Operating the LMF
Basic Operation
NOTE
The terms “CDMA LMF” and “WinLMF” are interchangeable
The CDMA LMF allows the user to work in the two following operating
environments which are accessed using the specified desktop icon:
Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the WinLMF icon
Command Line Interface (CLI) using the WinLMF CLI icon
The GUI is the primary optimization and acceptance testing operating
environment. The CLI environment provides additional capability to the
user to perform manually controlled acceptance tests and audit the
results of optimization and calibration actions.
Basic operation of the LMF GUI includes the following:
Selecting and deselecting BTS devices
Enabling devices
Disabling devices
Resetting devices
Obtaining device status
Sorting a status report window
For detailed information on performing these and other LMF operations,
refer to the CDMA LMF Operator’s Guide, 68P64114A78.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the handler. Only one
handler can be running at one time. The architectural design is such that
the GUI must be started before the CLI if you want the GUI and CLI to
use the same handler.
When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI automatically finds and
uses an in-progress login session with a BTS initiated under the GUI.
This allows the use of the GUI and the CLI in the same BTS login
session.
If a CLI handler is already running when the GUI is launched (this
happens if the CLI window is already running when the user starts the
GUI, or if another copy of the GUI is already running when the user
starts the GUI), a dialog window displays the following warning
message:
The CLI handler is already running.
This may cause conflicts with the LMF.
Are you sure that you want to start the application?
This window also contains yes and no buttons. Selecting yes starts the
application. Selecting no terminates the application.
