Equipment Overview
The SC4812ETL BTS consists of a single, outdoor, weatherized cabinet
containing RF and power components. The BTS is functionally similar
to the two–cabinet SC4812ET, but provides more flexibility in site
selection because of its smaller footprint and lighter weight. The BTS is
powered by 220 Vac, rectified internally to +27 Vdc, and can support
two carriers in a 3–sector configuration. An SC4812ETL starter frame
with the maximum of one SC4812ETL expansion frame can support 4
carriers in a 3–sector configuration. Six– sector operation is not
supported with any SC4812ETL configuration.
The BTS cabinet houses the fan modules, RF compartment heat
exchanger, Simplified CDMA Channel Processor shelf (S–CCP), RF
Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) modules, LPA trunking modules,
bandpass filters, 2:1 combiners, and Duplexer/Receive Filter/Directional
Couplers (DRDC). Power components include a +27 Vdc Power
Distribution Assembly (PDA), backup batteries, battery heaters,
rectifiers, an AC Load Center (ACLC), and one duplex GFCI 115 Vac
utility outlet.
Logical BTS
A logical BTS can consist of up to two SC4812ETL frames. When the
LMF is connected to frame 1 of a logical BTS, access is available to all
devices in all of the frames that make up the logical BTS. A logical BTS
CDF file that includes equippage information for all of the logical BTS
frames and their devices is required. A CBSC file that includes channel
data for all of the logical BTS frames is also required.
The first frame of a logical BTS has a –1 suffix (e.g., BTS–812–1) and
the second frame of the logical BTS is numbered with the suffix, –101
(e. g. BTS–812–101). When the CDMA LMF is logged 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 logical BTS has more than one frame, there will be a
separate FRAME tab for each frame (e.g. FRAME–438–1, and
FRAME–438–101 for BTS–438 that has both 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 logical BTS. Refer to the Select devices help screen for
information on how to select devices.
SCCP Shelf Card/Module Device ID Numbers
All cards/modules/boards in the frames at a single site, assigned to a
single BTS number, are also identified with unique Device ID numbers
dependent upon the Frame ID number in which they are located. Refer to
Table 1-2, Table 1-3, and Figure 1-4 for specific SCCP Shelf Device ID
numbers.
