FCC Part 68

FCC Part 68 Requirements

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and regulations. A label inside the cabinet
frame easily visible with the door open in the upper portion of the
cabinet contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of the devices which may
connect to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to incoming calls. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

If the dial–in site access modem causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company will notify you of the discontinuance as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your dial–in
site access modem. If this happens, the telephone company will provide
advance notice so that you can modify your equipment as required to
maintain uninterrupted service.

If you experience trouble with the dial–in site access modem, please
contact:

Motorola Cellular Service Center (MCSC)
1501 W. Shure Drive
Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004
Phone Number: (847) 632–5390

for repair and/or warranty information. If the trouble is causing harm to
the telephone network, the telephone company may request you to
disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is solved.
You should not attempt to repair this equipment yourself. This
equipment contains no customer or user–serviceable parts.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could
void your authority to operate this equipment.

Why Optimize?

What Is Optimization?

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 starts at the ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX

directional coupler antenna feedline port, through the RX input port
on the rear of the frame, through the DDRCs, Multicoupler Preselector
Card (MPC), and additional splitter circuitry, ending at a CDMA
Channel Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band Transceiver
(BBX) slot in the C–CCP shelf.

 A transmit path starts at the BBX, through the C–CCP backplane slot,

travels through the LPA/Combiner TX Filter and ends at the rear of
the input/output (I/O) Panel. 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.

Optimization Overview – 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 BBX board is optimized to a specific RX and TX
antenna port. (One BBX board acts in a redundant capacity for BBXs
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, the BTS must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power
up, and GPS verification. Basic alarm tests are also addressed.

A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths is performed to verify factory
calibration.

1

A series of 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.

Repaired Sites

Verify repair(s) made to the BTS by consulting an Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix table. This table outlines the specific tests that must be
performed anytime a BTS subassembly or RF cable associated with it is
replaced.

IMPORTANT

Required Test Equipment

To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable optimization test results,
test equipment meeting the following technical criteria should be used to
optimize the BTS equipment. You can, of course, substitute test
equipment with other test equipment models supported by the LMF
meeting the same technical specifications.

NOTE

During manual testing, you can substitute test equipment
with other test equipment models not supported by the
LMF, but those models must meet the same technical

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 these 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 RFDS
calibration procedures.

BTS Equipment Identification

Equipment Overview

The SC 4812ET BTS consists of an RF Cabinet that is an outdoor,
weatherized version of the SC 4812T. The RF cabinet is powered by
27 Vdc and each cabinet has the capability to support up to 4 carriers (at
3 sector) or 2 carriers (at 6 sector).

The RF Cabinet houses the fan modules, C–CCP, LPA modules, LPA
trunking backplane, Bandpass 2:1 & 4:1 Combiners, Duplexer/Receive
Filter/Directional Couplers (DRDC) and a DC Power distribution
assembly. The Power Cabinet (PC) provides +27 Vdc distribution and
battery backup for the SC 4812ET. The Power Cabinet houses batteries,
battery heaters, rectifiers, an AC Load Center (ACLC), a power
distribution assembly, and two duplexed GFCI convenience outlets.

Logical BTS

A logical BTS can consist of up to four SC 4812ET 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
CDF file that includes equippage information for all of the logical BTS
frames and their devices is required. A Centralized Base Station
Controller (CBSC) file that includes channel data for all of the logical
BTS fames is also required.

1

The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and
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 will only be one tab (e.g., FRAME–282–1) for BTS–282. If a
logical BTS has more than one frame, there will be a separate FRAME
tab for each frame (e.g. FRAME–438–1, FRAME–438–101, and
FRAME–438–202 for a BTS–438 that has all three frames). If an
RFDS is included in the CDF file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1)
will be displayed.

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

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 1-3 and Table 1-4 for specific C–CCP Shelf Device ID numbers.

Sector Configuration

There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-5
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.

Site Equipage Verification

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 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.

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 and
MCC24E/MCC8E boards (per cage), and linear power amplifier
assignments are some of the equipage data included in the CDF.

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
on a conductive surface or back into the anti–static bag it
was shipped in.

Initial Power Up

Introduction

Required Tools

Cabling Inspection

The following information is used to check for any electrical short
circuits and to verify the operation and tolerances of the cellsite and BTS
power supply units before applying power for the first time. It contains
instructional information on the initial proper power up procedures for
the SC 4812ET power cabinet and RF cabinet. Also presented are tests
to be preformed on the power cabinet. Please pay attention to all
cautions and warning statements in order to prevent accidental injury to
personnel.

The following tools are used in the procedures.

 DC current clamp (600 Amp capability with jaw size to accommodate

2/0 cable).

 Hot Air Gun – (optional for part of the Alarm Verification)
 Digital Multimeter (DMM)

Using the site-specific documentation generated by Motorola Systems
Engineering, verify that the following cable systems are properly
connected:

 Receive RF cabling – up to 12 RX cables
 Transmit RF cabling – up to six TX cables

2

IMPORTANT

*

For positive power applications (+27 V):

 The positive power cable is red.
 The negative power cable is black. (The black power

cable is at ground potential.)

Initial Inspection and Setup

CAUTION

Ensure all battery breakers for unused battery positions are
open (pulled out) during any part of the power up process,
and remain in the off position when leaving the site.

Table 2-2: Initial Inspection and Setup

Step Action

1 Verify that ALL AC and DC breakers are turned OFF in both the Power and RF cabinets. Verify that

the DC power cables between the Power and RF cabinets are connected with the correct polarity

2 The RED cables connect to the uppermost three (3) terminals (marked +) in both cabinets. Confirm

that the split phase 240/120 AC supply is correctly connected to the AC load center input.

3 Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally

115 to 120 V AC.

4 Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of nominally

115 to 120 V AC.

5 Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally

115 to 120 V AC.

6 Measure L1 – L2 – should be from 208 to 240 V AC.

CAUTION

If the AC voltages are in excess of 120 V (or exceed
200 V) when measuring between terminals L1 or L2 to
neutral or ground, STOP and Do Not proceed until the
cause of the higher voltages are determined. The power
cabinet WILL be damaged if the Main breaker is turned
on with excessive voltage on the inputs.

Battery Charge Test
(Connected Batteries)

2

Table 2-8: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)

Step Action

1 Close the battery compartment breakers for connected batteries ONLY. This process should be

completed quickly to avoid individual battery strings with excess charge current

Table 2-8 lists the step–by–step instructions for testing the batteries.

NOTE

If the batteries are sufficiently discharged, the battery circuit breakers may not engage individually

due to the surge current. If this condition is observed, turn off the Meter Alarm Panel power switch,

and then engage all the connected battery circuit breakers, the Meter Alarm Panel power switch

should then be turned ON.
2 Using the DC current probe, measure the current in each of the battery string connections to the buss

bars in each battery cabinet. The charge current may initially be high but should quickly reduce in a

few minutes if the batteries have a typical new battery charge level.
3 The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 A).
4 The bargraph meters on the rectifier modules can be used as a rough estimate of the total battery

charge current. Each rectifier module has eight (8) LEDs to represent the output current. Each

illuminated LED indicates that approximately 12.5% (1/8 or 8.75 A) of the rectifiers maximum (70 A)

current is flowing.

EXAMPLE:

Question: A system fitted with three (3) rectifier modules each have three bargraph LEDs

illuminated. What is the total output current into the batteries?

Answer: Each bargraph is approximately indicating 12.5% of 70 A, therefore, 3 X 8.75 equals

26.25 A. As there are three rectifiers, the total charge current is equal to (3 X 26.25 A) 78.75 A.

This charge current calculation only applies at this part of the start up procedure, when the RF Cabinet

is not powered on, and the power cabinet heat exchanger is turned off.
5 Allow a few minutes to ensure that the battery charge current stabilizes before taking any further

action. Recheck the battery current in each string. If the batteries had a reasonable charge, the current

in each string should reduce to less than 5 A.
6 Recheck the DC output voltage. It should remain the same as measured in step 4 of the Power Up

Test.

NOTE

If discharged batteries are installed, all bargraphs may be illuminated on the rectifiers during the

charge test. This indicates that the rectifiers are at full capacity and are rapidly charging the batteries.

It is recommended in this case that the batteries are allowed to charge and stabilize as in the above

step before commissioning the site. This could take several hours.

Battery Discharge Test

Perform the test procedure in Table 2-9 only when the battery current is
less than 5 A per string. Refer to Table 2-8 on the procedures for
checking current levels.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction

Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for downloading system operating
software, set up of the supported test equipment, CSM reference
verification/optimization, and transmit/receive path verification.

IMPORTANT

Optimization Process

*

After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations
(power up) have been completed, the CDMA LMF is used to calibrate
and optimize the BTS. The basic optimization process can be
accomplished as follows:

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.

 Download MGLI2–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI2–1.
 Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of

the following types respond with status information: CSM2, 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 CDMA
LMF.

 Download code and data to all devices of the following types:

– CSM2
– BBX
– GLI2 (other than MGLI2–1)
– MCC

3

Apr 2001

 Download the RFDS TSIC (if installed).
 Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.
 Enable the following devices (in the order listed):

– Secondary CSM (slot 2)
– Primary CSM (slot 1)
– All MCCs

 Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
 Select the test equipment.
 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.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction – continued

 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.

 If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed

paths.

 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

Cell–site Data File

 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.

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
– MCC (MCC24E, MCC8E or MCC–1X) 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) MCCs in the shelf.

 CSM equipage including redundancy
 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, 68P64114A78,
for additional information on the layout of the LMF
directory structure (including CDF file locations and
formats).

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction – continued

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.

IMPORTANT

Site Equipage Verification

*

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,
68P64114A78, or the LMF Help screen, for more information.

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 to the actual site hardware.

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 a
live (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.

Configure Channel Service
Unit

Each frame is equipped with one 50–pair punch block for spans,
customer alarms, remote GPS, and power cabinet alarms. See Figure 3-2
and refer to Table 3-1 for the physical location and pin call–out
information. To disable the span, pull the surge protectors for the
respective span.

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.

The M–PATH 537 Channel Service Unit (CSU) provides in–band
SNMP–managed digital service access to T1 and fractional T1 lines.
M–PATH units plug into the ADC Kentrox 2–slot frame (see
Figure 3-1).

– At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the

BTS and place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT
remove the span surge protectors until the
OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS.

Remote M–PATH management is available via SNMP over an in–band
data link on the T1 line (using a facility data link or 8–64 Kbps of a DS0
channel). The unit at the near end of the management path can be an
SNMP manager or another M–PATH CSU.

Each 19 inch rack can support two CSU M–PATH 537 modules. Each
M–PATH 537 module supports one and only one span connection.

Programming of the M–PATH is accomplished through the DCE 9–pin
connector on the front panel of the CSU shelf. Manuals and a Microsoft
Windows programming disk is supplied with each unit.

Setting the Control Port

Whichever control port is chosen, it must first be set up so the control
port switches match the communication parameters being used by the
control device. If using the rear–panel DTE control port, set the
shelf–address switch SA5 to “up” (leave the switch down for the
rear–panel DCE control port).

For more information, refer to the Kentrox Installation Guide, manual
number 65–77538001 which is provided with each CSU.

Plug one of the cables listed below into the Control Port connectors:

Part Number Description of Cable

01–95006–022 (six feet) DB–9S to DB–9P
01–95010–022 (ten feet)
The control port cables can be used to connect the shelf to:

 A PC using the AT 9–pin interface
 A modem using the 9–pin connector

– Install U/WIN (First)
– Install Java Runtime Environment (Second)
– Install LMF Software (Third)
– Install BTS Binaries (Fourth)
– Install/Create BTS Folders (Fifth)

Any time you install U/WIN, you must install the LMF software because the installation of the LMF
modifies some of the files that are installed during the U/Win installation. Installing U/Win
over–writes these modifications.

NOTE

There are multiple binary image packages for installation on the CD–ROM. When prompted, choose
the load that corresponds to the switch release that you currently have installed. Perform the Device
Images install after the WinLMF installation.

If applicable, a separate CD ROM of BTS Binaries may be available for binary updates.

CDMA LMF Home Directory

The CDMA LMF installation program creates the default home directory
c:\wlmf, and installs the application files and subdirectories (folders)
in it. Because this can be changed at installation, the CDMA LMF home
directory will be referred to with the generic convention of:

<x>:\<lmf home directory>

Where:
<x> = the LMF computer drive letter where the CDMA LMF home

directory is located.
<lmf home directory> = the directory path or name where the CDMA

LMF is installed

NOTE

The CDMA LMF installation program creates the default
home directory c:\wlmf when the CDMA LMF is
installed.

Copy CBSC CDF Files to the
LMF Computer

Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF to execute optimization/ATP
procedures, the correct bts-#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files must be obtained
from the CBSC and put in a bts-# folder in the LMF computer. This
requires creating versions of the CBSC CDF files on a DOS–formatted
floppy diskette and using the diskette to install the CDF files on the
LMF computer.

3

IMPORTANT

*

The procedure in Table 3-4 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For any further information,
refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide (Motorola part number
68P64114A21) or the LMF Help screen..

Table 3-4: Copying CBSC CDF Files to the LMF

Step Action

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 will
work with locally numbered BTS CDF files. Using this file
will not provide a valid optimization unless the generic file
is edited to replace default parameters (e.g., channel
numbers) with the operational parameters used locally.

1 Login to the CBSC workstation.
2 Insert a DOS–formatted floppy diskette in the workstation drive.
3 Type eject –q and press <Enter>.
4 Type mount and press <Enter>.

NOTE

 Look for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
 If the eject command was previously entered, floppy/no_name will be appended with a number. Use

the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing step 7.

5 Change to the directory, where the files to be copied reside, by typing cd <directoryname>

(e.g., cd bts–248) and pressing <Enter>.

6 Type ls and press the Enter key to display the list of files in the directory.

Table 3-4: Copying CBSC CDF Files to the LMF

Step Action

7 With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files

on the diskette by entering the following command:

unix2dos <source filename> /floppy/no_name/<target filename>
(e.g., unix2dos bts–248.cdf /floppy/no_name/bts–248.cdf).

NOTE

 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)

8 Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# that must be supported by the LMF.
9 When all required files have been copied to the diskette, type eject and press <Enter>.

10 Remove the diskette from the CBSC drive.
11 If it is not running, start the Windows operating system on the LMF computer.
12 Insert the diskette containing the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files into the LMF computer.
13 Using Windows Explorer (or equivalent program), create a corresponding bts–# folder in the <lmf

home directory> directory for each bts–#.cdf/cbsc–#.cdf file pair copied from the CBSC.

14 Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent program) to transfer the cbsc–#.cdf and bts–#.cdf files from the

diskette to the corresponding <lmf home directory>\wlmf\cdma\bts–# folders created in step 13.

Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Connection

Apr 2001

SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF

Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS 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.

Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on
the Windows desktop. Double clicking the shortcut icon will start the
connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.

Follow the procedures in Table 3-5 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.

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 sends request packets to the LAN network
modules to get a response from the specified “target” module.

Follow the steps in Table 3-7 to ping each processor (on both LAN A
and LAN B) and verify LAN redundancy is working properly.

CAUTION

Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD.

Using CDMA LMF

Basic LMF Operation

NOTE

The terms “CDMA LMF” and “WinLMF” are
interchangeable

Basic LMF Command Line
Interface (CLI) Operation

The CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operating
environments which are accessed using the specified desktop icon:

 Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
 Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon

The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.

Basic operation of the LMF GUI includes the following:

 Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
 Enabling devices
 Disabling devices
 Resetting devices
 Obtaining device status
 Sorting a status report window

For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A78.

3

Apr 2001

.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only one

handler can be running at one time. The architectural design is such that
the GUI must be started before the CLI if you want the GUI and CLI to
use the same handler. When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI
automatically finds and uses an in–progress login session with a BTS
initiated under the GUI. This allows the use of the GUI and the CLI in
the same BTS login session. If a CLI handler is already running when
the GUI is launched (this happens if the CLI window is already running
when the user starts the GUI, or if another copy of the GUI is already
running when the user starts the GUI), a dialog window displays the
following warning message:

The CLI handler is already running.
This may cause conflicts with the LMF.
Are you sure that you want to start the application?

This window also contains yes and no buttons. Selecting yes starts the

application. Selecting no terminates the application.

 device including device identifier parameters
 switch
 option parameters consisting of:

Logging into a BTS

– keywords
– equals sign (=) between the keyword and the parameter value
– parameter values

Spaces are required between the verb, device, switch, and option
parameters. A hyphen is required between the device and its identifiers.
Following is an example of a CLI command.

measure bbx–<bts_id>–<bbx_id> rssi channel=6 sector=5
Refer to the LMF CLI Commands, R 15.X (68P09251A59) for a

complete explanation of the CLI commands and their use.

IMPORTANT

*

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.

3-22

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.

Before attempting to log into the BTS, confirm the CDMA LMF is
properly connected to the BTS (see Figure 3-4). Follow the procedure in
Table 3-8 to log into a BTS.

Prerequisites

Before attempting to login to a BTS, ensure the following have been
completed:

 The LMF is correctly installed and prepared.
 A bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF 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 3-6 and Figure 3-4).
