BNC Connector Cards By placing a jumper between pins 1 and 2 of headers P4 (port 1) and P6 (port 2), the outer conductor of the dual port BNC 75 Ohm E1 card is grounded. This adheres to the ITU G.703 specification, which states that the receive coaxial pair must be floating, but with the option to ground. The BTS is shipped with 4 jumpers in place which ground both the transmit and the receive coaxial pair. It is mandatory that the transmit pair is grounded.
After the E1 card jumpers are checked for their correct placement, reinsert the dual port E1 card in the chassis, and screw it into place. 2-3.2 Configure Cable Length DIP Switch Settings on T1 Cards To configure the DIP switch settings on a T1 card: 1 Ensure that anti-static precautions are taken. 2 Make note of the orientation of the cables and disconnect them from the selected card. 3 Using a Phillips screwdriver, fully loosen the two screws located at the top and bottom of the card.

2-4 Connecting Power and Ground Cables Use this section to connect your earth ground and power cables to the BTS cabinet. 2-4.1 Connecting the Grounding Cable The cabinet should be grounded to the site earth ground ring. Complete the following to connect an earth ground to the chassis. 1 Route a customer-supplied 10 AWG (2.5 mm) or larger copper wire to a grounding lug inserted into one of the M10 tap holes shown in Figure 2-3. 2 Connect the other end of the lead stud to the closest grounding bus.
AC Operation The BTS is shipped from the factory with the internal cabling routed from the AC power supply subrack assembly to a molex connector on the top rear of the cabinet. A power supply cable is included with the BTS which should be used to connect to your AC power supply or battery backup system. Make connections from the AC power supply to the cabinet as follows: 1 Verify the ground connection you made in Section 2-4.1 is secure.
-48 VDC Operation The BTS is shipped from the factory with the internal cabling routed from the DC power supply subrack assembly to a molex connector on the top rear of the cabinet. A power supply cable is included with the BTS which should be used to connect to your DC power supply or battery backup system. Use the following procedure: The power main must be a Safe Extra-Low Voltage (SELV), -48 VDC supply as defined in IEC950 and EN60950. 1 Verify the ground connection you made in Section 2-4.
2-5 Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk Cables External trunk cabling depends on the configuration that the customer ordered and the site-specific requirements. These cables will be supplied by the customer. Failure to use electrically compliant T1 or E1 cables may cause transmission errors. Please refer to the appropriate subsections to determine your cable requirements. The E1 or T1 trunk cables are routed internally from the E1 or T1 trunk card in the baseband subrack assembly to the top rear of the BTS cabinet.
Before connecting E1 lines to the BTS, it is assumed that the quality of the lines has been verified. It is recommended that bit error ratio tests be completed to ensure that the BER is less than 10-8.

2-6.8 Sectorized Two TRX (S11) Configuration This is a 50 watt (47 dBm) four antenna configuration available in either 850 MHz or 900 MHz frequencies. This configuration has two sectors with one TRX per sector. These antenna connections also apply to the 25 watt (44 dBm) 850 MHz configuration.
2-6.10 Two Sector Four TRX (S22) Configuration This is a 50 watt (47 dBm) four antenna configuration available in either 850 MHz or 900 MHz frequencies. This configuration has two sectors with two TRXs per sector. These antenna connections also apply to the 25 watt (44 dBm) 900 MHz configuration.
2-6.12 Three Sector Five TRX (S221) Configuration This is a 50 watt (47 dBm) six antenna configuration available in either 850 MHz or 900 MHz frequencies. This configuration has three sectors with two TRXs in two sectors and one TRX in the last sector.
2-6.14 Two Sector Five TRX (S32) Configuration This is a 25 watt (44 dBm) four antenna configuration available in either 850 MHz or 900 MHz frequencies. This configuration has one sector with three TRXs in one sector and two TRXs in the other sector.
2-6.16 Two Sector Six TRX (S42) Configuration This is a 25 watt (44 dBm) four antenna configuration available in either 850 MHz or 900 MHz frequencies. This configuration has two sectors with four TRXs in one sector and two TRXs in the other sector.
RF power density can be calculated with the equation: S = P * G / 4p R2, where S = power density in mW/cm, P = power input to the antenna in mW, G = power gain of the antenna, and R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna in cm. By rearranging this equation, the relationship between distance (R) and Power Density (S) can be found. Rearranging R =Ö(PG / 4p S), and solving for the maximum limits of 2.90 mW/ cm 2, and 0.58 mW/ cm 2 we have: R(2.90 mW/cm2) = Ö 1,260,000 mW / 4p * 2.
2-7 Connecting External Alarms The WAVEView OMC supports many alarms from the BTS. The external alarms are reflected at the OMC operator station, and may be used for site alarms, such as open door, temperature and battery back-up alarms. These customer defined alarms are sampled every two minutes by default and will report an alarm when sent by the BTS alarm controller. Using the details provided in these sections, make your connections for external alarm inputs.
identifiers correspond to the alarm code sent to the OMC. See Table 2-11 for Terminal Block pin assignments, and see Figure 2-31 for external alarm connection details.

1 Close the serial connection by placing your cursor in the Xterm window which was used to establish a serial connection, and press the [~] key and the [.] key. 2 After a few seconds the returned message should read Disconnected, and the display will revert back to build@craftpc:-> prompt. Specific shutdown instructions MUST be followed when powering off the Craft PC. DO NOT POWER OFF THE CRAFT PC BY PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON. Use the shutdown instructions included in Section 3-4.
3-5 Upgrading the BTS Software Version (Flash) Use this procedure if the procedures in Section 3-3.1 indicate that you need to update your software version. The BTS stores its release software in Flash RAM. This section explains how to upgrade the BTS Flash boot image locally using the Craft PC. In order to update the BTS Flash boot image locally using the Craft PC, the Craft PC hard drive must contain the software version (Flash boot image) to be installed.
If Current Image Value is 0 (value = 0 = 0x0) 8 Load the new Flash in the inactive image. At the bts-> prompt, type: bts-> writeFlashImage “btsflash.bin”, 1 [ENTER] 9 This takes about one minute. When the bts-> prompt returns, set the inactive image containing the new Flash as the active or current image, type: bts-> setImageCurrent 1 [ENTER] 10 Reboot the BTS for the new Flash image to take effect by pressing the key combination [CTRL][x].
3-6 Post Off-Line Commissioning The following post off-line commissioning procedures are necessary to ensure that the BTS is ready for on-line commissioning. In the case of off-line commissioning at a staging area, these procedures ensure that the BTS is ready for installation. In the case of off-line commissioning after on-site installation, these procedures ensure that the BTS is ready for on-line commissioning.
Four Off-Line Commissioning of a Daisy Chain 40000 Up to four UltraWAVE BTSs, WAVEXpress BTSs and/or TurboMAX BTSs can be incorporated into a daisy chain connected to a BSC. If this configuration is used, each BTS must be installed separately, and must have off-line commissioning procedures independently performed. Once each BTS is installed and commissioned, the BTSs can be daisy chained together.
4-2 Setting the Abis LAPD Signaling Timeslot This procedure sets the Abis LAPD timeslot between the MSC and each BTS. If the Abis timeslot is not set, it automatically defaults to 16. This procedure is optional for a star configured BTS, but is required for all BTSs which will be used in a daisy chain. In this case, each BTS must have its Abis timeslot set to a unique number in the chain. This information will be used by the OMC operator to configure the daisy chain.
Five On-Line Commissioning 50000 On-line commissioning takes place on-site after installation and off-line commissioning. Its purpose it to verify that the equipment is operational and can be integrated into the telecommunications network. On-line commissioning requires the participation of two people; a field technician who operates and tests the BTS on-site and an OMC operator who remains as the OMC console.
5-1 Pre On-Line Commissioning Requirements Before on-line commissioning begins, the field technician or the OMC operator must verify that: • • • The BSC or BS Plus, and the WXC or MSC are fully commissioned, in service and connected to each other and to the BTS. The OMC is in service and connected to the BSC via the MSC as defined in the interWAVE Network Implementation Manual.
5-2 On-Line Commissioning The network commissioning procedures must be performed at the OMC and at the NIB. This requires two persons working from two different documentation sets: • A field technician who remains on site. They must have a filled out copy of Checklist 2 and a copy of this manual. • An OMC operator who remains at the OMC. They must have a copy of the WAVEView OMC Configuration Guide. The following flowchart provides a high-level view of the procedures.

Before starting any of the following procedures, the field technician needs to ensure that anti-static precautions are taken. Before disconnecting the E1 or T1 cables, the field technician must make sure that the cable is labeled in a way that clearly identifies its origin (a particular E1 or T1 port of the BSC, or a particular port of an E1 or T1 panel, etc.) and destination (a particular E1 or T1 slot and port on the BSC).
Test 3 A B C D If the second external alarm is used, close the alarm relay (i.e. trigger the second customer-defined alarm). After a delay, the OMC operator must observe an alarm event. Close the alarm relay by opening the alarm contact. After a delay, the alarm state displayed at the OMC changes from open to closed.

5-3 Antenna Cabling and Power Verification 5-3.1 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Check The VSWR check should be performed by the team responsible for the antenna installation. The purpose of the check is to ensure the integrity of the antenna and the antenna connection by determining whether the reflected power reading is higher than the recommended value. The reflected power is defined as a ratio of the power output versus the reflected power return.
1 At the OMC, make sure that the BTS is in a locked state. 2 Disconnect the appropriate antenna cable from cabinet. This cable will correspond to the TRX which you are testing. See Section 2-6 for additional RF cabling information. 3 Ensure that the OMC is configured so that the BCCH is on the TRX you are testing. The procedure for BCCH reconfiguration can be found in the Network Configuration section of the WAVEView OMC Configuration Guide.
5 Make a call through the BTS. After the initial setup messages, the following log as described in Figure 5-2 will be produced every five seconds for each call in progress. Figure 5-2 shows what each set of bytes means. Note that all of the counters are either two or four bytes, in twos complement. The TRX and DSP numbers that are being used appear immediately to the left of the EVTI.
5-4 Post On-Line Commissioning Procedures 1 Leave the power to the BTS on. 2 Check that all E1, T1 and power cable connections to the BTS are tight. 3 Close and lock the BTS door. 4 Inform the OMC operator that the BTS is ready for integration testing. 5 Ensure that the BTS site is left in a tidy state. This concludes the commissioning of the BTS. The field technician can now leave the BTS site.
