Test Equipment Guidelines
To ensure consistent, reliable, and repeatable optimization test results,
test equipment meeting the following technical criteria should be used to
optimize the BTS equipment. You can, of course, substitute test
equipment with other test equipment models supported by the LMF
meeting the same technical specifications.
NOTE
During manual testing, you can substitute test equipment with
other test equipment models not supported by the LMF, but
those models must meet the same technical specifications.
The customer has the responsibility of accounting for any measurement
variances and/or additional losses/inaccuracies that can be introduced
as a result of these substitutions. Before beginning optimization or
troubleshooting, make sure that the test equipment needed is on hand
and operating properly.
Test Equipment Calibration
Optimum system performance and capacity depend on regular equipment
service, calibration, and characterization prior to BTS optimization.
Follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended
maintenance and calibration schedules closely.
