Basic Troubleshooting

Overview

The information in this chapter addresses some of the scenarios likely to
be encountered by Customer Field Engineering (CFE) team members
while performing BTS optimization and acceptance testing. This
troubleshooting guide was created as an interim reference document for
use in the field. It provides “what to do if” basic troubleshooting
suggestions when the BTS equipment does not perform according to the
procedures documented in the manual.

Comments are consolidated from inputs provided by CFEs and
information gained from experience in Motorola labs and classrooms.

1 If the GLI LED is solid RED, it implies a hardware failure. Reset GLI by re-seating it. If this persists,

install GLI card in GLI slot and retry. A Red LED may also indicate no termination on an external
LAN connector (power entry compartment at rear of frame).

2 Verify that the span line is disconnected at the Span I/O card. If the span is still connected, verify the

CBSC has disabled the BTS.
3 Try to ‘ping’ the GLI.
4 Verify the LMF is connected to the primary LAN (LAN A) at the LAN shelf below the CCP2 cage. If

LAN A is not the active LAN, force a LAN switch to LAN A by following the procedure in

Table 11-2.
5 Verify the LMF was configured properly.
6 If a Xircom parallel BNC LAN interface is being used, verify the BTS-LMF cable is RG-58 (flexible

black cable less than 2.5 feet in length).
7 Verify the external LAN connectors are properly terminated (power entry compartment at rear of

frame).
8 Verify a T-adapter is not used on LMF computer side connector when connected to the primary LAN

at the LAN shelf.
9 Try connecting to the Ethernet Out port in the power entry compartment (rear of frame). Use a

TRB–to–BNC (triax–to–coax) adapter at the LAN connector for this connection.

10 Re-boot the LMF and retry.
11 Re-seat the GLI and retry
12 Verify GLI IP addresses are configured properly by following the procedure in Table 11-3.

Table 11-2: Force Ethernet LAN A to Active State as Primary LAN

Step Action

1 If LAN A is not the active LAN, make certain all external LAN connectors are either terminated with

50Ω loads or cabled to another frame.
2 If it has not already been done, connect the LMF computer to the stand–alone or starter frame, as

applicable (Table 6-6).
3 If it has not already been done, start a GUI LMF session and log into the BTS on the active LAN

(Table 6-7).
4 Remove the 50Ω termination from the LAN B IN connector in the power entry compartment at the

rear of the stand–alone or starter frame. The LMF session will become inactive.
5 Disconnect the LMF computer from the LAN shelf LAN B connector and connect it to the LAN A

connector.
6 If the LAN was successfully forced to an active state (the cards in any cage can be selected and

statused), proceed to step 13.
7 With the 50Ω termination still removed from the LAN B IN connector, remove the 50Ω termination

from LAN B OUT connector. If more than one frame is connected to the LAN, remove the termination

from the last frame in the chain.
8 If the LAN was successfully forced to an active state (the cards in any cage can be selected and

statused), proceed to step 13.
9 With the 50Ω terminations still removed from LAN B, unseat each GLI card in each frame connected

to the LAN, until all are disconnected from the shelf backplanes.

10 Reseat each GLI card until all are reconnected.
11 Allow the GLIs to power up, and attempt to select and status cards in the CCP shelves. If LAN A is

active, proceed to step 13.

12 If LAN A is still not active, troubleshoot or continue troubleshooting following the procedures in 13.
13 Replace the 50Ω terminations removed from the LAN B IN and OUT connectors.

The code domain power test verifies the noise floor of a carrier keyed up
at a specific frequency per the CDF file.

Code domain power is the power in each code channel of a CDMA
Channel. The CDMA time reference used in the code domain power test
is derived from the Pilot Channel and is used as the reference for
demodulation of all other code channels. This test verifies that
orthogonality is maintained between the code channels. When transmit
diversity is enabled, this test also verifies that time alignment is also
maintained.

MCC–DO Pilot Time Offset

The pilot time offset test verifies the transmitted pilot channel element
pilot time offset of a carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the CDF
file.

The calibrated communications test set measures the pilot time offset in
microseconds, verifying that the result is within 3 microseconds (10
microseconds for JCDMA systems) of the target pilot time offset (zero
microseconds).

Pilot time is defined as the estimate of CDMA System Time derived
from observation of the pilot signal at the base station RF output port.
Pilot time alignment error is the difference between the measured pilot
time and the expected time, taking into account CDMA System Time
and pilot offset.

MCC–DO Packet Error Rate

The PER test verifies PER (Packet Error Rate) of traffic channels of an
XCVR carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the current CDF file.
The XCVR is keyed to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot channel
element only) of the correct level.

The calibrated communications test set measures the all zero long code
and verifies that the PER is not greater than 1 percent. A total number of
packets to be received is dependent on Rate Set chosen.

Test Equipment Preparation – continued

Agilent R7495A T est Equipment
Setup

B

This test equipment requires a warm-up period of at least 30 minutes
before BTS testing or calibration begins.

Using the Agilent E7495A with the LMF

The Agilent E7495A does not require the use of the 19MHz frequency
reference; if connected, it will be ignored. The Even Sec SYNC
connection is required.

The Agilent E7495A signal generator is only calibrated down to –80db.
In order to achieve accurate FER testing, be sure the RX setup includes
at least 40db of attenuation. This will ensure the signal generator will
output sufficient power to operate in the calibrated range.

Set the IP Address as described in Table B-1.

Table B-1: Set IP Address on Agilent E7495A test set

n Step Action

1 Use the System Button > Controls >IPAdmin to set an IP address on the E7495A as 128.0.0.49,

and Netmask to 255.255.255.128.

Connections

It is recommended that you use a hub with BNC and RJ–45 connections.
[Suggested models: Netgear model EN104 (4 port) or EN108 (8 port).
Do NOT use model numbers ending with “TP”; those have no BNC
connectors.]

The LMF will connect to the hub which in turn is connected to the BTS
and to the Agilent E7495A.

Agilent E7495A to Hub – This is an Ethernet cable, RJ–45 to RJ–45.

LMF to Hub – Use one of the following cables to connect the LMF to

the Hub:

– Ethernet cable, RJ–45 to RJ–45 (be sure that the LAN card is set for

either AUTO or to use the RJ–45 only).

– Coax cable between LAN card and Hub. (Use a “T” on the hub and

connect a cable between the other end of the “T” and the BTS LAN
connection).

Hub to BTS – Use BNC “T” connector on the hub. [If your hub doesn’t
have BNC ports, use a BNC to UTP adapter.]

Cable Calibration

Follow the directions in the WinLMF program to calibrate cables.

– Calibrate the short cable (see Figure 6-12 or Figure 6-13) and two

10 dB pads to get a base line and then calibrate the TX and RX
setup. Since you need at least 40 dB of loss when doing the FER
test, the setup for RX is the same as TX.

15 Move the cursor to the Amplitude field and click on the Amplitude value.
16

Increase the Amplitude value until the power meter reads 0 dBm ±0.2 dB.

NOTE

The Amplitude value can be increased coarsely until 0 dBM is reached; then fine tune the amplitude

by adjusting the Increment Set to 0.1 dBm and targeting in on 0 dBm.

17

Disconnect the power sensor from the RF OUT ONLY port of the PCS Interface.

NOTE

The Power Meter sensor’s lower limit is –30 dBm. Thus, only components having losses ≤30 dB

should be measured using this method. For further accuracy, always re-zero the power meter

before connecting the power sensor to the component being calibrated. After connecting the

power sensor to the component, record the calibrated loss immediately.

18 Disconnect all components in the test setup and calibrate each one separately by connecting each

component, one-at-a-time, between the RF OUT ONLY PORT and the power sensor. Record the

calibrated loss value displayed on the power meter.

S Example: (A) Test Cable(s) = –1.4 dB

(B) 20 dB Attenuator = –20.1 dB
(B) Directional Coupler = –29.8 dB

19 After all components are calibrated, reassemble all components together and calculate the total test

setup loss by adding up all the individual losses:

S Example: Total test setup loss = –1.4 –29.8 –20.1 = –51.3 dB.

This calculated value will be used in the next series of tests.

Downloading ROM Code

Exception Procedure –
Downloading ROM Code

This procedure is not part of a normal optimization.
Perform this procedure only on an exception basis when no alternative

exists to load a BTS device with the correct version of ROM code.

C

NOTE

One GLI must be INS_ACT (bright green) before ROM
code can be downloaded to non–GLI devices.

CAUTION

The correct ROM and RAM codes for the software release
used on the BSS must be loaded into BTS devices. To
identify the correct device ROM and RAM code loads for
the software release being used on the BSS, refer to the
Version Matrix section of the SCt CDMA Release Notes
(supplied on the tapes or CD–ROMs containing the BSS
software).

All devices in a BTS must be loaded with the ROM and
RAM code specified for the software release used on the
BSS before any optimization or ATP procedures can be
performed.

If a replacement device is loaded with ROM code which is
not compatible with the BSS software release being used,
the device ROM code can be changed using the LMF
before performing the BTS optimization and ATPs. A

device loaded with later release ROM code can not be
converted back to a previous release ROM code in the field
without Motorola assistance

If it is necessary to download ROM code to a device from the LMF, the
procedure in Table C-1 includes steps for both ROM and RAM code
download using the LMF.

Prerequisites

Prior to performing this procedure, ensure the correct ROM and RAM
code files exist in the LMF computer’s applicable <x>:\<lmf home
directory>\cdma\loads\<codeload#>\code folder for each of the devices
to be loaded.

Downloading ROM Code – continued

CAUTION

The Release level of the ROM code to be downloaded
must be the one specified for the software release installed
in the BSS. The release level of the ROM code resident in
the other devices in the BTS must also be correct for the
BSS software release being used. ROM code must not be
downloaded to a frame loaded with code for a BSS
software release with which it is not compatible.

This procedure should only be used to upgrade
replacement devices for a BTS. It should NOT be used to

upgrade all devices in a BTS. If a BTS is to be upgraded
from R15.x to R16.0, the upgrade should be done by the
OMC–R using the DownLoad Manager.
