Automated Acceptance Test Procedure
Introduction
The Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) allow Cellular Field Engineers
(CFEs) to run automated Acceptance Tests on all BTS Subsystem
Devices equipped in the CDF using the LMF and the Test Equipment it
supports.
The CFE can choose to save the results of ATP Tests to a report file from
which ATP Reports are generated for later printing. See the Generatingan ATP Report section in this chapter.
Because Test Equipment Functions during Acceptance Testing are
controlled by the LMF through the GPIB, only the Test Equipment
Models supported by the LMF can be used.
NOTE
– Before using the LMF, read the Release Notes
“Caveats” section in the WinLMF On-Line HelpSR2.16.x for any applicable information.
– The ATP Test is to be performed on out-of-service
sectors only.
– DO NOT substitute Test Equipment with other
models not supported by the LMF.
4
Reduced A TP
Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed interconnection information needed for
calibrating equipment, cables, and other Test Equipment Set
components.
NOTE
Equipment has been factory–tested for FCC Compliance.
If license–governing bodies require documentation
supporting BTS Site Compliance with regulations, a full
ATP may be necessary.
Perform the Reduced ATP only if reports for the specific
BTS Site are NOT required.
After downloading the proper operational software to the BTS, the CFE
must perform these procedures (minimum recommendation):
1. Verify that the TX/RX Paths by performing TX Calibration, TX
Audit, and FER Tests.
2. Retrieve Calibration Data required for normal site operation.
Should failures occur while performing the specified tests, refer to the
Basic Troubleshooting section of this manual for help in determining the
failure point. Once the point of failure has been identified and corrected,
refer to the BTS Optimization and ATP Test Matrix (Table C-1) to
determine the applicable test that must be performed.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedure– continued
In the unlikely event that the BTS passes these tests but has a Forward
Link problem during normal operation, the CFE should then perform the
additional TX Tests for troubleshooting: TX Spectral Mask, TX Rho,
and TX Code Domain.
ATP Test Options
ATP Tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:
S All TX: TX Tests verify that the performance of the BTS Transmit
Elements. These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, Trunking Modules, the
LPA Modules, and passive components including Splitters,
Combiners, Bandpass Filter(s), and RF Cables.
S All RX: The RX Test verifies the performance of the BTS Receive
4
Elements. These include the MPC, EMPC (for Companion Frames),
BBX, MCC, GLI Cards, and the passive components including RX
Filters and RF Cables.
S All TX/RX: Executes all TX and RX Tests.
ATP Prerequisites
S Full Optimization: Executes the TX Calibration, downloads BLO,
and executes the TX Audit before running all TX and RX Tests.
Before attempting to run any ATP Tests, ensure that the following have
been completed:
S BTS has been optimized (BBX Cards calibrated and BLOs
downloaded) (Chapter 3)
S The carrier(s) and/or sector(s) to be tested have been taken out of
service at the CBSC.
S LMF is logged into the BTS.

Set–up
NOTE
The Test Equipment must be re–calibrated before using it
to perform the TX Acceptance Tests.
All ATP Testing
Perform the procedure in Table 4-1 to Set–up Test Equipment for all
tests..
1If it has not already been done, interface the LMF Computer to the BTS.
– Refer to Table 3-6 and Figure 3-3.
2If it has not already been done, start a GUI LMF Session and log into the BTS.
– Refer to Table 3-10.
3If it has not already been done, connect Test Equipment for Acceptance Testing.
– Refer to Figure 3-20, Figure 3-21, Figure 3-22, Figure 3-23, Figure 3-24, or Figure 3-25, as
applicable, for the Test Equipment and Antenna Duplexing being used.
* IMPORTANT
LMF–based Measurements factor into TX Test Test Cable Insertion Loss between the RF Modem
Frame and Test Equipment.
If additional attenuation, such as external TX Combiners, is inserted in the path, it must be
identified to the LMF by including it in the TX Test Cable Calibration.
– If this is not possible, include the attenuation in the TX Path by editing Test Cable Insertion
Loss Values (refer to Table 3-35).
– Failure to do this will result in test inaccuracies and potential for erroneous ATP failures
because the additional losses would not be compensated for in the test measurements.

Abbreviated (All–inclusive) Acceptance Tests
All–inclusive Tests
General
The all–inclusive Acceptance Tests are performed from the LMF GUI
Environment. These all–inclusive tests are called abbreviated ATPs
because they execute various combinations of individual Acceptance
Tests with a single command. This allows verification of multiple
aspects of BTS performance while minimizing time needed for
individual Test Set–up and initiation.
Abbreviated ATP Options
There are three abbreviated Acceptance Tests that evaluate different
performance aspects of the BTS. This allows the CFE to select testing to
4
meet the specific requirements for individual Maintenance and
Performance Verification situations. The following items summarize the
coverage of each Abbreviated Test.:
S All TX/RX: Performs all transmit and receive ATPs on the selected
MCC Cards and BBX Cards.
S All TX: Performs complete set of transmit ATPs on the selected MCC
Cards and BBX Cards. Testing is the equivalent of performing all of
the following individual tests:
– TX Mask Test
– Rho Test
– Pilot Time Offset Test
– Code Domain Power Test
S All RX: Performs complete Receive ATP on the selected MCC Cards
and BBX Cards. Testing is the equivalent of performing the FER Test.
Abbreviated Acceptance Test Procedures
Procedures to accomplish each type of Abbreviated ATP are included in
the following subsections..

Individual Acceptance Tests
RX and TX Testing
The following individual ATP Tests can be used to evaluate specific
aspects of BTS Operation against individual performance requirements.
All testing is performed using the LMF GUI Environment.
TX Testing
TX Tests verify any given Transmit Antenna Path and Output Power
Control. All tests are performed using the external, calibrated Test
Equipment. All measurements are made at the appropriate BTS TXOUT Connector(s).
TX Tests verify TX Operation of the entire CDMA Forward Link using
selected BBX Cards assigned to respective Sector Antennas. Each BBX
is keyed–up to generate a CDMA Carrier (using both bbxlevel and
BLO) at the CDF File–specified Carrier Output Power Level.
RX Testing
RX Testing verifies Receive Antenna Paths for BBX Cards selected for
the test. All tests are performed using the external, calibrated Test
Equipment to inject a CDMA RF Carrier with all zero Longcode at the
specified RX Frequency at the appropriate BTS RX IN Connector(s).
RX Tests verify RX Operation of the entire CDMA Reverse Link using
all equipped MCC Cards assigned to all respective sector/antennas.
4
Individual Tests
Spectral Purity TX Mask
This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA Carrier Waveform
generated on each sector meets the transmit Spectral Mask Specification
(as defined in IS–97) with respect to the assigned CDF File Values.
Waveform Quality (Rho)
This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot Channel Element Digital
Waveform Quality (Rho) exceeds the minimum specified value in IS–97.
Rho represents the correlation between the actual and perfect CDMA
Modulation Spectrums. 1.0000 represents 100% (or perfect correlation).
Pilot Time Offset
The Pilot Time Offset is the difference between the Communications
System Test Set Measurement Interval (based on the BTS System Time
Reference) and the incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS
(Pilot only, Walsh Code 0).
Code Domain Power/Noise Floor
This test verifies the Code Domain Power Levels, that have been set for
all ODD numbered Walsh Channels, using the OCNS Command. This is
done by verifying that the ratio of PILOT divided by OCNS is equal to
2 dB, and, that the Noise Floor of all EVEN–numbered “OFF”
10.2 +
Walsh Channels measures < –27 dB for IS–95A/B and CDMA2000 1X
with respect to total CDMA Channel Power.

TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test
Background
Overview
This test verifies the Code Domain Power and Noise Floor of each
operator–selected BBX Carrier keyed at a specific frequency specified inthe current CDF. All tests are performed using the external, calibrated
Test Equipment controlled by the same command. All measurements are
made at the appropriate BTS TX Antenna Connector..
CDMA Channel Test Set–up
Pilot Gain should be set to 262 for each antenna and the selected MCC
Cards should be configured to supply all odd–numbered Walsh Code
4
Traffic Channel Elements by enabling Orthogonal Channel Noise Source
(OCNS) on all odd MCC Channel Elements (maximum 32 Full Rate
Channels with an OCNS Gain of 81).
– All even–numbered Walsh Code Traffic Channel Elements should
have OCNS disabled, and are considered “OFF”.
– Selected MCC Cards should be Forward–Link Enabled for the
antenna (sector) under test..
Equipment Operation During Testing
The BBX should be keyed–up using a BLO–corrected
generate a CDMA Carrier consisting of Pilot and OCNS Channels. RF
Output Power, as measured at the appropriate Frame TX Antenna
Connector, is set at one of the following values depending on the
Operating Frequency Spectrum.:
– 800 MHz: 33.5 dBm
– 1.9 GHz: 31.0 dBm
Test Measurements
The Test Equipment will measure and return the Channel Element
Power in dB of all specified Walsh Channels within the CDMA
spectrum. Additional calculations will be performed to verify that the
following parameters are met.
– Refer to Figure 4-3 for graphic representations.:
bbxlvl Value to
S Traffic Channel Element Power Level will be verified by calculating
the ratio of Pilot Power to OCNS Gain of all Traffic Channels [Root
Sum of the Square (RSS) of each OCNS Gain divided by the Pilot
Power].
– This value should be 10.2 dB + 2.0 dB.
S Noise Floor (unassigned “OFF” even–numbered Walsh Channels) is
verified to be < –27 dB for IS–95A/B and CDMA2000 1X with
respect to total CDMA Channel Power

RX FER Acceptance Test
Background
Overview
This test verifies the BTS Frame Erasure Rate (FER) on all TCHs
currently configured on operator–selected MCC Cards (full rate at 1%
FER) at –119 dBm. All tests are performed using the external, calibrated
Test Equipment as the Signal Source controlled by the same command.
Measurements are made at the specified BTS RX Antenna Connection..
Equipment Operation During Testing
The Pilot Gain on each MCC will be set to 262 for each TX Antenna,
and the Forward Link for all TCH Elements from the MCC Cards will
be enabled. Appropriate BBX(s) must be keyed in order to enable the
RX Receive Circuitry. Operator–selected BBX Cards will be keyed
using only bbxlvl, to generate a CDMA Carrier with Pilot Channel
Element only.
4
Transmit Power Output is set at –40 dBm. Test Equipment Output Power
is set so that the received power at the BBX is –119 dBm. The Final
Output Power Setting of the Test Equipment takes into account the MPC
type, BTS RF Path Losses, and test Test Cable Insertion Losses. If
selected, the Redundant BBX will be assigned to the current RX
Antenna Paths under test..
Test Measurements
The LMF will prompt the MCC Channel Element under test to measure
all–zero Longcode and provide the FER report on the selected active
MCC on the Reverse Link for the Main and, if selected, Diversity RX
Antenna Paths. Results are evaluated to ensure they meet the following
specification.:
FER returned less than 1% and Total Frames measured is 1500
Redundant BBX Testing
After the test, the BBX and the Test Equipment will be de–keyed to shut
down the Pilot Signal and the active Channel Element, respectively. If
the Redundant BBX was tested, BBXR assignment to an active sector
will also be reset..

Basic Troubleshooting: RF Path Fault Isolation
Overview
The Optimization (RF Path Characterization or Calibration) and
Post-Calibration (Audit) Procedures measure and limit-check the BTS
reported Transmit and Receive Levels of the path from each BBX to the
back of the frame. When a fault is detected, it is specific to a Receive or
Transmit Path. The Troubleshooting Process in this section determines
the most probable cause of the fault.
As the Calibration and Audit Tests are performed, results are displayed
in the LMF Test Status Report Window. When faults are encountered,
the Test Procedure in progress continues running and displaying any
further faults. If it appears that there are major faults, the test can be
aborted.
The test results can be saved to a
directory\cdma\bts–# Folder. To do this, close the Test Status Report
Window using the Save Results Button.
NOTE
Closing the Test Status Report Window with the Dismiss
Button will delete the test results without saving them.
If a test is re–run or a new calibration, audit, or test is run and the results
are saved, the previous test results in the bts–#.rpt File are
overwritten. To prevent losing previous test results in the bts–#.rpt

If Every Test Fails
File, refer to the procedure in Table 4-10 before performing further
testing with the LMF.
If there are major faults, recheck the Test Equipment Attachments for
errors. If none are found, close the Test Status Report Window using the
Save Results Button, and save the contents of the resulting bts–#.rpt
file as described in Table 4-10. Also, note other specifics about the
failure, and proceed with the Fault Isolation Procedure.
If all tests fail, perform the procedure in Table 6-14.

Verify BLO Check Box
When performing a Calibration with the TX Calibration... or All
Cal/Audit... Functions, the Verify BLO Check Box should normally be
checked. When a Calibration fails, determine if any items such as
Directional Couplers or Combiners have been added to the TX Path.
If additional items have been installed in the path, try re–running the
Calibration with Verify BLO unchecked. If Calibration still does not
pass, refer to the following paragraphs and use the TX Output Fault
Isolation Flowchart to identify the most probable cause of the failure.
Single–Sided BLO Check Box
When performing a Calibration with the TX Calibration... or All
Cal/Audit... Functions, the Single–Sided BLO Check Box should not
be checked when the Redundant BBX is being calibrated. When a
Calibration fails with the Redundant BBX selected, try re–running the
Calibration with the Single–Sided BLO Check Box unchecked.
– If the Calibration still fails, refer to the following paragraphs and
use the TX Output Fault Isolation Flowchart to identify the most
probable cause of the failure.
If Faults Are Isolated
Fault Isolation Flowchart
If the Fault Reports are isolated between successful Path Checks, the
root cause of the faults most likely lies with one or more of the Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU) cards/modules.
– If more than one failure was reported, look for a common
denominator in the data. For example, if any TX Test fails on one
sector only, the BBX assigned to that sector (Table 1-5) is a likely
cause. Also, look at the Severity of the failure.
– If the Path Loss is just marginally out of the relaxed specification
limit during the Post-Calibration TX Audit, suspect excessive Test
Cable Insertion Loss.
– If limits are missed by a wide margin, suspect incorrectly wired
cables or total device failure.
Use the TX Output Fault Isolation Flowchart in Figure 6-1 to identify
the strongest possible cause for a failed TX Test.
The flowchart covers the Transmit Path.
– Transmit Paths usually fail the lower Test Limit, indicating
excessive Loss in some component in the BTS Site or incorrect
wiring.
– A failure of an upper Test Limit usually indicates a problem with
the Test Set–up or external equipment.
Before replacing a suspected FRU, always repeat and verify that the test
results to rule out a transient condition. If a BBX fails an Upper Limit in
the Post–Calibration Audit Procedure, re–calibrate and verify that the
out–of–tolerance condition for that BBX and/or sector before
replacement.

Troubleshooting: SCCP Backplane
Introduction
The SCCP Backplane is a multi–layer printed circuit board that
interconnects all of the SCCP Cards and Modules. The complexity of
this board lends itself to possible improper diagnoses when problems
occur.
Connector Functionality
The following Connector Overview describes the major types of
Backplane Connectors along with the functionality of each. This will
assist the CFE to:
S Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem
type.
S Isolate problems to a specific cable or connector.
Span Line Connector
The 50–pin Span Line Connector provides a primary and secondary (if
used) Span Line Interface to each GLI in the SCCP Cage. The Span Line
is used for MM/EMX Switch Control of the Master GLI and also all of
the BBX Traffic.
Power Input (Return A and B Connectors)
Provides 27 Volt Input for use by the Power Supply Modules.
Power Supply Module Interface
Each Power Supply Module has a series of three different connectors to
provide the needed inputs/outputs to the SCCP Backplane. These are:
The Transceiver Power Module converts 27 Volts to a regulated +15,
+6.5, +5.0 Volts to be used by the SCCP Cage Cards.
GLI Connector
This connector consists of a Harting 4SU Digital Connector and a
6–conductor COAXial Connector for RDM Distribution. The connectors
provide inputs/outputs for the GLI Cards in the SCCP Backplane.
GLI Ethernet “A” and “B” Connections
These SMB Connectors are located on the SCCP Backplane and connect
to the GLI Card. This interface provides all the Control and Data
Communications over the Ethernet LAN between the Master GLI, the
Redundant GLI, and the LMF.
6
BBX Connector
Each BBX Connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU Digital Connector
and two 6–conductor COAXial Connectors. These connectors provide
DC, Digital, and RF Inputs/Outputs for the BBX Cards in the SCCP
Backplane.
FEB 20051X SC 4812T Lite BTS Optimization/ATP 6-23
PRELIMINARY
Troubleshooting: SCCP Backplane– continued
CIO Connectors
S RF RX Antenna Path Signal Inputs are routed through RX Paths of
the DRDCs or TRDCs at the RF Interface Panel (rear of the frame),
and through COAXial Cables to the two MPC Cards.
The three “A” (Main) Signals go to one MPC; the three “B”
(Diversity) Signals to the other. The MPC outputs the
low–noise–amplified signals through the SCCP Backplane to the CIO
where the signals are split and sent to the appropriate BBX.
S A Digital Bus then routes the Baseband Signal through the BBX, to
the SCCP Backplane, and then on to the MCC Slots.
S Digital TX Antenna Path Signals originate at the MCC Cards. Each
output is routed from the MCC Slot through the SCCP Backplane to
the appropriate BBX.
S TX RF Path Signal originates from the BBX, travels through the
SCCP Backplane to the CIO, through the CIO, and then through
multi-conductor COAXial Cabling to the Trunking Module and LPA
Modules in the LPA Shelf.
SCCP Backplane
Troubleshooting Procedure
The following tables provide standard procedures for troubleshooting
problems that appear to be related to a defective SCCP Backplane. The
tables are broken down into possible problems and steps that should be
taken in an attempt to find the root cause.

Troubleshooting: RFDS
Introduction
The RFDS is used to perform Pre–Calibration Verification and
Post-Calibration Audits that limit-check the RFDS-generate and
reported Receive Levels of every path from the RFDS through the
Directional Coupler Coupled Paths. In the event of test failure, refer to
the following tables.
1Check the TX Calibration Equipment for proper operation by performing the following actions.
1aManually set the Signal Generator Output Attenuator to the lowest Output Power Setting.
1bConnect the Output Port to the Spectrum Analyzer RF Input Port.
2Set the Signal Generator Output Attenuator to –90 dBm, and switch on the RF Output.
3Verify that the Spectrum Analyzer can do the following:
– Receive the signal.
– Indicate the correct Signal Strength (accounting for the Cable Insertion Loss).
– Indicate the approximate frequency.
4Visually inspect the RF Cabling.
Make sure that the Directional Coupler Forward Port and Reflected Port are connected to the RFDS
Antenna Select Unit on the RFDS.
5Check the wiring against the Site Documentation Wiring Diagram or the 1X SC4812T Lite Hardware
Installation manual (68P09262A57)
6Verify that all changes to the RFDS Parameter Settings have been downloaded.
7Status the TSU to verify that the TSIC and SUA Software Versions are correct.
8Check to see that all RFDS Cards show green on the Front Panel LEDs.
9Visually check for external damage.
10If any card LEDs do not show green, replace the RFDS with a known–good unit.
– Re–test after replacement.

All RX and TX Paths Fail
If every Receive or Transmit Path fails, the problem most likely lies with
the RF Converter Card or the Transceiver Card. Replace the RFDS with
a known–good unit and retest.
