Logical BTS
The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability, also known as
virtual BTS. Previously, all BTS frames co–located at a single site had to
be identified in the network with separate and distinct BTS ID numbers.
In the Logical BTS feature, all frames located at a single BTS site are
identified with unique Frame ID numbers (Frame ID Numbers 1, 101,
201, 301) under a single (site) BTS ID number. A logical BTS can
consist of up to four SC 4812T frames.When the LMF is connected to
frame 1 of a logical BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames
that make up the logical BTS. A logical BTS requires a CDF file that
includes equipage information for all of the logical BTS frames and their
devices and a CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the logical
BTS fames.
