PRELIMINARY

Introduction

The automated Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) allows Cellular Field

Engineers (CFEs) to run automated acceptance tests on all equipped BTS

subsystem devices using the CDMA LMF GUI environment and

supported test equipment.

The operator can choose to save the results of these tests to a report file,

from which ATP reports are generated for later printout.

Perform the ATP test on out-of-service sectors or sites only. Because all

tests are controlled via the CDMA LMF computer using the GPIB

interface from the CDMA LMF computer, only recommended test

equipment supported by the CDMA LMF can be used.

Before using the LMF, use an editor to view the

”CAVEATS” section in the ”readme.txt” file in the c:\wlmf

folder for any applicable information.

IMPORTANT

The ATP test is to be performed on out-of-service sectors

only.

DO NOT substitute test equipment with other models not

supported by the LMF.

IMPORTANT

Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on test set

connections for calibrating equipment, cables and other test

set components, if required.

NOTE

The CFE selects the appropriate ATP tests to run to satisfy customer and

regulatory requirements for verifying cell site performance. These tests

can be run individually or as one of the following groups:

S All TX: TX tests verify the performance of the BTS transmit

elements. These include the GLI2, MCC, BBX2, BDC, and trunking

modules, the LPAs, and passive components including splitters,

combiners, bandpass filter(s), and RF cables.

S All RX: RX tests verify the performance of the BTS receive elements.

These include the MPC (for starter frames), , BBX2, MCC, and GLI2

modules, and the passive components including RX filter (starter

frame only), and RF cables.

S All TX/RX: Executes all TX and RX tests.

S Full Optimization: Executes the TX calibration, downloads BLO,

and executes the TX audit before running all TX and RX tests.
