Setting Cable Loss Values
Cable loss values for TX and RX test cable configurations are normally
set by accomplishing automatic cable calibration using the LMF and the
applicable test equipment. The LMF stores the measured loss values in
the cable loss files. The cable loss values can also be set or changed
manually.
CAUTION
If cable calibration was performed without using the LMF, cable
loss values must be manually entered in the LMF database.
Failure to do this will result in inaccurate BTS calibration and
reduced site performance.
Prerequisites
LMF is logged into the BTS
