Note

4. Check that you have the required Site IDs and transmission capacity tables,

or that the correct Site Configuration File (SCF) exists on the PC hard disk.

The Site Configuration File is an unformatted ASCII file which contains site

parameters for several sites under a BSC. The file is created from the NMS/2000

database and it can be retrieved to the Manager PC via a Web server interface to

the NMS/2000 (refer to NMS/2000 documentation). During the commissioning

procedure, the parameters for the selected site are automatically read from the

file.

The file can be modified locally using the SCF Editor, which is delivered on the

Nokia BTS Manager CD-ROM. For details on how to install the editor, refer to

the instructions on the CD-ROM case. For information on how to use the editor,

refer to the application’s online Help.

BTS SW is loaded to the BTS by the manufacturer. There is usually no need to

locally load SW to the BTS during commissioning.

Start the commissioning as follows:

1. Start the Nokia BTS Manager by double-clicking the BTS Manager icon

on the desktop.

2. Enter the MMI and BTS passwords, if required.

3. When the BTS Manager indicates that the BTS is in the ‘BCF

commissioning’ state, choose the Wizard command on the Commissioning

menu.

4. Select the Manual Commissioning option and click Next.

Commissioning can be done only with a non-commissioned BTS. If the BTS is

already commissioned, you need to run the Undo Commissioning procedure first.
