NOTE

In this step, you will change the value of the Global Service Redirection Flag

(GLOBALREDIRECT) in the congestion control parameters so that the Global Service Redirect

Message is broadcast on the sector paging channel.

11 Enter the following command at the prompt:

omc–000000>EDIT SECTOR–<bts#>–<sector#> CONGESTCONF !

The system prompts you to enter each control parameter value one at a time. Skip through the

prompts until you get to the following:

(This forces the Global Service Redirect Message to be broadcast on the sector paging channel.)

The system displays the values of the control parameters. Verify that only the

GLOBALREDIRECT value changed.

omc–000000>Accept [yes/no]?

Enter Y to accept the change.

Now the Global Service Redirection Message is sent over the sector paging channels. All

subscribers are redirected away from the sector and onto a different system. This effectively shuts

down the sector.

NOTE

SHUTDOWN and REDIRECT both prevent future calls from being originated on the targeted

resource, but only SHUTDOWN waits indefinitely for the calls to terminate. When the resource

becomes idle, SHUTDOWN automatically transitions the resource to the locked/disabled state.

14 If you redirected subscribers but do not want to use SHUTDOWN, go to step 15.

If you redirected subscribers and want to use SHUTDOWN, go to step 16.

15 Wait three minutes to allow any active calls to terminate then go to step 18.

16 Shutdown all carriers equipped for the target sector at the BTS by repeatedly entering the

following command at the prompt:

omc–000000>SHUTDOWN CARRIER–<bts#>–<sector#>–<carrier#>

Repeat this command for each sector–carrier associated with the target sector.

NOTE

When a BBX is keyed, it is in an UNLOCKED/ENABLED/ACTIVE state.

When a BBX is in an UNLOCKED/ENABLED/IDLE state, it is dekeyed and INS_STANDBY.

As long as the sector–carrier associated with the BBX is LOCKED/DISABLED/IDLE, the BBX

cannot be keyed. Also the redundant BBX does not switchover for an INS_STANDBY primary

BBX.

17 Observe that the system automatically returns a “Network Element State Change Event” message

for each carrier after it is shutdown. This message shows the old and new states for the carrier. The

CARRIER will go from UNLOCKED/ENABLED/ACTIVE to

SHUTTINGDOWN/ENABLED/ACTIVE to LOCKED/DISABLED/IDLE.

When each BTS carrier shutdown in step 16 is reported as LOCKED/DISABLED/IDLE, the

primary BBXs associated with the target sector–carrier will be reported as

UNLOCKED/ENABLED/IDLE.

If you determine that it is taking too long for carriers to shutdown and the associated primary

BBXs to transition to UNLOCKED/ENABLED/IDLE state, perform step 18 to abort the

shutdown process and LOCK/DISABLE the carriers.

18 Lock/disable all carriers equipped for the target sector at the BTS by repeatedly entering either of

the following commands at the prompt:

omc–000000>DISABLE CARRIER–<bts#>–<sector#>–<carrier#> UNC

Shut Down Carrier Signaling Functions

for a Packet BTS

If a carrier shutdown is required for the FRU replacement and the site is

currently under CBSC control, follow the procedure in Table 10-10 to

disable the carrier at a packet BTS.

This carrier shut down procedure takes a carrier

out–of–service (OOS) but does not affect the other carriers.

To minimize system impact, it may be advisable (but not

necessary) to perform this procedure during a maintenance

window.

CAUTION

The EDIT CARRIER REDIRECT or REDIRECT2

command does NOT affect calls in progress and does NOT

move these calls to another sector/carrier. The command

only prevents future calls from being originated on the

targeted sector/carrier. If active call processing is still

taking place in the target sector/carrier, wait for any active

calls to terminate before disabling the sector/carrier.

IMPORTANT

The SHUTDOWN command does NOT affect calls in

progress and does NOT move these calls to another BTS.

Shutdown is a camp–on state, it prevents future calls from

being originated on the targeted resource and waits for calls

to terminate. When the resource becomes idle, it is

automatically transitioned to the locked/disabled state.

Shutdown does not redirect subscribers to another

site/carrier.

Shutdown camp–on time is indefinite. Shutdown can be

aborted at anytime by invoking the LOCK or DISABLE

command.

IMPORTANT

Refer to the System Commands Reference manual

(68P09256A58) part/of Cellular System Administration

AT THE OMC–R

1Open a CLI window. Refer to the Accessing OMC–R CLI Window section on page 10-2.

* IMPORTANT

It is recommended that you redirect subscribers to another sector/carrier and then wait for any

active calls to terminate before locking/disabling the sector/carrier.

NOTE

SHUTDOWN and REDIRECT both prevent future calls from being originated on the targeted

resource, but only SHUTDOWN waits indefinitely for the calls to terminate. When the resource

becomes idle, SHUTDOWN automatically transitions the resource to the locked/disabled state.

2If you are not concerned about redirecting subscribers and waiting for any active calls to terminate

and you just want to lock/disable the sector/carrier, perform step 15 and step 20 only.

If you are not concerned about redirecting subscribers but you want to use SHUTDOWN and wait

for all active calls to terminate before locking/disabling the sector/carrier, perform step 15, step 18

and step 19.

If you want to redirect subscribers and then wait for any active calls to terminate before

locking/disabling the sector/carrier, go to step 3.

NOTE

The REDIRECT command is used to redirect subscribers to an 1.9 GHz site or to invoke the

REDIRECT2 command which is then used to redirect subscribers to a different CDMA carrier

frequency. REDIRECT2 is the preferred command if an alternate CDMA carrier is available.

* IMPORTANT

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

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

operations at the end of the replacement procedure.

at a neighbor sector/site. A value of 1 redirects subscribers to a 1.9 GHz site. This example uses

2.)

<expectedsid> , enter 13

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

redirected. This example uses 13. The valid range is 0 – 32767; the default is 0.)

<ignorecdma> , enter Y

<sysordering> , enter CUSTOM

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

obtain service on the different analog systems. Valid values are: CUSTOM – use custom system

selection; AONLY – try the A system only; BONLY – use the B system only; AFIRST – try the A

system first. If unsuccessful, try the B system; BFIRST – try the B system first. If unsuccessful,

try the A system; AORB – try A or B. If unsuccessful try the alternative system; CUSTOM is the

default.)

<rotatetimer> , enter 4

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

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

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

Overview

The information in this chapter addresses some of the scenarios likely to

be encountered by Customer Field Engineering (CFE) team members

while performing BTS optimization and acceptance testing. This

troubleshooting guide was created as an interim reference document for

use in the field. It provides “what to do if” basic troubleshooting

suggestions when the BTS equipment does not perform according to the

procedures documented in the manual.

Comments are consolidated from inputs provided by CFEs and

information gained from experience in Motorola labs and classrooms.

Table 11-1: Login Failure Troubleshooting Procedures

Step Action

1If the GLI LED is solid RED, it implies a hardware failure. Reset GLI by re-seating it. If this persists,

install GLI card in GLI slot and retry. A Red LED may also indicate no termination on an external

LAN connector (power entry compartment at rear of frame).

2Verify that the span line is disconnected at the Span I/O card. If the span is still connected, verify the

CBSC has disabled the BTS.

3Try to ‘ping’ the GLI.

4Verify the LMF is connected to the primary LAN (LAN A) at the LAN shelf below the CCP2 cage. If

LAN A is not the active LAN, force a LAN switch to LAN A by following the procedure in

Table 11-2.

5Verify the LMF was configured properly.

6If a Xircom parallel BNC LAN interface is being used, verify the BTS-LMF cable is RG-58 (flexible

black cable less than 2.5 feet in length).

7Verify the external LAN connectors are properly terminated (power entry compartment at rear of

frame).

8Verify a T-adapter is not used on LMF computer side connector when connected to the primary LAN

at the LAN shelf.

9Try connecting to the Ethernet Out port in the power entry compartment (rear of frame). Use a

TRB–to–BNC (triax–to–coax) adapter at the LAN connector for this connection.

10 Re-boot the LMF and retry.

11 Re-seat the GLI and retry

12 Verify GLI IP addresses are configured properly by following the procedure in Table 11-3.

Table 11-2: Force Ethernet LAN A to Active State as Primary LAN

Step Action

1If LAN A is not the active LAN, make certain all external LAN connectors are either terminated with

50Ω loads or cabled to another frame.

2If it has not already been done, connect the LMF computer to the stand–alone or starter frame, as

applicable (Table 6-6).

3If it has not already been done, start a GUI LMF session and log into the BTS on the active LAN

(Table 6-7).

4Remove the 50Ω termination from the LAN B IN connector in the power entry compartment at the

rear of the stand–alone or starter frame. The LMF session will become inactive.

5Disconnect the LMF computer from the LAN shelf LAN B connector and connect it to the LAN A

connector.

6If the LAN was successfully forced to an active state (the cards in any cage can be selected and

statused), proceed to step 13.

7With the 50Ω termination still removed from the LAN B IN connector, remove the 50Ω termination

from LAN B OUT connector. If more than one frame is connected to the LAN, remove the termination

from the last frame in the chain.

8If the LAN was successfully forced to an active state (the cards in any cage can be selected and

statused), proceed to step 13.

9With the 50Ω terminations still removed from LAN B, unseat each GLI card in each frame connected

to the LAN, until all are disconnected from the shelf backplanes.

10 Reseat each GLI card until all are reconnected.

11 Allow the GLIs to power up, and attempt to select and status cards in the CCP shelves. If LAN A is

active, proceed to step 13.

12 If LAN A is still not active, troubleshoot or continue troubleshooting following the procedures in 13.

13 Replace the 50Ω terminations removed from the LAN B IN and OUT connectors.

MCC–DO Code Domain

The code domain power test verifies the noise floor of a carrier keyed up

at a specific frequency per the CDF file.

Code domain power is the power in each code channel of a CDMA

Channel. The CDMA time reference used in the code domain power test

is derived from the Pilot Channel and is used as the reference for

demodulation of all other code channels. This test verifies that

orthogonality is maintained between the code channels. When transmit

diversity is enabled, this test also verifies that time alignment is also

maintained.

microseconds, verifying that the result is within 3 microseconds (10

microseconds for JCDMA systems) of the target pilot time offset (zero

microseconds).

Pilot time is defined as the estimate of CDMA System Time derived

from observation of the pilot signal at the base station RF output port.

Pilot time alignment error is the difference between the measured pilot

time and the expected time, taking into account CDMA System Time

and pilot offset.

Agilent R7495A Test Equipment

Setup

This test equipment requires a warm-up period of at least 30 minutes

before BTS testing or calibration begins.

Using the Agilent E7495A with the LMF

The Agilent E7495A does not require the use of the 19MHz frequency

reference; if connected, it will be ignored. The Even Sec SYNC

connection is required.

The Agilent E7495A signal generator is only calibrated down to –80db.

In order to achieve accurate FER testing, be sure the RX setup includes

at least 40db of attenuation. This will ensure the signal generator will

output sufficient power to operate in the calibrated range.

Set the IP Address as described in Table B-1.

Table B-1: Set IP Address on Agilent E7495A test set

nStep Action

1Use the System Button > Controls >IPAdmin to set an IP address on the E7495A as 128.0.0.49,

and Netmask to 255.255.255.128.

Connections

It is recommended that you use a hub with BNC and RJ–45 connections.

[Suggested models: Netgear model EN104 (4 port) or EN108 (8 port).

Do NOT use model numbers ending with “TP”; those have no BNC

connectors.]

The LMF will connect to the hub which in turn is connected to the BTS

and to the Agilent E7495A.

Agilent E7495A to Hub – This is an Ethernet cable, RJ–45 to RJ–45.

LMF to Hub – Use one of the following cables to connect the LMF to

the Hub:

– Ethernet cable, RJ–45 to RJ–45 (be sure that the LAN card is set for

either AUTO or to use the RJ–45 only).

– Coax cable between LAN card and Hub. (Use a “T” on the hub and

connect a cable between the other end of the “T” and the BTS LAN

connection).

Hub to BTS – Use BNC “T” connector on the hub. [If your hub doesn’t

have BNC ports, use a BNC to UTP adapter.]

Follow the directions in the WinLMF program to calibrate cables.

– Calibrate the short cable (see Figure 6-12 or Figure 6-14) and two

10 dB pads to get a base line and then calibrate the TX and RX

setup. Since you need at least 40 dB of loss when doing the FER

test, the setup for RX is the same as TX.

Advantest R3465 Connection

The following diagram depicts the rear panels of the Advantest R3465

test equipment as configured to perform automatic tests. All test

equipment is controlled by the WinLMF via an IEEE–488/GPIB bus.

The WinLMF expects each piece of test equipment to have a factory-set

GPIB address (refer to Table B-9 and Figure B-9). If there is a

communications problem between the WinLMF and any piece of test

equipment, verify that the GPIB addresses have been set correctly and

that the GPIB cables are firmly connected to the test equipment.

by adjusting the Increment Set to 0.1 dBm and targeting in on 0 dBm.

17 Disconnect the power sensor from the RF OUT ONLY port of the PCS Interface.

NOTE

The Power Meter sensor’s lower limit is –30 dBm. Thus, only components having losses ≤30 dB

should be measured using this method. For further accuracy, always re-zero the power meter

before connecting the power sensor to the component being calibrated. After connecting the

power sensor to the component, record the calibrated loss immediately.

18 Disconnect all components in the test setup and calibrate each one separately by connecting each

component, one-at-a-time, between the RF OUT ONLY PORT and the power sensor. Record the

calibrated loss value displayed on the power meter.

SExample: (A) Test Cable(s) = –1.4 dB

(B) 20 dB Attenuator = –20.1 dB

(B) Directional Coupler = –29.8 dB

19 After all components are calibrated, reassemble all components together and calculate the total test

setup loss by adding up all the individual losses:

SExample: Total test setup loss = –1.4 –29.8 –20.1 = –51.3 dB.

DRAFT

Exception Procedure –

Downloading ROM Code

This procedure is not part of a normal optimization.

Perform this procedure only on an exception basis when no alternative

exists to load a BTS device with the correct version of ROM code.

One GLI must be INS_ACT (bright green) before ROM

code can be downloaded to non–GLI devices.

NOTE

The correct ROM and RAM codes for the software release

used on the BSS must be loaded into BTS devices. To

identify the correct device ROM and RAM code loads for

the software release being used on the BSS, refer to the

Version Matrix section of the SCt CDMA Release Notes

(supplied on the tapes or CD–ROMs containing the BSS

software).

All devices in a BTS must be loaded with the ROM and

RAM code specified for the software release used on the

BSS before any optimization or ATP procedures can be

performed.

If a replacement device is loaded with ROM code which is

not compatible with the BSS software release being used,

the device ROM code can be changed using the LMF

before performing the BTS optimization and ATPs. A

device loaded with later release ROM code can not be

converted back to a previous release ROM code in the field

without Motorola assistance

CAUTION

If it is necessary to download ROM code to a device from the LMF, the

procedure in Table C-1 includes steps for both ROM and RAM code

download using the LMF.

Prerequisites

Prior to performing this procedure, ensure the correct ROM and RAM

code files exist in the LMF computer’s applicable <x>:\<lmf home

directory>\cdma\loads\<codeload#>\code folder for each of the devices

to be loaded.

Downloading ROM Code – continued

C-2 1X SC480 BTS Hardware Installation, Optimization/ATP, and FRU Jun 2004

DRAFT

The Release level of the ROM code to be downloaded

must be the one specified for the software release installed

in the BSS. The release level of the ROM code resident in

the other devices in the BTS must also be correct for the

BSS software release being used. ROM code must not be

downloaded to a frame loaded with code for a BSS

software release with which it is not compatible.

This procedure should only be used to upgrade

replacement devices for a BTS. It should NOT be used to

upgrade all devices in a BTS. If a BTS is to be upgraded

from R15.x to R16.0, the upgrade should be done by the

OMC–R using the DownLoad Manager.
