Downloading ROM Code with the LMF

J-1

SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF

Exception Procedure –

Downloading ROM Code

This procedure is not part of a normal optimization.

Perform this procedure only on an exception basis when no alternative

exists to load a BTS device with the correct version of ROM code.

One GLI must be INS_ACT (bright green) before ROM

code can be downloaded to non–GLI devices.

NOTE

The correct ROM and RAM codes for the software release

used on the BSS must be loaded into BTS devices. To

identify the correct device ROM and RAM code loads for

the software release being used on the BSS, refer to the

Version Matrix section of the SC CDMA Release Notes

(supplied on the tape or CD–ROM containing the BSS

software).

All devices in a BTS must be loaded with the ROM and

RAM code specified for the software release used on the

BSS before any optimization or ATP procedures can be

performed.

If a replacement device is loaded with ROM code which is

not compatible with the BSS software release being used,

the device ROM code can be changed using the LMF

before performing the BTS optimization and ATPs. A

device loaded with later release ROM code can not be

converted back to a previous release ROM code in the field

without Motorola assistance

CAUTION

If it is necessary to download ROM code to a device from the LMF, the

procedure in Table J-1 includes steps for both ROM and RAM code

download using the LMF.

Prerequisites

Prior to performing this procedure, ensure the correct ROM and RAM

code files exist in the LMF computer’s applicable <x>:\<lmf home

directory>\cdma\loads\<codeload#>\code folder for each of the devices

to be loaded.
