DRAFT

S Unlike the CDF file, the NEC files will reside on both OMC–R and

GLI3s operating in packet mode. The NEC files will be synchronized

periodically between the OMC–R and GLI3s in each BTS.

S Both the NECB and NECJ files contain a “SoftwareVersion” field in

their header section indicating the system release version of these

files.

S Instead of the bts–#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses

NECB*bts#.xml and NECJ*bts#.xml files, which are copies of the

NEC files.

S A GLI3 operating in packet mode will need the NECB and NECJ files

for site initialization.

S The scope of the NEC files has grown much broader than that of the

CDF and has much more BTS–centric information. This is principally

because the role of the GLI card has expanded significantly with the

introduction of the GLI3 card and packet backhaul.

CAUTION

Never use a generic NEC file. The specific, site–unique

information for the BTS must be included in the NEC file for the

site to operate properly.

LMF File Structure Overview

The LMF uses a <x>:\lmf home directory> folder that contains all of the

essential data for installing and maintaining the BTS. The following list

outlines the folder structure for LMF. Except for the bts–# folders, these

folders are created as part of the the LMF installation. Refer to the

CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide for a complete description of the folder

structure.
