Span Lines – Interface and Isolation
T1/E1 Span Interface
NOTE
At active sites, the OMC/CBSC must disable the BTS and place
it out of service (OOS). DO NOT remove the 50–pin TELCO
cable connected to the BTS frame site I/O board J1 connector
until the OMC/CBSC has disabled the BTS!
Each frame is equipped with one Site I/O and two Span I/O boards. The
Span I/O J1 connector provides connection of 25 pairs of wire. A GLI
card can support up to six spans. In the SC 4812T configuration, the odd
spans (1, 3, and 5) terminate on the Span “A” I/O; and the even spans (2,
4, and 6) terminate on the Span “B” I/O.
Before connecting the LMF to the frame LAN, the OMC/CBSC must
disable the BTS and place it OOS to allow the LMF to control the
CDMA BTS. This prevents the CBSC from inadvertently sending
control information to the CDMA BTS during LMF based tests. Refer to
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 as required.
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Spans
Once the OMC–R/CBSC has disabled the BTS, the spans must be
disabled to ensure the LMF will maintain control of the BTS. To disable
the spans, disconnect the span cable connectors from the Span I/O cards
(see Figure 3-2).
