- Export the OMCB configuration for the site that needs upgrade as shown in the figure. - The extracted file will be .XML

- Use ZTE SDR configuration toolkit to convert (.XML) file to excel sheet (.XLS) as shown in the figure.

- ZTE SDR config toolkit is used to convert ZTE SDRs from XML to XLS and vice versa. - Note: Use the latest version of this software.

- When the conversion succeeds, you will get this output.

- Open the excel file. Now from Equipment sheet: modify Rack Topology as shown in the below figure in order to cascade RSU# 3 to RSU#2 as our example.

- RU sheet: Add a new coloumn for the new RSU Specify Board Type Fiber port connection. For cascaded RSUs both must be served by the same fiber port as seen from our example below.

- RU(Extension): add a new column for the new RSU and modify RSU number.

- RU(GSM): Add a new coloumn for the new RSU. Modify RSU number. Set a unique carrier group No. Total carrier number (which in our case 2 TRXs) Set the serving Sector No(sector 1 in our example) Carrier Number dedicated to first sector = Total carrier number.

- GSM carrier Add new columns to activate the number of TRXs in our concerned RSU that will be known from its carrier group No. in our example we have 2 TRXs need upgrade, so we need to set the following: o Sector No. o Logic Carrier Frequency No ( same as TRX number in the logical sector) o Carrier group number (this number is related to the RSU that will carry these TRXs).

 The final step is to include the SDR software version as shown below and the latest software is always recommended. Note: if u didnt do this step the conversion back to XML file is going to encounter a failure.

- Using ZTE SDR configuration toolkit convert the .XLS file back to XML as shown in the figure.

- In order to import the new configuration set; select batch offline reverse and select your new XML file.

- The new config set will be shown under the site name as shown in the figure and will be in offline mode.

- Switch the offline config set to master in order to make it work online. - Synchornize all tables.
