Logging into a BTS

Logging into a BTS establishes a communication link between the BTS

and the LMF. An LMF session can be logged into only one BTS at a

time.

Prerequisites

Before attempting to log into a BTS, ensure the following have been

completed:

S The LMF is correctly installed on the LMF computer.

S A bts-nnn folder with the correct CDF/NECF and CBSC files exists.

S The LMF computer was connected to the BTS before starting the

Windows operating system and the LMF software. If necessary, restart

the computer after connecting it to the BTS in accordance with

Table 3-5 and Figure 3-3.

CAUTION

Be sure that the correct bts–#.cdf/necf and cbsc–#.cdf file are

used for the BTS. These should be the CDF/NECF files that are

provided for the BTS by the CBSC. Failure to use the correct

CDF/NECF files can result in invalid optimization. Failure to

use the correct CDF/NECF files to log into a live

(traffic–carrying) site can shut down the site.

BTS Login from the GUI Environment

Follow the procedure in Table 3-6 to log into a BTS when using the GUI

environment.
