PRELIMINARY
Basic CDMA LMF Operation
The CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operating
environments which are accessed using the specified desktop icons:
S Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
S Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon
The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.
Basic operation of the CDMA LMF in either environment includes
performing the following:
S Selecting and Deselecting BTS devices
S Enabling devices
S Disabling devices
S Resetting devices
S Obtaining device status
The following additional basic operation can be performed in a GUI
environment:
S Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other CDMA LMF
operations, refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide – 68P64114A21.
Unless otherwise noted, LMF procedures in this manual
are performed using the GUI environment.
IMPORTANT
*
Logging Into a BTS
Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf file is
used for the BTS. These should be the CDF files that are
provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the
correct CDF files can result in invalid optimization.
Failure to use the correct CDF files to log into a live
(traffic–carrying) site can shut down the site.
WARNING
Logging into a BTS establishes a communications link between the BTS
and the CDMA LMF. You may be logged into one or more BTSs at a
time, but only one CDMA LMF may be logged into each BTS.
Before attempting to start the CDMA LMF computer and the CDMA
LMF software, confirm the CDMA LMF computer is properly connected
