Using the LMF
Basic LMF Operation
LMF Coverage in This Publication - The LMF application program
supports maintenance of both CDMA and SAS BTSs. All references to
the LMF in this publication are to the CDMA portion of the program.
Operating Environments - The LMF application program allows the
user to work in the two following operating environments which are
accessed using the specified desktop icons:
Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CDMA CLI icon
The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.
Basic Operation - Basic operation of the LMF in either environment
includes performing the following:
Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
Enabling devices
Disabling devices
Resetting devices
Obtaining device status
The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:
Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the LMF Help function on-line documentation.
NOTE
Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual are
performed using the GUI environment.
The LMF Display and the BTS
BTS Display - When the LMF is logged into a BTS, a frame tab is
displayed for each RF modem frame (RFMF). For SC4812-series BTSs,
the BTS frames are considered the RFMFs. The frame tab will be
labeled with “CDMA” and the BTS number, a dash, and the frame
number (for example, BTS-812-1 for BTS 812, RFMF 1). If, as with a
single-frame SC4812ET Lite, there is only one frame for the BTS, there
will only be one tab.
CDF Requirements - For the LMF to recognize the devices installed in
the BTS, a BTS CDF file which includes equipage information for all
the devices in the BTS must be located in the applicable <x>:\<lmf
home directory>\cdma\bts-# folder. To provide the necessary channel
assignment data for BTS operation, a CBSC CDF file which includes
channel data for all BTS RFMFs is also required in the folder.
