6-1
Introduction
This section first verifies proper frame equipage against the site-specific
documentation supplied for each BTS application.
Cicruit Backhaul Operation
If circuit backhaul operation is being used, perform the procedures
described in this chapter. Refer to the LMF Help, if further information
is needed.
Packet Backhaul Operation
If packet backhaul configuration is being used, perform the procedures
described in Appendix I.
Peform the IBR procedures described in Appendix G and Appendix H if
GLI3 data load and span parameters need to be verified.
Cell–site Types
The site is configured as Omni with one carrier. The BTS can handle two
carriers.
CDF/NECF
The Configuration Data File (CDF) or Network Element Configuration
File (NECF) contains information that defines the BTS and data used to
download files to the devices. The BTS CDF (bts–#.cdf) and CBSC
CDF (cbsc–#.cdf) files are used by circuit BTSs. The NEC Base
(NECB – NECB*bts#.xml ) and NEC Journaling (NECJ–
NECJ*bts#.xml ) files are used by packet BTSs. CDF or NEC files
must be placed in the applicable BTS folder before the LMF can be used
to log into that BTS. CDF and NEC files are normally obtained from the
CBSC using a floppy disk. A file transfer protocol (ftp) method can be
used if the LMF computer has that capability.
The CDF and NEC files include the following information:
S Download instructions and protocol
S Site specific equipage information
S CCP2 Shelf allocation plan
– BBX equipage
– CSA equipage
– MCC–1X (16, 24,32, 64) channel element allocation plan. This plan
indicates how the CCP2 shelf is configured, and how paging,
synchronization, traffic, and access channel elements (and
associated gain values) are assigned among the (up to 3) MCC–1Xs
in the shelf.
S CSA equipage
