Automated Acceptance Test Procedures – All–inclusive TX & RX

SC 4812T CDMA BTS Optimization/ATP
Introduction
The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Cellular Field
Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all equipped BTS
subsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) and
supported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File (CDF)
assignment.
The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to a
file that can be printed. All tests are controlled from the LMF platform
using the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipment
supported by the LMF can be used.
Before performing any tests, use an editor to view the
“CAVEATS” section of the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf
folder for any applicable information.
The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service (OOS)
sectors only.
DO NOT substitute test equipment not supported by the
LMF.
IMPORTANT
*
Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on test set
connections for calibrating equipment, cables and other test
set components, if required.
NOTE
Customer requirements determine which ATP tests to are to be
performed and the craftsperson selects the appropriate ATP tests to run.
The tests can be run individually or as one of the following groups:
 All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit line up.
These include the GLI, MCC, BBX2, and CIO cards, the LPAs and
passive components including splitters, combiners, bandpass filter,
and RF cables.
 All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receiver line up.
These includes the MPC (for starter frames), EMPC (for expansion
frames), CIO, BBX2, MCC, and GLI cards and the passive
components including RX filter (starter frame only), and RF cables.
 All TX/RX: Executes all the TX and RX tests.
 Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads the BLO,
and executes the TX audit before running all of the TX and RX tests.
