COMMISSIONING the 3G Flexi WCDMA Multiradio

BTS
NOTE: During this setup, the 3G Flexi WCDMA Multiradio BTS must
be the Master, in that case it should be commissioned first before
commissioning the 2G Flexi Edge Multiradio BTS.
5.1 Define the laptop IP address as shown in the figure below. This will
allow you to interrogate locally the 3G Flexi Multiradio equipment.
A 10base-T Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector is used for connection

to the system module (FSMD/E) LAN port.
Laptop OS should be Windows XP Home/Pro, Vista and Windows 7 (for
Windows 7 & Vista, open the BTS site manager as administrator for it
to work).
Nokia Flexi BTS Site Manager (BTSSiteEM-WN70-7.1.1077) should be
installed in your laptop.
3G Datafill file is needed for the BTS parameters.

Concurrent mode/RF sharing licenses (Ru30) MUST be already

installed on the BTS by the ROC/NOC before starting.
Sec4.2 of this document MUST be satisfied.
Perform back up of the existing configuration of the Flexi BTS for fall
back procedure if needed.
6.
Launch the BTS Site Manager

Before starting, make sure that the preparations have been made as
highlighted in sec5. The following steps will guide you interrogating
the BTS equipment.
1. Start the Nokia BTS Site Manager by clicking the icon on your
desktop. The task selection view opens as shown below.
2. If you want to establish a local connection, select the Local option

from the IP adress list.
3. If you want to establish a remote connection, define the IP
address of the remote BTS.
4. Enter the Username and Password. The default username is
Nemuadmin and the password is nemuuser.

5. Click connect.
If multiple versions of BTS Site manager are installed on the PC, the
appropriate BTS Site Manager version is selected automatically.
NOTE: If there is a Failure to connect to BTS, possible cause
below
-
Software not compatible with new FTLB transmission Module.

Swap FTLB with FTIB and reconnect, update software as indicated
below.
When software is successfully uploaded, replace FTIB with FTLB
and reload software to continue with commissioning.
6.1 Updating the BTS Site software

Updating the BTS software is optional. You should do it only if the BTS
does not have the required software version. Follow the steps below.
1. If there is mismatch in the software, a dialog box opens as
shown below. Otherwise you have to go to the update SW to
BTS site menu.
2. Select file button to locate the target build of the new SW as

shown below and click open.
3. The current target build is TargetBD_WN7.0_1104_1270

6. Check SW release version: WN7.0 1104 1270 04 is

loaded
Note: This exercise will also update the SW versions of the RF
Module: FXDA. If any case there is incompatible SW alarm just
reload the SW.
6.2 Manual Commissioning
Before commissioning is done, click on Antenna line management and
un-tick all 3GPP/AISG communication boxes as indicated. This has to
be done before any 3G Multi-radio commissioning starts. Ensure
Reset after sending is enabled and send new configuration to BTS.
After reset check Antenna line management settings again to verify
3GPP/AISG communication boxes is unchecked. Only after this
proceed with commissioning
If no commissioning file(.xml) is available, Nokia Flexi Multiradio site

should be commissioned manually. The Flexi Multiradio BTS and/or the
flexi transport module (TRS) are commissioned with the
commissioning wizard in Nokia Flexi BTS Site Manager. The
commissioning can be started when the modules are on initialised
state. Follow the steps below.

The wizard features back, next, cancel and help buttons for
navigating. The next button brings up the following page in each
commissioning file. It guides you through the commissioning process
and prompts you for the required parameters.
1. Click View tab, choose the commissioning button on the view bar
or choose the commissioning menu item. The commissioning
introduction menu opens as shown below.
2. Choose the BTS site (will commission the BTS and TRS
parameters) and choose manual commissioning type.
6.3 Define site properties

Commissioning requires that Name, BTS ID, A2EA and IP addresses are
defined.
1. Enter the name of the BTS site in the name field
2. Enter the location.
3. Enter the description or configuration of the site as per profile in
the plan.
4. Define the BTS Id ( for Cell C site name = BTS Id).
5. Define the IP address of the: TRS BTS, RNC and NTP server (refer
to the example IP Plan for Cell C Project).

Launch the 2g Flexi BTS Site Manager

Before starting, make sure that the preparations have been made as
highlighted in sec4. The following steps will guide you interrogating
the BTS equipment.
Start the Nokia 2G Flexi BTS Manager by clicking the icon on your
desktop. The task selection view opens as shown below.
10.1 BTS SW Update

The first step of the commissioning is BTS SW Downloading/Update.
This is necessary to align the current SW packet of the BTS with the
new release BTS SW. It starts with selecting the BTS SW and
followed by SW update
Then, we must browse and select the header or master file to

start the download. The SW version BTSM4113.3A

It is recommended to select the option Forc Download to guarantee

the downloading of all files of the new SW. If we dont mark this
option, only the changes in between versions will be downloaded
(depending on the versions).
Press the update SW. The progress bar will help us to follow the
process. Notice that FIREWALL SW running on PC could BLOCK the
downloading. When the Download is finished, The BTS will restart and
the PC automatically connect to the BTS.
Multi Radio BTS doesnt autodetect un-commissioned radio modules,
thats the reason why only the system module appears on the screen.

ON-LINE commissioning is when you are physically connected

to the BTS via your straight LAN cable.

Note that OPT1 is untick and your synchronization is also untick since
your 3G BTS is your master. Note also that the RF module (FXDA) is
already defined.
If DCS1800 is being used, then we need to add new RF chain for FXEA
using OPT2.
10.6 Local Sector Settings

Since we hav Rx Sharing of FXDA (sector 4,5 & 6), the mximum
allowable Carrier power is 60W. Since 3G BTS uses 40W carrier power
already, our 2G BTS will now have a mximum of 20W carrier power to
be used. It can be 10W depending on the RF plan. While your FXEA
(sector 1,2 &3) will still have a mximum 60W carrier power since its
not shared.

External Alarm Testing

Indoor Sites
Once the BTS is commissioned, test the alarms with the NOC. Ask the NOC to
save and email you the log file. The Alarms will be tested twice. First before
moving the Alarm cable and second when the alarm cable is moved. Ensure
that the alarms on the old BTS are the same as on the MR BTS. Please note
that not all the sites will have the same alarms. The most common alarms are
listed below. If the alarm is not listed below simulate the alarm to test that it
is functional.
1. Intruder (External Alarm 18)
Close the door and monitor on BTS manager for alarm to clear.
Open door and monitor to alarm condition
2. Movement(if installed) (External Alarm 19)
Cover movement sensor and wait for at least 3 minutes.
Remove cover from sensor and monitor alarm condition.
3. Rectifier Module Fail(External Alarm 8)
Switch off rectifier module at rectifier or disconnect module to generate
alarm.
Switch on again and see that alarm clears.
