2.3 Management—Datafill, Configuration and Optimization

This section describes configuration techniques that affect the behavior of the MC-

Series OPM system. The Datafill section covers the datafill parameters as they differ

from the Motorola EBTS. Section System Manager, Configuration, and Optimization

covers configuration options using System Manager, with sections Navigating

System Manager and Configuring the MC-Series OPM System introducing basic

operations and Optimization Procedures presenting optimization procedures.

The MC-Series OPM system is designed for compatibility with the Motorola EBRC

and QUAD Base Radios (BRs). However, due to architecture differences between

the two systems, not all datafill parameters apply equally to the MC-Series OPM

system.

2.3.1 Datafill

This section describes only those datafill parameters that need to be taken into

consideration when used with the MC-Series OPM system. Any datafill parameter

not described here can be assumed to behave identically to the Motorola EBTS.

This section includes:

• 2.3.2 (Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM System)

Parameters that have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system

• 2.3.3 (Recommended Datafill Parameters) Parameters that RadioFrame

Networks supports, but which need to be setup differently from the typical

setup for a Motorola BR

2.3.2 Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM System

The following parameters have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system. There is

no functional equivalent in the MC-Series OPM system, and as such the

parameters can be ignored.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide998-5005-01 Rev X1

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

A. combinerType

This parameter specifies the type of combiner used to connect the cells Base

Radios to the antenna. The options are hybrid and cavity. The MC-Series OPM

system is similar to a cavity type combiner physically but it does not have the

same frequency limitations as the cavity combiner that this parameter is used

for.

2.3.3 Recommended Datafill Parameters

The following parameters need to be set differently than what is currently set with

Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best

operation.

A. PCC

The power control constant is broadcast on the BCCH and is used by the MS

to calculate a target value for its transmit power. For Indoor Pico and Micro-Cell

applications this value will vary depending upon the RF environment (i.e., if

used outdoors the value will be quite different from an indoor scenario). For the

MC-Series OPM system, the setting of this parameter depends on what is

connected between the MC-Series OPM system and the antenna. The default

value should be calculated in accordance with Motorola guidance detailed in

the Datafill Parameter Guide. Lowering this parameter forces the mobile to

operate at fairly low Tx level thus conserving battery life. In cases where the

MC-Series OPM system is connected to a DAS, the gains and losses of the

paths should be taken into consideration. Additionally the level of uplink

interference should be considered when determining this value.

B. Pto (transmit power)

The Cells outbound transmit power referenced at the output of the RF

Distribution System Antenna Port. It is used as a reference point value when

computing the link budget of the system. RadioFrame Networks recommends

that the value of this parameter be set appropriate to the TOR output power,

which is determined by the defaultTxPower parameter (see below).

2.3.4 rxTxGain = 0

This parameter is the difference in gain between the receiver and transmit

antenna paths expressed in dB. The MC-Series OPM system does not use this

parameter directly.

2.3.5 defaultTxPower

Note: Refer to release notes for the proper range

information.

This is the average output power of the PA, measured at the RF connector of the

BR. For the MC-Series OPM system, this parameter can be used to adjust the

output power of the system. The gain at the shelf is fixed and cannot be altered.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

The MC-Series OPM system has a different range of output levels than a standard

Motorola EBTS, and as such, these values will map to a different set of actual Tx

output power levels. Refer to the Datafill Guide for the values and more

information.

3.1 Upgrading MC-Series OPM System Software

The following procedures describe how to upgrade MC-Series OPM System

software. System Manager contains two separate partitions in which to install

software: active and inactive. This provides the means to revert back to a previous

version of system software if required.

3.1.1 Download MC-Series OPM System Software to the Laptop Computer

Note: If the laptop already contains the docs, platform

and iden directories for the system software in

the root, you may wish to delete these directories

and all of their contents before downloading and

extracting the latest system software. This way

you can ensure a complete clean install.

Download the latest system software, a self-extracting zip file, from:

Networks PartnerWeb site, you will be asked to register. Use your IIOF e-mail

address and create a password.

2. Once your account is authenticated, install/extract the zip file directly into the C:/

drive on the laptop. The install creates three directories at the root level: docs,

platform and iden.

3.1.2 Download FTP Server Software to the Laptop Computer

You will need an FTP server application running on the laptop computer. If one is

already installed, you can skip to section 3.2 (Update the MC-Series OPM System

Software). The following procedure installs a shareware program (Wftpd.exe) and

configures it correctly. Use the method for your version of Windows.

System Manager Alarms

The MC-Series OPM System provides fault alarming and isolation within System

Manager for individual components, which consists of detecting catastrophic faults

that prevent a component from responding to a periodic “ping”. Depending on the

severity, alarms are sent to the OMC via the iSCIII.

The Alarms/Events Reference Guide, included on the MC-Series CD and available

on the RadioFrame Networks website, lists the alarms by ID code.

All alarms passed to the OMC use the IIOF Alarm Code 35009, which uses the event

description “Unable to key BR”.

The Pole Mount system also introduces a new iDEN alarm (4133). Table 5.7

shows the properties for this alarm code.

In an OPM system with greater than 6 carriers provisioned in a sector, the default

TX power cannot exceed 9.2. It is necessary, therefore, to reconfigure the default

TX power to a value of 9.2 or less.

If more than 6 carriers are provisioned in a single sector AND the defaultTxPower

exceeds 9.2 on any of those BRs, then the maximum allowable TX Power will be

de-rated for the BRs in that Sector as shown in Table 5.8.

blade, locking and unlocking the blade and locking and unlocking the BR. For these

reasons, only if the blade continues to generate these faults under normal operating

circumstances is an alarm generated.

The RadioBlade transceiver faults are listed in Table 5.9.

Table 5.9 Faults by the Transceiver

If a RadioBlade transceiver generates enough errors such that it crosses the Bounce

and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be generated. This

alarm will also cause the RadioBlade Locking Policy to lock that RadioBlade

transceiver. Table 5.10 lists the fault count and fault period for an alarm to be

generated.

5.6 RadioBlade Troubleshooting

In addition to the above-mentioned errors, if the system loses communication with a

RadioBlade transceiver or is unable to read the EEPROM from the blade, then that

blade is put into an error state and if a standby blade is available it will switch over

automatically.

5.6.1 RadioBlade Locking Policy

The RadioBlade locking policy defines the actions taken by the system when a

determination is made that a RadioBlade transceiver should no longer be allowed

to remain active. This could be the result of an alarm, insertion, removal or

intervention (the user specifically locking the RadioBlade transceiver).

In general, the policy is that if a blade is taken out of service and a standby

RadioBlade transceiver is available, then the standby RadioBlade transceiver will

go into service. If no standby RadioBlade transceiver is available then the

associated BR(s) will be locked. (For the Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver,

the locking event locks all carriers.)

The RadioBlade locking policy is enabled by default and in effect at all times.

5.6.2 Standby Blade

A Standby Blade is an extra RadioBlade transceiver that is installed in the system

but does not have a configured BR with which to register. To setup Standby

Blades, make sure that there are more RadioBlade transceivers for each DRBS

Group than Base Radios configured in the iDEN configuration page.

In all the conditions described below, if RadioBlade transceivers are present in the

system that are in the hot-standby state, then locking the RadioBlade transceiver

(due to alarms, removal of a RadioBlade transceiver or administratively locking

RadioBlade transceivers) will result in the hot Standby Blade transceiver being

assigned to the BR that de-registered the locked RadioBlade transceiver.

5.6.3 Locking Policy for RadioBlade Transceiver with Errors

If the RadioBlade transceiver generates enough faults such that it crosses the

Bounce and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be

generated. The RadioBlade controller then notifies the associated BR, which then

locks the RadioBlade transceiver. This will result in disabling the BR.

If there is a faulty RadioBlade transceiver in the system (generating error alarms),

it is prevented from coming up after a commanded reset/system reset, but the

operator could manually unlock the RadioBlade transceiver, at which point the

RadioBlade transceiver would be assigned to a BR. (This would not prevent the

system from locking it again if an excessive error condition recurs).

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

A. Removal of RadioBlade Transceiver

When a RadioBlade transceiver is physically removed, an event is generated

in the System Manager Event Log notifying the user about the RadioBlade

transceiver removal. The RadioBlade controller will then de-register the

RadioBlade transceiver from the BR(s), which will result in locking the BR(s).

A RadioBlade transceiver Insert event is generated when the RadioBlade

transceiver is inserted into the system.

B. Administrative Locking of a RadioBlade Transceiver

By definition, administrative locking of a RadioBlade transceiver is in effect if

the RadioBlade transceiver lock icon on the RadioBlade Transceiver Status

page is changed to “locked”.

The Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver is treated as a unit (single RBID)

with respect to administrative locking.

The following rules apply to locking a RadioBlade transceiver.

• The BR(s) associated with the administratively locked RadioBlade

transceiver will go into a Disabled state. Only that RadioBlade

transceiver will lock, and its icon will change to “locked”.

• If an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver is replaced, the new

RadioBlade transceiver will be considered unlocked upon insertion.

(Administrative locking applies to a particular RadioBlade transceiver and

not to a particular DRBS Slot).

• Upon unlocking an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver, the

BR that was previously disabled due to the locked state will go into the

enabled state.

The lock policy will be preserved through a system reset. Locking of the

RadioBlade transceiver will also be preserved through a system reset. Locking

of RadioBlade transceivers in the disabled state will not be preserved through a

system reset. However, after a system reset, those blades that were originally

in the disabled state due to the effects of a) the locked RadioBlade transceiver

and b) the locking policy will likely return to the disabled state.

The RadioBlade Control page of System Manager has a “Lock All / Unlock All”

feature. Refer to Figure 5.2. With an MCRB, locking the top padlock as shown

on the RadioBlade Control page will lock all carriers for that MCRB while

selecting the padlock on the individual carrier will lock only that carrier.
