Introduction

The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Motorola

Cellular Field Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all

equipped BTS subsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility

(LMF) and supported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File

(CDF) assignment.

The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to a

file that can be printed. All tests are controlled via the LMF platform

using the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipment

supported by the LMF can be used.

This chapter describes the tests run from the GUI environment, which is

the recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages of

simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeying

commmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the execution

of complex operations involving multiple command strings. If you feel

the command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into the

progress of ATPs and problems that could possibly be encountered, refer

to LMF CLI Commands.

Before using the LMF, use an editor to view the

”CAVEATS” section in the ”readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf

folder for any applicable information.

The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service sectors

only.

DO NOT substitute test equipment with other models not

supported by the LMF.
