BTS Configuration
Objective
Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Communication
The objective of this procedure is to configure the BTS and establish
communication sessions between the LMF and BTS. This procedure
consists of:
1. Creating a named hyperterminal connection for MMI
communication
2. Establishing an MMI communication session
3. Programming customer operating channel
4. Verifying BTS synchronization mode
5. Verifying DPLL tracking
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
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 7-5 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.

Synchronization Background
7
GPS
GPS is typically used as the primary timing reference for CDMA BTSs.
In applications where RGPS is used, the BTS is said to be synchronous
with CDMA system time. The RGPS provides a 1 Pulse Per Second
timing reference and Time Of Day information to allow the BTS to
synchronize to CDMA system time.
HSO
A High Stability Oscillator (HSO) within the BTS provides a backup
timing reference in the event of a GPS outage. Using only the HSO, the
BTS can maintain CDMA system time for up to 24 hours. The BTS can
also use the HSO as the primary timing reference (non–synchronous
operation). However, synchronization to CDMA system time is not
possible. The HSO provides a 1 Pulse Per Second timing reference to
allow the BTS to remain synchronized to CDMA system time in the
event of a GPS outage (synchronous operation) or to provide a stable
frequency reference (non–synchronous operation).

PRELIMINARY
DEC 2000
BTS Configuration – continued
NOTE
The HSO must be installed with GPS tracking for at least
24 hours before the HSO can provide 24 hours of backup
for CDMA system time synchronization.
BTS
The BTS uses a Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) to track the RGPS
and/or HSO and generate a 19.6608 MHz CDMA timing reference. This
timing reference, in conjunction with Time Of Day information provided
by the RGPS, allows the BTS to synchronize to CDMA system time. A
2 Second reference is also generated by the BTS to allow alignment of
Pilot offsets for the BTS and external test equipment. Both the 19.6608
MHz (19 MHz) and 2 Second (2 Sec) references are available via SMA
connectors located in the Diagnostic Access Area.
In order for the DPLL to begin the RGPS tracking process, the RGPS
must be tracking GPS satellites. In order for the DPLL to begin the
HSO tracking process, the BTS must be powered up (warmed) for at
least 15 minutes.
Synchronization Configuration
The DPLL status is defined as being in one of five states: Init, Warm,
A1, A2 and TK.
S The Init state is the starting state of the DPLL.
S The Warm state is the condition during the 15 minute BTS warm up
time.
S The A1 and A2 states are acquisition states when the DPLL is
adjusting the 19.6608 MHz frequency based on the available reference
sources (RGPS or HSO). Under normal operating conditions, the
acquisition states last about 5 minutes.
S The TK state is the DPLL tracking state and is entered at the end of
the acquisition states. The TK state is required for performing ATP.
The Sync button in the Diagnostic Access Area is used to toggle the
RGPS or HSO as the primary timing reference for the BTS. If the
External indicator in the Diagnostic Access Area is illuminated, the BTS
expects an RGPS to be present for use as the primary timing reference.
If the External indicator is not illuminated, the BTS will use the internal
HSO as the primary timing reference.
Use the procedure in Table 7-8 to verify and, if necessary change the
BTS Sync mode.

Test Set Calibration
Background
Proper test equipment calibration ensures that the test equipment and
associated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and that
measurements are correct.
NOTE
If the test set being used to interface with the BTS has been
calibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does not
need to be performed. (Test Set includes LMF terminal,
communications test set, additional test equipment,
associated test cables, and adapters.)
This procedure must be performed prior to beginning the optimization.
Verify all test equipment (including all associated test cables and
adapters actually used to interface all test equipment and the BTS) has
been calibrated and maintained as a set.
CAUTION
If any piece of test equipment, test cable, or RF adapter,
that makes up the calibrated test equipment set, has been
replaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do so
can introduce measurement errors, resulting in incorrect
measurements and degradation to system performance.
