94 WAVEXpress/BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide
Step 1
Provide the OMC operator with all part, revision and serial numbers for the WAVEXpress /BTS cards
and modules. This information was gathered during the physical installation and is available in Check-
list #1 of the Appendix.
Step 2
Power off the BTS.
Step 3
Power on the BTS. Monitor the LED sequence of the BTS.
Step 4
At the BTS, disconnect both T1 cables. Monitor the LED sequence of the BTS as described in
Chapter 4.
Step 5
Reconnect both T1 cables to the BTS’ dual port T1 card. Monitor the LED sequence of the BTS as
described in Chapter 4.
Step 6
Text external alarms as per the following procedures:
Test #1
1. Open the door of the BTS.
2. After a certain delay, the OMC operator must observe an NMI event.
3. Close the door.
4. After a certain delay, the alarm state changes from open to closed.
Test #2
1. If the first external alarm is used, close the alarm relay (i.e. trigger the first customer-
defined alarm).
2. After a certain delay, the OMC operator must observe an NMI event.
3. Close the alarm relay by opening the alarm contact.
4. After a certain delay, the alarm state changes from open to closed.
Test #3
1. If the second external alarm is used, close the alarm relay (i.e. trigger the second customer-
defined alarm).
2. After a certain delay, the OMC operator must observe an NMI event.
3. Close the alarm relay by opening the alarm contact.
4. After a certain delay, the alarm state changes from open to closed.
Step 7
At the BTS site, the commissioner should set the module handset in use into its debug mode. Refer to
the documentation provided by the module handset manufacturer for the proper procedures. Examine
the display of the handset in order to verify that the timeslot being used corresponds to the timeslot
that was unlocked on the BTS by the OMC operator. Place a mobile-to-mobile call using the handset
and the TRX under test. Verify that a two way call can be made on this timeslot with good audio quality,
power and low interference. End the call.
