Preliminary Operations: Overview
FEB 2005 1X SC 4812T Lite BTS Optimization/ATP 2-1
PRELIMINARY
Introduction
This section first verifies proper Frame Equipage against the
Site–specific Documentation supplied for each BTS Application. This
includes verifying Card/Module Placement, Jumper, and dual in–line
package (DIP) Backplane Configuration Switch Settings. Next,
pre-Power–up and initial power-up procedures are presented. Finally,
power–down and normal Power–up procedures are covered.
Cell Site Types
Sites are configured as Omni or up to 3–Sectors – one or two carriers.
Each type has unique characteristics and must be optimized accordingly.
CDF/NECF
The Configuration Data File (CDF) or Network Element Configuration
File (NECF) contains site type and Equipage data information and
passes it directly to the LMF during Optimization. The number of
modem frames, number and types of BBX and MCC boards, and linear
Power Amplifier assignments are some of the Equipage data included in
the CDF/NECF.
Ensure that the correct bts–#.cdf (or bts–#.necf) and
cbsc–#.CDF Files 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 cause
system errors.
Failure to use the correct CDF/NECF Files to log into
a live (traffic carrying) site can shut down the site.
IMPORTANT
*
Site Equipage Verification
Review the Site Documentation. Match the Site Engineering Equipage
Data to the actual cards, boards, and modules shipped to the site.
Physically inspect and verify that the equipment provided for the frame
is correct and undamaged.
Always wear an approved Anti–static Wrist Strap while
handling any circuit card/module to prevent damage by
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
After removal, the card/module should be placed on a
conductive surface or back into the anti–static packaging
in which it was shipped.
