Abbreviated (All–inclusive) Acceptance Tests – continued
PRELIMINARY
1X SC480 BTS Hardware Installation, Optimization/ATP, and FRU
MAY 2004
7-6
All TX/RX ATP Test
Follow the procedures in Table 7-2 to perform the abbreviated,
all–inclusive transmit and receive test.
Table 7-2: All TX/RX ATP Test Procedure
Step Action
1 Set up the test equipment initially for abbreviated tests as described in Table 7-1.
* IMPORTANT
If the LMF has been logged into the BTS with a different Multi–Channel Preselector setting than the
one to be used for this test, the LMF must be logged out of the BTS and logged in again with the new
Multi–Channel Preselector setting. Using the wrong MPC setting can cause a false test failure.
2 Select the BBXs and MCCs to be tested.
3 Click on Tests in the BTS menu bar, and select All TX/RX ATP... from the pull–down menu.
4
Select the appropriate carrier(s) and sector(s) (carrier-bts#-sector#-carrier#) from those displayed in the
Channels/Carrier pick list.
NOTE
To select multiple items, hold down the Shift or Ctrl key while clicking on pick list items to select
multiple carrier(s)–sector(s).
5
Verify that the correct channel number for the selected carrier is shown in the Carrier # Channels
box.
– If it is not, obtain the latest bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files from the CBSC.
NOTE
If necessary, the correct channel number may be manually entered into the Carrier # Channels box.
6
* IMPORTANT
If a companion frame with the inter–frame diversity RX cabling disconnected is being tested do not
select BOTH in this step. The RX main and diversity paths must be tested separately for this
configuration because each requires a different Multi–Coupler Preselector type to provide the proper
test signal gain.
Select the appropriate RX branch (BOTH, MAIN, or DIVersity) in the drop–down list.
7
In the Rate Set box, select the appropriate data rate (1=9600, 2=14400, 3=9600 1X) from the
drop–down list.
NOTE
The Rate Set selection of 3 is only available if 1X cards are selected for the test.
8 In the Test Pattern box, select the test pattern to use for the acceptance tests from the drop–down list
(refer to “Test Pattern Drop–down Pick List” under “TX Calibration and the LMF” in the Bay Level
Offset Calibration section of Chapter 6.
9 Click OK to display a status bar followed by a Directions pop-up window.
10 Follow cable connection directions as they are displayed, and click the Continue button to begin
testing.
– As the ATP process is completed, results will be displayed in the status report window.
