Preliminary Operations: Overview

Introduction

This section first verifies proper frame equipage against the site-specific

documentation supplied for each BTS application.. This includes

verifying module placement, jumper, and dual in-line package (DIP)

switch settings. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are

presented. Finally, power-down and normal power-up procedures are

covered.

Cell-site Types

Sites are configured as 3-sector with one or two carriers. Each type has

unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.

Configuration Data File

The Configuration Data File (CDF), also called Cell-site Data File,

contains site type and equipage data information. The LMF application

program reads data directly from the CDF during optimization. The

number of BTS frames, number and types of BBX and MCC boards, 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 frame.

CAUTION

Always wear an approved anti-static 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 packaging in which it was

shipped.

Initial Installation of Boards/Modules

Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Boards/Modules

Step Action

1 Refer to the site documentation and, if it was not previously done, slide all boards and modules into

the appropriate shelves as required. DO NOT SEAT the boards and modules 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.
