Off-Line Commissioning
4-1 Pre Off-Line Commissioning Checks
The off-line commissioning of the BTS can take place either off-site at a staging area prior to installation or on-site after
its installation depending on the operator's preference. These tests are optional procedures used to:
• Verify that the BTS has not been accidentally damaged during shipment or installation
• Verify that the BTS is properly working in its final environment.
The off-line commissioning process is split into two consecutive steps:
Step 1
Pre-commissioning visual checks, where the field technician verifies that the BTS is in an appropriate
working state for off-line commissioning.
Step 2
Off-line commissioning, where the BTS proper operation is verified in a stand-alone mode via the Craft
PC and the appropriate test equipment.
4-1.1 Pre Off-Line Commissioning Visual Checks
Off-line commissioning activity will only begin after the following checks have been made. Utilize the appropriate list
depending on where the off-line commissioning is being performed.
