Automated Acceptance Test Procedures

Introduction

The Automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Cellular Field

Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all equipped BTS

subsystem devices using the Local Maintenance Facility (LMF) and

supported test equipment per the current Cell Site Data File (CDF)

assignment.

The results of these tests (at the option of the operator) are written to a

file that can be printed. All tests are controlled from the LMF platform

using the GPIB interface, therefore, only recommended test equipment

supported by the LMF can be used.

This chapter describes the tests run from the GUI environment, which is

the recommended method. The GUI provides the advantages of

simplifying the LMF user interface, reducing the potential for miskeying

commmands and associated parameters, and speeding up the execution

of complex operations involving multiple command strings. If you feel

the command line interface (CLI) will provide additional insight into the

progress of ATPs and problems that could possibly be encountered, refer

to LMF CLI Commands.

NOTE

– Before performing any tests, use an editor to view the

“Caveats” section of the “readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf

folder for any applicable information.

– The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service (OOS)

sectors only.

– DO NOT substitute test equipment not supported by the

LMF.

Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed interconnection information needed for

calibrating equipment, cables, and other test equipment set components.
