This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of the Motorola SC4812ET Lite RF Base Transceiver Station
(BTS) equipment frame and its associated internal and external
interfaces. The following subjects are addressed: preliminary background
information; optimization, and alarm/redundancy tests; Acceptance Test
Procedures (ATP) to verify site operation and regulation compliance; site
turnover; troubleshooting.
Most applications use the same test procedure for all equipment
variations. However, decision break points are provided throughout the
procedure when equipment–specific tests are required. For example,
when tests using external test equipment are performed instead of those
using the RFDS, additional test procedures and illustrations are provided
to cover both applications.
This optimization procedure consists of a group of task-oriented tests.
Each major test category (Audit, Initial power–up, Calibration tests, etc.)
is described in chapters which are broken down into multi-page “maps.”

Assumptions and Prerequisites
Each “map” typically consists of pages containing all the information
necessary to perform the test (including all required input levels, output
levels, CDMA Local Maintenance Facility (CDMA LMF) commands,
and test points required). Also described are some of the main concepts
you must understand in the test process. Whenever possible, graphics,
flowcharts, or other examples complement the information/steps.

Purpose of the Optimization
Why Optimize?
What Is Optimization?
What Happens During
Optimization
1
Proper optimization and calibration ensures that:
S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. 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 and cause improper site
operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for each receive
and transmit path at the BTS site, and stores these values in a database.
S A receive path (RX) starts at the ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX
directional coupler antenna feedline port and travels through the RX
input port on the top of the frame, through the bandpass filter, MPC
and additional splitter circuitry, ending at a Broad Band Transceiver
(BBX) backplane slot in the CDMA Channel Processor (CCP) shelf.
S A transmit path (TX) starts at the BBX backplane slot, is routed
through the BBX I/O to the TX Combiner, travels through the ELPA,
and ends either at an antenna port on top of the frame or RFDS TX
directional coupler antenna feedline port.
Six of the seven BBX2 boards in each S–CCP shelf are optimized to
specific RX and TX antenna ports. The seventh BBX2 board acts in a
redundant capacity for BBX2 boards 1 through 6, and is optimized to all
antenna ports. A single value is generated for each complete 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.
BTS equipment factors in these values internally, leaving only
site–specific antenna feed line loss and antenna gain characteristics to be
factored in by the CFE when determining site ERP output power
requirements.

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, downloading of operating code, verifying GPS operation and
verifying transmit and receive paths.
Next, the optimization is performed. Optimization includes performance
verification and calibration of all transmit and receive RF paths, and
download of accumulated calibration data.
A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths may be performed any time
after optimization to verify BTS calibration.
After optimization, a series of manual pre–Acceptance Test Procedure
(ATP) verification tests are performed to verify alarm/redundancy
performance.
After manual pre–ATP verification tests, a series of ATPs are performed
to verify BTS performance. An ATP is also required before the site can
be placed in service.
Site Expansion
Periodic Optimization
Repaired Sites
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site.
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.

Refer to Appendix B for a detailed FRU Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix outlining the minimum tests that must be
performed any time a BTS subassembly or RF cable
associated with it is replaced.

Required Test Equipment and Software
Policy
To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable optimization test results,
test equipment and software meeting the following technical criteria
should be used to optimize the BTS equipment. Test equipment can, of
course, be substituted with other test equipment models if the equipment
meets the same technical specifications.
It is the responsibility of the customer to account 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.
T est Equipment Calibration
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service, calibration, and characterization prior to BTS optimization.
Follow the original equipment manufacture (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
1
T est Cable Calibration
Equipment Warm–up
Equipment test cables are very important in optimization. It is
recommended 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 CDMA
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:
S Communications test set.
S Rubidium time base.
S Power meter.

BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
The SC4812ETL BTS consists of a single, outdoor, weatherized cabinet
containing RF and power components. The BTS is functionally similar
to the two–cabinet SC4812ET, but provides more flexibility in site
selection because of its smaller footprint and lighter weight. The BTS is
powered by 220 Vac, rectified internally to +27 Vdc, and can support
two carriers in a 3–sector configuration. An SC4812ETL starter frame
with the maximum of one SC4812ETL expansion frame can support 4
carriers in a 3–sector configuration. Six– sector operation is not
supported with any SC4812ETL configuration.
The BTS cabinet houses the fan modules, RF compartment heat
exchanger, Simplified CDMA Channel Processor shelf (S–CCP), RF
Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) modules, LPA trunking modules,
bandpass filters, 2:1 combiners, and Duplexer/Receive Filter/Directional
Couplers (DRDC). Power components include a +27 Vdc Power
Distribution Assembly (PDA), backup batteries, battery heaters,
rectifiers, an AC Load Center (ACLC), and one duplex GFCI 115 Vac
utility outlet.
Logical BTS
A logical BTS can consist of up to two SC4812ETL frames. When the
LMF is connected to frame 1 of a logical BTS, access is available to 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 CBSC file that includes channel
data for all of the logical BTS frames is also required.
The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and
the second frame of the logical BTS is numbered with the suffix, –101
(e. g. BTS–812–101). When the CDMA LMF is logged 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, and
FRAME–438–101 for BTS–438 that has both 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.

Internal Assembly Location and Identification – continued
Punch Block
The Punch Block is the interface between the cabinet and the T1/E1 span
lines, the Customer I/O, alarms, multi–cabinet timing (RGPS and
RHSO), and Pilot Beacon control (optional).
Span I/O Board
The Span I/O Board provides the interface for the span lines from the
CSU to the SCCP backplane (see Figure 1-3).
RF Diagnostic Subsystem (RFDS)
The RFDS provides the capability for remotely monitoring the status of
the SC4812ETL RF transmit and receive paths (Figure 1-6).
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger provides cooling to the cabinet RF compartment.
The fan speed of the heat exchanger adjusts automatically with
temperature. The heat exchanger is located in the cabinet main door.
SC4812ETL Interface Board (ETIB) and LPA Control (LPAC)
Board
The ETIB is an interconnect module with status LEDs, MMI receptacles,
and secondary surge protection for the LPA modules. The LPAC board
provides the interface for LPA connections (See Figure 1-3).
SC4812ETL Trunking Modules
The trunking modules contain a complex, passive RF network that
allows RF signals to share the resources of a bank of four LPAs. They
also provides DC power and digital interconnect (See Figure 1-3).
Batteries
The batteries provide +24Vdc backup to the cabinet should AC power be
lost. The cabinet can accommodate a total of 12 12V batteries,
configured in six series–connected strings of two batteries each. The
time duration of backup provided depends on system configuration (See
Figure 1-3).
Battery Heaters
The battery heater pads warm the batteries to provide improved
cold–weather performance. A separate heater pad is required for each
battery string, and is located between each battery string and its
respective support shelf. The number of heaters is dependent on system
configuration (See Figure 1-3).
1-20
Rectifiers
The rectifiers convert AC power supplied to the cabinet to +27Vdc to
power the cabinet and maintain the charge of the backup batteries (See

BTS Sector Configurations
Sector Configuration
There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-4
outlines the basic requirements. For more detailed information also see
Table 1-5 and Figure 1-7. When carrier capacity is greater than two, a
2:1 cavity combiner must be used. For one or two carriers, bandpass
filters or cavity combiners may be used, depending on sectorization and
channel sequencing.
The configuration below maps RX and TX with optional 2:1 cavity combiners for 3–sectors/2–carriers for
adjacent channels. Note that dual 2:1 cavity combiners are used (6 total).
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 3–sectored with one or two 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 BTS frames, BBX2 and MCC24 boards, 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.
2
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.

Battery Charge T est
(Connected Batteries)
Table 2-7 lists the step–by–step instructions for testing the batteries.
Table 2-7: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
StepAction
1Close the battery shelf circuit breakers (Figure 2-3) 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 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.
Using the DC current probe, measure the current in each of the battery string connections to the
2
battery cabinet bus bars. 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.
NOTE
The bar graph meters on the AC rectifier modules can be used as a rough estimate of the total battery
charge current. Each rectifier module bar graph 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.
2
3The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 amps).
4Allow 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.
5Recheck 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.

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.
S Download MGLI2–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI2–1.
S 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.
S Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
– CSM2

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,
68P64114A21, 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 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.

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 BTS.
This prevents the CBSC from inadvertently sending control information
to the 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).
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.
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.
3-4
Each 19 inch rack can support two CSU M–PATH 537 modules. Each
M–PATH 537 module supports a single 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.

Copy CBSC CDF Files to the
LMF Computer
Table 3-3: CD ROM Installation

Before logging on to a BTS with the CDMA LMF computer 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 CDMA 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 CDMA LMF
computer.
IMPORTANT
*
When copying CDF files, comply with the following to
prevent BTS login problems with the Windows LMF:
S 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.
S The generic cbsc–1.cdf file supplied with the Windows
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.
The procedure in Table 3-4 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
files from the CBSC to the CDMA LMF computer. For any further
information, refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide (Motorola part
no. 68P64114A21) or the CDMA LMF Help screen.

Use the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing step 7.
S 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
CDMA LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended.
S 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/no_name).
8Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# which must be supported by the CDMA LMF computer.

Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Communication
Table 3-5: Create HyperTerminal Connection
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI communication
session between the CDMA LMF computer and the FRU. Using features
of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI
session can be saved on the CDMA 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

Pinging the BTS
For proper operation, the integrity of the Ethernet LAN A and B links
must be be verified. NO TAG 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 3-12 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.

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.
3
ROM Code
Downloading ROM code to BTS devices from the CDMA LMF is NOT
routine maintenance or 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
AND the CBSC can not communicate with the BTS to perform the
download. An example would be a BTS loaded with Release 9.2
software where a GLI loaded with Release 2.8.1 ROM code must be
installed to replace a malfunctioning MGLI.
Before ROM code can be downloaded from the CDMA 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.
ROM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being downloaded will change to
OOS–ROM (blue). The device will remain OOS–ROM (blue) when the
download is completed. The same Revision–level RAM code must then
be downloaded to the device. For example, if Release 2.9.2.1.1 ROM
code is downloaded, Release 2.9.2.1.1 RAM code must be downloaded.
Procedures to load ROM code are located in Appendix G.
RAM Code
3-30
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 will be 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 that matches
the “NextLoad” parameter of the CDF file). The RAM code file in the
code folder must have the correct hardware bin number.
RAM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being loaded will change to OOS-ROM
(blue). When the download is completed successfully, the device will
change to OOS-RAM (yellow). When code is downloaded to an MGLI
or GLI, the CDMA LMF automatically also downloads data and then
enables the MGLI. When enabled, the MGLI will change to INS (green).
For non–GLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is
downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS–RAM
(yellow).

RAM code downloading requires a few minutes. After the download
starts, the non–GLI device being loaded changes to OOS–ROM (blue). If
the download is completed successfully, the non–GLI device changes to
OOS–RAM (yellow).
The MGLI must be successfully downloaded with RAM
code and data, and in INS (green) status before
downloading any other device. The RAM code download
process for an MGLI automatically downloads data and
then enables the MGLI.

Download RAM Code and Data
to MGLI and GLI
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-13 to download the RAM code and
data to the MGLI and other installed GLI devices.
CAUTION
Release 2.9.x RAM code must NOT be downloaded to a
device loaded with Release 2.8.x ROM code, and Release
3
2.8.x RAM code must NOT be downloaded to a device
loaded with Release 2.9.x ROM code.
All devices in a BTS must have the same Release–level
ROM and RAM code before the optimization and ATP
procedures can be performed.
If a newly–installed Release 8–equipped BTS is to be
upgraded to Release 2.9.x, the optimization and
Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) should be accomplished
with the Release 2.8.x code and software. Following the
optimization, the site code and software should be
upgraded to Release 2.9.x by the CBSC. It is not necessary
to perform the optimization and ATPs again after the
upgrade.
If a replacement device with Release 2.8.x ROM code
must be used in a Release 2.9.x–equipped BTS, the device
ROM code can be changed using the CDMA LMF before
the performing the BTS optimization and ATPs. A device
loaded with Release 2.9.x ROM code can not be converted
back to Release 2.8.x ROM code in the field without
Motorola assistance.
Prerequisites
S Prior to performing these procedures, ensure a code file exists for each
of the devices to be loaded.
S The CDMA LMF computer is connected to the BTS (refer to
Table 3-6), and is logged in using the GUI environment (refer to

Each BTS CSM system features two CSM boards per site. In a typical
operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked Loop
(DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated by either an
on–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver (R–GPS).
The GPS receiver interfaced to CSM 1 is used as the primary timing
reference and synchronizes the entire cellular system. CSM 2 provides
clock syncronization redundancy, but does not have a GPS receiver.
The BTS may be equipped with a LORAN–C Low Frequency Receiver
(LFR) High Stability Oscillator (HSO), or external 10 MHz Rubidium
source which the CSM can use as a secondary timing reference. In all
cases, the CSM monitors and determines what reference to use at a given
time.
