About This Chapter

This describes how to commission the BTS when the transmission cable between the BSC and the BTS is properly connected.

4.1 Starting the LMT

You can directly log in to the LMT, or log in to the LMT through the M2000 client.

4.2 Checking the Transmission and Networking

This describes how to check the transmission and networking. The purpose of checking the transmission and networking is to ensure that the BTS3900A transmission cables and hardware are correctly installed. The items to be checked consist of the transmission between the BBU and the BSC, the transmission between the BBU and the RFU, the transmission between the cascaded BTSs, and the transmission between the BTSs in ring topology.

4.3 Checking Software Version and Data Configuration

This describes how to check software version and data configuration to ensure the correctness of the software version and configuration data. The items to be checked are the configuration and status of the board, the software version information, and the consistency between the hardware installation and the data configuration.

4.4 Checking the Alarm Information of the BTS (on the LMT)

This describes how to check the alarm information of the BTS on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal. If an alarm is generated, you need clear the alarm based on the suggestions in the BSS Help System.

4.5 Commissioning the BTS Services

This describes how to use an MS to test whether the BTS supports CS services and PS services.

4.6 Checking the BTS Environment Alarms

This describes how to check the BTS environment alarms. It also describes how to monitor the operating environment of the BTS.
