1. Figure 1-17 identifies which BBXs are used for Omni and
2-Sector configurations.
2. The fourth PA quadrant (quadrant D) is populated with
CLPAs only when the 4x4 ETM is used.
3. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF FRAMES: The physical
appearance of the frame, especially the location of the
MCM, Power Amplifier cage, and Power
Distribution/Combiner cage, and the particular I/O plate
used, may differ on frames converted from early version
SC4812T BTSs. Functionally however, and for the purpose
of optimization and acceptance testing, those frames are
identical
4. For an SC4812T BTS frame which has been converted to
multicarrier capability, a fourth three–sector carrier, using
BBX–10 through BBX–12, is supported in R16.4 and later
software releases. In a converted multicarrier frame, PA slot
4 in all PA quadrants should never be populated. (see
Figure 1-21).

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.
Cell Site Types
Sites are configured as Omni 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. For more information on the differences in site types, please
refer to the 1X SC 4812T-MC BTS Hardware Installation manual.
CDF or NEC
The Configuration Data File (CDF) (circuit BTS) or Network Element
Configuration (NEC) files (packet BTS) contains site type and equipage
data information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization.
The number of modem frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX boards, MCC
boards (per cage), and power amplifier assignments are some of the
equipage data included in the CDF or NEC files.
CAUTION
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files are used for
the BTS. These should be the CDF or NEC files that are
provided for the BTS by the OMC–R. Failure to use the
correct CDF or NEC files can cause system errors. Failure
to use the correct CDF or NEC files to log into a live
(traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
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
shipping bag.

Follow the procedure in Table 2-1 to verify the 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.
NOTE
The Switch Card has a configuration switch that must match the site configuration (see Figure 2-1).

Pre–Power Up Tests
Objective
This procedure checks for any electrical short circuits and verifies the
operation and tolerances of the cellsite and BTS power supply units prior
to applying power for the first time.
Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required to complete the pre–power–up
tests:
S Digital Multimeter (DMM)
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling the any circuit card/module to prevent
damage by ESD.
Cabling Inspection
Using the site-specific documentation generated by Motorola Systems
Engineering, verify that the following cable systems are properly
connected:
S Receive RF cabling – up to 12 RX cables
S Transmit RF cabling – up to six TX cables
S GPS
DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame)
Before applying any power to the BTS frame, follow the procedure in
Table 2-2 while referring to Figure 2-3 to verify there are no shorts in the
BTS frame DC distribution system.
Table 2-2: DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame)
Step
Action
Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying power to the frame are OFF or disabled.
On each frame:
S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.
S 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.
S Set LPA breakers to the OFF position by pulling out the LPA breakers (8 breakers, labeled 1A–1B
through 4C–4D) located on the power distribution panel.
Continue with Step 3 for –48 V or Step 4 for +27 V.

Pre–Power Up Tests
– continued
Table 2-2: DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame)
Step
Action
For –48 V configurations ONLY:
Verify the resistance on the –48 V bus:
– Remove the Power Supply Modules (PSMs).
– Verify that the resistance from the power (–) feed terminal with respect to the ground terminal on
the top of the frame measures > 500 Ω (see Figure 2-3).
Verify the resistance on the +27 V bus:
– Remove PSM#1 or the filler panel.
! CAUTION
Do not put probes inside Elcon connectors.
– Place the Digital Multimeter probes on the mounting screws on the Elcon connector (bottom two
Elcon connectors).
– 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).
For +27 V configurations ONLY:
Verify that the resistance from the power (+ or –) feed terminals with respect to the ground terminal on
the top of the frame measures > 500 Ω (see Figure 2-3).
– 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 C–CCP breakers to the ON position by pushing them IN one at a time. Repeat Step 3 (for
–48 V) or Step 4 (for +27 V) after turning on each breaker.
NOTE
If the multimeter stays at 0 Ω after inserting any board/module, 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 for the C–CCP shelf and into their associated slots one
at a time. Repeat Step 3 (for –48 V) or Step 4 (for +27 V) after inserting each module.
– A typical response is that the ohmmeter steadily climbs 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:
STPN4009B
PWR C–CCP 4812 +27V
2-2
Insert and lock all remaining circuit boards and modules into their associated slots in the C–CCP shelf.
Repeat Step 3 (for –48 V) or Step 4 (for +27 V) after inserting and locking each board or module.
– A typical response is that the ohmmeter steadily climbs in resistance as capacitors charge,
stopping at approximately 500 Ω..

Power-up Procedures
WARNING
Potentially lethal voltage and current levels are routed to
the BTS equipment. This test must be performed with a
second person present, acting in a safety role. Remove all
rings, jewelry, and wrist watches prior to beginning this
test.
DC Input Power
In the tests to follow, power will first be verified at the input to each
BTS frame. After power is verified, cards and modules within the frame
itself will be powered up and verified one at a time.
Before applying any power, verify the correct power feed and return
cables are connected between the power supply breakers and the power
connectors at the top of each BTS frame. Verify correct cable position
referring to Figure 2-3.
NOTE
For positive power applications (+27 V):
S The positive power cable is red.
S The negative power cable is black.
For negative power applications (–48 V):
S The negative power cable is red or blue.
S The positive power cable (ground) is black.
Motorola recommends that the DC input power cable used to connect the
frame to the main DC power source conforms to the guidelines outlined
in Table 2-3.

Initial Power Up Tests & Procedures
– continued
Common Power Supply
Verification
The procedure in Table 2-4 must be performed on any BTS frame
connected to a common power supply at the site after the common power
supply has been installed and verified per the power supply OEM
suggested procedures.
Perform the following steps to verify the power input is within
specification before powering up the individual cards/modules with the
frames themselves.
CAUTION
While handling any circuit card/module, always wear a
conductive, high impedance wrist strap 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.
Table 2-4: Common Power Supply Verification
Step
Action
Physically verify that all DC power sources supplying the frame are OFF or disabled.
On each frame:
S Unseat all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.
S Set breakers to the OFF position by pulling out C–CCP and LPA breakers (see Figure 2-3 for
breaker panel layout if required).
– C–CCP shelf breakers are labeled CCCP–1, 2, 3.

Introduction to Optimization & Calibration
Overview
This section describes procedures for isolating the BTS from the span
lines, preparing and using the LMF, downloading system operating
software, CSM reference verification/optimization, set up and calibration
of the supported test equipment, transmit/receive path verification, and
verifying the customer defined alarms and relay contacts are functioning
properly.
NOTE
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
Summary
After a BTS is physically installed and the preliminary operations, such
as power up, have been completed, the LMF is used to optimize the
BTS. The basic optimization process consists of the following:
1. Download MGLI–1 with code and data and then enable MGLI–1.
NOTE
GLIs may be GLI2s or GLI3s.
2. Use the status function and verify that all of the installed devices of
the following types respond with status information: CSM, BBX,
GLI, and MCC. 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 or NEC files. The CDF or NEC files must be
corrected before the device can be accessed by the LMF.
3. Download code and data to all devices of the following types:
– CSM
– BBX (multicarrier uses BBX–1X)
– GLI (other than MGLI–1)
– MCC (may be MCC–8E, MCC24, or MCC–1X)
4. Verify the operation of the GPS and HSO signals.
5. Enable the following devices (in the order listed):
– Secondary CSM
– Primary CSM
– All MCCs
6. Connect the required test equipment for a full optimization.
7. Select the test equipment.

Introduction to Optimization & Calibration
– continued
8. Calibrate the TX and RX test cables if they have not previously been
calibrated using the CDMA LMF that will be used for the
optimization/calibration. The cable calibration values can also be
entered manually.
NOTE
All PAs must be INS during any TX testing.
9. If the TX calibration fails, repeat the optimization for any failed
paths.
10. If the TX calibration fails again, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the optimization for the failed path.
11. If the TX calibration and audit portion of the 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.
NOTE
For more information on the differences in site types, refer
to the applicable BTS Hardware Installation manual.
Configuration Files
The Configuration Data File (CDF) and the Network Element
Configuration (NEC) files contain information that defines the BTS and
data used to download files to the devices. The BTS CDF (bts–#.cdf)
and CBSC CDF (cbsc–#.cdf) files are used by circuit BTSs. The NEC
Base (NECB – NECB*bts#.xml) and NEC Journaling (NECJ –
NECJ*bts#.xml) files are used by packet BTSs. CDF or NEC files
must be placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used
to log into that BTS. CDF and NEC files are normally obtained from the
CBSC using a floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be
used if the LMF computer has that capability.
The CDF and NEC files include the following information:
S Download instructions and protocol
S Site specific equipage information
S C–CCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX 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.

S CSM equipage including redundancy
S 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 BBX output
level required to achieve that power level on any channel/sector can
also be determined.
NOTE
Refer to the LMF Help function on–line documentation for
additional information on the layout of the LMF directory
structure (including CDF or NEC 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.
CAUTION
Before using the LMF for optimization/ATP, the correct
bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or NECB*bts#.xml and
NECJ*bts#.xml files for the BTS must be obtained from
the OMC–R and put in a bts–# folder in the LMF. Failure
to use the correct CDF or NEC files can cause improper or
unpredictable BTS operation. Failure to use the correct
CDF or NEC files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site
can shut down the site.
The CDF or NEC files are normally obtained from the OMC–R on a
DOS formatted diskette, or through a file transfer protocol (ftp) if the
LMF computer has ftp capability. Refer to the LMF Help function
on–line documentation for the procedure.
Site Equipage Verification
If it has not already done, use an editor to view the CDF or NEC files,
and review the site documentation. Verify the site engineering equipage
data in the CDF or NEC files matches the actual site hardware using a
CDF or NEC file conversion table.

CAUTION
Use extreme care not to make any changes to the CDF or
NEC file content while viewing the file. Changes to the
CDF or NEC file can cause the site to operate unreliably or
render it incapable of operation.
CAUTION
Always wear an approved anti–static 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 container in which it was shipped.

Preparing the LMF
Overview
Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software
must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting
Motorola–specified requirements (see Recommended Test Equipment
and Software in Chapter 1).
Software and files for installation and updating of the LMF are provided
on CD ROM disks. The following installation items must be available:
S LMF Program on CD ROM (see page NO TAG for current supported
version of LMF)
S CDF or NEC files for each supported BTS (on diskette or available
from the CBSC)
S CBSC CDF file for each supported circuit BTS (on diskette or
available from the CBSC)
The following section provides information and instructions for
installing and updating the LMF software and files.
Overview of Packet BTS files
R16.0 and earlier software releases used the CDF configuration file for
each BTS and CBSC supported by the LMF. In a packet BTS operating
with Software Release 16.1 or later, the CDF is replaced by the NEC
files. There are two NEC files. These are:
S NEC Base (NECB) file
S NEC Journal (NECJ) file
The NECB contains the baseline configuration information and is
analogous to the CDF, while the NECJ contains all the changes made to
the configuration since the last time the NECB was re–generated. Once
the NECJ reaches 80% of its maximum size, the NECB is re–generated
by the OMC–R, and all updates from the NECJ file are rolled into it.
The NEC files play much more extensive role than the previously–used
CDF files.
Additional important, LMF–related facts about the the NEC files are:
S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in eXtensible Markup Language
(XML) format.
S NECB contains all the up-to-date static configuration information and
NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) which are
not updated in the NECB.
S Both files can be viewed in any XML viewer (most easily available is
Internet Explorer V5.0 and higher). They can be also viewed by any
other word or text processor, but the XML tags will also be seen when
using these types of applications.
S These files will be created by OMC–R from MIB and reflect the BTS
provisioning.
S These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on
the system for each BTS.
5/21/04
1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP
DRAFT
3-5
Preparing the LMF
– continued
S Unlike the CDF file, the NEC files will reside on both OMC–R and
GLI3s operating in packet mode. The NEC files will be synchronized
periodically between the OMC–R and GLI3s in each BTS.
S Both the NECB and NECJ files contain a “SoftwareVersion” field in
their header section indicating the system release version of these
files.
S Instead of the bts–#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files, which are copies of the
NEC files.
S A GLI3 operating in packet mode will need the NECB and NECJ files
for site initialization.
S The scope of the NEC files has grown much broader than that of the
CDF and has much more BTS–centric information. This is principally
because the role of the GLI card has expanded significantly with the
introduction of the GLI3 card and packet backhaul.
CAUTION
Never use a generic NEC file. The specific, site–unique
information for the BTS must be included in the NEC file for the
site to operate properly.
LMF File Structure Overview
The LMF uses a :\lmf home directory> folder that contains all of the
essential data for installing and maintaining the BTS. The following list
outlines the folder structure for LMF. Except for the bts–# folders, these
folders are created as part of the the LMF installation. Refer to the
CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide for a complete description of the folder
structure.

bts–# folders (A separate folder is required
for each BTS where bts–# is the unique BTS
number; for example, bts–163.)

Preparing the LMF
– continued
NOTE
The “loads” folder and all the folders below it are not
available from the LMF for Software Release R2.16.4.1.
These folders may be present as as a legacy from previous
software versions or downloaded from the CBSC/OMC–R.
Any existing code in the directory is not affected by an SR
16.1 installation.
The user will need to manually add the directories to a
newly installed LMF when they add the code loads to be
downloaded.
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.
Filename Conventions and
Directory Location
NEC Files
The naming conventions for the NECB and NECJ files are:
NECB*bts#.xml
NECJ*bts#.xmlNECJ*bts#.xml
Where:
* = any characters can be substituted
# = the actual integer BTS number; for example,
NECB–2.16.4.1.40–bts480.xml
The NECB and its corresponding NECJ must have the exact same name,
except for the “B” and “J” after the initial NEC characters.
The NECB and the NECJ must reside in the
\cdma\bts–# directory for the BTS to which they apply.
Load Information File (LIF)
The LIF contains all the devices binaries available for the specified
System Software Release. It is the functional equivalent of the Object
List File (OLF) file that was used pre–Packet.
5/21/04
1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP
DRAFT
3-7
Preparing the LMF
– continued
The naming convention for the LIF is:
NE_LIF.xml
The LIF must reside in the \cdma\loads\ directory, where  = the home
directory in which the LMF is installed, usually C:\wlmf  = the System Software Release Number (e.g.
2.16.1.0.10).
Cal File
The Cal File still resides in the \cdma\bts–# directory
and is named bts–#.cal, where # is the actual integer number of the
BTS.
LMF Operating System
Installation
This section provides information and instructions for installing and
updating the LMF software and files.
NOTE
First Time Installation Sequence:
1. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
2. Install U/WIN K–shell emulator
3. Install LMF application programs
4. Install/create BTS folders
NOTE
Any time U/WIN is installed, the LMF application software
must also be installed. This is because the LMF application
installation modifies some of the files that are installed during
the U/Win installation. These modifications are necessary for
proper LMF operation. Installing U/Win over–writes these
modifications.
There are multiple binary image packages for installation on the
CD–ROM. When prompted, choose the load that corresponds to
the software release currently installed in the network. Perform
the Device Images installation after the LMF installation.
If applicable, a separate CD ROM of BTS Binaries may be
available for binary updates.
Follow the procedure in Table 3-1 to install the LMF application
program using the LMF CD ROM.

NOTE
If applicable, replace the letter d with the correct
CD ROM drive letter.
Copy BTS and CBSC CDF or
NEC Files to the LMF Computer
Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF computer to execute
optimization/ATP procedures, the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf
or NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml 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 or NEC files on the
LMF computer.
NOTE
– If the LMF has ftp capability, the ftp method can be used to
copy the CDF files from the CBSC.
– On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can be
used in place of the cp command (for example,
unix2dos bts–248.cdf bts–248.cdf). This should be done
using a copy of the CBSC CDF file so the original CBSC
CDF file is not changed to DOS format.
NOTE
When copying CDF or NEC files, comply with the following to
prevent BTS login problems with the LMF:
– The numbers used in the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml 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
works with locally numbered circuit BTS CDF files. Using
this file will not provide a valid optimization unless the
generic file is edited to replace default parameters (for
example, channel numbers and corresponding set power
out) with the operational parameters used locally.
The procedure in Table 3-2 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF or
NEC files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For further
information, refer to the LMF Help function on line documentation.

Table 3-2: Copying CBSC CDF or NEC Files to the LMF
n Step
Action
AT THE CBSC:
Login to the CBSC workstation.
Insert a DOS formatted diskette in the workstation drive.
Type eject –q and press the  key.
Type mount and press the  key.
NOTE
S Look for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
S 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 containing the file by typing cd  (ex. cd
bts–248) and pressing .
Type ls  to display the list of files in the directory.
With Solaris versions of Unix, create DOS–formatted versions of the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files on the diskette by entering the following command:
unix2dos  /floppy/no_name/
For example, unix2dos bts–248.cdf or NECB–2.16.4.41–bts248.xml /floppy/
no_name/bts–248.cdf .
NOTE
S 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
or NEC files on the LMF computer is, therefore, not recommended.
S 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 (for example,
cp bts–248.cdf cbsc–6.cdf /floppy/no_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 the  key.
10
Remove the diskette from the CBSC.
AT THE LMF:

14
Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent program) to transfer the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files from the diskette to the corresponding
\cdma\bts–# folders created in step 13.
Creating a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Sessions
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (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 procedure in Table 3-3 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a WIndows desktop shortcut for it.
Table 3-3: Creating a Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Sessions

Span Lines – Interface & Isolation
T1/E1 Span Interface
NOTE
At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the BTS and
place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT remove the 50–pin
TELCO cable connected to the BTS frame site I/O board
J1 connector until the OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS!
Each frame is equipped with one Site I/O and two Span I/O boards. The
Span I/O J1 connector provides connection for 25 wire pairs. A GLI card
can support up to six spans. In SC4812T BTS frames, spans A, C, and E
terminate on the Span “A” I/O; and spans B, D, and F terminate on the
Span “B” I/O.
NOTE
Span Lines will interface to the BTS through the Span I/O
cards only in circuit mode with either circuit or split
backhaul.
Before connecting the LMF to the frame LAN, the OMC–R must disable
the BTS and place it OOS to allow the LMF to control the CDMA BTS.
This prevents the OMC–R from inadvertently sending control
information to the BTS during LMF–controlled tests. Refer toFigure 3-2
and Figure 3-3 as required.

Using the LMF
Basic LMF Operation
LMF Coverage in This Publication – There are LMF application
programs to support maintenance of both CDMA and SAS BTSs. All
references to the LMF in this publication are for the CDMA application
program.
Operating Environments – The LMF application program allows the
user to work in the two following operating environments which are
accessed using the specified desktop icons:
S Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
S 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 – Basic operation of the LMF in either environment
includes performing the following:
Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
Enabling devices
Disabling devices
Resetting devices
Obtaining device status
The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:
S Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF On-Line Help, Software Release 2.16.4.x .
NOTE
Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual
are performed using the GUI environment.
Online Help – Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by
clicking on Help from the menu bar.
The LMF Display and the BTS
BTS Display – When the LMF is logged into a BTS, a frame tab is
displayed for each BTS frames. The frame tab will be labeled with
“CDMA” and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame number (for
example, BTS–812–1 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If there is only one frame
for the BTS, there will only be one tab.

CDF or NEC file Requirements – For the LMF to recognize the
devices installed in the BTS, a BTS CDF or NEC files which include
equipage information for all the devices in the BTS must be located in
the applicable :\\cdma\bts–# folder. To
provide the necessary channel assignment data for circuit BTS operation,
a CBSC CDF file which includes channel data for all BTS RFMFs is
also required in the folder.
RFDS Display – If an RFDS is included in the CDF or NEC files, an
RFDS tab labeled with “RFDS,” a dash and the BTS number–frame
number combination (for example, RFDS–812–1) will be displayed.
Graphical User Interface
Overview
The LMF uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which supports the
following functions:
S Selecting a device or devices.
S Selecting an action to apply to selected device(s).
S Status report window displaying progress of actions taking place and
related information.
S Notification when an action is complete and related information such
as indication of success or failure
S An OK button to close the status report window.
Understanding GUI Operation
The following screen captures are provided to help understand how the
GUI operates:
– Figure 3-4 shows the differences between packet and circuit BTS
representations on the LMF login screen. If there is a packet
configuration file (NEC) for the BTS, the “(P)” is added as a suffix
to the BTS number.
– Figure 3-5 shows the Self-Managed Network Elements (NE) state
of a packet–mode BTS (SC4812T shown). An “X” is displayed on
the front of each card that is under Self–Managed NE control by the
GLI3 card.
– Figure 3-6 shows three of the available packet mode commands.
Normally the GLI3 has Self-Managed NE control of all cards as
shown inFigure 3-6 identified with an “X”. In that state, the LMF
may only status a card. In order to download code or test a card, the
LMF must request Self-Managed NE control of the card by using
the dropdown menu shown. The LMF also uses this menu to release
control of the card back to the GLI3. The GLI3 will also assume
control of the cards after the LMF logs out of the BTS. The packet
mode GLI3 normally is loaded with a tape release and NECB and
NECJ files which point to a tape release stored on the GLI3. When
the GLI3 has control of a card it will maintain that card with the
code on that tape release.

Command Line Interface
Overview
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.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only one
handler can be running at one time. Due to architectural limitations, the
GUI must be started before the CLI if it is desired that 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.

Download the BTS
Overview
Before a BTS can operate, each equipped device must contain device
initialization (ROM) code. ROM code is loaded in all devices during
manufacture or factory repair. Device application (RAM) code and data
must be downloaded to each equipped device by the user before the BTS
can be made fully functional for the site where it is installed.
ROM Code
Downloading ROM code to BTS devices from the LMF is NOT routine
maintenance nor a normal part of the optimization process. It is only
done in unusual situations where the resident ROM code in the device
does not match the release level of the site operating software AND the
CBSC cannot communicate with the BTS to perform the download. If
ROM code must be downloaded, refer to Appendix H.
Before ROM code can be downloaded from the LMF, the correct ROM
code file for each device to be loaded must exist on the LMF computer.
ROM code must be manually selected for download.
NOTE
The ROM code file is not available for GLI3s. GLI3s are
ROM code loaded at the factory.
RAM Code
Before RAM code can be downloaded from the CDMA LMF, the correct
RAM code file for each device must exist on the LMF computer. RAM
code can be automatically or manually selected depending on the Device

the event it becomes necessary to code load CSMs with
updated software versions. Use the status function to
determine the current code load versions.
The CSM(s) to be enabled must have been downloaded
with code (Yellow, OOS–RAM) and data.
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 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 remote GPS, LORAN–C, HSO 10
MHz Rubidium source, or HSOX for expansion frames, 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.
Follow the procedure in Table 3-16 to enable the CSMs.

CSM–1 houses the GPS receiver. The enable sequence can take up to one hour to complete.
– 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 an installed GPS receiver has not been updated for a number of weeks, it may take up to
one 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.)
– If equipped with two CSMs, the LMF should display CSM-1 as bright GREEN (INS–ACT)
and CSM–2 as dark green (INS–STB). After the CSMs have been successfully enabled, the
PWR/ALM LEDs are steady green (alternating green/red indicates the card is in an alarm

CSM System Time/GPS and HSO Verification
CSM & HSO Background
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.
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. DPLL
circuits employed by the CSM provide switching between the primary
and redundant unit upon request. Synchronization between the primary
and redundant CSM cards, as well as the HSO back–up source, provides
excellent reliability and performance.
Each CSM board features an ovenized, crystal oscillator that provides
19.6608 MHz clock, even second tick reference, and 3 MHz sinewave
reference, referenced to the selected synchronization source (GPS,
Receiver, or High Stability Oscillator (HSO), T1 Span, or external
reference oscillator sources). The 3 MHz signals are also routed to the
RDM EXP 1A & 1B connectors on the top interconnect panel for
distribution to co–located frames at the site.
Fault management has the capability of switching between the GPS
synchronization source and the 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 3-20). The source
selection can also be overridden via the LMF or by the system software.
All boards are mounted in the C–CCP shelf at the top of the BTS frame.
Figure 1-14 illustrates the location of the boards in the BTS frame.
Front Panel LEDs
The status of the LEDs on the CSM boards are as follows:
S Steady Green – Master CSM locked to GPS (INS).
S Rapidly Flashing Green – Standby CSM locked to GPS (STBY).
S Flashing Green/Rapidly Flashing Red – CSM OOS_RAM attempting
to lock on GPS signal.
S Rapidly Flashing Green and Red – Alarm condition exists. Trouble
Notifications (TNs) are currently being reported to the GLI.

CSM System Time/GPS and HSO Verification
– continued
High Stability Oscillator
CSM and HSO – The CSM handles the overall configuration and status
monitoring functions of the HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the HSO
is capable of maintaining synchronization initially established by the
GPS reference signal.
HSO – 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: HSO2/HSOX
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). The HSOX accepts input
from the starter frame and interfaces with the CSM cards in the
expansion frame. 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.
CSM Frequency Verification
The objective of this procedure is the initial verification of the CSM
boards before performing the RF path verification tests. Parts of this
procedure will be repeated for final verification after the overall
optimization has been completed.
Null Modem Cable
A null modem cable is required. It is connected between the LMF
COM1 port and the RS232–GPIB Interface box. Figure 3-11 shows the

Record the current position base site latitude, longitude, height and height reference (height reference
to Mean Sea Level (MSL) or GPS height (GPS). (GPS = 0 MSL = 1).
If steps 1 through 7 pass, the GPS is good.
NOTE
If any of the above mentioned areas fail, verify that:
– If Initial position accuracy is “estimated” (typical), at least 4 satellites must be tracked and
visible (1 satellite must be tracked and visible if actual lat, log, and height data for this site has
been entered into CDF or NEC files).
– If Initial position accuracy is “surveyed”, position data currently in the CDF or NEC files is
assumed to be accurate. GPS will not automatically survey and update its position.
– The GPS antenna is not obstructed or misaligned.
– GPS antenna connector center conductor measures approximately +5 Vdc with respect to the
shield.
– There is no more than 4.5 dB of loss between the GPS antenna OSX connector and the BTS frame
GPS input.
– Any lightning protection installed between GPS antenna and BTS frame is installed correctly.
Enter the following commands at the CSM> prompt to verify that the CSM is warmed up and that GPS
acquisition has taken place.

Observe the following typical response if the CSM is not warmed up (15 minutes from application of
power) (If warmed–up proceed to step 10)

HSO Initialization/Verification
The HSO module is a full–size card that resides in the C–CCP Shelf.
This completely self contained high stability 10 MHz oscillator
interfaces with the CSM via a serial communications link. The CSM
handles the overall configuration and status monitoring functions of the
HSO. In the event of GPS failure, the HSO is capable of maintaining
synchronization initially established by the GPS reference signal for a
limited time.
The HSO is typically installed in those geographical areas not covered
by the LORAN–C system and provides the following major functions:
S Reference oscillator temperature and phase lock monitor circuitry
S Generates a highly stable 10 MHz sine wave.
S Reference divider circuitry converts 10 MHz sine wave to 10 MHz
TTL signal, which is divided to provide a 1 PPS strobe to the CSM.
Prerequisites
S The LMF is not logged into the BTS.
S The COM1 port is connected to the MMI port of the primary CSM via
a null modem board.
S The primary CSM and the HSO (if equipped) have warmed up for 15
minutes.
If the BTS is equipped with an HSO, follow the procedure in Table 3-21
to configure the HSO.

Equipment Warm-up
NOTE
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 PA under test
OOS. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury
and/or equipment damage.

Test Set Calibration
Test Set Calibration
Background
Proper test equipment calibration 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.
NOTE
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.
Calibration Procedures
Included
Automatic
Procedures included in this section use the LMF automated calibration
routine to determine path losses of the supported communications
analyzer, power meter, associated test cables, adapters, and (if used)
antenna switch that make up the overall calibrated test equipment set.
After calibration, the gain/loss offset values are stored in a test
measurement offset file on the LMF computer.

Manual
Agilent E4406A Transmitter Tester – The E4406A does not support
the power level zeroing calibration performed by the LMF. If this
instrument is to be used for Bay Level Offset calibration and calibration
is attempted with the LMF Calibrate Test Equipment function, the
LMF will return a status window failure message stating that zeroing
power is not supported by the E4406A. Refer to the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F for instructions on using the
instrument’s self–alignment (calibration) function prior to performing
Bay Level Offset calibration.
Power Meters – Manual power meter calibration procedures to be
performed prior to automated calibration are included in the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F.
Cable Calibration – Manual cable calibration procedures using the HP
8921A and Advantest R3465 communications system analyzers are
provided in the Manual Cable Calibration section of Appendix F, if
needed.
GPIB Addresses
GPIB addresses can range from 1 through 30. The LMF will accept any
address in that range, but the numbers entered in the LMF Options
window GPIB address box must match the addresses of the test
equipment. Motorola recommends using 1 for a CDMA signal generator,
13 for a power meter, and 18 for a communications system analyzer. To
verify and, if necessary, change the GPIB addresses of the test
equipment, refer to the Setting GPIB Addresses section of Appendix F.
IP Addresses
The E7495A communications test set uses IP over Ethernet connections
for communication rather than the GPIB. For the Agilent E7495A, set
the IP address and complete initial setup as described in Appendix F,
Table F-1.
Selecting Test Equipment
Other Than Agilent E7495A
Open the LMF Options window from the Tools > Options menu list to
select test equipment automatically (using the autodetect feature) or
manually.
Serial Connection and Network Connection tabs are provided in the
LMF Options window to specify the test equipment connection method.
The Serial Connection tab is used when the test equipment items are
connected directly to the LMF computer through a GPIB box (normal
setup). The Network Connection tab is used when the test equipment is
to be connected remotely through a network connection.

Detecting Test Equipment
When Using Agilent E7495A
Be sure that no other equipment is connected to the LMF. The Agilent
E7495A must be connected to the LAN to detect it. Then perform the
procedures described in Appendix F, Table F-1, Table F-2, and
Table F-3.
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.
NOTE
The Agilent E4406A transmitter tester does not support
power measurement level zeroing. Refer to the Equipment
Calibration section of Appendix F for E4406A calibration.
Prerequisites
S LMF computer serial port and test equipment are connected to the
GPIB box.

measure the loss of each cable configuration (TX cable configuration and
RX cable configuration). The cable calibration consists of the following:
S Measuring the loss of a short cable – This is required to compensate
for any measurement error of the analyzer. The short cable (used only
for the calibration process) is used in series with both the TX and RX
cable configuration when measuring. 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. The result is then adjusted out of both the TX and RX
measurements to compensate for the measured loss.
S Measuring the short cable plus the RX cable configuration loss –
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 of the test equipment.
S Measuring the short cable plus the TX cable configuration loss –
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 specified BTS). The total loss of the path
loss of the TX cable configuration must be as required for the BTS
(normally 30 or 50 dB).

Bay Level Offset Calibration
Introduction
Bay Level Offset (BLO) calibration is the central activity of the
optimization process. BLO calibration compensates for normal
equipment variations within the BTS RF paths and assures the correct
transmit power is available at the BTS antenna connectors to meet site
performance requirements.
RF Path Bay Level Offset
Calibration
Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBX
slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database calibration
table in the LMF. The BLOs are subsequently downloaded to each BBX.
For starter frames, each receive path starts at a BTS RX antenna port and
terminates at a backplane BBX slot. Each transmit path starts at a BBX
backplane slot, travels through the Power Amplifier (PA), and terminates
at a BTS TX antenna port.
For expansion frames each receive path starts at the BTS RX port of the
cell site starter frame, travels through the frame-to-frame expansion
cable, and terminates at a backplane BBX slot of the expansion frame.
The transmit path starts at a BBX backplane slot of the expansion frame,
travels though the PA, and terminates at a BTS TX antenna port of the
same expansion frame.
Calibration identifies the accumulated gain in every transmit path (BBX
slot) at the BTS site and stores that value in a BLO database. Each
transmit path starts at a C–CCP shelf backplane BBX slot, travels
through the PA, and ends at a BTS TX antenna port. When the TX path
calibration is performed, the RX path BLO is automatically set to the
default value.
At omni sites, BBX slots 1 and 13 (redundant) are tested. At sector sites,
BBX slots 1 through 12, and 13 (redundant) are tested. Only those slots
(sectors) actually equipped in the current CDF or NEC file are tested,
regardless of physical BBX board installation in the slot.
When to Calibrate BLOs
Calibration of BLOs is required:
S After initial BTS installation
S Once each year
S After replacing any of the following components or associated
interconnecting RF cabling:
– BBX board
– C–CCP shelf
– MCIO card
– MCIO to Power Amplifier backplane RF cable
– Parallel Linear Amplifier Combiner

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 PA under test OOS. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.
CAUTION
Always wear an approved anti–static 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.
NOTE
At new site installations, to facilitate the complete test of
each CCP shelf (if the shelf is not already fully populated
with BBX boards), move BBX boards from shelves
currently not under test and install them into the empty
BBX slots of the shelf currently being tested to insure that
all BBX 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
BBX slots are equipped. Edit the file as required to include
BBX slots not currently equipped (per Systems
Engineering documentation).

BLO Calibration Data File
During the calibration process, the LMF creates a bts–#.cal
calibration (BLO) offset data file (CAL file) in the bts–# folder. After
calibration has been completed, this offset data must be downloaded to
the BBXs using the LMF Download BLO function. An explanation of
the file is shown below.
NOTE
Due to the size of the file, Motorola recommends printing a
hard copy of a 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 BBX slots. Slot 20
contains the calibration data for the redundant BBX. Each BBX slot
header block contains:
S A creation Date and Time – broken down into separate parameters of
createMonth, createDay, createYear, createHour, and createMin.
S 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.
S The calibration data for a BBX is organized as a large flat array. The
array is organized by branch, sector, 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:

S Ten calibration points per sector are supported for each branch. Two
entries are required for each calibration point:
1. The first value (all odd entries) identifies the CDMA channel
(frequency) where the BLO is measured.
2. The second value (all even entries) is the power set level
(PwrLvlAdj). The valid range for PwrLvlAdj is from 2500 to
27500 (2500 corresponds to –125 dBm and 27500 corresponds
to +125 dBm).
S The 20 calibration entries for each sector/branch combination must be
stored in order of increasing frequency. If less than 10 points
(frequencies) are calibrated, data for the highest frequency calibrated
is repeated to fill out the remainder of 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 frequencies were calibrated, data for
this one, the highest, is repeated for the last eight
calibration points of the sector/branch)
S When the BBX is loaded with data, the CAL file data for the BBX is
downloaded to the device in the order it is stored in the CAL file.
TxCal data is sent first, C[1] – C[240]. Sector 1’s ten calibration

n Step
Action
Verify the GPIB controller is properly connected and turned on (does not apply to
the Agilent E7495A).
! CAUTION
To prevent damage to the test equipment, all transmit (TX) test connections must
be via the 30 dB directional coupler.
If it has not already been done, connect the LMF computer to the BTS LAN A
connector on the BTS. Refer to the procedure in Table 3–2.
S If required, calibrate the test equipment using the procedure in Table 3-26.
S Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 3-15 throug Figure 3-17.
Transmit (TX) Path Calibration
Description
The assigned channel frequency and power level (as measured at the top
of the frame) for transmit calibration are derived from the site CDF files.
For each BBX, the channel frequency is specified in the [CdmaChans]
in the cbsc–#.cdf file and the power is specified in the SIFPilotPwr
CDF file parameter for the sector associated with the BBX (located
under the ParentSECTOR field of the ParentCARRIER CDF file
parameter).
NOTE
If both the bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf or
NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files are current,
all information will be correct on the LMF. If not, the
carrier and channel will have to be set for each test.
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
the value set in the “TX Nominal offset” tolerance.

TX Calibration and the LMF
The LMF Tests > TX > TX Calibration... and Tests > All Cal/Audit...
selections perform TX BLO calibration testing for installed BBX(s). The
All Cal/Audit... selection initiates a series of actions to perform TX
calibration, and, if calibration is successful, download BLO and perform
TX audit. The TX Calibration... selection performs only TX
calibration. When TX Calibration... is used, BLO download and TX
audit must be performed as separate activities. The CDMA Test
Parameters window which opens when TX Calibration... or All
Cal/Audit... is selected contains several user–selectable features which
are described in the following subsections.
Rate Set Drop–down Pick List
The Rate Set drop–down box is enabled if at least one MCC card is
selected for the test. The available options for TX tests are 1 = 9600, and
3 = 9600 1X. Option 3 is only available if 1X cards are selected for the
test. The available transfer rate options for RX tests are 1 = 9600 and
2 = 14400. Option 2 is only available if no 1X cards are selected.
Verify BLO
In both the TX Calibration and All Cal/Audit dialog boxes, a Verify
BLO checkbox is provided and checked by default. After the actual TX
calibration is completed during either the TX Calibration or All
Cal/Audit process, the BLO derived from the calibration is compared to
a standard, acceptable BLO tolerance for the BTS. In some installations,
additional items may be installed in the transmit path. The additional
change in gain from these items could cause BLO verification failure
and, therefore, failure of the entire calibration. In these cases, either the
Verify BLO checkbox should be unchecked or the additional path losses
should be added into each applicable sector using the
Util > Edit > TX Coupler Loss... function.

Single–sided BLO Checkbox
Another option that appears in the pull–down menu is Single–sided
BLO. Normally valid BLO values are some value plus–or–minus some
offset. The ranges currently used for calibration are wider than necessary
to accommodate the redundant BBX. The lower half of the allowable
range is where non–redundant BBXs should function. Single–sided BLO
spec is >35dB. Double–sided BLO spec is 40+5dB. To get the more
stringent conditions, the operator checks Single–sided BLO when
calibrating non-redundant transceivers. Single–sided BLO carries the
likelihood of more failures. This option should only be used by
experienced CFEs.
The Tests > TX > TX Calibration... menu window has a Test Pattern
pull–down menu. This menu has the following choices:
S Pilot (default) – performs tests using a pilot signal only. This pattern
should be used when running in–service tests. It only requires a BBX
to do the test.
S Standard – performs the tests using pilot, synch, paging and six
traffic channels. This pattern should be used on all non–in–service
tests. Standard requires a BBX and an MCC. Standard uses gain
values specified by the IS97 standard.
S CDFPilot –performs the tests using the pilot signal, however, the gain
is specified in the CDF file. Advanced users may use CDFPilot to
generate a Pilot pattern using the value specified by the PilotGain
parameter in the CDF file instead of a pre–determined value.
S CDF – performs the tests using pilot, synch, paging and six traffic
channels, however, the gain for the channel elements is specified in
the CDF file. Advanced users may use CDF to generate a standard
pattern. Instead of using the values specified by IS97, the settings for
the following CDF parameters are used:
– PilotGain
– PchGain
– SchGain
– NomGain1Way

TX BLO Calibration for MC
Overview
LMF software release described on page NO TAG may be used to
calibrate the Multicarrier trunked BTS running Software Release
R2.16.4.1 circuit or packet software. These unique procedures are
necessary due to the fact that the SC4812T–MC requires all equipped
PAs to be enabled during TX testing.
TX BLO is obtained with BBXs-under-test having pilot gain set at 262
LSB, while BBXs-not-under–test are keyed at low transmit power
(recommended pilot gain of 127 LSB and XCVR Power Gain set of –25
dBm).
The following procedure assumes that the SC4812T–MC frame is
equipped with 4 carriers and all modules have appropriate software
downloaded. The tasks required are:

TX Calibration Audit
Introduction
NOTE
RF path verification, BLO calibration, and BLO data
download to BBXs must have been successfully completed
prior to performing the calibration audit.
The BLO calibration audit procedure confirms the successful generation
and storage of the BLO calibration offsets. The calibration audit
procedure measures the path gain or loss of every BBX transmit path at
the site. In this test, actual system tolerances are used to determine the
success or failure of a test. The same external test equipment set up is
used.
WARNING
Before installing any test equipment directly to any TX
OUT connector, first verify there are no CDMA BBX
channels keyed. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
The Tests menu item, TX Audit, performs the TX BLO Audit test for a
BBX(s). All measurements are made through the appropriate TX output
connector using the calibrated TX cable setup.
Prerequisites
Before running this test, ensure that the following have been done:
NOTE
All PAs must be INS during any TX testing.
CSM–1, GLIs, and BBXs have correct code load and data load.
Primary CSM and MGLI are INS.
All BBXs are OOS_RAM.
Test equipment and test cables are calibrated and connected for TX
BLO calibration.
S LMF is logged into the BTS.
Test Procedure
Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 3-15 or Figure 3-16.
Follow the procedure in Table 3-37 using the If performing TX Audit
alternate Step 1 to perform the BTS TX Path Audit test.

Download BLO Procedure
After a successful TX path calibration, download the BLO calibration
file data to the BBXs. BLO data is extracted from the CAL file for the
BTS and downloaded to the selected BBX devices.
NOTE
If a successful All Cal/Audit was completed, this
procedure does not need to be performed, as BLO is
downloaded as part of the All Cal/Audit.
Prerequisites
Ensure the following prerequisites have been met before proceeding:
S BBXs being downloaded are OOS–RAM (yellow).
S TX calibration is successfully completed.
Test Procedure
Follow the procedure in Table 3-38 to download the BLO data to the
BBXs.

downloaded.
Click on OK to close the status report window.
Create CAL File
After downloading BLO data to the BBXs, the BLO data must also be
saved to a CAL file in the BTS folder on the LMF computer platform.
The CAL file must be created or updated so it can be transferred to the
OMC–R. If no CAL file is stored in the BTS folder (such as after the
first–time calibration of a new BTS), the Create Cal File function gets
the BLO data from the BBXs, creates the CAL file, and stores the BLO
data in it. If the CAL file already exists in the BTS folder, this function
will update it with the new BLO data. Note the following:
S Create Cal File function only applies to selected (highlighted) BBXs.

BTS Redundancy/Alarm Testing
Objective
This section tests the redundancy options that could be included in the
cell site. These tests verify, under a fault condition, that all modules
equipped with redundancy switch operations to their redundant partner
and resume operation. An example would be to pull the currently active
CSM and verify the standby CSM takes over distribution of the CDMA
reference signal.
Redundancy covers many BTS modules. Confirm the redundant options
included in the BTS, and proceed as required. If the BTS has only basic
power supply redundancy, the tests and procedures detailed in the
following tables should be bypassed.
S Table 3-42. Miscellaneous Alarm Tests (BTS Frame)
S Table 3-43. BBX Redundancy Tests (BTS Frame)
S Table 3-44. CSM, GPS, and HSO Redundancy Alarm Tests
S Table 3-45. MGLI/GLI Redundancy Test
During redundancy verification of the test, alarms reported by the master
GLI (displayed via the alarm monitor) will also be verified/noted.
Test Equipment
The following pieces of test equipment are required to perform this test:
S LMF
S Communications Test Set
Redundancy/Alarm Test
Perform each of the following tests to verify BTS redundancy and to
confirm all alarms are received and reported by the BTS equipment. The
procedures should be performed on the following modules/boards:
S Power supply/converter modules in all frames
S Distribution shelf modules in the BTS frame
S C–CCP shelf modules in the BTS frame (except MCCs)
S PA modules in the BTS frame
S AMR Customer defined input/output tests

Alarms Testing
Alarm Verification
ALARM connectors provide Customer Defined Alarm Inputs and
Outputs. The customer can connect BTS site alarm input sensors and
output devices to the BTS, thus providing alarm reporting of active
sensors as well controlling output devices.
The SC 4812T is capable of concurrently monitoring 35 input signals.
These inputs are divided between 2 Alarm connectors marked ‘ALARM
A’ and ‘ALARM B’ located at the top of the frame (see Figure 3-28).
The ALARM A connector is always functional; ALARM B is
functional when an AMR module is equipped in the AMR 2 slot in the
distribution shelf. ALARM A port monitors input numbers 1 through
18, while ALARM B port monitors input numbers 19, 20, and 22
through 36 (see Figure 3-29). Alarm 21 is reserved for system use. State
transitions on these input lines are reported to the LMF and OMCR as
MGLI Input Relay alarms.
ALARM A and ALARM B connectors each provide 18 inputs and 8
outputs. If both A and B are functional, 36 inputs and 16 outputs are
available. They may be configured as redundant. The configuration is set
by the CBSC.
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.
The following buttons are included:
S The Options button allows for a severity level (Warning, Minor, and
Major) selection. The default is all levels. To change the level of
alarms reported click on the Options button and highlight the desired
alarm level(s). To select multiple levels press the  key (for
individual selections) or  key (for a range of selections) while
clicking on the desired levels.
S The Pause button pauses/stops the display of alarms. When the Pause
button is clicked the name of the button changes to Continue. When
the Continue button is clicked, the display of alarms continues.
Alarms that occur between the time the Pause button is clicked and
the Continue button is clicked are not displayed.
S The Clear button clears the Alarm Monitor display. New alarms that
occur after the Clear button is clicked are displayed.
S The Dismiss button dismisses/closes the Alarm Monitor display.

Purpose
The following procedures verify the customer defined alarms and relay
contacts are functioning properly. These tests are performed on all AMR
alarms/relays in a sequential manner until all have been verified. Perform
these procedures periodically to ensure the external alarms are reported
properly. Following these procedures ensures continued peak system
performance.
Study the site engineering documents and perform the following tests
only after first verifying that the AMR cabling configuration required to
interconnect the BTS frame with external alarm sensors and/or relays
meet requirements called out in the 1X SC 4812T-MC BTS Hardware
Installation .
NOTE
Motorola highly recommends that you read and understand
this procedure in its entirety before starting this procedure.

Automated Acceptance Test Procedures – TX & RX
Introduction
The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows 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 from 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.
CAUTION
Before performing any tests, use an editor to view the
“CAVEATS” section of the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf
folder for any applicable information.
The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service (OOS)
sectors only.
DO NOT substitute test equipment 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.

Reduced ATP
NOTE
Equipment has been factory–tested for FCC compliance. If
license–governing bodies require documentation
supporting SITE compliance with regulations, a full ATP
may be necessary. Perform the Reduced ATP only if
reports for the specific BTS site are NOT required.
After downloading the proper operational software to the BTS, the CFE
must perform these procedures (minimal recommendation):
S Verify the TX/RX paths by performing TX Calibration, TX Audit and
FER tests.
S Retrieve Calibration Data required for normal site operation.
Should failures occur while performing the specified tests, refer to the
Basic Troubleshooting section of this manual for help in determining the
failure point. Once the point of failure has been identified and corrected,
refer to the BTS Optimization and ATP Test Matrix (Table C-3, page
C-4) section to determine the applicable test that must be performed.
In the unlikely event that the BTS passes these tests but has a forward
link problem during normal operation, the CFE should then perform the
additional TX tests for troubleshooting: TX spectral mask, TX rho, and
TX code domain.
Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required:
S LMF
S Power meter (used with HP8921A/600 and Advantest R3465)
S Communications system analyzer
S Signal generator for FER testing (required for all communications
system analyzers for 1X FER)
WARNING
S Before installing any test equipment directly to any
BTS TX OUT connector, verify that there are no
CDMA channels keyed.
S At active sites, have the OMCR/CBSC place the carrier
assigned to the PAs under test OOS. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
NOTE
The test equipment must be re–calibrated before using it to
perform the TX Acceptance Tests.

ATP Test Prerequisites
NOTE
All PAs must be INS during any TX testing.
Before attempting to run any ATP tests, ensure the following have been
completed:
BTS has been optimized and calibrated (see Chapter 3).
LMF is logged into the BTS.
CSMs, GLIs, BBXs, and MCCs have correct code load and data load.
Primary CSM, GLI, and MCCs are INS_ACT (bright green).
BBXs are calibrated and BLOs are downloaded.
No BBXs are keyed (transmitting).
S BBXs are OOS_RAM (flashing green).
S Test cables are calibrated.
S Test equipment is connected for ATP tests (see Figure 3-18 through
Figure 3-23).
S Test equipment has been warmed up 60 minutes and calibrated.
S GPIB is on.
S BTS transmit connectors are properly terminated for the test(s) to be
performed.
WARNING
Before performing the FER, be sure that all PAs 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 OUT Connection
NOTE
Many of the acceptance test procedures require taking
measurements at the TX OUT connector. All
measurements will be via the BTS TX OUT connector.

ATP Test Options
NOTE
All PAs must INS during any TX testing.
The tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:
S All TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests.
S All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.
These include the GLI, MCC, BBX, and MCIO cards, the PAs and
passive components including ETMs, (S)PLCs, TX filters, and RF
cables.
S All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.
These include the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion
frames), MCIO, BBX, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive
components including RX filters (starter frame only), and RF cables.
S Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads the BLO,
and executes the TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests.
NOTE
The Full Optimization test can be run if you want the TX
path calibrated before all the TX and RX tests are run.
If manual testing has been performed with the HP analyzer,
remove the manual control/system memory card from the
card slot and set the I/O Config to the Talk & Lstn mode
before starting the automated testing.
NOTE
The STOP button can be used to stop the testing process.
Individual Acceptance Tests
The following individual tests can be used to verify the results of
specific tests.
Spectral Purity TX Mask (Primary & Redundant BBX)
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 (Primary & Redundant BBX)
This test verifies the 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 (with respect to total CDMA channel
power).
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 sectors/antennas. This 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).
ATP Test Procedure
Follow the procedure in Table 4-1 to perform any ATP test.
Table 4-1: ATP Test Procedure
n Step
Action
Be sure that all prerequisites have been met.
Select the device(s) to be tested.
IMPORTANT! Only one carrier can be tested at a time. All PAs must be INS during testing.
NOTE
If the LMF has been logged into the BTS with a different Multi–Channel Preselector setting than
the one to be used for this test, the LMF must be logged out of the BTS and logged in again with
the new Multi–Channel Preselector setting. Using the wrong MPC setting can cause a false test
failure.
From the Tests menu, select the test you want to run.
Select the appropriate carrier (carrier-bts#-sector#-carrier#) displayed in the Channels/Carrier
pick list.
NOTE
To select multiple items, hold down the  or  key while making the selections.
Enter the appropriate channel number in the Carrier n Channels box.
The default channel number displayed is determined by the CdmaChans[n] number in the
cbsc–n.cdf file for the BTS.
If applicable, select Verify BLO (default) or Single–sided BLO.

TX Spectral Purity Trasmit Mask Acceptance Test
Tx Mask Test
This test verifies the spectral purity of each BBX 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 connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 541 for each antenna, and all channel 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). BBX power output is set to obtain +40 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector (on the BTS 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, verify that results meet
system tolerances at the following test points:
– at least –45 dB @ + 750 kHz from center frequency
– at least –45 dB @ – 750 kHz from center frequency
– at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequency
– at least –60 dB @ – 1980 kHz from center frequency
The BBX then de-keys, and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

TX Waveform Quality (rho) Acceptance Test
Rho Test
This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element digital waveform
quality of each BBX 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 connector.
The Pilot Gain is set to 262 for each antenna, and all channel 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 the BTS directional
coupler).
The calibrated communications test set measures and returns the Pilot
channel element digital waveform quality (rho) in dB, verifying that the
result meets system tolerances:
S Waveform quality (rho) should be w 0.912 (–0.4 dB).
The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then be repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this
test.

TX Pilot Time Offset Acceptance Test
Pilot Offset Acceptance Test
This test verifies the transmitted Pilot channel element Pilot Time Offset
of each BBX 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 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 µs, verifying results meet system tolerances:
S Pilot Time Offset should be within + 3 µs of the target PT
Offset (0 µs).
The BBX then de-keys, and if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test
Code Domain Power Test
This test verifies the Code Domain Power/Noise of each BBX 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
connector.
For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCC
channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal
Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to be
assigned a full–rate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC/CEs to
be tested at 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.
BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT
connector.
You verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for all
ODD numbered Walsh channels, 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).
NOTE
When performing this test using the LMF and the MCC is
an MCC8E or MCC24E, the redundant BBX may fail or
show marginal performance. This is due to a timing
mismatch that the LMF does not address. Performing this
test from the CBSC will not have this timing problem.
The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX 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.
NOTE
If using Advantest test equipment, Code Domain Test
MUST be configured in RC–1 mode.
See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

RX Frame Error Rate (FER) Acceptance Test
FER Test
This test verifies the BTS 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 are 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 BBX is keyed
up, using only bbxlvl level offsets, to generate a CDMA carrier (with
pilot channel element only). BBX power output is set to –20 dBm as
measured at the TX OUT connector. The BBX must be keyed 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 that
results meet the following specification:
S 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, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to assign
the applicable redundant BBX to the current RX antenna paths under
test. The test is then repeated. See Table 4-1 to perform this test.

Updating Calibration Data Files
Software Release caveats
Software Release R2.16.4.1 allows the user to load the calibration file
from the LMF directly onto the MGLI. The MGLI will then ftp the new
calibration file to the OMC–R, thereby eliminating the need for the user
to place the calibration file at the OMC–R.
Copy and Load Cal File to to
CBSC
Updated calibration (CAL) file information must be moved from the
LMF Windows environment back to the CBSC, which resides in a Unix
environment. The procedures that follow detail how to move files from
one environment to the other.
Backup CAL Data to a Diskette
The BLO calibration files should be backed up to a diskette (per BTS).
Follow the procedure in Table 5-1 to copy CAL files from a CDMA
LMF computer to a diskette.
Table 5-1: Backup CAL Data to a Diskette
Step
5/21/04
Action
With Windows running on the LMF computer, insert a disk
into Drive A:\.
Launch the Windows Explorer application program from the
Start > Programs menu list.
Select the applicable :\).
With Solaris versions of Unix, create a Unix–formatted
version of the bts–#.cal file in the home directory by
performing the following:
9a
– Type in dos2unix /floppy/no_name/bts–#.cal bts–#.cal
and press the Enter key.
Where: # = BTS number for which the CAL file was
created
NOTE
Other versions of Unix do not support the dos2unix
command. In these cases, use the Unix cp (copy) command.
The copied files will contain DOS line feed characters which
must be edited out with a Unix text editor.

5-2
Type in ls –l *.cal and press the Enter key. Verify the CAL
files have been copied. Verify all CAL files to be transferred
appear in the displayed listing.

Table 5-8: Reset BTS Devices and Remote Site Initialization
Step
4b
Action
Depending on the number of installed operational GLI cards, perform one of the following:
– With fully redundant GLIs, contact the OMC–R and request the operator to run the ACTIVATE
command for the BTS.
– For a non–redundant GLI or a frame where the redundant GLI is not operational, contact the
OMC–R and request the operator:
S ACTIVATE the GLI to set the Nextload attribute for the GLI to the one for the current BSS
software version;
S Disable the GLI;
S Enable the GLI to allow the MM to load the software version specified by the Nextload
attribute;
S Once the GLI is INS_ACT, contact the OMC–R and request the operator ACTIVATE the BTS.
– Once the GLI cards are loaded with the specified code version, the active GLI will verify and
update, as required, the RAM and, if it is necessary, ROM code loads for the installed CSM,
MCC, and BBX cards using the DLM.
Packet BTS procedure:
5a
From the BTS site, contact the OMC–R and request the operator to PREACTIVATE the BTS to the
required software version for the BSS. There are two types of PREACTIVATE load processes:
– Rolling Upgrade: This load process is only available when the BTS cards are populated for full
redundancy as applicable.
– Quick Reboot: This process is used when there is not full redundancy for the BTS cards. The
GLI3 will disable and reboot to the new load. This will cause all the other cards to go out of
service. Once it is rebooted, the GLI3 determines which cards require a new load and then
downloads the cards in the order which they establish communication with the GLI3 following
their reboot. The GLI3 can reload up to 16 devices simultaneously.
Account for all tools used and parts removed from the frame during the operations, being sure none
were left inside the frame.
Visually inspect the frame for any foreign objects left inside, and remove any discovered.
Visually inspect all cable connections, ensuring they are connected as required for normal BTS
operation.
Be sure all internal frame cables are routed and secured to prevent damage to them when the frame
doors are closed.
10
Close and secure the cabinet doors.
11
Verify no alarm conditions are being reported to the OMC–R with the frame doors closed.
12
After all activities at the site have been completed, contact the OMC–R and confirm that the BTS is
under OMC–R control.

Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist
Problem Description
Many of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) board failures may
be resolved in the field before sending the boards to the factory for
repair. This section describes known CSM problems identified in field
returns, some of which are field-repairable. Check these problems before
returning suspect CSM boards.
Intermittent 19.6608 MHz
Reference Clock/GPS Receiver
Operation
If having any problems with CSM board kit numbers, SGLN1145 or
SGLN4132, check the suffix with the kit number. If the kit has version
“AB”, then replace with version “BC” or higher, and return model “AB”
to the repair center.
No GPS Reference Source
Check the CSM boards for proper hardware configuration. CSM kit
SGLN1145, in Slot l, has an on-board GPS receiver; while kit
SGLN4132, in Slot 2, does not have a GPS receiver. Any incorrectly
configured board must be returned to the repair center. Do not attempt to
change hardware configuration in the field. Also, verify the GPS
antenna is not damaged and is installed per recommended guidelines.
Checksum Failure
The CSM could have corrupted data in its firmware resulting in a
non-executable code. The problem is usually caused by either electrical
disturbance or interruption of data during a download. Attempt another
download with no interruptions in the data transfer. Return the CSM
board back to the repair center if the attempt to reload fails.
GPS Bad RX Message Type
This problem is believed to be caused by a later version of CSM
software (3.5 or higher) being downloaded, via LMF, followed by an
earlier version of CSM software (3.4 or lower), being downloaded from
the CBSC. Download again with CSM software code 3.5 or higher.
Return the CSM board back to the repair center if the attempt to reload
fails.

time/GPS and HSO verification section in Chapter 3. At least one
satellite should be visible and tracked for the “surveyed” mode and four
satellites should be visible and tracked for the “estimated” mode. Also,
verify correct base site position data used in “surveyed” mode.

Troubleshooting: C–CCP Backplane
Introduction
The C–CCP backplane is a multi–layer board that interconnects all the
C–CCP modules. The complexity of this board lends itself to possible
improper diagnoses when problems occur.
Connector Functionality
The following connector overview describes the major types of
backplane connectors along with the functionality of each. This
information allows the CFE to:
S Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem
type.
S Isolate problems to a specific cable or connector.
Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Inter Shelf Bus Connectors
The 40 pin Inter Shelf Bus (ISB) connectors provide an interface bus
from the master GLI to all other GLIs in the modem frame. Their basic
function is to provide clock synchronization from the master GLI to all
other GLIs in the frame.
The ISB also provides the following functions:
S Span line grooming when a single span is used for multiple cages.
S MMI connection to/from the master GLI to cell site modem.
S Interface between GLIs and the AMR (for reporting BTS alarms).
Span Line Connector
The 50–pin span line connector provides a primary and secondary (if
used) span line interface to each GLI in the C–CCP shelf. The span line
is used for MM/EMX switch control of the Master GLI and also all the
BBX traffic.
Primary “A” and Redundant “B” Reference Distribution
Module Input/Output
The Reference Distribution Module (RDM) connectors route the 3 MHz
reference signals from the CSMs to the GLIs and all BBXs in the
backplane. The signals are used to phase lock loop all clock circuits on
the GLIs and BBX boards to produce precise clock and signal
frequencies.
Power Input (Return A, B, and C connectors)
For –48 V configuration – Provides a –48 volt input for use by the
power supply modules.
For +27 V configuration – Provides input for regulated +27 Volts.

Troubleshooting: C–CCP Backplane
– continued
Power Supply Interface
Each C–CCP power supply has a series of three different connectors to
provide the needed inputs/outputs to the C–CCP backplane. These
include a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pin
interface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The C–CCP
Power Supplies convert +27 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, and +5.0
Volts to be used by the C–CCP shelf cards.
For –48V BTS only, the power supply modules convert –48 Volts to a
regulated +27 Volts.
GLI Connector
This connector consists of a Harting 4SU digital connector and a
6–conductor coaxial connector for RDM distribution. The connectors
provide inputs/outputs for the GLIs in the C–CCP backplane.
GLI 10Base–2 Ethernet “A” and “B” Connections
These BNC connectors are located on the C–CCP backplane and routed
to the GLI board. This interface provides all the control and data
communications between the master GLI and the other GLI, between
gateways, and for the LMF on the LAN.
BBX Connector
Each BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connector
and two 6–conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC,
digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the C–CCP backplane.
MCIO Connectors
S RX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX Tri–Filters
(on the I/O plate), and via coaxial cables to the two MPC modules –
the six “A” (main) signals go to one MPC; the six “B” (diversity) to
the other. The MPC outputs the low–noise–amplified signals via the
C–CCP backplane to the MCIO where the signals are split and sent to
the appropriate BBX.
S A digital bus then routes the baseband signal through the BBX, to the
backplane, then on to the MCC slots.
S Digital TX antenna path signals originate at the MCCs. Each output
is routed from the MCC slot via the backplane appropriate BBX.
S TX RF path signal originates from the BBX, through the backplane to
the MCIO, through the MCIO, and via multi-conductor coaxial
cabling to the PAs in the PA shelf.
C–CCP Backplane
Troubleshooting Procedure
Table 6-15 through Table 6-24 provide procedures for troubleshooting
problems that appear to be related to a defective C–CCP backplane. The
tables are broken down into possible problems and steps that should be

Step
Action
Verify DC power is applied to the BTS frame.
Verify there are no breakers tripped.
* IMPORTANT
If a breaker has tripped, remove all modules from the applicable shelf supplied by the breaker and
attempt to reset it.
– If the breaker trips again, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame.
– If the breaker does not trip, there is probably a defective module or sub–assembly within the shelf.
Verify that the C–CCP shelf breaker on the BTS frame breaker panel is functional.
Use a voltmeter to determine if the input voltage is being routed to the C–CCP backplane by
measuring the DC voltage level on the PWR_IN cable.
– If the voltage is not present, there is probably a cable or breaker problem within the frame.
– If the voltage is present at the connector, reconnect and measure the level at the “VCC” power
feed clip on the distribution backplane.
– If the voltage is correct at the power clip, inspect the clip for damage.
–48 V configuration only – If everything appears to be correct, visually inspect the power supply
module and verify LEDs are green.
–48 V configuration only – If LED is red, then replace the power suppy module with a known good
module and verify LEDs are green.
If steps 1 through 5 fail to indicate a problem, a C–CCP backplane failure (possibly an open trace) has
occurred.

Linkspeed: Default (56K for T1 D4 AMI, 64K otherwise)
Currently, the link is running at the default rate
The actual rate is 0
NOTE
Defaults for span equalization are 0–131 feet for T1/J1 spans and 120 Ohm for E1.
Default linkspeed is 56 kbps for T1 D4 AMI spans and 64 kbps for all other types.
There is no need to change from defaults unless the OMC–R/CBSC span configuration requires it.
The span configurations loaded in the GLI must match those in the OMCR/CBSC database for the
BTS. If they do not, proceed to Table 6-26.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for all remaining GLIs.
If the span settings are correct, verify the edlc parameters using the show command.
Any alarm conditions indicate that the span is not operating correctly.
S Try looping back the span line from the DSX panel back to the MM, and verify that the looped
signal is good.
S Listen for control tone on the appropriate timeslot from the Base Site and MM.
