S Select all of the BBXs and all of the MCCs and use the full
optimization function. The full optimization function performs TX
calibration, BLO download, TX audit, all TX tests, and all RX tests
for all selected devices.
S If the TX calibration fails, repeat the full optimization for any failed
paths.
S If the TX calibration fails again, correct the problem that caused the
failure and repeat the full optimization for the failed path.
S If the TX calibration and audit portion of the full optimization passes
for a path but some of the TX or RX tests fail, correct the problem that
caused the failure and run the individual tests as required until all TX
and RX tests have passed for all paths.
Cell Site Types
Sites are configured as Omni/Omni or Sector/Sector (TX/RX). Each type
has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
Cell Site Data File (CDF)
Before using the CDMA LMF for optimization/ATP, the
correct bts–#.cdf and cbsc–#.cdf files for the BTS must be
obtained from the CBSC and put in a bts–# folder in the
LMF. Failure to use the correct CDF files can cause
unreliable or improper site operation. Failure to use the
correct CDF files to log into a live (traffic carrying) site
can shut down the site.
IMPORTANT
*
The CDF includes the following information:
S Download instructions and protocol
S Site specific equipage information
S SCCP shelf allocation plan
– BBX2 equipage (based on cell–site type) including redundancy
– CSM equipage including redundancy
– Multi Channel Card 24 or 8E (MCC24 or MCC8E) channel element
allocation plan. This plan indicates how the SCCP shelf is
configured, and how the paging, synchronization, traffic, and access
channel elements (and associated gain values) are assigned among
the (up to 4) MCC24s or MCC8Es in the shelf.
S CSM equipage including redundancy
S Effective Rated Power (ERP) table for all TX channels to antennas
respectively. Motorola System Engineering specifies the ERP of a
transmit antenna based on site geography, antenna placement, and
government regulations. Working from this ERP requirement, the
antenna gain, (dependent on the units of measurement specified) and
