Commissioning software overview

2 Commissioning software overview
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is configured in the network with Nokia SiteWizard software for GSM and/or GSM/EDGE with Nokia SiteWizard software, version 3.0 or later. BTS commissioning is done locally at the BTS using SiteWizard’s BTS Manager software.
The appropriate CX software packages for the BTS’s configuration are loaded to the master TRX at the factory or from the BSC. For EDGE transmission, CX 3.2 or later is required. These software packages are downloaded locally using Nokia BTS Manager during commissioning, or remotely from the BSC.
After commissioning, the BTS is normally managed remotely from the OSS via the BSC, although O&M tasks can also be done locally with BTS Manager.
2.1 Nokia SiteWizard 3.0
Nokia SiteWizard contains all the manager software required for commissioning a BTS and any transmission equipment that is connected to it.
Table shows the contents of Nokia SiteWizard version 3.0. For more information on the features of the software, see the Software Release Binder delivered with Nokia SiteWizard.

Note
2.1.1 Nokia BTS Manager 3.0
Nokia SiteWizard 3.0 contains Nokia BTS Manager version 3.0. This is used for commissioning the BTS and for carrying out maintenance functions locally at the BTS.
Nokia BTS Manager provides a graphical user interface to run in a laptop PC in the Windows environment. See Figure 1 for an example of the graphical user interface in Windows. The laptop is connected to the BTS via the local management port (LMP) on the BTS interface unit.
Nokia BTS Manager uses a Commissioning Wizard to guide the user through the BTS commissioning process. See Table 1 for a description of the Commissioning Wizard features of Nokia BTS Manager version 3.0.
Nokia BTS Manager also provides a context-sensitive Help.

3 Preparing for commissioning
Before starting BTS commissioning, complete the following procedure.
Preparing for commissioning:
1. Check that the Abis cables are connected on the BTS.
Commissioning can be performed without the BSC connection (Abis cables disconnected, for example). For more information, see Step 7 in the commissioning procedure in Chapter 5.
2. Check that the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is powered up.
3. Connect the Nokia BTS Manager PC to the BTS’s LMP port. See Appendix A for a description of the LMP cable.
4. Check that you have the required Site IDs (optional) and transmission capacity tables.
BTS SW is loaded to the BTS by the manufacturer at the factory. There is no need to locally load SW to the BTS before commissioning. If the BTS SW is different from the SW at the BSC, it will be loaded automatically to the BTS during the commissioning procedure.

4 Getting started with BTS Manager
This chapter gives instructions on how to install, set up and obtain on-line help on Nokia BTS Manager software. It is assumed that the user knows how to use the Windows operating system.
When Nokia BTS Manager is installed and set up, the BTS is commissioned by starting Commissioning Wizard, as described in Chapter 5 of this document.
4.1 Installing Nokia BTS Manager
Nokia BTS Manager is installed on a laptop PC which is connected to the BTS via the LMP connector on the interface unit.
The installation program creates a Nokia BTS Manager icon on the Windows desktop and defines the software’s parameters.
For more information on software installation and the system requirements of the laptop PC, see the Nokia Site Wizard Software Release Binder or the instructions on the CD-ROM sleeve.
4.2 Setting up Nokia BTS Manager
Start Nokia BTS Manager as follows:
1. Make sure that the BTS Manager laptop is connected to the LMP connector on the interface unit of the BTS.
2. Double-click the BTS Manager icon on the desktop.
3. Enter the Nokia BTS Manager password. If the password checking option has not been turned on and it is required, go to FILE | OPTIONS in Nokia BTS Manager to set up a password (Windows 95/98 environment only).

Note
4. Nokia BTS Manager starts with the Supervision - Equipment View (1), BTS Events (2) and Alarms (3) windows opened (see Figure 1). The software checks the BTS configuration and represents it graphically it in the Nokia BTS Manager - Supervision window.
The Nokia BTS Manager PC must be connected to the BTS in order to make BTS password checking possible. If no connection exists, password checking is not applicable.
4.2.1 Nokia BTS Manager main windows
The main window of Nokia BTS Manager contains the main menu bar and three sub-windows, Supervision - Equipment view, BTS Events and Alarms. The main window and sub-windows are shown in Figure 1. If the sub-windows are not displayed, see Section 4.2.2 of this document.

4.2.2 Defining Nokia BTS Manager options
If there is no connection to the BTS when starting Nokia BTS Manager, only the BTS Events window is displayed and some BTS Manager menu options will not be available. In this case, check the communication parameters. Check also that the LMP cable is connected to the same COM port that is defined in BTS Manager.
You can define the different BTS Manager options from FILE | OPTIONS.
4.3 Nokia BTS Manager Help
Nokia BTS Manager has a convenient, context-sensitive on-line Help facility for getting information about a task you are going to perform, a feature you might want to know more about, or a command you may want to use.
