7-1.2 Prerequisites for Network Integration
In order to integrate the BTS in a pre-existing network, several procedures must be followed at the OMC. These
procedures include:
• Creating a planned cell in the OMC's database that corresponds to the BTS physically installed.
This planned cell must be identified by the appropriate Cell ID and Location Area Code (LAC) for
the installed BTS. Optional information about which templates apply to the installed BTS can also
be defined at this stage.
• Defining neighbor relationships for this planned cell.
• Creating a managed cell from the planned cell.
• Setting BTS parameters which include defining its base station identity code.
• Setting Abis parameters. This involves defining which BSC's T1 card and slot number is con-
nected to which BTS and defining which T1 channel of the T1 link is dedicated to signaling (The
default timelsot is 16).
• Defining which TRX of the BTS is the beacon TRX and assigning ARFCN for each TRX.
• In the case of a daisy chained BTS, setting the “T1 use type”, “previous BTS node”, “next BTS
node” in the BTS Manager view, and the “T1 Chan” as the Abis channel in the Abis Manager
view as described in the chapter “Configuring Network Elements” of the WAVEView Operations
and Maintenance Guide.
Procedures on how to perform these tasks are outlined in the section “Network Configuration” of the WAVEView
Operations and Maintenance Guide.
