SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF

DRAFT

Introduction

This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying

module placement, jumper, and dual in–line package (DIP) switch

settings against the site-specific documentation supplied for each BTS

application. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are

presented.

Cellsite Types

Sites are configured as with a maximum of 4 carriers, 3–sectored with a

maximum of 4 carriers, and 6–sectored with a maximum of 2 carriers.

Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.

CDF

The Cell-site Data File (CDF) contains site type and equipage data

information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The

number of modem frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX2 and

MCC24E/MCC8E boards (per cage), and linear power amplifier

assignments are some of the equipage data included in the CDF.

Site Equipage Verification

Review the site documentation. Match the site engineering equipage data

to the actual boards and modules shipped to the site. Physically inspect

and verify the equipment provided for the BTS or Modem frame and

ancillary equipment frame.

Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap

while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage

by ESD. After removal, the card/module should be placed

on a conductive surface or back into the anti–static bag it

was shipped in.

CAUTION

Initial Installation of

Boards/Modules

Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Boards/Modules

Step Action

1 Refer to the site documentation and install all boards and modules into the appropriate shelves as

required. Verify they are NOT SEATED at this time.

2 As the actual site hardware is installed, record the serial number of each module on a “Serial Number

Checklist” in the site logbook.
