We at Motorola Technical Education & Documentation have strived to
incorporate into this document the many suggestions and inputs received
from you, the customer, since the inception of the SC product line. At
the same time, we have tried to insure that the scope of the document
targets both the novice and expert site technician and engineer with
the information required to successfully perform the task at hand. If
in some areas, the manual seems to cover the test in too much detail (or
not enough detail) we hope you will keep this in mind.
As the CDMA Local Maintenance Facility (LMF)
capability comes on–line, applicable LMF based
procedures will be incorporated. Eventually, only the
CDMA LMF platform will be supported as the
recommended customer method of interfacing with and
servicing the SC series BTS equipment.

May 2000
Purpose of the Optimization
Why Optimize?
What Is Optimization?
1
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. Cables that interconnect the BTS and Duplexer
assemblies (if used), for example, are cut and installed at the time of the
BTS frame installation at the site. Site optimization guarantees that the
combined losses of the new cables and the gain/loss characteristics and
built-in tolerances of each BTS frame do not accumulate, causing
improper site operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for all receive and
transmit paths at the BTS site, and stores that value in a database.
The RX path for the starter frame starts at the ancillary equipment
frame RFDS RX directional coupler antenna feedline port, through the
ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX directional coupler antenna
feedline port, through the RX input port on the top of the frame,
through the bandpass filter, Combiner Input/Output (CIO) card,
Multicoupler Preselector Card (MPC), and additional splitter circuitry,
ending at a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Channel
Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band Transceiver (BBX2) slot in
the C–CCP shelf.
The RX path for the expansion frame starts at the ancillary equipment
frame RFDS RX directional coupler antenna feedline port, through the
ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX directional coupler antenna
feedline port, through the RX input port on the top of the starter
frame, through the bandpass filter and CIO card, out the expansion
port at the top of the starter frame, through the expansion cable to the
expansion port on the expansion frame, through the Expansion
Multicoupler Preselector Card (EMPC) and CIO, ending at a Broad
Band Transceiver (BBX2) slot in the C–CCP shelf.
The TX path starts at the BBX2, through the C–CCP backplane slot,
travels through the LPA/Combiner TX Filter and ends at the top of the
RFDS TX directional coupler antenna feedline port (CDMA), installed
on the ancillary equipment frame. If the RFDS option is added, then
the TX path continues and ends at the top of the RFDS TX directional
coupler antenna feedline port installed in the ancillary equipment
frame. The TX paths are identical for the starter and expansion
frames.

Purpose of the Optimization – continued
These values are factored in by the BTS equipment internally, leaving
only site specific antenna feed line loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining site Effective Radiated
Power (ERP) output power requirements.
Each C–CCP shelf BBX2 board is optimized to a specific RX and TX
antenna port. (One BBX2 board acts in a redundant capacity for BBX2’s
1–12, and is optimized to all antenna ports.) A single value is generated
for each path, thereby eliminating the accumulation of error that would
occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of
each element in the path.
When to Optimize
New Installations
After the initial site installation, it must be prepared for operation. This
preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power–up,
download of operating code, and Clock Synchronization Module (CSM)
verification.
Next, the optimization is performed. Optimization includes performance
verification and calibration of all transmit and receive RF paths, and
download of accumulated calibration data.
After optimization, a series of manual pre–ATP verification tests are
covered that address alarm/redundancy tests.
After manual pre–Acceptance Test Procedure (pre–ATP) verification
tests, a series of manual ATP CDMA verification tests are covered using
the actual equipment set up. An ATP is also required before the site can
be placed in service.
Site Expansion
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site.
Periodic Optimization
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.

Required Test Equipment
Policy
1
The LMF is used in conjunction with Motorola recommended test
equipment and is part of a “calibrated test set”. To ensure consistent,
reliable, and repeatable optimization test results, only recommended test
equipment supported by the LMF must be used to optimize the BTS
equipment.
NOTE
During manual testing, you can, of course, substitute test
equipment with other test equipment models not supported
by the LMF, but those models must meet the sametechnical specifications.
The customer has the responsibility of accounting for any measurement
variances and/or additional losses/inaccuracies that can be introduced
as a result of test equipment substitutions. Before beginning
optimization or troubleshooting, make sure that the test equipment
needed is on hand and operating properly.
Test Equipment Calibration
Test Cable Calibration
Equipment Warm–up
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service, calibration, and characterization prior to BTS optimization.
Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
Equipment test cables are very important in optimization. Motorola
recommends that the cable calibration be run at every BTS with the test
cables attached. This method compensates for test cable insertion loss
within the test equipment itself. No other allowance for test cable
insertion loss needs to be made during the performance of tests.
Another method is to account for the loss by entering it into the LMF
during the optimization procedure. This method requires accurate test
cable characterization in a shop. The cable should be tagged with the
characterization information prior to field optimization.
After arriving at the a site, the test equipment should be plugged in and
turned on to allow warm up and stabilization to occur for as long as
possible. The following pieces of test equipment must be warmed–up for
a minimum of 60 minutes prior to using for BTS optimization or Radio
Frequency Diagnostic Subsystem (RFDS) calibration procedures.

in a standard 19 inch frame. The description assumes that
all equipment is mounted in a frame for clarity.
If equipped with the RF Diagnostic Subsystem (RFDS) option, the
RFDS and directional couplers are the interface between the site
antennas and the BTS or Modem frame. The RFDS equipment includes:
Directional couplers
Site receive bandpass/bandreject filters
RFDS
The BTS is the interface between the span lines to/from the Cellsite Base
Station Controller (CBSC) and the site antennas. This frame is described
in three sections:
The top interconnect plate where all connections are made.
The upper portion of the frame which houses circuit breakers, cooling
fans, and the Combined CDMA Channel Processor (C–CCP) shelf.
The lower portion of the frame which houses the LPA fans, LPAs, and
TX filter/combiners.
1-12
The –48 V version of the BTS also has a section below the LPAs
containing a power conversion shelf that supplies power to the LPAs.
Use the illustrations that follow to visually identify the major
components, that make up the Motorola SC 4812T BTS frame.

There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-1
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.

This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
module placement, jumper, and dual in–line 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.
Sites are configured as Omni with a maximum of 4 carriers, 3–sectored
with a maximum of 4 carriers, and 6–sectored with a maximum of 2
carriers. Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized
accordingly. For more information on the differences in site types, please
refer to the BTS/Modem Frame Hardware Installation manual.
The Cell-site Data File (CDF) contains site type and equipage data
information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The
number of modem frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX2 boards,
MCC24/MCC8E boards (per cage), and linear power amplifier
assignments are some of the equipage data included in the CDF.
IMPORTANT
*
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files are
used for the BTS. These should be the CDF files that are
provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF files can cause system errors. Failure to use
the correct CDF files to log into a live (traffic carrying)
site can shut down the site.

Site Equipage Verification
Initial Installation of
Boards/Modules
May 2000
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 a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD. After removal, the card/module should be placed

Before applying any power to the BTS frame, follow the procedure in
Table 2-2 while referring to Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 for +27 V
systems or to Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 for –48 V systems to verify
there are no shorts in the BTS frame DC distribution system.

StepAction
1Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying power to the frame are OFF or disabled.
2On each frame:
Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.
Set C–CCP shelf breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (labeled
C–CCP 1, 2, 3 on the +27 V BTS C–CCP power distribution panel and labeled POWER
1,4,5,2,6,7,3,8,9 on the –48 V C–CCP power distribution panel).
Set LPA breakers to the OFF position by pulling out the LPA breakers (8 breakers, labeled 1A–1B
through 4C–4D – located on the C–CCP power distribution panel in the +27 V BTS or on the power
conversion shelf power distribution panel in the –48 V BTS).

DC Power Pre-test (RFDS)
Before applying power to the RFDS, follow the steps in Table 2-3, while
referring to Figure 2-7, to verify there are no shorts in the RFDS DC
distribution system, backplanes, or modules/boards. As of the date of
this publication, the RFDS is not used with the –48 V BTS.

IMPORTANT
*
Visual inspection of card placement and equipage for each
frame vs. site documentation must be completed, as
covered in Table 2-1, on page 2-2, before proceeding with
this test.
Table 2-3: DC Power Pre-test (RFDS)
StepAction
1Physically verify that all DC/DC converters supplying the RFDS are OFF or disabled.
2Set the input power rocker switch P1 to the OFF position (see Figure 2-7).
3Verify the initial resistance from the power (+ or –) feed terminal with respect to ground terminal
measures >
5 kΩ , then slowly begins to increase.
If the initial reading is < 5 kΩ and remains constant, a short exists somewhere in the DC

WARNING
Potentially lethal voltage and current levels are routed to
the BTS equipment. This test must be performed with a
second person present, acting in a safety role. Remove all
rings, jewelry, and wrist watches prior to beginning this
test.
DC Input Power
In the tests to follow, power will first be verified at the input to each
BTS frame. After power is verified, cards and modules within the frame
itself will be powered up and verified one at a time.
Before applying any power, verify the correct power feed and return
cables are connected between the power supply breakers and the power
connectors at the top of each BTS frame. Verify correct cable position
referring to Figure 2-3 on page 2-7 for +27 V systems and Figure 2-5 on
page 2-9 for –48 V systems.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance 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 anti–static bag in which it was shipped.
IMPORTANT

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction
Introduction
This section describes procedures for downloading system operating
software, CSM reference verification/optimization, set up and calibration
of the supported test equipment, transmit/receive path verification, and
using the RFDS.
IMPORTANT
*
Optimization Process
After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations
(power up) have been completed, the LMF is used to calibrate and
optimize the BTS. Motorola recommends that the optimization be
accomplished as follows:
1. Download MGLI2–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI2–1.
2. Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of
the following types respond with status information: CSM, BBX2,
GLI2, 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 CDF file. The CDF
file will have to be corrected before the device can be accessed by
the LMF.
3. Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
– CSM
– BBX2
– GLI2 (other than MGLI2–1)
– MCC
4. Download the RFDS TSIC (if installed).
5. Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.
6. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
– Secondary CSM
– Primary CSM
– All MCCs
7. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
8. Select the test equipment.
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.
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.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction– continued
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, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the full optimization for the failed path.
3
Cell Site Types
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.
Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
NOTE
Cell Site Data File (CDF)
For more information on the differences in site types,
please refer to the applicable BTS/Modem Frame Hardware
Installation and Functional Hardware Description
manuals.
The CDF contains information that defines the BTS and data used to
download files to the devices. A CDF file must be placed in the
applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log into that BTS.
CDF files are normally obtained from the CBSC using a floppy disk. A
file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be used if the LMF computer has
that capability.
The CDF includes the following information:
Download instructions and protocol
Site specific equipage information
C–CCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX2 equipage (based on cell–site type) including redundancy
– CSM equipage including redundancy
– Multi Channel Card (MCC24 or MCC8E) channel element
allocation plan. This plan indicates how the C–CCP shelf is
configured, and how the paging, synchronization, traffic, and access
channel elements (and associated gain values) are assigned among
the (up to 12) MCC24s or MCC8Es in the shelf.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction– continued
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 BBX2 output
level required to achieve that power level on any channel/sector can
also be determined.
NOTE
Refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A21,
for additional information on the layout of the LMF
directory structure (including CDF file locations and
formats).
BTS System Software
Download
BTS system 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.
3
Site Equipage Verification
IMPORTANT
*
The CDF is normally obtained from the CBSC on a DOS formatted
diskette, or through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the LMF computer has
ftp capability. Refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, or the LMF
Help screen, for the procedure.
If you have not already done so, use an editor to view the CDF, and
review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage data
in the CDF matches the actual site hardware using a CDF conversion
table.
Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files for the BTS must be
obtained from the CBSC and put in a bts–# folder in the
LMF. Failure to use the correct CDF files can cause wrong
results. Failure to use the correct CDF files to log into alive (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance 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 anti–static bag in which it was shipped.

Isolate Span Lines/Connect LMF
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Spans
IMPORTANT
*
At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the BTS and
place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT remove the 50–pin
TELCO cable connected to the BTS frame site I/O board
J1 connector until the OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS!
3
Each frame is equipped with one Site I/O and two Span I/O boards. The
Span I/O J1 connector provides connection of 25 pairs of wire. 8 pairs
are used to support up to four 4–wire span lines. 17 pairs are connected
to signal ground.
Before connecting the LMF to the frame LAN, the OMC/CBSC must
disable the BTS and place it OOS to allow the LMF to control the
CDMA BTS. This prevents the CBSC from inadvertently sending
control information to the CDMA BTS during LMF based tests. Refer to
Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 as required.

StepAction
1From the OMC/CBSC, disable the BTS and place it OOS. Refer to SC OMC–R/CBSC System
Operator Procedures.
– The T1/E1 span 50–pin TELCO cable connected to the BTS frame SPAN I/O board J1 connector
can be removed from both Span I/O boards, if equipped, to isolate the spans.
* IMPORTANT
Verify that you remove the SPAN cable, not the “MODEM/TELCO” connector.

Graphical User Interface
Overview
available from the CBSC)
CBSC File for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
The following section provides information and instructions for
installing and updating the LMF software and files.
The LMF uses a graphical user interface (GUI), which works in the
following way:
Logical BTS
Select the device or devices.
Select the action to apply to the selected device(s).
While action is in progress, a status report window displays the action
taking place and other status information.
The status report window indicates when the the action is complete
and displays other pertinent information.
Clicking the OK button closes the status report window.
The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability, also known as
virtual BTS. Previously, all BTS frames co–located at a single site had to
be identified in the network with separate and distinct BTS ID numbers.
In the Logical BTS feature, all frames located at a single BTS site are
identified with unique Frame ID numbers (Frame ID Numbers 1, 101,
201, 301) under a single (site) BTS ID number. A logical BTS can
consist of up to four SC 4812T frames.When the LMF is connected to
frame 1 of a logical BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames
that make up the logical BTS. A logical BTS requires a CDF file that
includes equipage information for all of the logical BTS frames and their
devices and a CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the logical
BTS fames.

Logical BTS Numbering
The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1).
Other frames of the logical BTS are numbered with suffixes, –101, –201,
and –301 (e. g. BTS–812–201). When you log into a BTS, a FRAME
tab is displayed for each frame. If there is only one frame for the BTS,
there is only one tab (e.g., FRAME–282–1) for BTS–282. If a logical
BTS has more than one frame, there is a separate FRAME tab for each
frame (e.g. FRAME–438–1, FRAME–438–101, and FRAME–438–201
for a BTS–438 that has three frames). If an RFDS is included in the
CDF file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1) is displayed. Figure 3-3
shows frame configurations available under the Logical BTS feature.
This figure also shows the Inter–frame spans between the different
frames at the BTS site.
Actions (e.g., ATP tests) can be initiated for selected devices in one or
more frames of a logical BTS. Refer to the Select devices help screen for
information on how to select devices.
C–CCP Shelf Card/Module Device ID Numbers
3
All cards/modules/boards in the frames at a single site, assigned to a
single BTS number, are also identified with unique Device ID numbers
dependent upon the Frame ID number in which they are located. Refer to
Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 for specific C–CCP Shelf Device ID numbers.
Table 3-3: C–CCP Shelf/Cage Card/Module Device ID Numbers (Top Shelf)
If applicable, a separate CD ROM of BTS Binaries may be
available for binary updates.

Copy CDF Files from CBSC
Before the LMF can execute the optimization/ATP procedures for the
BTS, the correct bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf files must be
obtained from the CBSC and put in a bts-# folder in the LMF
notebook. This requires copying the CBSC CDF files to a DOS
formatted diskette, and using the diskette to install the CDF file in the
LMF.

Follow the procedure in Table 3-6 to obtain the CDF files from the
CBSC and copy the files to a diskette. For any further information, refer
to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide (Motorola part number
68P64114A21) or the LMF Help screen..
NOTE
If the LMF has ftp capability, the ftp method can be used to
copy the CDF files from the CBSC.
3
On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can be
used in place of the cp command (e.g., unix2dos
bts–248.cdf bts–248.cdf). This should be done using a
copy of the CBSC CDF file so the original CBSC CDF file
is not changed to DOS format.
IMPORTANT
*
Table 3-6: Copying CBSC CDF Files to the LMF
StepAction
AT THE CBSC:
1Login to the CBSC workstation.
2Insert a DOS formatted diskette in the workstation drive.
When copying CDF files, comply with the following to
prevent BTS login problems with the LMF:
– The numbers used in the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf
filenames must correspond to the locally assigned numbers
for each BTS and its controlling CBSC.
– The generic cbsc–1.cdf file supplied with the LMF work
with locally numbered BTS CDF files. Using this file doesnot provide a valid optimization unless the generic file is
edited to replace default parameters (e.g., channel numbers)
with the operational parameters used locally.

5Change to the directory containing the file by typing cd <directoryname> (ex. cd bts–248) and
pressing <Enter>.
6Type ls<Enter> to display the list of files in the directory.
7With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf
files on the diskette by entering the following command:
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 CDF
files on the LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended.
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 (e.g., cp bts–248.cdf cbsc–6.cdf /floppy/na_name)
3
8Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# that must be supported by the LMF.
9When all required files have been copied to the diskette, type eject and press the <Enter> key.
10Remove the diskette from the CBSC.
AT THE LMF:
11Start the Windows operating system.
12Insert the diskette into the LMF.
13Using Windows Explorer (or equivalent program), create a corresponding bts–# folder in the
wlmf\cdma directory for each bts–#.cdf/cbsc–#.cdf file pair copied from the CBSC.
14Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent program) to transfer the cbsc–#.cdf and bts–#.cdf files from
the diskette to the corresponding wlmf\cdma\bts–# folders created in step 13.
Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Connection
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (FRUs) requires establishing an MMI communication
session between the LMF and the FRU. Using features of the Windows
operating system, the connection properties for an MMI session can be
saved on the LMF computer as a named Windows HyperTerminal
connection. This eliminates the need for setting up connection
parameters each time an MMI session is required to support
optimization.

Pinging the Processors
For proper operation, the integrity of the Ethernet LAN A and B links
must be be verified. Figure 3-5 represents a typical BTS Ethernet
configuration. The drawing depicts one (of two identical) links, A and B.
Ping is a program that routes request packets to the LAN network
modules to obtain a response from the specified “targeted” BTS.

verify LAN redundancy is operating correctly.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD.
IMPORTANT
*
The Ethernet LAN A and B cables must be installed on
each frame/enclosure before performing this test. All other

1If you have not already done so, connect the LMF to the BTS (see Table 3-2 on page 3-5).
2From the Windows desktop, click the Start button and select Run.
3In the Open box, type ping and the MGLI IP address (for example, ping 128.0.0.2).
NOTE
3
128.0.0.2 is the default IP address for MGLI–1 in field BTS units. 128.0.0.1 is the default IP address
for MGLI–2.
4Click on the OK button.
5If the connection is successful, text similar to the following is displayed:
Reply from 128 128.0.0.2: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=255
If there is no response the following is displayed:
Request timed out
If the MGLI fails to respond, reset and perform the ping process again. If the MGLI still fails to
respond, typical problems are shorted BNC to inter-frame cabling, open cables, crossed A and B link
cables, missing 50–Ohm terminators, or the MGLI itself.

Logging into a BTS
Logging into a BTS establishes a communications link between the BTS
and the CDMA LMF. You may be logged into one or more BTS’s at a
time, but only one LMF may be logged into each BTS.
IMPORTANT
*
Before attempting to log into the BTS, confirm the LMF is properly
connected to the BTS (see Figure 3-2). Follow the procedure in
Table 3-9 to log into a BTS.
Prerequisites
Before attempting to login to a BTS, ensure the following have been
completed:
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf file is
used for the BTS. These should be the CDF files that are
provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF files can result in wrong results. Failure to
use the correct CDF files to log into a live (traffic
carrying) site can shut down the site.
A bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF file and CBSC file exists.
The LMF is correctly installed and prepared, and 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 (see Table 3-2 and Figure 3-2).
Table 3-9: BTS Login Procedure

2If no base stations can be seen, double click on CDMA (in the Available base Stations pick list).
3Click on the desired BTS number.
4Click on the Network Login tab (if not already in the forefront).
5Enter correct IP address (normally 128.0.0.2) for a field BTS, if not correctly displayed in the IP
Address box.
NOTE
128.0.0.2 is the default IP address for MGLI–1 in field BTS units. 128.0.0.1 is the default IP
address for MGLI–2.
6Type in the correct IP Port number (normally 9216) if not correctly displayed in the IP Port box.
7Change the Multi-Channel Preselector (from the Multi-Channel Preselector pick list), normally
MPC, corresponding to your BTS configuration, if required.
8Click on the Use a Tower Top Amplifier, if applicable.

Download the BTS
Download the BTS – 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.
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 site operating software (e.g.,
Release 8.x ROM code and Release 9.x software) AND the CBSC cannot
communicate with the BTS to perform the download. If you must
download ROM code, refer to Appendix H.
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.
RAM Code
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.
3
May 2000
RAM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being downloaded changes to OOS-ROM
(blue). When the download is completed successfully, the device
changes to OOS-RAM (yellow). When code is downloaded to an MGLI,
the LMF automatically also downloads data, and then enables the MGLI.
When enabled, the MGLI changes to INS (green).
For non–MGLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is
downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS–RAM
(yellow).
SC 4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP

Download the BTS – continued
Download Code to Devices
Code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download starts, the device being downloaded changes to
OOS_ROM (blue). If the download is completed successfully, the device
changes to OOS_RAM with code loaded (yellow). Prior to downloading
a device, a code file must exist. 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”
3
parameter in the CDF file). The code file in the code folder must have
the correct hardware bin number. Code can be automatically or manually
selected.
The following are the devices to be downloaded:
Span Configuration
– Master Group Line Interface (MGLI2)
– Slave Group Line Interface (SGLI2)
Clock Synchronization Module (CSM)
Multi Channel Card (MCC24 or MCC8E)
Broadband Transceiver (BBX2)
Test Subscriber Interface Card (TSIC) – if RFDS is installed
IMPORTANT
*
Follow the procedure in Table 3-11 to download the firmware
application code for the MGLI2. The download code action downloads
data and also enables the MGLI2.
Prerequisite
Prior to performing this procedure, ensure a code file exists for each of
the devices to be downloaded.
The MGLI must be successfully downloaded with code and
data, and put INS before downloading any other device.
The download code process for an MGLI automatically
downloads data and enables the MGLI before downloading
other devices. The other devices can be downloaded in any
order.
