The software is transferred to the ipBTS C30 over the Ethernet.• A cross-over ethernet cable with standard RJ-45 connectors.
Chapter 4 lRN commissioningRequirements4-2 910136 Rev01.00 Standard July 2007• The cross over cable is required to connect the laptop Ethernet port directly to the ADCC Ethernet port without going through an Ethernet switch. If you bring an Ethernet switch, then two straight-through Ethernet cables are also required (laptop to switch, and switch to ADCC).• Serial cable with male DB-9 connector for attaching to the female DB-9 on the ADCC side and a connector on the laptop side that is correct or the laptop’s serial port.• For information on the DB-9 pin-out, see Appendix A.• Power meter with a power sensor to test and set RF transmission power during commissioning with connector/adapter appropriate for the antenna cables exiting the Rox System rack seal.• 30 dB attenuator pad with connector appropriate for antenna jumper cable rated for a maximum of 50 watts.• A power splitter to split the transmit signal for use by the power meter and the AT, with appropriate cables and connector adapters.• A 13/16 inch open ended wrench.• A torque wrench with 13/16 inch open ended bit.• A 5/32 slotted screw driver.• A thread tapping kit with 1/4-20 thread bit at 3/4 inch depth.• 1xEV-DO access terminal (AT) for testing purposes.Software requirementsCommissioning requires the following software:• Commissioning script created by network planning personnel. The commissioning script comprehensively configures the ipBTS C30 for normal operations.The following software and hardware is also required if the field technician needs to change the software release running on the ipBTS C30:• SFTP client software to transfer the software release to the ipBTS C30. You can choose to use one of the open-source clients like WinSCP, PuTTY, or PSFTP, or any other third party application that supports these protocols. An SFTP connection is similar to a standard FTP connection but uses a secure communications tunnel. On a Windows computer connected to the network that includes the ipBTS C30, open a command prompt session. Examples in this guide use the PSFTP client. Type PSFTP IP.ADDRESS to open the connection.The ADCC software has an SFTP server that is used to transfer the release to the ipBTS system.• Terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal installed on the laptop.• The technician must configure the IP address of the laptop Ethernet NIC.IP must be configured on the laptop Ethernet NIC and on the ADCC Ethernet port in order to use SFTP to transfer the software release from the laptop to the ADCC.
Chapter 4 lRN commissioningCLI connectionAirvana ipBTS C30 Installation and Commissioning, Release 4.0 4-3• The new software release.CLI connectionThe command line interface (CLI) enables text-based, command-oriented management of the ipBTS. You can access the CLI in three ways:Connecting to the serial portThis is a direct connection to the serial port on the ADCC control card. This is the simplest form of CLI connection. It is only available when you are local to the serial port. This form of CLI connection is required during initial phases of commissioning. For example, you must use a CLI serial connection to set the Ethernet IP address if you then want to SSH using the Ethernet ports. The CLI/serial connection is made by connecting a laptop running terminal emulation software to the serial port on the ADCC module. You can only have a single serial connection to a ipBTS C30 when using a serial port. The serial connection requires a cable to link the serial port on the network element to a serial port (typically a COM port) on a laptop or other device. Launch a terminal emulation program on the laptop (such as HyperTerminal) and configure the communications settings appropriately. SSH using Ethernet portThis connection mode uses a laptop’s Ethernet adapter to connect to the Ethernet port on the ADCC module. Configure the IP address on the laptop attached to the Ethernet port, and establish an SSH session for CLI access.Make the CLI/SSH/ Ethernet connection by connecting an Ethernet adapter on your laptop to the Ethernet port on the ADCC module, directly using a straight through cable. You must configure appropriate IP addresses and masks on the ADCC Ethernet port (using the serial port) and on the laptop Ethernet port. Establish an SSH session and open a CLI session with the ipBTS C30 using the node IP address or the Ethernet IP address.Because you can open multiple CLI sessions at a time using SSH, this method is required during certain phases of the commissioning procedure.Straight throughserial cableipBTS RN ADCC Ethernet port

For more information, see Troubleshooting failed backhaul links on page 4-17.6. Removing physical loopbacks.This section explains the external loops at the far end of all cables must be removed once the Loopback testing is complete.For more information, see Removing physical loopbacks on page 4-19Once you have reviewed and understand the Loopback test process, continue with Backhaul loopback testing.Backhaul loopback testingLoopback testing each backhaul link is a critical step that must be completed before the technician leaves the site. These tests ensure the node is functional, the backhaul link(s) are properly wired into the backhaul and (optionally) that the backhaul cables and any external equipment to which they attach (up to the loop back point) are operational.NOTEThis testing does not include backhaul circuits, only physical layer functionality at the cell site. Backhaul circuits must undergo end-to-end testing and acceptance at the time they are brought up by the service provider.
Chapter 4 lRN commissioningPerforming Loopback tests4-14 910136 Rev01.00 Standard July 2007The extent of the loopback test (the amount of equipment and cabling that is tested) depends on where the physical loop back is installed. The farther away from the ipBTS C30 the loopback is installed, the greater the extent of the test, although Ethernet loopbacks cannot be installed at the far side of a router, switch, FRAD, or other edge device.NOTEIf a loopback is installed directly on the backhaul, a bare minimum is tested. For example, the backhaul cable exiting the ipBTS C30 is not tested.Airvana recommends installing the loopback at least as far as the far end of each backhaul cable exiting the ipBTS C30. Installation at that point includes the backhaul cable’s wiring into the Ethernet port and the backhaul cable itself.Maximum cable lengths must be considered when installing loopbacks. Loopbacks double the length of a cable (the cable length now equals the outgoing leg plus the return leg, or twice the physical cable length). Failure to consider this factor can result in failed loopback tests for cables that are flawless.The technician must have appropriate equipment and materials for installing and performing loopbacks.Ethernet loopbacksThe Ethernet loopback test has two parts: • Physically loopback the Ethernet • Run the loopback testThe loopback can be done externally on the cable or on the Ethernet port by physically connecting the receive wires (RXs) to the transmit wires (TXs). The loopback can also be done internally on the hardware transceiver chip. Looping back internally on the transceiver chip only tests limited hardware functionality and does not test the cable connection or the Ethernet port. Looping back externally tests more. The Ethernet loopback test is not a standard function of Ethernet, but is a value-added proprietary feature.Looping back Ethernet backhaul linksThis section explains how to install the physical loopbacks when Ethernet backhaul links are used. Install the loopback as far as possible along the length of the Ethernet. This increases the extent of the test. You cannot loopback the Ethernet at the far side of most network devices, including switches, routers, and FRADS. However, if the Ethernet backhaul cable is connected to a patch panel (or another passive, pass-through device), you can install the loopback at the far side of it and thereby include the patch panel in the test.Because Airvana does not specify the Ethernet cable/connector types, the details of looping back the Ethernet cables are site-dependent. Typically, Ethernet backhaul cables installed into the backhaul punch block have an RJ-45 jack at the far-end. This section provides the pin-out for the RJ-45 jack.
Chapter 4 lRN commissioningPerforming Loopback testsAirvana ipBTS C30 Installation and Commissioning, Release 4.0 4-15Physical loopbacks are created by physically connecting the positive transmit wire to the positive receive wire and connecting the negative transmit wire to the negative receive wire.NOTELoopbacks must be installed on all Ethernet backhaul cables. There is one Ethernet backhaul cable on non-redundant systems; there are two on redundant systems.1. Create the Loopback connector.• If the Ethernet at the point of the loopback installation has an RJ-45 connector on the far end, create a loopback connector using the pin-out in Table 4-1 on page 4-4.• If the Ethernet backhaul(s) have a different connector, create a loopback connector as appropriate.2. Install the loopback connector onto the far end of each Ethernet cable.Looping back at the Ethernet portTo install a physical loopback at the Ethernet port in preparation for running external loopback tests on Ethernet backhaul links, simply connect the loopback connector to the appropriate port. For information about how to create Ethernet loopback connectors, see Table 4-1 on page 4-4.NOTEWhen looping back at the port, the loopback test does not test the cable wired into the port or the or backhaul cables. This is the least desirable location to install the loopback and should only be used if the other options are not available.Entering diagnostic mode and configuring test parametersThis procedure explains how to initiate a hard reset and use the CLI to enter diagnostics mode.NOTETo perform Loopback tests, you must have a serial connection to the ipBTS C30.Follow this procedure to enter diagnostics mode and configure test parameters.1. Press the <Enter> key on your laptop to ensure the CLI session is active.The command prompt displays, which indicates the session is active.2.
