This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of Motorola SC 4812ET Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS)
equipment frames equipped with trunked high-power Linear Power
Amplifiers (LPAs) and their associated internal and external interfaces.
Also covered is software release 2.16.1.X and can support the following
versions of SC 4812ET BTS sites:
- 1X Packet Backhaul BTS
- 1X Circuit BTS
- 1X Packet backhaul BTS
The 1X packet BTS has a packet backhaul network interface which
provided via a pair of external 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 & high bit rate data).
Document Composition
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).
This document assumes the following prerequisites: The BTS frames
and cabling have been installed per the BTS Hardware InstallationManual which covers the physical “bolt down” of all SC series
equipment frames, and the specific cabling configurations.
This document covers the following major areas:
Introduction, consisting of preliminary background information (such
as component and subassembly locations and frame layouts) to be
considered by the Cell Site Field Engineer (CFE) before optimization
or tests are performed.
Preliminary Operations, consisting of cabinet power up and power
down procedures.
Optimization/calibration, covering topics of Local Maintenance
Facility (LMF) connection to the BTS equipment, Global Positioning
System (GPS) Verification, test equipment setup, downloading all
BTS processor boards, RF path verification, Bay Level Offset (BLO)
calibration and calibration audit, and Radio Frequency Diagnostic

CDMA LMF Product Description
The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) LMF is a graphical user
interface (GUI) based LMF. This product is specifically designed to
provide cellular communications field personnel the vehicle to support
the following CDMA BTS operations:
The LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.
Activate the CLI by clicking on a shortcut icon on the desktop. The CLI
cannot be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.
Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by clicking on Help
from the menu bar.
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.
Aug 2002
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.
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.
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 ATP is also required before the site can be placed
in service.

NOTE
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.
Refer to Appendix B for detailed basic guideline tables and
detailed Optimization/ATP Test Matrix.
The LMF is used in conjunction with Motorola recommended test
equipment, and it is a part of a “calibrated test set.” To ensure consistent,
reliable, and repeatable optimization test results, only recommended test
equipment supported by the LMF must be used to optimize the BTS
equipment. Table 1-1 outlines the supported test equipment that meets the
technical criteria required for BTS optimization.

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.
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 Warm-up
1
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.

StepAction
1Ensure the 400 Amp Main DC breaker and all other breakers in the RF Cabinet are OFF.
2Proceed to the DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame) sequence (see Table 2-6) (for initial power-up as
required).
3Ensure the power cabinet is turned on (see Table 2-5). Verify that 27 volts is applied to the terminals
on the back of the RF cabinet.
4Engage the main DC circuit breaker on the RF cabinet (see Figure 2-5).
5On each RF cabinet:
Set C-CCP shelf breakers to the ON position bypushing them inone at a time (labeled
C-CCP 1, 2, 3 - located on the power distribution panel).
Set LPA breakers to the ON position bypushing them in one at a time (8 breakers, labeled 1A-1B
through 4C-4D - located on the power distribution panel).
Set the two heat exchanger breakers to the ON position by pushing them in one at a time.
Set the ETIB breaker to the ON position by pushing it in.
Set the OPTION breaker to the ON position by pushing it in.
6Measure the voltage drop between the Power Cabinet meter test point and the 27 V buss bar inside the
RF Cabinet PDA while the RF Cabinet is transmitting.
NOTE
For a 3-sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.2 V.
For a 12-sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.3 V.
7Using 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 (>20 A), check the tightness of the
connections (torque settings) at each end of the cable.
Table 2-8 lists the step-by-step instructions for testing the batteries.
Table 2-8: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
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 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.
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.
2
3The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 A).
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 LEDs to represent the output current. Each illuminated
LED indicates that approximately 12.5% (1/8 or 8.75 A) of the rectifier’s maximum (70 A) current is
flowing.
EXAMPLE:
Question: A system fitted with three 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 8.75A equals
26.25A. 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.
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 5 A.
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.
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 for the procedures to check
current levels.
2
Table 2-9: Battery Discharge Test
StepAction
1Turn the battery test switch on the Meter Alarm Panel, ON (see Figure 2-3). The rectifier output
voltage and current should decrease by approximately 10% as the batteries assume the load. Alarms
for the Meter Alarm Panel may occur.
2Measure the individual battery string current using the DC current probe. The battery discharge
current in each string should be approximately the same (within± 5 A).
3Turn Battery Test Switch OFF.
CAUTION
Failure to turn OFF the Battery Test Switch before leaving the
site, will result in low battery capacity and reduce battery life.
1Turn the Power Cabinet Heat Exchanger breakers ON (seeFigure 2-6 for breaker location).

If the TX calibration fails again, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the full optimization for the failed path.
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 Data File
NOTE
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 BTS/Modem Frame Hardware Installation andFunctional Hardware Description manuals.
The Cell-Site Data File (CDF) contains information that defines the
BTS and data used to download files to the devices. A CDF file must be
placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log
into that BTS. CDF files are normally obtained from the CBSC using a
floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be used if the LMF
computer has the cabability.
The CDF includes the following information:

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.

diskette, or through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the LMF computer has
ftp capability. Refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, or the LMF
Help screen, for more information.
Site Equipage Verification
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.
CAUTION
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Spans
NOTE
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.
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.
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.

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

Table 3-2 describes the action required for span isolation.
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Spans
68P09255A57-2
NOTE
Table 3-2: T1/E1 Span Isolation
3
StepAction
1The OMC/CBSC must disable the BTS and place it OOS.
The Span Lines can be disabled by removing the surge protectors on the 50-pin punch block. Using
Table 3-1 locate the span or spans which need to be disabled and remove the respective surge
protector.
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.
NOTE
If a third party is used for span connectivity, the third party must be informed before disabling the span
line.
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).
NOTE
Software and files for installing and updating the LMF are provided on
CD ROM disks. The following items must be available:
For the 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.
LMF Program on CD ROM
CDF for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
CBSC File for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
The following section provides information and instructions for
installing and updating the LMF software and files.
LMF Operating System Installation
Follow the procedure in Table 3-3 to install the LMF operating system.
Table 3-3: LMF Operating System Installation
3
StepAction
1Insert the LMF Program CD ROM into the LMF CD ROM drive.
- If the Setup screen is displayed, go to step 5.
- If the Setup screen is not displayed, proceed to step 2.
2Click on the Start button.
3Select Run.
4In the Open box, enter d:\autorun and click on the OK button.
NOTE
If applicable, replace the letter d with the correct CD ROM drive letter.
5Follow the instructions displayed on the Setup screen.
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
3-14
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.
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
StepAction
1Login to the CBSC workstation.
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 notprovide a valid optimization unless the generic file is edited to
replace default parameters (e.g., channel numbers) with the
operational parameters used locally.
3
2Insert a DOS-formatted floppy diskette in the workstation drive.
3Type eject -q and press <Enter>.
4Type 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.
5Change to the directory, where the files to be copied reside, by typing cd <directoryname>
(e.g., cd bts-248) and pressing <Enter>.
6Type ls and press the Enter key to display the list of files in the directory.
7With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS-formatted versions of the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf files
on the diskette by entering the following command:
Other versions of Unix do not support the unix2dos and dos2unix commands. In these cases, use the
Unix cp (copy) command. The copied files will be difficult to read with a DOS or Windows text
editor because Unix files do not contain line feed characters. Editing copied CDF files on the LMF
computer is, therefore, not recommended.
Using cp, multiple files can be copied in one operation by separating each filename to be copied
with a space and ensuring the destination directory (floppy/no_name) is listed at the end of the
command string following a space (e.g., cp bts-248.cdf cbsc-6.cdf /floppy/na_name)
8Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts-# that must be supported by the LMF.
9When all required files have been copied to the diskette, type eject and press <Enter>.
10Remove the diskette from the CBSC drive.
11If it is not running, start the Windows operating system on the LMF computer.
12Insert the diskette containing the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf files into the LMF computer.
13Using 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.
3
14Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent program) to transfer the cbsc-#.cdf and bts-#.cdf files from the
diskette to the corresponding <lmf home directory>\cdma\bts-# folders created in step 13.
Creating a Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Connection
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.
NOTE
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.
There are differences between Windows NT and Windows 98 in
the menus and screens for creating a HyperTerminal connection.
In the following procedure, items applicable to:
Table 3-5: Creating a Named Hyperlink Connection for MMI Connection
StepAction
11Perform one of the following:
For Win NT, select Hyperterminal and release any pressed mouse buttons.
For Win 98, select Communications and double click the Hyperterminal folder.
12Highlight the newly created connection icon by moving the cursor over it (Win NT) or clicking on it
(Win 98).
13Right click and drag the highlighted connection icon to the Windows desktop and release the right
3
mouse button.
14From the popup menu displayed, select Create Shortcut(s) Here.
15If desired, reposition the shortcut icon for the new connection by dragging it to another location on the
Windows desktop.
Folder Structure Overview
Figure 3-3: LMF Folder Structure
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.
<x>:\ (drive letter)
<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)
3-18
loads folder
version folder (A separate folder is
required for each different version; for
example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5)
The LMF is connected to the LAN A or B connector located on the left
side of the frame’s lower air intake grill, behind the LAN Cable Access
door (see Figure 3-4).
Table 3-6: LMF to BTS Connection
StepAction
1To gain access to the connectors, open the LAN Cable Access door, then pull apart the Velcro tape
covering the BNC “T” connector and slide out the computer service tray, if desired (see Figure 3-4).
2
Connect the LMF to the LAN A BNC connector via PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter with an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) Adapter and 10BaseT/10Base2 converter (powered by an external AC/DC
transformer). If there is no login response, connect the LMF to the LAN B BNC connector. If there is
still no login response, see Table 6-1, Login Failure Troubleshooting Procedure.
NOTE
- Xircom Model PE3-10B2 or equivalent can also be used to interface the LMF Ethernet
connection to the frame connected to the PC parallel port, powered by an external AC/DC
transformer. In this case, the BNC cable must not exceed 91 cm (3 ft) in length.
3
* IMPORTANT
The LAN shield is isolated from chassis ground. The LAN shield (exposed portion of BNC connector)
must not touch the chassis during optimization.

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.
NOTE
WinLMF (unreleased version 2.16.1.0.15 for example) has an
option in the LOGIN menu to ping the GLI prior to login.
Follow the steps in Table 3-7 to ping each processor (on both LAN A

Download Files to the LMF - Site Specific BTS Files
Download Files to the LMF - Site Specific BTS Files
These procedures must be followed prior to an initial BTS optimization,
or anytime a new release of the BTS operating system software is to be
loaded from the LMF to the BTS.
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-9 to create a bts directory and
download files to that bts-specific directory. Perform this procedure onlyif the CDF files have not been previously loaded.
Table 3-9: Downloading Site Specific BTS Files
68P09255A57-2
3
StepAction
NOTE
The types of files that can be downloaded include calibration files (.cal extension) and CDF files
(.cdf extension). Files may be compressed (indicated by a .Z extension).
1Obtain the 3.5-in. diskette(s) containing the configuration data file and calibration data.
2Enter the following UNIX command from the /usr/lmf directory, to create a BTS specific
directory (if it does not already exist).
mkdir bts-<bts#>
3Enter the following UNIX command to change to the newly created directory:
cd bts-<bts#>
4Insert the first 3.5 inch floppy diskette. Verify disk is loaded with the proper BTS files/ versions by
typing the following at the
seedisk <cr>
5To load the BTS files from the disk into the appropriate directory, enter the following at the (lmf):
prompt:
fromdisk <cr>
(lmf): prompt:
NOTE
Copy bts-#.cdf and (if they exist) bts-#.cal files to the /usr/lmf/bts-# directory. (# equates
to the actual BTS site number).
Unless sites use different device loads, create links to device files (as described in Table 3-10)
rather than placing individual copies into each bts directory.
6If files are compressed, use the uncompress *.Z command to unpack files.
Download Files to the LMF - Master-bts-cdma Files
These procedures must be followed prior to an initial BTS optimization,
or anytime a new release of the BTS operating system software is to be
loaded from the LMF to the BTS.
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-10 to create a bts-master-cdma
directory, to download files, and to create softlinks to the device load
bts- <bts#> subdirectory. (Always consult
3-22
files into the appropriate
latest software release notes as this is an interim procedure and is subjectto change).
The following step is for LMF software releases version 5 and 6 only.
Globally change the BTS ID in the new CDF file using the following UNIX commands:
4
vi bts-new_<bts#>.cdf
:1,$ s/Id1 = old_<bts#>/Id1 = new_<bts#>
:1,$ s/old_<bts#>_/new_<bts#>_
Include the underscore after the old and new bts # in the above command
:1,$ s/BTS\[old_<bts#>/BTS\[new_<bts#>
:wq
NOTE
You should now be able to log into the bts using the new CDF file. If you search for the old BTS #, it
should be gone. You will have to edit the CDF file (using the vi editor) as far as BBX, MCC, etc.
equipage is concerned.
Update BTS Specific CDF File Device Load Version and Site Type
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-12 to update the existing BTS
specific CDF file NextLoad parameter, to reflect the current device load
version to be downloaded and verify the correct Site Type. (This is an
Device load version in the CDF file must match the current
version loaded at the OMCR/CBSC.

Table 3-12: Update BTS Specific CDF File Device Load Version
StepAction
! CAUTION
If you are not familiar with the UNIX vi editor, create a “dummy” CDF file, and practice making
changes to it, prior to altering the “real” one.
* IMPORTANT
CDF files obtained from the OMCR/CBSC are modified by DELTA information being appended to
the end of the CDF file. The information in the DELTA fields take precedence over information in the
“core CDF file” For example: If NextLoad=‘‘1.2.3.4.5” for BBX 1 was specified in the CDF file, and
3
there was a DELTA entry specifying NextLoad=‘‘2.3.4.5.6” appended to the CDF file for the same
BBX, 2.3.4.5.6 would be the version used.
There are two ways resolve this. Edit both the DELTA and “core” areas of the file to reflect the same
version, or make sure the delta information is transferred to the main CDF file and delete all DELTA
CDF file entries.
1Globally change the device load version number in the new CDF file using the following UNIX
commands:
vi bts-new_<bts#>.cdf
:1,$ s/x.x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y.y
Where: x.x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y.y represent the old and new version number, respectively.
:wq
NOTE
You should now be able to download all devices at the BTS with the current device load version.
2Verify the SiteType and SSType entries in the CDF file (under the BTS subheading) reflect the
following information. See example of applicable fields of CDF file below.
(CDMA only; 1900 MHz example shown):

StepAction
! CAUTION
If you are not familiar with the UNIX vi editor, create a “dummy” CDF file, and practice making
changes to it, prior to altering the “real” one.
NOTE
For more information on file management, creating bts directories, viewing/editing CDF files, refer to
the LMF Users Guide.
1View the antenna.map file (see below) and verify the Xcvrs listed in the CDF file (and that are
equipped in the BTS) are also listed in the antenna.map file (for both RX and TX tables). Make
sure the antenna.map file has enough RX and TX antennas listed to cover the number of sectors
indicated by CDF’s SiteConf parameter.
2Verify all RX and TX antennas listed in the file antenna.map are also listed in the antenna.asu
file.
NOTE
The antenna.asu file is required only if the BTS is equipped with RFDS. Be sure that the information
in antenna files matches your actual configuration.
The CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operating
environments which are accessed using the specified desktop icon:
The terms “CDMA LMF” and “WinLMF” are interchangeable
Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon
3
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.
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.

Logging into a BTS
NOTE
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.
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 3-14 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).
