4. If EDGE transmission is not required, proceed directly to Section 6.1.4 to
complete the Abis transmission allocation.
For EDGE transmission, proceed to Section 6.1.3 to allocate EDGE TRXs
to the dynamic Abis pool.
For chained BTS transmission allocation, proceed to Section 6.1.2.
6.1.2 Allocating transmission capacity for chaining
The chaining feature is available for BTSs which have been loaded with CX 3.0
software or later. Two or three Nokia MetroSite EDGE BTSs can be chained
together as one BCF object.
For example, a chain of two BTSs might contain five TRXs, as seen in the
example of BTS Manager’s Supervision - Equipment View window in Figure 2.
The transmission capacity can be allocated between the TRXs in the chained
BTSs, as described in the procedure below. BTS Manager is connected to the
master BTS in the chain.
Before beginning a site expansion, the site must be locked from the BSC or NMS
with BCF lock.
You can check if the site has been locked by connecting a BTS Manager laptop
to the master BTS in the chain, starting BTS Manager and checking TRX
PROPERTIES in the Supervision - Equipment View window (right-click with the
mouse over a TRX in the window).
