GUI is launched (this
happens if the CLI window is already open when the user starts the GUI)
or if the GUI is already running when the user starts a second GUI
instance, a dialog window displays the following warning message:
The CLI handler is already running.
This may cause conflicts with the LMF.
Are you sure that you want to start the application?
Yes
No

Selecting the yes button starts the application. Selecting the no button
terminates the application.
CLI Format Conventions
The CLI command can be broken down in the following way:

S
S
S
S

verb
device including device identifier parameters
switch
option parameters consisting of:
keywords
equals signs (=) between the keywords and the parameter values
parameter values

Spaces are required between the verb, device, switch, and option
parameters. A hyphen is required between the device and its identifiers.
Following is an example of a CLI command.
measure bbx<bts_id><bbx_id> rssi channel=6 sector=5
Refer to the LMF CLI Reference manual for a complete explanation of
the CLI commands and their use.

The LMF is properly connected to the BTS (see Figure 3-4).


The LMF application program is correctly installed and prepared.
A bts-# folder with the correct NEC files exists.
The LMF computer was connected to the BTS before starting the
Windows operating system and LMF software. If necessary, restart the
computer after connecting it to the BTS in accordance with Table 3-5.

NOTE
Be sure that the correct NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files are used for the BTS. These should
be the NEC files that are provided for the BTS by the
OMCR. Failure to use the correct NEC files can result in
invalid optimization. Failure to use the correct NEC files
to log into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down
the site.

Logging Out

Logging out of a BTS is accomplished differently for the GUI and the
CLI operating environments.
NOTE
The GUI and CLI environments use the same connection to
a BTS. If a GUI and the CLI session are running for the
same BTS at the same time, logging out of the BTS in
either environment will log out of it for both. When either
a login or logout is performed in the CLI window, there is
no GUI indication that logout has occurred.

Logging Out of a BTS from the GUI Environment


Follow the procedure in Table 3-8 to logout of a BTS when using the
GUI environment.

Take Control of Packet BTS Resources


Take Control of Packet BTS Resources
Packet BTS Control

In a packet BTS, the GLI3 card controls all BTS resources, such as the
MCC, BBX, and CSM cards, which were previously managed by the
Central Base Station Controller (CBSC) Mobility Manager (MM) for
circuit BTSs. As a result, the LMF can not perform any of the normal
code/data download, optimization, or test functions with packet BTS
cards until the GLI3 gives up control of these items.
NOTE
The GLI3 cards in a packet BTS can never be placed under
LMF control. GLI3 cards are selfmanaged Network
Elements (NE) in a packet Base Station System (BSS). The
GLI3 cards are not designed to give up control of the
packet BTS and, in packet mode, will not transfer control
of themselves to the LMF. An LMF control request for a
GLI3 in a packet BTS will fail immediately with a status
message of GLI Object Not Supported For LMF Control.
In a packet BTS, the GLI3 cards will always show the X
in the LMF display indicating they are not under LMF
control.

Taking Control of Packet BTS


Resources

After logging into a packet BTS for optimization or acceptance testing,


the first action which must be performed is transferring control of the

Download the BTS General Information


Download the BTS General Information
Overview

Before a BTS can operate, each equipped device must contain device
initialization (ROM) code. ROM code is loaded in all devices during
manufacture or factory repair. Device application (RAM) code and data
must be downloaded to each equipped device by the user before the BTS
can be made fully functional for the site where it is installed.
Download ROM Code

Downloading ROM code to BTS devices from the LMF is NOT routine
maintenance nor a normal part of the optimization process. It is only
done in unusual situations where the resident ROM code in the device
does not match the release level of the software on the RAN AND the
OMCR cannot communicate with the BTS to perform the download. If
ROM code must be downloaded, refer to Appendix G.
Before ROM code can be downloaded from the LMF, the correct ROM
code file for each device to be loaded must exist on the LMF computer.
ROM code must be manually selected for download.
NOTE
The ROM code file is not available for GLI3 cards. GLI3s
are ROM code loaded at the factory.

RAM Code

NOTE
Beginning in R22.0, GLI3 cards in packet mode can be
downloaded with RAM code and data using the WinLMF.
Before RAM code can be downloaded from the CDMA LMF, the correct
RAM code file for each device must exist on the LMF computer. RAM
code can be automatically or manually selected depending on the Device
menu item chosen and where the RAM code file for the device is stored
in the CDMA LMF file structure. The RAM code file is selected
automatically if the file is in the \lmf\cdma\loads\n.n.n.n\code folder
(where n.n.n.n is the version number of the download code). The RAM
code file in the code folder must have the correct hardware bin number.
RAM code can be downloaded from the LMF to a device that is in any
state. After the download is started, the device being downloaded
changes to Out Of Service_ReadOnly Memory (OOS_ROM) (blue).
When the download is completed successfully, the device changes to
Out Of Service_Random Access Memory (OOS_RAM) (yellow).
For nonGLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is
downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS_RAM
(yellow).
SEP 2009

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

Download the BTS General Information

continued

Prior to downloading to a device, a code file must be located on the


LMF computer. The code file is selected automatically if the code file is
in the /lmf/cdma/n.n.n.n/code folder (where n.n.n.n is the version number
of the download code that matches the NextLoad parameter in the
NEC files). The code file in the code folder must have the correct
hardware bin number. Code can be automatically or manually selected.
The devices to be loaded with RAM code and data are:

S Clock Synchronization Module (CSM)


S Multi Channel Card (MCC24E, MCC8E or MCC1X)
S Broadband Transceiver (BBX)

NOTE

S One GLI3 card must be loaded with code and data, and

operating as INS_ACT before the LMF can download


any other device. Beginning with R22.0, if the GLI3
cards in the BTS require a different code load from that
installed, they can be loaded from the R22.0 and later
WinLMF.

S Other devices in the BTS can be downloaded by the


LMF in any order.

NOTE
The GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained and operated
by the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD periodically alters satellite orbits;
therefore, satellite trajectories are subject to change. A GPS receiver that is INS contains an ephemeris
(satellite position table) that is updated periodically to take these changes into account.
If a GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to an hour for the GPS
receiver ephemeris to be updated.
Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3D position fix
for a minimum of 45 seconds before the CSM will come in service. (In some cases, the GPS receiver
needs to track only one satellite, depending on accuracy mode set during the data load.)

NOTE
S If two CSM cards are installed and the CSM in slot CSM 1 is in the INS_ACT state, the LMF cage

view should show CSM 1 as light green. If the CSM in slot CSM 2 is the INS_SBY state, the LMF
cage view should display CSM 2 colored dark green.

S If more than an hour has passed without the board in slot CSM 1 enabling, refer to the CSM System
Time GPS & LFR/HSO Verification section of this chapter (see Table 3-19, Figure 3-14, and
Table 3-20) to determine the cause.

After CSMs have been successfully enabled, be sure the PWR/ALM LEDs are steady green
(alternating green/red indicates the card is in an alarm state).

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification
Clock Synchronization
Manager (CSM) Subsystem
Description

Overview
Each BTS CSM subsystem features two CSM cards per RFMF. The
primary function of the CSM cards is to maintain CDMA system time.
GPS is used as the primary timing reference and synchronizes the entire
cellular system. In typical operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital
Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are
provided by either an onboard GPS receiver module (RFGPS) or a
remote GPS receiver (RGPS). RGPS uses a GPS receiver in the antenna
head that has a digital output. The second generation CSM card
(CSMII) is required when using the RGPS. A CSMII card can also be
equipped with a local (RFGPS) GPS receiver daughter card to support
an RFGPS signal.
CCCP Shelf CSM Card Slot Assignments
The card in CCCP or SCCP shelf slot CSM 1 (CSM 1 card) is the
primary timing source, while the card in CSM slot 2 (CSM 2 card)
provides redundancy. For RFGPS, the GPS receiver is installed on the
CSM 1 card. In a BTS equipped with Remote GPS neither CSM card
has a GPS receiver installed. The redundant CSM card is never equipped
with a GPS receiver.
CSMII Card Type Description
Each CSMII card provides a 19.6608 MHz clock, Even Second Tick
pulse, and 3 MHz reference that is referenced to one or more of the
following available clock sources:
S GPS: local/remote RFGPS or RGPS
S High Stability Oscillator (HSO)
S Motorola Standard Oscillator (MSO)
S Quartz High Stability Oscillator (QHSO)
S High Stability Oscillator eXpansion (HSOX)
S Low Frequency Receiver (LFR)
CDMA Clock Distribution Card (CCD) Description
CCD cards buffer and distribute evensecond reference and 19.6608
MHz clock signals from the CSM cards. CCD 1 is married to the CSM 1
card, and CCD 2 is married to the CSM 2 card.
CSM Card Redundancy
The BTS switches between the primary and redundant units (cards CSM
1 and CSM 2, respectively) upon a card failure or command. A failure in
CSM 1 or CCD 1 will cause the system to switch to the CSM 2CCD 2
redundant card pair. GPS timing synchronization is continually
maintained between the primary and redundant CSMCCD pairs.
SEP 2009

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

3-59

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification continued


Secondary Timing References
The BTS should be equipped with a backup time reference source to
maintain synchronization if the GPS reference becomes unavailable. The
BTS supports the following backup reference sources: HSO, MSO,
HSOX, or LFR. The CSM continuously monitors all available reference
sources and selects the most appropriate source for the current
operational conditions.
Timing Source Fault Management

CSM fault management has the ability to switch between the GPS and
any available backup reference source in the event of a GPS reference
failure. During normal operation, the CSM 1 card will select a GPS
reference source (Table 3-20). The source selection can also be
overridden through the LMF or system commands.
Front Panel LED and Status
Displays

The CSM cards include on-board alarm detection. Hardware and


software/firmware state and alarm conditions are displayed by the front
panel LED indicator (Figure 3-13). Table 3-18 provides explanations of
card front panel LED indications for CSM card state/status.

Backup Timing Reference


Sources

CSM and LFR, HSO, MSO, or QHSO Backup


The CSM performs the overall configuration and status monitoring
functions for the LFR, HSO, MSO, or QHSO backup reference. During
times when a GPS timing reference is unavailable, the CSM can use the
LFR, HSO, or MSO to maintain the synchronization initially established
by the GPS reference.
LFR
The LFR requires an external antenna to receive longrange navigation
(loran) RF signals. Timing pulses are obtained from this signal, which is
synchronized to Universal Time Coordinates (UTC) and GPS time. After
initial GPS lock, the LFR can maintain system synchronization
indefinitely.
SEP 2009

1X SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP

3-61

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification continued


HSO
An HSO card provides a highly stable clock source for installed CSM
cards. The HSO is capable of maintaining CSM synchronization for a
minimum of 24 hours following 24 hours of calibration by a GPS
reference.
MSO
An MSO card provides a highly stable clock source for installed CSM
cards. The MSO is capable of maintaining CSM synchronization for a
minimum of 8 hours following 8 hours of calibration by a GPS
reference.

QHSO
A QHSO card provides the same highly stable clock source for installed
CSM cards. Like the HSO, the QHSO is capable of maintaining CSM
synchronization for a minimum of 24 hours following 24 hours of
calibration by a GPS reference.
HSOX
An HSOX card is used to receive an HSO or MSO clock reference from
a starter frame in a multiframe BTS. CSM cards using an HSOX
backup reference will maintain synchronization from the HSO or MSO
in the starter frame during the absence of a GPS reference source.
NOTE
Allow the base site and test equipment to warm up for
60 minutes after any interruption in oscillator power. CSM
card warm-up allows the oscillator oven temperature and
oscillator frequency to stabilize prior to test. Test
equipment warm-up allows the Rubidium standard
timebase to stabilize in frequency before any measurements
are made.

CAUTION
1. In the power entry compartment, connect the GPS
antenna to the RF GPS connector ONLY. Damage to
the GPS antenna and/or receiver can result if the GPS
antenna is inadvertently connected to any other RF
connector.
2. The following procedure requires handling of
staticsensitive devices. Always wear an approved
antistatic wrist strap while handling any circuit
card/module to prevent damage by ESD. Extreme care
should be taken during the removal and installation of
any card/module. After removal, the card/module
should be placed on a conductive surface or back into
the antistatic container in which it was shipped.

Test Equipment GPIB Address


Settings

All test equipment except the Agilent E7495 and Anritsu MT8212B is
controlled by the LMF through an IEEE488/GPIB bus. To
communicate on the bus, each piece of test equipment must have a GPIB
address set which the LMF will recognize. The standard address settings
used by the LMF for the various types of test equipment items are as
follows:

S Signal generator address: 1


S Power meter address: 13
S Communications system analyzer: 18
Using the procedures included in the Verifying and Setting GPIB
Addresses section of Appendix F, verify and, if necessary, change the
GPIB address of each piece of employed test equipment to match the
applicable addresses above
.

Test Equipment Set-up

continued

Agilent E7495A and E7495B communications test sets requires


additional setup and preparation. This is described in detail in Appendix
F.
NOTE
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibration the overal tes equipment set. Calibrate the
communications test set after it has been allowed to warm
up and stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.

CAUTION
If any piece of the the test equipment set (for example, test
cable, RF adapter) has been replaced, the test equipment
set must be recalibrated. Failure to do so could introduce
measurement errors, resulting in incorrect measurement
and degredation of system performance.

Test Equipment Connection


Charts

To use the following charts to identify necessary test equipment


connections, locate the communications system analyzer being used in
the COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM ANALYZER columns, and read
down the column. Where a dot appears in the column, connect one end
of the test cable to that connector. Follow the horizontal line to locate the
end connection(s), reading up the column to identify the appropriate
equipment and/or BTS connector.

Test Equipment Connection to the LMF


Test Equipment Connection to the LMF
Test Equipment Connection

The LMF computer platform provides two types of hardware interfaces


which support three different test equipment communication methods.

S The COM hardware interface (RS232) supports connection with both


the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) and direct serial
communication methods.

S The Ethernet interface supports the network test equipment


communication method.

Additional information on each interface type is provided in the


following subsections.
COM Port Interface
The LMF computer RS232 serial bus interfaces are designated as COM
connections or ports in software. These interfaces support
communication with test equipment connected to the LMF computer
directly with a serial cable or through a GPIB interface device (GPIB
box). The LMF normally uses COM1 for the interface. COM2 is not
used unless the LMF computer has two RS232 connectors. The COM
port selected in the LMF can not be used for any other purpose when the
LMF is using it.
Selecting the COM port Perform the following to select a COM port
for use with test equipment needing a GPIB or direct serial connection:
Table 3-25: Selecting a COM Port for GPIB or Serial Test Equipment Connection
Step

Action

From the LMF window menu bar select Tools > Options.
Result: The LMF Options window opens.

If the Test Equipment tab is not in the forefront, click the tab to bring it forward.

Click in the COM radio button in the GPIB/COM settings area.


Result: A black dot appears in the circle.

Select the COM port to use (normally COM1) from the dropdown in the Port: box of the GPIB/COM
settings area.

Click the Save button to save the selection configuration for future LMF sessions.

Click the Close button to close the LMF Options window.

Test Equipment Connection to the LMF

continued

Disconnecting and Reconnecting the LMF and the COM port The
LMF can be disconnected from the active COM port by using the
Disconnect Port button in the GPIB/COM settings area of the Test
Equipment tab. Disconnecting the LMF may be needed, for example, to
use a HyperTerminal connection for a hardware Man Machine Interface
(MMI) communication session.
Perform the following to disconnect or reconnect the LMF and the
selected COM port.

Table 3-26: Disconnect and Reconnect the LMF and the Active COM Port
Step

Action

From the LMF window menu bar select Tools > Options.
Result: The LMF Options window opens.

If the Test Equipment tab is not in the forefront, click the tab to bring it forward.

Disconnect the LMF from the active COM port: click the Disconnect Port button in the GPIB/COM
settings area.

Reconnect the LMF to the active COM port: click the Detect button in the GPIB Test equipment or
Serial Test Equipment area.

If no other operations are required in the LMF Options window click Close to close the window.

Ethernet Interface
The LMF computer Ethernet interface supports communication with test
equipment which uses the network connection method. This interface
uses Internet Protocol (IP) addressing to differentiate each node on the
network. Motorola recommends that Ethernet connection of the test
equipment and the LMF computer be done though an Ethernet hub
which includes both 10/100BaseT and coaxial 10Base2 connections.
The hub connects to the LMF computer, the test equipment and the BTS.
Connection details are as follows:
Test equipment to hub This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Ethernet cable with two 10/100BaseT 8contact modular connectors.
LMF to Hub Use one of the following cables to connect the LMF to
the Hub:
S Ethernet cable. Be sure the LMF computer Network Interface Card
(NIC) is set for either AUTO or to use the 8contact modular
connector only.
S Coaxial cable between NIC and Hub. Use a 10Base2 (BNC) tee
connector on the hub. If the hub does not have BNC connectors, use a
BNCtoUTP adapter with the tee connector. Connect a coaxial cable
between the LAN card and one end of the BNC tee crossbar.
Hub to BTS With a BNC tee connector on the hub, connect a coaxial
cable between the open end of the T crossbar and the BTS LAN
connection.

Addressing Methods

Different addressing methods are used for test equipment depending on


the type of interface connection it has. The different addressing methods
are described in the following subsections.
GPIB Addresses
GPIB addresses can range from 1 through 30. The LMF will accept any
address in that range, but the numbers entered in the LMF Options
window GPIB address box must match the addresses set in the test
equipment. Motorola recommends using 1 for a CDMA signal generator,
13 for a power meter, and 18 for a communications system analyzer. To
verify and, if necessary, change the GPIB addresses of the test
equipment, refer to the Setting GPIB Addresses sections of Appendix F.
Serial Connection
This connection type uses a direct serial connection between the test
equipment and the LMF computer platform. The Anritsu MT8212B
communications test set is an example of test equipment using this type
of connection. There are no specific addressing requirements for this
type of interface.
IP Addresses
Test equipment using the Network connection type use IP addresses to
identify them on the Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). The E7495A
and E7495B communications test sets are examples of Network
connection test equipment. Setting the IP address in the test equipment is
covered in the specific test equipment (for example, Agilent E7495)
setup section of Appendix F.

Test Set Calibration


Test Set Calibration
Test Set Calibration
Background

Proper test equipment calibration ensures that the test equipment and
associated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and that
measurements are correct.
NOTE
If the test set being used to interface with the BTS has been
calibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does not
need to be performed. (Test Set includes LMF terminal,
communications test set, additional test equipment,
associated test cables, and adapters.)
This procedure must be performed before beginning the optimization.
Verify all test equipment (including all associated test cables and
adapters actually used to interface all test equipment and the BTS) has
been calibrated and maintained as a set.
CAUTION
If any piece of test equipment, test cable, or RF adapter,
that makes up the calibrated test equipment set, has been
replaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do so
can introduce measurement errors, resulting in incorrect
measurements and degradation to system performance.

NOTE
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test equipment set. Calibrate the test
equipment after it has been allowed to warm up and
stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.

Cable Calibration
Cable Calibration
Automatic
Procedures included in this section use the LMF automated calibration
routines to determine path losses of the supported communications
analyzer, power meter, associated test cables, adapters, and (if used)
antenna switch that make up the overall calibrated test equipment set.
After calibration, the gain/loss offset values are stored in a test
measurement offset file on the LMF computer.
Manual
Also included in this section are manual cable and directional coupler
calibration procedures using a signal generator and spectrum analyzer to
determine the path losses of cables which will be used in a test
equipment set. When these procedures are used, the cable loss values
established in the calibration process must be manually entered into the
LMF. The manual entry procedures are also included in this section
under Setting Cable Loss Values.
In addition, manual cable calibration procedures using the Advantest
R3465 communications system analyzer are provided in the Manual
Cable Calibration section of Appendix F, if needed.
Calibrating Cables Overview

The cable calibration function measures the loss (in dB) for the TX and
RX cables that are to be used for testing. A CDMA analyzer is used to
measure the loss of each cable configuration (TX cable configuration and
RX cable configuration). The cable calibration consists of the following:

S Measuring the loss of a short cable This is required to compensate


for any measurement error of the analyzer. The short cable (used only
for the calibration process) is used in series with both the TX and RX
cable configuration when measuring. The measured loss of the short
cable is deducted from the measured loss of the TX and RX cable
configuration to determine the actual loss of the TX and RX cable
configurations. The result is then adjusted out of both the TX and RX
measurements to compensate for the measured loss.

S Measuring the short cable plus the RX cable configuration loss

The RX cable configuration normally consists only of a coax cable


with type-N connectors that is long enough to reach from the BTS RX
port of the test equipment. Refer to Figure 3-29, Figure 3-30,
Figure 3-31, or Figure 3-32 for specific cable and connection
requirements for each type of communications system analyzer.

S Measuring the short cable plus the TX cable configuration loss

The TX cable configuration normally consists of two coax cables with


type-N connectors and a directional coupler, a load, and an additional
attenuator (if required by the specified BTS). The total loss of the path
loss of the TX cable configuration must be as required for the BTS
(normally 30 or 50 dB). Refer to Figure 3-29, Figure 3-30,

Bay Level Offset Calibration


Bay Level Offset Calibration
Purpose of Bay Level Offset
Calibration

Bay Level Offset (BLO) calibration is the central activity of the


optimization process. BLO calibration compensates for normal
equipment variations within the BTS RF paths and assures the correct
transmit power is available at the BTS antenna connectors to meet site
performance requirements.
What is BLO Calibration?

Description
BLO calibration is the complete title of what is normally referred to as
calibration. Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every
transmit path at the BTS site. The transmit path BLO values determined
during calibration are stored in the LMF calibration data file, and are
subsequently downloaded to each BBX. When transmit path calibration
is performed, receive path BLO values will automatically be set to the
default value in the LMF calibration file and downloaded.
BTS RF Path Descriptions
Transmit (TX) path A TX path starts at an CCCP shelf BBX
backplane slot, travels through the CIO card, is routed to the Linear
Power Amplifier (LPA) trunking module for sector phase shifting,
through the LPAs, back through the LPA trunking module for sector
phase selection, through the TX bandpass filters, TX combiners, through
the Transmit & Receive Dual Directional Coupler (TRDC) or Duplexer
Directional Coupler (DRDC), and ends at the TRDC TX or DRDC
antenna connector.
Receive (RX) main path A main RX path starts at the receive
ANTENNAS connectors and travels through the associated TRDC or
DRDC, the MPC in CCCP cage slot MPC1, the CIO card, and
terminates at a backplane BBX slot in the CCCP shelf.
Diversity RX path Diversity RX paths differ for starter (standalone)
and companion frames. The following describe each type of path:

S Starter frame diversity RX path A starter frame diversity RX path


is the same as a main RX path except that it starts at the ANTENNAS
connectors travels through the associated TRDC or DRDC, and the
MPC card in CCCP cage slot MPC2.

Bay Level Offset Calibration

continued

S Companion frame diversity RX path The companion frame main

RX signal is used for the collocated companion frame diversity RX


signal. A companion frames diversity RX path starts at the
ANTENNAS connectors in the collocated companion frame. It travels
through the associated TRDC or DRDC, the MPC in CCCP cage slot
MPC1, and the CIO card where it is then routed out of the frame
through the RX expansion out connectors (RX EXPANSION 1A, 2A,
or 3A in Figure J1). The signal travels through the interframe
diversity RX cables, into the RX expansion in ports (RX
EXPANSION 1B, 2B, or 3B in Figure J1) of the companion frame,
through the Expansion MPC (EMPC) in CCCP cage slot MPC2,
the CIO, and terminates at a backplane BBX slot in the CCCP shelf.

S RFDS or CRMS Probe sampling paths Directional couplers for

RFDS signal sampling are integral to the SC4812ET Lite transmit and
receive paths in the DRDCs and TRDCs. Cables connect from these
directional couplers to the RFDS or CRMS Probe input connectors.

When to Calibrate BLOs

Calibration of BLOs is required after initial BTS installation.


The BLO data of an operational BTS site must be re-calibrated once
each year. Motorola recommends re-calibrating the BLO data for all
associated RF paths after replacing any of the following components or
associated interconnecting RF cabling:

S

S
S
S

BBX board
CCCP shelf
CIO card
CIO to PA backplane RF cable
PA backplane
LPA or CLPA
TX filter / TX filter combiner
TX thru-port cable to the top of frame

TX Path Calibration

The TX Path Calibration assures correct site installation, cabling, and the
first order functionality of all installed equipment. The proper function
of each RF path is verified during calibration. The external test
equipment is used to validate/calibrate the TX paths of the BTS.
WARNING
Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX
OUT connector you must first verify that there are no
CDMA channels keyed. Have the OMCR place the sector
assigned to the PA under test OOS. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.

CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module. If this is not done,
there is a high probability that the card/module could be
damaged by ESD.

NOTE
At new site installations, to facilitate the complete test of
each CCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populated
with BBX boards), move BBX boards from shelves
currently not under test and install them into the empty
BBX slots of the shelf currently being tested to insure that
all BBX TX paths are tested.
S This procedure can be bypassed on operational sites
that are due for periodic optimization.

S Prior to testing, view the CDF file to verify the correct

BBX slots are equipped. Edit the file as required to


include BBX slots not currently equipped (per Systems
Engineering documentation).

BLO Calibration Data File

During the calibration process, the LMF creates a calibration (BLO) data
file. After calibration has been completed, this offset data must be
downloaded to the BBXs using the Download BLO function. An
explanation of the file is shown below.
NOTE
Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends that you
print out a hard copy of a bts.cal file and refer to it for the
following descriptions.

The CAL file is subdivided into sections organized on a per slot basis (a
slot Block).
Slot 1 contains the calibration data for the 12 BBX slots. Slot 20
contains the calibration data for the redundant BBX (see Table 3-44).
Each BBX slot header block contains:

S A creation Date and Time broken down into separate parameters of


createMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.

S The number of calibration entries fixed at 720 entries corresponding


to 360 calibration points of the CAL file including the slot header and
actual calibration data.

S The calibration data for a BBX is organized as a large flat array. The

array is organized by branch, BBX slot, and calibration point.


The first breakdown of the array indicates which branch the
contained calibration points are for. The array covers transmit, main
receive and diversity receive offsets as follows:

S Refer to the hard copy of the file. As you can see, 10 calibration
points per sector are supported for each branch. Two entries are
required for each calibration point.

S The first value (all odd entries) refer to the CDMA channel

(frequency) the BLO is measured at. The second value (all even
entries) is the power set level. The valid range for PwrLvlAdj is from
2500 to 27500 (2500 corresponds to 125 dBm and 27500
corresponds to +125 dBm).

S The 20 calibration entries for each slot/branch combination must be

stored in order of increasing frequency. If less than 10 points


(frequencies) are calibrated, the largest frequency that is calibrated is
repeated to fill out the 10 points.
Example:
C[1]=384,

C[2]=19102, even cal entry
C[3]=777,
C[4]=19086,
.
.
C[19]=777,
C[20]=19086, (since only two cal points were calibrated this
would be repeated for the next 8 points)

S When the BBX is loaded with BLO data, the cal file data for the BBX
is downloaded to the device in the order it is stored in the CAL file.
TxCal data is sent first, C[1] C[60]. BBX slot 1s 10 calibration
points are sent (C[1] C[20]), followed by BBX slot 2s 10
calibration points (C[21] C[40]), etc. The RxCal data is sent next,
followed by the RxDCal data.

S Temperature compensation data is also stored in the cal file for each
slot.

Test Equipment Setup for


RF Path Calibration

Follow the steps in Table 3-45 to set up test equipment.


Table 3-45: Set Up Test Equipment for RF Path Calibration
Step

Action

If it has not already been done, refer to the procedure in Table 3-5 to interface the LMF computer
terminal to the frame LAN A connector.

If required, calibrate the test equipment per the procedure in Table 3-33.

NOTE
Verify the GPIB controller is properly connected and turned on.

! CAUTION
To prevent damage to the test equipment, all transmit (TX) test connections must be via the 30 dB
directional coupler for 800 MHz or via a 30 dB coupler with a 20 dB inline attenuator for 1900 MHz.
For TX path calibration, connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 3-22, Figure 3-21 and
Figure 3-23, depending on the communications analyzer being used.

Transmit (TX) Path Calibration


Description

The assigned channel frequency and power level (as measured at the top
of the frame) for transmit calibration is derived from the site NEC file.
For each BBX, the channel frequency is specified in the ChannelList
NEC file parameter and the power is specified in the SIFPilotPwr
NEC file parameter for the sector associated with the BBX (located
under the ParentSECTOR field of the ParentCARRIER NEC file
parameter).
The calibration procedure attempts to adjust the power to within +0.5 dB
of the desired power. The calibration will pass if the error is less than
+1.5 dB.
Transmit (TX) Bay Level Offset (BLO) Specifications SC4812ET
TX BLO specifications for different BTS configurations are as follows:
S At sites WITHOUT the RFDS option, is approximately 42.0 dB 3.0
dB.
Example BLO Calculation: TX BLO = Frame Power Output minus BBX
output level. TX output power measured at BTS (36.0 dBm) minus the
BBX TX output level (approximately 6.0 dBm) would equate to 42 dB
BLO.

S The TX Bay Level Offset at sites WITH the RFDS option, is

approximately 41.4 dB 3.0 dB. TX BLO = Frame Power Output


minus BBX output level.

Example BLO Calculation: TX BLO = Frame Power Output minus BBX


output level. TX output power measured at RFDS TX coupler
(39.4 dBm) minus the BBX TX output level (approximately 2.0 dBm)
and RFDS directional coupler/cable (approximately 0.6 dBm) would
equate to 41.4 dB BLO.
TX Calibration and the LMF

The LMF Tests > TX > TX Calibration... and Tests > All Cal/Audit...
selections perform TX BLO calibration testing for installed BBX(s). The
All Cal/Audit... selection initiates a series of actions to perform TX
calibration, and if calibration is successful, download BLO and perform
TX audit. The TX Calibration... selection performs only TX
calibration. When TX Calibration... is used, BLO download and TX
audit must be performed as separate activities. The CDMA Test
Parameters window which opens when TX Calibration... or All
Cal/Audit... is selected contains several userselectable features which
are described in the following subsections.
Rate Set Drop-down Pick List
The Rate Set Dropdown Box is enabled if at least one MCC card is
selected for the test. The available options for TX tests are 1 = 9600, and
3 = 9600 1X. Option 3 is only available if 1X cards are selected for the
test. The available transfer rate options for RX tests are 1 = 9600 and
2 = 14400. Option 2 is only available if no 1X cards are selected.

Verify BLO Checkbox


In both the TX Calibration and All Cal/Audit dialog boxes, a Verify
BLO checkbox is provided and checked by default. After the actual TX
calibration is completed during either the TX Calibration or All
Cal/Audit process, the BLO derived from the calibration is compared to
a standard, acceptable BLO tolerance for the BTS. In some installations,
additional items may be installed in the transmit path. The additional
change in gain from these items could cause BLO verification failure
and, therefore, failure of the entire calibration. In these cases, either the
Verify BLO checkbox should be unchecked or the additional path losses
should be added into each applicable sector using the
Util>Edit>TX Coupler Loss function.

Single-Sided BLO Checkbox


Normally valid values are some value plusorminus some offset. If
singlesided BLO is selected, the result will only be considered a
success if its in the lower half of the range. If it was normally success
from 3747 (which is 42 5), singlesided BLO would make it a
success only if the result was from 3742.
Test Pattern Drop-down Pick List
The Tests > TX > TX Calibration... menu window has a Test Pattern
pulldown menu. This menu has the following choices:

S Pilot (default) performs calibration using only the pilot channel.

This pattern setting should be used for inservice calibrations, and


requires selection of only a BBX.

S Standard performs calibration or audit using pilot, paging, synch,

and six traffic channels with IS97specified gain. This pattern setting
should be used for all noninservice calibrations and audits. Using
this pattern setting requires the selection of both a BBX and at least
one MCC.

S CDFPilot This pattern setting is for advanced users. It performs

calibration or audit using the CDF value for pilot gain and IS97 gain
values for all the other channels included in the Standard pattern
setting (paging, synch, and six traffic). Using this pattern setting
requires the selection of both a BBX and at least one MCC.

S CDF This pattern setting is for advanced users who need to use

CDF gain settings for all channels included in the Standard pattern
setting (pilot, paging, synch, and six traffic). Using this pattern setting
requires the selection of both a BBX and at least one MCC.

After downloading BLO data to the BBXs, the BLO data must also be
saved to a CAL file in the BTS folder on the LMF computer platform.
The CAL file must be created or updated so it can be transferred to the
OMCR. If no CAL file is stored in the BTS folder (such as after the
firsttime calibration of a new BTS), the Create Cal File function gets
the BLO data from the BBXs, creates the CAL file, and stores the BLO
data in it. If the CAL file already exists in the BTS folder, this function
will update it with the new BLO data.

NOTE
Create Cal File function only applies to selected
(highlighted) BBXs.

CAUTION
Motorola does not encourage the user to edit the CAL file
as this action can cause interface problems between the
BTS and the LMF. To manually edit the CAL file, the

RFDS Setup and Calibration


RFDS Setup and Calibration
RFDS Description

The optional RFDS is used to perform RF tests of the site from the
CBSC or from the LMF. The RFDS contains the following FRUs:

S Antenna Select Unit (ASU)


S Fixed Wireless Terminal Interface Card (FWTIC)
S Subscriber Unit Assembly (SUA)

For complete information regarding the RFDS, refer to the current issues
of CDMA RFDS Hardware Installation; 68P64113A93, CDMA RFDS
Users Guide; 68P64114A51, and the LMF Help function online
documentation (part of the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) software
application).
RFDS Parameters

The bts#.cdf file includes RFDS parameter settings that must match the
installed RFDS equipment. The paragraphs below describe the editable
parameters and their defaults. Table 3-49 explains how to edit the
parameter settings.

S RfdsEquip valid inputs are 0 through 2.


0 = (default) RFDS is not equipped
1 = Non-Cobra/Patzer box RFDS
2 = Cobra RFDS

S TsuEquip valid inputs are 0 or 1


0 = (default) TSU not equipped
1 = TSU is equipped in the system

S MC1....4 valid inputs are 0 or 1

0 = (default) Not equipped


1 = Multicouplers equipped in RFDS system
(SC9600 internal RFDS only)

S Asu1/2Equip valid inputs are 0 or 1


0 = (default) Not equipped
1 = Equipped

S TestOrigDN valid inputs are (default) or a numerical string up to


15 characters. (This is the phone number the RFDS dials when
originating a call. A dummy number needs to be set up by the switch,
and is to be used in this field.)
NOTE
Any text editor may be used to open the bts#.cdf file to
verify, view, or modify data. Because the bts#.cdf file is
generated on a Unix system, a more sophisticated editor,
such as MicroSoft WordPad, will display file content in a
more easilyread format than many simple text editors.

RFDS Calibration

The RFDS Calibration option is used to calibrate the RFDS TX and RX


paths.
TX Path Calibration For a TX antenna path calibration the BTS
XCVR is keyed at a predetermined power level and the BTS power
output level is measured by the RFDS. The power level is then measured
at the TX antenna directional coupler by the power measuring test
equipment item being used (power meter or analyzer). The difference
(offset) between the power level at the RFDS and the power level at the
TX antenna directional coupler is used as the TX RFDS calibration
offset value.
RX Path Calibration For an RX antenna path calibration the RFDS is
keyed at a predetermined power level and the power input level is
measured by the BTS BBX. A CDMA signal at the same power level
measured by the BTS BBX is then injected at the RX antenna directional
coupler by the communications system analyzer. The difference (offset)
between the RFDSkeyed power level and power level measured at the
BTS BBX is the RFDS RX calibration offset value.
RFDS calibration and the CAL file The TX and RX RFDS
calibration offset values are written to the CAL file in the slot[385]
Block.
TSIC channel frequency For each RFDS TSIC, the channel
frequency is determined at the lower third and upper third of the
appropriate band using the frequencies listed in Table 3-54.

Alarms Testing
Alarms Testing
Alarms Verification

The alarms testing should be performed at a convenient point in the


optimization/ATP process, since the LMF is necessary to ensure that the
RF cabinet is receiving the appropriate alarms from the power cabinet.
The SC4812ET is capable of concurrently monitoring 10 customer
defined input signals and four customer defined outputs, which interface
to the 50pin punchblock. All alarms are defaulted to Not Equipped
during ATP testing. Testing of these inputs is achieved by triggering the
alarms and monitoring the LMF for statetransition messages from the
active MGLI3.
All customer alarms are routed through the 50 pair punchblock located
in the I/O compartment at the back of the frame. Testing is best
accomplished by using a specialized connector that interfaces to the
50pair punchblock. This connector is wired so that customer return 1 (2
for the B side) is connected to every input, CDI 0 through CDI 17.

Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction


Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction
Introduction

General
The Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) allow Cellular Field Engineers
(CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all BTS subsystem devices
equipped in the CDF using the LMF and the test equipment it supports.
LMF User Interface
This chapter provides procedures for performing acceptance testing from
the LMF GUI environment, the recommended method. The GUI
provides the advantages of simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing
the potential for miskeying commmands and associated parameters, and
speeding up the execution of complex operations involving multiple
command strings. If it is believed the LMF command line interface
(CLI) will provide additional insight into ATP operation or unexpected
test results, refer to LMF CLI Reference.
Test Reports
The CFE can choose to save the results of ATP tests to a report file from
which ATP reports are generated for later printing. See the Generating an
ATP Report section in this chapter.
Test Equipment Selection
Because test equipment functions during acceptance testing are
controlled by the LMF through the GPIB, only the test equipment
models supported by the LMF can be used.
CAUTION
1. Before using the LMF, read the Developer Release
Notes for WinLMF section in the LMF Help function
online documentation (part of the Local Maintenance
Facility (LMF) software application) for any
applicable information. Pay particular attention to the
Caveats/Known Issues part of this section.
2. The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service
sectors only.
3. DO NOT substitute test equipment with other models
not supported by the LMF.

Test Equipment Set Calibration


Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed interconnection information needed for
calibrating equipment, cables, and other test equipment set components.

Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction

continued

Reduced ATP

NOTE
Equipment has been factorytested for FCC compliance. If
licensegoverning bodies require documentation
supporting BTS site compliance with regulations, a full
ATP may be necessary. Perform the Reduced ATP only if
reports for the specific BTS site are NOT required.
After downloading the proper operational software to the BTS, the CFE
must perform these procedures (minimal recommendation):
1. Verify the TX/RX paths by performing TX Calibration, TX Audit,
and the Code Domain Power and FER tests.
2. Be sure calibration data for all equipped carrier sectors is obtained
and loaded on the OMCR (packet) or CBSC (circuit) for normal
site operation.

Failures During Testing


Should failures occur while performing the specified tests, refer to the
Basic Troubleshooting section of this manual for help in determining the
failure point. Once the point of failure has been identified and corrected,
refer to the FRU Optimization and ATP Test Matrix (Table C-1) in
Appendix C to determine the applicable test that must be performed.
In the unlikely event that the BTS passes these tests but has a forward
link problem during normal operation, the CFE should then perform the
additional TX tests for troubleshooting: TX spectral mask, TX rho, and
TX code domain.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedures TX & RX


Automated Acceptance Test Procedures TX & RX
Automated ATP

This section covers the general requirements and procedures for


conducting both automated ATP testing and performing individual ATP
tests.
Automated ATP Test Options

Acceptance tests can be run individually or as one of the following


automated groups:

S All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.
These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, and MCIO cards, the PAs and
passive components including ETMs, (S)PLCs, TX filters, and RF
cables.

S All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.
These include the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion
frames), MCIO, BBX, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive
components including RX filters (starter frame only), and RF cables.

S All TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests.


S Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads the BLO,
and executes the TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests.
NOTE
The Full Optimization test can be run if TX path
calibration is needed before the TX and RX acceptance
tests are run.
If manual testing has been performed with the HP analyzer,
remove the manual control/system memory card from the
card slot and set the I/O Config to the Talk & Lstn mode
before starting the automated testing.
The STOP button can be used to stop the testing process.

Required Test Equipment

The following test equipment is required:

S LMF
S Power meter (used with HP8921A/600 and Advantest R3465)
S Communications system analyzer
S Signal generator for FER testing (required for all communications
system analyzers except the Agilent E7495A/B for 1X FER)

WARNING

S Before installing any test equipment directly to any


BTS TX OUT connector, verify that there are no
CDMA channels keyed.

S At active sites, have the OMCR operator place the

carrier assigned to the PAs under test OOS. Failure to


do so can result in serious personal injury and/or
equipment damage.

NOTE
Test equipment must be recalibrated before using it to
perform acceptance tests.

ATP Test Prerequisites

NOTE
For the SC4812TMC BTS, all CLPA modules in a
3sector frame must be INS during any TX testing. In a
6sector frame, all CLPA modules sharing a trunked group
must be INS during any TX testing. There are two trunked
groups in a 6 sector frame. Group one includes MCM1,
CLPA modules in slots 1 and 2 and sectors 13 of the
frame, Group two includes MCM2, CLPA modules in slots
3 and 4 and sectors 46 of the frame.
Before attempting to run any ATP tests, ensure the following have been
completed:

S BTS has been optimized (BBXs calibrated and BLOs downloaded)


(Chapter 3)

S The carrier(s) and/or sector(s) to be tested have been taken out of

Individual Tests
Individual Tests
TX and RX Testing

The following individual ATP tests can be used to evaluate specific


aspects of BTS operation against individual performance requirements.
All testing is performed using the LMF GUI environment.
TX Testing
TX tests verify transmit antenna paths and output power control. All
tests are performed using the external, calibrated test equipment. All
measurements are made at the appropriate BTS TX OUT connector(s).
TX tests verify TX operation of the entire CDMA forward link using
selected BBXs assigned to respective sector antennas. Each BBX is
keyed up to generate a CDMA carrier (using both bbxlevel and BLO) at
the CDF or NEC filespecified carrier output power level.

RX Testing
RX testing verifies receive antenna paths for BBXs selected for the test.
All tests are performed using the external, calibrated test equipment to
inject a CDMA RF carrier with all zero longcode at the specified RX
frequency at the appropriate BTS RX IN connector(s).
RX tests verify RX operation of the entire CDMA reverse link.
Individual Tests

Spectral Purity TX Mask (Primary & Redundant BBX)


This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generated
on each sector meets the transmit spectral mask specification with
respect to the assigned CDF or NEC file values.
Waveform Quality (Rho)
This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot channel element digital
waveform quality (rho) exceeds the minimum specified value in IS97.
Rho represents the correlation between the actual and perfect CDMA
modulation spectrums. 1.0000 represents 100% (or perfect correlation).
Pilot Time Offset
The Pilot Time Offset is the difference between the CDMA analyzer
measurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference) and the
incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only, Pilot
Gain = 262, PN Offset = 0).
Code Domain Power/Noise Floor
This test verifies the code domain power levels, which have been set for
all ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is
done by verifying that the ratio of PILOT divided by OCNS is equal to
10.2 + 2 dB, and, that the noise floor of all EVEN numbered OFF
Walsh channels measures < 27 dB for IS95A/B and CDMA2000 1X
with respect to total CDMA channel power.

Frame Error Rate (FER)


The Frame Error Rate (FER) test verifies RX operation of the entire
CDMA Reverse Link using all equipped MCCs assigned to all
respective sectors/antennas. This test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all
traffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs at
an RF input level of 119 dBm (or 116 dBm if using TMPC).
NOTE
There are no pass/fail criteria associated with FER readings
taken at levels below 119 dBm, other than to verify that
the FER measurement reflects changes in the RX input
signal level.

Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)


This test verifies the gain for BTS reverse (RX) paths for each
carriersector selected is within requirements for correct BBX receiver
operation for the operating band of the BTS as follows:

S 800 MHz: +15 dB (65 dBm or greater)


S 1900 and 2100 MHz: +9 dB (71 dBm or greater)

TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance Test


TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance Test
TX Mask Test

This test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX carrier keyed up at a
specific frequency specified in the current NEC files. All tests are
performed using the external calibrated test set, controlled by the same
command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT
(BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna, and all channel elements
from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using
both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only). BBX power output is set to obtain +40 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDS
directional coupler).

NOTE
TX output power is set to +40 dBm by setting BTS power
level to +33.5 dBm to compensate for 6.5 dB increase from
pilot gain set to 541.
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the
attenuation level of all spurious and IM products in a 30 kHz resolution
bandwidth. With respect to the mean power of the CDMA channel
measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth in dB, verify that results meet
system tolerances at the following test points:

S 1.7/1.9 GHz:
at least 45 dB @ + 900 kHz from center frequency
at least 45 dB @ 900 kHz from center frequency

S 800 MHz:

at least 45 dB @ + 750 kHz from center frequency


at least 45 dB @ 750 kHz from center frequency
at least 60 dB @ 1980 kHz from center frequency
at least 60 dB @ 1980 kHz from center frequency

The BBX then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to


assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.
See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

TX Waveform Quality (rho) Acceptance Test
Rho Test

This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element digital waveform
quality of each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency specified in
the current NEC files. All tests are performed using the external
calibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurements
are via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all channel elements
from the MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using
both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to
40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or
RFDS directional coupler).

The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
channel element digital waveform quality (rho) in dB, verifying that the
result meets system tolerances:

S Waveform quality (rho) should be w0.912 (0.4dB).


The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.

TX Pilot Time Offset Acceptance Test
Pilot Offset Test

This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element Pilot Time Offset
of each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency specified in the
current NEC files. All tests are performed using the external calibrated
test set controlled by the same command. All measurements are via the
appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all TCH elements from
the MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using both
bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to
40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or
RFDS directional coupler).
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
Time Offset in s, verifying results meet system tolerances:

S Pilot Time Offset should be within v3 ms of the target PT


Offset (0 ms).

The BBX then de-keys, and if selected, the MCC is re-configured to


assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.
See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test


TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test
Code Domain Power Test

This test verifies the Code Domain (CD) power/noise floor of each BBX
carrier transmitting at a specific frequency as listed in the current CDF
file assignment. All tests are performed using the external calibrated test
set controlled by the same command. All measurements are via the
appropriate TX OUT connector.
For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCC
channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal
Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to be
assigned a fullrate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC Channel
Elements (CE) to be tested at any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes).
If more than 32 CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made
to verify all CEs on all sectors.

BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT


connector.
Verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for all ODD
numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is done by
verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) is equal to
10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all OFF Walsh channels
measures < 27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power).
NOTE
When performing this test using the LMF and the MCC is
an MCC8E or MCC24E, the redundant BBX may fail or
show marginal performance. This is due to a timing
mismatch that the LMF does not address. Performing this
test from the CBSC will not have this timing problem.
After all channels are tested, the BBX(s) under test are de-keyed, and the
redundant BBX (BBXR), if selected, is assigned to the current TX
antenna path under test. The test is then repeated. Upon completion of
the test, OCNS is disabled on the specified MCC CE.

RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test


RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test
FER Test

This test verifies the BTS FER on all traffic channel elements currently
configured on all equipped MCCs (full rate at 1% FER) at an RF input
level of 119 dBm [or 116 dBm if using Tower Top
Amplifier (TMPC)]. All tests are performed using the external calibrated
test set as the signal source controlled by the same command. All
measurements are through the LMF.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each TX antenna, and all channel
elements from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed
up, using only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with
pilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to 20 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector. The BBX must be keyed to enable
the RX receive circuitry.

The LMF prompts the MCC/CE under test to measure all zero longcode
and provide the FER report on the selected active MCC on the reverse
link for both the main and diversity RX antenna paths, verifying that
results meet the following specification:

S FER returned less than 1% and total frames measured is 1500


All MCC/CEs selected are tested on the specified RX antenna path. The
BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assign
the applicable redundant BBX to the current RX antenna paths under
test. The test is then repeated.
See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Acceptance Test


Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Acceptance Test
Background

Overview This test verifies Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)


for the selected sectors to ensure integrity of the reverse (RX) path and
that path losses are within tolerances required for correct receiver
operation. Testing is performed using the calibrated external test
equipment as the signal source. The test equipment is controlled by the
LMF during the test. The receive signal generated by the test equipment
is injected into the sector RX path to be tested at the applicable BTS
main and/or diversity receive ports.
Equipment operation during testing The LMF sets the pilot channel
power level of the BBX for the selected sector to 150 dBm (measured
at the TX port of the frame) and keys the BBX on pilot channel only to
enable the RX circuitry. The LMF then commands the test equipment to
generate the receive signal on the selected carrier at 80 dBm as
measured at the BTS RX port.
Test measurements The power level of the received signal is
measured by the BBX. The LMF corrects the measured power of the
signal using the RX BLO from the BBX database and determines if the
corrected signal gain is equal to or greater than the following specified
criteria for the band in which the BTS operates:

S 800 MHz: +15 dB (65 dBm or greater)


S 1900 and 2100 MHz: +9 dB (71 dBm or greater)
Redundant BBX testing When the redundant BBX is selected for
RSSI testing, the test is run on those carriersectors specified in the
Channels/Carriers pick list and the receive path(s) selected in the RX
Branch dropdown list (refer to Table 4-3).

Introduction to Packet BTS Transport Configuration


Introduction to Packet BTS Transport Configuration
There are several backhaul configurations used for traffic and control
signalling transport between a packet BTS and the OMCR. For
SC4812series and SC48x BTS models all of these depend on correctly
setting the GLI3 card operating mode to interface with the required
backhaul configuration. The backhaul configurations are:
S Integrated BTS Router (IBR)

S External BTS Router (EBR)


Content Summary

This chapter contains information and procedures necessary to configure


GLI3 cards for the backhaul configuration required for a packet BTS.
When additional procedures required for this are contained in other
sections of this publication or in other publications, the procedures in
this chapter will specify them at the point in the configuration process
where they are necessary.
This chapter contains procedures to accomplish the following:
S Determine GLI3 card:
Installed software version
Operating mode
Backhaul mode
S Loading GLI3 cards with code for the required software release

S Convert GLI3 card to IBR operation


S Convert GLI3 card to EBR operation
S Enable File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP)

Applicability

When to Use GLI3 Conversion Procedures in this Chapter


Procedures in this chapter are only for use in configuring GLI3 cards to
interface with the transport technique for which the BTS hardware has
already been configured. These include GLI3 cards in a newly installed
BTS and replacement GLI3 cards in an existing nonredundant BTS.
When to Use BTS Conversion Procedures from Another
Publication
If the BTS hardware configuration is being converted from one transport
techinque to another (for example, from IBR to EBR), the procedures in
the applicable BTS model conversion or upgrade manual must be used
instead of the procedures in this chapter. Table 5-1, below, lists the
various Motorolasupported packet BTS transport conversions along
with the applicable conversion or upgrade manual title needed to
perform the conversion. For more information on the applicable
conversion or upgrade manuals and how to obtain them, refer to the
Required Documents and Related Publications section of Chapter 1.

GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code


GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code
If a GLI3 card is not loaded with code which supports the required BTS
backhaul configuration, it is necessary to load code into the card for the
correct software release.
Software release affect on
backhaul mode

The software release of the code loaded in a GLI card determines which
packet backhaul modes the card will support. Table 5-2 lists GLI3
backhaul modes along with the earliest Motorola software release which
supports each.

Loading code into GLI3 cards

Unless the customer knows the operating history and the exact software
release installed in them, GLI3 cards will initialize to an unknown
operating mode with a software release which may not support the
required backhaul mode.
The code loading methods for packet mode cards listed in Table 5-3 have
been changed with softare release 2.22.0.x (R22.0). Beginning with
R22.0, the WinLMF has the capability to load code into a packet GLI3.
The Motorolarecommended method to load GLI3 cards onsite is to
use the WinLMF. To do this, the BTS must have active spans which
allow the GLI3 cards to communicate with the network for DHCP
purposes. The second choice is preloading GLI3 cards with the correct
software release code and then transporting them to the base station site.
Preloaded cards can be exchanged for the GLI3 cards installed in the
BTS. The cards removed can be preloaded for the next new base station
installation or for use as spares.
Loading GLI3 cards with the WinLMF
(Motorolarecommended)
To load code to packet GLI3 cards with the WinLMF, refer to the
procedure in Table 3-13.

green).

Contact the OMCR operator to request the OOS_SBY GLI3 be enabled, and ask the operator to
provide notification when the action is complete.

NOTE
Enabling the card will cause code to download to the card if the current loads in the card do not match
those required for the BTS.
Wait at least 17 minutes for the card to complete this operation and/or the STA indicator to change to
slow flashing green before proceeding beyond the next step.

IBR Implementation Overview

Addition of fractional span support for IBRequipped packet BTS in


R18.0 has made IBR implementation at the BTS a twopart process. The
parts are:
1. Preparation actions
2. Configure GLI3 cards for IBR operation in either:
Full span or
Fractional span configuration

IBR Conversion Preparation

Follow the procedure in Table 5-9 to prepare the site for configuring the
GLI3 card(s) for IBR operation.
Table 5-9: IBR Configuration Preparation

Step

Action

Contact the OMCR and notify the operator that GLI3 transport configuration operations are starting.

With the BTS fully powered up, the GLI3 card(s) should have been seated in the correct slots. If not,
seat the card(s) at this time and allow each to complete its initialization.

Make sure the GLItoGLI double crossover Fast Ethernet (FE) cable (Table 5-8) is installed
between in the GLI connectors of the GLI3 cards

If it was not previously done, follow the procedure in Table 5-5 to verify the software version in the
GLI3 card(s)

If the GLI3 software requires upgrading for IBR capability, review the GLI3 Required Software
Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code section of this chapter to determine how to proceed with
loading IBRcapable software into the card.

NOTE
Only one card in a BTS with redundant GLI3s is required to have IBRcapable software. This card
must be the INS_ACT card (shows light green in the LMF) in the BTS. The INS_ACT GLI will be the
first card in the BTS which is downloaded with code and data from the LMF. The INS_ACT GLI3
will crossload the correct software to the INS_SBY GLI3.
6

Refer to the site documentation for IBR spans and inspect the BTS span cabling connections to be sure
they match the requirements.

Correct any cabling discrepancies between the BTS span cabling and site documentation, referring to
the BTS hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual as needed (Required Documents and
Related Publications section of Chapter 1).

If it has not already been done, follow the procedure in Table 3-10 to establish an MMI
communication session with the INS_ACT GLI3 card.

To complete the IBR conversion, perform one of the following, depending on what span configuration
has been provisioned for the BTS at the OMCR:

S If the BTS is provisioned with one or two full spans (24 DS0 for T1, 31 DS0 for E1), perform the
procedure in Table 5-10.

S If the BTS is provisioned with a fractional span (less than 24 DS0 for T1, less than 31 DS0 for E1),
perform the procedure in Table 5-11.

Convert GLI3 Cards to IBR


Operation

The procedure used to convert GLI3 cards to IBR operation depends on

Press the Enter key to display the GLI3 > prompt
Reset the card using the MMI reset command

NOTE
In a redundant frame, if the INS_ACT GLI3 cannot be reset before the INS_SBY GLI3 completes its
reboot, perform steps 1 through 8 again for each card, reset the INS_SBY GLI3, and then reset the
INS_ACT GLI3 using the hardware RESET button on the front of each card.
14

NOTE
Upon rebooting after the convert_ibr operation, the GLI3 cards will begin sending Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) requests over their backplane span connections. If they do not receive a
response within 50 minutes (redundant cards) or 25 minutes (nonredundant cards), they will
automatically reset to their previous backhaul mode (configuration fallback). The BTS must be placed
under OMCR control and initialized in packet mode within these times or the convert_ibr operation
must be performed again.
If continual problems are experienced with GLI3 configuration fallback before the OMCR can take
control of the BTS, do the following for each installed GLI3 card:
1. Perform the convert_ibr operation from steps 1 through 8 for the INS_SBY card.
2. Perform the exception procedure in Table 5-12 for the INS_SBY card.
3. Start an MMI session with the INS_ACT card and perform steps 1 through 8.
4. Perform the exception procedure in Table 5-12 for the INS_ACT card.
5. Resume this procedure at step 12, and follow the procedure to completion.

15

Wait at least 17 minutes for the cards to complete the rebooting operation and/or the STA indicator to
change to slow flashing green before attempting to proceed with the next step.

NOTE
Upon its first initialization with R18.0 or later RAM code, a packet GLI3 card will reallocate flash
memory space for a duplicate copy of the bootROM code. It will then write a redundant copy of the
code image to the new memory area. Visual indication of this process is provided by the STA LED
flashing orange at 0.5 second intervals. This onetime process can cause the card to require up to 17
minutes to complete initialization to an INS state. Once the redundant image is created on the card, the
extended 17minute upgrade process will not be repeated, even if the card is later downgraded to
preR18.0 software.
16

When all preparations for BTS operation are completed, contact the OMCR, notify the operator that
the BTS is ready for operation, and request notification when the operator no longer requires support
onsite.

EBR conversion preparation

Do the following to prepare a new BTS for converting the GLI3 card(s)
to EBR operation.
Table 5-14: EBR Conversion Preparation
Step

Action

Contact the OMCR, and:


1. Notify the operator that EBR conversion preparation is starting
2. Request the operator provide notification when the OMCR is ready to initialize the BTS.

If it was not previously done, verify the software version in the GLI3 card(s) as described in Chapter 4
of the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type (refer to the Required Documents and Related
Publications section of Chapter 1).

If it was not previously done, follow the procedure in Table 5-5 to verify the software version in the
GLI3 card(s)

If the GLI3 software requires upgrading for EBR capability,, review the GLI3 Required Software
Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code section of this chapter to determine how to proceed with
loading IBR/EBRcapable software into the card.

NOTE
Only one card in a BTS with redundant GLI3s is required to have IBRcapable software. This card
must be the INS_ACT card (shows light green in the LMF) in the BTS. The INS_ACT GLI will be the
first card in the BTS which is downloaded with code and data from the LMF. The INS_ACT GLI3
will crossload the correct software to the INS_SBY GLI3.
5

Refer to the site documentation for EBR spans and inspect the BTS span cabling connections to be
sure they match the requirements.

! CAUTION
Do not crossconnect external BTS router span cables to active spans in the termination equipment
when performing the procedures in this step.
Correct any cabling discrepancies between the BTS span cabling and site documentation, referring to
the BTS hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual as needed (Required Documents and
Related Publications section of Chapter 1)..

Inspect the BTS and BTStoEBR 10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet (FE) cabling and be sure it matches
the required configuration for the EBR group type installed (redundant or nonredundant) according to
the hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual.

If the FE cabling has not yet been functionally verified, verify it as described in the Fast Ethernet
Verification chapter of the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type.

Action

NOTE
In redundant frames, the INS_SBY GLI3 card must be reset first. Then the INS_ACT GLI3 card must
be reset (step 7) within approximately 45 seconds of the INS_SBY GLI3 (step 6) to make sure neither
card reboots with configuration files for operation with external BTS routers. If one GLI3 completes
initialization before the other is reset, steps 1 and 2 must be repeated for each card and the cards reset
again.
Use the MMI reset command to reset the GLI3 card where the MMI cable is connected.

Perform the following within 45 seconds of resetting the INS_SBY GLI3 card:

Configuring BTS File Transfer Protocol Introduction


Configuring BTS File Transfer Protocol Introduction
Motorola BTS models have used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer
data to and from the OMCR since the introduction of packet data
transport. Evolution of the traditional closed transport system to an Open
Transport Interface (OTI) has emphasized the need to provide customers
with increased security for data transfers. Motorola has incorporated
Secure FTP (SFTP) into the CDMA Network Elements (NE) to address
the problem of data security over open, unsecured networks. SFTP is
supported on all Motorola NE and Operations Support Subsystems
(OSS) beginning with CDMA software release 2.21.0.
The LMF is equipped with a utility which is used to select either FTP or
SFTP for information transfer between the BTS and the OMCR. This
utility is only used at the cell site before communication is established
with the OMCR to select the transfer protocol for a newly installed
BTS (greenfield) or after replacement of a nonredundant GLI3 card.
LMF file transfer protocol
setting utility

When the LMF is logged into a BTS, the file transfer protocol utility is
available as the Secure FTP Settings selection under Util on the BTS
tab menu bar . The Secure FTP Settings dialog box for the utility
contains a number of selection items which are available depending on
the protocol with which the BTS is operating.
NOTE
The protocol being used by the BTS is marked with a black
dot in its radio button when the dialog box first opens.

Table 6-7: Reset BTS Devices and Remote Site Initialization


Step
3

Action
From the BTS site, contact the OMCR and request the operator to PREACTIVATE the BTS to the
required software version for the BSS. There are two types of PREACTIVATE load processes:
Rolling Upgrade: This load process is only available when the BTS cards are populated for full
redundancy as applicable.
Quick Reboot: This process is used when there is not full redundancy for the BTS cards. The
GLI3 will disable and reboot to the new load. This will cause all the other cards to go out of
service. Once it is rebooted, the GLI3 determines which cards require a new load and then
downloads the cards in the order which they establish communication with the GLI3 following
their reboot. The GLI3 can reload up to 16 devices simultaneously.

NOTE
Upon its first initialization with R18.0 or later RAM code, a packet GLI3 card will reallocate flash
memory space for a duplicate copy of the bootROM code. It will then write a redundant copy of the
code image to the new memory area. Visual indication of this process is provided by the STA LED
flashing orange at 0.5 second intervals. This onetime process can cause the card to require up to 17
minutes to complete initialization to an INS state. Once the redundant image is created on the card, the
extended 17minute upgrade process will not be repeated, even if the card is later downgraded to
preR18.0 software.
Wait at least 17 minutes for the card to complete this operation and/or the STA indicator to change to
slow flashing green before attempting to proceed with the next step.

Account for all tools used and parts removed from the frame during the operations, being sure none
were left inside the frame.

Visually inspect the frame for any foreign objects left inside, and remove any discovered.

Visually inspect all cable connections, ensuring they are connected as required for normal BTS
operation.

Be sure all internal frame cables are routed and secured to prevent damage to them when the frame
doors are closed.

Close and secure the cabinet doors.

Verify no alarm conditions are being reported to the OMCR with the frame doors closed.

10

After all activities at the site have been completed, contact the OMCR and confirm that the BTS is
under OMCR control.

Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist


Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist
Problem Description

Many of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) card failures may


be resolved in the field before sending the cards to the factory for repair.
This section describes known CSM problems identified in field returns,
some of which are field-repairable. Check these problems before
returning suspect CSM cards.
No GPS Reference Source

Correct Hardware
Check the CSM cards for proper hardware configuration for the type of
GPS in use and the cage slot where they are installed.
RFGPS (Local GPS) CSM kit SGLN1145, which should be installed
in card slot l, has an oncard GPS receiver; while kit SGLN4132, in card
slot 2, does not have a GPS receiver.
Remote GPS (RGPS) Kit SGLN4132ED or later, which should be
installed in both card slot 1 and card slot 2, does not have a GPS
receiver. Any incorrectly configured card must be returned to the repair
center. Do not attempt to change hardware configuration in the field.
GPS Subsystem Installation
Perform the following:
1. Inspect the GPS antenna and cabling for damage, water leaks, or
loose connections.
2. Verify that the GPS antenna and lightning arrestor have not been
damaged by lightning strikes.
3. Verify that the GPS antenna has a clear view to the sky. The GPS
antenna should ideally have a clear view in all directions for
elevations above 20 degrees from the horizon. Suitable GPS
operation can be realized with as much as a 50 percent blockage in
visibility. Any decrease in visibility greater than 50 percent will
likely result in increased numbers of GPS reference source failure
alarms.

Takes Too Long for CSM to


Come INS

Investigate the following to identify the source of delays in CSM cards


reaching the INS state:
GPS acquisition delay This problem may be caused by a delay in
GPS acquisition. Check the accuracy flag status and/or current position.
Refer to the CSM System time GPS, LFR and HSO/MSO verification
section in Chapter 3. At least one satellite should be visible and tracked
for the surveyed mode and four satellites should be visible and tracked
for the estimated mode. Also, verify correct base site position data
used in surveyed mode.
GPS satellite reception problems Delays in bringing CSM cards INS
are usually due to GPS satellite reception problems. Verify that the GPS
antenna is provided with a clear view to the sky. The GPS antenna
should ideally have a clear view in all directions for elevations above 20
degrees to the horizon. Suitable GPS operation can be realized with as
much as a 50% blockage in visibility. Any decrease in visibility beyond
50% will likely result in increased CSM initialization times.

Antenna system path losses Verify that no more than a 10dB signal
loss at a 1.575GHz frequency is present between the GPS antenna and
RF modem frame GPS antenna input. The total GPS antenna system
noise figure (including all preamplifiers, cabling and splitter losses) must
be less than 4.0dB. Higher GPS antenna system noise figures will result
in degraded GPS receiver performance.
Antenna location coordinates Verify that the GPS antenna coordinate
information contained in the BTS CDF or NEC file is accurate. The
<BtsLatGps>, <BtsLongGps> and <BtsHeightGps> should be within
+/200m in the estimated mode and +/30m in the surveyed mode. The
surveyed mode should only be used when absolutely necessary.

CCCP Backplane Troubleshooting


CCCP Backplane Troubleshooting
Overview

The CCCP backplane is a multilayer board that interconnects all the


CCCP modules. The complexity of this board lends itself to possible
improper diagnoses when problems occur.
Connector Functionality

The following connector overview describes the major types of


backplane connectors along with the functionality of each. This will
allow the Cellular Field Engineer (CFE) to:
S Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem
type.
S Allow the isolation of problems to a specific cable or connector.
Primary A and Redundant B ISB (Inter Shelf Bus)
connectors
The 40 pin ISB connectors provide an interface bus from the master GLI
to all other GLIs in the modem frame. Its basic function is to provide
clock synchronization from the master GLI to all other GLIs in the
frame.
The ISB is also provides the following functions:
S Groom span line when a single span is used for multiple cages.
S Provide MMI connection to/from the master GLI to cell site modem.
S Provide interface between GLIs and the AMR (for reporting BTS
alarms).
Span Line Connector
The span line input is an 8 pin RJ45 connector that provides a primary
and secondary (if used) span line interface to each GLI in the CCCP
shelf. The span line is used for MM/EMX switch control of the Master
GLI and also all the BBX traffic.
Power Input (Return A, B, and C connectors)
Provides a +27 Volt input for use by the power supply modules.
Power Supply Module Interface
Each power supply module has a series of three different connectors to
provide the needed inputs/outputs to the CCCP backplane. These
include a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pin
interface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The Transceiver
Power Module converts 27/48 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, +5.0 Volts
to be used by the CCCP shelf cards.
GLI Connector
This connector consists of a Harting 4SU digital connector and a
6conductor coaxial connector for RDM distribution. The connectors
provide inputs/outputs for the GLIs in the CCCP backplane.
SEP 2009

CCCP Backplane Troubleshooting

continued

GLI Ethernet A and B Connections


These BNC connectors are located on the CCCP backplane and routed
to the GLI board. This interface provides all the control and data
communications between the master GLI and the other GLIs, between
gateways, and for the LMF on the LAN.
BBX Connector
Each BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connector
and two 6conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC,
digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the CCCP backplane.
CIO Connectors

S RX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX TriFilters

(on the I/O plate), and via coaxial cables to the two MPC modules
the six A (main) signals go to one MPC; the six B (diversity) to
the other. The MPC outputs the lownoiseamplified signals via the
CCCP backplane to the CIO where the signals are split and sent to
the appropriate BBX.

S A digital bus then routes the baseband signal through the BBX, to the
backplane, then on to the MCC slots.

S Digital TX antenna path signals originate at the MCC24s. Each

output is routed from the MCC slot via the backplane appropriate
BBX.

S TX RF path signal originates from the BBX, through the backplane to


the CIO, through the CIO, and via multi-conductor coaxial cabling to
the PAs in the PA shelf.

CCCP Backplane
Troubleshooting Procedure

The following table provides a standard procedure for troubleshooting


problems that appear to be related to a defective CCCP backplane. The
table is broken down into possible problems and steps which should be
taken in an attempt to find the root cause.

Check to see that all RFDS boards show green on the front panel indicators. Visually check (both
board and backplane) for damage.

Replace any boards that do not show green with known good boards one at a time in the following
order. Retest after each is replaced.
RFDS ASU board.
RFDS Transceiver board.

All RX and TX paths fail

If every receive or transmit path fails, the problem most likely lies with
the rf converter board or the transceiver board. Refer to Table 7-34 for
fault isolation procedures.

Troubleshooting: GLI3 card continually reboots after converting to


satellite backhaul
Troubleshooting: GLI3 card continually reboots after converting to
satellite backhaul
At times, a GLI3 card which should have been converted to satellite
backhaul will continuously reboot and display MMI messages similar to
the following:
Reset due Backhaul
Reset due Backhaul
DHCP attempt timed
Reset due Backhaul

timeout
timeout
out
timeout

This condition can occur when the GLI3 card(s) backhaul type has not
actually changed to satellite with associated longer timeout
periods. In this situation, the BTS can appear INS_ACTIVE at the
OMCR but will be generating communication alarms such as Packet
Backhaul Down. The BTS and OMCR will be unable to communicate.
Because of this, a site visit is needed to correct this condition.
This procedure can also be used to preconfigure a GLI3 card for
satellite backhaul before commissioning or converting a BTS.
Prerequisites

The following are required to perform the corrective procedure:

S Laptop computer with at least one serial port or laptop computer

meeting the LMF computer platform requirements specified in the


BTS optimization/ATP manual

S One of the following:


Motorola cable part number CGDSMMICABLE219112 (see
Figure 3-9 for connection)
Fabricated DB9 receptacleto8 contact MMI connector cable
(see the MMI Cable Fabrication Section of Appendix L for
fabrication instructions and Figure 3-9 for connection)
SLN2006A MMI Interface Kit (see Figure 3-10) (this kit is no
longer available to order), consisting of the following:
Motorola Model TRN9666A null modem board
Motorola 3009786R01 MMI cable or equivalent

S (For use with SLN2006A only) Straightthrough RS232 cable,


DB9 to DB9, and DB9 to DB25 connector adapter (see
Figure 3-10)

S A terminal emulation application such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY


Performing the correction

Perform the following to convert the GLI3 card to satellite backhaul and
establish communication with the OMCR.

RESET Pushbutton Depressing the RESET pushbutton causes a


partial reset of the CPU and a reset of all board devices. The GLI is
placed in the OOS_ROM state
MMI Connector The RS232MMI port connector is intended to be
used primarily in the development or factory environment but may be
used in the field for debug/maintenance purposes.
10/100BaseT Ethernet Connectors Four 8contact modular
receptacles are located on the front panel of a GLI3 card. The BPR A
and BPR B connectors provide interfaces with for external BTS routers
for packet traffic transport. The GLI connector provides two Ethernet
connections in the same connector. The two connections provide a
passthrough for each BTS internal 10/100BaseT subnet to support
packet transport redundancy. The AUX connector provides an Ethernet
interface for external devices which may be used with the BTS in the
future.
Table 7-39 shows the front panel of the GLI3 card and includes a
description of the components.

Background

B
All channel elements transmitted from a BTS in a particular 1.25 MHz
CDMA channel are orthonogonally spread by 1 of 64 possible Walsh
code functions; additionally, they are also spread by a quadrature pair of
PN sequences unique to each sector.
Overall, the mobile uses this to differentiate multiple signals transmitted
from the same BTS (and surrounding BTS) sectors, and to synchronize
to the next strongest sector.
The PN offset per sector is stored on the BBXs, where the
corresponding I & Q registers reside.
The PN offset values are determined on a per BTS/per sector(antenna)
basis as determined by the appropriate cdf file content. A breakdown of
this information is found in Table B-1.

Usage

There are three basic RF chip delays currently in use. It is important to


determine what RF chip delay is valid to be able to test the BTS
functionality. This can be done by ascertaining if the CDF file
FineTxAdj value was set to on when the MCC was downloaded with
image data. The FineTxAdj value is used to compensate for the
processing delay (approximately 20 mS) in the BTS using any type of
mobile meeting IS97 specifications.
Observe the following guidelines:

S If the FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 101 (65 HEX), the

FineTxAdj has not been set. The I and Q values from the 0 table
MUST be used.

If the FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 213 (D5 HEX), FineTxAdj has
been set for the 14 chip table.

S If the FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 197 (C5 HEX), FineTxAdj
has been set for the 13 chip table.
NOTE
CDF file I and Q values can be represented in DECIMAL
or HEX. If using HEX, add 0x before the HEX value. If
necessary, convert HEX values in Table B-1 to decimal
before comparing them to cdf file I & Q value
assignments.

If you are using a Qualcomm mobile, use the I and Q values from
the 13 chip delay table.
If you are using a mobile that does not have the 1 chip offset
problem, (any mobile meeting the IS97 specification), use the 14
chip delay table.

NOTE
If the wrong I and Q values are used with the wrong
FineTxAdj parameter, system timing problems will occur.
This will cause the energy transmitted to be smeared
over several Walsh codes (instead of the single Walsh code
that it was assigned to), causing erratic operation. Evidence
of smearing is usually identified by Walsh channels not at
correct levels or present when not selected in the Code
Domain Power Test.

Reoptimization
Usage & Background

Periodic maintenance of a site may also mandate reoptimization of


specific portions of the site. An outline of some basic guidelines is
included in the following tables.
NOTE

Reoptimization steps listed for any assembly detailed in


the tables below must be performed anytime an RF cable
associated with it is replaced.

Detailed Optimization/ATP Test


Matrix

Table C-1 outlines in more detail the tests that would need to be
performed if one of the BTS components were to fail and be replaced. It
is also assumes that all modules are placed OOSROM via the LMF
until full redundancy of all applicable modules is implemented.
The following guidelines should also be noted when using this table.
NOTE
Not every procedure required to bring the site back in
service is indicated in Table C-1. It is meant to be used as a
guideline ONLY. The table assumes that the user is familiar
enough with the BTS Optimization/ATP procedure to
understand which test equipment set ups, calibrations, and
BTS site preparation will be required before performing the
Table # procedures referenced.
Various passive BTS components (such as the DRDCs, filter; etc.) only
require a TX calibration audit to be performed in lieu of a full path
calibration. If the TX path calibration audit fails, the entire RF path
calibration will need to be repeated. If the RF path calibration fails,
further troubleshooting is warranted.
Whenever any CCCP BACKPLANE is replaced, it is assumed that
only power to the CCCP shelf being replaced is turned off via the
breaker supplying that shelf.
NOTE
If any significant change in signal level results from any
component being replaced in the RX or TX signal flow
paths, it would be identified by rerunning the RX and TX
calibration audit command.

When the CIO is replaced, the CCCP shelf remains powered up. The
BBX boards may need to be removed, then reinstalled into their
original slots, and redownloaded (code and BLO data). RX and TX
calibration audits should then be performed.

BBX Gain Set Point


BBX Gain Set Point
Usage & Background

Table D-1 outlines the relationship between the total of all code domain
channel element gain settings (digital root sum of the squares) and the
BBX Gain Set Point between 33.0 dBm and 44.0 dBm. The resultant
RF output (as measured at the top of the BTS in dBm) is shown in the
table. The table assumes that the BBX Bay Level Offset (BLO) values
have been calculated.
As an illustration, consider a BBX keyed up to produce a CDMA carrier
with only the Pilot channel (no MCCs forward link enabled). Pilot gain
is set to 262. In this case, the BBX Gain Set Point is shown to correlate
exactly to the actual RF output anywhere in the 33 to 44 dBm output
range. (This is the level used to calibrate the BTS).

CDMA Operating Frequency Programming Information


CDMA Operating Frequency Programming Information
Programming of each of the BTS BBX synthesizers is performed by the
BTS GLI cards over the Concentration Highway Interface (CHI) bus.
This programming data determines the transmit and receive operating
frequencies (channels) for each BBX.

Calculating 1900 MHz Center


Frequencies

Table E-1 shows selected 1900 MHz CDMA candidate operating


channels, listed in both decimal and hexadecimal, and the corresponding
transmit, and receive frequencies. Center frequencies (in MHz) for
channels not shown in the table may be calculated as follows:

S TX = 1930 + 0.05 * Channel#

Example: Channel 262


TX = 1930 + 0.05 * 262 = 1943.10 MHz

S RX = TX 80

Example: Channel 262


RX = 1943.10 50 = 1863.10 MHz

Actual frequencies used depend on customer CDMA system frequency


plan.
Each CDMA channel requires a 1.77 MHz frequency segment. The
actual CDMA carrier is 1.23 MHz wide, with a 0.27 MHz guard band on
both sides of the carrier.
Minimum frequency separation required between any CDMA carrier and
the nearest NAMPS/AMPS carrier is 900 kHz (center-to-center).

Calculating 800 MHz Center


Frequencies

Table E-2 shows selected 800 MHz CDMA candidate operating


channels, listed in both decimal and hexadecimal, and the corresponding
transmit, and receive frequencies. Center frequencies (in MHz) for
channels not shown in the table may be calculated as follows:

S Channels 1777

TX = 870 + 0.03 * Channel#


Example: Channel 262
TX = 870 + 0.03*262 = 877.86 MHz

S Channels 10131023

TX = 870 + 0.03 * (Channel# 1023)


Example: Channel 1015
TX = 870 +0.03 *(1015 1023) = 869.76 MHz

S RX = TX 45 MHz

Example: Channel 262


RX = 877.86 45 = 832.86 MHz

Test Equipment Setup: Agilent E7495


Test Equipment Setup: Agilent E7495
Initial Requirement

This test equipment requires a warm-up period of at least 30 minutes


before BTS testing or calibration begins.
Using the Agilent E7495A/B
with the LMF

The Agilent E7495 does not require the use of the 19MHz frequency
reference; if connected, it will be ignored. The Even Sec SYNC
connection is required.
The Agilent E7495 signal generator is only calibrated down to 80dB. In
order to achieve accurate FER testing, be sure the RX setup includes at
least 40dB of attenuation. This will ensure the signal generator will
output sufficient power to operate in the calibrated range.
Set the IP Address in the test set as described in Table F-1.
Table F-1: Set IP Address on Agilent E7495 test set
n Step

Action

Use the System Button > Controls > IPAdmin to set an


IP address on the E7495A/B as 128.0.0.11, and Netmask
to 255.255.255.128.

If the IP addressed was changed, reboot the E7495

For compatibility, change the LMF computer Network


Interface Card (NIC) IP address to 128.0.0.48,
subnetmask 255.255.255.128.

Connection

Connect the E7495 test set as described in the Test Equpment


Connection to the LMF section of Chapter 3.

Follow the directions in the LMF application program to calibrate


cables.
Additional cable calibration details Calibrate the short cable (see
Figure 3-31) and two 10 dB attenuators to establish a baseline and then
calibrate the TX and RX setups. Because at least 40 dB of attenuation
is needed when testing the FER, the setup for RX is the same as for
TX.

Cable Calibration with R3465 Test Set
NOTE
Warm-up BTS equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes
prior to performing the BTS optimization procedure. This
assures BTS site stability and contributes to optimization
accuracy. (Time spent running initial power-up,
hardware/firmware audit, and BTS download counts as
warm-up time.)

If any piece of test equipment (i.e., test cable, RF adapter)
has been replaced, re-calibration must be performed.
Failure to do so could introduce measurement errors,
resulting in incorrect measurements and degradation to
system performance..
NOTE
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipment
after it has been allowed to warm-up and stabilize for a
minimum of 60 minutes.

This appendix provides the identification and location of the cables


connecting the components which make up the SC4812ET RF cabinet.
The number of cables and components incorporated in the RF cabinet
will vary depending on the the manner in which the cabinet is equipped.
For example, a 3 sector, 2 carrier system will require less components
and less cables than a 6 sector 2 carrier system.
Refer to Table H-1 and Figure H-1 through Figure H-19 for the cable
you wish to research.
NOTE
In some cases cables with the same number are used to
connect two different signalling paths. These cables are
designated A & B and the point they connect to and from
is also designated A & B. Ensure the correct cable (A or B)
is connected to the correct designation (A or B) connector
or plug.

DRDC/TRDC Cables and Cable


Connections

The DRDC is a Duplexer, RX Filter, and Directional Coupler which


provides the RF interface at the rear of the cabinet. The connections are
the antenna connection (outside rear), transmit into the DRDC TX filter.
Receive out of DRDC (RX filter), and Directional coupler.
The TRDC is a TX filter/RX filter/Directional Coupler that is the same
as the DRDC except the TRDC has two antenna outputs (TX only and
RX only) The TRDC is not available in the 1.9 GHz band.
See Figure H-11, Figure H-12, Figure H-13, and Figure H-14 for the
cable diagram that fits the configuration of your BTS site.

MPC Functional Description

The MPC card provides (see Figure H-15) low-noise amplification for
all RX path signals. The low noise, high gain design improves frame RX
sensitivity and overcomes the splitting loss in the receive path. DC
voltages are monitored on the RF devices and regulators and are used to
generate hard and soft alarms. The MPC is not redundant at the
cardlevel, but includes dualpath amplifiers which provide softfail
redundancy for all sectors.
MPC to DRDC Cabling
The cables connecting the MPC cards to the DRDCs for a three sector
RF cabinet are shown in Figure H-15. A six sector RF cabinet would
have six more DRDCs and they would be connected to the front of the
MPC cards.

50 Pair Punchblock

The 50 pair punchblock is the main interface point for RGPS, span lines,
customer I/O, Power Cabinet alarm lines, and the modem. The
punchblock provides primary protection for all lines. Refer to
Figure H-18 and Table H-4 for punchblock pinout.
CAUTION
SC4812ET Span Line Labeling for Span B and Span C is
swapped
S On the SC4812ETs, the span cabel internal to the base
station that connects the 50 pin header on the I/O plate
to the CSU has Span B and Span C (RJ45) connectors
mislabeled.

S CFE will punch down the span on the 50 pair

bunchblock as per Motorola documentation and


punchdown chart. When conecting the span input to the
CSU relabel Span B cable toSpan C cable to
Span B. Connect to CSU as per documentation

S Note: The labeling issue on the cable from the I/O plate
to the CSU Part Number 3086601H01 Rev C shall be
corrected on revision D to address this issue. The cut
over date to Rev. D will be approximately January 30,
2001.

CAUTION
A wiring discrepancy exists between the manuals and the
frame for remote GPS.
S The TX and RX are reversed in the ETIB, leading to
inoperability of the RGPS. The RGPS will not work in
either a single standalone or multiple frame
configuration.

S Swap the White and White/Bk wires to punch pins 44T


and 44R. The Green and Green/Bk go to 45T and 45R.
This will correct nonexpansion configurations.

S Single frame and expansion BTSs without RGPS can


use this workaround as a permanent solution.

S For expansion with RGPS required a new cable (P/N


3086433H10 ) will correct the problem.

Inservice Calibration
Inservice Calibration
Purpose

This procedure is a guide to performing calibration of new BTS


expansion carriers while the system remains in service. This procedure
also supports BTS recalibration following replacement of RF chain
components while the remainder of the site stays in service.
Motorola recommends performing this procedure during a maintenance
window.
This procedure cannot be performed on BTSs with 4to1 combiners.
The procedure can only be performed on one side of the BTS at one
time. That is, PAs 1, 2 ,3, 7, 8, 9 (feed antennas 1, 2, 3) can be calibrated
while PAs 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 (feed antennas 4, 5, 6) remain in service
and vice versa.
Equipment Stabilization and
Calibration

NOTE
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test equipment set. Calibrate the test
equipment after it has been allowed to warm-up and
stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.
CAUTION
If any component of the test equipment set (for example, a
test cable, RF adapter, signal generator) has been replaced,
the test equipment set must be recalibrated. Failure to do so
could introduce measurement errors which ultimately
result in degradation of system performance.
1X Test Equipment
Requirements

InService Calibration (ISC) of 1X carrier functions requires using the


following test equipment for the purposes indicated:
S An Advantest R3267 spectrum analyzer to perform TX calibration
S An Advantest R3562 signal generator for R3267 Delta Power
Calibration
S An Agilent E4406A Transmitter Test Set to perform TX calibration
S An Agilent E4432A signal generator for E4406A Delta Power
Calibration
S An Agilent 8935 series E6380A equipped with option 200 (if
purchased new) or option R2K (if retrofitted) to perform TX
calibration

Power Delta Calibration


Power Delta Calibration
Introduction

The ISC procedure has several differences from a normal calibration


procedure. One of these is the use of a spectrum
analyzer/communications test set instead of a power meter to measure
power. Power meters are broadband measurement devices and cannot be
used to measure power during ISC because other carriers are operating.
A spectrum analyzer can be used because it measures power at a given
frequency. Measuring power using a spectrum analyzer is less accurate
than using a power meter, therefore, compensation is required for the
accuracy difference (delta) between the power meter and the spectrum
analyzer.
Agilent E4406A Power Delta
Calibration

The Agilent E4406A transmitter tester and E4432B signal generator test
equipment combination can be used for ISC of IS2000 CDMA 1X as
well as IS95A/B operation modes. The power delta calibration is
performed on the E4406A, but the E4432B is required to generate the
reference signal used to calculate the power delta offset. After the offset
value has been calculated, add it to the TX cable loss value in the LMF.
Preliminary Agilent Test Equipment Setup

To provide proper operation during power delta calibration, be sure the


E4406A and E4432B are connected as shown in Figure F-14.
Power Delta Calibration
Follow the procedure in Table I-1 to perform the Agilent E4406A Power
Delta Calibration procedure.
Table I-1: Agilent E4406A Power Delta Calibration Procedure

NOTE
Perform this procedure after test equipment has been allowed to warmup and stabilize for a minimum of 60
minutes. After it is warmed up and stabilized, calibrate the test equipment as described in the Test Set
Calibration section of Appendix F.
1

Zero the Power Meter prior to connecting the power sensor to the RF cable from the signal generator.

NOTE
For best accuracy, always rezero the power meter before connecting the power sensor to the
component being calibrated.

Be sure the E4406A and E4432B are connected as shown in Figure F-14.

Connect a short RF cable from the E4432B RF OUTPUT connector the HP437 power meter power
sensor (see Figure I-1).

Creating a Terminal Session

General Confirming or changing the configuration data of External


BTS Routers (EBR) an certian BTS Field Replaceable Units (FRU)
requires establishing a ManMachine Interface (MMI) communication
session between a laptop computer and the FRU or EBR. Using features
of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI
session can be saved on the laptop computer as a named HyperTerminal
connection. This elminiates the need for setting up connection
parameters each time an MMI session is required to support operations.
Desktop Shortcut Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for
it can be created on the Windows operating system desktop. Double
clicking the shortcut icon will start the connection without the need to
negotiate multiple menu levels.
Terminal Settings

Perform the following to create a named HyperTerminal connection for


FRU or EBR MMI interface and generate a Windows operating system
desktop shortcut for it.
NOTE
There are differences between the Windows 2000 and
Windows XT operating systems in the menus and screens
used for creating a HyperTerminal connection. In the

OMCR
Obtaining BTS Router
Minimum (Canned)
Configuration Files

After they are generated on the OMCR, the BTS router canned
configuration files must be transferred to another computer platform
from which they can be installed into the BTS routers. A number of
procedures may be used to move the canned configuration files from the
OMCR to a platform from which they can be loaded into the routers.
Some alternatives are:
1. If a floppy diskette drive is available at the OMCR, such as the one
for UNO workstations, the configuration files can be transferred to
an LMF computer or similar machine using the NEC file transfer
procedure in the Preparing the LMF section of the optimization/ATP
manual. Directories identified in Table K-3 must be used rather than
those in the NEC file transfer procedure.
2. If a Windows operating systembased server connection is available
in the operators network and it can provide an FTP or telnet
connection to the OMCR, files may be transferred by either the
FTP or telnet methods.
3. If a dialup connection is available for accessing the OMCR, an
FTP or telnet session may be possible to transfer files to the
computer used to load the CF memory cards.
The procedure provided in this section covers FTP transfer using a
Windows operating systembased server in the operators network.
Coordinate with the local network administrator to determine the method
and procedure to use on a specific network.
Prerequisites

The following must be obtained from the local network administrator


before performing the canned configuration file FTP procedure in
Table K-3:

S User ID and password to log onto the OMCR


S Name of the subdirectory where the specific BTS router group
canned configuration files to be downloaded were created

NOTE
This procedure uses the command line FTP client supplied with the Windows XP and Windows 2000
operating systems; however, any commercially available FTP client application can be used. Follow
the manufacturers instructions for operation of an alternative application.
Open a command line (MS DOS) window by clicking on Start > Programs > Command Prompt.

When the command line window opens, change to the directory where the canned configuration files

Installation

BTS Router IOS Version Verification and Canned Configuration File


Installation
Introduction

Overview
This section covers the procedures and commands required to verify the
IOS version loaded on BTS router CF memory cards and copy standard
canned configuration files to the routers. Because of the setup required
and the length of some of the procedures, Motorola recommends
performing the actions covered in this section at a central location to
prepare the BTS routers for installation prior to the site visit.
IOS Version Verification and File Sequence Position
Version verification The IOS version loaded on the BTS router CF
memory card should be verified as the version required for operation on
the network where the routers will be installed. If the loaded IOS version
is not correct, it can be replaced with a different version. There are
several methods available to accomplish version verification. These
depend on the equipment and software applications the user selects to
use in installing the canned configuration files in the BTS routers.
Appropriate verification procedures are included in each of the two
canned configuration installation methods covered in this section.
Methods to change or upgrade the loaded IOS version are provided in the
Change or Upgrade BTS Router IOS Version section of this appendix
and are referenced at the appropriate places in the canned configuration
installation methods.
File sequence position During initialization, the MWR 190027 or
MWR 1941DC router will first search the startupconfig file for a
boot system command line telling it in what directory and file to find the
boot loader. If this line is not found, the router will default to attempting
to boot from the first file in its flash memory. Flash memory for the
MWR 190027 or MWR 1941DC is the CF memory card (software
identifier slot0:). The canned configuration files used for BTS router
installation do not contain a boot system command line because of the
need to maintain flexibility for IOS version changes. Because of this, it
is critical that the IOS file is the first file listed on the CF memory card.
The canned configuration installation procedures contain steps to assure
that this is the case, and, if it is not, provide guidance to correct the
condition. It is important to remember that, if the router boots and
displays a rommon 1 > prompt, the IOS file is missing, out of sequence,
has a corrupted flash memory image or the startupconfig file
contains a boot system line which specifies a missing or incorrect IOS
pathname/filename.

BTS Router IOS Version Verification and Canned Configuration File


Installation continued
Canned Configuration File Installation
Filename and installation location requirements The canned
configuration files for the BTS routers must be copied to the CF memory
card. The filename of the file on the CF memory card must be
cannedconfig. Canned configuration file location and filename
requirements are a result of Mobile Wireless Center (MWC) actions
during the process of switching a BTS from packet to circuit mode or
during BTS reparenting to another OMCR. In this process, the MWC
will query the BTS routers slot0: directory for a file named
cannedconfig. A missing or misnamed file will cause problems
with execution of the modeswitching process.
Installation Method The startupconfig configuration file used
by the BTS router during initialization is stored in NVRAM. This is a
memory device internal to the router and is separate from the CF
memory card. To install the canned configuration file so the router will
use it during bootup, the file must be copied into the
startupconfig file in NVRAM. This requires copying the canned
configuration file from the Windows operating systembased LMF
computer to the CF memory card installed in a router, and then copying
it to the startupconfig file in the routers NVRAM. The only
Motorolasupported method to copy files to the BTS router CF memory
card is through tftp file transfer.
CAUTION
Motorola does not support using a CF memory card reader
to copy files to the BTS router CF memory card. Do not
use a CF memory card reader for either of the following
actions:
S Formatting a BTS router CF memory card

S Copying files to a BTS router CF memory card

CAUTION
Do not format BTS router CF memory cards using a CF
memory card reader. Only format CF memory cards in a
BTS router. Using a card reader to format the CF memory
card will result in improper BTS router initialization which
requires special recovery procedures.

NOTE
Reloading the router with the revised startupconfig file will change router FE port speed to 100. If
the router FE port speed was changed to 10 to communicate with the LMF computer NIC, the
computer may indicate that the FE LAN connection has been lost at this point.
Verify the router reboots without displaying the rommon 1 > prompt or error messages related to port
configurations. If the router boots to the rommon prompt, proceed to the Recovery from BTS Router
Boot to rommon section of this appendix.

Using the tagging materials, tag the router to clearly identify the installed configuration (blue
(BTSRTR1) or red (BTSRTR2)).

25

Remove the CF memory from the router following the procedure in the Replacing a Compact Flash
(CF) Memory Card section of the BTS Router chapter in the 1X SC4812TMF BTS Field Replaceable
Units, mark the installed configuration (blue or red) on the card label, and install the card in the router
following the CF memory card replacement procedure in the 1X SC4812TMF BTS Field Replaceable
Units.

26

If an additional router must have the canned configuration installed, perform the following:
1. Disconnect the cabling from the BTS router.
2. Remove power from the router and disconnect it from the power supply.
3. Repeat the procedures in Table K-6, Table K-7, and this table (Table K-8) using the additional
router.

Recovery from BTS Router Boot to ROMmon

Recovery from BTS Router Boot to ROMmon


Introduction

ROM monitor boot conditions Under certain circumstances the BTS


router will initialize with the ROM monitor (ROMmon) operating
system rather than the IOS. These circumstances include:

S The hexadecimal value in the routers configuration register has been

changed from the factory default (can change the location from where
the router attempts to load code for bootup).

S IOS file is missing from the CF memory card


S IOS file is not the first file on the CF memory card
S Startupconfig file contains an outdated boot system line specifying
an IOS file which has been replaced with an updated version

S Startupconfig file contains boot system line with typographical


error(s) in the IOS filename

S IOS file image on the CF memory card is corrupted


Description Router operation on ROMmon is signalled by the display
of the rommon # > prompt, where # is a number which increments
each time a command is issued. ROMmon is a lowlevel operating
system which provides limited capabilities for router testing and
troubleshooting operations, including viewing directory contents and
booting from a specified file.
Recovery methods Two recovery methods are included in this section.
The first is the simplest and requires that a valid, uncorrupted IOS
version is installed on the CF memory card. The second method requires
additional equipment and must be used in instances when an IOS file is
not installed on the CF memory card or the installed IOS image is
corrupted.
Simple Recovery from Boot to
ROMmon

Requirements Unless it is certain that the IOS image on the CF


memory card is corrupted, this method should always be the first tried
for router recovery from ROMmon initialization. This method does not
require any additional equipment beyond the items necessary to load
canned configuration files into the BTS router. To be effective, this
method does require that a valid, uncorrupted IOS image file is installed
on the routers CF memory card.

Extended Recovery from Boot


to ROMmon

Requirements If ROMmon boot recovery attempts fail using the


simple recovery method, this method must be used to reboot a BTS
router which has initialized with ROMmon. This method requires
additional equipment beyond the items necessary to load canned
configuration files into the BTS router. Extended recovery requires
formatting the CF memory card from the ROMmoninitialized router
and reloading the reformatted CF memory card with the required IOS
version.
Additional equipment required An additional, formatted, 32 MB CF
memory card with the required version of the IOS installed is required in
addition to the equipment and software required for BTS router canned
configuration installation. This card may be:

S A spare CF memory card which is loaded with the required IOS


version

S A CF memory card from an additional BTS router which is loaded


with the required IOS version

Recovery Follow the procedure in Table K-12 to perform an extended


recovery from a BTS router ROMmon initialization.
Table K-12: Extended Recovery from BTS Router ROMmon Boot
Step

Action

This procedure assumes the BTS router is powered and operating on ROMmon with the LMF
computer set up and connected to the router with an active HyperTerminal communication session. If
it is not, follow the procedure in Table K-2 to establish a HyperTerminal communication session.

Remove the CF memory card from the BTS router following the procedure in Table K-16.

BTS Router Canned
Configuration File

This section presents listings of the blue and red router canned
configuration file contents for the MWR 190027 and MWR 1941DC
BTS routers. The blue router is the primary router on the BTS LAN
subnet 192.168.146.0, and the red router is the primary on BTS LAN
subnet 192.168.147.0. The canned configuration files allow
communication with the BTS routers for both onsite FE cabling
connectivity verification and for downloading the routers from the
network with the full, sitespecific operational configuration.
Obtaining the Latest
Configuration File Content

The files included here are for example only. The correct canned
configuration file content for each BTS router should be generated at the
OMCR using the /screl/active/bin/gen_btsrtr_canned_config.ksh script.

Action

Refer to MWR1941DC Mobile Wireless Edge Router Hardware Installation Guide; part number
7815827 for the latest information, cautions, and notes on BTS router CF memory card removal and
installation prior to proceeding with the following steps.

If the flash memory slot cover is installed, use a crossrecess screwdriver to fully loosen the captive
screws securing the cover to the router, and remove the cover (see Figure K-5).

Install the CF memory card by performing the following:


1. Hold the CF memory card with the label facing up and the connector end pointing toward the
router.
2. Carefully insert the connector end into the flash memory card slot.
3. Push the CF memory card into the slot to seat it in the slot connector.
The card ejector lever will extend out of the router as the card is seated.
4. Pull on the card ejector lever to fully extend it from the router, and rotate it to the left to its stowed
position to latch the card in the slot (see Figure K-5).
