Purpose of Optimization Purpose of Optimization


Why Optimize?

Proper optimization, also known as calibration, ensures that:

S Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site. S Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
What Is Calibration?

Calibration compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal equipment variations. Site calibration guarantees that the combined losses of the cables and the gain/loss characteristics and built-in tolerances of each BTS frame do not accumulate and cause improper site operation.
What Happens During Calibration?

Overview During calibration, the accumulated path loss or gain is first determined for each RF transmit path in the BTS. These transmit path loss or gain values are then stored in a database along with RF receive path default values. RF path defintions For definitions of the BTS transmit (TX) and receive (RX) paths, see What is Bay Level Offset Calibration? in the Bay Level Offset Calibration section of Chapter 3. NOTE In this publication, all models of the Broad Band Transceiver (BBX) board usable in this BTS, are generically identified as BBX, unless otherwise specified. Also, all models of the MultiChannel CDMA (MCC) cards usable in this BTS, are generically identified as MCC, unless otherwise specified.

RF paths and transceiver calibration Twelve of the BBX boards in each CombinedCDMA Channel Processor (CCCP) shelf are optimized to specific RX and TX antenna connectors. The last BBX board provides redundancy for BBX boards 1 through 12, and is optimized to all antenna connectors. A single calibration value is generated for each complete path. This eliminates the accumulation of error that would occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of each element in the path. Using RF path gain/loss values BTS equipment factors in the derived calibration values internally to adjust transceiver power levels, leaving only sitespecific antenna feedline loss and antenna gain characteristics to be factored in by the CFE when determining required site Effective Radiated Power (ERP) output power levels.

General Test Equipment Selection, Calibration, and Operation Requirememnts General Test Equipment Selection, Calibration, and Operation Requirememnts
Policy

General Requirements To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable BTS calibration results, test equipment and software meeting the following technical criteria should be used for BTS calibration. Test equipment substitution Test equipment can be substituted with other test equipment models, but substitute items must meet the same technical specifications. All test equipment models selected for use in BTS calibration and acceptance testing must be supported by the LMF. Measurement variances and test equipment substitution It is the responsibility of the customer to account for any measurement variances and/or additional losses/inaccuracies which can be introduced as a result of test equipment item substitutions. Before beginning BTS calibration or troubleshooting, make sure that the test equipment needed is onhand and operating properly.
Test Equipment Calibration

Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular support equipment service and calibration prior to its use for BTS calibration. Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
Test Cable Calibration

Onsite cable calibration Test cables can make critical differences in calibration accuracy. Motorola recommends that cable calibration be run at every BTS with the complete test equipment set. This method compensates for test cable insertion loss within the test equipment set itself. No other allowance for test cable insertion loss needs to be made during the performance of BTS calibration or acceptance tests. Inshop cable characterization Another method to account for cable loss is by entering it into the LMF prior to the calibration procedure. This method requires accurate test cable characterization using shop test equipment. Characterized cables should be tagged with the characterization information, and the measured losses entered into the LMF before performing BTS calibration.
Equipment Warmup

After arriving at the a site, the test equipment should be plugged in and turned on to allow warm up and stabilization for as long as possible. The following test equipment items must be warmed up for a minimum of 60 minutes prior to use for BTS calibration. S Communications Test Set

BTS Equipment Identification BTS Equipment Identification


Equipment Overview

The BTS can consist of the following equipment frames: S At least one BTS starter frame 48 V configuration shown in Figure 1-2 +27 V configuration shown in Figure 1-3 S Ancillary equipment frame (or wall mounted equipment) S One or more Expansion frames. Expansion frames are essentially the same as starter frames, but which incorporate unique components on the I/O (Interconnect) panel. NOTE I/O panel detail is provided for Starter Frame in Figure 1-4 and Expansion Frame in Figure 1-5 CCCP cage details are provided in Figure 1-6
Logical BTS

The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability. Previously, all BTS frames colocated at a single site had to be identified in the network with separate and distinct BTS ID numbers. In the Logical BTS feature, all frames located at a single BTS site are identified with unique Frame ID numbers (Frame ID Numbers 1, 101, 201, 301) under a single (site) BTS ID number. A logical BTS can consist of up to four frames.When the LMF is connected to frame 1 of a logical BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames that make up the logical BTS. A logical BTS requires a CDF file that includes equipage information for all of the logical BTS frames and their devices and a CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the logical BTS fames. Logical BTS Numbering The first frame of a logical BTS has a 1 suffix (e.g., BTS8121 ). Other frames of the logical BTS are numbered with suffixes, 101, 201, and 301 (e. g. BTS812201 ). When you log into a BTS, a FRAME tab is displayed for each frame. If there is only one frame for the BTS, there is only one tab (e.g., FRAME2821) for BTS282. If a logical BTS has more than one frame, there is a separate FRAME tab for each frame (e.g. FRAME4381, FRAME438101, and FRAME438201 for a BTS438 that has three frames). Actions (e.g., ATP tests) can be initiated for selected devices in one or more frames of a logical BTS. Refer to the Select devices help screen for information on how to select devices. CCCP Shelf Card/Module Device ID Numbers All cards/modules/boards in the frames at a single site, assigned to a single BTS number, are also identified with unique Device ID numbers dependent upon the Frame ID number in which they are located. Refer to Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 for specific CCCP Shelf Device ID numbers.

BBX1X and BBX2 Interchangeability

In a BSS operating with R16.0 or later software, BBX1X cards can be used as direct replacements for BBX2 cards; however, different types of BBXs should not be mixed on the same carrier. Therefore, if a BBX2 card is replaced with a BBX1X, all remaining BBX2 cards for the carrier supported by the replaced card must also be replaced with BBX1X cards.

Configuring a BTS Frame

There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-5 outlines the basic requirements. When carrier capacity is greater than two, a 2:1 or 4:1 cavity combiner must be used. For one or two carriers, bandpass filters or cavity combiners may be used, depending on sectorization and channel sequencing. Table 1-5: BTS Sector Configuration Number of carriers 1 2 2 2 2 3,4 3,4 Number of sectors 3 or 6 6 6 3 3 3 3 Channel spacing N/A Nonadjacent Adjacent Nonadjacent Adjacent Nonadjacent Adjacent Filter requirements Bandpass Filter, Cavity Combiner (2:1 or 4:1) Cavity Combiner (2:1 Only) Not supported in single frame Cavity Combiner (2:1 or 4:1) Bandpass Filter Cavity Combiner (2:1 or 4:1) Cavity Combiner (2:1 Only)

Trunked sets are numbered 1 through 4. Refer to Table 1-6 for Power Amplifier and Trunking Backplane compatibility and PA numbering. Figure 1-7 illustrates PA mapping.

Preliminary Operations: Overview Preliminary Operations: Overview


Introduction

2
This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying module placement, jumper, and Dual Inline 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.

Cell Site Types

Sites are configured as Omni with a maximum of 4 carriers, 3sectored with a maximum of 4 carriers, and 6sectored with a maximum of 2 carriers. Each type has unique characteristics and must be calibrated accordingly. For more information on the differences in site types, please refer to the 1X SC4812T CLPA BTS Hardware Installation.
NEC

The Network Element Configuration (NEC) files (packet BTS) contain site type and equipage data information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The number of modem frames, CCCP shelves, BBX boards, MCC boards (per cage), and power amplifier assignments are some of the equipage data included in the NEC files. CAUTION Be sure that the correct NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files are used for the BTS. These should be the NEC files that are provided for the BTS by the OMCR. Failure to use the correct NEC files can cause system errors. Failure to use the correct NEC files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.

Site Equipage Verification

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 an approved antistatic wrist strap while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage from ESD. After removal, the card/module should be placed on a conductive surface or back into the antistatic shipping container.

Initial Installation of Cards/Modules

Follow the procedure in Table 2-1 to verify the initial installation of cards/modules. Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Cards/Modules Step 1 2 Action Refer to the site documentation and install all cards and modules into the appropriate shelves as required. Verify they are NOT SEATED at this time.

NOTE
The Switch card has a configuration DIP switch that must be set to match the site configuration (see Figure 2-1). As the actual site hardware is installed, record the serial number of each module on a Serial Number Checklist in the site logbook. NOTE Figure 2-1 shows DIP switch configuration settings for SC4812Tseries BTS models in both 3sector and 6sector configurations. Switches 1 and 4 control configuration. For Multicarrier BTS models, switch 1 should be down.

Initial Powerup Tests and Procedures


Common Power Supply Verification

continued

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 antistatic bag in which it was shipped.

Table 2-4: Common Power Supply Verification Step 1 2 On each frame: Action Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying the frame are OFF or disabled.

S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the CCCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.

S Set breakers to the OFF position by pulling out CCCP and LPA breakers (see Figure 2-3 for
breaker panel layout if required). CCCP shelf breakers are labeled CCCP1, 2, 3. LPA breakers are labeled 1A1B through 4C4D.

Initial Powerup Tests and Procedures


Initial Power-up (BTS)

continued

The procedure must be performed on each frame after input power from the common power supply has been verified. Follow the steps in Table 2-5 to apply initial power to the cards/modules within the frame itself, verifying that each is operating within specification. Table 2-5: Initial Powerup (BTS) Step 1 2 3 Action At the BTS, set the CCCP (POWER) power distribution breakers (see Figure 2-3) to the ON position by pushing in the breakers. Insert the CCCP fan modules. Observe that the fan modules come on line. Verify the correct CCCP power/converter modules by observing the locking/retracting tabs appear as follows: STPN 4009B
PWR CCCP 4812 +27V

! CAUTION

Insert and lock the converter/power supplies into their associated slots one at a time. If no boards have been inserted, all three PWR/ALM LEDs would indicate RED to notify the user that there is no load on the power supplies. If the LED is RED, do not be alarmed. After Step 4 is performed, the LEDs should turn GREEN; if not, then a faulty converter/power supply module is indicated and should be replaced before proceeding. 4 5 6 7 Seat and lock all remaining circuit cards and modules in the CCCP shelf into their associated slots. Seat the first equipped LPA module pair into the assigned slot in the upper LPA shelf including LPA fan. Repeat step 5 for all remaining LPAs.

! CAUTION
On frames that have LPAs, engage the circuit breakers one at a time. On frames that have CLPAs, engage the circuit breakers in pairs as marked on the breaker panel.

NOTE
Engage circuit breakers only for LPAs that are equipped. Set the LPA breakers to the ON position (per configuration ) by pushing them IN. See Figure 2-3 for breaker panel layout. Engage (push) LPA circuit breakers.

Introduction to Calibration Introduction to Calibration


Overview

This chapter describes procedures for isolating the BTS from the span lines, preparing and using the LMF, downloading BTS 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.

Calibration Process Summary

After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations, such as power up, have been completed, the LMF is used to calibrate the BTS. The basic calibration process consists of the following: 1. Download GLI 1 with code and data and then enable GLI 1. NOTE GLIs must be GLI3 cards. 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 NEC files. The 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 BBX1X) GLI3 (other than GLI 1) MCC1X 4. Verify the operation of the GPS and QHSO, HSO, or MSO 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.

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. 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.
Cell Site Types

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.

Configuration Files

The Network Element Configuration (NEC) files contain information that defines the BTS and data used to download files to the devices. The NEC Base (NECB NECB*bts#.xml) and NEC Journaling (NECJ NECJ*bts#.xml) files are used by packet BTSs. NEC files must be placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log into that BTS. NEC files can be obtained from the OMCR using a floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be used if the LMF computer has that capability. The NEC files include the following information:

S Download instructions and protocol S Site specific equipage information S CCCP shelf allocation plan
BBX equipage (based on cellsite type) including redundancy CSM equipage including redundancy MCC (MCC24E, MCC8E, or MCC1X) channel element allocation plan. This plan indicates how the CCCP 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.

S CSM equipage including redundancy S HSO equipage whenever either an HSO, QHSO, or MSO backup
timing reference source card is installed in the BTS.

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 online documentation (part of the LMF software application) for additional information on the layout of the LMF directory structure (including NEC file location and format).

BTS Software Download

BTS software must be successfully downloaded to the BTS processor boards before calibration can be performed. BTS operating code is loaded from the LMF computer. CAUTION Before using the LMF for calibration or acceptance testing, the correct NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files for the BTS must be obtained from the OMCR and put in a bts# folder in the LMF. Failure to use the correct NEC files can cause improper or unpredictable BTS operation. Failure to use the correct NEC files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site. The NEC files are normally obtained from the OMCR 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 online documentation (part of the LMF software application) for the procedure.
Site Equipage Verification

If it has not already done, use an editor to view the NEC files, and review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage data in the NEC files matches the actual site hardware using a NEC file conversion table. CAUTION Use extreme care not to make any changes to the NEC file content while viewing the file. Changes to the NEC file can cause the site to operate unreliably or render it incapable of operation.

Preparing the LMF Preparing the LMF


Overview

Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting Motorolaspecified 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 S NEC files for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the OMCR) The following section provides information and instructions for installing and updating the LMF software and files.
Overview of Packet BTS files

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 regenerated. Once the NECJ reaches 80% of its maximum size, the NECB is regenerated by the OMCR, and all updates from the NECJ file are rolled into it. The NEC files play much more extensive role than the previouslyused CDF files. Additional important, LMFrelated 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 OMCR from MIB and reflect the BTS provisioning. S These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on the system for each BTS. S Unlike the CDF file, the NEC files will reside on both OMCR and GLI3s operating in packet mode. The NEC files will be synchronized periodically between the OMCR 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


NEC files.

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

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 BTScentric 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 Never use a generic NEC file. The specific, siteunique 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 Operators Guide for a complete description of the folder structure. Figure 3-1: LMF Folder Structure
(C:) x:\<lmf home directory> folder cdma folder bts# folders (A separate folder is required for each BTS where bts# is the unique BTS number; for example, bts163.) loads folder version folder (A separate folder is required for each different version; for example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5.) code folder data folder

NOTE The loads folder and all the folders below it are not available from the LMF for Software Release 2.16.4.1. These folders may be present as as a legacy from previous software versions or downloaded from the OMCR. Users will need to manually add the directories to a newly installed LMF when they add the code loads to be downloaded.

LMF Home Directory

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: <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.
Filename Conventions and Directory Location

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, NECB2.16.4.1.40bts 480.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 is used for packet BTS. It 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 prePacket.

The naming convention for the LIF is: NE_LIF.xml The LIF must be placed in the <x>:\lmf home directory>\cdma\loads\<software_release#> directory; for example, c:\wlmf\cdma\loads\2.17.0.10. The LIF can be obtained from the OMCR directory /screl/<software_release#>/loadable/bts Cal File The Cal File still resides in the <LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts# directory and is named bts#.cal, where # is the actual integer number of the BTS.
LMF Application Installation

This section provides information and instructions for installing and updating the LMF software and files. NOTE First Time Installation Sequence: 1. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 2. Install U/WIN Kshell emulator 3. Install LMF application programs 4. Install/create BTS folders

NOTE 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 overwrites these modifications. There are multiple binary image packages for installation on the CDROM. 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.

NOTE
If applicable, replace the letter d with the correct CD ROM drive letter.

Copy NEC Files to the LMF Computer

Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF computer to execute optimization/ATP procedures, the correct NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files must be obtained from the OMCR and put in a bts-# folder in the LMF computer. This requires downloading the files using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or creating versions of the OMCR NEC files on a DOSformatted floppy diskette and using the diskette to install the NEC files on the LMF computer. NOTE

S If a network connection is available, the ftp method can


be used to copy the NEC files from the OMCR.

S On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can

be used in place of the cp command (for example, unix2dos NECB2.21.0.0.9bts248.xml NECB2.21.0.0.9bts248.xml). This should be done using a copy of the OMCR NEC files so the original OMCR NEC files are not changed to DOS format.

NOTE When copying NEC files, be sure the numbers used in the NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml filenames correspond to the locally assigned numbers for each BTS and its controlling OMCR. This will prevent BTS login problems with the LMF.

Start a Command Line Interface (CLI) session and log in. Insert a DOS formatted diskette in the workstation drive. Type eject q and press the <Enter> key. 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
number. Use the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing step 7. 5 6 7 Change to the directory containing the file by typing cd <directory name> (ex. cd bts248 ) and pressing <Enter>. Type ls <Enter> to display the list of files in the directory. With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOSformatted versions of the 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 NECB2.12.4.41bts248.xml /floppy/no_name/ NECB2.12.4.41bts248.xml .

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 NEC files on the LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended. 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 NECB2.21.4.41bts248.xml NECJ2.21.4.41bts248.xml /floppy/no_name).

Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Sessions

General Confirming or changing the configuration data of External BTS Routers (EBR) and certain BTS Field Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing a ManMachine Interface (MMI) communication session between the LMF and the FRU or EBR. Using features of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI session can be saved on the LMF computer as a named HyperTerminal connection. This eliminates the need for setting up connection parameters each time an MMI session is required to support operations. Desktop Shortcut Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on the Windows operating system desktop. Double clicking the shortcut icon will start the connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.

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 For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations, refer to the LMF Help function online documentation (part of the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) software application). 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. NOTE When using the R17 and earlier LMF versions which use JRE 1.4.1, a bug in this JRE version can cause the LMF to become unresponsive when operating with some video cards. See the Troubleshooting: Installation section of Chapter 7 if this problem occurs.

The frame tab will be labeled with CDMA and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame number (for example, BTS8121 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If there is only one frame for the BTS, there will only be one tab. NEC file Requirements For the LMF to recognize the devices installed in the BTS, BTS 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. RFDS or CRMS Probe Display If an RFDS or CRMS Probe is included in the NEC files, a tab labeled with RFDS, a dash, and the BTS numberframe number combination (for example, RFDS8121) will be displayed. NOTE The RFDS display is used for the CRMS models. CRMS models are NOT shown or called out in the LMF screens.

Graphical User Interface Overview

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 packetmode BTS (SC4812T shown). An X is displayed on the front of each card that is under SelfManaged NE control by the GLI3 card.
SEP 2009 1X SC4812T CLPA BTS Optimization/ATP 3-19

Using the LMF

continued

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. Figure 3-7 depicts a packetmode BTS that has the MCC1 and the BBX1 cards under LMF control. Notice that the X is missing from the front of these two cards. Figure 3-4: BTS Login screen identifying circuit and packet BTS files

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. The LMF architectural design is such that only one handler can be running at one time. Because of this in R19.0 and later, the GUI must be started before the CLI if the GUI and CLI are to be used at the same time. When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI automatically finds and uses an inprogress 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 open when the user starts the GUI) or if the GUI is already running when the user starts a second GUI instance, a dialog window displays the following warning message:
The CLI handler is already running. This may cause conflicts with the LMF. Are you sure that you want to start the application? Yes No

Selecting the yes button starts the application. Selecting the no button terminates the application. CLI Format Conventions The CLI command can be broken down in the following way: verb device including device identifier parameters switch 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 manual for a complete explanation of the CLI commands and their use.

Logging Out

continued

Logging out of a BTS is accomplished differently for the GUI and the CLI operating environments. NOTE The GUI and CLI environments use the same connection to a BTS. If a GUI and the CLI session are running for the same BTS at the same time, logging out of the BTS in either environment will log out of it for both. When either a login or logout is performed in the CLI window, there is no GUI indication that logout has occurred.

Logging Out of a BTS from the GUI Environment Follow the procedure in Table 3-8 to logout of a BTS when using the GUI environment. Table 3-8: BTS GUI Logout Procedure n Step 1 2 3 Click on BTS on the BTS tab menu bar. Click the Logout item in the pulldown menu (a Confirm Logout popup message appears). Click on Yes or press the <Enter> key to confirm logout. The screen display returns to the Login tab. Action

NOTE
If a logout was previously performed on the BTS from a CLI window running at the same time as the GUI, a Logout Error popup message appears stating the system should not log out of the BTS. When this occurs, the GUI must be exited and restarted before it can be used for further operations. 4 If a Logout Error popup message appears stating that the system could not log out of the Base Station because the given BTS is not logged in, perform the following actions: Click OK. Select File>Exit in the window menu bar. Click Yes in the Confirm Logout popup. Click Yes in the Logout Error popup which appears again. If further work is to be done in the GUI, restart it.

Packet BTS Control

In a packet BTS, the GLI3 card controls all BTS resources, such as the MCC, BBX, and CSM cards, which were previously managed by the Central Base Station Controller (CBSC) Mobility Manager (MM) for circuit BTSs. As a result, the LMF can not perform any of the normal code/data download, optimization, or test functions with packet BTS cards until the GLI3 gives up control of these items. NOTE The GLI3 cards in a packet BTS can never be placed under LMF control. GLI3 cards are selfmanaged Network Elements (NE) in a packet Base Station System (BSS). The GLI3 cards are not designed to give up control of the packet BTS and, in packet mode, will not transfer control of themselves to the LMF. An LMF control request for a GLI3 in a packet BTS will fail immediately with a status message of GLI Object Not Supported For LMF Control. In a packet BTS, the GLI3 cards will always show the X in the LMF display indicating they are not under LMF control.

Taking Control of Packet BTS Resources

After logging into a packet BTS for optimization or acceptance testing, the first action which must be performed is transferring control of the BTS cards from the GLI3 to the LMF. Prerequisites LMF must be logged into the BTS.

Download the BTS General Information Download the BTS General Information
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.

Download ROM Code

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 software on the RAN AND the OMCR 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 GLI3 cards. GLI3s are ROM code loaded at the factory.
RAM Code

NOTE GLI3 cards in packet mode can not be downloaded with RAM code and data using the LMF. Onsite RAM code download to packet GLI3 cards when communication with the OMCR is not possible require expert procedures. Contact the local Morotola account team for assistance if this operation is required. 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 from the LMF to a device that is in any state. After the download is started, the device being downloaded changes to Out Of Service_ReadOnly Memory (OOS_ROM) (blue). When the download is completed successfully, the device changes to Out Of Service_Random Access Memory (OOS_RAM) (yellow).

For nonGLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS_RAM (yellow). Prior to downloading to a device, a code file must be located on the LMF computer. 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 NEC files). The code file in the code folder must have the correct hardware bin number. Code can be automatically or manually selected. The devices to be loaded with RAM code and data are:

The GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained and operated by the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD periodically alters satellite orbits; therefore, satellite trajectories are subject to change. A GPS receiver that is INS contains an ephemeris (satellite position table) that is updated periodically to take these changes into account. If a GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to an hour for the GPS receiver ephemeris to be updated. Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3D 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.) 5

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification
Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) Subsystem Description

Overview

Each BTS CSM subsystem features two CSM cards per RFMF. The primary function of the CSM cards is to maintain CDMA system time. GPS is used as the primary timing reference and synchronizes the entire cellular system. In typical operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are provided by either an onboard GPS receiver module (RFGPS) or a remote GPS receiver (RGPS). RGPS uses a GPS receiver in the antenna head that has a digital output. The second generation CSM card (CSMII) is required when using the RGPS. A CSMII card can also be equipped with a local (RFGPS) GPS receiver daughter card to support an RFGPS signal. CCCP Shelf CSM Card Slot Assignments The card in CCCP or SCCP shelf slot CSM 1 (CSM 1 card) is the primary timing source, while the card in CSM slot 2 (CSM 2 card) provides redundancy. For RFGPS, the GPS receiver is installed on the CSM 1 card. In a BTS equipped with Remote GPS neither CSM card has a GPS receiver installed. The redundant CSM card is never equipped with a GPS receiver. CSMII Card Type Description Each CSMII card provides a 19.6608 MHz clock, Even Second Tick pulse, and 3 MHz reference that is referenced to one or more of the following available clock sources: S GPS: local/remote RFGPS or RGPS S High Stability Oscillator (HSO) S Motorola Standard Oscillator (MSO) S Quartz High Stability Oscillator (QHSO) S High Stability Oscillator eXpansion (HSOX) S Low Frequency Receiver (LFR) CDMA Clock Distribution Card (CCD) Description CCD cards buffer and distribute evensecond reference and 19.6608 MHz clock signals from the CSM cards. CCD 1 is married to the CSM 1 card, and CCD 2 is married to the CSM 2 card. CSM Card Redundancy The BTS switches between the primary and redundant units (cards CSM 1 and CSM 2, respectively) upon a card failure or command. A failure in CSM 1 or CCD 1 will cause the system to switch to the CSM 2CCD 2 redundant card pair. GPS timing synchronization is continually maintained between the primary and redundant CSMCCD pairs.

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification continued


Secondary Timing References The BTS should be equipped with a backup time reference source to maintain synchronization if the GPS reference becomes unavailable. The BTS supports the following backup reference sources: HSO, MSO, HSOX, or LFR. The CSM continuously monitors all available reference sources and selects the most appropriate source for the current operational conditions. Timing Source Fault Management CSM fault management has the ability to switch between the GPS and any available backup reference source in the event of a GPS reference failure. During normal operation, the CSM 1 card will select a GPS reference source (Table 3-20). The source selection can also be overridden through the LMF or system commands.
Front Panel LED and Status Displays

The CSM cards include on-board alarm detection. Hardware and software/firmware state and alarm conditions are displayed by the front panel LED indicator (Figure 3-11). Table 3-18 provides explanations of card front panel LED indications for CSM card state/status. Figure 3-11: CSM Front Panel PWR/ALM LED Indicator

Backup Timing Reference Sources

CSM and LFR, HSO, MSO, or QHSO Backup The CSM performs the overall configuration and status monitoring functions for the LFR, HSO, MSO, or QHSO backup reference. During times when a GPS timing reference is unavailable, the CSM can use the LFR, HSO, or MSO to maintain the synchronization initially established by the GPS reference. LFR The LFR requires an external antenna to receive longrange navigation (loran) RF signals. Timing pulses are obtained from this signal, which is synchronized to Universal Time Coordinates (UTC) and GPS time. After initial GPS lock, the LFR can maintain system synchronization indefinitely.

CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification continued


HSO An HSO card provides a highly stable clock source for installed CSM cards. The HSO is capable of maintaining CSM synchronization for a minimum of 24 hours following 24 hours of calibration by a GPS reference. MSO An MSO card provides a highly stable clock source for installed CSM cards. The MSO is capable of maintaining CSM synchronization for a minimum of 8 hours following 8 hours of calibration by a GPS reference. QHSO A QHSO card provides the same highly stable clock source for installed CSM cards. Like the HSO, the QHSO is capable of maintaining CSM synchronization for a minimum of 24 hours following 24 hours of calibration by a GPS reference. HSOX An HSOX card is used to receive an HSO or MSO clock reference from a starter frame in a multiframe BTS. CSM cards using an HSOX backup reference will maintain synchronization from the HSO or MSO in the starter frame during the absence of a GPS reference source. NOTE Allow the base site and test equipment to warm up for 60 minutes after any interruption in oscillator power. CSM card 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.

Test Equipment Setup for GPS and LFR/HSO/MSO/QHSO Verification

Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-19 to set up test equipment. Table 3-19: Test Equipment Setup for GPS and LFR/HSO/MSO/QHSO Verification Step 1 Action Perform one of the following as required by installed equipment: 1. For local GPS (RFGPS): Verify a CSM card with a GPS receiver is installed in the primary CSM slot, CSM 1, and that the card is INS_ACT (light green in LMF display).

NOTE
Verify by checking the card ejectors for kit number SGLN1145 on the CSM 1 card. 2. For Remote GPS (RGPS): Verify a CSMII card, kit number SGLN4132ED or subsequent, is installed in both the primary (CSM 1) and secondary (CSM 2) card slots, and that the cards are INS_ACT (steady green LED on card front panels and light and dark green color, respectively, in LMF display). 2 3 4 5 Remove the CSM 2 card (if installed), and connect an MMI communication cable from the LMF computer COM 1 port to the MMI port on the CSM 1 card (see Figure 3-12). Reinstall the CSM 2 card. Start an MMI communication session with the CSM 1 card by using the Windows desktop shortcut icon (see Table 3-3) . When the terminal screen appears press the Enter key until the CSM> prompt appears.

CAUTION 1. In the power entry compartment, connect the GPS antenna to the RF GPS connector ONLY. Damage to the GPS antenna and/or receiver can result if the GPS antenna is inadvertently connected to any other RF connector. 2. The following procedure requires handling of staticsensitive devices. Always wear an approved antistatic 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 antistatic container in which it was shipped.

Test Equipment Connection to the LMF Test Equipment Connection to the LMF
Test Equipment Connection

The LMF computer platform provides two types of hardware interfaces which support three different test equipment communication methods.

S The COM hardware interface (RS232) supports connection with both


the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) and direct serial communication methods. communication method.

S The Ethernet interface supports the network test equipment


Additional information on each interface type is provided in the following subsections. COM Port Interface The LMF computer RS232 serial bus interfaces are designated as COM connections or ports in software. These interfaces support communication with test equipment connected to the LMF computer directly with a serial cable or through a GPIB interface device (GPIB box). The LMF normally uses COM1 for the interface. COM2 is not used unless the LMF computer has two RS232 connectors. The COM port selected in the LMF can not be used for any other purpose when the LMF is using it. Selecting the COM port Perform the following to select a COM port for use with test equipment needing a GPIB or direct serial connection: Table 3-25: Selecting a COM Port for GPIB or Serial Test Equipment Connection Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 Action From the LMF window menu bar select Tools > Options. Result: The LMF Options window opens. If the Test Equipment tab is not in the forefront, click the tab to bring it forward. Click in the COM radio button in the GPIB/COM settings area. Result: A black dot appears in the circle. Select the COM port to use (normally COM1) from the dropdown in the Port: box of the GPIB/COM settings area. Click the Save button to save the selection configuration for future LMF sessions. Click the Close button to close the LMF Options window.

Test Equipment Connection to the LMF

continued

Disconnecting and Reconnecting the LMF and the COM port The LMF can be disconnected from the active COM port by using the Disconnect Port button in the GPIB/COM settings area of the Test Equipment tab. Disconnecting the LMF may be needed, for example, to use a HyperTerminal connection for a hardware Man Machine Interface (MMI) communication session. Perform the following to disconnect or reconnect the LMF and the selected COM port. Table 3-26: Disconnect and Reconnect the LMF and the Active COM Port Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action From the LMF window menu bar select Tools > Options. Result: The LMF Options window opens. If the Test Equipment tab is not in the forefront, click the tab to bring it forward. Disconnect the LMF from the active COM port: click the Disconnect Port button in the GPIB/COM settings area. Reconnect the LMF to the active COM port: click the Detect button in the GPIB Test equipment or Serial Test Equipment area. If no other operations are required in the LMF Options window click Close to close the window.

Ethernet Interface The LMF computer Ethernet interface supports communication with test equipment which uses the network connection method. This interface uses Internet Protocol (IP) addressing to differentiate each node on the network. Motorola recommends that Ethernet connection of the test equipment and the LMF computer be done though an Ethernet hub which includes both 10/100BaseT and coaxial 10Base2 connections. The hub connects to the LMF computer, the test equipment and the BTS. Connection details are as follows: Test equipment to hub This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable with two 10/100BaseT 8contact modular connectors. LMF to Hub Use one of the following cables to connect the LMF to the Hub: S Ethernet cable. Be sure the LMF computer Network Interface Card (NIC) is set for either AUTO or to use the 8contact modular connector only. S Coaxial cable between NIC and Hub. Use a 10Base2 (BNC) tee connector on the hub. If the hub does not have BNC connectors, use a BNCtoUTP adapter with the tee connector. Connect a coaxial cable between the LAN card and one end of the BNC tee crossbar. Hub to BTS With a BNC tee connector on the hub, connect a coaxial cable between the open end of the T crossbar and the BTS LAN connection.

Different addressing methods are used for test equipment depending on the type of interface connection it has. The different addressing methods are described in the following subsections. GPIB Addresses

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 set in 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 sections of Appendix F. Serial Connection This connection type uses a direct serial connection between the test equipment and the LMF computer platform. The Anritsu MT8212B communications test set is an example of test equipment using this type of connection. There are no specific addressing requirements for this type of interface. IP Addresses Test equipment using the Network connection type use IP addresses to identify them on the Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). The E7495A and E7495B communications test sets are examples of Network connection test equipment. Setting the IP address in the test equipment is covered in the specific test equipment (for example, Agilent E7495) setup section of Appendix F.

Test Set Calibration 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 before 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.

NOTE Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent test equipment) must be performed at the site before calibrating the overall test equipment set. Calibrate the test equipment after it has been allowed to warm up and stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.

Cable Calibration Cable Calibration


Automatic Procedures included in this section use the LMF automated calibration routines 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 Also included in this section are manual cable and directional coupler calibration procedures using a signal generator and spectrum analyzer to determine the path losses of cables which will be used in a test equipment set. When these procedures are used, the cable loss values established in the calibration process must be manually entered into the LMF. The manual entry procedures are also included in this section under Setting Cable Loss Values. In addition, manual cable calibration procedures using the Advantest R3465 communications system analyzer are provided in the Manual Cable Calibration section of Appendix F, if needed.
Calibrating Cables Overview

The cable calibration function measures the loss (in dB) for the TX and RX cables that are to be used for testing. A CDMA analyzer is used to 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 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. Refer to Figure 3-25, Figure 3-26, Figure 3-27, or Figure 3-28 for specific cable and connection requirements for each type of communications system analyzer.

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). Refer to Figure 3-25, Figure 3-26,

Purpose of Bay Level Offset Calibration

3
What is BLO Calibration?

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.

Description BLO calibration is the complete title of what is normally referred to as calibration. Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path at the BTS site. The transmit path BLO values determined during calibration are stored in the LMF calibration data file, and are subsequently downloaded to each BBX. When transmit path calibration is performed, the LMF automatically sets receive path BLO values to a default value in the LMF calibration file. Receive BLO values are downloaded to each BBX along with the transmit BLO values. BTS RF Path Descriptions Transmit (TX) path A TX path starts at a CCCP shelf BBX backplane slot, travels through the Power Amplifier (PA), and is routed to the frametop TX antenna connector. If the BTS is equipped with a CDMA Remote Monitoring System (CRMS) Probe, the TX path continues from the frametop TX antenna through the TX directional coupler supporting the CRMS Probe, and ends at the directional coupler TX antenna port. Receive (RX) path An RX path starts at the CRMS Probe RX directional coupler antenna port, if equipped, and travels through the directional coupler to the frametop RX antenna port, the MPC, the CIO or MCIO card, and terminates at a backplane BBX slot in the CCCP shelf. For a BTS not equipped with a CRMS Probe, the RX path begins at the frametop RX antenna port and follows the remainder of the route described above. Receive (RX) path, expansion frame 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.
Transceiver Slots Tested for Different Antenna Configurations

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 NEC files are tested, regardless of physical BBX board installation in the slot.

When to Calibrate BLOs

continued

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 CCCP shelf CIO card CIO to Power Amplifier backplane RF cable PA backplane PA TX filter / TX filter combiner TX thru-port cable to the top of frame

TX Path Calibration

The TX Path Calibration assures correct site installation, cabling, and the first order functionality of all installed equipment. The proper function 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 OMCR place the sector assigned to the BBXs under test OOS. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.

CAUTION Always wear an approved antistatic 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 NEC 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).

BLO Calibration Data File

During the calibration process, the LMF creates a bts#.cal calibration (BLO) offset data file (CAL file) in the bts# folder. After calibration has been completed, this offset data must be downloaded to the BBXs using the LMF Download BLO function. An explanation of the file is shown below. NOTE Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends printing a hard copy of a CAL file and refer to it for the following descriptions. The CAL file is subdivided into sections organized on a per slot basis (a slot Block). Slot 1 contains the calibration data for the 12 BBX slots. Slot 20 contains the calibration data for the redundant BBX. Each BBX slot header block contains:

S A creation Date and Time broken down into separate parameters of


createMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.

S The number of calibration entries fixed at 720 entries corresponding


to 360 calibration points of the CAL file including the slot header and actual calibration data.

! CAUTION
To prevent damage to the test equipment, all transmit (TX) test connections must be via the 30 dB directional coupler. 2 If it has not already been done, connect the LMF computer to the BTS LAN A connector on the BTS. Refer to the procedure in Table 32.

S If required, calibrate the test equipment using the procedure in Table 3-33. S Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 3-13 through Figure 3-15.
Transmit (TX) Path Calibration Description

The assigned channel frequency and power level (as measured at the top of the frame) for transmit calibration are derived from the site NEC files. For each BBX, the power is specified in the SIFPilotPwr NEC file parameter for the sector associated with the BBX. NOTE If both the NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files are current, all information will be correct on the LMF. If not, the carrier and channel will have to be set for each test. The calibration procedure attempts to adjust the power to within "0.5 dB of the desired power. The calibration will pass if the error is less than "1.5 dB. Transmit (TX) Bay Level Offset (BLO) Specifications SC4812T TX BLO specifications for different BTS configurations are as follows:

S At sites WITHOUT the directional coupler option, BLO is


approximately 42.0 dB +3.0 dB. Example BLO Calculation: TX BLO = Frame Power Output minus BBX output level. TX output power measured at BTS (36.0 dBm) minus the BBX TX output level (approximately 6.0 dBm) would equate to 42 dB BLO.

S At sites WITH the directional coupler option, BLO is approximately


41.4 dB 3.0 dB.
SEP 2009 1X SC4812T CLPA BTS Optimization/ATP 3-117

Bay Level Offset Calibration

continued

Example BLO Calculation: TX BLO = Frame Power Output minus BBX output level. TX output power measured at BTS (39.4 dBm) minus the BBX TX output level (approximately 2.0 dBm) and directional coupler/cable (approximately 0.6 dBm) would equate to 41.4 dB BLO. To set the expected values see Table 3-46.
TX Calibration and the LMF

The LMF Tests > TX > TX Calibration... and Tests > All Cal/Audit... selections perform TX BLO calibration testing for installed BBX(s). The All Cal/Audit... selection initiates a series of actions to perform TX calibration, and, if calibration is successful, download BLO and perform TX audit. The TX Calibration... selection performs only TX calibration. When TX Calibration... is used, BLO download and TX audit must be performed as separate activities. The CDMA Test Parameters window which opens when TX Calibration... or All Cal/Audit... is selected contains several userselectable features which are described in the following subsections. Rate Set Dropdown Pick List The Rate Set dropdown box is enabled if at least one MCC card is selected for the test. The available options for TX tests are 1 = 9600, and 3 = 9600 1X. Option 3 is only available if 1X cards are selected for the test. The available transfer rate options for RX tests are 1 = 9600 and 2 = 14400. Option 2 is only available if no 1X cards are selected. Verify BLO In both the TX Calibration and All Cal/Audit dialog boxes, a Verify BLO checkbox is provided and checked by default. After the actual TX calibration is completed during either the TX Calibration or All Cal/Audit process, the BLO derived from the calibration is compared to a standard, acceptable BLO tolerance for the BTS. In some installations, additional items may be installed in the transmit path. The additional change in gain from these items could cause BLO verification failure and, therefore, failure of the entire calibration. In these cases, either the Verify BLO checkbox should be unchecked or the additional path losses should be added into each applicable sector using the Util > Edit > TX Coupler Loss... function. Singlesided BLO Checkbox Another option that appears in the pulldown menu is Singlesided BLO. Normally valid BLO values are some value plusorminus some offset. The ranges currently used for calibration are wider than necessary to accommodate the redundant BBX. The lower half of the allowable range is where nonredundant BBXs should function. Singlesided BLO spec is > 16dB. Doublesided BLO spec is 11 +/5dB. To get the more stringent conditions, the operator checks Singlesided BLO when calibrating non-redundant transceivers. Singlesided BLO carries the likelihood of more failures. This option should only be used by experienced CFEs.

TX Calibration Audit TX Calibration Audit


Introduction

NOTE RF path verification, BLO calibration, and BLO data download to BBXs must have been successfully completed prior to performing the calibration audit.

3
The BLO calibration audit procedure confirms the successful generation and storage of the BLO calibration offsets. The calibration audit procedure measures the path gain or loss of every BBX transmit path at the site. In this test, actual system tolerances are used to determine the success or failure of a test. The external test equipment set up used is same as that for TX calibration.
TX Audit Test

The Tests menu item, TX Audit, performs the TX BLO Audit test for a BBX(s). All measurements are made through the appropriate TX output connector using the calibrated TX cable setup. Prerequisites WARNING Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX OUT connector, first verify there are no CDMA BBX channels keyed. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage. Before running this test, ensure that the following have been done: NOTE All PAs must be INS during any TX testing.

S S S S

CSM1, GLIs, and BBXs have correct code load and data load. Primary CSM and MGLI are INS. All BBXs are OOS_RAM.

Test equipment and test cables are calibrated and connected for TX BLO calibration. S LMF is logged into the BTS. Test Procedure Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 3-13 through Figure 3-16. Follow the procedure in Table 3-46 using the If performing TX Audit alternative in Step 3 to perform the BTS TX Path Audit test.

Create CAL File Create CAL File


After downloading BLO data to the BBXs, the BLO data must also be saved to a CAL file in the BTS folder on the LMF computer platform. The CAL file must be created or updated so it can be transferred to the OMCR. If no CAL file is stored in the BTS folder (such as after the firsttime calibration of a new BTS), the Create Cal File function gets the BLO data from the BBXs, creates the CAL file, and stores the BLO data in it. If the CAL file already exists in the BTS folder, this function will update it with the new BLO data. NOTE Create Cal File function only applies to selected (highlighted) BBXs.

CAUTION Motorola does not encourage the user to edit the CAL file as this action can cause interface problems between the BTS and the LMF. To manually edit the CAL file, the LMF must first be logged out of the BTS. If the CAL file is manually edited and then the Create Cal File function is run, the edited information is lost.

Prerequisites Before performing this procedure, the following should be done:

S LMF is logged into the BTS. S BBXs are OOS_RAM with BLO downloaded.

BTS Redundancy/Alarm Testing BTS Redundancy/Alarm Testing


Objective

This section tests the redundancy options that could be included in the cell site. These tests verify, under a fault condition, that all modules equipped with redundancy switch operations to their redundant partner and resume operation. An example would be to pull the currently active CSM and verify the standby CSM takes over distribution of the CDMA reference signal. Redundancy covers many BTS modules. Confirm the redundant options included in the BTS, and proceed as required. If the BTS has only basic power supply redundancy, the tests and procedures detailed in the following tables should be bypassed.

Alarm Verification

ALARM connectors provide Customer Defined Alarm Inputs and Outputs. The customer can connect BTS site alarm input sensors and output devices to the BTS, thus providing alarm reporting of active sensors as well controlling output devices. The SC 4812T is capable of concurrently monitoring 35 input signals. These inputs are divided between 2 Alarm connectors marked ALARM A and ALARM B located at the top of the frame (see Figure 3-33). The ALARM A connector is always functional; ALARM B is functional when an AMR module is equipped in the AMR 2 slot in the distribution shelf. ALARM A port monitors input numbers 1 through 18, while ALARM B port monitors input numbers 19, 20, and 22 through 36 (see Figure 3-34). Alarm 21 is reserved for system use. State transitions on these input lines are reported to the LMF and OMCR as GLI Input Relay alarms. ALARM A and ALARM B connectors each provide 18 inputs and 8 outputs. If both A and B are functional, 36 inputs and 16 outputs are available. They may be configured as redundant. The configuration is set by the CBSC.

Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction


Introduction

General 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. LMF User Interface This chapter provides procedures for performing acceptance testing from the LMF GUI environment, the recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages of simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeying commmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the execution of complex operations involving multiple command strings. If it is believed the LMF command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into ATP operation or unexpected test results, refer to LMF CLI Reference. Test Reports 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 Generating an ATP Report section in this chapter. Test Equipment Selection 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. CAUTION 1. Before using the LMF, read the Developer Release Notes for WinLMF section in the LMF Help function online documentation (part of the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) software application) for any applicable information. Pay particular attention to the Caveats/Known Issues part of this section. 2. The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service sectors only. 3. DO NOT substitute test equipment with other models not supported by the LMF.

Test Equipment Set Calibration Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed interconnection information needed for calibrating equipment, cables, and other test equipment set components.

Acceptance Test Procedures Introduction


Reduced ATP

continued

NOTE Equipment has been factorytested for FCC compliance. If licensegoverning 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 (minimal recommendation): 1. Verify the TX/RX paths by performing TX Calibration, TX Audit, and the Code Domain Power and FER tests. 2. Be sure calibration data for all equipped carrier sectors is obtained and loaded on the OMCR (packet) or CBSC (circuit) for normal site operation. Failures During Testing 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 FRU Optimization and ATP Test Matrix (Table C-3) in Appendix C to determine the applicable test that must be performed. 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.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedures TX & RX Automated Acceptance Test Procedures TX & RX
Automated ATP

This section covers the general requirements and procedures for conducting both automated ATP testing and performing individual ATP tests.
Automated ATP Test Options

Acceptance tests can be run individually or as one of the following automated groups:

S All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.
These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, and MCIO cards, the PAs and passive components including ETMs, (S)PLCs, TX filters, and RF cables.

S All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.
These include the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion frames), MCIO, BBX, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive components including RX filters (starter frame only), and RF cables.

S All TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests. S Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads the BLO,
and executes the TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests. NOTE The Full Optimization test can be run if TX path calibration is needed before the TX and RX acceptance tests are run. If manual testing has been performed with the HP analyzer, remove the manual control/system memory card from the card slot and set the I/O Config to the Talk & Lstn mode before starting the automated testing. The STOP button can be used to stop the testing process.

Required Test Equipment

The following test equipment is required:

S LMF S Power meter (used with HP8921A/600 and Advantest R3465) S Communications system analyzer S Signal generator for FER testing (required for all communications

Individual Tests Individual Tests


TX and RX 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 transmit antenna paths and output power control. All tests are performed using the external, calibrated test equipment. All measurements are made at the appropriate BTS TX OUT connector(s). TX tests verify TX operation of the entire CDMA forward link using selected BBXs assigned to respective sector antennas. Each BBX is keyed up to generate a CDMA carrier (using both bbxlevel and BLO) at the CDF or NEC filespecified carrier output power level. RX Testing RX testing verifies receive antenna paths for BBXs 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.
Individual Tests

Spectral Purity TX Mask (Primary & Redundant BBX) This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generated on each sector meets the transmit spectral mask specification with respect to the assigned CDF or NEC file values. Waveform Quality (Rho) This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot channel element digital waveform quality (rho) exceeds the minimum specified value in IS97. 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 CDMA analyzer measurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference) and the incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only, Pilot Gain = 262, PN Offset = 0). Code Domain Power/Noise Floor This test verifies the code domain power levels, which 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 10.2 + 2 dB, and, that the noise floor of all EVEN numbered OFF Walsh channels measures < 27 dB for IS95A/B and CDMA2000 1X with respect to total CDMA channel power.

Individual Tests

continued

Frame Error Rate (FER) The Frame Error Rate (FER) test verifies RX operation of the entire CDMA Reverse Link using all equipped MCCs assigned to all respective sectors/antennas. This test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all traffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs at an RF input level of 119 dBm (or 116 dBm if using TMPC). NOTE There are no pass/fail criteria associated with FER readings taken at levels below 119 dBm, other than to verify that the FER measurement reflects changes in the RX input signal level.

Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) This test verifies the gain for BTS reverse (RX) paths for each carriersector selected is within requirements for correct BBX receiver operation for the operating band of the BTS as follows:

S 800 MHz: +15 dB (65 dBm or greater) S 1900 and 2100 MHz: +9 dB (71 dBm or greater)

TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance Test TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance Test
Tx Mask Test

This test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX carrier keyed up at a specific frequency, per the current NEC file assignment. All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set, controlled by the same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT connector. The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna, and all channel elements from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to obtain +40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on the BTS directional coupler).

NOTE TX output power is set to +40 dBm by setting BTS power level to +33.5 dBm to compensate for 6.5 dB increase from pilot gain set to 541. The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the attenuation level of all spurious and IM products in a 30 kHz resolution bandwidth. With respect to the mean power of the CDMA channel measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth in dB, verify that results meet system tolerances at the following test points: at least 45 dB @ + 750 kHz from center frequency at least 45 dB @ 750 kHz from center frequency at least 60 dB @ 1980 kHz from center frequency at least 60 dB @ 1980 kHz from center frequency The BBX then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path under test. The test is then repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test
Code Domain Power Test

This test verifies the Code Domain (CD) power/noise floor of each BBX carrier transmitting at a specific frequency as listed in the current CDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT connector. For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCC channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to be assigned a fullrate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC Channel Elements (CE) to be tested at any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes). If more than 32 CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made to verify all CEs on all sectors. BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector. Verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for all ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is done by verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) is equal to 10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all OFF Walsh channels measures < 27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power). NOTE When performing this test using the LMF and the MCC is an MCC8E or MCC24E, the redundant BBX may fail or show marginal performance. This is due to a timing mismatch that the LMF does not address. Performing this test from the CBSC will not have this timing problem. After all channels are tested, the BBX(s) under test are de-keyed, and the redundant BBX (BBXR), if selected, is assigned to the current TX antenna path under test. The test is then repeated.

RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test
FER Test

This test verifies the BTS FER on all traffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs (full rate at 1% FER) at an RF input level of 119 dBm [or 116 dBm if using Tower Top Amplifier (TMPC)]. All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set as the signal source controlled by the same command. All measurements are through the LMF. The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each TX antenna, and all channel elements from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX is keyed up, using only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to 20 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector. The BBX must be keyed to enable the RX receive circuitry. The LMF prompts the MCC/CE under test to measure all zero longcode and provide the FER report on the selected active MCC on the reverse link for both the main and diversity RX antenna paths, verifying that results meet the following specification:

S FER returned less than 1% and total frames measured is 1500


All MCC/CEs selected are tested on the specified RX antenna path. The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current RX antenna paths under test. The test is then repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Acceptance Test Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Acceptance Test
Background

Overview This test verifies Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) for the selected sectors to ensure integrity of the reverse (RX) path and that path losses are within tolerances required for correct receiver operation. Testing is performed using the calibrated external test equipment as the signal source. The test equipment is controlled by the LMF during the test. The receive signal generated by the test equipment is injected into the sector RX path to be tested at the applicable BTS main and/or diversity receive ports. Equipment operation during testing The LMF sets the pilot channel power level of the BBX for the selected sector to 150 dBm (measured at the TX port of the frame) and keys the BBX on pilot channel only to enable the RX circuitry. The LMF then commands the test equipment to generate the receive signal on the selected carrier at 80 dBm as measured at the BTS RX port. Test measurements The power level of the received signal is measured by the BBX. The LMF corrects the measured power of the signal using the RX BLO from the BBX database and determines if the corrected signal gain is equal to or greater than the following specified criteria for the band in which the BTS operates:

S 800 MHz: +15 dB (65 dBm or greater) S 1900 and 2100 MHz: +9 dB (71 dBm or greater)
Redundant BBX testing When the redundant BBX is selected for RSSI testing, the test is run on those carriersectors specified in the Channels/Carriers pick list and the receive path(s) selected in the RX Branch dropdown list (refer to Table 4-3).

Introduction to Packet BTS Transport Configuration Introduction to Packet BTS Transport Configuration
There are several backhaul configurations used for traffic and control signalling transport between a packet BTS and the OMCR. For SC4812series and SC48x BTS models all of these depend on correctly setting the GLI3 card operating mode to interface with the required backhaul configuration. The backhaul configurations are: S Integrated BTS Router (IBR) S External BTS Router (EBR) S Open Transport Interface (OTI)
Content Summary

This chapter contains information and procedures necessary to configure GLI3 cards for the backhaul configuration required for a packet BTS. When additional procedures required for this are contained in other sections of this publication or in other publications, the procedures in this chapter will specify them at the point in the configuration process where they are necessary. This chapter contains procedures to accomplish the following: S Determine GLI3 card: Installed software version Operating mode Backhaul mode S Loading GLI3 cards with code for the required software release S Convert GLI3 card to IBR operation S Convert GLI3 card to EBR operation S Convert GLI3 card to OTI operation S Enable File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
Applicability

When to Use GLI3 Conversion Procedures in this Chapter Procedures in this chapter are only for use in configuring GLI3 cards to interface with the transport technique for which the BTS hardware has already been configured. These include GLI3 cards in a newly installed BTS and replacement GLI3 cards in an existing nonredundant BTS. When to Use BTS Conversion Procedures from Another Publication If the BTS hardware configuration is being converted from one transport techinque to another (for example, from IBR to EBR), the procedures in the applicable BTS model conversion or upgrade manual must be used instead of the procedures in this chapter. Table 5-1, below, lists the various Motorolasupported packet BTS transport conversions along with the applicable conversion or upgrade manual title needed to perform the conversion. For more information on the applicable conversion or upgrade manuals and how to obtain them, refer to the Required Documents and Related Publications section of Chapter 1.

GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code
If a GLI3 card is not loaded with code which supports the required BTS backhaul configuration, it is necessary to load code into the card for the correct software release.
Software release affect on backhaul mode

The software release of the code loaded in a GLI card determines which packet backhaul modes the card will support. Table 5-2 lists GLI3 backhaul modes along with the earliest Motorola software release which supports each. Table 5-2: GLI3 Packet Backhaul Mode and Software Release Required Packet Backhaul Mode DUPLEX INTERNAL IWFOTI SIMPLEX IBR OTI EBR (nonredundant BTS routers) Description Required Software Release 2.16.1.x and later 2.16.4.1 and later 2.20.0.x and later 2.16.1.1 and later

EBR (redundant BTS routers)

The software release of the code loaded in a GLI3 card can be determined by following the procedure in Table 5-5.
GLI3 operating mode affect on loading code

GLI3 card operating mode determines the methods which can be used to load code into the GLI cards. Table 5-3 lists the code loading methods available in each operating mode. Table 5-3: GLI3 Code Loading Methods Based on Operating Mode Operating Mode Circuit Available Code Loading Methods 1. Download from OMCR 2. Crossload from INS_ACT GLI card in a BTS 3.

GLI3 initialization

A GLI3 card will initialize in the last operating and backhaul modes in which it was functioning. This can be either of the two operating modes and any of their corresponding backhaul modes listed in Table 5-4.

Loading code into GLI3 cards

The operating mode and backhaul mode of a GLI3 card can be determined by following the procedure in Table 5-5.

Unless the customer knows the operating history and the exact software release installed in them, GLI3 cards will initialize to an unknown operating mode with a software release which may not support the required backhaul mode. The code loading methods for packet mode cards listed in Table 5-3 have been changed with softare release 2.22.0.x (R22.0). Beginning with R22.0, the WinLMF has the capability to load code into a packet GLI3. The Motorolarecommended method to load GLI3 cards onsite is to use the WinLMF. To do this, the BTS must have active spans which allow the GLI3 cards to communicate with the network for DHCP purposes. The second choice is preloading GLI3 cards with the correct software release code and then transporting them to the base station site. Preloaded cards can be exchanged for the GLI3 cards installed in the BTS. The cards removed can be preloaded for the next new base station installation or for use as spares. Loading GLI3 cards with the WinLMF (Motorolarecommended) To load code to packet GLI3 cards with the WinLMF, refer to the procedure in Table 3-13. Preloading GLI3 cards (Motorolarecommended) To preload GLI3 cards with OTIcapable code, refer to the procedure in Table 5-7.

IBR Implementation Overview

continued

Addition of fractional span support for IBRequipped packet BTS in R18.0 has made IBR implementation at the BTS a twopart process. The parts are: 1. Preparation actions 2. Configure GLI3 cards for IBR operation in either: Full span or Fractional span configuration

IBR Conversion Preparation

Follow the procedure in Table 5-9 to prepare the site for configuring the GLI3 card(s) for IBR operation. Table 5-9: IBR Configuration Preparation Step 1 2 3 4 5 Action Contact the OMCR and notify the operator that GLI3 transport configuration operations are starting. With the BTS fully powered up, the GLI3 card(s) should have been seated in the correct slots. If not, seat the card(s) at this time and allow each to complete its initialization. Make sure the GLItoGLI double crossover Fast Ethernet (FE) cable (Table 5-8) is installed between in the GLI connectors of the GLI3 cards If it was not previously done, follow the procedure in Table 5-5 to verify the software version in the GLI3 card(s) If the GLI3 software requires upgrading for IBR capability, review the GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code section of this chapter to determine how to proceed with loading IBRcapable software into the card.

NOTE
Only one card in a BTS with redundant GLI3s is required to have IBRcapable software. This card must be the INS_ACT card (shows light green in the LMF) in the BTS. The INS_ACT GLI will be the first card in the BTS which is downloaded with code and data from the LMF. The INS_ACT GLI3 will crossload the correct software to the INS_SBY GLI3. 6 7 Refer to the site documentation for IBR spans and inspect the BTS span cabling connections to be sure they match the requirements. Correct any cabling discrepancies between the BTS span cabling and site documentation, referring to the BTS hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual as needed (Required Documents and Related Publications section of Chapter 1). If it has not already been done, follow the procedure in Table 3-10 to establish an MMI communication session with the INS_ACT GLI3 card. table continued on next page

S If the BTS is provisioned with one or two full spans (24 DS0 for T1, 31 DS0 for E1), perform the
procedure in Table 5-10.

S If the BTS is provisioned with a fractional span (less than 24 DS0 for T1, less than 31 DS0 for E1),
perform the procedure in Table 5-11.

Convert GLI3 Cards to IBR Operation

The procedure used to convert GLI3 cards to IBR operation depends on the required span configuration (span_config) for the BTS:

S For a BTS provisioned with full span(s), use the procedure in


Table 5-10 Table 5-11

Table 5-10: IBR Conversion BTS Provisioned with Full Span(s) Step 10 11 12 Action Repeat steps 1 through 8 of this table for the INS_ACT GLI card, and then proceed to step 11, below. Reconnect the MMI cable to the INS_SBY GLI3 and press the Enter key to display the GLI3 > prompt.

NOTE
For redundant BTS frames, the INS_SBY GLI3 must be reset first. The INS_ACT GLI3 card must then be reset (step 13) within approximately 45 seconds of the INS_SBY GLI3 (step 12) to make sure neither card reboots with configuration files for operation with external BTS routers or circuit mode. If one GLI3 completes initialization before the other is reset, steps 1 through 8 must be repeated for both cards and both must be reset again. Use the MMI reset command to reset the GLI3 card where the MMI cable is connected.

13

Perform the following within 45 seconds of resetting the INS_SBY GLI3: 1. 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the MMI cable from the INS_SBY GLI3 Connect the MMI cable to the INS_ACT GLI3 Press the Enter key to display the GLI3 > prompt Reset the card using the MMI reset command

NOTE
In a redundant frame, if the INS_ACT GLI3 cannot be reset before the INS_SBY GLI3 completes its reboot, perform steps 1 through 8 again for each card, reset the INS_SBY GLI3, and then reset the INS_ACT GLI3 using the hardware RESET button on the front of each card. 14

NOTE
Upon rebooting after the convert_ibr operation, the GLI3 cards will begin sending Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) requests over their backplane span connections. If they do not receive a response within 50 minutes (redundant cards) or 25 minutes (nonredundant cards), they will automatically reset to their previous backhaul mode (configuration fallback). The BTS must be placed under OMCR control and initialized in packet mode within these times or the convert_ibr operation must be performed again. If continual problems are experienced with GLI3 configuration fallback before the OMCR can take control of the BTS, do the following for each installed GLI3 card: 1. Perform the convert_ibr operation from steps 1 through 8 for the INS_SBY card. 2. Perform the exception procedure in Table 5-12 for the INS_SBY card. 3. Start an MMI session with the INS_ACT card and perform steps 1 through 8. 4. Perform the exception procedure in Table 5-12 for the INS_ACT card. 5.

Table 5-10: IBR Conversion BTS Provisioned with Full Span(s) Step 15 Action Wait at least 17 minutes for the cards to complete the rebooting operation and/or the STA indicator to change to slow flashing green before attempting to proceed with the next step.

NOTE
Upon its first initialization with R18.0 or later RAM code, a packet GLI3 card will reallocate flash memory space for a duplicate copy of the bootROM code. It will then write a redundant copy of the code image to the new memory area. Visual indication of this process is provided by the STA LED flashing orange at 0.5 second intervals. This onetime process can cause the card to require up to 17 minutes to complete initialization to an INS state. Once the redundant image is created on the card, the extended 17minute upgrade process will not be repeated, even if the card is later downgraded to preR18.0 software. 16 When all preparations for BTS operation are completed, contact the OMCR, notify the operator that the BTS is ready for operation, and request notification when the operator no longer requires support onsite. When advised that there is no further requirement for onsite support of BTS and IBR initialization, proceed to Chapter 6 and follow the procedures to prepare to leave the site.

continued

Do the following to prepare a new BTS for converting the GLI3 card(s) to EBR operation. Table 5-14: EBR Conversion Preparation Step 1 Action Contact the OMCR, and: 1. Notify the operator that EBR conversion preparation is starting 2. Request the operator provide notification when the OMCR is ready to initialize the BTS. If it was not previously done, verify the software version in the GLI3 card(s) as described in Chapter 4 of the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type (refer to the Required Documents and Related Publications section of Chapter 1). If it was not previously done, follow the procedure in Table 5-5 to verify the software version in the GLI3 card(s) If the GLI3 software requires upgrading for EBR capability,, review the GLI3 Required Software Release, Operating Mode, and Loading Code section of this chapter to determine how to proceed with loading IBR/EBRcapable software into the card.

3 4

NOTE
Only one card in a BTS with redundant GLI3s is required to have IBRcapable software. This card must be the INS_ACT card (shows light green in the LMF) in the BTS. The INS_ACT GLI will be the first card in the BTS which is downloaded with code and data from the LMF. The INS_ACT GLI3 will crossload the correct software to the INS_SBY GLI3. 5 6 Refer to the site documentation for EBR spans and inspect the BTS span cabling connections to be sure they match the requirements.

! CAUTION
Do not crossconnect external BTS router span cables to active spans in the termination equipment when performing the procedures in this step. Correct any cabling discrepancies between the BTS span cabling and site documentation, referring to the BTS hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual as needed (Required Documents and Related Publications section of Chapter 1)..

Inspect the BTS and BTStoEBR 10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet (FE) cabling and be sure it matches the required configuration for the EBR group type installed (redundant or nonredundant) according to the hardware installation or packet backhaul upgrade manual. If the FE cabling has not yet been functionally verified, verify it as described in the Fast Ethernet Verification chapter of the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type. table continued on next page

Table 5-15: Convert GLI3 Cards to EBR Operation Step 6 Action

NOTE
In redundant frames, the INS_SBY GLI3 card must be reset first. Then the INS_ACT GLI3 card must be reset (step 7) within approximately 45 seconds of the INS_SBY GLI3 (step 6) to make sure neither card reboots with configuration files for operation with external BTS routers. If one GLI3 completes initialization before the other is reset, steps 1 and 2 must be repeated for each card and the cards reset again. Use the MMI reset command to reset the GLI3 card where the MMI cable is connected.

Perform the following within 45 seconds of resetting the INS_SBY GLI3 card: 1. 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the MMI cable from the INS_SBY GLI3 card Connect the MMI cable to the INS_ACT GLI3 card Press the Enter key to display the GLI3 > prompt Reset the card using the MMI reset command

NOTE
If the INS_ACT GLI3 card cannot be reset before the INS_SBY GLI3 card completes its reboot, perform steps 1 through 5 again for each card, reset the INS_SBY GLI3, and then reset the INS_ACT GLI3 card using the hardware RESET button on the front of each card. 8 When both cards complete their initialization after being reset, terminate the MMI communication session and disconnect the LMF computer from the GLI3 card.

NOTE
The remaining steps in this procedure must be performed within 50 minutes (redundant cards) or 25 minutes (nonredundant card) to prevent the GLI3 cards from automatically rebooting to their last known good operating mode. If cards selfinitiate configuration fall back before the OMCR takes control, the convert_ebr procedure in steps 1 through 8 must be performed again. 9 10 Disconnect the FE crossover cables interconnecting the external BTS router FE connectors (Table 5-9, step 9) and remove the cables from the routers. Connect the FE cabling between the external BTS router FE connectors and the BTS FE interface housing or ESM EXTERNAL connectors according to the cable markings and the applicable procedure in the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type. Crossconnect each external BTS router span cable or span Ycable to the specified site span in the termination equipment (refer to the span connection section of the packet backhaul upgrade manual for the BTS type).

Configuring BTS File Transfer Protocol Introduction Configuring BTS File Transfer Protocol Introduction
Motorola BTS models have used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer data to and from the OMCR since the introduction of packet data transport. Evolution of the traditional closed transport system to an Open Transport Interface (OTI) has emphasized the need to provide customers with increased security for data transfers. Motorola has incorporated Secure FTP (SFTP) into the CDMA Network Elements (NE) to address the problem of data security over open, unsecured networks. SFTP is supported on all Motorola NE and Operations Support Subsystems (OSS) beginning with CDMA software release 2.21.0. The LMF is equipped with a utility which is used to select either FTP or SFTP for information transfer between the BTS and the OMCR. This utility is only used at the cell site before communication is established with the OMCR to select the transfer protocol for a newly installed BTS (greenfield) or after replacement of a nonredundant GLI3 card.
LMF file transfer protocol setting utility

When the LMF is logged into a BTS, the file transfer protocol utility is available as the Secure FTP Settings selection under Util on the BTS tab menu bar . The Secure FTP Settings dialog box for the utility contains a number of selection items which are available depending on the protocol with which the BTS is operating. NOTE The protocol being used by the BTS is marked with a black dot in its radio button when the dialog box first opens.

Prepare to Leave the Site

continued

Table 6-7: Reset BTS Devices and Remote Site Initialization Step 3 Action From the BTS site, contact the OMCR and request the operator to PREACTIVATE the BTS to the required software version for the BSS. There are two types of PREACTIVATE load processes: Rolling Upgrade: This load process is only available when the BTS cards are populated for full redundancy as applicable. Quick Reboot: This process is used when there is not full redundancy for the BTS cards. The GLI3 will disable and reboot to the new load. This will cause all the other cards to go out of service. Once it is rebooted, the GLI3 determines which cards require a new load and then downloads the cards in the order which they establish communication with the GLI3 following their reboot. The GLI3 can reload up to 16 devices simultaneously.

NOTE
Upon its first initialization with R18.0 or later RAM code, a packet GLI3 card will reallocate flash memory space for a duplicate copy of the bootROM code. It will then write a redundant copy of the code image to the new memory area. Visual indication of this process is provided by the STA LED flashing orange at 0.5 second intervals. This onetime process can cause the card to require up to 17 minutes to complete initialization to an INS state. Once the redundant image is created on the card, the extended 17minute upgrade process will not be repeated, even if the card is later downgraded to preR18.0 software. Wait at least 17 minutes for the card to complete this operation and/or the STA indicator to change to slow flashing green before attempting to proceed with the next step. 4 Account for all tools used and parts removed from the frame during the operations, being sure none were left inside the frame. Visually inspect the frame for any foreign objects left inside, and remove any discovered. Visually inspect all cable connections, ensuring they are connected as required for normal BTS operation. Be sure all internal frame cables are routed and secured to prevent damage to them when the frame doors are closed. Close and secure the cabinet doors. Verify no alarm conditions are being reported to the OMCR with the frame doors closed. After all activities at the site have been completed, contact the OMCR and confirm that the BTS is under OMCR control.

Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist


Problem Description

Many of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) card failures may be resolved in the field before sending the cards to the factory for repair. This section describes known CSM problems identified in field returns, some of which are field-repairable. Check these problems before returning suspect CSM cards.
No GPS Reference Source

Correct Hardware Check the CSM cards for proper hardware configuration for the type of GPS in use and the cage slot where they are installed. RFGPS (Local GPS) CSM kit SGLN1145, which should be installed in card slot l, has an oncard GPS receiver; while kit SGLN4132, in card slot 2, does not have a GPS receiver. Remote GPS (RGPS) Kit SGLN4132ED or later, which should be installed in both card slot 1 and card slot 2, does not have a GPS receiver. Any incorrectly configured card must be returned to the repair center. Do not attempt to change hardware configuration in the field. GPS Subsystem Installation Perform the following: 1. Inspect the GPS antenna and cabling for damage, water leaks, or loose connections. 2. Verify that the GPS antenna and lightning arrestor have not been damaged by lightning strikes. 3. Verify that the GPS antenna has a clear view to the sky. The GPS antenna should ideally have a clear view in all directions for elevations above 20 degrees from the horizon. Suitable GPS operation can be realized with as much as a 50 percent blockage in visibility. Any decrease in visibility greater than 50 percent will likely result in increased numbers of GPS reference source failure alarms.

Takes Too Long for CSM to Come INS

Investigate the following to identify the source of delays in CSM cards reaching the INS state: GPS acquisition delay This problem may be caused by a delay in GPS acquisition. Check the accuracy flag status and/or current position. Refer to the CSM System time GPS, LFR and HSO/MSO verification section in Chapter 3. At least one satellite should be visible and tracked for the surveyed mode and four satellites should be visible and tracked for the estimated mode. Also, verify correct base site position data used in surveyed mode. GPS satellite reception problems Delays in bringing CSM cards INS are usually due to GPS satellite reception problems. Verify that the GPS antenna is provided with a clear view to the sky. The GPS antenna should ideally have a clear view in all directions for elevations above 20 degrees to the horizon. Suitable GPS operation can be realized with as much as a 50% blockage in visibility. Any decrease in visibility beyond 50% will likely result in increased CSM initialization times. Antenna system path losses Verify that no more than a 10dB signal loss at a 1.575GHz frequency is present between the GPS antenna and RF modem frame GPS antenna input. The total GPS antenna system noise figure (including all preamplifiers, cabling and splitter losses) must be less than 4.0dB. Higher GPS antenna system noise figures will result in degraded GPS receiver performance. Antenna location coordinates Verify that the GPS antenna coordinate information contained in the BTS CDF or NEC file is accurate. The <BtsLatGps>, <BtsLongGps> and <BtsHeightGps> should be within +/200m in the estimated mode and +/30m in the surveyed mode. The surveyed mode should only be used when absolutely necessary.

Troubleshooting: CCCP Backplane Troubleshooting: CCCP Backplane


Introduction

The CCCP backplane is a multilayer board that interconnects all the CCCP 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 information allows the CFE to:

S Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem


type.

S Isolate problems to a specific cable or connector.


Primary A and Redundant B Inter Shelf Bus Connectors The 40 pin Inter Shelf Bus (ISB) connectors provide an interface bus from the master GLI to all other GLIs in the modem frame. Their basic function is to provide clock synchronization from the master GLI to all other GLIs in the frame. The ISB also provides the following functions:

S Span line grooming when a single span is used for multiple cages. S MMI connection to/from the master GLI to cell site modem. S Interface between GLIs and the AMR (for reporting BTS alarms).
Span Line Connector The 50pin span line connector provides a primary and secondary (if used) span line interface to each GLI in the CCCP shelf. The span line is used for MM/EMX switch control of the Master GLI and also all the BBX traffic. Primary A and Redundant B Reference Distribution Module Input/Output The Reference Distribution Module (RDM) connectors route the 3 MHz reference signals from the CSMs to the GLIs and all BBXs in the backplane.

Power Supply Interface Each CCCP power supply has a series of three different connectors to provide the needed inputs/outputs to the CCCP backplane. These include a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pin interface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The CCCP Power Supplies convert +27 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, and +5.0 Volts to be used by the CCCP shelf cards. For 48V BTS only, the power supply modules convert 48 Volts to a regulated +27 Volts. GLI Connector This connector consists of a Harting 4SU digital connector and a 6conductor coaxial connector for RDM distribution. The connectors provide inputs/outputs for the GLIs in the CCCP backplane. GLI 10Base2 Ethernet A and B Connections These BNC connectors are located on the CCCP backplane and routed to the GLI board. This interface provides all the control and data communications between the master GLI and the other GLI, between gateways, and for the LMF on the LAN. BBX Connector Each BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connector and two 6conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC, digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the CCCP backplane. MCIO Connectors

S RX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX TriFilters 7

Perform the procedure in Table 7-26 to troubleshoot a DC input voltage to power supply module failure. WARNING Potentially lethal voltage and current levels are routed to the BTS equipment. This test must be carried out with a second person present, acting in a safety role. Remove all rings, jewelry, and wrist watches prior to beginning this test.

No DC Input Voltage to Power Supply Module Table 7-26: No DC Input Voltage to Power Supply Module Step 1 2 Verify DC power is applied to the BTS frame. Verify there are no breakers tripped. If a breaker has tripped, remove all modules from the applicable shelf supplied by the breaker and attempt to reset it. If the breaker trips again, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame. If the breaker does not trip, there is probably a defective module or subassembly within the shelf. 3 4 Verify that the CCCP shelf breaker on the BTS frame breaker panel is functional. Use a voltmeter to determine if the input voltage is being routed to the CCCP backplane by measuring the DC voltage level on the PWR_IN cable. If the voltage is not present, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame. If the voltage is present at the connector, reconnect and measure the level at the VCC power feed clip on the distribution backplane. If the voltage is correct at the power clip, inspect the clip for damage. 48 V configuration only If everything appears to be correct, visually inspect the power supply module and verify LEDs are green. 48 V configuration only If LED is red, then replace the power suppy module with a known good module and verify LEDs are green. If steps 1 through 5 fail to indicate a problem, a CCCP backplane failure (possibly an open trace) has occurred. Action

Troubleshooting: GLI3 card continually reboots after converting to satellite backhaul Troubleshooting: GLI3 card continually reboots after converting to satellite backhaul
At times, a GLI3 card which should have been converted to satellite backhaul will continuously reboot and display MMI messages similar to the following:
Reset due Backhaul Reset due Backhaul DHCP attempt timed Reset due Backhaul timeout timeout out timeout

This condition can occur when the GLI3 card(s) backhaul type has not actually changed to satellite with associated longer timeout periods. In this situation, the BTS can appear INS_ACTIVE at the OMCR but will be generating communication alarms such as Packet Backhaul Down. The BTS and OMCR will be unable to communicate. Because of this, a site visit is needed to correct this condition. This procedure can also be used to preconfigure a GLI3 card for satellite backhaul before commissioning or converting a BTS.
Prerequisites

The following are required to perform the corrective procedure:

S Laptop computer with at least one serial port or laptop computer S One of the following:
Motorola cable part number CGDSMMICABLE219112 (see Figure 3-8 for connection)

meeting the LMF computer platform requirements specified in the BTS optimization/ATP manual

Fabricated DB9 receptacleto8 contact MMI connector cable (see the MMI Cable Fabrication Section of Appendix K for fabrication instructions and Figure 3-8 for connection) SLN2006A MMI Interface Kit (see Figure 3-9) (this kit is no longer available to order), consisting of the following: Motorola Model TRN9666A null modem board Motorola 3009786R01 MMI cable or equivalent

Module Status Indicators

Each of the non-passive plug-in modules has a bi-color (green & red) LED status indicator located on the module front panel. The indicator is labeled PWR/ALM. If both colors are turned on, the indicator is yellow. Each plug-in module, except for the fan module, has its own alarm (fault) detection circuitry that controls the state of the PWR/ALM LED. The fan TACH signal of each fan module is monitored by the AMR. Based on the status of this signal, the AMR controls the state of the PWR/ALM LED on the fan module.
LED Status Combinations for All Modules (except GLI, CSM, BBX, MCC)

PWR/ALM LED The following list describes the states of the module status indicator.

S Solid GREEN module operating in a normal (fault free) condition. S Solid RED module is operating in a fault (alarm) condition due to
electrical hardware failure. Note that a fault (alarm) indication may or may not be due to a complete module failure and normal service may or may not be reduced or interrupted.
DC/DC Converter LED Status Combinations

The PWR CNVTR has alarm (fault) detection circuitry that controls the state of the PWR/ALM LED. This is true for both the CCCP and PA power converters. PWR/ALM LED The following list describes the states of the bi-color LED.

S Solid GREEN module operating in a normal (fault free) condition. S Solid RED module is operating in a fault (alarm) condition due to

For detailed descriptions of displayed state/alarm indications refer to Figure 3-11 and Front Panel LED and Status Displays in the CSM System Time GPS, LFR, and HSO/MSO Verification section of Chapter 3. FREQ Monitor Connector A test port provided at the CSM front panel via a BNC receptacle allows monitoring of the 19.6608 MHz clock generated by the CSM. When both CSM 1 and CSM 2 are in an in-service (INS) condition, the CSM 2 clock signal frequency is the same as that output by CSM 1. The clock is a sine wave signal with a minimum amplitude of +2 dBm (800 mVpp) into a 50 load connected to this port. SYNC Monitor Connector A test port provided at the CSM front panel via a BNC receptacle allows monitoring of the Even Second Tick reference signal generated by the CSMs. At this port, the reference signal is a TTL active high signal with a pulse width of 153 nanoseconds.

PN Offset Background

B
All channel elements transmitted from a BTS in a particular 1.25 MHz CDMA channel are orthonogonally spread by 1 of 128 possible Walsh code functions; additionally, they are also spread by a quadrature pair of PN sequences unique to each sector. Overall, the mobile uses this to differentiate multiple signals transmitted from the same BTS (and surrounding BTS) sectors, and to synchronize to the next strongest sector. The PN offset per sector is stored on the BBXs, where the corresponding I & Q registers reside. The PN offset values are determined on a per BTS/per sector(antenna) basis as determined by the appropriate cdf file content. A breakdown of this information is found in Table B-1.

PN Offset Usage

Only the 14chip delay is currently in use. It is important to determine the RF chip delay to be able to test the BTS functionality. This can be done by ascertaining if the CDF file FineTxAdj value was set to on when the MCC was downloaded with image data. The FineTxAdj value is used to compensate for the processing delay (approximately 20 mS) in the BTS using any type of mobile meeting IS97 specifications. If the FineTxAdj value in the cdf file is 213 (D5 HEX), FineTxAdj has been set for the 14 chip table. NOTE CDF file I and Q values can be represented in DECIMAL or HEX. If using HEX, add 0x before the HEX value. If necessary, convert HEX values in Table B-1 to decimal before comparing them to cdf file I & Q value assignments.

FRU Optimization/ATP Test Matrix FRU Optimization/ATP Test Matrix


Usage & Background

Periodic maintenance of a site may also may mandate reoptimization of specific portions of the site. An outline of some basic guidelines is included in the following tables. NOTE Reoptimization steps listed for any assembly detailed in the tables below must be performed anytime an RF cable associated with it is replaced.

BTS Frame Table C-1: When RF Optimization Is required on the BTS Item Replaced CCCP Shelf Optimize All sector TX and RX paths to all Combined CDMA Channel Processor (CCCP) shelves. The three or six affected sector RX paths for the CCCP shelf in the BTS frames. RX and TX paths of the affected CCCP shelf / BBX board. All RX and TX paths of the affected CDMA carrier. The affected sector TX path. The affected sector TX path. The affected sector TX path.

Multicoupler/ Preselector Card BBX board CIO Card Any LPA Module LPA Backplane LPA Filter Ancillary Frame Item Replaced Directional Coupler Site filter

Optimize All affected sector RX and TX paths to all BTS frame shelves. All affected RX sector paths in all shelves in all BTS frames.

Inter-frame Cabling Optimization must be performed after the replacement of any RF cabling between BTS frames. Table C-2: When to Optimize Interframe Cabling Item Replaced Optimize The affected sector/antenna RX paths. The affected sector/antenna TX paths. Ancillary frame to BTS frame (RX) cables BTS frame to ancillary frame (TX) cables
Detailed Optimization/ATP Test Matrix

Table C-3 outlines in more detail the tests that would need to be performed if one of the BTS components were to fail and be replaced. It is also assumed that all modules are placed OOSROM via the LMF until full redundancy of all applicable modules is implemented. The following guidelines should also be noted when using this table. IMPORTANT

Not every procedure required to bring the site back on line is indicated in Table C-3. It is meant to be used as a guideline ONLY. The table assumes that the user is familiar enough with the BTS Optimization/ATP procedure to understand which test equipment set ups, calibrations, and BTS site preparation will be required before performing the Table # procedures referenced.

Various passive BTS components (such as the TX and RX directional couplers, Preselector IO, CIO; etc.) only call for a TX or RX calibration audit to be performed in lieu of a full path calibration. If the RX or TX path calibration audit fails, the entire RF path calibration will need to be repeated. If the RF path calibration fails, further troubleshooting is warranted. Whenever any CCCP BACKPLANE is replaced, it is assumed that only power to the CCCP shelf being replaced is turned off via the breaker supplying that shelf. Whenever any DISTRIBUTION BACKPLANE is replaced it is assumed that the power to the entire RFM frame is removed and the Preselector I/O is replaced. The modem frame should be brought up as if it were a new installation.

NOTE If any significant change in signal level results from any component being replaced in the RX or TX signal flow paths, it would be identified by rerunning the RX and TX calibration audit command. When the CIO is replaced, the CCCP shelf remains powered up. The BBX boards may need to be removed, then reinstalled into their original slots, and redownloaded (code and BLO data). RX and TX calibration audits should then be performed.

BBX Gain Set Point vs. BTS Output Considerations BBX Gain Set Point vs. BTS Output Considerations
Usage & Background

Table 3-22 outlines the relationship between the total of all code domain channel element gain settings (digital root sum of the squares) and the BBX Gain Set Point between 33.0 dBm and 44.0 dBm. The resultant RF output (as measured at the top of the BTS in dBm) is shown in the table. The table assumes that the BBX Bay Level Offset (BLO) values have been calculated. As an illustration, consider a BBX keyed up to produce a CDMA carrier with only the Pilot channel (no MCCs forward link enabled). Pilot gain is set to 262. In this case, the BBX Gain Set Point is shown to correlate exactly to the actual RF output anywhere in the 33 to 44 dBm output range. (This is the level used to calibrate the BTS).

Calculating 1900 MHz Center Frequencies

continued

Table E-1 shows selected 1900 MHz CDMA candidate operating channels, listed in both decimal and hexadecimal, and the corresponding transmit, and receive frequencies. Center frequencies (in MHz) for channels not shown in the table may be calculated as follows:

S TX = 1930 + 0.05 * Channel# S RX = TX 80

Example: Channel 262 TX = 1930 + 0.05 * 262 = 1943.10 MHz Example: Channel 262 RX = 1943.10 50 = 1863.10 MHz

Actual frequencies used depend on customer CDMA system frequency plan. Each CDMA channel requires a 1.77 MHz frequency segment. The actual CDMA carrier is 1.23 MHz wide, with a 0.27 MHz guard band on both sides of the carrier. Minimum frequency separation required between any CDMA carrier and the nearest NAMPS/AMPS carrier is 900 kHz (center-to-center). Table E-1: 1900 MHz TX and RX Frequency vs. Channel

Test Equipment Setup: Agilent E7495 Test Equipment Setup: Agilent E7495
Initial Requirement

This test equipment requires a warm-up period of at least 30 minutes before BTS testing or calibration begins.
Using the Agilent E7495A/B with the LMF

The Agilent E7495 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 E7495 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 in the test set as described in Table F-1. Table F-1: Set IP Address on Agilent E7495 test set n Step 1 Action Use the System Button > Controls > IPAdmin to set an IP address on the E7495A/B as 128.0.0.11, and Netmask to 255.255.255.128 . If the IP addressed was changed, reboot the E7495 For compatibility, change the LMF computer Network Interface Card (NIC) IP address to 128.0.0.48, subnetmask 255.255.255.128.

Cable Calibration

Follow the directions in the LMF application program to calibrate cables. Additional cable calibration details Calibrate the short cable (see Figure 3-27) and two 10 dB attenuators to establish a baseline and then calibrate the TX and RX setups. Because at least 40 dB of attenuation is needed when testing the FER, the setup for RX is the same as for TX.

Transmit & Receive Antenna VSWR Transmit & Receive Antenna VSWR
Purpose

The following procedures will verify that the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of all antennas and associated feed lines fall within acceptable limits. The tests will be performed on all antennas in a sequential manner (i.e., ANT 1, then ANT 2) until all antennas/feedlines have been verified. These procedures should be performed periodically by measuring each respective antennas VSWR (reflected power) to verify that the antenna system is within acceptable limits. This will ensure continued peak system performance. The antenna VSWR will be calculated at the CDMA carrier frequency assigned to each antenna. Record and verify that they meet the test specification of less than or equal to 1.5:1. NOTE Motorola recommends that the installer be familiar with the following procedure in its entirety before beginning the actual procedure. Ensure that the entire site is currently not in service. This test is used to test RX antennas by substituting RX frequencies for TX frequencies. Study the site engineering documents and perform the following tests only after first verifying that the RF cabling configuration required to interconnect the BTS frames and antennas meet requirements called out in the BTS Installation Manual.
Test equipment

The following pieces of test equipment will be required to perform this test: S LMF S Directional coupler S Communications test set WARNING Prior to performing antenna tests, insure that no CDMA BBX channels are keyed. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or serious equipment damage.
Equipment Setup and Measurement Procedure Advantest R3465

Follow the procedure in Table G-1 to set up test equipment required to measure and calculate the VSWR for each antenna.

In Service Calibration Overview In Service Calibration Overview


Purpose

This procedure is a guide to expanding your system with multiple carriers while the system remains in service. This procedure also allows you to perform on site maintenance (replace defective boards and recalibrate) while the remainder of the site stays in service. Motorola recommends that you perform this procedure during a maintenance window. This procedure cannot be performed on BTSs with 4to1 combiners. The procedure can only be performed on one side of the BTS at one time. That is, LPAs 1, 2 ,3, 7, 8, 9 (feed antennas 1, 2, 3) can be calibrated while LPAs 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 (feed antennas 4, 5, 6) remain in service and vice versa.
Equipment Warm up

CAUTION If any piece of test equipment (i.e., test cable, RF adapter) has been replaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do so could introduce measurement errors, causing incorrect measurements and degradation to system performance.

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.

Power Delta Calibration Power Delta Calibration


Power Delta Calibration Introduction

The Inservice calibration procedure has several differences from a normal calibration procedure. One of these is the use of a spectrum analyzer instead of a power meter to measure power. Power meters are broadband measurement devices and cannot be used to measure power during Inservice Calibration since other carriers are operating. A spectrum analyzer can be used because it measures power at a given frequency. However, measuring power using a spectrum analyzer is less accurate than using a power meter. Therefore, you must compensate for the difference (delta) between the power meter and the spectrum analyzer.

Overview

CAUTION This feature does NOT have fault tolerance at this time. The system has no safeguards to stop you from doing something that will take the BTS out of service. If possible, perform this procedure during a maintenance window. Follow the procedures in this section precisely, otherwise the entire BTS will most likely go OUT OF SERVICE. At the CBSC, only perform operations on expansion hardware when it is in the OOS_MANUAL state. The operator must be trained in the LMF operation prior to performing this procedure. Prerequisites S Expansion hardware has been added in the CBSC database, and the CDF file has been generated. S The expansion devices have been inserted into the CCCP cage and are in the OOS_MANUAL state at the CBSC. S The site specific cdf (with the expansion hardware) and cal files have been loaded onto the LMF. S The LMF has the same code and dds files as the CBSC to download. CAUTION Do not download code or data to any cards other than those you are working on. Downloading code or data to other cards will take the site OUT OF SERVICE. The code file version numbers must match the version numbers on the other cards in the frame. If the numbers do not match, the site may go OUT OF SERVICE.

Creating a Terminal Session

General Confirming or changing the configuration data of External BTS Routers (EBR) an certian BTS Field Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing a ManMachine Interface (MMI) communication session between a laptop computer and the FRU or EBR. Using features of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI session can be saved on the laptop computer as a named HyperTerminal connection. This elminiates the need for setting up connection parameters each time an MMI session is required to support operations. Desktop Shortcut Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on the Windows operating system desktop. Double clicking the shortcut icon will start the connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.
Terminal Settings

Perform the following to create a named HyperTerminal connection for FRU or EBR MMI interface and generate a Windows operating system desktop shortcut for it. NOTE There are differences between the Windows 2000 and Windows XT operating systems in the menus and screens used for creating a HyperTerminal connection.

Obtaining BTS Router Minimum (Canned) Configuration Files

After they are generated on the OMCR, the BTS router canned configuration files must be transferred to another computer platform from which they can be installed into the BTS routers. A number of procedures may be used to move the canned configuration files from the OMCR to a platform from which they can be loaded into the routers. Some alternatives are: 1. If a floppy diskette drive is available at the OMCR, such as the one for UNO workstations, the configuration files can be transferred to an LMF computer or similar machine using the NEC file transfer procedure in the Preparing the LMF section of the optimization/ATP manual. Directories identified in Table J-3 must be used rather than those in the NEC file transfer procedure. 2. If a Windows operating systembased server connection is available in the operators network and it can provide an FTP or telnet connection to the OMCR, files may be transferred by either the FTP or telnet methods. 3. If a dialup connection is available for accessing the OMCR, an FTP or telnet session may be possible to transfer files to the computer used to load the CF memory cards. The procedure provided in this section covers FTP transfer using a Windows operating systembased server in the operators network. Coordinate with the local network administrator to determine the method and procedure to use on a specific network.
Prerequisites

The following must be obtained from the local network administrator before performing the canned configuration file FTP procedure in Table J-3:

S User ID and password to log onto the OMCR S Name of the subdirectory where the specific BTS router group
canned configuration files to be downloaded were created

FTP File Transfer from the OMCR

This procedure uses the Windows operating systembased LMF computer platform to download BTS router canned configuration files from the OMCR. Follow the procedure in Table J-3. Table J-3: BTS Router Canned Configuration File FTP Transfer from the OMCR Step 1 2 3 4 Action If it has not been done, create a directory on the LMF computer where the BTS router canned configuration files will be stored. If it has not been done, obtain the OMCR logon user ID and password from the local network administrator. Connect the LMF computer to the local network and log on.

NOTE
This procedure uses the command line FTP client supplied with the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems; however, any commercially available FTP client application can be used. Follow the manufacturers instructions for operation of an alternative application. Open a command line (MS DOS) window by clicking on Start > Programs > Command Prompt.

When the command line window opens, change to the directory where the canned configuration files will be stored on the LMF computer by entering:
cd pathname

BTS Router IOS Version Verification and Canned Configuration File Installation BTS Router IOS Version Verification and Canned Configuration File Installation
Introduction

Overview This section covers the procedures and commands required to verify the IOS version loaded on BTS router CF memory cards and copy standard canned configuration files to the routers. Because of the setup required and the length of some of the procedures, Motorola recommends performing the actions covered in this section at a central location to prepare the BTS routers for installation prior to the site visit. IOS Version Verification and File Sequence Position Version verification The IOS version loaded on the BTS router CF memory card should be verified as the version required for operation on the network where the routers will be installed. If the loaded IOS version is not correct, it can be replaced with a different version. There are several methods available to accomplish version verification. These depend on the equipment and software applications the user selects to use in installing the canned configuration files in the BTS routers. Appropriate verification procedures are included in each of the two canned configuration installation methods covered in this section. Methods to change or upgrade the loaded IOS version are provided in the Change or Upgrade BTS Router IOS Version section of this appendix and are referenced at the appropriate places in the canned configuration installation methods. File sequence position During initialization, the MWR 190027 or MWR 1941DC router will first search the startupconfig file for a boot system command line telling it in what directory and file to find the boot loader. If this line is not found, the router will default to attempting to boot from the first file in its flash memory. Flash memory for the MWR 190027 or MWR 1941DC is the CF memory card (software identifier slot0:). The canned configuration files used for BTS router installation do not contain a boot system command line because of the need to maintain flexibility for IOS version changes. Because of this, it is critical that the IOS file is the first file listed on the CF memory card. The canned configuration installation procedures contain steps to assure that this is the case, and, if it is not, provide guidance to correct the condition. It is important to remember that, if the router boots and displays a rommon 1 > prompt, the IOS file is missing, out of sequence, has a corrupted flash memory image or the startupconfig file contains a boot system line which specifies a missing or incorrect IOS pathname/filename.

BTS Router IOS Version Verification and Canned Configuration File Installation continued
Canned Configuration File Installation Filename and installation location requirements The canned configuration files for the BTS routers must be copied to the CF memory card. The filename of the file on the CF memory card must be cannedconfig. Canned configuration file location and filename requirements are a result of Mobile Wireless Center (MWC) actions during the process of switching a BTS from packet to circuit mode or during BTS reparenting to another OMCR. In this process, the MWC will query the BTS routers slot0: directory for a file named cannedconfig. A missing or misnamed file will cause problems with execution of the modeswitching process. Installation Method The startupconfig configuration file used by the BTS router during initialization is stored in NVRAM. This is a memory device internal to the router and is separate from the CF memory card. To install the canned configuration file so the router will use it during bootup, the file must be copied into the startupconfig file in NVRAM. This requires copying the canned configuration file from the Windows operating systembased LMF computer to the CF memory card installed in a router, and then copying it to the startupconfig file in the routers NVRAM. The only Motorolasupported method to copy files to the BTS router CF memory card is through tftp file transfer. CAUTION Motorola does not support using a CF memory card reader to copy files to the BTS router CF memory card. Do not use a CF memory card reader for either of the following actions: S Formatting a BTS router CF memory card

S Copying files to a BTS router CF memory card

CAUTION Do not format BTS router CF memory cards using a CF memory card reader. Only format CF memory cards in a BTS router. Using a card reader to format the CF memory card will result in improper BTS router initialization which requires special recovery procedures.

! CAUTION
In this step, do not delete the IOS and cannedconfig files from the CF memory card. The BTS router must have these files on the card to properly boot or switch between packet and circuit mode. If additional unnecessary files, such as a backup of the startupconfig file, are also on the CF memory card, delete them by repeating steps 22 through 24 for each file.

26

If no other BTS router file operations or configuration actions are required, perform the following: 1. Remove power from the router and disconnect it from the power supply. 2. Disconnect all cabling from the BTS router. 3. On the LMF computer, exit the HyperTerminal communications session.

Recovery from BTS Router Boot to ROMmon Recovery from BTS Router Boot to ROMmon
Introduction

ROM monitor boot conditions Under certain circumstances the BTS router will initialize with the ROM monitor (ROMmon) operating system rather than the IOS. These circumstances include:

S The hexadecimal value in the routers configuration register has been S IOS file is missing from the CF memory card S IOS file is not the first file on the CF memory card S Startupconfig file contains an outdated boot system line specifying
an IOS file which has been replaced with an updated version error(s) in the IOS filename

changed from the factory default (can change the location from where the router attempts to load code for bootup).

S Startupconfig file contains boot system line with typographical S IOS file image on the CF memory card is corrupted
Description Router operation on ROMmon is signalled by the display of the rommon # > prompt, where # is a number which increments each time a command is issued. ROMmon is a lowlevel operating system which provides limited capabilities for router testing and troubleshooting operations, including viewing directory contents and booting from a specified file. Recovery methods Two recovery methods are included in this section. The first is the simplest and requires that a valid, uncorrupted IOS version is installed on the CF memory card. The second method requires additional equipment and must be used in instances when an IOS file is not installed on the CF memory card or the installed IOS image is corrupted.
Simple Recovery from Boot to ROMmon

Requirements Unless it is certain that the IOS image on the CF memory card is corrupted, this method should always be the first tried for router recovery from ROMmon initialization. This method does not require any additional equipment beyond the items necessary to load canned configuration files into the BTS router. To be effective, this method does require that a valid, uncorrupted IOS image file is installed on the routers CF memory card.

Requirements If ROMmon boot recovery attempts fail using the simple recovery method, this method must be used to reboot a BTS router which has initialized with ROMmon. This method requires additional equipment beyond the items necessary to load canned configuration files into the BTS router. Extended recovery requires formatting the CF memory card from the ROMmoninitialized router and reloading the reformatted CF memory card with the required IOS version. Additional equipment required An additional, formatted, 32 MB CF memory card with the required version of the IOS installed is required in addition to the equipment and software required for BTS router canned configuration installation. This card may be:

S A spare CF memory card which is loaded with the required IOS


version

S A CF memory card from an additional BTS router which is loaded


with the required IOS version Recovery Follow the procedure in Table J-12 to perform an extended recovery from a BTS router ROMmon initialization. Table J-12: Extended Recovery from BTS Router ROMmon Boot Step 1 Action This procedure assumes the BTS router is powered and operating on ROMmon with the LMF computer set up and connected to the router with an active HyperTerminal communication session. If it is not, follow the procedure in Table J-2 to establish a HyperTerminal communication session. Remove the CF memory card from the BTS router following the procedure in Table J-16.

OTI Overview OTI Overview


OTI employs the packet BTS Ethernet transport interface to provide customers an alternative to spantype transport. Customers can select the most costeffective highspeed IP Wide Area Network (WAN) available to them for use as backhaul between base stations and base station controllers. A Radio Access Network (RAN) can employ a mix of base stations equipped with span backhaul and OTIequipped base stations at the same time. Figure L-1: OTI Base Station Functional Block Diagram

OTI Link Confidence Check OTI Link Confidence Check


Acquisition, installation, certification, and maintenance of the BTS edge device and the associated WAN for control and bearer traffic transport is the responsibility of the customer. Before connecting the BTS edge device to the BTS external Ethernet interface, however, a check of the edge device, interconnecting cabling for the BTS, and connectivity with the RAN core router should be performed to provide confidence that the BTS will be able to communicate with the RAN.
Performing the check

Perform the following to accomplish an operational confidence check of the network operatorprovided OTI link. This procedure also verifies the BTS edge device cable connections. Table L-2: OTI Link Confidence Check Step 1 2 3 4 Action Be sure the WinLMF computer is booted to the desktop. If it has not been done, configure the WinLMF computer for TCP/IP operations in support of OTI testing by following the procedure in Table L-1 of this appendix. Open a command line interface (CLI) window on the computer (Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt). Enter the following command at the command prompt:
ipconfig /all

Step 11 12 13

Action Connect the other end of one cable to the computer NIC Ethernet connector. Verify Ethernet connectivity between the computer and BTS edge device by observing that the link lights for both the WinLMF computer NIC and the BTS edge device are lighted. In the command line window, ping the Default Gateway IP address using the following command (refer to the completed OTI configuration settings worksheet for the IP address):
ping <MLS_OTI_CON_HSRP_Logical_Addr>

14 15 16 17

Verify communication between the computer and the BTS edge device by observing that the activity light on the BTS edge device flickers at each ping attempt from the computer. Disconnect the BTS edge device cable from the WinLMF computer NIC. Repeat steps 11 through15 for each remaining Ethernet cable on the BTS edge device which will be connected to the BTS external Ethernet interface. When all BTS edge device cables and connectors required by the site documentation have been checked, disconnect the WinLMF computer from the BTS edge device.

NOTE
All Ethernet cables should remain connected to the BTS edge device connectors. 18 After successfully pinging the Default Gateway router on each edge device port to be used, reconfigure the WinLMF computer NIC with the original NIC settings recorded when filling out the Network Interface Card (NIC) configuration worksheet.

! CAUTION
If the BTS 10base2 LAN IP address and subnet mask for the WinLMF computers NIC are not restored, the WinLMF can not log into a BTS when attempting to perform a BTS optimization or ATP.
