CDMA LMF Product Description
CDMA LMF is a graphical user interface (GUI) based Local
Maintenance Facility(LMF). This product is specifically designed to
provide cellular communications field personnel the vehicle to support
the following CDMA Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) operations:
Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by clicking on Help
from the menu bar.
Why Optimize?
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
What Is Optimization?
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.
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 Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) Channel Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band
Transceiver (BBX2) slot in the C–CCP shelf.
A transmit path starts at the BBX2, 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.
1-2
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.
SC 4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP – CDMA LMF
PRELIMINARY 2
July 1999
Optimization Overview– continued
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 BBX2s
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.
A series of ATP CDMA verification tests are covered using the actual
equipment set up. An Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) is also required
before the site can be placed in service.

Required Documents
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.

Test Equipment Calibration
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.
Test Cable Calibration
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.
Equipment Warm–up
Test Equipment List
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.
Communications Test Set
Rubidium Time Base
Power Meter
The following pieces of test equipment are required during the
optimization procedure. Common assorted tools like screwdrivers and
frame keys are not listed but are still required. Read the owner’s manual
on all of the following major pieces of test equipment to understand their
individual operation prior to use in optimization.

Power Cabinet Initial Power Up
Introduction
Required Tools
Initial Inspection and Setup
This section of the manual contains instructional information on the
proper power up procedure for the SC 4812ET BTS. Also presented in
this chapter is the Optimization/ATP 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 Power Cabinet Power Up procedures.
Digital Voltmeter
DC current clamp (600 Amp capability with jaw size to accommodate
2/0 cable).
Hot Air Gun – (optional for part of the Alarm Verification)
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.
Verify that ALL AC and DC breakers are turned OFF in the Power
cabinet. Verify all DC circuit breakers are OFF in the RF cabinet. 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.
CAUTION
Failure to connect the proper AC feed will damage the
surge protection module inside the AC load center.
Power Up Sequence
The first task in the power up sequence is to apply AC power to the
Power cabinet. Once power is applied a series of AC Voltage
measurements is required.
Table 2-2: AC Voltage Measurements
StepAction
1Measure the AC voltages connected to the AC load center (access the terminals from the rear of
the cabinet after removing the AC load center rear panel).
2Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of
nominally 115 to 120 V AC.

3Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of
nominally 115 to 120 V AC.
4Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of
nominally 115 to 120 V AC.
5Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of
nominally 115 to 120 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.
When the input voltages are verified as correct, turn the Main AC
breaker (located on the front of the AC Load Center) ON. Observe that
all eight (8) green LEDs on the front of the AC Load Center are
illuminated.
Turn Rectifier 1 and Rectifier 2 AC branch breakers (on the AC Load
Center) ON. All the installed rectifier modules will start up and should
each have two green LEDs (DC and Power) illuminated.
Turn the DMAC (Digital Metering and Alarms Control) module, ON
while observing the K2 contact in the PDA assembly. The contact should
close. The DMAC voltage meter should read approximately 27.4 +
VDC.
Turn the TCP (Temperature Control Panel) ON, .The DMAC should not
be have any alarm LEDs illuminated .
Check the rectifier current bargraph displays. None should be
illuminated at this point.
NOTE
If batteries are fitted, turn on the two battery heater AC
breakers on the AC Load Center.

Power Up Tests
Table 2-3 lists the step–by–step instructions for Power Up Tests.
Table 2-3: Power Up Tests
StepAction
1Probe the output voltage test point on the DMAC while pressing the 25° C set button on the TCP.
The voltage should read 27.4 +
the TCP 25° C set button.
2Depending on the ambient temperature, the voltage reading may now change by up to + 1.5 V
compared to the reading just measured. If it is cooler than 25C, the voltage will be higher, and if
it is warmer than 25C, the voltage will be lower.
3Close the three (3) Main DC breakers on the Power Cabinet ONLY. Close by holding in the reset
button on the front of the PDA, and engaging one breaker at a time.
4Measure the voltage between the + and – terminals at the rear of the Power Cabinet and the RF
Cabinet, observing that the polarity is correct. The voltage should be the same as the measurement
in step 2.
0.2 VDC. Adjust Master Voltage on DMAC if necessary. Release

5Place the probes across the black and red battery buss bars in each battery compartment. Place the
probe at the bottom of the buss bars where the cables are connected. The DC voltage should
measure the same as the previous step.
Battery Charge Test
Table 2-4 lists the step–by–step instructions for testing the batteries.
Table 2-4: Battery Charge Test
StepAction
1Close the battery compartment breakers for connected batteries ONLY. This process should be
completed quickly to avoid individual battery strings with excess charge current
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 DMAC power switch, and then
engage all the connected battery circuit breakers, the DMAC power switch should then be turned
on.
2Using 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.
3The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 amps).

4The 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 Amps) of the rectifiers
maximum (70 Amps) 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 Amps, therefore, 3 X 8.75 equals
26.25 Amps. As there are three rectifiers, the total charge current is equal to (3 X 26.25 A) 78.75
Amps.
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.
5Allow 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 5A.
6Recheck 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.
RF Cabinet Power Up
Table 2-5 covers the procedures for properly powering up the RF
Cabinet.
Table 2-5: RF Cabinet Power Up
StepAction
1Turn the 400 Amp Main DC breaker in the RF Cabinet ON.
NOTE
Ensure that no alarms or voltage change has occurred in the power cabinet, and that the power
cabinet Main DC breakers have not tripped. The rectifier bargraph readings should be the same as
before the main breaker in the RF cabinet was turned ON.

the RF Cabinet PDA while the RF Cabinet is transmitting.
NOTE
For a three (3) sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.2 VDC.
For a twelve (12) sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.3 VDC.
5Using a DC current probe, measure the current in each of the six (6) DC cables that are connected
between the RF and Power Cabinet. The DC current measured should be approximately the same.
If there is a wide variation between one cable and the others (>10 A), check the tightness of the
connections (torque settings) at each end of the cable.

Cabinet ATP procedure, since an LMF is necessary to ensure that the RF
Cabinet is receiving the appropriate alarms from the Power Cabinet.
The SC 4812ET is capable of concurrently monitoring 10 customer
defined input signals and four customer defined outputs, which interface
to the 50–pin punchblock. All alarms are defaulted to “Not Equipped”
during ATP testing. Testing of these inputs is achieved by triggering the
alarms and monitoring the LMF for state–transition messages from the
active MGLI2.
All customer alarms are routed through the 50 pair punchblock located
in the I/O compartment at the back of the frame. Testing is best
accomplished by using a specialized connector that interfaces to the
50–pair punchblock. This connector is wired so that customer return 1 (2
for the B side) is connected to every input, CDI 0 through CDI 17.
The Alarm Monitor window can be displayed to list alarms that occur
after the window is displayed. To access the Alarm Monitor window,
select Util>Alarm Monitor.
The following buttons are included.
The Options button allows for a severity level (Warning, Minor, and

DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame)
Before applying any power to the BTS cabinet, follow the steps outlined
in Table 2-18 while referring to Figure 2-2 to verify there are no shorts in
the RF or Power Cabinet’s DC distribution system.
Table 2-18: DC Power Pre–test (RF Cabinet and Power Cabinet)

– CSM equipage including redundancy
– Multi Channel Card 24 (MCC24 or MCC8E) channel element
allocation plan. This plan indicates how the C–CCP shelf is

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.

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. Before you can log
into a site, the LMF must have a BTS folder for that site. Whenever
there is a new release of BTS system software (binaries), it must first be
loaded on the LMF from a CD–ROM before it can be downloaded to the

Site Equipage Verification
BTS. The CDF is normally obtained from the CBSC on a floppy disk or
through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the LMF computer has the
capability.
If you have not already done so, use an LMF to view the CDF, and
review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage data
in the CDF to the actual site hardware.
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.

Each frame is equipped with one 50 pair punchblock for spans, customer
alarms, remote GPS, and power cabinet alarms (see Figure 3-1 and
Table 3-1). To disable the span, pull out 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.
Table 3-1 lists the complete pin/signal identification for the 50–pin
punch block.
The channel service unit (CSU) contains a modular Eternet jack on its
fron panel, allowing Eternet UP access to CSUs installed in the same
shelf Each 19 inch rack can support two CSU (M–PATH 538) modules.
Each module supports one span connection. Programming of the CSU is
accomplished through the DCE 9–pin connector on the front panel.
– 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!

Graphical User Interface
Overview
This section provides overview information on using the LMF graphical
user interface (GUI). The GUI works as follows:
Select the device or devices to perform an action on.
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,
along with other pertinent information displayed.
Clicking the OK button closes the status report window.
The R9 BTS software release implements the virtual BTS capability,
also known as Logical BTS. A virtual BTS can consist of up to four
four SC 4812ET frames. When the LMF is connected to frame 1 of a
virtual BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames that make up
the virtual BTS A virtual BTS CDF file that includes equippage
information for all of the virtual BTS frames and their devices is
required. A CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the virtual
BTS fames is also required. The first frame of a virtual BTS has a –1
suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and other frames of the virtual BTS are
numbered with suffixed, –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 virtual 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 virtual BTS. Refer to the Select devices help screen

Enable CSMs
Each BTS CSM system features two CSM boards per site. The GPS
receiver (mounted on CSM 1) is used as the primary timing reference
and synchronizes the entire cellular system. CSM 2 provides redundancy
(but does not have a GPS receiver).
The BTS may be equipped with a LORAN–C Low Frequency Receiver
(LFR), or external 10 MHz Rubidium source which the CSM can use as
3
a secondary timing reference. In all cases, the CSM monitors and
determines what reference to use at a given time.
IMPORTANT
*
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-18 to enable the CSMsinstalled in
the C–CCP shelves.
– Each CSM (of a redundant pair at each BTS) is
associated with “partner” MCCs. CSMs must be
enabled before the partner MCC can be enabled.
– The CSM(s) and MCC(s) to be enabled must have
been downloaded with code (Yellow, OOS–RAM)
and have been downloaded with data.

CSM 1 houses the GPS receiver. The enable sequence can take up to one hour (see below).
* IMPORTANT
The GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained and
operated by the United States Department of Defense (D.O.D.). The D.O.D. periodically alters
satellite orbits; therefore, satellite trajectories are subject to change. A GPS receiver that is INS
contains an “almanac” that is updated periodically to take these changes into account.
If a GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to an hour for the
GPS receiver “almanac” to be updated.
Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3–D position
fix for a minimum of 45 seconds before the CSM will come in service. (In some cases, the GPS
receiver needs to track only one satellite, depending on accuracy mode set during the data load).

CSM System Time – GPS & HSO Verification
CSM & LFR Background
The primary function of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM)
boards (1 & 2) is to maintain CDMA System Time. The master GLI can
request and distribute system time to the appropriate modules within a
C–CCP shelf. The redundant GLI (slave) obtains system time from the
master GLI over the LAN. All boards are mounted in the C–CCP shelf.
Front Panel LEDs
Each CSM board features an ovenized, crystal oscillator that provides
19.6608 MHz clock, even second tick reference, and 3 MHz sinewave
reference, referenced to the selected synchronization source (GPS,
LORAN–C Frequency Receiver (LFR), or High Stability Oscillator
(HSO), T1 Span, or external reference oscillator sources). The 3 MHz
signals are also routed to the RDM EXP 1A & 1B connectors on the top
interconnect panel for distribution to co–located frames at the site.
Fault management has the capability of switching between the CSM 1
and 2 boards in the event of a GPS receiver failure on CSM 1 or a
reference oscillator failure on either CSM board. During normal
operation, the CSM 1 board oscillator output is selected as the source.
The source selection can also be overridden via the LMF or by the GLI
card.
Steady Green – Master CSM locked to GPS or LFR (INS).
Rapidly Flashing Green – Standby CSM locked to GPS or LFR
(Stby).
Flashing Green / Rapidly Flashing Red – CSM OOS–RAM
attempting to lock on GPS signal.
Rapidly Flashing Green / Red – Alarm condition exists. Trouble
Notifications (TNs) are currently being reported to the GLI.

High Stability Oscillator (HSO)
The High Stability Oscillator (HSO) module is a separate full–size card
which resides in a dedicated slot in the lower half of the C–CCP shelf.
This is a completely self contained high stability 10 MHz oscillator
which interfaces with the CSM via a serial communications link. The
CSM handles the overall configuration and status monitoring functions
of the HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the HSO is capable of
maintaining synchronization initially established by the GPS reference
3
signal for a limited time
The HSO is basically a high stability 10 MHz oscillator with the
necessary interface to the CSMs. The HSO is typically installed in those
geographical areas not covered by the LORAN–C system and provides
the following major functions:
Reference oscillator temperature and phase lock monitor circuitry
Internal oscillator generates highly stable 10 MHz sine wave, and
routed to reference divider circuitry
Reference divider circuitry converts 10 MHz sine wave to 10 MHz
TTL signal, which is divided to provide a 1 PPS strobe to the CSM
Equipment Warm–up
CSM frequency verification
Allow the base site andtest equipment to warm up for 60 minutes
after any interruption in oscillator power. CSM board warm-up allows
the oscillator oven temperature and oscillator frequency to stabilize prior
to test. Test equipment warm-up allows the Rubidium standard timebase
to stabilize in frequency before any measurements are made.
The objective of this procedure is the initial verification of the Clock
Synchronization Module (CSM) boards prior to performing the rf path
verification tests. Parts of this procedure will be repeated for final
verification after the overall optimization has been completed.
