Graphical User Interface

Overview

This section provides overview information on using the LMF graphical

user interface (GUI). The GUI works as follows:

 Select the device or devices to perform an action on.

 Select the action to apply to the selected device(s).

 While action is in progress, a status report window displays the action

taking place and other status information.

 The status report window indicates when the the action is complete,

along with other pertinent information displayed.

 Clicking the OK button closes the status report window.

The R9 BTS software release implements the virtual BTS capability,

also known as Logical BTS. A virtual BTS can consist of up to four

four SC 4812ET frames. When the LMF is connected to frame 1 of a

virtual BTS, you can access all devices in all of the frames that make up

the virtual BTS A virtual BTS CDF file that includes equippage

information for all of the virtual BTS frames and their devices is

required. A CBSC file that includes channel data for all of the virtual

BTS fames is also required. The first frame of a virtual BTS has a –1

suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and other frames of the virtual BTS are

numbered with suffixed, –101, –201, and –301 (e. g. BTS–812–201).

When you log into a BTS a FRAME tab is displayed for each frame. If

there is only one frame for the BTS, there will only be one tab (e.g.,

FRAME–282–1) for BTS–282. If a virtual BTS has more than one

frame, there will be a separate FRAME tab for each frame (e.g.

FRAME–438–1, FRAME–438–101, and FRAME–438–202 for a

BTS–438 that has all three frames). If an RFDS is included in the CDF

file, an RFDS tab (e.g., RFDS–438–1) will be displayed.

Actions (e.g., ATP tests) can be initiated for selected devices in one or

more, frames of a virtual BTS. Refer to the Select devices help screen

for information on how to select devices.

Following are visual examples of the BTS tabs for a single–frame BTS

with RFDS and a four–frame BTS with RFDS.
