Preliminary Operations: Overview
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.
Cell Site Types
Sites are configured as Omni 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. For more information on the differences in site types, please
refer to the BTS/Modem Frame Hardware Installation manual.
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, BBX boards, MCC boards
(per cage), and linear power amplifier assignments are some of the
equipage data included in the CDF.
NOTE
Be sure that the correct bts-#.cdf and cbsc-#.cdf files are 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
cause system errors. Failure to use the correct CDF files to log
into a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
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.
CAUTION
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 shipping bag.
