Manual Scope and Layout
This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of the Motorola 1X SCt4812T–Lite BTS frame. The
following subjects are addressed: preliminary background information;
optimization and alarm/redundancy tests; Acceptance Test Procedures
(ATP) to verify site operation and regulation compliance; site turnover;
troubleshooting.
This optimization procedure consists of a group of task-oriented tests.
Each major test category (Audit, Initial power–up, Calibration, etc.) is
described in chapters which are broken down into multi-page
information “maps.”
Each “map” contains the information necessary to perform the test or
operation. Included are all required input levels, output levels, Local
Maintenance Facility (LMF) application software commands, and test
point identification. Also described are important test process concepts
and equipment operation which should be understood by the operator.
Whenever possible, graphics, flowcharts, or written examples
complement the information or procedural steps.
Assumptions and Prerequisites
This document assumes that the BTS frames and cabling have been
installed per the 1X SC 4812T–Lite BTS Hardware Installation ,
68P64115A16 which covers both the physical “bolt down” of the
SC 3812T–Lite frame and the specific cabling configurations.

Purpose of the Optimization 68P64115A18–1

DRAFT

Purpose of the Optimization
Why Optimize?
Proper optimization and calibration ensures that:
SAccurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
SAccurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
What Is Optimization?
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. Site optimization guarantees that the combined
losses of the new 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 Optimization?
Overview – During optimization, 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 definitions – 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.
RF paths and transceiver optimization – Six of the seven Broad Band
Transceiver (BBX) boards in each CCP shelf are optimized to specific
RX and TX antenna connectors. The seventh BBX board acts in a
redundant capacity for BBX boards 1 through 6, and is optimized to all
antenna connectors. A single optimization 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
optimization values internally to adjust transceiver power levels, leaving
only site–specific antenna feedline loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining required site Effective

When to Optimize
New Installations
The following operations and optimization/test actions should be
accomplished for a new BTS or frame installation:
1. After the initial site installation, it must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial
power–up, downloading of operating code, verifying GPS operation,
and verifying transmit and receive paths.
2. Next, the optimization is performed. Optimization includes
performance verification and calibration of all transmit and receive
RF paths, and download of accumulated calibration data.
3. A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths may be performed any
time after optimization to verify BTS calibration.
4. After optimization, a series of manual pre–Acceptance Test
Procedure (ATP) verification tests are performed to verify
alarm/redundancy performance.
5. After manual pre–ATP verification tests, an ATP is performed to
verify BTS performance. An ATP is also required to demonstrate
regulation compliance before the site can be placed in service.
Site Expansion
Optimization is required after expansion of a site with additional BTS
frames.
Periodic Optimization
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
Repaired Sites
Refer to Appendix C for a detailed FRU Optimization/ATP Test Matrix
outlining the minimum tests that must be performed any time a BTS RF
subassembly or cable associated with an RF path is replaced.

Required Test Equipment and Software
Overview
Test equipment and software described in this section is required for the
optimization procedure. Common assorted tools such as screwdrivers
and frame keys are also needed. Read the owner’s manual for all of the
test equipment to understand its individual operation before using the
tool in the optimization.
Policy
To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable optimization test results,
test equipment and software meeting the following technical criteria
should be used to optimize the BTS equipment. Test equipment can, of
course, be substituted with other test equipment models if the equipment
meets the same technical specifications.
NOTE During manual testing, you can, of course, substitute test
equipment with other test equipment models not supported by
the LMF, but those models must meet the same technical
specifications.
It is the responsibility of the customer to account for any measurement
variances and/or additional losses/inaccuracies that can be introduced
as a result of these substitutions. Before beginning optimization or
troubleshooting, make sure that the test equipment needed is on–hand
and operating properly.
Test Equipment Calibration
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service and calibration prior to BTS optimization. Follow the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended maintenance and
calibration schedules closely.
Test Cable Calibration
Test cables can make critical differences in optimization accuracy. It is
recommended 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 itself. No other allowance for
test cable insertion loss needs to be made during the performance of
tests.
Another method to account for cable loss is by entering it into the LMF
during the optimization 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 field optimization.

BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
The 1X SCt4812T–Lite BTS frame consists of a single cabinet
containing RF and power amplifier components. The BTS may be
powered powered by:
S220 Vac (rectified internally to +27 Vdc)
S–48 Vdc (power converted internally to +27Vdc)
S+27 Vdc
Each frame can support up to two carriers in a 3–sector configuration.
Six–sector operation is not supported with any SC4812T Lite
configuration.
Figure 1-2 illustrates the external features of the BTS frame, the single
major component of the Motorola SC4812T Lite. The frame cabinet is
identical for starter and expansion frames except for the I/O interconnect
plate.
Frame Configurations
The SC4812T Lite is available in starter and expansion frame
configurations. Following are brief descriptions of each.
Starter frame configuration supports one or two carriers, each with
separate antenna sets. It can operate as a stand–alone BTS, or can be
modified in the field to the expansion frame configuration.
Expansion Frame configuration supports one or two carriers using 2:1
TX combiners and a single antenna set for the frame. It operates with an
SC4812T Lite starter frame which has its own antennas and different
carriers. Expansion frames share RX signals to provide diversity RX for
the opposite frame. Expansion frames allow equipping a single SC4812T
Lite site with up to four carriers.
Logical BTS
The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability. Previously, all
BTS frames co–located 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
SC 4812T 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/NECF 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
frames.

Logical BTS Numbering
The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1).
Other frames of the logical BTS are numbered with suffixes, –101, –201,
and –301 (e. g. BTS–812–201). 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., FRAME–282–1) for BTS–282. If a logical
BTS has more than one frame, there is a separate FRAME tab for each
frame (e.g. FRAME–438–1, FRAME–438–101, and FRAME–438–201
for a BTS–438 that has three frames). If an RFDS is included in the
CDF/NECF file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1) is displayed.
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.
SCCP 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 and Figure 1-4 for specific device ID numbers.

SCCP Cage Configuration and 1X Devices
SC 4812T Lite frames have one SCCP cage which will support up to
four MCC cards and six BBX cards.
MCC Cards
A BTS may be configured with a mix of MCC–8E, MCC–24E, and
MCC–1X cards. Any SCCP cage MCC card slot will support any of the
three MCC types. For 1X capability under R16.0, at least one MCC card
must be an MCC–1X which can be installed in any MCC card slot. In a
BSS operating with Software Release 2.16.0.84.3 and higher, MCC–1X
cards will support IS–95A and B traffic as well as CDMA2000 1X.
When operating with Software Release 2.16.0.5x.x, the MCC–1X cards
do not support IS–95A/B operation. For additional software release
compatibility and capability information, contact the local Motorola
account team.
BBX Cards
Up to six BBX cards of mixed BBX2s and BBX–1Xs can also be
supported. SCCP cage BBX2 card slots 1 through 6 are carrier– and
sector–dependent. As a result, the BBX slots dedicated to the sectors for
one carrier should be populated with the same type of cards. Refer to
Table 1-6 for BBX card slot carrier and sector correlations.
The SCCP cage R1 card slot is dedicated to the redundant BBX. This
slot will support either a BBX2 or a BBX–1X. If a cage has BBX–1X
carriers, the redundant BBX (BBXR) must be a BBX–1X card to provide
1X redundancy.
BBX–1X and BBX2 Interchangeability
In a BSS operating with R16.0 software, BBX–1X 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 BBX–1X, all remaining BBX2 cards for the carrier
supported by the replaced card must also be replaced with BBX–1X
cards.

Preliminary Operations: Overview
Introduction
This section first verifies proper frame equipage against the site-specific
documentation supplied for each BTS application. This includes
verifying module placement, jumper, and dual in–line package (DIP)
switch settings. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are
presented. Finally, power–down and normal power–up procedures are
covered.
Cell–site Types
Sites are configured as omni or up to 3–sectors – one or two carriers.
Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
CDF/NECF
The Configuration Data File (CDF) or Network Element Configuration
File (NECF) contains site type and equipage data information and passes
it directly to the LMF during optimization. The number of modem
frames, number and types of BBX and MCC boards, and linear power
amplifier assignments are some of the equipage data included in the
CDF/NECF.
NOTE Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and cbsc–#.cdf
files are used for the BTS. These should be the CDF/NECF files
that are provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF/NECF files can cause system errors. Failure to use
the correct CDF/NECF 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 frame.
CAUTION Always wear an approved anti–static wrist strap while handling
any circuit card/module to prevent damage by ESD. After
removal, the card/module should be placed on a conductive
surface or back into the anti–static packaging in which it was
shipped.

3Before proceeding, be sure the SCCP shelf power/converter modules PS1 and PS2 are correct by
verifying that the locking/retracting tabs appear as follows:
– (in +27 volt systems)
! CAUTION
Using the incorrect type of power/converter modules will damage the module, the SCCP shelf, and
other modules installed in the SCCP shelf.
4NOTE
In the following steps, if the DMM reads between 300 Ω minimum and 900 Ω maximum after
inserting any board/module, a low impedance problem probably exists in that board/module. Replace
the suspect board/module and repeat the test. If test still fails, isolate the problem before proceeding.
Insert and lock the PS1 DC–DC converter module into its slot, and and turn ON the PS1 DC circuit
breaker on the DC PDA.
5Resistance between the MAP (–) VOLT TEST POINT and the (–) AMP TEST POINT should
typically increase as capacitors charge, finally measuring between 300 Ω minimum and 900 Ω.

6Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the PS2 converter module/circuit breaker and all other remaining modules in
the SCCP shelf.
7On the DC PDA, set the PA 1A–1B circuit breaker to the ON position by pushing it in, and repeat step
5.
8Repeat step 7 for each of the three remaining PA circuit breakers.
9Carefully reconnect each PA cable one at a time. Repeat step 5 after reconnecting each cable.
– A typical response is that the ohmmeter will steadily climb in resistance as module input
capacitors charge, finally indicating between 300 Ω minimum and 900 Ω. maximum.
10 Set the Pilot Beacon, both Heat Exchanger, ETIB, and Options circuit breakers to ON one at a time.
Repeat step 5 after pushing in each circuit breaker.

Step Action
1Be sure all DC PDA and battery shelf circuit breakers are OFF (pulled out).
2Be sure the procedures in Table 2-3 (if applicable) and Table 2-5 have been performed.
3! CAUTION
When measuring voltage at the VOLT TEST POINTS, be careful not to short either of the test points
to ground. Failure to comply will result in severe damage to the MAP.
Measure voltage at the MAP VOLT TEST POINTS while pressing the 25° C SET button
(Figure 2-5). The voltage should read 27.4 + 0.2 Vdc. Adjust with the MASTER VOLTAGE ADJ. on
the MAP, if necessary, to obtain an indicated 27.4+0.2 Vdc. Release the 25° C SET button.
4Depending on the ambient temperature, the voltage reading may now change by up to + 1.5 V
compared to the reading just measured. If it is cooler than 25_C, the voltage will be higher, and if it is
warmer than 25_C, the voltage will be lower.
5Inside the battery compartment, measure the voltage between the cable connection point at the bottom
of the + (red) battery bus bar and chassis ground, observing that the polarity is correct. The voltage
should be the same as the measurement in step 4.
6Measure the voltage between the + (red) and – (black) battery bus bars in the battery compartment.
Place the probe at the bottom of the bus bars where the cables are connected. The DC voltage should
measure the same as in step 4.

Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
Table 2-7 lists the step–by–step instructions for testing the battery
charging performance.
Table 2-7: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
Step Action
1Close the battery shelf circuit breakers (NO TAG) for connected batteries only. This process should be
completed quickly to avoid individual battery strings drawing excess charge current
NOTE
If the batteries are sufficiently discharged, the battery circuit breakers may not engage individually
due to the surge current. If this condition occurs, disconnect the batteries from the 27Vdc bus by
setting the MAP power switch to OFF, and then engage all the connected battery circuit breakers.
The MAP power switch should then be turned ON.
2Using the clamp–on DC current probe and DMM, measure the current in each of the battery string
connections to the battery bus bars. The charge current may initially be high but should quickly
reduce in a few minutes if the batteries have a typical new–battery charge level.

Table 2-7: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
Step Action
NOTE
The MAP AMP display will indicate the total current output of the rectifiers during this procedure.
As an alternative, the bar graph meters on the AC rectifier modules can be used as a rough estimate of
the total battery charge current. Each rectifier module bar graph has eight (8) LED elements to
represent the output current. Each illuminated LED element indicates that approximately 12.5% (1/8
or 8.75 Amps) of an individual rectifier’s maximum current output (70 Amps) is flowing.
RECTIFIER BAR GRAPH EXAMPLE:
Question: A system fitted with three (3) rectifier modules each have three bar graph LED elements
illuminated. What is the total output current into the batteries?
Answer: Each bar graph is indicating approximately 12.5% of 70 amps, therefore, 3 x 8.75 equals
26.25 amps per rectifier. As there are three rectifiers, the total charge current is equal to (3 x 26.25 A)
78.75 amps.
This charge current calculation is only valid when the RF and PA compartment electronics are not
powered on, and the RF compartment heat exchanger is turned off. This can only be accomplished if
the DC PDA MAIN BREAKER is set to OFF.
3The current in each string should be approximately equal (within + 5 amps).
4Allow a few minutes to ensure that the battery charge current stabilizes before taking any further
action. Recheck the battery current in each string. If the batteries had a reasonable charge, the current
in each string should reduce to less than 5 amps.
5Recheck the DC output voltage. It should remain the same as measured in step 4 of the frame DC
Power Application and Test (Table 2-6).
NOTE
If discharged batteries are installed, the MAP AMP display may indicate approximately 288 amps for
a two–carrier frame (four rectifiers) or 216 amps for a single–carrier frame (three rectifiers).
Alternately, all bar graph elements may be lighted on the rectifiers during the charge test. Either
indication shows that the rectifiers are at full capacity and are rapidly charging the batteries. It is
recommended in this case that the batteries are allowed to charge and stabilize as in the above step
before commissioning the site. This could take several hours.
Battery Discharge Test
Perform the test procedure in Table 2-8 only when the battery current is
less than 5 Amps per string. Refer to Table 2-7 on the procedures for
checking current levels.
Table 2-8: Battery Discharge Test
Step Action
1Turn the BATT TEST switch on the MAP ON (Figure 2-5). The rectifier output voltage and current
should decrease by approximately 10% as the batteries assume the load. Alarms for the MAP may
occur.
2Measure the individual battery string current using the clamp–on DC current probe and DMM. The
battery discharge current in each string should be approximately the same (within + 5 amps).
3Turn BATT TEST switch OFF.

Introduction to Optimization and Calibration
Overview
This section describes procedures for isolating the BTS from the span
lines, preparing and using the LMF, downloading system operating
software, CSM reference verification/optimization, set up and calibration
of the supported test equipment, transmit/receive path verification, using
the RFDS, and verifying the customer defined alarms and relay contacts
are functioning properly.
NOTE Before using the LMF, use an editor to view the “CAVEATS”
section in the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf folder for any
applicable information.
Optimization Process Summary
After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations, such
as power up, have been completed, the LMF is used to optimize the
BTS. Companion frames must be optimized individually as separate
BTSs. The basic optimization process consists of the following:
1. Download MGLI (GLI–bts#–1) with application code and data and
then enable MGLI.
NOTE GLIs may be GLI2s or GLI3s.
2. Use the LMF status function and verify that all of the installed
devices of the following types respond with status information:
CSM, BBX, GLI, MCC8, and, if RFDS is installed, TSU or
RFDS–1X RPROC. If a device is installed and powered up but is
not responding and is colored gray in the BTS display, the device is
not listed in the CDF file. The CDF/NECF file must be corrected
before the device can be accessed by the LMF.
3. Download device application code and data to all devices of the
following types:
– CSM
– BBX
– Remaining GLI (GLI–bts#–2)
– MCC
4. Download the RFDS TSIC or RFDS–1X RPROC (if installed).
5. Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.
6. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
– Secondary CSM (slot CSM 2)
– Primary CSM (slot CSM 1)
– All MCCs
7. Using the LMF test equipment selection function, select the test
equipment to be used for the calibration.
8. Calibrate the TX and RX test cables if they have not previously been
calibrated with the LMF computer and software build which will be
used for the optimization/calibration. Cable calibration values can be
entered manually, if required.

9. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
10. Select all of the BBXs and all of the MCCs and use the full
optimization function. The full optimization function performs TX
calibration, BLO download, TX audit, all TX tests, and all RX tests
for all selected devices.
11. If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed
paths.
12. If the TX calibration fails again, troubleshoot and correct the
problem causing the failure, and repeat the full optimization for the
failed path.
13. If the TX calibration and audit portion of the full optimization passes
for a path but some of the TX or RX tests fail, troubleshoot and
correct the problem causing 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).
Sector/Sector sites are the three–sector configuration. The SC4812ET
Lite does not support six–sector operation. Each cell site type has unique
characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
NOTE For more information on the different in site types, please refer
to the applicable Hardware Installation manual.
CDF/NECF
The CDF/NECF (Configuration Data File/Network Element
Configuration File) contains information that defines the BTS and data
used to download files to the devices. A CDF/NECF file must be placed
in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used to log into that
BTS. CDF/NECF files are normally obtained from the CBSC using a
floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be used if the LMF
computer has that capability. Refer to the LMF Help function on–line
documentation for more information.
The CDF/NECF includes the following information:
SDownload instructions and protocol
SSite specific equipage information
SSCCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX equipage (based on cell–site type) including IS–95A/B or
CDMA2000 1X capability and redundancy
– CSM equipage including redundancy
– Multi Channel Card 24E, 8E, or –1X (MCC24E, MCC8E, or
MCC–1X) channel element allocation plan. This plan indicates how
the SCCP shelf is configured, and how the paging, synchronization,
traffic, and access channel elements (and associated gain values) are
assigned among the (up to 4) MCC24Es, MCC8Es, and/or
MCC–1Xs in the shelf.

transmit antenna based on site geography, antenna placement, and
government regulations. Working from this ERP requirement, antenna
gain and antenna feed line loss can be combined to calculate the
required transmit power at the frame antenna connections. The
corresponding BBX output power required to achieve that power level
on any channel/sector can then be determined based on Bay Level
Offset (BLO) data established during the optimization process.
NOTE Refer to Figure 3-1 and the LMF Help function on–line
documentation for additional information on the layout of the
LMF directory structure (including CDF/NECF file locations
and formats).
BTS System Software Download
BTS system software must be successfully downloaded to the BTS
processor boards before optimization can be performed. BTS operating
code is loaded from the LMF computer terminal.
BTSs configured for Circuit Backhaul use bts.cdf files. BTSs configured
for Packet Backhaul use bts.necf files (bts–xxx.xml) located on the
OMC/R.
NOTE Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf files for
the BTS must be obtained from the CBSC and put in a bts–#
folder in the LMF. Failure to use the correct CDF/NECF files
can cause wrong results. Failure to use the correct CDF/NECF
files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the
site.
The CDF/NECF is normally obtained from the CBSC on a DOS
formatted diskette, or through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the LMF
computer has ftp capability. Refer to the LMF Help function on–line
documentation for the procedure.
Site Equipage Verification
If you have not already done so, use an editor to view the CDF/NECF,
and review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage
data in the CDF/NECF matches the actual site hardware using a
CDF/NECF conversion table.
CAUTION – Use extreme care not to make any changes to the
CDF/NECF content while viewing the file. Changes to the
CDF/NECF can cause the site to operate unreliably or
render it incapable of operation.
– Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD. Extreme care should be taken during the removal
and installation of any card/module. After removal, the
card/module should be placed on a conductive surface or
back into the anti–static bag in which it was shipped.

BTS and CBSC used by LMF. In 16.1 Packet BTS, BTS with GLI3
booting in packet binary, the CDF is replaced by two new configuration
files called Network Element Configuration Base (NECB) and Network
Element Change Journal (NECJ). The NECB contains the baseline
configuration and is analogous to the CDF, while the NECJ contains all
the changes made to the configuration since the last time the NECB was
re–generated. Once the NECJ gets to 80% of its maximum size, the
NECB is re–generated and all the updates are rolled into it.
These files play much broader and vital role than previous CDF files.
GLI3 booting in circuit binaries works similar to R16.0.
A few LMF related important facts about these files are listed below.
SBoth files (NECB and NECJ) are in XML format.
SNECB 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.
SBoth 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 processor, but the XML tags will also be seen with them.
SThese files will be created by OMC–R from MIB as per the BTS
provisioning.
SThese files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on
the system for each BTS.
SThese files will reside on both OMC–R and Packet–GLI3 (unlike
CDF) and will be synchronized periodically between them.
SBoth NECB and NECJ file contain a “SoftwareVersion” field in their
header section indicating the system release version of these files.
SInstead of the bts#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses a bts#.XML file,
which is a copy of the NECB.XML file.
SPacket–GLI3 will need these files for site initialization.
SThe scope of NECB has grown much broader than CDF and has much
more BTS centric information. The use of generic version of these
files should be strictly avoided for the correct site initialization.

LMF Features and Installation Requirements
Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software
must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting
Motorola–specified requirements (see Recommended Test Equipment
and Software in Chapter 1).
NOTE For the LMF graphics to display properly, the computer platform
must be configured to display more than 256 colors. See the
operating system software instructions for verifying and
configuring the display settings.
Software and files for installing and updating the LMF are provided on
CD ROM disks. The following items must be available:
SLMF application program on CD ROM
SCDF/NECF for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
SCBSC File for each supported BTS (on floppy disk or CD ROM)
FTP Server
To be able to download files to the GLI3, the LMF now runs FTP server
on the LMF laptop. The LMF FTP server runs from the LMFs home
directory. All the files necessary to run the LMF FTP server are installed
from the LMF CD. The FTP server is automatically started by the LMF
upon successful Login to a Packet BTS.
In addition, the LMF provides a new option in the Tools menu called
FTP Server. The option starts the LMFs FTP server if Start is selected,
and stops the server if Stop is selected. The LMFs FTP server runs on
port 21. If any other process is using that port, the error message is
displayed to the user stating that the port is occupied. There is another
option under FTP Server menu called FTP Monitor, which allows the
user to watch FTP activity b/w the LMF and GLI.
Firewalls
Firewalls will block the FTP requests from the Packet GLI to the LMF
laptop. You must disable your firewall before attempting the BTS Synch
command. Some common firewall programs to look for include Network
ICE, BlackICE, Norton’s Desktop Firewall, Enterprise Firewall, and
Personal Firewall.
FTP Server Port in use
On some Windows 2000 installations, a process called “inetd.exe”
makes the FTP server port 21 unusable by the LMF. If the LMF reports
that the FTP server could not start because the port is in use, make sure
the inetd.exe is not running by using the Task Manager’s process list. If
inetd.exe is running, end the process by selecting it and clicking the
“End Process” button. Inetd32.exe is NOT the same and ending it will
not resolve this problem.

LMF File Structure Overview
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-nnn folders,
these folders are created as part of the LMF installation. Refer to the
CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide for a complete description of the folder
structure.
Figure 3-1: LMF Folder Structure
version folder (A separate folder is
required for each different version; for
example, a folder name 2.8.1.1.1.5.)

data folder
BTS–nnn folders (A separate folder is
required for each BTS where bts–nnn is the
unique BTS number; for example, bts–163.)
NOTE The “loads” folder and all the folders below it are not available
from the LMF for Software Release 2.16.1.x. These folders may
be present as as a legacy from previous software versions or
downloaded from the CBSC/OMC–R.

LMF Home Directory
The 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.

NECF Filename Conventions and Directory Location
NECF
The NECF actually consists of two files: the NECB and NECJ. The
naming convention for the NECB and NECJ is:
NECB*bts#.xml
NECJ*bts#.xml
Where:
* = any characters can be substituted there
# = the actual integer BTS number
The NECB and its corresponding NECJ must have the exact same name,
except for the “B” and “J” difference after the initial NEC characters.
The NECB and the NECJ must reside in the
<LMF_HOME>\cdma\bts–# directory corresponding to the BTS frame
they are for.
Load Information File (LIF)
The LIF contains all the devices binaries available for the specified
System Software Release. It is the functional equivalent of the OLF file
that was used pre–Packet.
The naming convention for the LIF is:
NE_LIF.xml
The LIF must reside in the <LMF_HOME>\cdma\loads\<Software
Release Number> directory, where <LMF_HOME> = the home
directory in which the LMF is installed, usually C:\wlmf <Software
Release Number> = the System Software Release Number (e.g.
2.16.1.0.10).
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 Installation and Update Procedures
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 K–shell emulator
3. Install LMF application programs
4. Install/create BTS folders
NOTE Any time you install U/WIN, you must install the LMF software
because the installation of the LMF modifies some of the files
that are installed during the U/Win installation. Installing U/Win
over–writes these modifications.
There are multiple binary image packages for installation on the
CD–ROM. When prompted, choose the load that corresponds to
the switch release that you currently have installed. Perform the
Device Images install after the WinLMF 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.
Table 3-1: Install LMF using CD ROM

Copy BTS and CBSC CDF (or NECF) Files to the LMF Computer
Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF computer to execute
optimization/ATP procedures, the correct bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf (or
bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) files must be obtained from the CBSC and
put in a bts-# folder in the LMF computer. This requires creating
versions of the CBSC CDF files on a DOS–formatted floppy diskette
and using the diskette to install the CDF files on the LMF computer.
NOTE – If the LMF has ftp capability, the ftp method can be used to
copy the CDF or NECF files from the CBSC.
– On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can be
used in place of the cp command (e.g., unix2dos
bts–248.cdf bts–248.cdf). This should be done using a copy
of the CBSC CDF file so the original CBSC CDF file is
not changed to DOS format.
NOTE When copying CDF or NECF files, comply with the following
to prevent BTS login problems with the Windows LMF:
SThe numbers used in the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf (or
bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) filenames must correspond to
the locally-assigned numbers for each BTS and its controlling
CBSC.
SThe generic cbsc–1.cdf (or cbsc–#.necf) file supplied with
the Windows LMF will work with locally numbered BTS
CDF files. Using this file will not provide a valid
optimization unless the generic file is edited to replace
default parameters (e.g., channel numbers) with the
operational parameters used locally.
The procedure in Table 3-2 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For further information, refer
to the LMF Help function on–line documentation.
Table 3-2: Copying CDF or NECF Files to the LMF Computer
nStep Action
AT THE CBSC:
1Login to the CBSC workstation.
2Insert a DOS–formatted floppy diskette in the workstation drive.
3 Type eject –q and press the Enter key.
4 Type mount and press the Enter key.
NOTE
SLook for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
SIf 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.
5Change to the directory, where the files to be copied reside, by typing cd <directoryname>
(e.g., cd bts–248) and pressing the Enter key.

6 Type ls and press the Enter key to display the list of files in the directory.
7 With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf (or
bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) files on the diskette by entering the following command:
unix2dos <source filename> /floppy/no_name/<target filename>
(e.g., unix2dos bts–248.cdf /floppy/no_name/bts–248.cdf).
NOTE
SOther versions of Unix do not support the unix2dos and dos2unix commands. In these cases, use
the Unix cp (copy) command. The copied files will be difficult to read with a DOS or Windows text
editor because Unix files do not contain line feed characters. Editing copied CDF files on the LMF
computer is, therefore, not recommended.
SUsing cp, multiple files can be copied in one operation by separating each filename to be copied
with a space and ensuring the destination directory (floppy/no_name) is listed at the end of the
command string following a space (e.g., cp bts–248.cdf cbsc–6.cdf /floppy/no_name).
8Repeat Steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# that must be supported by the LMF computer.
9When all required files have been copied to the diskette type eject and press the Enter key.
10 Remove the diskette from the CBSC drive.
AT THE LMF:
11 If it is not running, start the Windows operating system on the LMF computer.
12 Insert the diskette containing the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf (or bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf) files into
the LMF computer.
13 Using MS Windows Explorer, create a corresponding bts–# folder in the <x>:\<lmf home
directory>\cdma directory for each bts–#.cdf/cbsc–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf/cbsc–#.cdf) file pair copied
from the CBSC.
14 Use MS Windows Explorer to transfer the bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf (or bts–#.necf and cbsc–#.necf)
files from the diskette to the corresponding <x>:\<lmf home directory>\cdma\bts–# folders created in
Step 13.

Creating a Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Communication
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI communication
session between the LMF and the FRU. Using features of the Windows
operating system, the connection properties for an MMI session can be
saved on the LMF computer as a named Windows HyperTerminal
connection. This eliminates the need for setting up connection
parameters each time an MMI session is required to support
optimization.
Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on
the Windows desktop. Double–clicking the shortcut icon will start the
connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.
Follow the procedures in Table 3-3 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.

Using the LMF
Basic LMF Operation
LMF Coverage in This Publication – The LMF application program
supports maintenance of both CDMA and SAS BTSs. All references to
the LMF in this publication are to the CDMA portion of the 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:
SGraphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
SCommand Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CDMA 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:
SSelecting and deselecting BTS devices
SEnabling devices
SDisabling devices
SResetting devices
SObtaining device status
The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:
SSorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF Help function on–line documentation.
NOTE Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual are
performed using the GUI environment.

The LMF Display and the BTS
BTS Display – When the LMF is logged into a BTS, a frame tab is
displayed for each BTS frames. The frame tab will be labeled with
“CDMA” and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame number (for
example, BTS–812–1 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If there is only one frame
for the BTS, there will only be one tab.
CDF/NECF Requirements – For the LMF to recognize the devices
installed in the BTS, a BTS CDF/NECF file which includes equipage
information for all the devices in the BTS must be located in the
applicable <x>:\<lmf home directory>\cdma\bts–# folder. To provide
the necessary channel assignment data for BTS operation, a CBSC CDF
file which includes channel data for all BTS RFMFs is also required in
the folder.
RFDS Display – If an RFDS is included in the CDF/NECF file, an
RFDS tab labeled with “RFDS,” a dash and the BTS number–frame
number combination (for example, RFDS–812–1) will be displayed.
Graphical User Interface Overview
The LMF uses a GUI, which works in the following way:
SSelect the device or devices.
SSelect the action to apply to the selected device(s).
SWhile action is in progress, a status report window displays the action
taking place and other status information.
SThe status report window indicates when the the action is complete
and displays other pertinent information.
SClicking the OK button closes the status report window.

Understanding GUI Operation
The following screen captures are provided to help understand how the
GUI operates:
– Figure 3-4 depicts the differences between packet and circuit
CDMA “cdf” file identification. Note that if there is a packet
version “bts” file, the “(P)” is added as a suffix. There is a
corresponding “(C)” for the circuit mode version.
– Figure 3-5 depicts the Self-Managed Network Elements (NEs) state
of a packet mode SC4812T. Note that an “X” is on the front of each
card that is under Self–Managed Network Elements (NEs) control
by the GLI3 card.
– Figure 3-6 depicts three of the available packet mode commands.
Normally the GLI3 has Self-Managed Network Elements (NEs)
control of all cards as shown in Figure 3-5 by 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 Network Elements (NEs)
control of the card by using the shown dropdown menu. It 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 packet mode site that has the MCC–1 and the
BBX–1 cards under LMF control. Notice that the “X” is missing
from the front of these two cards.
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF Help function on–line documentation.

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
can not be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only one
handler can be running at one time. The architectural design is such that
the GUI must be started before the CLI if you want the GUI and CLI to
use the same handler.
When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI automatically finds and
uses an in–progress login session with a BTS initiated under the GUI.
This allows the use of the GUI and the CLI in the same BTS login
session.
If a CLI handler is already running when the GUI is launched (this
happens if the CLI window is already running when the user starts the
GUI, or if another copy of the GUI is already running when the user
starts the GUI), a dialog window displays the following warning
message:
The CLI handler is already running.
This may cause conflicts with the LMF.
Are you sure that you want to start the application?
This window also contains yes and no buttons. Selecting yes starts the
application. Selecting no terminates the application.
CLI Format Conventions
The CLI command can be broken down in the following way:
SVerb
SDevice including device identifier parameters
SSwitch
SOption parameters consisting of:
– Keywords
– Equals sign (=) between the keyword and the parameter value
– 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 CLI Commands for a complete explanation of the CLI
commands and their usage.

Logging Into a BTS
Logging into a BTS establishes a communication link between the BTS
and the LMF. An LMF session can be logged into only one BTS at a
time.
Prerequisites
Before attempting to log into a BTS, ensure the following have been
completed:
SThe LMF is correctly installed on the LMF computer.
SA bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF/NECF and CBSC files exists.
SThe LMF computer was connected to the BTS before starting the
Windows operating system and the LMF software. If necessary, restart
the computer after connecting it to the BTS in accordance with
Table 3-5 and Figure 3-3.
CAUTION Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf/necf and cbsc–#.cdf file are
used for the BTS. These should be the CDF/NECF files that are
provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the correct
CDF/NECF files can result in invalid optimization. Failure to
use the correct CDF/NECF files to log into a live
(traffic–carrying) site can shut down the site.

Logging Out
Logging out of a BTS is accomplished differently for the GUI and 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 the
login or logout has occurred.

Pinging the BTS
For proper operation, the integrity of the Ethernet LAN A and B links
must be verified. Figure 3-9 represents a typical BTS Ethernet
configuration for an SC4812T Lite stand–alone or companion frame.
The drawing depicts cabling and termination for both the A and B
LANs.
Ping is a program that sends request data packets to hosts on a network,
in this case GLI modules on the BTS LAN, to obtain a response from the
“target” host specified by an IP address.
Follow the steps in Table 3-11 to ping each processor (on both LAN A
and LAN B) and verify LAN redundancy is working properly.
CAUTION Always wear an approved anti–static wrist strap while handling
any circuit card/module to prevent damage by Electro–Static
Discharge (ESD).

Download the BTS
Overview
Before a BTS can operate, each equipped device must contain device
initialization (ROM) code. ROM code is loaded in all devices during
manufacture, factory repair, or, for software upgrades, from the CBSC
using the DownLoad Manager (DLM). Device application (RAM) code
and data must be downloaded to each equipped device by the user before
the BTS can be made fully functional for the site where it is installed.
ROM Code
Downloading ROM code to BTS devices from the LMF is NOT routine
maintenance or a normal part of the optimization process. It is only
done in unusual situations where the resident ROM code release level in
the device is not compatible with the required release level of the site
operating software and the CBSC can not communicate with the BTS to
perform the download.
If you must download ROM code, the procedures are located in
Appendix G.
Before ROM code can be downloaded from the LMF, the correct ROM
code file for each device to be loaded must exist on the LMF computer.
ROM code must be manually selected for download.
NOTE The ROM code file is not available for GLI3s. GLI3s are ROM
code loaded at the factory.
ROM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being downloaded will change to
OOS_ROM (blue). The device will remain OOS_ROM (blue) when the
download is completed. A compatible revision–level RAM code must
then be downloaded to the device. Compatible code loads for ROM and
RAM must be used for the device type to ensure proper performance.
The compatible device code release levels for the BSS software release
being used are listed in the Version Matrix section of the SCt CDMA
Release Notes (supplied on the tape or CD–ROM containing the BSS
software).
RAM Code
Before RAM code can be downloaded from the 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 LMF file structure. The RAM code file will be selected
automatically if the file is in the <x>:\<lmf home
directory>\cdma\loads\n.n.n.n\code folder (where n.n.n.n is the
download code version number that matches the “NextLoad” parameter
of the CDF file). The RAM code file in the code folder must have the
correct hardware bin number for the device to be loaded.
RAM code can be downloaded to a device that is in any state. After the
download is started, the device being loaded will change to OOS_ROM
(blue). When the download is completed successfully, the device will
change to OOS_RAM (yellow).

When code is downloaded to an MGLI or GLI, the LMF automatically
also downloads data and then enables the MGLI. When enabled, the
MGLI will change to INS_ACT (bright green). A redundant GLI will
not be automatically enabled and will remain OOS_RAM (yellow).
When the redundant GLI is manually commanded to enable through the
LMF, it will change state to INS_SBY (olive green).
For non–GLI devices, data must be downloaded after RAM code is
downloaded. To download data, the device state must be OOS_RAM
(yellow).
The devices to be loaded with RAM code and data are:
SMaster Group Line Interface (MGLI2 or MGLI3)
SRedundant GLI (GLI2 or GLI3)
SClock Synchronization Module (CSM) (Only if new revision code
must be loaded)
SMulti Channel CDMA (MCC24E, MCC8E, or MCC–1X) cards
SBroadband Transceiver (BBX2 or BBX–1X) cards
SRFDS Test Subscriber Interface Card (TSIC) or RFDS–1X RFDS
PROCessor (RPROC) card, if RFDS is installed
NOTE The MGLI must be successfully downloaded with RAM code
and data, and in INS_ACT (bright green) status before
downloading any other device. The RAM code download
process for an MGLI automatically downloads data and then
enables the MGLI.

Verify GLI ROM Code Loads
Devices should not be loaded with a RAM code version which is not
compatible with the ROM code with which they are loaded. Before
downloading RAM code and data to the processor cards, follow the
procedure in Table 3-12 to verify the GLI devices are loaded with the
correct ROM code for the software release used by the BSS.
Prerequisite
Identify the correct GLI ROM code load for the software release being
used on the BSS by referring to the Version Matrix section of the SCt
CDMA Release Notes (supplied on the tapes or CD–ROMs containing
the BSS software).

Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-16 to enable the CSMs installed in
the SCCP shelves.
Table 3-16: Enable CSMs
nStep Action
1NOTE
If equipped with two CSMs, enable card in slot CSM 2 first.
Click on the target CSM.
2Click on Device in the BTS menu bar, and select Enable in the pull–down menu list.
– A status report is displayed showing the results of the enable operation.
– Click OK to close the status report window.
NOTE
– The board in slot CSM 1 interfaces with the GPS receiver. The enable sequence for this board can
take up to one hour (see below).
– FAIL may be shown in the status report table for a slot CSM 1 enable action. If Waiting For Phase
Lock is shown in the Description field, do not cancel the enable process. The CSM will change to
the Enabled state after phase lock is achieved.
* IMPORTANT
– 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 “almanac” 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 “almanac” to be updated.
– Once updated, the GPS receiver must track at least four satellites and obtain (hold) a 3–D position
fix for a minimum of 45 seconds before the CSM will come in service. (In some cases, the GPS
receiver needs to track only one satellite, depending on accuracy mode set during the data load).
NOTE
– If two CSMs are installed and the board in slot CSM 1 has enabled, the LMF CSM cage view
should show slot CSM 1 as bright green (INS–ACT) and slot CSM 2 as dark green (INS–SBY)
– After CSMs have been successfully enabled, be sure the PWR/ALM LEDs are steady green
(alternating green/red indicates the card is in an alarm state).
3If more than an hour has passed without the board in slot CSM 1 enabling, refer to the CSM System
Time – GPS & LFR/HSO Verification section of this chapter (see Table 3-18, Figure 3-10, and
Table 3-19) to determine the cause.

CSM System Time – GPS & LFR/HSO Verification
Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) Sub–system Description
Overview – Each BTS CSM sub–system features two CSM boards 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 on–board GPS receiver
module (RF–GPS) 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 (CSM–II) is required when using the RGPS. A
CSM–II card can also be equipped with a local GPS receiver daughter
card to support an RF–GPS signal.
SCCP Shelf CSM Card Slot Assignments – The GPS receiver is
interfaced to the board in SCCP shelf slot CSM 1. This card is the
primary timing source, while the card in slot CSM 2 provides
redundancy. The redundant card, does not have a GPS receiver.
CSM–II Card Type Description – Each CSM–II card features a
temperature–stabilized crystal oscillator that provides 19.6608 MHz
clock, even second pulse, and 3 MHz reference signals to the
synchronization source selected from the following (refer to Table 3-19
for source selection/verification procedures):
SGPS: local/RF–GPS or remote/RGPS
SLORAN–C Low Frequency Receiver (LFR) or High Stability
Oscillator (HSO)
SExternal reference oscillator sources
CDMA Clock Distribution Card (CCD) Description – CCD cards
buffer and distribute even–second reference and 19.6608 MHz clock
signals from the CSM cards. CCD 1 is married to the card in slot CSM
1, and CCD 2 is married to the card in slot CSM 2.
CSM Card Redundancy – The BTS switches between the primary and
redundant units (card slots CSM 1 and CSM 2, respectively) upon failure
or command. A failure in CSM 1 or CCD 1 will cause the system to
switch to the CSM 2–CCD 2 redundant card pair. GPS timing
synchronization is continually maintained between the primary and
redundant CSM–CCD pairs.
Secondary Timing References – The BTS may be equipped with a
LORAN–C Low Frequency Receiver (LFR), a High Stability Oscillator
(HSO), or external 10 MHz Rubidium source which the CSM can use as
a secondary timing reference. Continuous GPS synchronization is
maintained for the LFR or HSO secondary timing references. The CSM
monitors and determines what reference to use at a given time.

DRAFT
3-45
Timing Source Fault Management – Fault management has the
capability of switching between the GPS synchronization source and the
LFR/HSO backup source in the event of a GPS receiver failure. During
normal operation, the card in slot CSM 1 selects GPS as the primary
timing source (Table 3-19). The source selection can also be overridden
via the LMF or by the system software.
Front Panel LEDs
The status of the LEDs on the CSM boards are as follows:
SSteady Green – Master CSM locked to GPS or LFR (INS).
SRapidly Flashing Green – Standby CSM locked to GPS or LFR
(STBY).
SFlashing Green/Rapidly Flashing Red – CSM OOS–RAM attempting
to lock on GPS signal.
SRapidly Flashing Green and Red – Alarm condition exists. Trouble
Notifications (TNs) are currently being reported to the GLI.

Low Frequency Receiver/High Stability Oscillator (LFR/HSO)
General
The CSM and the LFR/HSO – The CSM performs the overall
configuration and status monitoring functions for the LFR/HSO. In the
event of GPS failure, the LFR/HSO is capable of maintaining
synchronization initially established by the GPS reference signal.
LFR – The LFR requires an active external antenna to receive
LORAN–C RF signals. Timing pulses are derived from this signal,
which is synchronized to Universal Time Coordinates (UTC) and GPS
time. The LFR can maintain system time indefinitely after initial GPS
lock.
HSO – The HSO is a high stability 10 MHz oscillator with the necessary
interface to the CSMs. The HSO is typically installed in those
geographical areas not covered by the LORAN–C system. Since the
HSO is a free–standing oscillator, system time can only be maintained
for 24 hours after 24 hours of GPS lock
Upgrades and Expansions: LFR2/HSO2/HSOX
The LFR2 and HSO2 (second generation cards) both can export a timing
signal to other BTS frames located at a site. These secondary frames
require an HSO–expansion (HSOX) module whether the primary frame
has an LFR2 or an HSO2. The HSOX accepts input from the primary
frame and interfaces with the CSM cards in the secondary frames. LFR
and LFR2 use the same source code in source selection (Table 3-19).
HSO, HSO2, and HSOX use the same source code in source selection
(Table 3-19).
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 time base to stabilize in frequency
before any measurements are made.

Equipment Warm-up
NOTE Warm-up BTS equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes prior to
performing the BTS optimization procedure. This assures BTS
stability and contributes to optimization accuracy.
– Time spent running initial or normal power-up,
hardware/firmware audit, and BTS download counts as
warm-up time.
WARNING Before installing any test equipment directly to any BTS TX
OUT connector, verify there are no CDMA channels keyed.
– At active sites, have the OMC-R/CBSC place the antenna
(sector) assigned to the BBX under test OOS. Failure to do
so can result in serious personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
Automatic Cable Calibration Set–up
Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 show the cable calibration setup for the test
sets supported by the LMF. The left side of the diagram depicts the
location of the input and output connectors of each test equipment item,
and the right side details the connections for each test. Table 3-26
provides a procedure for performing automatic cable calibration.
Manual Cable Calibration
If manual cable calibration is required, refer to the procedures in
Appendix F.

Test Set Calibration
Background
Proper test equipment calibration helps to ensure accurate BTS
optimization and acceptance testing by assuring that the test equipment
and associated cables do not introduce measurement errors.
NOTE If the test equipment set being used to optimize or test the BTS
has been calibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does
not need to be performed.
This procedure must be performed prior to beginning the optimization.
Verify all test equipment (including all associated cables and adapters
actually used to interconnect test equipment items 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, the
set must be re-calibrated. Failure to do so can introduce
measurement errors, resulting in incorrect measurements and
degradation to system performance. Motorola recommends
repeating cable calibration before testing at each BTS site.
NOTE Calibration of the communications system analyzer (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 a minimum of 60 minutes.
Calibration Procedures Included
Automatic
Procedures included in this section use the LMF automated calibration
routine to determine path losses of the supported communications
analyzer, power meter, associated test cables, adapters, and (if used)
antenna switch that make up the overall calibrated test equipment set.
After calibration, the gain/loss offset values are stored in a test
measurement offset file on the LMF computer.
Manual
Agilent E4406A Transmitter Tester – The E4406A does not support
the power level zeroing calibration performed by the LMF. If this
instrument is to be used for Bay Level Offset calibration and calibration
is attempted with the LMF Calibrate Test Equipment function, the
LMF will return a status window failure message stating that zeroing
power is not supported by the E4406A. Refer to the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F for instructions on using the
instrument’s self–alignment (calibration) function prior to performing
Bay Level Offset calibration.
Power Meters – Manual power meter calibration procedures to be
performed prior to automated calibration are included in the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F.

Cable Calibration – Manual cable calibration procedures using the HP
8921A and Advantest R3465 communications system analyzers are
provided in the Manual Cable Calibration section of Appendix F, if
needed.
GPIB Addresses
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 boxes (Table 3-23 and Table 3-24) 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 section of Appendix F.
Selecting Test Equipment
Serial Connection and Network Connection tabs are provided in the
LMF Options window to specify the test equipment connection method.
The Serial Connection tab is used when the test equipment items are
connected directly to the LMF computer through a GPIB box (normal
setup). The Network Connection tab is used when the test equipment is
to be connected remotely via a network connection.
Prerequisites
Be sure the following have been completed before selecting test
equipment:
STest equipment is turned on.
SGPIB addresses set in the test equipment have been verified as correct
using the applicable procedures in Appendix NO TAG.
SLMF computer serial port and test equipment are connected to the
GPIB box.
Selecting Test Equipment
Test equipment may be selected either manually with operator input or
automatically using the LMF autodetect feature.

Manually Selecting Test Equipment in a Serial Connection Tab
Test equipment can be manually specified before or after the test
equipment is connected. The LMF does not attempt to verify the test
equipment is actually detected when manual selection is specified.
Follow the procedure in Table 3-23 to manually select test equipment.
Table 3-23: Selecting Test Equipment Manually in the Serial Connection Tab
Step Action
1In the LMF window menu bar, click Tools and select Options... from the pull–down menu.
– The LMF Options window appears.
2If it is not in the forefront, click on the Serial Connection tab.
3Select the correct serial port in the COMM Port: pick list (normally COM1).
4If it is not selected (black dot showing), click on the Manual Specification button.
5Click on the check box(es) corresponding to the test equipment item(s) to be used.
6Type the GPIB address in the corresponding GPIB address box (refer to the Setting GPIB Addresses
section of Appendix F for directions on verifying and/or changing test equipment GPIB addresses).
Motorola–recommended addresses are:
1 = signal generator
13 = power meter
18 = communications system analyzer
NOTE
When test equipment items are manually selected by the operator, the LMF defaults to using a power
meter for RF power measurements. The LMF will use a communications system analyzer for RF
power measurements only if a power meter is not selected (power meter checkbox not checked).
7Click on Apply.
– The button will darken until the selection has been recorded.
NOTE
With manual selection, the LMF does not attempt to detect the test equipment to verify it is connected
and communicating with the LMF.
8Click on Dismiss to close the LMF Options window.

Calibrating Cables Overview
The LMF Cable Calibration function is used to measure the path loss
(in dB) for the TX and RX cables, adapters, directional couplers, and
attenuators that make up the cable configurations used for testing. A
communications system analyzer is used to measure the loss of both the
TX test cable and the RX test cable configurations. LMF cable
calibration consists of the following processes:
1. Measure the loss of a short cable. This is done to compensate for any
measurement error of the communications system analyzer. The
short cable, which is used only for the calibration process, is
connected in series with both the TX and RX test cable
configurations when they are measured. The measured loss of the
short cable is deducted from the measured loss of the TX and RX
test cable configurations to determine the actual loss of the
configurations. This deduction is done so any error in the analyzer
measurement will be adjusted out of both the TX and RX
measurements.
2. Measure the loss of the short cable plus the RX test cable
configuration. The RX test cable configuration normally consists
only of a coax cable with type–N connectors that is long enough to
reach from the BTS RX connector to the test equipment. When the
BTS antenna connectors carry duplexed TX and RX signals, a
directional coupler and, if required by BTS type, an additional
attenuator are also required for the RX test cable configuration.
These additional items must be included in the path loss
measurement.
3. Measure the loss of the short cable plus the TX test cable
configuration. The TX test cable configuration normally consists of
two coax cables with type–N connectors, a directional coupler, a
termination load with sufficient rating to dissipate the BTS output
power, and an additional attenuator, if required by the BTS type. The
total path loss of the TX test configuration must be as required for
the BTS (normally 30 or 50 dB). The Motorola Cybertest analyzer is
different from other communications system analyzers because the
required attenuation/load is built into the test set. Because of this,
the Cybertest TX test configuration consists only of the required
length coax cable.

Setting Cable Loss Values
Cable loss values for TX and RX test cable configurations are normally
set by accomplishing automatic cable calibration using the LMF and the
applicable test equipment. The LMF stores the measured loss values in
the cable loss files. The cable loss values can also be set or changed
manually.
CAUTION If cable calibration was performed without using the LMF, cable
loss values must be manually entered in the LMF database.
Failure to do this will result in inaccurate BTS calibration and
reduced site performance.

Bay Level Offset Calibration68P64115A18–1
Mar 2003 1X SC 4812T Lite BTS Optimization/ATP Software Release R2.16.1.x
DRAFT
3-83
Bay Level Offset Calibration
Purpose of Bay Level Offset 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.
What is BLO Calibration?
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, receive path BLO values will automatically be set to the
default value in the LMF calibration file and downloaded.
BTS RF Path Descriptions
Transmit (TX) path – A TX path starts at an SCCP shelf BBX
backplane slot, travels through the CIO card, is routed to the Power
Amplifier (PA) trunking module for sector phase shifting, through the
PAs, back through the PA trunking module for sector phase selection,
through the TX bandpass filter (starter frames) or 2:1 TX combiner
(companion frames), through the Transmit & Receive Filter (TRF) or
Duplexer TX/RF Filter (DRF), and ends at the TRF or DRF antenna
connector.
Receive (RX) main path – A main RX path starts at ANTENNAS
connectors 1A, 2A, or 3A and travels through the associated TRF or
DRF, the MPC in SCCP cage slot MPC–1, the CIO card, and terminates
at a backplane BBX slot in the SCCP shelf.
Diversity RX path – Diversity RX paths differ for SC4812T Lite starter
(stand–alone) and companion frames. The following describe each type
of path:
SStarter frame diversity RX path – A starter frame diversity RX path
is the same as a main RX path except that it starts at ANTENNAS
connectors 1B, 2B, or 3B, travels through the associated TRF or DRF,
and the MPC card in SCCP cage slot MPC–2 (refer to Table 1-6).
SCompanion frame diversity RX path – The companion frame main
RX signal is used for the collocated companion frame diversity RX
signal. A companion frame’s diversity RX path starts at ANTENNAS
connectors 1A, 2A, or 3A in the collocated companion frame. It
travels through the associated TRF or DRF, the MPC in SCCP cage
slot MPC–1, and the CIO card where it is then routed out of the frame
through the RX expansion out connectors (RX EXPANSION 1A, 2A,

or 3A). The signal travels through the inter–frame diversity RX
cables, into the RX expansion in ports (RX EXPANSION 1B, 2B, or
3B in NO TAG or NO TAG) of the companion frame, through the
Expansion MPC (EMPC) in SCCP cage slot MPC–2, the CIO, and
terminates at a backplane BBX slot in the SCCP shelf.
SRFDS sampling paths – Directional couplers for RFDS signal
sampling are integral to the SC4812T Lite transmit and receive paths
in the DRDCs and TRDCs. Cables connect from these directional
couplers to the RFDS input connectors.
Component Verification During Calibration
TX Path Calibration
TX path calibration supports verification of correct BTS installation, RF
cabling installation and performance, functionality of all equipment
installed in the transmit RF chain, and the proper functioning of each
transmit RF path. External test equipment is used to calibrate and audit
the TX paths of the BTS.
RX Path Calibration
RX path calibration is not required or supported on CDMA BTS
systems. Default RX calibration values are written to the RX calibration
data files during the TX calibration process. RX functionality is verified
during Frame Erasure Rate (FER) testing.
When to Calibrate BLOs
Calibration to determine BLO:
1. Is required after initial BTS installation.
2. Must be done once each year for an operational BTS site.
3. Is recommended by Motorola for all associated RF paths after
replacing any of the following components:
– BBX card
– SCCP shelf
– CIO card
– CIO–to–PA trunking module RF cable
– PA trunking module
– Power Amplifier
– Trunking module–to–TX filter/filter combiner RF cable
– TX filter or TX filter combiner
– TX filter/filter combiner–to–DRDC/TRDC cable
– DRDC or TRDC
BLO Calibration Data File
During the calibration process, the LMF creates a calibration (CAL) data
file where BLO values are stored. After calibration has been completed,
these offset values must be downloaded to the BBXs using the LMF
BLO download function. A detailed description of the file organization
and content is provided in the following paragraphs
![](/img.php?id=320001&img=bga1.png)

DRAFT
3-85
NOTE Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends printing out a
copy of a bts–#.cal file and referring to it for the following
descriptions.
CAL File Organization
The CAL file is subdivided into three sections called “slot Blocks”.
These are:
1. Slot[1] Block which contains the calibration data for the six primary
BBX slots.
2. Slot[20] Block which contains the calibration data for the redundant
BBX (see Table 3-32).
3. Slot[385] Block which contains the calibration data for the RFDS.
BBX Slot Block Parts
BBX slot Blocks are further subdivided into the parts described in the
following:
Slot Block Header – Each BBX slot Block has a header section (slot
header) which contains:
SA creation Date and Time – broken down into separate parameters of
createMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.
SThe number of calibration entries in the file – the numBayLevelPts
parameter. The parameter is fixed at 720 entries for SC4812–series
frames. These 720 entries are combined to define the 360 calibration
points of the CAL file.
SThe slot Block format parameter.
Slot Block Bay Level Calibration Data – Each BBX slot Block has a
Bay Level Calibration data section (BayLevelCal) which is organized as
a large flat array. The array is organized by branch, SCCP cage BBX
slot, and calibration entries. There are several ways to look at the array
contents. Two different views are provided in the following to illustrate
the significant features of BayLevelCal section content and organization:
SThe first view of the array is shown in Table 3-31. This view shows
the three branches of the array, transmit, main receive, and diversity
receive offsets, and the calibration entry ranges which apply to each.

SWhen referring to the CAL file print–out and Table 3-32, it can be
seen that there is one BBX slot per sector with 20 “calibration entries”
per BBX (sector) for each branch. Two calibration entries define a
single “calibration point;” therefore there are ten calibration points in
each branch for each BBX.
– The first entry for a calibration point (all odd entries) identifies the
CDMA channel (frequency) where the BLO is measured. The
second calibration entry (all even entries) is the power set level
(PwrLvlAdj) for that frequency. The valid range for PwrLvlAdj is

from 2500 to 27500 (2500 corresponds to –125 dBm and 27500
corresponds to +125 dBm).
– The ten calibration points for each slot–branch combination must be
stored in order of increasing frequency. If less than ten points
(frequencies) are calibrated, the BLO data for the highest frequency
calibrated is written into the remainder of the ten points for that
slot–branch.
Example:
C[1]=384 (odd cal entry)
C[2]=19102 (even cal entry)
C[3]=777 (odd cal entry)
C[4]=19086 (even cal entry)
C[19]=777 (odd cal entry)
C[20]=19086 (even cal entry)
.

.
= 1 “calibration point”
= 1 “calibration point”
= 1 “calibration point”
In the example above, BLO was measured at only two frequencies
(channels 384 and 777) for SCCP slot BBX–1 transmit (Table 3-32).
The BLO data for the highest frequency measured (channel 777) will
be written to the remaining eight transmit calibration points (defined
by entries C[5] through C[20]) for BBX–1.
Slot Block Temperature Compensation – Each BBX slot Block also
has a temperature compensation data section (TempLevelCal) where
power level compensation factors for temperature variations are stored.
CAL File and BLO Data Download
When BLO data is downloaded to the BBXs after calibration, the data is
downloaded to the devices in the order it is stored in the CAL file. TX
calibration data (entries C[1] – C[60]) are sent first. Data for the ten
BBX slot 1 calibration points (entries C[1] – C[20]) are sent initially,
followed by data for the ten BBX slot 2 calibration points (entries C[21]
– C[40]), and so on. The RX calibration data is sent next in BBX slot
sequence, followed by RX Diversity calibration data.

BBX at the site is assigned to a sector and carrier. These are specified
respectively in the sector and carrier fields of the ParentCARRIER
parameter in each BBXs CDF file block. The channel frequency and
desired power for the assigned sector are specified respectively in the
ChannelList and SIFPilotPwr parameters of the CDF block for the
CARRIER to which the BBX is assigned.
NOTE Be sure the bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and cbsc–#.cdf files
loaded on the LMF computer are current. The LMF will obtain
carrier and channel information from these files and insert it into
the appropriate CDMA Test Parameter screen. Failure to have
the most current files from the CBSC can result in incorrect
channel information being used to calibrate the BTS and
unfavorable affects on BTS performance. Carrier and channel
numbers should only be entered manually for special test cases
or as a last resort.
The calibration process attempts to adjust the measured power to within
+0.5 dB of the desired power. The calibration will pass if the error is less
than +1.5 dB.
The TX BLO for the SC 4812T Lite is approximately 42.0 dB ±5.0 dB.
BLO is the gain in dB between the known power output of the BBX and
the measured power at the TX port. BLO is derived by deducting the
known BBX power output from the power measured at the TX port or
(Measured Power) – (BBX TX Power Output).
Example:
Measured Power (at TX port) = 36.0 dBm
Known BBX TX Power Output = –6.0 dBm
BLO = (36.0) – (–6.0) = 42.0 dB gain

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 user–selectable features which
are described in the following subsections.
Rate Set Drop–down Pick List
The Rate Set Drop–down 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 Checkbox
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
Single–Sided BLO Checkbox
An acceptable range of BLO values for each type of BTS is established
to allow for tolerance variations in all the components of the RF chain.
This acceptable range, 42+5 dB for example, is very wide to
accommodate the redundant BBX in the BTS. This is a much wider
tolerance than necessary for the primary BBXs. Primary BBXs normally
will have BLOs in the lower half of the range. Using the example range,
this would be from 37 to 42 dB. Checking the Single–Sided BLO
checkbox should only be done when calibrating primary BBXs because
it will reduce the acceptable BLO value variations to the lower half of
the range. Because this is a much more stringent tolerance, calibrations
run with Single–Sided BLO are more likely to fail and should only be
attempted by an experienced CFE. Never select Single–Sided BLO
when calibrating a redundant BBX.

should be used for all non–in–service calibrations and audits. Using
this pattern setting requires the selection of both a BBX and at least
one MCC.
SPilot (default) – performs calibration using only the pilot channel.
This pattern setting should be used for in–service calibrations, and
requires selection of only a BBX.
SCDFPilot – This pattern setting is for advanced users. It performs
calibration or audit using the CDF value for pilot gain and IS–97 gain
values for all the other channels included in the Standard pattern
setting (paging, synch, and six traffic). Using this pattern setting
requires the selection of both a BBX and at least one MCC.
SCDF – This pattern setting is for advanced users who need to use
CDF gain settings for all channels included in the Standard pattern

TX Calibration
WARNING Before installing any test equipment directly to any BTS TX
OUT connector, first verify no CDMA channels are keyed.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
CAUTION Always wear an approved anti–static wrist strap while handling
any circuit card or module. If this is not done, there is a high
probability that the card or module could be damaged by ESD.
NOTE At new site installations, to facilitate the complete test of each
SCCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populated with BBX
boards), move BBX boards from shelves currently not under test
and install them into the empty BBX slots of the shelf currently
being tested to insure that all BBX TX paths are tested.
– This procedure can be bypassed on operational sites that are
due for periodic optimization.
– Prior to testing, view the CDF (or NECF) 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).

Calibration Audit Introduction
The BLO calibration audit procedure confirms the successful generation
and storage of the BLO calibration values. 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 same external test equipment set–up
required for TX calibration is used for TX audit.
NOTE RF path verification, BLO calibration, and BLO data download
to BBXs must have been successfully completed prior to
performing the calibration audit.
TX Path Audit
Perform the calibration audit of the TX paths of all equipped BBX slots,
per the steps in Table 3-37.
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.
NOTE If a successful All Cal/Audit was completed, this procedure
does not need to be performed, as BLO is downloaded as part of
the All Cal/Audit.
TX Audit Test
The Tests menu item, TX Audit, performs the TX BLO Audit test for
BBXs. All measurements are made through the appropriate TX output
connector using the TX calibration setup.
Prerequisites
Before running this test, the following should be done:
SThe card in slot CSM 1, GLIs, BBXs have correct code load.
SPrimary CSM and MGLI are INS_ACT (bright green).
SAll BBXs are OOS_RAM (yellow).
STest equipment and test cables are calibrated and connected for TX
BLO calibration.

Create CAL File
The LMF Create Cal File function gets the BLO data from BBXs and
creates/updates the CAL file for the BTS. If a CAL file does not exist a
new one is created. If a CAL file already exists it is updated. After a
BTS has been fully optimized a copy of the CAL file must exist so it can
be transferred to the CBSC. If TX calibration has been successfully
performed for all BBXs and BLO data has been downloaded, a CAL file
will exist. Note the following:
SThe Create Cal File function only applies to selected (highlighted)
BBXs.
CAUTION Editing the CAL file is not encouraged as this action can cause

RFDS Set–up and Calibration
RFDS Description
The optional RFDS is used to perform RF tests of the site from the
CBSC or from the LMF. The RFDS contains the following FRUs:
SAntenna Select Unit (ASU)
SFixed Wireless Terminal Interface Card (FWTIC)
SSubscriber Unit Assembly (SUA)
For complete information regarding the RFDS, refer to the CDMA
CDMA RFDS Hardware Installation; 68P64113A93, CDMA RFDS
User’s Guide; 68P64114A51, and the LMF Help function on–line
documentation.
RFDS Parameters
The bts–#.cdf file includes RFDS parameter settings that must match the
installed RFDS equipment. The paragraphs below describe the editable
parameters and their defaults. Table 3-39 explains how to edit the
parameter settings.
SRfdsEquip – valid inputs are 0 through 2.
0 = (default) RFDS is not equipped
1 = Non-Cobra/Patzer box RFDS
2 = Cobra RFDS
STsuEquip – valid inputs are 0 or 1
0 = (default) TSU not equipped
1 = TSU is equipped in the system
SMC1....4 – valid inputs are 0 or 1
0 = (default) Not equipped
1 = Multicouplers equipped in RFDS system
(SC9600 internal RFDS only)
SAsu1/2Equip – valid inputs are 0 or 1
0 = (default) Not equipped
1 = Equipped
STestOrigDN – valid inputs are ’’’ (default) or a numerical string up to
15 characters. (This is the phone number the RFDS dials when
originating a call. A dummy number needs to be set up by the switch,
and is to be used in this field.)
NOTE Any text editor may be used to open the bts–#.cdf file to verify,
view, or modify data. Because the bts–#.cdf file is generated on
a Unix system, a more sophisticated editor, such as MicroSoft
WordPad, will display file content in a more easily–read format

RFDS Calibration
The RFDS Calibration option is used to calibrate the RFDS TX and RX
paths.
TX Path Calibration – For a TX antenna path calibration the BTS
XCVR is keyed at a pre–determined power level and the BTS power
output level is measured by the RFDS. The power level is then measured
at the TX antenna directional coupler by the power measuring test
equipment item being used (power meter or analyzer). The difference
(offset) between the power level at the RFDS and the power level at the
TX antenna directional coupler is used as the TX RFDS calibration
offset value.
RX Path Calibration – For an RX antenna path calibration the RFDS is
keyed at a pre–determined power level and the power input level is
measured by the BTS BBX. A CDMA signal at the same power level
measured by the BTS BBX is then injected at the RX antenna directional
coupler by the communications system analyzer. The difference (offset)
between the RFDS–keyed power level and power level measured at the
BTS BBX is the RFDS RX calibration offset value.
RFDS calibration and the CAL file – The TX and RX RFDS
calibration offset values are written to the CAL file in the slot[385]
Block.
TSIC channel frequency – For each RFDS TSIC, the channel
frequency is determined at the lower third and upper third of the
appropriate band using the frequencies listed in Table 3-44.
Table 3-44: RFDS TSIC Calibration Channel Frequencies
System Channel Calibration Points
800 MHz (A and B) 341 and 682

WARNING Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX OUT
connector, verify that there are no CDMA channels keyed.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury and/or
equipment damage.

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

TX/RX Antenna Connections
Starter (Stand–alone) Frames
Refer to NO TAG or NO TAG for identification of starter frame transmit
and receive antenna connections where measurements are to be taken.
All ATP test equipment connections for starter frames are made at the
ANTENNAS connectors on the RF interface panel.
Companion Frames
TX ATP Antenna Connections – Each companion frame at a site
connects independently to transmit antennas. Test equipment
connections for TX ATPs on each companion frame are made at the
ANTENNAS connectors as on starter frames. Companion frame
ANTENNAS connectors are shown in NO TAG and NO TAG.
Antenna Connections for RX main ATP – Each companion frame at a
site uses independent receive antennas for main RX signals. The main
RX signals are either routed through TRDC RX ANTENNAS
connectors (NO TAG) or duplexed with TX signals through the single
DRDC ANTENNAS connectors (NO TAG).
Antenna Connections for RX diversity ATP – Companion frame
diversity RX signals are obtained from the RX main antenna of the
collocated companion frame. The main RX signals are sent from the
collocated companion frame through inter–frame diversity RX cables to
the RX EXPANSION 1B, 2B, or 3B connectors of the frame where they
are used for diversity RX (refer to Figure 4-1). Diversity RX ATP test
equipment connections are made at one of two different locations
depending on whether or not the companion frame under test is
connected to a collocated companion frame. Connection points for each
situation are as follows:
SConnected companion frames: When inter–frame diversity RX
cables are connected, connect test equipment for diversity RX ATP at
the ANTENNAS connectors of the collocated companion frame as
shown in Figure 4-1 and listed in Table 4-1. Be sure MPC is selected

SSignal generator for FER testing (required for all communications
system analyzers for 1X FER)
WARNING –Before installing any test equipment directly to any BTS
TX OUT connector, verify that there are no CDMA
channels keyed.
– At active sites, have the OMCR/CBSC place the carrier
assigned to the LPAs under test OOS. Failure to do so can

NOTE The test equipment must be re–calibrated before using it to
perform the TX Acceptance Tests.
Acceptance Test Equipment Set Up
All ATP testing – Follow the steps in Table 4-3 to set up test equipment
for all tests.
Table 4-3: Set Up Test Equipment – TX Output Verify/Control Tests
Step Action
1If it has not already been done, interface the LMF computer to the BTS (refer to Table 3-5 and
Figure 3-3).
2If it has not already been done, refer to Table 3-6 to start a GUI LMF session and log into the BTS.
3If it has not already been done, refer to Figure 3-17, Figure 3-18, Figure 3-19, Figure 3-20,
Figure 3-21, or Figure 3-22, as applicable, for the test equipment and antenna duplexing being used, to
connect test equipment for acceptance testing.
NOTE
LMF–based measurements factor in TX test cable loss between the RFMF and test equipment. If
additional attenuation, such as external TX combiners, is inserted in the path, it must be identified to
the LMF by including it in the TX test cable calibration. If this is not possible, include the attenuation
in the TX path by editing cable loss values (refer to Table 3-29). Failure to do this will result in test
inaccuracies and potential for erroneous ATP failures because the additional losses would not be
compensated for in the test measurements.

individual test set up and initiation.
Abbreviated ATP Options – There are three abbreviated acceptance
tests which evaluate different performance aspects of the BTS. This
allows the CFE to select testing to meet the specific requirements for
individual maintenance and performance verification situations. The
following summarizes the coverage of each abbreviated test:
SAll TX/RX. Performs all transmit and receive ATPs on the selected
MCCs and BBXs.
SAll TX. Performs complete set of transmit ATPs on the selected
MCCs and BBXs. Testing is the equivalent of performing all of the
following individual tests:
–TX Mask Test
–Rho Test
–Pilot Time Offset Test
–Code Domain Power Test
SAll RX. Performs complete receive ATP on the selected MCCs and
BBXs. Testing is the equivalent of performing the following:
–FER Test
Abbreviated ATP Procedures – Procedures to accomplish each type of
abbreviated ATP are included in the following subsections.

All TX/RX ATP Test
Follow the procedures in Table 4-5 to perform the abbreviated,
all–inclusive transmit and receive test.
Table 4-5: All TX/RX ATP Test Procedure
Step Action
1Set up the test equipment initially for abbreviated tests as described in Table 4-3.
2If a companion frame is being tested and either BOTH or DIV is to be selected in step 7, perform the
additional test equipment set–up in Table 4-4 for the diversity RX portion of the ATP.
NOTE
If the LMF has been logged into the BTS with a different Multi–Channel Preselector setting than the
one to be used for this test, the LMF must be logged out of the BTS and logged in again with the new
Multi–Channel Preselector setting. Using the wrong MPC setting can cause a false test failure.
3Select the BBXs and MCCs to be tested.
4Click on Tests in the BTS menu bar, and select All TX/RX ATP... from the pull–down menu.
5Select the appropriate carrier(s) and sector(s) (carrier-bts#-sector#-carrier#) from those displayed in the
Channels/Carrier pick list.
NOTE
To select multiple items, hold down the Shift or Ctrl key while clicking on pick list items to select
multiple carrier(s)–sector(s).
6Verify that the correct channel number for the selected carrier is shown in the Carrier # Channels
box. If it is not, obtain the latest bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and cbsc–#.cdf files from the CBSC.
NOTE
If necessary, the correct channel number may be manually entered into the Carrier # Channels box.
7NOTE
If a companion frame with the inter–frame diversity RX cabling disconnected is being tested do not
select BOTH in this step. The RX main and diversity paths must be tested separately for this
configuration because each requires a different Multi–Coupler Preselector type to provide the proper
test signal gain.
Select the appropriate RX branch (BOTH, MAIN, or DIVersity) in the drop–down list.
8In the Rate Set box, select the appropriate data rate (1=9600 3=9600 1X) from the drop–down list.
NOTE
The Rate Set selection of 3 is only available if 1X cards are selected for the test.
9Enter the channel elements to be tested for the RX ATP in the Channel Element(s) box. By default,
all channel elements are specified.
Use one of thefollowing methods to enter more than one channel element:
– Enter non–sequential channel elements separated by a comma and no spaces (for example;
0,5,15).
– Enter a range of sequential channel elements by typing the first and last channel elements
separated by two periods (for example; 0..15).
NOTE
The channel element numbers are 0.based; that is the first channel element is 0.
