SC 4812ETL BTS Optimization/ATP
PRELIMINARY
Introduction
This section first verifies proper frame equipage. This includes verifying
module placement, jumper, and dual in–line package (DIP) switch
settings against the site-specific documentation supplied for each BTS
application. Next, pre-power up and initial power-up procedures are
presented.
Cellsite Types
Sites are configured as 3–sectored with one or two carriers. Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
CDF
The Cell-site Data File (CDF) contains site type and equipage data
information and passes it directly to the LMF during optimization. The
number of BTS frames, BBX2 and MCC24 boards, and linear power
amplifier assignments are some of the equipage data included in the
CDF.
Site Equipage Verification
Review the site documentation. Match the site engineering equipage data
to the actual boards and modules shipped to the site. Physically inspect
and verify the equipment provided for the BTS or Modem frame and
ancillary equipment frame.
Always wear a conductive, high impedance wrist strap
while handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage
by ESD. After removal, the card/module should be placed
on a conductive surface or back into the anti–static bag it
was shipped in.

Table 2-1: Initial Installation of Boards/Modules
Step Action
1 Refer to the site documentation and slide all boards and modules into the appropriate shelves as
required. DO NOT SEAT the boards and modules at this time.
2 As the actual site hardware is installed, record the serial number of each module on a “Serial Number
Checklist” in the site logbook.
