2.6 GPS Installation
GPSs are used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located sectors to ensure that
in all sectors the air frame starts at the same time, and that all sectors switch from transmit (downlink) to
receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site
sectors interference and saturation (assuming that all sectors are operating with the same frame size and
with the same DL/UL ratio).
Usually the GPS is installed on the top of the tower, However it can be installed on the carriage with a
special mounting kit.
Make sure to position the GPS such that there is no obstacle (buildings, antennas, chimney, large trees,
etc.) casting a shadow over the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna should have 360° open sky with no
obstacles.

The recommended minimum distance between any two antennas in neighboring sectors is 0.5 m.
The minimum distance between any two antennas in the same sector (space diversity configuration) is
1.3 m, that is 10 lambda (λ), where λ=C/Frequency (Hz). C is the speed of light in centimeters per
second which is equal to 29,979,245,800.

2.8 System Initial Verification
After powerup, the BTS automatically starts a self-testing procedure to verify that the BTS has been
correctly assembled and installed on site, all its components are functioning properly, and that it is now
ready for commissioning. During the self-test, the LEDs indicate the working status of the various
components.
1Verify that the BTS is connected to an AC power source.
2Upon completion of the internal test and boot up (up to 5 minutes), verify that the following LEDs are
lit as follows:
Upon power-up completion, the BTS is ready for basic network definition.
To perform testing:

Name Description Functionality
PWR Power indication Green - Power provided to the unit is OK
ALRM Alarm indication Lights at power up
Turns off after power up is complete
Lights on runtime in case of critical failure
GPS GPS status indication Lights at power up
Turns off after power up is complete
Lights when the GPS is reporting at least four satellites or more
reception.
Blinks (0.5 Sec on, 0.5 Sec off) when the number of satellites
decreases from 4 to 3 or 2 satellites or the min. configured value.
Turns off when only one satellite is received, or the minimum
configured value of GPS is not operational or not installed.
Lights again when the unit is regaining satellites reception of 4
satellites or more.

Chapter 2 - Commissioning Introduction
2.1 Introduction
After completing the installation process some basic unit's parameters must be configured locally using
the Monitor program to enable discovery by the Element Management System and remote management
of the unit.
Refer to “The Monitor Program” on page 81 for information on how to access the Monitor program
using Telnet and how to use it.
It is assumed that the unit is a new one (was never configured after being shipped from factory).
Otherwise, it is recommended to reset the unit to its factory default values before proceeding with
following configuration steps: Enter the Monitor program and select BTS>Unit Control>ShutDown
Operation>Update>resettoFactoryDefault (you will be prompted to confirm the requested action).

2.2 Configuring Parameters Required for
Management Connectivity
The following section describes the minimum mandatory configuration actions required to allow remote
management of the site and to enable discovery by the Element Management System:
Configuring the BTS Number
Configuring the Management Interface Connectivity Mode Parameter
Configuring the IP Interfaces Parameters
Configuring the L1 and L2 Parameters (if necessary)
Configuring the SNMP Authorized Manager and Traps Manager
Applying the Configuration
2.2.1 Configuring the BTS Number
In the Main menu of the Monitor program, select BTS>General>Update and configure the BTS number.
The BTS Number must be unique in the Radio Access Network. The default (0) is not a legitimate value.
2.2.2 Configuring the Management Interface Connectivity
Mode Parameter
The default Connectivity Mode is inband. If a different Connectivity Mode is required, select
BTS>Connectivity>Management Interface>Update. You will be prompted to configure the Connectivity
Mode.
2.2.3 Configuring the IP Interfaces Parameters
For more information on IP Interfaces parameters refer to “Configuring the IP Interfaces Parameters” on
page 42. Note that configuration of certain parameters may depend on the value to be configured for
the BS Bearer IP Address (see )
Select BTS>Connectivity>IP Interfaces>Update. You will be prompted to configure the following
parameters (for some parameters you may just press Enter to keep the default value):
Bearer Subnet Mask (the default is 255.255.255.0).
Bearer Next Hop Gateway. Must be within the range defined by BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer
Subnet Mask. The default is 0.0.0.0. Must be changed to a valid value if IP addresses of core network
equipment is not within the range defined by BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer Subnet Mask.
Bearer VLAN ID (default 11).
Default Authenticator IP. The default is 0.0.0.0. Must be changed to a valid value if IP address of
default authenticator ASN-GW is not within the range defined by BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer
Subnet Mask.
