4 AW 96 System Introduction
4.1 Overview
The AirWalk AW 96 (CDMA-2000 IP-Base Station) product is unique in the way that it
combines both BTS and BSC functionality in one compact platform.
This product is designed for efficiency and optimized to reduce the service providers
CAPEX, and OPEX and at the same time, it increases the number of users per assigned
spectrum.
It provides higher capacity in less space for today’s spectrum hungry data and multi-
media applications.
The AW 96 system provides the following advantages:
• Easily adapted to 3FA/Omni structure.
• Supports 2G (TIA/EIA-95, J-STD-008) and 3G-1X (CDMA2000) standards
• Supports data service transmission of 1.2 kbps to 144 kbps
• Provides 96 basic channel elements.
• Easy repair and support
• Improved reliance
• Provides an ‘All-IP’ solution
• Provides an effective solution for enterprise networks and hot spots.
4.2 IP- Base Station (BS) System Description
The AW 96 IP-RAN (Internet Protocol Radio Access Network) is composed of two main
modules: The IP based BSC and the IP based BTS. When an AirWalk IP-RAN is
installed in an ‘ALL-IP’ network the integrated BTS is controlled by the integrated BSC,
and the integrated BSC is controlled by a SS (Soft Switch). Legacy Switching Systems
can also control the integrated BSC through standards based interfaces.

9 Frequency Setting Procedures
9.1 BSM Management
The AW-96 series base stations are normally managed by the centrally located BSM
(Base Station Manager) system which communicates with the AW-96 over an IP
connection.
The BSM will download system software and configuration information which includes the
physical FA (Frequency Assignment) for each base station. The base station will tune to
the correct frequency as defined by the BSM configuration files.
Refer to the BSM operations manual for instructions on base station remote configuration.
9.2 Local FA Setting
It may required to set the AW-96 series base station physical FA (frequency assignment)
locally for specialized test purposes or when the BSM connection is unavailable (for
example during early BTS installations). This can be done using the local MMI (Man
Machine Interface) port and a local PC.
The configuration data downloaded from the BSM will override local settings when BSM
connections are established.
Refer to the MMI instruction manual for further information on other commands.
9.2.1 MMI Connection
Connect the serial port of the PC to the “BTS MMI” port on the AW-96 front panel. Use
the cable described in section 8.3.1 and the following port settings:
