Optimization Manual: Scope and Layout
Manual Scope and Layout
This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of Motorola SC 4812T Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS)
equipment frames equipped with trunked high–power Power Amplifiers
(PAs) and their associated internal and external interfaces.
Also covered is Software Release R2.16.3.x which supports the
following versions of SC 4812T BTS sites:
– 1X Circuit BTS
– 1X Packet backhaul BTS
The 1X packet BTS has a packet backhaul network interface which is
provided via a pair of routers together with a GLI upgrade (GLI3) that
can handle voice (IS-95A/B, 1X) and data (IS-95B, 1X).
This BTS equipment is configured with all 1X cards (BBX–1X
andMCC1X) or a mix of 1X cards and non–1X cards (BBX2 and
MCC8E/24E). This configuration is compliant with all applicable
cdma2000 1X specifications. It provides the forward link and reverse
link RF functions to support 2G features and 3G-1X features (i.e., high
capacity voice and high bit rate data).
The 1X circuit BTS has a split backhaul (circuit/packet pipe) network
interface that can handle circuit based voice (IS-95A/B, 1X) and data
(IS-95B) as well as packet based data (1X).
Assumptions and Prerequisites
This document assumes the following prerequisites: The BTS frames
and cabling have been installed per the SC Product Family FrameMounting Guide manual, which covers the physical “bolt down” of all
SC series equipment frames, and the 1X SC 4812T BTS HardwareInstallation manual, which covers BTS specific cabling configurations.
In most applications the same test procedure is used for all equipment
variations. However, decision break points are provided throughout the
procedure when equipment specific tests are required.
NOTE
We at Motorola Technical Information Products and Services 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.
As the Code Division Multiple Access (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.

Purpose of the Optimization
68P09258A31–A
1
Purpose of the Optimization
Why Optimize?
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
What Is Optimization?
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.
What Happens During Optimization?
Overview – During optimization, the accumulated path loss or gain is
first determined for each RF transmit path in the BTS. These transmit
path loss or gain values are then stored in a database along with RF
receive path default values.
RF path definitions – For definitions of the BTS transmit (TX) and
receive (RX) paths, see “Bay Level Offset Calibration” in Chapter 3.
RF paths and transceiver optimization – Six of the seven Broad Band
Transceiver (BBX) boards in each CCP shelf are optimized to specific
RX and TX antenna connectors. The seventh BBX board acts in a
redundant capacity for BBX boards 1 through 6, and is optimized to all
antenna connectors. A single optimization value is generated for each
complete path. This eliminates the accumulation of error that would
occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of
each element in the path.
Using RF path gain/loss values – BTS equipment factors in the derived
optimization values internally to adjust transceiver power levels, leaving
only site–specific antenna feedline loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining required site Effective
Radiated Power (ERP) output power levels.

When to Optimize68P09258A31–A
When to Optimize
New Installations
1
The following operations and optimization/test actions should be
accomplished for a new BTS or frame installation:
1. 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.
2. Next, the optimization is performed. Optimization includes
performance verification and calibration of all transmit and receive
RF paths, and download of accumulated calibration data.
3. A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths may be performed any
time after optimization to verify BTS calibration.
4. After optimization, a series of manual pre–Acceptance Test
Procedure (ATP) verification tests are performed to verify
alarm/redundancy performance.
5. After manual pre–ATP verification tests, an ATP is performed to
verify BTS performance. An ATP is also required to demonstrate
regulation compliance before the site can be placed in service.
Site Expansion
Periodic Optimization
Repaired Sites
Optimization is required after expansion of a site with additional BTS
frames.
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
Refer to Appendix C for a detailed FRU Optimization/ATP Test Matrix
outlining the minimum tests that must be performed any time a BTS RF
subassembly or cable associated with an RF path is replaced.

Required Test Equipment and Software
Overview
Test equipment and software described in this section is required for the
optimization procedure. Common assorted tools such as screwdrivers
and frame keys are also needed. Read the owner’s manual for all of the
test equipment to understand its individual operation before using the
tool in the optimization.
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 equipmentmeets the same technical specifications.
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 same technicalspecifications.
Test Equipment Calibration
Test Cable Calibration
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.
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service, calibration prior to BTS optimization. Follow the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended maintenance and
calibration schedules closely.
Test cables can make critical differences in optimization accuracy. It is
recommended that cable calibration be run at every BTS with the
complete test equipment set. 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.
1-6
Another method to account for cable loss is by entering it into the LMF
during the optimization procedure. This method requires accurate test
cable characterization using shop test equipment. Characterized cables
should be tagged with the characterization information, and the
measured losses entered into the LMF before field optimization.

BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
The Motorola SC 4812T BTS can consist of the following equipment
frames:
S At least one BTS starter frame
– +27 V BTS (see Figure 1-2)
– –48 V BTS (see Figure 1-3)
S Ancillary equipment frame (or wall mounted equipment)
S Expansion frames
– +27 V BTS (see Figure 1-4)
– –48 V BTS (see Figure 1-5)
Ancillary Equipment Frame Identification
NOTE
Equipment listed below can be wall mounted or mounted in a
standard 19 inch frame. The description assumes that all
equipment is mounted in a frame for clarity.
1
Logical BTS
If equipped with the RFDS option, the RFDS and directional couplers
are the interface between the site antennas and the BTS or Modem
frame. The RFDS equipment includes:
S Directional couplers
S Site receive bandpass/bandreject filters
S RFDS
The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability. 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/NECF 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
frames.

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/NECF file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1) is 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.
Table 1-3: C–CCP Shelf/Cage Card/Module Device ID Numbers (Top Shelf)
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:
S The top interconnect plate where all connections are made.
S The upper portion of the frame which houses circuit breakers, cooling
fans, and the C–CCP shelf.
S The lower portion of the frame which houses the PA fans, PAs, and
TX filter/combiners.
S The –48 V version of the BTS also has a section below the PAs
containing a power conversion shelf that supplies power to the PAs.
Use the illustrations that follow to visually identify the major
components, that make up the Motorola SC 4812T BTS frame.
Top Interconnect Plate (see Figure 1-6 or Figure 1-7)
All cabling to and from the BTS equipment frames is via the
interconnect panel on the top of each frame. Connections made here
include:

In a BSS operating with R16.0 software, BBX–1X cards can be used as
direct replacements for BBX2 cards; however, different types of BBXsshould not be mixed on the same carrier. Therefore, if a BBX2 card is
replaced with a BBX–1X, all remaining BBX2 cards for the carrier
supported by the replaced card must also be replaced with BBX–1X
cards.

BTS 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.

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, 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 FrameHardware Installation manual.
NOTE
Site Equipage Verification
CAUTION
The Configuration Data File (CDF) or Network Element Configuration
File (NECF) contains site type and equipage data information and passes
it directly to the LMF during optimization. The number of modem
frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX boards, MCC boards (per cage), and
linear power amplifier assignments are some of the equipage data
included in the CDF/NECF.
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and cbsc–#.cdf
files are used for the BTS. These should be the CDF/NECF files
that are provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF/NECF files can cause system errors. Failure to use
the correct CDF/NECF files to log into a live (traffic
carrying) site can shut down the site.
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.
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 shipping bag.

Introduction to Optimization and Calibration
Introduction to Optimization and Calibration
Overview
This section describes procedures for isolating the BTS from the span
lines, preparing and using the LMF, downloading system operating
software, CSM reference verification/optimization, set up and calibration
of the supported test equipment, transmit/receive path verification, using
the RFDS, and verifying the customer defined alarms and relay contacts
are functioning properly.
68P09258A31–A
NOTE
3
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 Process Summary
After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations, such
as power up, have been completed, the LMF is used to optimize the
BTS. The basic optimization process consists of the following:
1. Download MGLI–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI–1.
NOTEGLIs may be GLI2s or GLI3s.
2. Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of
the following types respond with status information: CSM, BBX,
GLI, 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/NECF file. The
CDF/NECF file must be corrected before the device can be accessed
by the LMF.
3. Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
– CSM
– BBX (may be BBX2 or BBX–1X)
– GLI (other than MGLI–1)
– MCC (may be MCC–8E, MCC24, or MCC–1X)
4. Download the RFDS TSIC (if installed).
5. Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO or LFR signals.
6. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
– Secondary CSM
– Primary CSM
– All MCCs
7. Using the LMF test equipment selection function, select the test
equipment to be used for the calibration.
8. Calibrate the TX and RX test cables if they have not previously been
calibrated using the CDMA LMF that will be used for the
optimization/calibration. The cable calibration values can also be
entered manually.
9. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
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.

Introduction to Optimization and Calibration68P09258A31–A
11. If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed
paths.
12. If the TX calibration fails again, troubleshoot and correct the
problem that caused the failure and repeat the full optimization for
the failed path.
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.
Cell-site Types
CDF/NECF
NOTE
3
Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
For more information on the different in site types, please refer
to the applicable Hardware Installation manual.
The CDF/NECF (Configuration Data File/Network Element
Configuration File) contains information that defines the BTS and data
used to download files to the devices. A CDF/NECF file must be placed
in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log into that
BTS. CDF/NECF 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. Refer to the LMF Help function on–linedocumentation for more information.
The CDF/NECF includes the following information:
S Download instructions and protocol
S Site specific equipage information
Oct 2003
S C–CCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX 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.
S CSM equipage including redundancy
S 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 BBX output
level required to achieve that power level on any channel/sector can
also be determined.

NOTE
Refer to Figure 3-1 and the LMF Help function on–line
documentation for additional information on the layout of the
LMF directory structure (including CDF/NECF 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
NOTE
BTSs configured for Circuit Backhaul use bts.cdf files. BTSs configured
for Packet Backhaul use bts.necf files (bts–xxx.xml) located on the
OMC/R.
Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) 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/NECF files can cause
wrong results. Failure to use the correct CDF/NECF files tolog into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
The CDF/NECF 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 LMF Help function on–linedocumentation for the procedure.
Site Equipage Verification
CAUTION
If you have not already done so, use an editor to view the CDF/NECF,
and review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage
data in the CDF/NECF matches the actual site hardware using a
CDF/NECF conversion table.
– Use extreme care not to make any changes to the
CDF/NECF content while viewing the file. Changes to the
CDF/NECF can cause the site to operate unreliably or
render it incapable of operation.
– 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

Preparing the LMF
Overview of Packet BTS files
R16.0 and earlier releases had the configuration file called CDF for each
BTS and CBSC used by LMF. In 16.1 Packet BTS, BTS with GLI3
booting in packet binary, the CDF is replaced by two new configuration
files called Network Element Configuration Base (NECB) and Network
Element Change Journal (NECJ). The NECB contains the baseline
configuration and is analogous to the CDF, while the NECJ contains all
the changes made to the configuration since the last time the NECB was
re–generated. Once the NECJ gets to 80% of its maximum size, the
NECB is re–generated and all the updates are rolled into it.
These files play much broader and vital role than previous CDF files.
GLI3 booting in circuit binaries works similar to R16.0.
A few LMF related important facts about these files are listed below.
S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in XML format.
S NECB contains all the up-to-date static configuration information and
Preparing the LMF68P09258A31–A

NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) which are
not updated in the NECB.
S Both files can be viewed in any XML viewer (most easily available is
Internet Explorer V5.0 and higher). They can be also viewed by any
other word processor, but the XML tags will also be seen with them.
S These files will be created by OMC–R from MIB as per the BTS
provisioning.
S These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on
the system for each BTS.
S These files will reside on both OMC–R and Packet–GLI3 (unlike
CDF) and will be synchronized periodically between them.
S Both NECB and NECJ file contain a “SoftwareVersion” field in their
header section indicating the system release version of these files.
S Instead of the bts#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses a bts#.XML file,
which is a copy of the NECB.XML file.
S Packet–GLI3 will need these files for site initialization.
S The scope of NECB has grown much broader than CDF and has much
more BTS centric information. The use of generic version of these
files should be strictly avoided for the correct site initialization.

LMF Features and Installation Requirements
Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software
must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting
Motorola–specified requirements (see Recommended Test Equipment
and Software in Chapter 1).

Software and files for installation and updating of the LMF are provided
on CD ROM disks. The following installation items must be available:
For the CDMA LMF graphics to display properly, the computer
platform must be configured to display more than 256 colors.
See the operating system software instructions for verifying and
configuring the display settings.

FTP Server
To be able to download files to the GLI3, the LMF now runs FTP server
on the LMF laptop. The LMF FTP server runs from the LMFs home
directory. All the files necessary to run the LMF FTP server are installed
from the LMF CD. The FTP server is automatically started by the LMF
upon successful Login to a Packet BTS.
In addition, the LMF provides a new option in the Tools menu called
FTP Server. The option starts the LMFs FTP server if Start is selected,
and stops the server if Stop is selected. The LMFs FTP server runs on
port 21. If any other process is using that port, the error message is
displayed to the user stating that the port is occupied. There is another
option under FTP Server menu called FTP Monitor, which allows the
user to watch FTP activity b/w the LMF and GLI.

Firewalls
Firewalls will block the FTP requests from the Packet GLI to the LMF
laptop. You must disable your firewall before attempting the BTS Synch
command. Some common firewall programs to look for include Network
ICE, BlackICE, Norton’s Desktop Firewall, Enterprise Firewall, and
Personal Firewall.
FTP Server Port in use
On some Windows 2000 installations, a process called “inetd.exe”
makes the FTP server port 21 unusable by the LMF. If the LMF reports
that the FTP server could not start because the port is in use, make sure
the inetd.exe is not running by using the Task Manager’s process list. If
inetd.exe is running, end the process by selecting it and clicking the
“End Process” button. Inetd32.

LMF File Structure Overview
Figure 3-1: LMF Folder Structure
Preparing the LMF68P09258A31–A
The LMF uses a <x>:\<lmf home directory> folder that contains all of
the essential data for installing and maintaining the BTS. The following
list outlines the folder structure for LMF. Except for the bts-nnn folders,
these folders are created as part of the LMF installation. Refer to the
CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide for a complete description of the folder
structure.
NOTE
(C:)
x:\<lmf home directory> folder
cdma folder
BTS–nnn folders (A separate folder is
required for each BTS where bts–nnn is the
unique BTS number; for example, bts–163.)
loads folder
version folder (A separate folder is
required for each different version; for
example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5.)
code folder
data folder
The “loads” folder and all the folders below it are not available
from the LMF for Software Release 2.16.1.x. These folders may
be present as as a legacy from previous software versions or
downloaded from the CBSC/OMC–R.

LMF Home Directory
The 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.
3
<lmf home directory> = the directory path or name where the CDMA
LMF is installed.

NECF Filename Conventions and Directory Location
NECF
The NECF actually consists of two files: the NECB and NECJ. The
naming convention for the NECB and NECJ is:
NECB*bts#.xml
NECJ*bts#.xml
Where:
* = any characters can be substituted there
# = the actual integer BTS number
The NECB and its corresponding NECJ must have the exact same name,
except for the “B” and “J” difference after the initial NEC characters.
The NECB and the NECJ must reside in the
<LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts–# directory corresponding to the BTS frame
they are for.
Load Information File (LIF)
Preparing the LMF68P09258A31–A

The LIF contains all the devices binaries available for the specified
System Software Release. It is the functional equivalent of the OLF file
that was used pre–Packet.
The naming convention for the LIF is:
NE_LIF.xml
The LIF must reside in the <LMF_HOME>\cdma\loads\<Software
Release Number> directory, where <LMF_HOME> = the home
directory in which the LMF is installed, usually C:\wlmf <Software
Release Number> = the System Software Release Number (e.g.
2.16.1.0.10).
Cal File
The Cal File still resides in the <LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts–# directory
and is named bts–#.cal, where # is the actual integer number of the BTS.
