1.1 BTS Equipment

Before commissioning, ensure that:

zThe cabinet and its components are installed correctly.

zThe antenna system is installed and connected.

zThe transmission equipment is connected.

zThe BTS O&M software and operational software are installed.

zThe power system is installed.

zThe equipment for monitoring the equipment room environment is installed. (optional)

1.2Tools for Commissioning

Table 1-1 lists the tools for BTS commissioning.

Table 1-1 Tools for BTS commissioning

Tool	Quantity	Remark
CDMA MS	Two	Mandatory
Qualcomm CAIT or a BLUEROSE	One	Mandatory
RS NRT-Z44 power meter	One	Optional
SiteMaster 331A	One	Mandatory
30 dB low-power coaxial attenuator	One	Optional
20 dB low-power coaxial attenuator	Two	Optional
DIN-male to N-female adapter	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:

zBTS ID

zIP address for O&M

zPN code

zService type

1.5Data 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.

2 Commissioning Modes	System Commissioning Guide

2.1 Local Commissioning

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:

zConfiguring the WS

zLocally Logging In to the BTS in Telnet Mode

zConfiguring the IP Address and Routing Information of the BTS

zLoading the BTS Software Locally

zPerforming the BSS Reverse Maintenance

zO&M Test

zRF Performance Test

zService 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,

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.

2.2.3 Remote Commissioning Tasks

The operation tasks related to the remote commissioning are as follows:

zConfiguring the WS

zStarting the LMT

zRemotely Logging In to the BTS in Telnet Mode

zLoading the BTS Software Remotely

zO&M Test

zRF Performance Test

zService Function Test

For detailed steps of each operation task, see 3.3 "Starting Local Maintenance".
