FCC Part 68
FCC Part 68 Requirements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and regulations. A label inside the cabinet
frame easily visible with the door open in the upper portion of the
cabinet contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of the devices which may
connect to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to incoming calls. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
If the dial–in site access modem causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company will notify you of the discontinuance as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your dial–in
site access modem. If this happens, the telephone company will provide
advance notice so that you can modify your equipment as required to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with the dial–in site access modem, please
contact:
Motorola Cellular Service Center (MCSC)
1501 W. Shure Drive
Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004
Phone Number: (847) 632–5390
for repair and/or warranty information. If the trouble is causing harm to
the telephone network, the telephone company may request you to
disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is solved.
You should not attempt to repair this equipment yourself. This
equipment contains no customer or user–serviceable parts.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could
void your authority to operate this equipment.

Optimization Overview
Scope of This Document
This document provides information pertaining to the optimization and
audit tests of Motorola SC 4812ET Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS)
equipment frames equipped with trunked high–power Linear Power
Amplifiers (LPAs) and their associated internal and external interfaces.
This document assumes the following prerequisites: The BTS frames
and cabling have been installed per the BTS Hardware Installation Manual
– 68P64114A22, which covers the physical “bolt down” of all SC series
equipment frames, and the specific cabling configurations.
Document Composition
This document covers the following major areas:
Introduction, consisting of preliminary background information (such
as component and subassembly locations and frame layouts) to be
considered by the Cell Site Field Engineer (CFE) before optimization
or tests are performed.
Preliminary Operations, consisting of cabinet power up and power
down procedures.
Optimization/calibration, covering topics of Local Maintenance
Facility (LMF) connection to the BTS equipment, Global Positioning
System (GPS) Verification, test equipment setup, downloading all
BTS processor boards, RF path verification, Bay Level Offset (BLO)
calibration and calibration audit, and Radio Frequency Diagnostic
System (RFDS) calibration.
Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs), consisting of ATP tests executed
by the LMF and used to verify all major transmit (TX) and
receive (RX) performance characteristics on all BTS equipment.
Preparing to leave the site, presents instructions on how to properly
exit customer site, ensure that all equipment is operating properly, and
all work is complete according to Motorola guidelines.
Basic troubleshooting, consisting of procedures for installation,
calibration, transmit and receive tests, backplane problems, GPS
failures, and module connectors.
Appendices contain pertinent Pseudorandom Noise (PN) Offset,
frequency programming, output power data tables, data sheets that are
filled out manually by the CFE at the site, and information on test
equipment preparation.

CDMA LMF Product Description
The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) LMF is a graphical user
interface (GUI) based LMF. This product is specifically designed to
provide cellular communications field personnel the vehicle to support
the following CDMA BTS operations:
Installation
Maintenance
Calibration
Optimization
The LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.
Activate the CLI by clicking on a shortcut icon on the desktop. The CLI
cannot be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.
Online Help
Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by clicking on Help
from the menu bar.
Why Optimize?
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
What Is Optimization?
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. Cables that interconnect the BTS and Duplexer
assemblies (if used), for example, are cut and installed at the time of the
BTS frame installation at the site. 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, causing
improper site operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for all receive and
transmit paths at the BTS site, and stores that value in a database.
The RX path starts at the ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX
directional coupler antenna feedline port, through the RX input port
on the rear of the frame, through the DDRCs, Multicoupler Preselector
Card (MPC), and additional splitter circuitry, ending at a CDMA
Channel Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band Transceiver
(BBX) slot in the C–CCP shelf.
A transmit path starts at the BBX, through the C–CCP backplane slot,
travels through the LPA/Combiner TX Filter and ends at the rear of
the input/output (I/O) Panel. If the RFDS option is added, then the
TX path continues and ends at the top of the RFDS TX directional
coupler antenna feedline port installed in the ancillary equipment
frame.

SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF

Apr 2001
Optimization Overview – continued
These values are factored in by the BTS equipment internally, leaving
only site specific antenna feed line loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining site Effective Radiated
Power (ERP) output power requirements.
Each C–CCP shelf BBX board is optimized to a specific RX and TX
antenna port. (One BBX board acts in a redundant capacity for BBXs
1–12, and is optimized to all antenna ports). A single value is generated
for each path, thereby eliminating the accumulation of error that would
occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of
each element in the path.
When to Optimize
New Installations
After the initial site installation, the BTS must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power
up, and GPS verification. Basic alarm tests are also addressed.
A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths is performed to verify factory
calibration.
A series of ATP CDMA verification tests are covered using the actual
equipment set up. An ATP is also required before the site can be placed
in service.
Site Expansion
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site.
Periodic Optimization
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
Repaired Sites
Verify repair(s) made to the BTS by consulting an Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix table. This table outlines the specific tests that must be
performed anytime a BTS subassembly or RF cable associated with it is
replaced.

During manual testing, you can substitute test equipment
with other test equipment models not supported by the
LMF, but those models must meet the same technical
specifications.
The customer has the responsibility of accounting 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, calibration, and characterization prior to BTS optimization.
Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
Test Cable Calibration
Equipment test cables are very important in optimization. Motorola
recommends that the cable calibration be run at every BTS with the test
cables attached. 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 is to account for the loss by entering it into the LMF
during the optimization procedure. This method requires accurate test
cable characterization in a shop. The cable should be tagged with the
characterization information prior to field optimization.
Equipment Warm–up
After arriving at the a site, the test equipment should be plugged in and
turned on to allow warm up and stabilization to occur for as long as
possible. The following pieces of test equipment must be warmed–up for
a minimum of 60 minutes prior to using for BTS optimization or RFDS
calibration procedures.

BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
The SC 4812ET BTS consists of an RF Cabinet that is an outdoor,
weatherized version of the SC 4812T. The RF cabinet is powered by
27 Vdc and each cabinet has the capability to support up to 4 carriers (at
3 sector) or 2 carriers (at 6 sector).
The RF Cabinet houses the fan modules, C–CCP, LPA modules, LPA
trunking backplane, Bandpass 2:1 & 4:1 Combiners, Duplexer/Receive
Filter/Directional Couplers (DRDC) and a DC Power distribution
assembly. The Power Cabinet (PC) provides +27 Vdc distribution and
battery backup for the SC 4812ET. The Power Cabinet houses batteries,
battery heaters, rectifiers, an AC Load Center (ACLC), a power
distribution assembly, and two duplexed GFCI convenience outlets.
Logical BTS
A logical BTS can consist of up to four SC 4812ET 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
CDF file that includes equippage information for all of the logical BTS
frames and their devices is required. A Centralized Base Station
Controller (CBSC) file that includes channel data for all of the logical
BTS fames is also required.
The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and
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 will only be one tab (e.g., FRAME–282–1) for BTS–282. If a
logical BTS has more than one frame, there will be a separate FRAME
tab for each frame (e.g. FRAME–438–1, FRAME–438–101, and
FRAME–438–202 for a BTS–438 that has all three frames). If an
RFDS is included in the CDF file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1)
will be 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.
C–CCP Shelf Card/Module Device ID Numbers
All cards/modules/boards in the frames at a single site, assigned to a
single BTS number, are also identified with unique Device ID numbers
dependent upon the Frame ID number in which they are located. Refer to
Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 for specific C–CCP Shelf Device ID numbers.

Sector Configuration
There are a number of ways to configure the BTS frame. Table 1-5
outlines the basic requirements. When carrier capacity is greater than
two, a 2:1 or 4:1 cavity combiner must be used. For one or two carriers,
bandpass filters or cavity combiners may be used, depending on
sectorization and channel sequencing.

Preliminary Operations: Overview
Introduction
This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
module placement, jumper, and dual in–line package (DIP) switch
settings against the site-specific documentation supplied for each BTS
application. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are
presented.
Cellsite Types
Sites are configured as with a maximum of 4 carriers, 3–sectored with a
maximum of 4 carriers, and 6–sectored with a maximum of 2 carriers.
Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
CDF
The Cell-site Data File (CDF) contains site type and equipage data
information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The
number of modem frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX2 and
MCC24E/MCC8E boards (per cage), and linear power amplifier
assignments are some of the equipage data included in the CDF.
Site Equipage Verification
Review the site documentation. Match the site engineering equipage data
to the actual boards and modules shipped to the site. Physically inspect
and verify the equipment provided for the BTS or Modem frame and
ancillary equipment frame.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance 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 bag it
was shipped in.
Initial Installation of
Boards/Modules
Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Boards/Modules
Step
Action
Refer to the site documentation and install all boards and modules into the appropriate shelves as
required. Verify they are NOT SEATED at this time.
As the actual site hardware is installed, record the serial number of each module on a “Serial Number
Checklist” in the site logbook.

Initial Power Up
Introduction
The following information is used to check for any electrical short
circuits and to verify the operation and tolerances of the cellsite and BTS
power supply units before applying power for the first time. It contains
instructional information on the initial proper power up procedures for
the SC 4812ET power cabinet and RF cabinet. Also presented are tests
to be preformed on the power cabinet. Please pay attention to all
cautions and warning statements in order to prevent accidental injury to
personnel.
Required Tools
The following tools are used in the procedures.
DC current clamp (600 Amp capability with jaw size to accommodate
2/0 cable).
Hot Air Gun – (optional for part of the Alarm Verification)
Digital Multimeter (DMM)
Cabling Inspection
Using the site-specific documentation generated by Motorola Systems
Engineering, verify that the following cable systems are properly
connected:
Receive RF cabling – up to 12 RX cables
Transmit RF cabling – up to six TX cables
IMPORTANT
For positive power applications (+27 V):
The positive power cable is red.
The negative power cable is black. (The black power
cable is at ground potential.)
Initial Inspection and Setup
CAUTION
Ensure all battery breakers for unused battery positions are
open (pulled out) during any part of the power up process,
and remain in the off position when leaving the site.
Table 2-2: Initial Inspection and Setup
Step
Action
Verify that ALL AC and DC breakers are turned OFF in both the Power and RF cabinets. Verify that
the DC power cables between the Power and RF cabinets are connected with the correct polarity
The RED cables connect to the uppermost three (3) terminals (marked +) in both cabinets. Confirm
that the split phase 240/120 AC supply is correctly connected to the AC load center input.

Initial Power Up – continued
CAUTION
Failure to connect the proper AC feed will damage the
surge protection module inside the AC load center.
Power Up Sequence
The first task in the power up sequence is to apply AC power to the
Power cabinet. Once power is applied a series of AC Voltage
measurements is required.
Table 2-3: AC Voltage Measurements
Step
Action
Measure the AC voltages connected to the AC load center (access the terminals from the rear of the
cabinet after removing the AC load center rear panel). See Figure 2-2.
Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 V AC.
Measure the AC voltage from terminal L1 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 V AC.
Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to neutral. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 V AC.
Measure the AC voltage from terminal L2 to ground. This voltage should be in the range of nominally
115 to 120 V AC.
Measure L1 – L2 – should be from 208 to 240 V AC.
CAUTION
If the AC voltages are in excess of 120 V (or exceed
200 V) when measuring between terminals L1 or L2 to
neutral or ground, STOP and Do Not proceed until the
cause of the higher voltages are determined. The power
cabinet WILL be damaged if the Main breaker is turned
on with excessive voltage on the inputs.

Applying AC Power
Once AC Voltage Measurements are complete, apply AC power to the
Power Cabinet. Table 2-4 provides the procedure for applying AC
power.
Table 2-4: Applying AC Power
Step
Action
When the input voltages are verified as correct, turn the Main AC breaker (located on the front of the
AC Load Center) ON. Observe that all eight (8) green LEDs on the front of the AC Load Center are
illuminated (see Figure 2-7).
Turn Rectifier 1 and Rectifier 2 AC branch breakers (on the AC Load Center) ON. All the installed
rectifier modules (see Figure 2-7) will start up and should each have two green LEDs (DC and Power)
illuminated.
Turn the Meter Alarm Panel module, ON (see Figure 2-3), while observing the K2 contact in the
PDA assembly (see Figure 2-9). The contact should close. The Meter Alarm Panel voltage meter
should read approximately 27.4 + 0.2 Vdc.
Turn the Temperature Compensation Panel (TCP) ON, (see Figure 2-4). Verify that the Meter Alarm
Control Panel does not have any alarm LEDs illuminated.
Check the rectifier current bargraph displays (green LED display on the rectifier module). None
should be illuminated at this point.
NOTE
If batteries are fitted, turn on the two battery heater AC
breakers on the AC Load Center.

Power Cabinet Power Up
Tests
Table 2-5 lists the step–by–step instructions for Power Up Tests.
Table 2-5: Power Cabinet Power Up Tests
Step
Action
Probe the output voltage test point on the Meter Alarm Panel while pressing the 25° C set button on
the TCP (see Figure 2-4). The voltage should read 27.4 + 0.2 Vdc. Adjust Master Voltage on Meter
Alarm Panel if necessary. Release the TCP 25° C set button.
Depending 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 25C, the voltage will be higher, and if it is
warmer than 25C, the voltage will be lower.
Ensure the RF cabinet 400 Amp main DC breaker is OFF.
Close the three (3) Main DC breakers on the Power Cabinet ONLY. Close by holding in the reset
button on the front of the PDA, and engaging one breaker at a time.
Measure the voltage between the + and – terminals at the rear of the Power Cabinet and the RF
Cabinet, observing that the polarity is correct. The voltage should be the same as the measurement in
step 2.
Place the probes across the black and red battery buss bars in each battery compartment. Place the
probe at the bottom of the buss bars where the cables are connected. The DC voltage should measure
the same as the previous step.

DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame)
Before applying any power to the BTS cabinet, verify there are no shorts
in the RF or power DC distribution system (see Figure 2-5).
Table 2-6: DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame)
Step
Action
Physically verify that all AC rectifiers supplying power to the RF cabinets are OFF or disabled (see
Figure 2-5). There should be no 27 Vdc on DC feed terminals.
On each RF cabinet:
Unseat all circuit boards/ modules in the distribution shelf, transceiver shelf, and Single Carrier
Linear Power Amplifier (SCLPA) shelves, but leave them in their associated slots.
Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.
Set C–CCP shelf breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (labeled
C–CCP 1, 2, 3 – located on the power distribution panel).
Set LPA breakers to the OFF position by pulling out power distribution breakers (8 breakers,
labeled 1A–1B through 4C–4D – located on the power distribution panel).
Verify that the resistance from the power (+) feed terminals with respect to the ground terminal on the
cabinet measures > 500 Ω (see Figure 2-5).
If reading is < 500 Ω, a short may exist somewhere in the DC distribution path supplied by the
breaker. Isolate the problem before proceeding. A reading > 3 MΩ could indicate an open (or
missing) bleeder resistor (installed across the filter capacitors behind the breaker panel).
Set the 400 Amp Main Breaker and the C–CCP breakers (C–CCP 1, 2, 3) to the ON position by
pushing them IN one at a time. Repeat step 3 after turning on each breaker.
* IMPORTANT
If, after inserting any board/module, the ohmmeter stays at 0 Ω, a short 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 DC/DC converter modules into their associated slots one at a time. Repeat step3
after inserting each module.
A typical response is that the ohmmeter will steadily climb in resistance as capacitors charge, finally
indicating approximately 500 Ω.
! CAUTION
Verify the correct power/converter modules by observing the locking/retracting tabs appear as follows:
–
(in +27 volt systems)
Insert and lock all remaining circuit boards and modules into their associated slots in the C–CCP shelf.
Repeat step 3 after inserting and locking each board or module.
A typical response is that the ohmmeter will steadily climb in resistance as capacitors charge,
stopping at approximately 500 Ω..

RF Cabinet Power Up
Table 2-7 covers the procedures for properly powering up the RF
Cabinet.
Table 2-7: RF Cabinet Power Up
Step
Action
Ensure the 400 Amp Main DC breaker and all other breakers in the RF Cabinet are OFF.
Proceed to the DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame) sequence (see Table 2-6) (for initial power–up as
required).
Ensure the power cabinet is turned on (see Table 2-5). Verify that 27 volts is applied to the terminals
on the back of the RF cabinet.
Engage the main DC circuit breaker on the RF cabinet (see Figure 2-5).
On each RF cabinet:
Set C–CCP shelf breakers to the ON position by pushing them in one at a time (labeled
C–CCP 1, 2, 3 – located on the power distribution panel).
Set LPA breakers to the ON position by pushing them in one at a time (8 breakers, labeled 1A–1B
through 4C–4D – located on the power distribution panel).
Set the two heat exchanger breakers to the ON position by pushing them in one at a time.
Set the ETIB breaker to the ON position by pushing it in.
Set the OPTION breaker to the ON position by pushing it in.

NOTE
For a three (3) sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.2 V.
For a twelve (12) sector carrier system, the voltage drop should be less than 0.3 V.
Using a DC current probe, measure the current in each of the six (6) DC cables that are connected

Battery Charge Test
(Connected Batteries)
Table 2-8 lists the step–by–step instructions for testing the batteries.
Table 2-8: Battery Charge Test (Connected Batteries)
Step
Action
Close the battery compartment breakers for connected batteries ONLY. This process should be
completed quickly to avoid individual battery strings with 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 is observed, turn off the Meter Alarm Panel power switch,
and then engage all the connected battery circuit breakers, the Meter Alarm Panel power switch
should then be turned ON.
Using the DC current probe, measure the current in each of the battery string connections to the buss
bars in each battery cabinet. 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.
The current in each string should be approximately equal (+ 5 A).
The bargraph meters on the rectifier modules can be used as a rough estimate of the total battery
charge current. Each rectifier module has eight (8) LEDs to represent the output current. Each
illuminated LED indicates that approximately 12.5% (1/8 or 8.75 A) of the rectifiers maximum (70 A)
current is flowing.
EXAMPLE:
Question: A system fitted with three (3) rectifier modules each have three bargraph LEDs
illuminated. What is the total output current into the batteries?
Answer: Each bargraph is approximately indicating 12.5% of 70 A, therefore, 3 X 8.75 equals
26.25 A. As there are three rectifiers, the total charge current is equal to (3 X 26.25 A) 78.75 A.
This charge current calculation only applies at this part of the start up procedure, when the RF Cabinet
is not powered on, and the power cabinet heat exchanger is turned off.
Allow 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 A.
Recheck the DC output voltage. It should remain the same as measured in step 4 of the Power Up
Test.
NOTE
If discharged batteries are installed, all bargraphs may be illuminated on the rectifiers during the
charge test. This indicates 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 2-9 only when the battery current is
less than 5 A per string. Refer to Table 2-8 on the procedures for
checking current levels.

Table 2-9: Battery Discharge Test
Step
Action
Turn the battery test switch on the Meter Alarm Panel, ON (see Figure 2-3). The rectifier output
voltage and current should decrease by approximately 10% as the batteries assume the load. Alarms
for the Meter Alarm Panel may occur.
Measure the individual battery string current using the DC current probe. The battery discharge
current in each string should be approximately the same (within + 5 A).
Turn Battery Test Switch OFF.
CAUTION
Failure to turn OFF the Battery Test Switch before leaving
the site, will result in low battery capacity and reduce
battery life.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides procedures for downloading system operating
software, set up of the supported test equipment, CSM reference
verification/optimization, and transmit/receive path verification.
IMPORTANT
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
After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations
(power up) have been completed, the CDMA LMF is used to calibrate
and optimize the BTS. The basic optimization process can be
accomplished as follows:
Download MGLI2–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI2–1.
Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of
the following types respond with status information: CSM2, BBX2,
GLI2, and MCC (and TSU if RFDS is installed). 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 file
will have to be corrected before the device can be accessed by CDMA
LMF.
Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
– CSM2
– BBX
– GLI2 (other than MGLI2–1)
– MCC
Download the RFDS TSIC (if installed).
Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.
Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
– Secondary CSM (slot 2)
– Primary CSM (slot 1)
– All MCCs
Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
Select the test equipment.
Calibrate the TX and RX test cables if they have not previously been
calibrated using the CDMA LMF that is going to be used for the
optimization/calibration. The cable calibration values can also be
entered manually.

Optimization/Calibration – Introduction – continued
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.
If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed
paths.
If the TX calibration fails again, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the full optimization for the failed path.
If the TX calibration and audit portion of the full optimization passes
for a path but some of the TX or RX tests fail, correct the problem that
caused the failure and run the individual tests as required until all TX
and RX tests have passed for all paths.
Cell–site Types
Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
Cell–site Data File
The CDF includes the following information:
Download instructions and protocol
Site specific equipage information
C–CCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX2 equipage (based on cell–site type) including redundancy
– CSM equipage including redundancy
– MCC (MCC24E, MCC8E or MCC–1X) channel element allocation
plan. This plan indicates how the C–CCP shelf is configured, and
how the paging, synchronization, traffic, and access channel
elements (and associated gain values) are assigned among the (up to
12) MCCs in the shelf.
CSM equipage including redundancy
Effective Rated Power (ERP) table for all TX channels to antennas
respectively. Motorola System Engineering specifies the ERP of a
transmit antenna based on site geography, antenna placement, and
government regulations. Working from this ERP requirement, the
antenna gain, (dependent on the units of measurement specified) and
antenna feed line loss can be combined to determine the required
power at the top of the BTS frame. The corresponding BBX2 output
level required to achieve that power level on any channel/sector can
also be determined.
NOTE
Refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A78,
for additional information on the layout of the LMF
directory structure (including CDF 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.
IMPORTANT
Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf 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 files can cause wrong
results. Failure to use the correct CDF files to log into a
live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
The CDF 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 CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide,
68P64114A78, or the LMF Help screen, for more information.
Site Equipage Verification
If you have not already done so, use an editor to view the CDF, and
review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage data
in the CDF to the actual site hardware.
CAUTION
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.

Isolate Span Lines/Connect LMF
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Spans
IMPORTANT
– At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the
BTS and place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT
remove the span surge protectors until the
OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS.
Each frame is equipped with one 50–pair punch block for spans,
customer alarms, remote GPS, and power cabinet alarms. See Figure 3-2
and refer to Table 3-1 for the physical location and pin call–out
information. To disable the span, pull the surge protectors for the
respective span.
Before connecting the LMF to the frame LAN, the OMC/CBSC must
disable the BTS and place it OOS to allow the LMF to control the
CDMA BTS. This prevents the CBSC from inadvertently sending
control information to the CDMA BTS during LMF based tests.
Configure Channel Service
Unit
The M–PATH 537 Channel Service Unit (CSU) provides in–band
SNMP–managed digital service access to T1 and fractional T1 lines.
M–PATH units plug into the ADC Kentrox 2–slot frame (see
Figure 3-1).
Remote M–PATH management is available via SNMP over an in–band
data link on the T1 line (using a facility data link or 8–64 Kbps of a DS0
channel). The unit at the near end of the management path can be an
SNMP manager or another M–PATH CSU.
Each 19 inch rack can support two CSU M–PATH 537 modules. Each
M–PATH 537 module supports one and only one span connection.
Programming of the M–PATH is accomplished through the DCE 9–pin
connector on the front panel of the CSU shelf. Manuals and a Microsoft
Windows programming disk is supplied with each unit.

Setting the Control Port
Whichever control port is chosen, it must first be set up so the control
port switches match the communication parameters being used by the
control device. If using the rear–panel DTE control port, set the
shelf–address switch SA5 to “up” (leave the switch down for the
rear–panel DCE control port).
For more information, refer to the Kentrox Installation Guide, manual
number 65–77538001 which is provided with each CSU.
Plug one of the cables listed below into the Control Port connectors:
Part Number
Description of Cable
01–95006–022 (six feet)
DB–9S to DB–9P
01–95010–022 (ten feet)
The control port cables can be used to connect the shelf to:
A PC using the AT 9–pin interface
A modem using the 9–pin connector
Other shelves in a daisy chain

Table 3-3: LMF Operating System Installation
Step
Action
Follow the instructions displayed on the Setup screen.
* IMPORTANT
First Time Installations:
– Install U/WIN (First)
– Install Java Runtime Environment (Second)
– Install LMF Software (Third)
– Install BTS Binaries (Fourth)
– Install/Create BTS Folders (Fifth)
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.
NOTE
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.
CDMA LMF Home Directory
The CDMA LMF installation program creates the default home directory
c:\wlmf, and installs the application files and subdirectories (folders)
in it. Because this can be changed at installation, the CDMA LMF home
directory will be referred to with the generic convention of:
:\
Where:
= the LMF computer drive letter where the CDMA LMF home
directory is located.
= the directory path or name where the CDMA
LMF is installed
NOTE
The CDMA LMF installation program creates the default
home directory c:\wlmf when the CDMA LMF is
installed.

Copy CBSC CDF Files to the
LMF Computer
Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF to execute optimization/ATP
procedures, the correct bts-#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf 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.
IMPORTANT
When copying CDF files, comply with the following to
prevent BTS login problems with the LMF.
– The numbers used in the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf
filenames must correspond to the locally assigned numbers
for each BTS and its controlling CBSC.
– The generic cbsc–1.cdf file supplied with the 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 3-4 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For any further information,
refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide (Motorola part number
68P64114A21) or the LMF Help screen..
Table 3-4: Copying CBSC CDF Files to the LMF
Step
Action
Login to the CBSC workstation.
Insert a DOS–formatted floppy diskette in the workstation drive.
Type eject –q and press .
Type mount and press .
NOTE
Look for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
If the eject command was previously entered, floppy/no_name will be appended with a number. Use
the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing step 7.
Change to the directory, where the files to be copied reside, by typing cd
(e.g., cd bts–248) and pressing .
Type ls and press the Enter key to display the list of files in the directory.

Table 3-4: Copying CBSC CDF Files to the LMF
Step
Action
With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files
on the diskette by entering the following command:
unix2dos /floppy/no_name/
(e.g., unix2dos bts–248.cdf /floppy/no_name/bts–248.cdf).
NOTE
Other versions of Unix do not support the unix2dos and dos2unix commands. In these cases, use the
Unix cp (copy) command. The copied files will be difficult to read with a DOS or Windows text
editor because Unix files do not contain line feed characters. Editing copied CDF files on the LMF
computer is, therefore, not recommended.
Using 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/na_name)
Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each bts–# that must be supported by the LMF.
When all required files have been copied to the diskette, type eject and press .
10
Remove the diskette from the CBSC drive.
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 files into the LMF computer.
13
Using Windows Explorer (or equivalent program), create a corresponding bts–# folder in the directory for each bts–#.cdf/cbsc–#.cdf file pair copied from the CBSC.
14
Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent program) to transfer the cbsc–#.cdf and bts–#.cdf files from the
diskette to the corresponding \wlmf\cdma\bts–# folders created in step 13.
Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Connection
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS FRUs
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 3-5 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.

Pinging the Processors
For proper operation, the integrity of the Ethernet LAN A and B links
must be be verified. Figure 3-5 represents a typical BTS Ethernet
configuration. The drawing depicts one (of two identical) links, A and B.
Ping is a program that sends request packets to the LAN network
modules to get a response from the specified “target” module.
Follow the steps in Table 3-7 to ping each processor (on both LAN A
and LAN B) and verify LAN redundancy is working properly.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD.

Using CDMA LMF
Basic LMF Operation
NOTE
The terms “CDMA LMF” and “WinLMF” are
interchangeable
The CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operating
environments which are accessed using the specified desktop icon:
Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon
The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.
Basic operation of the LMF GUI includes the following:
Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
Enabling devices
Disabling devices
Resetting devices
Obtaining device status
Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A78.
Basic LMF Command Line
Interface (CLI) Operation
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:
verb
device including device identifier parameters
switch
option 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–– rssi channel=6 sector=5
Refer to the LMF CLI Commands, R 15.X (68P09251A59) for a
complete explanation of the CLI commands and their use.
Logging into a BTS
IMPORTANT
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf file is
used for the BTS. These should be the CDF files that are
provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF files can result in wrong results. Failure to
use the correct CDF files to log into a live (traffic
carrying) site can shut down the site.
Logging into a BTS establishes a communications link between the BTS
and the CDMA LMF. You may be logged into one or more BTS’s at a
time, but only one LMF may be logged into each BTS.
Before attempting to log into the BTS, confirm the CDMA LMF is
properly connected to the BTS (see Figure 3-4). Follow the procedure in
Table 3-8 to log into a BTS.
Prerequisites
Before attempting to login to a BTS, ensure the following have been
completed:
The LMF is correctly installed and prepared.
A bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF and CBSC file exists.
The LMF is correctly installed and prepared, and the LMF computer
was connected to the BTS before starting the Windows operating
system and LMF software. If necessary, restart the computer after
connecting it to the BTS (see Table 3-6 and Figure 3-4).

Enable CSMs
Each BTS CSM system features two CSM boards per site. In a typical
operation, the primary CSM locks its Digital Phase Locked Loop
(DPLL) circuits to GPS signals. These signals are generated by either an
on–board GPS module (RF–GPS) or a remote GPS receiver (R–GPS).
The CSM2 card is required when using the R–GPS. The GPS receiver
(mounted on CSM 1) is used as the primary timing reference and
synchronizes the entire cellular system. CSM 2 provides redundancy (but
does not have a GPS receiver).
The BTS may be equipped with a LORAN–C LFR, HSO, or external 10
MHz Rubidium source which the CSM can use as a secondary timing
reference. In all cases, the CSM monitors and determines what reference
to use at a given time.
IMPORTANT
For RF–GPS, verify the CSM configured with the GPS
receiver “daughter board” is installed in the frame’s CSM 1
slot before continuing.
Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-16 to enable the CSMs installed in
the C–CCP shelves.
Table 3-16: Enable CSMs
Step
Action
Click on the target CSM.
From the Device pull down, select Enable.
NOTE
If equipped with two CSMs, enable CSM–2 first
A status report is displayed confirming change in the device(s) status.
Click OK to close the status report window.
NOTE
FAIL may be shown in the status table for enable action. If Waiting For Phase Lock is shown in the
Description field, the CSM changes to the Enabled state after phase lock is achieved.
CSM 1 houses the GPS receiver. The enable sequence can take up to one hour (see below).
* IMPORTANT
The GPS satellite system satellites are not in a geosynchronous orbit and are maintained and operated
by the United States Department of Defense (D.O.D.). The D.O.D. 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).

CSM System Time – GPS & LFR/HSO Verification
Clock Synchronization
Manager System Time
The primary function of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM)
boards (slots 1 and 2) is to maintain CDMA system time. The CSM in
slot 1 is the primary timing source while slot 2 provides redundancy.
The CSM2 card (CSM second generation) is required when using the
remote GPS receiver (R–GPS). R–GPS uses a GPS receiver in the
antenna head that has a digital output to the CSM2 card. CSM2 can have
a daughter card as a local GPS receiver to support an RF–GPS signal.
The CSM2 switches between the primary and redundant units (slots 1
and 2) upon failure or command. CDMA Clock Distribution Cards
(CCDs) buffer and distribute even–second reference and 19.6608 MHz
clocks. CCD 1 is married to CSM 1 and CCD 2 is married to CSM 2. A
failure on CSM 1 or CCD 1 cause the system to switch to redundant
CSM 2 and CCD 2.
Each CSM2 board features an ovenized, crystal oscillator that provides
19.6608 MHz clock, even second pulse, and 3 MHz referenced to the
selected synchronization source (see Table 3-19):
GPS: local/RF–GPS or remote/R–GPS
LORAN–C Frequency Receiver (LFR) or High Stability Oscillator
(HSO)
External reference oscillator sources
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 on CSM 1. During normal operation, the CSM 1
board selects GPS as the primary source (see Table 3-19). The source
selection can also be overridden via the LMF or by the system software.
Synchronization between the primary and redundant CSM CCD pairs, as
well as the LFR or HSO back–up to GPS synchronization, increases
reliability.
Low Frequency Receiver/
High Stability Oscillator
The CSM handles the overall configuration and status monitoring
functions of the LFR/HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the LFR/HSO is
capable of maintaining synchronization initially established by the GPS
reference signal.
The LFR requires an active external antenna to receive LORAN 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 indefinately after initial GPS lock.
3-32
SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF
DRAFT
Apr 2001
CSM System Time – GPS & LFR/HSO Verification – continued
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
LFR2/HSO2 (second generation cards) both export a timing signal to the
expansion or logical BTS frames. The associated expansion or logical
frames require an HSO–expansion (HSOX) whether the starter frame has
an LFR2 or an HSO2. The HSOX accepts input from the starter frame
and interfaces with the CSM cards in the expansion frame. LFR and
LFR2 use the same source code in source selection (see Table 3-19).
HSO, HSO2, and HSOX use the same source code in source selection
(see Table 3-19).
NOTE
Allow the base site and test equipment to warm up for
60 minutes after any interruption in oscillator power.
CSM board warm-up allows the oscillator oven
temperature and oscillator frequency to stabilize prior to
test. Test equipment warm-up allows the Rubidium
standard timebase to stabilize in frequency before any
measurements are made.

Test Equipment Set–up
Connecting Test Equipment to
the BTS
All test equipment is controlled by the LMF via IEEE–488/GPIB bus.
The LMF requires each piece of test equipment to have a factory set
GPIB address. If there is a communications problem between the LMF
and any piece of test equipment, verify that the GPIB addresses have
been set correctly (normally 13 for a power meter and 18 for a CDMA
analyzer).
The following test equipment is required to perform optimization,
calibration and ATP tests:
LMF
Test set
Directional coupler and attenuator
RF cables and connectors
Refer to Table 3-21 for an overview of connections for test equipment
currently supported by LMF. In addition, see the following figures:
Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 show the test set connections for TX
calibration
Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 show the test set connections for
optimization/ATP tests
Supported Test Sets
Optimization and ATP testing may be performed using one of the
following test sets:
CyberTest
Advantest R3465 and HP–437B or Gigatronics Power Meter
Hewlett–Packard HP 8935
Hewlett–Packard HP 8921 (W/CDMA and PCS Interface (1.9 GHz)
and HP–437B or Gigatronics Power Meter
Spectrum Analyzer (HP8594E) – optional
Rubidium Standard Timebase – optional
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the test equipment, all TX test
connections must be through the 30 dB directional coupler
for an 800 MHz BTS and the 30 dB directional coupler
plus a 20 dB in-line attenuator for a 1.9 GHz BTS.

Equipment Warm-up
IMPORTANT
Warm-up BTS equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes
prior to performing the BTS optimization procedure. This
assures BTS site stability and contributes to optimization
accuracy. (Time spent running initial 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 BBX
channels keyed. At active sites, have the OMC-R/CBSC
place the antenna (sector) assigned to the LPA under test
OOS. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
Cable Calibration Setup

Test Set Calibration
Background
Proper test equipment setup ensures that the test equipment and
associated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and that
measurements are correct.
NOTE
If the test set being used to interface with the BTS has been
calibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does not
need to be performed. (Test Set includes LMF terminal,
communications test set, additional test equipment,
associated test cables, and adapters.)
This procedure must be performed prior to beginning the optimization.
Verify all test equipment (including all associated test cables and
adapters actually used to interface all test equipment and the BTS) has
been calibrated and maintained as a set.
CAUTION
If any piece of test equipment, test cable, or RF adapter,
that makes up the calibrated test equipment set, has been
replaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do so
can introduce measurement errors, resulting in incorrect
measurements and degradation to system performance.
IMPORTANT
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipment
after it has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for a
minimum of 60 minutes.
Purpose
These procedures access the CDMA LMF automated calibration routine
used to determine the path losses of the supported communications
analyzer, power meter, associated test cables, and (if used) antenna
switch that make up the overall calibrated test set. After calibration, the
gain/loss offset values are stored in a test measurement offset file on the
CDMA LMF.

Selecting Test Equipment
Use LMF Options from the Options menu list to select test equipment
automatically (using the autodetect feature) or manually.
Prerequisites
A Serial Connection and a Network Connection tab are provided for
test equipment selection. The Serial Connection tab is used when the
test equipment items are connected directly to the CDMA LMF
computer via a GPIB box (normal setup). The Network Connection tab
is used when the test equipment is to be connected remotely via a
network connection.
Ensure the following has been completed before selecting test
equipment:
Test equipment is correctly connected and turned on.
CDMA LMF computer serial port and test equipment are connected to
the GPIB box.
Manually Selecting Test
Equipment in a Serial
Connection Tab
Test equipment can be manually specified before, or after, the test
equipment is connected. CDMA LMF does not check to see if the test
equipment is actually detected for manual specification.
Table 3-22: Selecting Test Equipment Manually in a Serial Connection Tab
Step
Action
From the Options menu, select LMF Options. The LMF Options window appears.
Click on the Serial Connection tab (if not in the forefront).
Select the correct serial port in the COMM Port pick list (normally COM1).
Click on the Manual Specification button (if not enabled).
Click on the check box corresponding to the test item(s) to be used.
Type the GPIB address in the corresponding GPIB address box. Recommended Addresses
13=Power Meter
18=CDMA Analyzer
Click on Apply. (The button will darken until the selection has been committed.)
NOTE
With manual selection, CDMA LMF does not detect the test equipment to see if it is connected and
communicating with CDMA LMF.

Automatically Selecting Test
Equipment in a Serial

When using the auto-detection feature to select test equipment, the
CDMA LMF examines which test equipment items are actually
communicating with CDMA LMF. Follow the procedure in Table 3-23
to use the auto-detect feature.
Table 3-23: Selecting Test Equipment Using Auto-Detect
Step
Action
From the Options menu, select LMF Options. The LMF Options window appears.
Click on the Serial Connection tab (if not in the forefront).
Select the correct serial port in the COMM Port pick list (normally COM1).
Click on Auto–Detection (if not enabled).
Type in the GPIB addresses in the box labeled GPIB address to search (if not already displayed).
NOTE
When both a power meter and analyzer are selected, the first item listed in the GPIB addresses to
search box will be used for RF power measurements (i.e., TX calibration). The address for a power
meter is normally 13 and the address for a CDMA analyzer is normally 18. If 13,18 is included in the
GPIB addresses to search box, the power meter (13) will be used for RF power measurements. If the
test equipment items are manually selected the CDMA analyzer is used only if a power meter is not
selected.
Click Apply. The button will darken until the selection has been committed. A check mark will
appear in the Manual Configuration section for detected test equipment items.

Calibrating Test Equipment
The calibrate test equipment function zeros the power measurement level
of the test equipment item that is to be used for TX calibration and audit.
If both a power meter and an analyzer are connected, only the power
meter is zeroed.
Calibrate Test Equipment from the Util menu list is used to calibrate
test equipment item before being used for testing. The test equipment
must be selected before beginning calibration. Follow the procedure in
Table 3-24 to calibrate the test equipment.
Table 3-24: Test Equipment Calibration
Step
Action
From the Util menu, select Calibrate Test Equipment. A Directions window is displayed. Follow
the instructions provided.
Follow the direction provided.
Click on Continue to close the Directions window. A status window is displayed.
Click on OK to close the status report window.
Calibrating Cables
The cable calibration function is used to measure the loss (in dB) for the
TX and RX cables that are to be used for testing. A CDMA analyzer is
used to measure the loss of each cable configuration (TX cable
configuration and RX cable configuration). The cable calibration
consists of the following steps.
Measure the loss of a short cable. This is done to compensate for any
measurement error of the analyzer. The short cable, which is used only
for the calibration process, is used in series with both the TX and RX
cable configuration when they are measured. The measured loss of the
short cable is deducted from the measured loss of the TX and RX
cable configuration to determine the actual loss of the TX and RX
cable configurations. This deduction is done so any error in the
analyzer measurement will be adjusted out of both the TX and RX
measurements.
The short cable plus the RX cable configuration loss is measured. The
RX cable configuration normally consists only of a coax cable with
type–N connectors that is long enough to reach from the BTS RX port
the test equipment.
The short cable plus the TX cable configuration loss is measured. The
TX cable configuration normally consists of two coax cables with
type–N connectors and a directional coupler, a load, and an additional
attenuator if required by the BTS type. The total loss of the path loss
of the TX cable configuration must be as required for the BTS
(normally 30 or 50 dB). The Motorola Cybertest analyzer is different
in that the required attenuation/load is built into the test set so the TX
cable configuration consists only of the required length coax cable.

Bay Level Offset Calibration
Introduction
Calibration compensates for normal equipment variations within the
BTS and assures maximum measurement accuracy.
RF Path Bay Level Offset
Calibration
Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path
(BBX2 slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in the CAL file. The
BLOs are subsequently downloaded to each BBX2.
Each receive path starts at a BTS RX antenna port and terminates at a
backplane BBX2 slot. Each transmit path starts at a BBX2 backplane
slot, travels through the LPA, and terminates at a BTS TX antenna port.
Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path
(BBX2 slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in the CAL file. Each
transmit path starts at a C–CCP shelf backplane BBX2 slot, travels
through the LPA, and ends at a BTS TX antenna port. When the TX path
calibration is performed, the RX path BLO will automatically be set to
the default value.
When to Calibrate BLOs
Calibration of BLOs is required after initial BTS installation.
The BLO data of an operational BTS site must be re-calibrated once
each year. Motorola recommends re-calibrating the BLO data for all
associated RF paths after replacing any of the following components or
associated interconnecting RF cabling:

TX Path Calibration
The TX Path Calibration assures correct site installation, cabling, and the
first order functionality of all installed equipment. The proper function
of each RF path is verified during calibration. The external test
equipment is used to validate/calibrate the TX paths of the BTS.
WARNING
Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX
OUT connector you must first verify that there are no
CDMA channels keyed. Have the OMC–R place the sector
assigned to the LPA under test OOS. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module. If this is not done,
there is a high probability that the card/module could be
damaged by ESD.
IMPORTANT
3-60
At new site installations, to facilitate the complete test of
each CCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populated
with BBX2 boards), move BBX2 boards from shelves
currently not under test and install them into the empty
BBX2 slots of the shelf currently being tested to insure that
all BBX2 TX paths are tested.
– This procedure can be bypassed on operational sites
that are due for periodic optimization.
– Prior to testing, view the CDF file to verify the
correct BBX2 slots are equipped. Edit the file as
required to include BBX2 slots not currently
equipped (per Systems Engineering documentation).

BLO Calibration Data File
During the calibration process, the LMF creates a calibration (BLO) data
file. After calibration has been completed, this offset data must be
downloaded to the BBX2s using the Download BLO function. An
explanation of the file is shown below.
NOTE
Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends that you
print out a hard copy of a bts.cal file and refer to it for the
following descriptions.
The CAL file is subdivided into sections organized on a per slot basis (a
slot Block).
Slot 1 contains the calibration data for the 12 BBX2 slots. Slot 20
contains the calibration data for the redundant BBX2 (see Table 3-31).
Each BBX2 slot header block contains:
A creation Date and Time – broken down into separate parameters of
createMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.
The number of calibration entries – fixed at 720 entries corresponding
to 360 calibration points of the CAL file including the slot header and
actual calibration data.
The calibration data for a BBX2 is organized as a large flat array. The
array is organized by branch, BBX2 slot, and calibration point.
– The first breakdown of the array indicates which branch the
contained calibration points are for. The array covers transmit, main
receive and diversity receive offsets as follows:

Refer to the hard copy of the file. As you can see, 10 calibration
points per sector are supported for each branch. Two entries are
required for each calibration point.
The first value (all odd entries) refer to the CDMA channel
(frequency) the BLO is measured at. The second value (all even
entries) is the power set level. The valid range for PwrLvlAdj is from
2500 to 27500 (2500 corresponds to –125 dBm and 27500
corresponds to +125 dBm).

Bay Level Offset Calibration – continued
The 20 calibration entries for each slot/branch combination must be
stored in order of increasing frequency. If less than 10 points
(frequencies) are calibrated, the largest frequency that is calibrated is
repeated to fill out the 10 points.
Example:
C[1]=384,
odd cal entry
= 1 ‘‘calibration point”
C[2]=19102, even cal entry
C[3]=777,
C[4]=19086,
C[19]=777,
C[20]=19086, (since only two cal points were calibrated this
would be repeated for the next 8 points)
When the BBX2 is loaded with BLO data, the cal file data for the
BBX2 is downloaded to the device in the order it is stored in the CAL
file. TxCal data is sent first, C[1] – C[60]. BBX2 slot 1’s 10
calibration points are sent (C[1] – C[20]), followed by BBX2 slot 2’s
10 calibration points (C[21] – C[40]), etc. The RxCal data is sent next,
followed by the RxDCal data.
Temperature compensation data is also stored in the cal file for each
slot.

Transmit (TX) Path Calibration
The assigned channel frequency and power level (as measured at the top
of the frame) for transmit calibration is derived from the site CDF file.
For each BBX2, the channel frequency is specified in the ChannelList
CDF file parameter and the power is specified in the SIFPilotPwr
CDF file parameter for the sector associated with the BBX2 (located
under the ParentSECTOR field of the ParentCARRIER CDF file
parameter).
The calibration procedure attempts to adjust the power to within +0.5 dB
of the desired power. The calibration will pass if the error is less than
+1.5 dB.
The TX Bay Level Offset at sites WITHOUT the directional coupler
option, is approximately 42.0 dB ±3.0 dB.
At sites WITHOUT RFDS option, BLO is approximately
42.0 dB ±4.0 dB. A typical example would be TX output power
measured at BTS (36.0 dBm) minus the BBX2 TX output level
(approximately –6.0 dBm) would equate to 42 dB BLO.
The TX Bay Level Offset at sites WITH the directional coupler option,
is approximately 41.4 dB ±3.0 dB. TX BLO = Frame Power Output
minus BBX2 output level.
Example: TX output power measured at RFDS TX coupler
(39.4 dBm) minus the BBX TX output level (approximately
–2.0 dBm) and RFDS directional coupler/cable (approximately
–0.6 dBm) would equate to 41.4 dB BLO.
The LMF Tests menu list items, TX Calibration and All Cal/Audit,
perform the TX BLO Calibration test for a XCVR(s). The All Cal/Audit
menu item performs TX calibration, downloads BLO, and performs TX
audit if the TX calibration passes. All measurements are made through

RFDS Calibration
The RFDS Calibration option is used to calibrate the RFDS TX and RX
paths. 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.
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 XCVR. A CDMA signal at the same power level measured by the
BTS XCVR is then injected at the RX antenna directional coupler by the
CDMA communications analyzer. The difference (offset) between the
RFDS keyed power level and power level measured at the BTS XCVR is
the RFDS RX calibration offset value.
The TX and RX RFDS calibration offset values are written to the CAL
file.

Alarms Testing
Alarm Verification
The alarms testing should be performed at a convenient point in the
optimization/ATP process, since the LMF is necessary to ensure that the
RF cabinet is receiving the appropriate alarms from the power cabinet.
The SC 4812ET is capable of concurrently monitoring 10 customer
defined input signals and four customer defined outputs, which interface
to the 50–pin punchblock. All alarms are defaulted to “Not Equipped”
during ATP testing. Testing of these inputs is achieved by triggering the
alarms and monitoring the LMF for state–transition messages from the
active MGLI2.
All customer alarms are routed through the 50 pair punchblock located
in the I/O compartment at the back of the frame. Testing is best
accomplished by using a specialized connector that interfaces to the
50–pair punchblock. This connector is wired so that customer return 1 (2
for the B side) is connected to every input, CDI 0 through CDI 17.
Alarm Reporting Display
The Alarm Monitor window can be displayed to list alarms that occur
after the window is displayed. To access the Alarm Monitor window,
select Util>Alarm Monitor.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedures – Overview
Introduction
The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Motorola
Cellular Field Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all
equipped BTS subsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility
(LMF) and supported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File
(CDF) assignment.
The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to a
file that can be printed. All tests are controlled via the LMF platform
using the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipment
supported by the LMF can be used.
This chapter describes the tests run from the GUI environment, which is
the recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages of
simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeying
commmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the execution
of complex operations involving multiple command strings. If you feel
the command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into the
progress of ATPs and problems that could possibly be encountered, refer
to LMF CLI Commands, R15.X (68P09251A59).
IMPORTANT
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.
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.
NOTE
Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on test set
connections for calibrating equipment, cables and other test
set components, if required.
Customer requirements determine which ATP tests to are to be
performed and the field engineer selects the appropriate ATP tests to run.
The tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:
All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.
These include the GLI2, MCC, BBX2, and CIO cards, the LPAs and
passive components including splitters, combiners, bandpass filter,
and RF cables.

All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.
These includes the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion
frames), CIO, BBX2, MCC, and GLI2 cards and the passive
components including RX filter (starter frame only), and RF cables.
All TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests.
Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, download BLO, and
TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests.
ATP Tests Prerequisites
Before attempting to run any ATP tests, ensure the following:
BTS has been optimized and calibrated (see Chapter 3).
LMF is logged into the BTS
CSMs, GLI2s, BBX2s, MCCs and TSU (if the RFDS is installed)
have correct code load and data load
Primary CSM and GLI2 are INS_ACT
MCCs are INS_ACT
BBX2s are OOS-RAM
BBX2s are calibrated and BLOs are downloaded
Test cables are calibrated
Test equipment is selected
Test equipment is connected for ATP tests
Test equipment has been warmed up 60 minutes and calibrated
GPIB is on
WARNING
Before the FER is run, be sure that all LPAs are turned
OFF (circuit breakers pulled) or that all transmitter ports
are properly terminated.
All transmit ports must be properly terminated for all ATP
tests.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in bodily
injury or equipment damage.
TX/RX OUT Connections
IMPORTANT
4-2
Many of the acceptance test procedures require taking
measurements at the TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector. At
sites with RFDS, all measurements are through the RFDS
directional coupler TX OUT connector.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedure – Overview – continued
ATP Test Procedure
There are three different ATP testing options that can be performed to
completely test a BTS. Depending on your requirements, one of the
following ATP testing options should be run.
Table 4-1 provides the procedure to execute an ATP test. To completely
test a BTS, run the ATP tests according to one of the following ATP
testing options.
ATP Testing Option 1
All TX/RX test
ATP Testing Option 2
All TX test
All RX test
ATP Testing Option 3
TX Mask test
Rho test
Pilot Time Offset test
Code Domain Power test
FER test
NOTE
The Full Optimization test can be run if you want the TX
path calibrated before all the TX and RX tests are run.
IMPORTANT
If manual testing has been performed with the HP analyzer,
remove the manual control/system memory card from the
card slot and set the IO CONFIG to the Talk & Listen
mode before starting the automated testing.
Individual Acceptance Tests
The following individual ATP tests can be used to verify the results of
specific tests:
Spectral Purity TX Mask
This test verifies that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform,
generated on each sector, meets the transmit spectral mask specification
with respect to the assigned CDF file values.

Waveform Quality (rho)
This test verifies that the transmitted Pilot channel element digital
waveform quality (rho) exceeds the minimum specified value in
ANSI–J_STD–019. “Rho” represents the correlation between actual and
perfect CDMA modulation spectrum. A rho value of 1.0000 represents
100% (or perfect correlation).
Pilot Time Offset
The Pilot Time Offset is the difference between the CDMA analyzer
measurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference) and the
incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only, Pilot
Gain = 262, PN Offset = 0).
Code Domain Power
This test verifies code domain power levels, which have been set for all
ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is
done by verifying that the ratio of PILOT divided by OCNS is equal to
10.2 + 2 dB, and, that the noise floor of all EVEN numbered “OFF”
Walsh channels measures < –27 dB .
Frame Error Rate
The Frame Error Rate (FER) test verifies RX operation of the entire
CDMA Reverse Link using all equipped MCCs assigned to all
respective sector/antennas. The test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all
traffic channel elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs at
an RF input level of –119 dBm (or –116 dBm if using TMPC). Follow
the procedure in Table 4-1 to perform any ATP test.
NOTE
The STOP button can be used to stop the testing process.
Table 4-1: ATP Test Procedure

TX Spectral Purity Transmit Mask Acceptance Test
Background: Tx Mask Test
This test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX2 carrier keyed up at a
specific frequency, per the current CDF file assignment. All tests are
performed using the external calibrated test set, controlled by the same
command. All measurements are through the appropriate TX OUT
(BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna and all channel elements
from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX2 is keyed up, using
both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only). BBX2 power output is set to obtain +40 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDS
directional coupler).
NOTE
TX output power is set to +40 dBm by setting BTS power
level to +33.5 dBm to compensate for 6.5 dB increase from
pilot gain set to 541.
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the
attenuation level of all spurious and IM products in a 30 kHz resolution
bandwidth with respect to the mean power of the CDMA channel,
measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth, in dB, verifying that results meet
system tolerances at the following test points:
1.9 GHz
– at least –45 dB @ + 900 kHz from center frequency
– at least –45 dB @ – 900 kHz from center frequency
800 MHz:

The BBX2 then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX2 to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated.

TX Waveform Quality (rho) Acceptance Test
Background: Rho Test
This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element digital waveform
quality of each BBX2 carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the
current CDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the external
calibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurements
are via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all channel elements
from the MCCs will be forward link disabled. The BBX2 is keyed up
using both bbxlvl and bay level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier
(with pilot channel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX2 power output is
set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS
or RFDS directional coupler).
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
channel element digital waveform quality (rho) in dB, verifying that
result meets system tolerances Waveform quality (rho) should be > 0.912
(–0.4 dB).
The BBX2 then de-keys and the applicable redundant BBX2 is assigned
to the current TX antenna path under test. The test is then repeated.
The LMF Tests menu list item, Rho, performs the waveform quality test
for a XCVR(s). All measurements are made through the appropriate TX
output connector using the calibrated TX cable setup.

Acceptance Test
This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element Pilot Time Offset
of each BBX2 carrier keyed up at a specific frequency per the current
CDF file assignment. All tests are performed using the external
calibrated test set controlled by the same command. All measurements
will be via the appropriate TX OUT (BTS/RFDS) connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna and all TCH elements from
the MCCs are forward link disabled. The BBX is keyed up using both
bbxlvl and bay level offsets to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot
channel element only, Walsh code 0). BBX power output is set to
40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or
RFDS directional coupler).
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
Time Offset in uS, verifying results meet system tolerances: Pilot Time
Offset should be within < 3 µs of the target PT Offset (0 mS).
The BBX2 then de-keys, and the applicable redundant BBX2 is assigned
to the current TX antenna path under test. The test is then repeated.

TX Code Domain Power Acceptance Test
Background: Code Domain
Power Test
This test verifies the Code Domain Power/Noise of each BBX2 carrier
keyed up at a specific frequency per the current CDF file assignment.
All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set controlled by
the same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT
(BTS/RFDS) connector.
For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262 and all
MCC channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal
Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes, and are
assigned a full–rate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC/CEs to
be tested an any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes). If more than 32
CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made, so all channel
elements are verified on all sectors.
BBX2 power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT
connector (on either the BTS or RFDS directional coupler).
Code domain power levels, which have been set for all ODD numbered
Walsh channels, are verified using the OCNS command. This is done by
verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) is equal to
10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all “OFF” Walsh channels
measures < –27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power).
The BBX2 then de-keys and, the applicable redundant BBX2 is assigned
to the current TX antenna path under test. The test is then repeated.
Upon completion of the test, OCNS is disabled on the specified
MCC/CE.

RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test
Background: FER Test
This test verifies the BTS Frame Error Rate (FER) on all traffic channel
elements currently configured on all equipped MCCs (full rate at 1%
FER) at an RF input level of –119 dBm [or –116 dBm if using Tower
Top Amplifier (TMPC)]. All tests are performed using the external
calibrated test set as the signal source controlled by the same command.
All measurements will be via the LMF.
The pilot gain is set to 262 for each TX antenna and all channel elements
from the MCCs are forward-link disabled. The BBX2 is keyed up using
only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with pilot channel
element only). BBX2 power output is set to –20 dBm as measured at the
TX OUT connector (on either the BTS or RFDS directional coupler).
The BBX2 must be keyed in order to enable the RX receive circuitry.
The LMF prompts the MCC/CE under test to measure all zero longcode
and provide the FER report on the selected active MCC on the reverse
link for both the main and diversity RX antenna paths, verifying the
results meet the following specification: FER returned less than 1% and
total frames measured is 1500.
All MCC/CEs selected are tested on the specified RX antenna path. The
BBX then de-keys and, the applicable redundant BBX2 is assigned to
the current RX antenna paths under test. The test is then repeated.
