Tool Quantity Remark
CDMA MS Two Mandatory
Qualcomm CAIT or a BLUEROSE One Mandatory
RS NRT-Z44 power meter One Optional

1.3 Personnel
Huawei technical support engineers and the engineers representing the customers complete
the system commissioning together. The customer representative should sign the acceptance
list after the commissioning is complete.
1.4 Site Information
To facilitate the preparation of commissioning tools and commissioning schemes, collect the
following basic information before you start the commissioning of the BTS:

1.5 Data Configuration Files
After making the data configuration files, the system commissioning personnel copies them
into the workstation (WS). The system commissioning personnel must ensure that each data
configuration file is named in the format of BTSXXX.txt.
The names of the configuration files are in the format of BTSXXX.txt. "XXX" stands for the BTS ID.
This part must be three digits long. If the BTS ID has fewer than three digits, zeroes are added on the
ID’s left to make up three digits.
The commissioning personnel can check the configuration data in the files and the site
information. Pay special attention to the data of the Abis interfaces.
The local commissioning is performed at the BTS site for the commissioning of the
BTS3606E/3606AE or for the commissioning of the BSS. For the latter purpose, the
coordination of the BSC is required.
The local commissioning includes local commissioning in Telnet mode and reverse
maintenance.
2.1.1 Local Commissioning in Telnet Mode
In the case of local commissioning in Telnet mode, you can connect the WS to the BCKM by
using a crossover Ethernet cable and then log in to the BTS. In this mode, you can use
commands to perform BTS commissioning.
2.1.2 Reverse Maintenance
In the case of reverse maintenance, you can connect a BSC LMT to the BCKM by using a
crossover Ethernet cable and then use this LMT to log in to the BAM of the BSC. In reverse
maintenance mode, you can maintain the entire BSS system from a BTS site.

2.1.3 Local Commissioning Tasks
The operation tasks related to the local commissioning are as follows:
z
Configuring the WS
z
Locally Logging In to the BTS in Telnet Mode
z
Configuring the IP Address and Routing Information of the BTS
z
Loading the BTS Software Locally
z
Performing the BSS Reverse Maintenance
z
O&M Test
z

z
Service Function Test
For detailed steps of each operation task, see 3.3 "Starting Local Maintenance"
2.2 Remote Commissioning
By using maintenance tools, you can commission the entire BSS system remotely with the
coordination of the BSC.
The remote commissioning includes the remote commissioning on LMT system and the
remote commissioning in Telnet mode.
2.2.1 Remote Commissiong on the LMT System
In the case of the remote commissioning on the LMT, you can input a command for
commissioning on the LMT. This command is processed by the BAM server and is then sent
to the BTS for response. The BAM server records the operation results, such as successful,
Airbridge BTS3606E&3606AE
System Commissioning Guide 2 Commissioning Modes
failed, timeout, and abnormal, and then sends the result to the LMT. In such a case, you can
know the operation result.
2.2.2 Remote Commissioning in Telnet Mode
In the case of remote commissioning in Telnet mode, you can log in to the BTS by using
Telnet software. The commissioning for the BTS3606E/3606AE is performed with the
coordination of the BSC.
