SC4812ET BTS Optimization/ATP — CDMA LMF
Introduction
This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
module placement, jumper, and dual in–line package (DIP) switch
settings against the site-specific documentation supplied for each BTS
application. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are
presented.
Cellsite Types
Sites are configured as with a maximum of 4 carriers, 3–sectored with a
maximum of 4 carriers, and 6–sectored with a maximum of 2 carriers.
Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
CDF
The Cell-site Data File (CDF) contains site type and equipage data
information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The
number of modem frames, C–CCP shelves, BBX and MCC boards (per
cage), 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 BTS or Modem frame and
ancillary equipment frame.
Always wear a conductive, high impedance 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 bag it
was shipped in.
CAUTION
Initial Installation of
Boards/Modules
Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Boards/Modules
Step Action
1 Refer to the site documentation and install all boards and modules into the appropriate shelves as
required. Verify they are NOT SEATED 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.
