3. Set monitoring system parameters. 4. Test DL input power and align donor antenna.
5. Measuring power for UL/DL output levels. 6. Test DL output power and adjust DL ATT level. 7. Test coverage area field intensity and adjust mobile antenna.
Set the DL ATT to the optimal level to avoid saturating the DL PA or to satisfy design requirements. Use test handset to verify field intensity within the coverage area. If needed, realign the service antenna to achieve the desired coverage. Note: If during operation, the equipment gain could not be set to maximum or the output power is not strong enough due to insufficient donor and service antennas isolation, then the antennas position should be changed to increase isolation. If the output power is too strong and ALC is activated, then adjust the DL ATT to achieve optimal DL gain. It is recommended to overdrive the PA by around 3dB to turn on ALC feature. Adjust UL gain and perform test calls. Typically, the UL gain is set around 10dB less than DL gain. Perform test calls in the coverage area while adjusting UL gain if required. Note: If the equipment is near the BTS and the test call performance is poor, this may be due to UL noise interference to the BTS. Users can calculate and determine if the equipment UL noise will interfere with the BTS. Verify again that the interference to the BTS is acceptable. Table 14: Commissioning Procedures
8. Verify uplink gain and ensure test call is proper and there is no interference to the BTS.
