Overview

This procedure gives instructions to connect the LMF to the BTS.

LMF to BTS Connection

The LMF is connected to the MMI/LMF connector on the diagnostic

access area.

The LMF serial port, or PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card

International Association) Serial Adapter provides the connection

between the LMF and the MMI/LMF connector located on the

diagnostic access area.

There are three different methods to connect the LMF to the BTS: serial

port to DB9, Ethernet via Ethernet hub, and Ethernet via crossover

connection.

Procedure to Connect LMF to

BTS via Serial Port Connection

Connect the LMF to the BTS. Refer to Figure 7-6, Figure 7-10, and

Table 7-2.

Procedure to Connect LMF to

BTS via Ethernet Connection

You can connect the LMF to the BTS via an Ethernet connection.

Depending upon site configuration, you can use an Ethernet connection

with or without an Ethernet hub. For example, if your BTS is mounted

on a pole and there is no power connection available for the Ethernet

hub, then you can connect to the BTS via a RJ45 crossover cable or a

MMI to LAN crossover adapter. In either case, you must configure

either the RJ45 cable or the adapter to a crossover configuration.

Ethernet connection via Ethernet hub

To connect the LMF to the BTS via an Ethernet connection using an

Ethernet hub, refer to Figure 7-7, Figure 7-10, and Table 7-2.

Overview

The following test equipment setup applies to the BTS Acceptance Test

Procedure (ATP).

The SCt300 BTS supports the following test sets for IS95 A/B testing:

1. Advantest R3465 with R3561 Signal Generator.

2. Motorola CyberTest

3. HP 8921A (for 800 MHz testing only)

4. Aglient 8935 Series E6380A (formally HP8935)

The 1X SCt300 BTS supports the following test sets for CDMA2000

1X testing:

1. Advantest R3267 with R3562 Signal Generator

2. Agilent E4406A with E4432B Signal Generator

If you are not going to perform the ATP, then proceed to

the “Creating a Named HyperTerminal Connection for

MMI Communication” procedure in this chapter.

NOTE

Equipment warm-up

Warm-up BTS equipment site for a minimum of 60

minutes prior to the BTS ATP. This assures BTS site

stability and contributes to test accuracy.

(Time spent running initial power–up, hardware/firmware

audit, and BTS download counts as warm–up time).

IMPORTANT

Warm-up test equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes

prior to their use in the BTS ATP. This assures maximum

equipment measurement accuracy and consistency during

testing.

IMPORTANT

All test equipment is controlled by the LMF via a Serial Cable/GPIB

bus. The LMF expects 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, you should verify that the GPIB

addresses have been set correctly.

Objective

The objective of this procedure is to configure the BTS and establish

communication sessions between the LMF and BTS. This procedure

consists of:

1. Creating a named hyperterminal connection for MMI

communication

2. Establishing an MMI communication session

3. Verify and set IP address

4. Programming customer operating channel

5. Verifying BTS synchronization mode

6. Verifying DPLL tracking

7. Setting frame_id

Procedure to Create a Named

HyperTerminal Connection for

MMI Communication

Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field

Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI communication

session between the CDMA LMF computer and the FRU. Using features

of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI

session can be saved on the CDMA 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 7-6 to establish a named HyperTerminal

connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.

Table 7-6: Procedure to Create a Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Communication

Synchronization Background

GPS

GPS is typically used as the primary timing reference for CDMA BTSs.

In applications where RGPS is used, the BTS is said to be synchronous

with CDMA system time. The RGPS provides a 1 Pulse Per Second

timing reference and Time Of Day information to allow the BTS to

synchronize to CDMA system time.

HSO

A High Stability Oscillator (HSO) within the BTS provides a backup

timing reference in the event of a GPS outage. Using only the HSO, the

BTS can maintain CDMA system time for up to 24 hours. The BTS can

also use the HSO as the primary timing reference (non–synchronous

operation). However, synchronization to CDMA system time is not

possible. The HSO provides a 1 Pulse Per Second timing reference to

allow the BTS to remain synchronized to CDMA system time in the

event of a GPS outage (synchronous operation) or to provide a stable

frequency reference (non–synchronous operation).

The HSO must be installed with GPS tracking for at least

24 hours before the HSO can provide 24 hours of backup

for CDMA system time synchronization.

NOTE

BTS

The BTS uses a Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) to track the RGPS

and/or HSO and generate a 19.6608 MHz CDMA timing reference. This

timing reference, in conjunction with Time Of Day information provided

by the RGPS, allows the BTS to synchronize to CDMA system time. A

2 Second reference is also generated by the BTS to allow alignment of

Pilot offsets for the BTS and external test equipment. Both the 19.6608

MHz (19 MHz) and 2 Second (2 Sec) references are available via SMA

connectors located in the Diagnostic Access Area.

In order for the DPLL to begin the RGPS tracking process, the RGPS

must be tracking GPS satellites. In order for the DPLL to begin the

HSO tracking process, the BTS must be powered up (warmed) for at

least 15 minutes.

The DPLL status is defined as being in one of five states: Init, Warm,

A1, A2 and TK.

SThe Init state is the starting state of the DPLL.

SThe Warm state is the condition during the 15 minute BTS warm up

time.

SThe A1 and A2 states are acquisition states when the DPLL is

adjusting the 19.6608 MHz frequency based on the available reference

sources (RGPS or HSO). Under normal operating conditions, the

acquisition states last about 5 minutes.

SThe TK state is the DPLL tracking state and is entered at the end of

the acquisition states. The TK state is required for performing ATP.

Procedure to Verify and

Change BTS Synchronization

Mode

The Sync button in the Diagnostic Access Area is used to toggle the

RGPS or HSO as the primary timing reference for the BTS. If the

External indicator in the Diagnostic Access Area is illuminated, the BTS

expects an RGPS to be present for use as the primary timing reference.

If the External indicator is not illuminated, the BTS will use the internal

HSO as the primary timing reference.

Use the procedure in Table 7-10 to verify and, if necessary change the

BTS Sync mode.

Table 7-10: Procedure to Verify and Change BTS Sync Mode

Step Action

1If an MMI session was established, proceed to step 7. If no MMI session is running, proceed to

step 2.

2Connect the MMI/LMF.

3Open an MMI Communication session.

4Simulate an LMF connection by issuing the sndtype 0xa178 command.

5Verify that the BTS is in OOS_RAM status by issuing the status command.

6Enter the sndtype 0x4003 command to change the state to OOS_RAM.

7Observe the condition of the External indicator.

8No further action is required if the BTS is in the desired Sync mode. Continue with Step 9 if the

Sync mode needs to be altered.

9Push the Sync button to change the BTS Sync mode.

10 Reset the BTS using the Reset button in the Diagnostic Access Area.

11 If no additional MMI sessions are required at this time, exit the MMI session and HyperTerminal

connection by selecting File>Exit.

configured, and how the paging, sync, traffic, and access channel

elements (and associated gain values) are assigned.

The CDF file also contains a table for the Effective Rated Power (ERP)

for each transmit antenna. 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 BTS TX output.

Test Equipment Calibration

JAN 2002 7-51

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Background

To prevent damage to the test equipment, all Microcell

transmit (TX) tests must be made using the 30 dB

attenuator.

CAUTION

Proper test equipment calibration ensures that the test equipment and

associated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and that

measurements are correct.

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.)

NOTE

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.

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.

CAUTION

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.

IMPORTANT

These procedures access the 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 LMF.

JAN 2002 7-61

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Background

Proper test equipment setup ensures that all measurements are correct,

and that test equipment and associated test cables do not introduce

measurement errors. Motorola recommends repeating cable calibration

prior to testing at each BTS site.

If not already done so, this procedure needs to be performed prior to

beginning the ATP. Verify that all test equipment (including all

associated test cables and adapters actually used to interface all test

equipment and the BTS together) has been calibrated.

In the event that any piece of test equipment, test cable, or

RF adaptor is replaced that makes up the calibrated test

equipment set, re–calibration should be performed. Failure

to do so can introduce measurement errors, resulting in

incorrect measurements or degradation to system

performance.

CAUTION

Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent

test equipment) must be performed at the site before

calibrating the overall test set after it has been allowed to

warm–up and stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.

IMPORTANT

Purpose of Cable Calibration

This procedure accesses the LMF automated calibration routine used to

determine the path losses of the supported communications analyzer,

power meter, associated test cables, and (if used) RF Network making up

the overall calibrated test set. After calibration, the gain/loss offset

values are stored in a test measurement offset file on the LMF.

If you have obtained the test cable insertion loss values previously, you

can manually enter them using the Util>Edit>CableLoss>TX or RX

menu.

Do not use the manual method if you plan to run/have already run the

JAN 2002 7-65

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Objective

Use this procedure to create a CAL file for the Calibration audit. You

must do this procedure before the RF path audit.

Background

The Create CAL File function gets the BLO data from the MAWI and

creates/updates the CAL file for the BTS. If a CAL file does not exist, a

new one is created. If a CAL file already exists, it is updated. The BTS

is calibrated at the factory and normally does not require calibration after

installation, so you must use the Create CAL File function to create a

CAL file since TX calibration is not performed.

The Create CAL File function only applies to selected

(highlighted) MAWIs.

NOTE

The CBSC does not require a calibration file for operation

of an SC300 BTS.

NOTE

The user is not encouraged to edit the CAL file as this

action can cause interface problems between the BTS and

the LMF. To manually edit the CAL file, you must first

logout of the BTS. If you manually edit the CAL file and

then use the Create CAL File function, the edited

information is lost.

NOTE

Prerequisites

The following must be done before you run this test:

SThe MAWI has the correct code load and data load.

SThe MAWI is INS.

SThe LMF is logged on to the BTS.

Acceptance Tests

JAN 2002 7-67

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Overview

This chapter describes the various TX and RX acceptance tests.

TX Test Objective

The following tests will verify the TX antenna path. Output power

control will also be verified. All tests will be performed using the power

meter and communication test set. Measurements will be via the

Antenna B connectors.

You must remove the antenna cables before you perform

the ATP.

NOTE

The BTS is keyed up to generate a CDMA carrier at 31 dBm.

TX Tests

The following TX tests will be performed to verify the CDMA Forward

Link.

Near band & in band spurious emissions and occupied

bandwidth

You will verify that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generated

meets the Spurious Emissions specification (transmit spectral mask and

Occupied Bandwidth as defined in IS95A/B) with respect to either a

pre–determined test pattern or test pattern generated by using assigned

cdf file values.

–+/– 750 kHz from center frequency to +/– 1980 kHz from center

frequency – at least –45 dBc

–+/– 1980 kHz from center frequency and out – at least –60 dBc

–all near band and out of band spurious emissions are verified to be

less than or equal to –60 dBc relative to reference power (measured

previously as total power).

Waveform quality (Rho) and pilot time tolerance (offset)

You will verify that the transmitted Pilot channel waveform quality (rho)

exceeds the minimum specified value in ARIB STD T53. Rho

represents the correlation between actual and perfect CDMA modulation

spectrum. 1.0000 represents 100% (or perfect correlation).

–Waveform quality (Rho) should be > 0.912 (–0.4 dB).

The Pilot Time Tolerance (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,

Walsh code 0).

–Pilot Time Tolerance (Offset) should be < 10 uS. (< 3 uS typical).

Acceptance Tests – continued

7-68

CDMA carrier frequency verification

You will verify the frequency of the transmitted CDMA carrier signal to

be within 0.05 ppm.

Code domain power noise, pilot power, and total power

You will verify that the code domain noise floor of all unused Walsh

codes within the CDMA spectrum measures < –27 dB (with respect to

total power). Pilot power will be verified to measure –7.04 dB +/–0.5

dB (with respect to standard test patterns). Total power will be verified

to measure +2/–4 dB (with respect to CDF specific file parameters).

BTS frequency accuracy

BTS frequency accuracy can be verified manually during normal

operation by monitoring the 19.6608 MHz reference (19 MHz) from the

Diagnostic Access Area. A frequency counter with an accuracy of +/–

0.005 ppm can be used to check the BTS frequency accuracy.

RX Test Objective

The following test will verify the RX antenna path(s).

All tests will be performed using the communication test set.

Measurements will be via the Antenna A and Antenna B connectors.

RX Tests

The following RX test will be performed to verify the CDMA Reverse

Link.

BTS RX sensitivity/frame erasure rate

The default test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all Traffic Channel

elements (fullrate at 1% FER) at an RF input level of –117 dBm on the

RX antenna path.

There are no pass/fail criteria associated with FER readings

taken at level below –117 dBm; other than to verify that

the FER measurement reflects changes in RX input signal

level.

Subscriber Unit (SU) Test and Setup

JAN 2002 7-69

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Objective

The following procedure is to test and verify the operation of the

Subscriber Unit (SU). This procedure also contains instructions to

program the NAM parameters into the SU prior to operation.

Background

The integral Subscriber Unit (SU) provides a controlled method of

terminating calls within the local BTS for diagnostic purposes. The

SU’s RF is connected to the forward port of the antenna directional

couplers via distribution components to provide a hard–wired path. The

SU performs a system–level test call with audio loopback functionality.

Control of the SU is only available remotely via the dial up modem (or

locally via the MMI). The OMCR–based SALT script is not supported.

The Subscriber Unit Distribution (SUD) is the board that provides RF

splitting and attenuation for the subscriber unit RF signal. The SUD is

an internal module.

Procedure to Test and Verify

Follow the instructions in Table 7-41 to test and verify the operation of

the SU.

Table 7-41: Procedure to Test and Verify the Subscriber Unit

Step Action

1Connect the LMF computer to the MMI/LMF connector. Refer to Figure 7-6.

2If you have not already done so, logout of the BTS and exit the LMF. Wait 10 seconds before

proceeding.

3Establish an MMI communications session with the BTS. Refer to NO TAG.

4Enter the sndtype 0xa178 command to simulate an LMF session.

5Make sure the unit has booted into the OOS_RAM state.

Calculating 1900 MHz Center

Frequencies

Table 7-43 shows selected 1900 MHz CDMA candidate operating

channels, listed in both decimal and hexadecimal, and the corresponding

transmit, and receive frequencies. Center frequencies (in MHz) for

channels not shown in the table may be calculated as follows:

STX = 1930 + 0.05 * Channel#

Example: Channel 262

TX = 1930 + 0.05*262 = 1943.10 MHz

SRX = TX – 80

Example: Channel 262

RX = 1943.10 – 80 = 1863.10 MHz

Actual frequencies used depend on customer CDMA system frequency

plan.

Each CDMA channel requires a 1.77 MHz frequency segment. The

actual CDMA carrier is 1.23 MHz wide, with a 0.27 MHz guard band on

both sides of the carrier.

Minimum frequency separation required between any CDMA carrier and

the nearest NAMPS/AMPS carrier is 900 kHz (center-to-center).

reference source. The Ref_select must be FALSE and TRUE for the GPS and HSO,

respectively.

8Enter the dpll_status command to display the current state of the DPLL. Observe the following

typical response.

Current source set to: HSO reference

DPLL control task state: DPLL track

DPLL status (not valid if using even sec src):

c:6CD6 off: –9697314,25154,8669797 TK

Mode cntr: 60

ip: 3, iq: –9

aip1: 9, aiq1: 4

aip2: 6, aiq2: –2

tip: 3, tiq: –9

integrator: –2511864

9Verify that the DPLL is “tracking” the HSO. The Current source set to field should

read HSO reference. The DPLL control task state field should read DPLL

track.

10 Exit the MMI communication session and login to the BTS with the LMF.

11 Select Tests>TX>Pilot Time Offset to verify that the BTS passes using the HSO as the backup

synchronization source.

Shut Down & Restoring BTS Signaling

JAN 2002 8-3

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Objective

The FRU procedures require the shut down of BTS signalling functions.

Accessing the OMCR CLI

window

The commands to manipulate the BTS in the following replacement

procedure must be entered via UNO or OMCR (Operations and

Maintenance Center – Radio).

Should there be any issues which affect CLI operations or

the UNO/OMCR, this replacement procedure cannot be

performed.

IMPORTANT

Accessing the OMCR CLI window

The commands used in the following replacement procedure in Table 8-1

are entered at the OMCR.

Table 8-1: Procedure to Login and Access Alarm Window

Step Action

1Login by entering the user name.

2Enter the password at the system prompt.

3Open an Alarm Manager window and an OMCR CLI window from the pull down menu using the

mouse button.

4Verify that the filter display is set to ALL. This is so that any alarms which may be encountered

while installing the hardware can be observed and rectified.

Shut Down Signaling Functions

Table 8-2 contains steps for shutting down the signaling functions for the

sector/site.

The BTS acts like a single sector and all sector commands

operate on the BTS carrier.

NOTE

DRAFT

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures JAN 2002

8-4

The EDIT SECTOR REDIRECT or REDIRECT2

command does NOT affect calls in progress and will NOT

move these calls to another sector/carrier. The command

only prevents future calls from being originated on the

targeted sector/carrier. If active call processing is still

taking place in the target sector/carrier, it is advisable to

wait for any active calls to terminate prior to disabling the

sector.

IMPORTANT

Table 8-2: Procedure to Shut Down Signaling Functions

Step Action

1Open a CLI window. Refer to Table 8-1.

2* IMPORTANT

Record the values shown in the following system display response. These values will be used to

answer the prompts for the EDIT SECTOR REDIRECT command when restoring signaling

operations at the end of the replacement procedure.

View the status of the sector signaling redirect parameters for all carriers equipped for the sector

by entering the following command at the prompt:

3NOTE

This step edits the redirect parameters so that the Global Service Redirect Message broadcast on

the paging channel redirects all subscribers away from the sector with the failed equipment and

onto a different system.

Enter the following command at the prompt:

omc–000000>edit sector–<bts#>–<sector#> redirect !

The system will prompt you to enter each command parameter value one at a time. Answer the

prompts in the following order:

<accolc0> enter Y, <accolc1> enter Y, ... <accolc15> enter Y

All Access Overload Classes must be set to Y (yes) to ensure that all subscribers are redirected.

<returniffail> , enter N

Must be set to no to ensure that subscribers do not return if redirect is unsuccessful.

<recordtype> , enter 1 or 2

A value of 2 will invoke REDIRECT2 which is used to redirect subscribers to a CDMA channel

at a neighbor site. A value of 1 redirects subscribers to an 800 MHz analog site. This example

uses 2.

expe

tedsid

> , enter 13

Use the Area ID the subscriber units should expect to find on the system they are being redirected

to. This example uses 13.

<ignorecdma> , enter Y

<sysordering> , enter custom

The system acquisition ordering value tells the mobiles the order to use when attempting to obtain

service on the different analog systems. The valid values are: custom – use custom system

selection (default selection); aonly – try the A system only; bonly – use the B system only;

afirst – try the A system first. If unsuccessful, enter bfirst to try the B system first. If

unsuccessful, enter aorb to try the A or B. If unsuccessful, enter custom to try the alternative

system.

<rotatetimer> , enter 4

Call processing continuously rotates, circular right–shifts, the Y/N values of Access Overload

Class Redirect Flags 0 to 9. Values are shifted one flag at the end of the timer period; then timer

re–starts. Valid values are 0–255; 4 is default.

The system will display the command that will be sent. Verify the command syntax.

omc–000000>Accept [yes/no]?

Enter Y to accept the command.

This step edits the REDIRECT2 parameters so that the Global Service Redirect Message

broadcast on the paging channel redirects all subscribers away from the BTS with the failed

equipment and onto a CDMA channel at a neighbor site.

Enter the following command at the prompt:

omc–000000>edit sector–<bts#>redirect2!

The system prompts you to enter each command parameter value one at a time. Answer the

prompts in the following order:

expecting an integer number (from 0 to 65535)

<EXPNID= ?>

Use the Network ID the subscriber units should expect to find on the system they are being

redirected to. This example uses 555.

expecting an integer number (from 0 to 2047)

<CHAN1=?>, <CHAN2=?>...<CHAN15=?>

A list of CDMA channels for neighbor sites that the subscriber units can use for redirection. This

example uses 200, 350, 400, 725, 75, 175, 100, 575, and 950.

expecting an enumerated value:

CDMA1900 CDMA800 CDMA900 JAPANCDMA

<BANDCLASS=?>

Use CDMA1900 for 1.9 GHz systems and CDMA800 for 800 MHz systems. This example uses

CDMA1900.

The system displays the command to be sent. Verify the command syntax.

Outdoor Grounding Guidelines Summary

JAN 2002 A-1

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures

DRAFT

Background

This is a summary of the outdoor grounding guidelines. Outdoor

installations should be based on this summary and site specific

documentation. Motorola publication 68P81150E62 should also be

followed to ground an antenna tower.

This guideline assumes that auxiliary equipment is co–located at the

installation site. All of the equipment referenced may not be present at

every site.

Because outdoor MicroCell installations will involve a variety of

methods, this information is not meant to represent actual physical

layout. It is meant to act as an aid to understanding an effective ground

system.

Chassis Isolation

Regardless of the type of installation (wall, frame, pole), the grounding

plan must have a single point ground to prevent surge/transient currents

from passing through the BTS and auxiliary equipment. The BTS

includes insulation hardware to insure that the chassis will be grounded

by the intended ground path and not through the mounting structure

(frame, pole, or wall).

Master Ground Plate

The Master Ground Plate (MGP) is the key to the outdoor grounding

scheme. The MGP is the single grounding point for all BTS input and

output and provides a uniform ground potential through out the site.

Although the MGP may be implemented differently at each installation,

it must be a plate that is big enough to attach to all the lightning arrestors

and have a ground stud.

The MGP ground stud is the only connection to earth ground for the

BTS hardware.

Main AC Power

The AC power input is single–phase and connects to the BTS by a three

conductor cable. The cable is insulated and connects to the BTS on one

end and the AC source on the other end. The AC power source should

be ground referenced to the MGP at a point closest to the access point.

The line and neutral conductors must be protected by lightning arrestors.

The lightning arrestors connect to the MGP at the same point as the AC

ground reference.

If an external circuit breaker or an uninterruptible power supply are used,

install them between the AC power lightning arrestor and the BTS.

Antenna

Coaxial cables are used to connect to the antenna(s). The ground

conductor (shield) of the coaxial cable must be ground referenced to the

Outdoor Grounding Guidelines Summary – continued

DRAFT

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures JAN 2002

A-2

MGP at the antenna access point. The signal (center) conductor must be

protected by a lightning arrestor. The lightning arrestor connects to the

MGP at the same point as the ground conductor (shield) of the antenna

cable.

Chassis

The ground stud of the BTS chassis connects to the MGP.

T1 Span Lines

The BTS can connect to two T1 span lines. For many applications the

T1 cable is derived from an optical fiber interconnect. For cases where

the optical interconnect is non–metallic, no special grounding is needed.

If the optical fiber is encased in a metallic sheath, the sheath must be

grounded to the MGP. If the span lines are metallic, the conductors must

be protected by lightning arrestors which connect to the MGP at a point

closest to the demarcation point.

Modem

A single tip and ring pair is used for a dial–up modem connection. The

tip and ring pair must be protected by a lightning arrestor which

connects to the MGP at a point closest to the demarcation point.

Customer I/O

The BTS provides eight customer defined inputs. These connections are

internal to the cell site and do not require special grounding unless they

originate from an area not protected by the MGP.

Example: Signal light in tower configuration

LPAC Alarms

3901 LPAC: High Power

Over Limit Alarm –

Unit A

The output detector on the unit monitors the output power. An alarm

generates when the output power surpasses a preset threshold. At this

point, the PA is outputting more power than it can sustain, and damage

will result if the PA continues to operate. A typical scenario that would

cause a high power over limit alarm would be when power into the PA is

more than it can safely sustain. This would cause an input overload,

which is detected by the output detector, and the BTS would

automatically reduce its output power. The BTS will remain in service

after this alarm. Some calls may be dropped.

Alarm

#Alarm DescriptionAlarm Name

3921 LPAC: Very High

Temperature Alarm –

Unit A

This alarm is generated when the temperature on the PA unit exceeds the

threshold value for very high temperatures. This is either an equipment

alarm suggesting a hardware failure, or an alarm indicating environmental

extremes. To avoid equipment damage, the PA will automatically shut

down. This will also cause the BTS to reboot.

3931 LPAC: High

Temperature Alarm –

Unit A

This alarm is generated when the temperature on the PA unit exceeds the

threshold value for very high temperature. This is either an equipment

alarm suggesting a hardware failure, or an alarm indicating environmental

extremes. The BTS will reboot automatically to avoid equipment

damage.

3941 LPAC: VSWR Alarm

– Unit A This alarm indicates a VSWR alarm was detected on the PA unit. This is

an equipment alarm, suggesting a hardware failure of the antenna system,

which is external to the PA.

This alarm is considered capacity–limiting because the BTS will reboot

automatically.

3961 LPAC: IM Loop Not

Converged Alarm –

Unit A

This alarm is generated when the convergence loop on the PA unit is

unable to cancel the distortion components created by the PA such that the

PA meets proper specifications. This alarm is detected by monitoring and

measuring IM products. An alarm will generate if the readings fall below

a preset threshold. The BTS will reboot automatically.

3980 LPAC Combination

Alarm, Complete

Sector Failure

This alarm is generated when the LPAC reports at least one of the

following alarms:

SVery High Temperature Alarm,

SIM Loop Not Converged Alarm,

SVSWR Alarm

A combination alarm indicates a complete BTS reboot. Therefore, the

sector has lost power and is no longer transmitting. Calls will neither

originate to the failed sector, nor will existing calls hand off.

RF Related Alarms

9141 Forward Power Very

High Alarm: Sector 1 This alarm is generated whenever the P out of N forward gain samples

(where N and P may be configured) exceed a configurable forward gain

threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first level) and

a high (second level). The order of alarming by increasing severity is

normal condition, then high (second level), followed by very high (first

level). A forward power very high alarm clear is generated whenever P

out of N forward gain samples fall below the forward threshold minus a

forward gain Delta.

Very High Alarm:

Sector 1

This alarm is generated whenever a reverse noise rise measurement

(rolling average over a configurable number of samples) exceeds a reverse

noise rise threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first

level) and a high (second level). The order of alarming by increasing

severity is normal condition, then high (second level), followed by very

high (first level). A Reverse Noise Rise Very High Alarm clear is

generated whenever the reverse noise rise measurement recedes below the

(where N and P may be configured) exceed a configurable forward gain

threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first level) and

a high (second level). The order of alarms listed by increasing severity is:

normal condition, high (second level), and very high (first level). A

Forward Power High Alarm Clear is generated whenever P out of N

forward gain samples fall below the forward threshold minus a forward

9171 Reverse Noise Rise

High Alarm: Sector 1 This alarm is generated whenever a reverse noise rise measurement

(rolling average over a configurable number of samples) exceeds a reverse

noise rise threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first

level) and a high (second level). The order of alarms listed by increasing

severity are: normal condition, high (second level), and very high (first

level). A Reverse Noise Rise High Alarm Clear is generated whenever

the reverse noise rise measurement recedes below the reverse noise rise

threshold minus a delta.

9210 Forward Power

Limiting Alarm When the Forward Power Limiting alarm is activated, the BTS controller

will instruct the CDMA transceiver to limit the forward power at or below

the current peak power level (or at a fixed power level) or to reduce the

forward gain by a fixed amount. A Forward Power Limiting Alarm is

generated whenever the forward power exceeds the user definable fixed

power threshold (fixed limit mode), or the forward gain measurement

exceeds the forward gain limiting threshold (self–calibrating limit mode).

A Forward Power Limiting Alarm Clear is generated whenever the

forward power falls below the power limit threshold minus a clear event

delta (fixed limit mode) or the forward gain measurement falls below the

forward gain limiting threshold minus a forward gain limiting delta

(self–calibrating limit mode).

9211 Forward Power

Limiting Alarm –

Recovery Attempts

Exceeded

This alarm is generated when the system has tried to recover the LPA

over–driven condition for the user–configurable maximum number of

times and the over–driven condition still exist. This alarm is only

applicable for the self–calibrating limit mode.

Synchronization Alarms

10030 Lost Phase Lock This alarm is generated when the active BTS DPLL loses phase lock and

re–enters acquisition mode. If the BTS does not regain phase lock, or

repeatedly gains and loses phase lock, the problem is most likely a

hardware problem in the unit.

#Alarm DescriptionAlarm Name

10040 GPS Reference Source

Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure (missing clock

pulses or associated device not ready) of its GPS reference source. The

additional alarm data will include information about the reference source

priority. The reference source priority is the priority of the GPS reference

source in relation to the other available reference sources.

This alarm will report when local conditions prevent proper GPS

reception or when the GPS system is taken down for configuration. If the

GPS reference source does not recover or repeatedly fails, a problem may

exist in the GPS receiver hardware. This alarm is only reported after the

GPS is lost for more than 30 seconds. The loss of GPS for shorter periods

of time is not considered unusual, especially if the antenna placement is

less than optimum. Short losses of GPS will have no impact on the

performance of the BTS.

10060 GPS Message Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS receives a message from the GPS

receiver that cannot be processed. The additional info will indicate if the

message problem was due to an unknown type, checksum failure, format

failure, incomplete message (timeout during message reception) or remote

GPS cable delay compensation failure. This alarm is provided to allow

additional status to be tracked.

10091 HSO Reference Source

Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure (missing clock

pulses) of its High Stability Oscillator (HSO) reference source. The

additional alarm data will include information about the reference source

priority. The reference source priority is the priority of the Rubidium

reference source in relation to the other available reference sources.

If the Rubidium reference source does not recover or repeatedly fails, a

problem may exist in the Rubidium Reference Source hardware.

10100 No Reference Source

Available This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure of all of its

available reference sources.

10110 Reference Source

Switch This alarm is generated when the BTS switches to an alternate reference

source. The additional alarm data will identify the alternate reference

source type (GPS, HSO, HSO2 – if sync daisy chain is used or freerun).

A reference source switch occurs when a reference source fails and an

alternate reference source is available. The reference source switch is

seamless and does not cause degradation in system performance

10111 Reference Source

Unreliable This alarm is generated when the reporting device expires a given time

period during which its reference source is known to provide a reliable

clock for the maintenance of CDMA system time. Once the alarm is

generated, it is possible that the reporting device is running with a clock

that has drifted from CDMA system time. If so, the reporting device will

continue to support call originations and maintenance, but cannot

guarantee hand–off capability. The additional data will identify the

reference source the device is currently using as a timing reference.
