Integrated BTS Router Preliminary Operations – Introduction
MAY 2004 1X SC480 BTS Hardware Installation, Optimization/ATP, and FRU G-1
PRELIMINARY
Introduction
The information and procedures provided are performed in cases where
the GLI3 load and span parameters need to be verified.
Preliminary Operations
Implementing the Integrated BTS Router (IBR) function requires some
preliminary checks of the GLI3 cards which will be used. This appendix
provides the procedures to accomplish these checks. The checks are:
S Verification that IBR–capable software is installed on GLI3 cards
which will be used for IBR
S Verification that span parameter settings on GLI3 cards match the
requirement for the spans at the BTS where the cards will be installed.
When to Perform the
Verifications
All preliminary verifications provided in this chapter can be performed
at either the BTS site or in a central facility equipped to power–up the
GLI3 cards. Depending on the circumstances of the cards’ use, however,
it may be advantageous in reducing the on–site upgrade time and
logistics to perform some of the verifications prior to installation at the
BTS site. Table G-1 lists card conditions of use and the corresponding
suggested verification locations for the software version and span
parameter settings.
