Logging into a BTS

Logging into a BTS establishes a communications link between the BTS

and the CDMA LMF. You may be logged into one or more BTS’s at a

time, but only one LMF may be logged into each BTS.

Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf file is

used for the BTS. These should be the CDF files that are

provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the

correct CDF files can result in wrong results. Failure to

use the correct CDF files to log into a live (traffic

carrying) site can shut down the site.

IMPORTANT

Before attempting to log into the BTS, confirm the LMF is properly

connected to the BTS (see Figure 3-2). Follow the procedure in

Table 3-9 to log into a BTS.

Prerequisites

Before attempting to login to a BTS, ensure the following have been

completed:

 A bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF file and CBSC file exists.

 The LMF is correctly installed and prepared, and the LMF computer

was connected to the BTS before starting the Windows operating

system and LMF software. If necessary, restart the computer after

connecting it to the BTS (see Table 3-2 and Figure 3-2).
