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. Also, the Gain/Loss characteristics and built-in
tolerances of each BTS Frame do not accumulate and cause improper
site operation.
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
“What is Bay Level Offset Calibration?” in the Bay Level Offset
Calibration section of Chapter 3.
RF Paths and Transceiver Optimization
Six of the seven Broad Band Transceiver (BBX) Cards in each SCCP
Cage are optimized to specific RX and TX Antenna Connectors. The
seventh BBX Card acts in a redundant capacity for BBX Cards 1
through 6, and is optimized to all Antenna Connectors. A single
Optimization Value is generated or each complete TX and RX 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–specific Effective Radiated Power
(ERP) Output Power Levels.

When to Optimize
New Installations
The following Operations and Optimization/Test Actions should be
accomplished for a new BTS Site or for a new BTS Frame Installation at
an existing BTS Site:
1. After the Initial Site Installation, it must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying correct Hardware Installation,
Initial Power–up, downloading of Operating Code, verifying GPS
Operation, and verifying Transmit and Receive Paths.
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
and 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
Sub–assembly or Communications 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
tools 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. Before beginning
Optimization or Troubleshooting, make sure that the Test Equipment
needed is on–hand and operating properly.
NOTE
Test Equipment can be substituted with other Test
Equipment Models not supported by the LMF, but thosemodels must meet 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.
1
Test Equipment Calibration
Test Cable Calibration
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service and 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
the tests.
Another method to account for Test Cable Insertion 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 Signal Losses entered into the LMF
before Field Optimization.

BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
Stand-Alone Frame
The 1X SCt4812T–Lite BTS Frame consists of a single cabinet
containing RF and Power Amplifier components. The BTS may be
powered by:
S 220V AC (rectified internally to +27V DC)
S –48V DC (power converted internally to +27V DC)
S +27V DC
Each frame can support up to two carriers in a 3–Sector Configuration.
Six–sector operation is not supported with any SC4812T Lite
configuration.
Figure 1-2 illustrates the external features of the BTS Frame, the single
major component of the Motorola SC4812T Lite.
Expansion Site
Where more than two carriers are desired at a T Lite BTS Site, the
original Starter Frame must be modified and an additional Expansion
Frame with one or two carriers must be employed to achieve up to 4
carriers. Like the BTS Starter Frame, each cabinet contains RF and
Power Amplifier components and employ the same Power Schemas as the
BTS Starter Frame.
The BTS Frame Cabinet is identical for Starter and Expansion Frames
except for the I/O Interconnect Panel. These differences are illustrated in
Figure 1-3 through Figure 1-7.
Frame Configurations
Starter and Expansion Frame configurations are described as follows:
Starter Frame configuration supports one or two carriers, each with
separate Antenna Sets. It can operate as a Stand–Alone BTS, or can be
modified in the field to the Expansion Frame configuration.
Expansion Frame configuration supports one or two carriers using 2:1
TX Combiners and a single Antenna Set for the frame. It operates with an
SC4812T Lite Starter Frame that has its own antennas and different
carriers. Expansion Frames share RX Signals to provide Diversity RX for
the opposite frame. Expansion Frames allow equipping a single SC4812T
Lite BTS Site with up to four carriers.
Logical BTS
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.

BTS Equipment Identification – continued
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 BTS 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 FRAMETAB is displayed for each BTS 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 BTS 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.

SCCP Cage 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 BTS Frame ID Number in which they are located.

The matrix in Table 1-6 shows the correlation between the various Sector
Configurations, Filters, Combiners, and BBX Cards.
Table 1-6: SC 4812T Lite Starter Frame Sector/Carrier Configurations
This section first verifies proper Frame Equipage against the
Site–specific Documentation supplied for each BTS Application. This
includes verifying Card/Module Placement, Jumper, and dual in–line
package (DIP) Backplane Configuration Switch Settings. Next,
pre-Power–up and initial power-up procedures are presented. Finally,
power–down and normal Power–up procedures are covered.
Sites are configured as Omni or up to 3–Sectors – one or two carriers.
Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
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, number and types of BBX and MCC boards, and linear
Power Amplifier assignments are some of the Equipage data included in
the CDF/NECF.
IMPORTANT
*
Ensure 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.

CDF/NECF
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
3
Computer has that capability. Refer to the WinLMF On-Line Help
SR2.16.x for more information.
The CDF/NECF includes the following information:
S Download Instructions and Protocol
S Site–specific Equipage Information
S SCCP Cage Allocation Plan
– BBX Equipage (based on Cell Site Type) including IS–95A/B or
CDMA2000 1X Capability and Redundancy
– CSM Equipage including Redundancy
– Multi–Channel Card 24E, 8E, or –1X (MCC24E, MCC8E, or
MCC–1X) Channel Element Allocation Plan. This plan identifies
how the SCCP Cage is configured, and how the Paging,
Synchronization, Traffic, and Access Channel Elements (and
associated Gain Values) are assigned among the (up to 4)
MCC24Es, MCC8Es, and/or MCC–1Xs in the SCCP Cage.
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, Antenna Gain and Antenna
Feed Line Loss can be combined to calculate the required Transmit
Power at the BTS Frame Antenna Connections. The corresponding
BBX Output Power required to achieve that Power Level on any
channel/sector can then be determined based on Bay Level Offset
(BLO) Data established during the Optimization Process.
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 Cards before Optimization can be performed. BTS Operating
Code is loaded from the LMF Computer.

Site Equipage Verification
*
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 On–line HelpDocumentation Function for the procedure.
If you have not already done so, use a Text Editor to view the
CDF/NECF, and review the Site Documentation. Verify that the Site
Engineering Equipage Data in the CDF/NECF matches the actual site
hardware using a CDF/NECF Conversion Table.
Before using the LMF for Optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf
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 to log into
a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
CAUTION
3
– Use extreme care not to make any changes to the
CDF/NECF File content while viewing the file.
Changes to the CDF/NECF File 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 Electrostatic Discharge (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.

Preparing the LMF
Overview of Packet BTS Files
Software Release 16.0 and earlier releases contained the Configuration
File named CDF for each BTS and CBSC that is used by LMF. In
Software Release 16.1 for Packet BTS Platforms, for BTSs with GLI3
Booting in Packet Binary Mode, the CDF is replaced by two new
Configuration Files called Network Element Configuration Base(NECB) and Network Element Change Journal (NECJ).
3
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 regenerated. Once the NECJ gets to
80% of its maximum size, the NECB is regenerated 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 NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) that
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 also be viewed by any
other word processor, but the XML Tags will not be hidden from
view.
S These files are created by the OMC–R from the MIB as per BTS
Provisioning.
S These files are regenerated for each Software Release Upgrade on the
system for each BTS.
S These files reside on both the OMC–R and Packet Backhaul GLI3
(unlike CDF) and are periodically synchronized between them.
S Both NECB and NECJ Files contain a “SoftwareVersion” Field in
their Header Section identifying the System Release Version of these
files.
S Instead of the bts#.CDF File, the Packet LMF uses a
bts#.XML File, that is a copy of the NECB.XML File.
S The Packet GLI3 needs these files for Site Initialization.
S The scope of the NECB File has grown much broader than that of the
CDF File and has much more BTS–centric information.
IMPORTANT
*
3-61X SC 4812T Lite BTS Optimization/ATPFEB 2005
The use of generic versions of the NECB and NECJ Files
should be strictly avoided in order to preserve 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. Refer to Required Test Equipment and
Software in Chapter 1.
NOTE
In order 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.
Software Files for installing and updating the LMF are provided on
CD–ROM Disks. The following items must be available:
S LMF Application Program on CD–ROM
S CDF/NECF for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
S CBSC File for each supported BTS (on Floppy Disk or CD–ROM)
FTP Server
To be able to download files to the GLI3, the LMF now runs FTP Server
Software on the LMF Laptop. The LMF FTP Server runs from the
LMF”s Home Directory. All the files necessary to run the LMF FTP
Server are installed from the LMF CD–ROM. The FTP Server is
automatically started by the LMF upon successful Login to a Packet
BTS.
3
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, an Error Message is displayed to
the user stating that the port is occupied. There is another option under
the FTP Server Menu called FTP Monitor, that allows the user to watch
FTP Activity between 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 BTSSynch Command. Some common firewall programs to look for include
Network ICE, BlackICE, Norton’s Desktop Firewall, Enterprise
Firewall, and Personal Firewall.

LMF Home Directory
NECF Filename Conventions
and Directory Location
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 is referred to by the following generic name:
<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.
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
3
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)
The LIF contains all the Devices Binaries available for the specified
System Software Release. It is the functional equivalent of the OLF File
that is used in Circuit Backhaul Protocol.
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> is the Home
Directory in which the LMF is installed.
– Usually C:\wlmf <Software Release Number> is 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.

This section provides information and instructions for installing and
updating the LMF Software and Files.
NOTE
3
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 overwrites
these modifications.
There are multiple Binary Image Packages for installation located on the
CD–ROM. When prompted, choose the package that corresponds to the
Switch Software Release that is currently installed.
– Perform the Device Images install after the WinLMF Installation.
– If applicable, a separate CD–ROM of BTS Binaries may be
Perform the procedure in Table 3-2 to install the LMF Application
Program using the LMF CD–ROM.
First Time Installation Sequence:
1. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
2. Install U/WIN K–Shell Emulator
3. Install LMF Application Programs
4. Install/create BTS Folders
available for Binary Updates.

Copy BTS and CBSC CDF (or
NECF) Files to the LMF
Computer
Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF Computer to execute
Optimization/Acceptance Test Procedures, the correct bts-#.cdf and
cbsc-#.cdf (or bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) 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.
– If the LMF has FTP Capability, the FTP method can be used to
copy the CDF or NECF Files from the CBSC.
– On Sun OS workstations, the UNIX2DOS command can be used in
place of the CP Command (e.g., unix2dos bts–248.cdfbts–248.cdf). This should be done using a copy of the CBSC
CDF File so the original CBSC CDF File is not changed to DOS
Format.
3
NOTE
When copying CDF and NECF Files, comply with the
following conventions to prevent BTS Login problems
with the Windows LMF:
S The numbers used in the bts-#.cdfand cbsc-#.cdf(or
bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) file names must
correspond to the locally-assigned numbers for each
BTS and its controlling CBSC.
S The generic cbsc–1.cdf (or cbsc–#.necf) file supplied
with the Windows 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.
The procedure in Table 3-3 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
Files from the CBSC to the LMF Computer. For further information,
refer to the LMF On–Line Help.

and cbsc–#.necf) 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/no_name).
8Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 for each BTS (bts–#) that must be supported by the LMF Computer.

Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Communication
Confirming or changing the Configuration Data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI Communication
Session between the LMF and the FRU.
Using features of the Windows Operating System, the connection
properties for an MMI Session can be saved on the LMF Computer as a
named Windows HyperTerminal Connection. This eliminates the need
for setting up Connection Parameters each time an MMI Session is
required to support Optimization.
Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on
the Windows Desktop. Double–clicking the Shortcut Icon will start the
connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.
Perform the procedure in Table 3-4 to establish a named HyperTerminal
Connection and create a Windows Desktop Shortcut for it.
– For Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, select Hyperterminal and then click on
HyperTerminal.
– For Windows 98, select Communications, double click the Hyperterminal Folder, and then
double click on the Hyperterm.exe Icon in the window that opens.
S If a Location Information Window appears, enter the required information, then click on the
Close Button.
– This is required the first time, even if a modem is not to be used.
S If a message saying “You need to install a modem.....” appears, click on NO.
