Update BTS Specific CDF File Device

Load Version and Site Type

Follow the steps outlined in Table 3-12 to update the existing BTS

specific CDF file NextLoad parameter, to reflect the current device load

version to be downloaded and verify the correct Site Type. (This is an

interim procedure and is subject to change).

Device load version in the CDF file must match the current

version loaded at the OMCR/CBSC.

CAUTION

Table 3-12: Update BTS Specific CDF File Device Load Version

Step Action

! CAUTION

If you are not familiar with the UNIX vi editor, create a “dummy” CDF file, and practice making

changes to it, prior to altering the “real” one.

* IMPORTANT

CDF files obtained from the OMCR.CBSC are modified by DELTA information being appended to

the end of the CDF file. The information in the DELTA fields take precedence over information in the

“core CDF file” For example: If NextLoad=‘‘1.2.3.4.5” for BBX 1 was specified in the CDF file, and

there was a DELTA entry specifying NextLoad=‘‘2.3.4.5.6” appended to the CDF file for the same

BBX, 2.3.4.5.6 would be the version used.

There are two ways resolve this. Edit both the DELTA and “core” areas of the file to reflect the same

version, or make sure the delta information is transferred to the main CDF file and delete all DELTA

CDF file entries.

1 Globally change the device load version number in the new CDF file using the following UNIX

commands:

vi bts–new_<bts#>.cdf

:1,$ s/x.x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y.y

Where: x.x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y.y represent the old and new version number, respectively.

:wq

NOTE

You should now be able to download all devices at the BTS with the current device load version.

2 Verify the SiteType and SSType entries in the CDF file (under the BTS subheading) reflect the

following information. See example of applicable fields of CDF file below.

(CDMA only; 1900 MHz example shown):

BTS[#] = {

....,

SiteType=3,

SSType=16

...

Valid SiteTypes (SC9600=1, SC9600(Mixed)=2, SC2400=3, SC2400(Mixed)=4, SC600=5)

Valid SSTypes (CDMA800MHz=8, CDMA1900MHz=16, CDMA900MHz=32)
