NOTE

1. Figure 1-17 identifies which BBXs are used for Omni and
2-Sector configurations.

2. The fourth PA quadrant (quadrant D) is populated with
CLPAs only when the 4x4 ETM is used.

3. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF FRAMES: The physical
appearance of the frame, especially the location of the
MCM, Power Amplifier cage, and Power
Distribution/Combiner cage, and the particular I/O plate
used, may differ on frames converted from early version
SC4812T BTSs. Functionally however, and for the purpose
of optimization and acceptance testing, those frames are
identical

4. For an SC4812T BTS frame which has been converted to
multicarrier capability, a fourth three–sector carrier, using
BBX–10 through BBX–12, is supported in R16.4 and later
software releases. In a converted multicarrier frame, PA slot
4 in all PA quadrants should never be populated. (see
Figure 1-21).

Overview

Introduction

Cell Site Types

CDF or NEC

This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
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 with a maximum of 4 carriers, 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 1X SC 4812T-MC BTS Hardware Installation manual.

The Configuration Data File (CDF) (circuit BTS) or Network Element
Configuration (NEC) files (packet BTS) 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 power amplifier assignments are some of the
equipage data included in the CDF or NEC files.

CAUTION

2

Site Equipage Verification

Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files are used for

the BTS. These should be the CDF or NEC files that are
provided for the BTS by the OMC–R. Failure to use the
correct CDF or NEC files can cause system errors. Failure

to use the correct CDF or NEC 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.

CAUTION

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.

Pre–Power Up Tests

Objective

Test Equipment

Cabling Inspection

This procedure checks for any electrical short circuits and verifies the
operation and tolerances of the cellsite and BTS power supply units prior
to applying power for the first time.

The following test equipment is required to complete the pre–power–up
tests:

S Digital Multimeter (DMM)

CAUTION

Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling the any circuit card/module to prevent
damage by ESD.

Using the site-specific documentation generated by Motorola Systems
Engineering, verify that the following cable systems are properly
connected:

S Receive RF cabling – up to 12 RX cables

2

S Transmit RF cabling – up to six TX cables

S GPS

DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame)

Before applying any power to the BTS frame, follow the procedure in
Table 2-2 while referring to Figure 2-3 to verify there are no shorts in the
BTS frame DC distribution system.

Table 2-2: DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame)

Step Action

1 Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying power to the frame are OFF or disabled.

2 On each frame:

S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but

leave them in their associated slots.

S Set C–CCP shelf breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (labeled

C–CCP 1, 2, 3) located on the power distribution panel.

S Set LPA breakers to the OFF position by pulling out the LPA breakers (8 breakers, labeled 1A–1B

through 4C–4D) located on the power distribution panel.

Initial Power Up Tests & Procedures

Power-up Procedures

Potentially lethal voltage and current levels are routed to
the BTS equipment. This test must be performed with a
second person present, acting in a safety role. Remove all
rings, jewelry, and wrist watches prior to beginning this
test.

DC Input Power

In the tests to follow, power will first be verified at the input to each
BTS frame. After power is verified, cards and modules within the frame
itself will be powered up and verified one at a time.

Before applying any power, verify the correct power feed and return
cables are connected between the power supply breakers and the power
connectors at the top of each BTS frame. Verify correct cable position
referring to Figure 2-3.

WARNING

NOTE

For positive power applications (+27 V):

S The positive power cable is red.
S The negative power cable is black.

For negative power applications (–48 V):

S The negative power cable is red or blue.
S The positive power cable (ground) is black.

Motorola recommends that the DC input power cable used to connect the
frame to the main DC power source conforms to the guidelines outlined
in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3: DC Input Power Cable Guidelines

Common Power Supply
Verification

2

Table 2-4: Common Power Supply Verification

Step Action

1 Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying the frame are OFF or disabled.

The procedure in Table 2-4 must be performed on any BTS frame
connected to a common power supply at the site after the common power

supply has been installed and verified per the power supply OEM
suggested procedures.

Perform the following steps to verify the power input is within
specification before powering up the individual cards/modules with the
frames themselves.

CAUTION

While handling any circuit card/module, always wear a
conductive, high impedance wrist strap 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.

2 On each frame:

S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but

leave them in their associated slots.

S Set breakers to the OFF position by pulling out C–CCP and LPA breakers (see Figure 2-3 for

breaker panel layout if required).

– C–CCP shelf breakers are labeled CCCP–1, 2, 3.

– LPA breakers are labeled 1A–1B through 4C–4D.

Introduction to Optimization & 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, and
verifying the customer defined alarms and relay contacts are functioning
properly.

NOTE

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

3

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.

NOTE

GLIs 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, and MCC. 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 or NEC files. The CDF or NEC files 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 (multicarrier uses BBX–1X)

– GLI (other than MGLI–1)

– MCC (may be MCC–8E, MCC24, or MCC–1X)

4. Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.

5. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):

– Secondary CSM

– Primary CSM

– All MCCs

6. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.

7. Select the test equipment.

Introduction to Optimization & Calibration – continued

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.

NOTE

All PAs must be INS during any TX testing.

3

Cell Site Types

Configuration Files

9. If the TX calibration fails, repeat the optimization for any failed
paths.

10. If the TX calibration fails again, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the optimization for the failed path.

11. If the TX calibration and audit portion of the 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.

Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.

NOTE

For more information on the differences in site types, refer
to the applicable BTS Hardware Installation manual.

The Configuration Data File (CDF) and the Network Element
Configuration (NEC) files contain information that defines the BTS and
data used to download files to the devices. The BTS CDF (
and CBSC CDF (cbsc–#.cdf) files are used by circuit BTSs. The NEC
Base (NECB –

NECJ*bts#.xml) files are used by packet BTSs. CDF or NEC files

must be placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used
to log into that BTS. CDF and NEC 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.

NECB*bts#.xml) and NEC Journaling (NECJ –

bts–#.cdf)

The CDF and NEC files include the following information:

S Download instructions and protocol
S Site specific equipage information
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.

3-2 1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP 5/21/04

Introduction to Optimization & Calibration – continued

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 the LMF Help function on–line documentation for
additional information on the layout of the LMF directory
structure (including CDF or NEC file locations and
formats).

3

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.

CAUTION

Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct

bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files for the BTS must be obtained from

the OMC–R and put in a bts–# folder in the LMF. Failure
to use the correct CDF or NEC files can cause improper or
unpredictable BTS operation. Failure to use the correct

CDF or NEC files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site
can shut down the site.

The CDF or NEC files are normally obtained from the OMC–R 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–line documentation for the procedure.

Site Equipage Verification

If it has not already done, use an editor to view the CDF or NEC files,
and review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage
data in the CDF or NEC files matches the actual site hardware using a
CDF or NEC file conversion table.

CAUTION

Use extreme care not to make any changes to the CDF or
NEC file content while viewing the file. Changes to the
CDF or NEC file can cause the site to operate unreliably or
render it incapable of operation.

3

CAUTION

Always wear an approved anti–static 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 container in which it was shipped.

Preparing the LMF

Overview

Overview of Packet BTS files

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:

S LMF Program on CD ROM (see page NO TAG for current supported

version of LMF)

S CDF or NEC files for each supported BTS (on diskette or available

from the CBSC)

S CBSC CDF file for each supported circuit BTS (on diskette or

available from the CBSC)

The following section provides information and instructions for
installing and updating the LMF software and files.

3

R16.0 and earlier software releases used the CDF configuration file for
each BTS and CBSC supported by the LMF. In a packet BTS operating
with Software Release 16.1 or later, the CDF is replaced by the NEC
files. There are two NEC files. These are:

S NEC Base (NECB) file
S NEC Journal (NECJ) file

The NECB contains the baseline configuration information 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 reaches 80% of its maximum size, the NECB is re–generated
by the OMC–R, and all updates from the NECJ file are rolled into it.

The NEC files play much more extensive role than the previously–used
CDF files.

Additional important, LMF–related facts about the the NEC files are:

S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in eXtensible Markup Language

(XML) format.

S NECB contains all the up-to-date static configuration information and

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 or text processor, but the XML tags will also be seen when
using these types of applications.

S These files will be created by OMC–R from MIB and reflect the BTS

provisioning.

S These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on

the system for each BTS.

5/21/04 1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP 3-5

DRAFT

Preparing the LMF – continued

S Unlike the CDF file, the NEC files will reside on both OMC–R and

GLI3s operating in packet mode. The NEC files will be synchronized
periodically between the OMC–R and GLI3s in each BTS.

S Both the NECB and NECJ files 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

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files, which are copies of the

3

NEC files.

S A GLI3 operating in packet mode will need the NECB and NECJ files

for site initialization.

S The scope of the NEC files has grown much broader than that of the

CDF and has much more BTS–centric information. This is principally
because the role of the GLI card has expanded significantly with the
introduction of the GLI3 card and packet backhaul.

CAUTION

LMF File Structure Overview

bts–# folders (A separate folder is required

for each BTS where bts–# is the unique BTS
number; for example, bts–163.)

Never use a generic NEC file. The specific, site–unique
information for the BTS must be included in the NEC file for the
site to operate properly.

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–# folders, these
folders are created as part of the the LMF installation. Refer to the
CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide for a complete description of the folder
structure.

required for each different version; for
example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5.)

LMF Home Directory

NOTE

The “loads” folder and all the folders below it are not
available from the LMF for Software Release R2.16.4.1.
These folders may be present as as a legacy from previous
software versions or downloaded from the CBSC/OMC–R.

Any existing code in the directory is not affected by an SR

16.1 installation.

3

The user will need to manually add the directories to a
newly installed LMF when they add the code loads to be
downloaded.

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:

Filename Conventions and
Directory Location

<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.

NEC Files

The naming conventions for the NECB and NECJ files are:

NECB*bts#.xml
NECJ*bts#.xmlNECJ*bts#.xml

Where:

* = any characters can be substituted
# = the actual integer BTS number; for example,

NECB–2.16.4.1.40–bts480.xml

The NECB and its corresponding NECJ must have the exact same name,
except for the “B” and “J” after the initial NEC characters.

The NECB and the NECJ must reside in the
<LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts–# directory for the BTS to which they apply.

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 Object
List File (OLF) file that was used pre–Packet.

5/21/04 1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP 3-7

DRAFT

Preparing the LMF – continued

The naming convention for the LIF is:

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).

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

Any time U/WIN is installed, the LMF application software
must also be installed. This is because the LMF application
installation modifies some of the files that are installed during
the U/Win installation. These modifications are necessary for
proper LMF operation. Installing U/Win over–writes these
modifications.

There are multiple binary image packages for installation on the
CD–ROM. When prompted, choose the load that corresponds to
the software release currently installed in the network. Perform
the Device Images installation after the LMF installation.

If applicable, a separate CD ROM of BTS Binaries may be
available for binary updates.

Follow the procedure in Table 3-1 to install the LMF application
program using the LMF CD ROM.

Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF computer to execute
optimization/ATP procedures, the correct
or NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml 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 or NEC files on the
LMF computer.

bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf

3

NOTE

NOTE

– If the LMF has ftp capability, the ftp method can be used to

copy the CDF files from the CBSC.

– On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can be

used in place of the cp command (for example,
unix2dos bts–248.cdf bts–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.

When copying CDF or NEC files, comply with the following to
prevent BTS login problems with the LMF:

– The numbers used in the

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml filenames must

correspond to the locally assigned numbers for each BTS
and its controlling CBSC.

– The generic

works with locally numbered circuit BTS CDF files. Using
this file will not provide a valid optimization unless the
generic file is edited to replace default parameters (for
example, channel numbers and corresponding set power
out) with the operational parameters used locally.

The procedure in Table 3-2 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF or
NEC files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For further
information, refer to the LMF Help function on line documentation.

AT THE CBSC:

1 Login to the CBSC workstation.

2 Insert a DOS formatted diskette in the workstation drive.

3 Type eject –q and press the <Enter> key.

4 Type mount and press the <Enter> key.

NOTE

S Look for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
S If the eject command was previously entered, floppy/no_name will be appended with a

5 Change to the directory containing the file by typing cd <directory name> (ex. cd

bts–248) and pressing <Enter>.

6 Type ls <Enter> to display the list of files in the directory.

7 With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files on the diskette by entering the following command:

unix2dos <source filename> /floppy/no_name/<target filename>
For example, unix2dos bts–248.cdf
no_name/bts–248.cdf.

or NECB–2.16.4.41–bts248.xml /floppy/

NOTE

S 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
or NEC files on the LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended.

S 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 (for example,
cp bts–248.cdf cbsc–6.cdf /floppy/no_name).

8 Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# that must be supported by the LMF.

Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (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.

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 procedure in Table 3-3 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a WIndows desktop shortcut for it.

Span Lines – Interface & Isolation

T1/E1 Span Interface

Each frame is equipped with one Site I/O and two Span I/O boards. The
Span I/O J1 connector provides connection for 25 wire pairs. A GLI card
can support up to six spans. In SC4812T BTS frames, spans A, C, and E
terminate on the Span “A” I/O; and spans B, D, and F terminate on the
Span “B” I/O.

NOTE

At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the BTS and
place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT remove the 50–pin
TELCO cable connected to the BTS frame site I/O board
J1 connector until the OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS!

3

NOTE

Span Lines will interface to the BTS through the Span I/O
cards only in circuit mode with either circuit or split
backhaul.

Before connecting the LMF to the frame LAN, the OMC–R must disable
the BTS and place it OOS to allow the LMF to control the CDMA BTS.
This prevents the OMC–R from inadvertently sending control
information to the BTS during LMF–controlled tests. Refer toFigure 3-2
and Figure 3-3 as required.

Using the LMF

Basic LMF Operation

LMF Coverage in This Publication – There are LMF application
programs to support maintenance of both CDMA and SAS BTSs. All
references to the LMF in this publication are for the CDMA application
program.

Operating Environments – The LMF application program allows the
user to work in the two following operating environments which are
accessed using the specified desktop icons:

S Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
S Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon

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 – Basic operation of the LMF in either environment
includes performing the following:

S Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
S Enabling devices
S Disabling devices
S Resetting devices
S Obtaining device status

The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:

S Sorting a status report window

3

For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF On-Line Help, Software Release 2.16.4.x .

NOTE

Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual
are performed using the GUI environment.

Online Help – Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by
clicking on Help from the menu bar.

The LMF Display and the BTS

BTS Display – When the LMF is logged into a BTS, a frame tab is
displayed for each BTS frames. The frame tab will be labeled with
“CDMA” and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame number (for
example, BTS–812–1 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If there is only one frame
for the BTS, there will only be one tab.

DRAFT

Using the LMF – continued

CDF or NEC file Requirements – For the LMF to recognize the
devices installed in the BTS, a BTS CDF or NEC files which include
equipage information for all the devices in the BTS must be located in
the applicable <x>:\<lmf home directory>\cdma\bts–# folder. To
provide the necessary channel assignment data for circuit BTS operation,
a CBSC CDF file which includes channel data for all BTS RFMFs is
also required in the folder.

3

Graphical User Interface
Overview

RFDS Display – If an RFDS is included in the CDF or NEC files, an
RFDS tab labeled with “RFDS,” a dash and the BTS number–frame

number combination (for example, RFDS–812–1) will be displayed.

The LMF uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which supports the
following functions:

S Selecting a device or devices.
S Selecting an action to apply to selected device(s).
S Status report window displaying progress of actions taking place and

related information.

S Notification when an action is complete and related information such

as indication of success or failure

S An OK button to close the status report window.

Understanding GUI Operation

The following screen captures are provided to help understand how the
GUI operates:

– Figure 3-4 shows the differences between packet and circuit BTS

representations on the LMF login screen. If there is a packet
configuration file (NEC) for the BTS, the “(P)” is added as a suffix
to the BTS number.

– Figure 3-5 shows the Self-Managed Network Elements (NE) state

of a packet–mode BTS (SC4812T shown). An “X” is displayed on
the front of each card that is under Self–Managed NE control by the
GLI3 card.

– Figure 3-6 shows three of the available packet mode commands.

Normally the GLI3 has Self-Managed NE control of all cards as
shown inFigure 3-6 identified with an “X”. In that state, the LMF
may only status a card. In order to download code or test a card, the
LMF must request Self-Managed NE control of the card by using
the dropdown menu shown. The LMF also uses this menu to release
control of the card back to the GLI3. The GLI3 will also assume
control of the cards after the LMF logs out of the BTS. The packet
mode GLI3 normally is loaded with a tape release and NECB and
NECJ files which point to a tape release stored on the GLI3. When
the GLI3 has control of a card it will maintain that card with the
code on that tape release.

Command Line Interface
Overview

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.

Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only one
handler can be running at one time. Due to architectural limitations, the
GUI must be started before the CLI if it is desired that 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.

CLI Format Conventions

Logging into a BTS

The CLI command can be broken down in the following way:

S verb

S device including device identifier parameters

S switch

S option parameters consisting of:

– keywords

– equals signs (=) between the keywords and the parameter values

– parameter values

Spaces are required between the verb, device, switch, and option
parameters. A hyphen is required between the device and its identifiers.
Following is an example of a CLI command.

measure bbx–<bts_id>–<bbx_id> rssi channel=6 sector=5

Refer to the LMF CDMA CLI Reference, Software Release 2.16.4.x
manual for a complete explanation of the CLI commands and their use.

Logging into a BTS establishes a communications link between the BTS
and the LMF. An LMF session can be logged into only one BTS at a
time.

Download the BTS

Overview

Before a BTS can operate, each equipped device must contain device
initialization (ROM) code. ROM code is loaded in all devices during
manufacture or factory repair. Device application (RAM) code and data
must be downloaded to each equipped device by the user before the BTS
can be made fully functional for the site where it is installed.

ROM Code

RAM Code

3

Downloading ROM code to BTS devices from the LMF is NOT routine
maintenance nor a normal part of the optimization process. It is only

done in unusual situations where the resident ROM code in the device
does not match the release level of the site operating software AND the
CBSC cannot communicate with the BTS to perform the download. If
ROM code must be downloaded, refer to Appendix H.

Before ROM code can be downloaded from the LMF, the correct ROM
code file for each device to be loaded must exist on the LMF computer.
ROM code must be manually selected for download.

NOTE

The ROM code file is not available for GLI3s. GLI3s are
ROM code loaded at the factory.

Before RAM code can be downloaded from the CDMA LMF, the correct
RAM code file for each device must exist on the LMF computer. RAM
code can be automatically or manually selected depending on the Device
menu item chosen and where the RAM code file for the device is stored
in the CDMA LMF file structure. The RAM code file is selected
automatically if the file is in the \lmf\cdma\loads\n.n.n.n\code folder
(where n.n.n.n is the version number of the download code). The RAM
code file in the code folder must have the correct hardware bin number.

RAM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being downloaded changes to OOS-ROM
(blue). When the download is completed successfully, the device
changes to OOS-RAM (yellow). When code is downloaded to an MGLI,
the LMF automatically also downloads data, and then enables the MGLI.
When enabled, the MGLI changes to INS (green).

For non–MGLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is
downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS–RAM
(yellow).

Prior to downloading a device, a code file must exist. The code file is
selected automatically if the code file is in the /lmf/cdma/n.n.n.n/code
folder (where n.n.n.n is the version number of the download code that
matches the “NextLoad” parameter in the CDF or NEC files). The code
file in the code folder must have the correct hardware bin number. Code

Verify GLI ROM Code Loads

Devices should not be loaded with a RAM code version which is not
compatible with the ROM code with which they are loaded. Before
downloading RAM code and data to the processor cards, follow the
procedure in Table 3-12 to verify the GLI devices are loaded with the
correct ROM code for the software release used by the BSS.

Prerequisite

Identify the correct GLI ROM code load for the software release being
used on the BSS by referring to the Version Matrix section of the SCt
CDMA Release Notes (supplied on the tapes or CD–ROMs containing
the BSS software).

NOTE

The MGLI must be successfully downloaded with code and
data, and put INS before downloading any other device.
The download code process for an MGLI automatically
downloads data and enables the MGLI before downloading
other devices. The other devices can be downloaded in any
order.

NOTE

CSMs are code loaded at the factory. This data is retained
in EEPROM. The download code procedure is required in
the event it becomes necessary to code load CSMs with
updated software versions. Use the status function to
determine the current code load versions.

The CSM(s) to be enabled must have been downloaded
with code (Yellow, OOS–RAM) and data.

Each BTS CSM system features two CSM boards per site. In a typical
operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked Loop
(DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated by either an
on–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver (R–GPS).
The CSM2 card is required when using the R–GPS. The GPS receiver
(mounted on CSM–1) is the primary timing reference and synchronizes
the entire cellular system. CSM–2 provides redundancy but does not
have a GPS receiver.

The BTS may be equipped with a remote GPS, LORAN–C, HSO 10
MHz Rubidium source, or HSOX for expansion frames, which the CSM
can use as a secondary timing reference. In all cases, the CSM monitors
and determines what reference to use at a given time.

Follow the procedure in Table 3-16 to enable the CSMs.

change in the device(s) status. Click OK to close the status window.

– FAIL may be shown in the status table for enable action. If

in the Description field, the CSM changes to the enabled state after phase lock is achieved.
CSM–1 houses the GPS receiver. The enable sequence can take up to one hour to complete.

– The GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained and

operated by the United States Department of Defense (D.O.D.). The D.O.D. periodically
alters satellite orbits; therefore, satellite trajectories are subject to change. A GPS receiver that
is INS contains an “almanac” that is updated periodically to take these changes into account.

– If an installed GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to

one hour for the GPS receiver “almanac” to be updated.

– Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3-D

position fix for a minimum of 45 seconds before the CSM will come in-service. (In some
cases, the GPS receiver needs to track only one satellite, depending on accuracy mode set
during the data load.)

– If equipped with two CSMs, the LMF should display CSM-1 as bright GREEN (INS–ACT)

and CSM–2 as dark green (INS–STB). After the CSMs have been successfully enabled, the
PWR/ALM LEDs are steady green (alternating green/red indicates the card is in an alarm
state).

CSM System Time/GPS and HSO Verification

CSM & HSO Background

The primary function of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM)
boards (slots 1 and 2) is to maintain CDMA system time. The CSM in
slot 1 is the primary timing source while slot 2 provides redundancy. The
CSM2 card (CSM second generation) is required when using the remote
GPS receiver (R–GPS). R–GPS uses a GPS receiver in the antenna head
that has a digital output to the CSM2 card. CSM2 can have a daughter
card as a local GPS receiver to support an RF–GPS signal.

The CSM2 switches between the primary and redundant units (slots 1
and 2) upon failure or command. CDMA Clock Distribution
Cards (CCDs) buffer and distribute even–second reference and 19.6608
MHz clocks. CCD–1 is married to CSM–1 and CCD–2 is married to
CSM 2. A failure on CSM–1 or CCD–1 cause the system to switch to
redundant CSM–2 and CCD–2.

In a typical operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked
Loop (DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated by
either an on–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver
(R–GPS). The CSM2 card is required when using the R–GPS. DPLL
circuits employed by the CSM provide switching between the primary
and redundant unit upon request. Synchronization between the primary
and redundant CSM cards, as well as the HSO back–up source, provides
excellent reliability and performance.

3

Front Panel LEDs

Each CSM board features an ovenized, crystal oscillator that provides

19.6608 MHz clock, even second tick reference, and 3 MHz sinewave

reference, referenced to the selected synchronization source (GPS,
Receiver, or High Stability Oscillator (HSO), T1 Span, or external
reference oscillator sources). The 3 MHz signals are also routed to the
RDM EXP 1A & 1B connectors on the top interconnect panel for
distribution to co–located frames at the site.

Fault management has the capability of switching between the GPS
synchronization source and the HSO backup source in the event of a
GPS receiver failure on CSM–1. During normal operation, the CSM–1
board selects GPS as the primary source (see Table 3-20). The source
selection can also be overridden via the LMF or by the system software.

All boards are mounted in the C–CCP shelf at the top of the BTS frame.
Figure 1-14 illustrates the location of the boards in the BTS frame.

The status of the LEDs on the CSM boards are as follows:

S Steady Green – Master CSM locked to GPS (INS).
S Rapidly Flashing Green – Standby CSM locked to GPS (STBY).
S Flashing Green/Rapidly Flashing Red – CSM OOS_RAM attempting

to lock on GPS signal.

S Rapidly Flashing Green and Red – Alarm condition exists. Trouble

Notifications (TNs) are currently being reported to the GLI.

CSM System Time/GPS and HSO Verification – continued

High Stability Oscillator

CSM and HSO – The CSM handles the overall configuration and status
monitoring functions of the HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the HSO
is capable of maintaining synchronization initially established by the
GPS reference signal.

HSO – The HSO is a high stability 10 MHz oscillator with the necessary

3

interface to the CSMs. The HSO is typically installed in those
geographical areas not covered by the LORAN–C system. Since the
HSO is a free–standing oscillator, system time can only be maintained
for 24 hours after 24 hours of GPS lock.

Upgrades and Expansions: HSO2/HSOX

HSO2 (second generation cards) both export a timing signal to the
expansion or logical BTS frames. The associated expansion or logical
frames require an HSO–expansion (HSOX). The HSOX accepts input
from the starter frame and interfaces with the CSM cards in the
expansion frame. HSO, HSO2, and HSOX use the same source code in
source selection (see Table 3-19).

CSM Frequency Verification

NOTE

Allow the base site and test equipment to warm up for
60 minutes after any interruption in oscillator power. CSM

board warm-up allows the oscillator oven temperature and
oscillator frequency to stabilize prior to test. Test
equipment warm-up allows the Rubidium standard
timebase to stabilize in frequency before any measurements
are made.

The objective of this procedure is the initial verification of the CSM
boards before performing the RF path verification tests. Parts of this
procedure will be repeated for final verification after the overall
optimization has been completed.

Null Modem Cable

A null modem cable is required. It is connected between the LMF
COM1 port and the RS232–GPIB Interface box. Figure 3-11 shows the

NOTE

If any of the above mentioned areas fail, verify that:

– If Initial position accuracy is “estimated”

visible (1 satellite must be tracked and visible if actual lat, log, and height data for this site has
been entered into CDF or NEC files).

– If Initial position accuracy is “surveyed”,

assumed to be accurate. GPS will not automatically survey and update its position.

– The GPS antenna is not obstructed or misaligned.

– GPS antenna connector center conductor measures approximately +5 Vdc with respect to the

shield.

– There is no more than 4.5 dB of loss between the GPS antenna OSX connector and the BTS frame

HSO Initialization/Verification

The HSO module is a full–size card that resides in the C–CCP Shelf.
This completely self contained high stability 10 MHz oscillator
interfaces with the CSM via a serial communications link. The CSM
handles the overall configuration and status monitoring functions of the
HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the HSO is capable of maintaining
synchronization initially established by the GPS reference signal for a
limited time.

The HSO is typically installed in those geographical areas not covered
by the LORAN–C system and provides the following major functions:

S Reference oscillator temperature and phase lock monitor circuitry

S Generates a highly stable 10 MHz sine wave.

S Reference divider circuitry converts 10 MHz sine wave to 10 MHz

TTL signal, which is divided to provide a 1 PPS strobe to the CSM.

Prerequisites

S The LMF is not logged into the BTS.

S The COM1 port is connected to the MMI port of the primary CSM via

a null modem board.

S The primary CSM and the HSO (if equipped) have warmed up for 15

minutes.

If the BTS is equipped with an HSO, follow the procedure in Table 3-21
to configure the HSO.

CSM System Time/GPS and HSO Verification – continued

Table 3-21: HSO Initialization/Verification

Step Action

1 At the BTS, slide the HSO card into the cage.

NOTE

The LED on the HSO should light red for no longer than 15-minutes, then switch to green. The CSM
must be locked to GPS.

2 On the LMF at the CSM> prompt, enter sources <cr>.

– Observe the following typical response for systems equipped with HSO:

Num Source Name Type TO Good Status Last Phase Target Phase Valid
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

0 Local GPS Primary 4 Yes Good 0 0 Yes
1 HSO Backup 4 Yes N/A xxxxxxx –69532 Yes
2 Not used

Current reference source number: 0

When the CSM is locked to GPS, verify that the HSO “Good” field is Yes and the “Valid” field is Yes.

3 If source “1” is not configured as HSO, enter at the CSM> prompt: ss 1 12 <cr>

Check for Good in the Status field.

4 At the CSM> prompt, enter sources <cr>.

Verify the HSO valid field is Yes. If not, repeat this step until the “Valid” status of Yes is returned. The
HSO should be valid within one (1) minute, assuming the DPLL is locked and the HSO Rubidium
oscillator is fully warmed.

Test Equipment GPIB Address
Settings

Supported Test Equipment

All test equipment is controlled by the LMF through an IEEE–488/GPIB
bus. To communicate on the bus, each piece of test equipment must have
a GPIB address set which the LMF will recognize. The standard address
settings used by the LMF for the various types of test equipment items
are as follows:

S Signal generator address: 1
S Power meter address: 13
S Communications system analyzer: 18
S Signal generator address: 19

Using the procedures included in the Setting GPIB Addresses section of
Appendix F, verify and, if necessary, change the GPIB address of each
piece of test equipment used to match the above

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the test equipment, all TX test
connections must be through the directional coupler and
in-line attenuator as shown in the test setup illustrations.

Equipment Warm-up

NOTE

Warm-up BTS equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes
prior to performing the BTS optimization procedure. This
assures BTS site stability and contributes to optimization
accuracy. (Time spent running initial power-up,
hardware/firmware audit, and BTS download counts as

3

warm-up time.)

WARNING

Before installing any test equipment directly to any BTS
TX OUT connector, verify there are NO CDMA BBX
channels keyed. At active sites, have the OMC-R/CBSC
place the antenna (sector) assigned to the PA under test
OOS. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury
and/or equipment damage.

Test Set Calibration

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.

3

NOTE

Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipment

after it has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for a
minimum of 60 minutes.

Calibration Procedures
Included

Automatic

Procedures included in this section use the LMF automated calibration
routine to determine path losses of the supported communications
analyzer, power meter, associated test cables, adapters, and (if used)
antenna switch that make up the overall calibrated test equipment set.
After calibration, the gain/loss offset values are stored in a test
measurement offset file on the LMF computer.

Manual

Agilent E4406A Transmitter Tester – The E4406A does not support
the power level zeroing calibration performed by the LMF. If this
instrument is to be used for Bay Level Offset calibration and calibration
is attempted with the LMF Calibrate Test Equipment function, the
LMF will return a status window failure message stating that zeroing
power is not supported by the E4406A. Refer to the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F for instructions on using the

3

instrument’s self–alignment (calibration) function prior to performing
Bay Level Offset calibration.

Power Meters – Manual power meter calibration procedures to be
performed prior to automated calibration are included in the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F.

Cable Calibration – Manual cable calibration procedures using the HP
8921A and Advantest R3465 communications system analyzers are
provided in the Manual Cable Calibration section of Appendix F, if
needed.

GPIB Addresses

IP Addresses

Selecting Test Equipment
Other Than Agilent E7495A

GPIB addresses can range from 1 through 30. The LMF will accept any
address in that range, but the numbers entered in the LMF Options
window GPIB address box must match the addresses of the test
equipment. Motorola recommends using 1 for a CDMA signal generator,
13 for a power meter, and 18 for a communications system analyzer. To
verify and, if necessary, change the GPIB addresses of the test
equipment, refer to the Setting GPIB Addresses section of Appendix F.

The E7495A communications test set uses IP over Ethernet connections
for communication rather than the GPIB. For the Agilent E7495A, set
the IP address and complete initial setup as described in Appendix F,
Table F-1.

Open the LMF Options window from the Tools > Options menu list to
select test equipment automatically (using the autodetect feature) or
manually.

Serial Connection and Network Connection tabs are provided in the
LMF Options window to specify the test equipment connection method.

The Serial Connection tab is used when the test equipment items are
connected directly to the LMF computer through a GPIB box (normal
setup). The Network Connection tab is used when the test equipment is
to be connected remotely through a network connection.

measure the loss of each cable configuration (TX cable configuration and
RX cable configuration). The cable calibration consists of the following:

S Measuring the loss of a short cable – This is required to compensate

for any measurement error of the analyzer. The short cable (used only
for the calibration process) is used in series with both the TX and RX
cable configuration when measuring. The measured loss of the short
cable is deducted from the measured loss of the TX and RX cable
configuration to determine the actual loss of the TX and RX cable

3

configurations. The result is then adjusted out of both the TX and RX
measurements to compensate for the measured loss.

S Measuring the short cable plus the RX cable configuration loss –

The RX cable configuration normally consists only of a coax cable
with type-N connectors that is long enough to reach from the BTS RX
port of the test equipment.

S Measuring the short cable plus the TX cable configuration loss –

The TX cable configuration normally consists of two coax cables with
type-N connectors and a directional coupler, a load, and an additional
attenuator (if required by the specified BTS). The total loss of the path
loss of the TX cable configuration must be as required for the BTS
(normally 30 or 50 dB).

Bay Level Offset Calibration

Introduction

Bay Level Offset (BLO) calibration is the central activity of the
optimization process. BLO calibration compensates for normal
equipment variations within the BTS RF paths and assures the correct
transmit power is available at the BTS antenna connectors to meet site
performance requirements.

3

RF Path Bay Level Offset
Calibration

Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBX
slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database calibration
table in the LMF. The BLOs are subsequently downloaded to each BBX.

For starter frames, each receive path starts at a BTS RX antenna port and
terminates at a backplane BBX slot. Each transmit path starts at a BBX
backplane slot, travels through the Power Amplifier (PA), and terminates
at a BTS TX antenna port.

For expansion frames each receive path starts at the BTS RX port of the
cell site starter frame, travels through the frame-to-frame expansion
cable, and terminates at a backplane BBX slot of the expansion frame.
The transmit path starts at a BBX backplane slot of the expansion frame,
travels though the PA, and terminates at a BTS TX antenna port of the
same expansion frame.

Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBX
slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database. Each
transmit path starts at a C–CCP shelf backplane BBX slot, travels
through the PA, and ends at a BTS TX antenna port. When the TX path
calibration is performed, the RX path BLO is automatically set to the
default value.

At omni sites, BBX slots 1 and 13 (redundant) are tested. At sector sites,
BBX slots 1 through 12, and 13 (redundant) are tested. Only those slots
(sectors) actually equipped in the current CDF or NEC file are tested,
regardless of physical BBX board installation in the slot.

When to Calibrate BLOs

Calibration of BLOs is required:

S After initial BTS installation
S Once each year
S After replacing any of the following components or associated

interconnecting RF cabling:

– BBX board

– C–CCP shelf

– MCIO card

– MCIO to Power Amplifier backplane RF cable

– Parallel Linear Amplifier Combiner

of each RF path is verified during calibration. The external test
equipment is used to validate/calibrate the TX paths of the BTS.

WARNING

Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX
OUT connector you must first verify that there are no

CDMA channels keyed. Have the OMC–R place the sector
assigned to the PA under test OOS. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.

CAUTION

Always wear an approved anti–static wrist strap while
handling any circuit card/module. If this is not done, there
is a high probability that the card/module could be
damaged by ESD.

NOTE

At new site installations, to facilitate the complete test of
each CCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populated
with BBX boards), move BBX boards from shelves
currently not under test and install them into the empty
BBX slots of the shelf currently being tested to insure that
all BBX TX paths are tested.

This procedure can be bypassed on operational sites that
are due for periodic optimization.

Prior to testing, view the CDF file to verify the correct
BBX slots are equipped. Edit the file as required to include
BBX slots not currently equipped (per Systems
Engineering documentation).
