Copy BTS and CBSC CDF (or NECF) Files to the LMF Computer
Before logging on to a BTS with the LMF 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 LMF 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 LMF computer.
NOTE
– If the LMF 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.
NOTE
When copying CDF or NECF files, comply with the following
to prevent BTS login problems with the Windows LMF:
S 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.
S The generic cbsc–1.cdf file supplied with the Windows LMF
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.
The procedure in Table 3-2 lists the steps required to transfer the CDF
files from the CBSC to the LMF computer. For further information, refer
to the LMF Help function on–line documentation.
Table 3-2: Copying CDF or NECF Files to the LMF Computer
n Step Action
AT THE CBSC:
1 Login to the CBSC workstation.
2 Insert a DOS–formatted floppy diskette in the workstation drive.
3 Type eject –q and press the Enter key.
4 Type mount and press the Enter key.
NOTE
S Look for the “floppy/no_name” message on the last line displayed.
S If the eject command was previously entered, floppy/no_name will be appended with a number.
Use the explicit floppy/no_name reference displayed when performing Step 7.
5 Change to the directory, where the files to be copied reside, by typing cd <directoryname>
(e.g., cd bts–248) and pressing the Enter key.
6 Type ls and press the Enter key to display the list of files in the directory.
