PRELIMINARY

Copy BTS CDF (or NECF) and

CBSC CDF Files to the WinLMF

Computer

Before logging on to a BTS with the WinLMF computer to execute

optimization/ATP procedures, the correct bts-#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and

cbsc-#.cdf files must be obtained from the CBSC and put in a bts-#

folder in the WinLMF computer. This requires creating versions of the

CBSC CDF files on a DOS–formatted floppy diskette and using the

diskette to install the CDF files on the WinLMF computer.

If the WinLMF has ftp capability, the ftp method can be

used to copy the CDF or NECF files from the CBSC.

On Sun OS workstations, the unix2dos command can be

used in place of the cp command (e.g., unix2dos

bts–248.cdf bts–248.cdf). This should be done using a

copy of the CBSC CDF file so the original CBSC CDF file

is not changed to DOS format.

When copying CDF or NECF files, comply with the

following to prevent BTS login problems with the

Windows WinLMF:

– The numbers used in the bts-#.cdf (or bts–#.necf)

and cbsc-#.cdf filenames must correspond to the

locally-assigned numbers for each BTS and its

controlling CBSC.

– The generic cbsc–1.cdf file supplied with the

Windows WinLMF will work with locally numbered

BTS CDF files. Using this file will not provide a

valid optimization unless the generic file is edited to

replace default parameters (e.g., channel numbers)

with the operational parameters used locally.

NOTE

The procedure in Table 6-3 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF

files from the CBSC to the WinLMF computer. For further information,

refer to the WinLMF Help function on–line documentation.
