BTS Equipment Identification
Equipment Overview
The 1X SCt4812T–Lite BTS frame consists of a single cabinet
containing RF and power amplifier components. The BTS may be
powered powered by:
S 220 Vac (rectified internally to +27 Vdc)
S –48 Vdc (power converted internally to +27Vdc)
S +27 Vdc
Each frame can support up to two carriers in a 3–sector configuration.
Six–sector operation is not supported with any SC4812T Lite
configuration.
Figure 1-2 illustrates the external features of the BTS frame, the single
major component of the Motorola SC4812T Lite. The frame cabinet is
identical for starter and expansion frames except for the I/O interconnect
plate.
Frame Configurations
The SC4812T Lite is available in starter and expansion frame
configurations. Following are brief descriptions of each.
Starter frame configuration supports one or two carriers, each with
separate antenna sets. It can operate as a stand–alone BTS, or can be
modified in the field to the expansion frame configuration.
Expansion Frame configuration supports one or two carriers using 2:1
TX combiners and a single antenna set for the frame. It operates with an
SC4812T Lite starter frame which has its own antennas and different
carriers. Expansion frames share RX signals to provide diversity RX for
the opposite frame. Expansion frames allow equipping a single SC4812T
Lite site with up to four carriers.
Logical BTS
The BTS software implements the logical BTS capability. Previously, all
BTS frames co–located at a single site had to be identified in the
network with separate and distinct BTS ID numbers. In the Logical BTS
feature, all frames located at a single BTS site are identified with unique
Frame ID numbers (Frame ID Numbers 1, 101, 201, 301) under a single
(site) BTS ID number. A logical BTS can consist of up to four
SC 4812T frames.When the LMF is connected to frame 1 of a logical
BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames that make up the
logical BTS. A logical BTS requires a CDF/NECF file that includes
equipage information for all of the logical BTS frames and their devices
and a CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the logical BTS
frames.
