UMTS: NodeB V200R015C00 (RAN15.0)
GSM: GBTS V100R015C00 and V300R015C00 (GBSS15.0)

This document uses eNodeB V100R006C00 (eRAN6.0) as an example. For SRAN8.0


co-MPT base stations, commands for the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes are the same.
Therefore, this document also applies to GSM and UMTS base stations.

NOTE
 Remote electrical tilt (RET) modules of the EasyRET2.0 antennas involved in this document can be
used only for antenna information management modules (AIMMs) in LTE FDD base stations. (For
details about AIMM specifications, see Table 1-1.) For details about how to configure the
EasyRET2.0 antennas in LTE TDD base stations, see Smart Antenna LTE TDD Base Station
Configuration Guide.
 For base stations not sharing the main processing and transmission unit (MPT), commands for the
UMTS and LTE modes are the same, which can be configured by referring to this document.
Configuration processes for GBTSs remain unchanged. For detailed configurations, see section A.6
"MML Command List."
 Antennas earlier than EasyRET2.0 include embedded unpluggable remote control unit (RCU)
antennas (EasyRET1.0 antennas) and external RCU antennas. For detailed configurations, see the
RET antenna base station configuration guide (including GSM/UMTS/LTE base stations).

2.1.2 Replacing the AIMM


Step 1 Before AIMM replacement, record the original downtilt of the antenna and fill the installation
recording form in the AIMM installation guide delivered with the AIMM, as shown in Figure
2-4.
Step 2 Install a new AIMM.

The relationship between antennas and AIMMs must comply with that described in Table 1-1.

Step 3 Fill other information in the installation recording form.

 To upgrade an MET2.0 antenna to an EasyRET2.0 antenna, or replace the AIMM of a single- or


dual-band EasyRET2.0 antenna, fill the installation recording form shown in Figure 2-4, and
configure the antenna based on the serial number (SN) specified in the form.
 You can skip this step if you replace the AIMM of a tri- or multi-band EasyRET2.0 antenna.
 You can check the end face appearance of an antenna to determine whether it is an EasyRET2.0
antenna or whether it needs to be replaced by an EasyRET2.0 antenna. On the RET module of the
EasyRET1.0 antenna, the end face has round angles and two or no bolts. While on the RET module
of the new EasyRET2.0 or MET2.0 antenna, the end face is square and has four removable bolts.

of the RET Antenna to confirm the results. If the RET antenna fails to be added, find related
causes and add the RET antenna again.

Performing Step 1 to Step 3 can complete one RCU added. If multiple RCU SNs are scanned
(including the external RCUs and integrated RCUs), you need to repeat Step 1 to Step 3 to achieve
all RCUs added.

3.5 Setting the Downtilt of the RET Antenna


Link setup between an eNodeB and an RET antenna requires 2 to 3 minutes. Therefore, set
the downtilt 2 to 3 minutes after the smart antenna is added. The antenna must be in
calibration mode before its downtilt can be set.
You can set the downtilt of an RET antenna by running the MOD RETSUBUNIT or MOD
RETTILT command. The MOD RETSUBUNIT command can also be used to set the
subunit. This section uses the MOD RETSUBUNIT command as an example to describe
how to set the downlink of a smart antenna.

Procedure
Step 1 In the parameter input area, enter MOD RETSUBUNT in Command Input(F5), and then
click Assist or press Enter.

 Before you set the RET antenna downtilt, the RET antenna must be calibrated. For details, see A.1.2
"Calibrating the RET Antenna."
 The downtilt ranges of RETs from different vendors and of different models are different. To search
for the downtilt range, see section A.1.7 "Displaying the RET Device Data Dynamic Information."
 The unit of Tilt(0.1 degree) is 0.1 degree. That is, the entered value is ten times of the required
value. For example, when you enter 50 in Tilt(0.1 degree), the target tilt is five degrees.

Step 3 Press F9 or click Exec.


If Operation succeeded is displayed in the command export area, the downtilt is configured
successfully. If the downtilt fails to be configured, find related causes and configure the
downtilt again.

4 Other Application Scenarios of


EasyRET2.0 Antennas

4.1 RET Antenna Configuration in Dual-eNodeB


Scenarios
In dual-eNodeB scenarios, perform the following steps using related commands to configure
RET antennas on each eNodeB:
Step 1 Turning on the Power Supply Switch to the RET Antenna
Step 2 Querying the Operating Status of the RET Antenna
Step 3 Scanning the RET Antennas
Step 4 Adding an RET Antenna
Step 5 Setting the Downtilt of the RET Antenna
Step 6 Querying the Downtilt of the RET Antenna

CAUTION
In dual-NodeB scenarios, the time-consuming commands, such as loading software,
calibrating antenna, setting the downtilt, are not supported operating on both NodeBs at the
same time. If these commands executed simultaneously on both NodeBs, the NodeB which
sends command latter may fail or returns "busy". In this case, wait 2 minutes and then run the
commands again.

The following uses a quad-band antenna with four RCU SNs as an example to describe
precautions during RET antenna scanning. Two eNodeBs are represented by eNodeB A and
eNodeB B.
1 If the RET antenna with integrated RCUs is not configured, the SNs of all integrated
RCUs can be scanned with Configure Status set to UNCONFIGURED on both
eNodeBs.
Figure 4-1 shows the SCN ALD command output on eNodeB A or eNodeB B. Four SNs
can be scanned.

2. If some SNs are used to configure the RET antenna with integrated RCUs by running the
ADD ALD command on a eNodeB, only the unused SNs can be scanned on the other
eNodeB.
For example, if two SNs are used to configure the RET antenna with integrated RCUs by
running the ADD ALD command on eNodeB A, only two remaining SNs can be scanned
on eNodeB B.
Figure 4-2 shows the scanning result on eNodeB A. Four SNs are scanned. The value of
Configure Status is UNCONFIGURED for two SNs and CONFIGURED for the other
two SNs.

Figure 4-2 Scanning result on eNodeB A

Figure 4-3 shows the scanning result on eNodeB B. only two SNs with Configure
Status set to UNCONFIGURED are scanned.

Figure 4-3 Scanning result on eNodeB B

3. After all SNs are used to configure the RET antenna with integrated RCUs, only the SNs
used on an eNodeB can be scanned on the eNodeB.
For example, if two SNs are used to configure the RET antenna on eNodeB A and the
other two on eNodeB B by running the ADD ALD command, then only the two SNs
used on eNodeB A can be scanned on eNodeB A.
Figure 4-4 shows the scanning result on eNodeB A. Only the two SNs used on eNodeB A
are scanned with Configure Status set to CONFIGURED.

4. After the RMV ALD command is executed, the SNs of corresponding integrated RCUs
are released, with the value of Configure Status changed to UNCONFIGURED. For
details about how to delete an RET antenna, see section A.1.7 "Displaying the RET
Device Data Dynamic Information." The SNs with Configure Status set to
UNCONFIGURED can be scanned on both eNodeBs.
For example, if two SNs are used to configure the RET antenna on eNodeB A and the
other two on eNodeB B by running the ADD ALD command, then eNodeB A release an
SN.
Figure 4-6 shows the scanning result on eNodeB A. Two SNs are scanned. The value of
Configure Status is CONFIGURED and for one SN is UNCONFIGURED for the
other one.

 For detailed operations in Step 1 and Step 2, see the related AIMM installation guide.
 The following figure (AIMM installation recording form) shows the relationship between the band
and the AIMM SN after the single-band antenna is upgraded.

 After the dual-band is upgraded, the relationship between the band and the RET SN is as follows:
Place the top side of the antenna up and face the end where the RET module is located. Then, read
the bands in an ascending order. If the bands are the same, read the bands from the left to the right
or from top down. Match the bands with the last digit of the AIMM SNs.
For example, as shown in the following figure (AIMM installation recording form), the SN whose
last digit is 1 corresponds to a low band and the SN whose last digit is 2 corresponds to a high
band.

4.3.2 Replacing the AIMM for a Single- or Dual-Band EasyRET2.0


Antenna
Single-or dual-band antennas do not have backplanes to store antenna-related information,
such as configuration data, antenna models, bands, and RET SNs. Therefore, after a pluggable
AIMM is installed, perform the following steps to input all RET information.

Procedure
Step 1 Record the downtilt of the original antenna by pulling the ruler and reading the scale or by
running the command LST RETSUNBUNIT on the LMT
Step 2 Record the relationship between the RET SN and antenna band.
Step 3 Check and delete configuration information of the replaced antenna by referring to sections
A.1.9 "Displaying the RET Dynamic Information" and A.1.10 "Deleting an RET Antenna."
Step 4 Scan and add the new RET SN by referring to sections 3.1 "Turning on the Power Supply
Switch to the RET Antenna" to 3.4 "Adding an RET Antenna."
Step 5 After upgrade, load antenna configuration data and calibrate the antenna by referring to
sections A.1.1 "Loading RET Antenna Configuration Data" and A.1.2 "Calibrating the RET
Antenna."
Step 6 Configure the antenna downtilt by referring to sections 3.5 "Setting the Downtilt of the RET

Antenna."

4.3.3 Upgrading a Multi-Band MET2.0 Antenna to an EasyRET 2.0


Antenna
Tri- or multi-band MET2.0 antennas have backplanes to store antenna-related information,
such as configuration data, antenna models, and bands. Therefore, no configuration data needs
to be loaded. After a MET2.0 antenna is upgraded to an EasyRET2.0 antenna, perform the
following step on the network management system (NMS) to configure the RET module and
calibrate and set the downtilt:
Step 1 Record the downtilt of the original antenna by reading the scale on the ruler.
Step 2 Record the antenna band and RET SN on the antenna nameplate. Ensure that the antenna band
matches the RET SN.
Step 3 Perform configurations by referring to sections 3.1 "Turning on the Power Supply Switch to
the RET Antenna" to 3.4 "Adding an RET Antenna"
Step 4 After upgrade, load antenna configuration data and calibrate the antenna by referring to
sections A.1.1 "Loading RET Antenna Configuration Data" and A.1.2 "Calibrating the RET
Antenna."
Step 5 Configure the antenna downtilt by referring to sections 3.5 "Setting the Downtilt of the RET
Antenna" and 3.6 "Querying the Downtilt of the RET Antenna."

 For detailed operations in Step 1 and Step 2, see the related AIMM installation guide.
 The following figure shows an antenna nameplate, on which the band and corresponding SN of the
multi-band MET2.0 antenna are displayed.

EasyRET2.0 Antenna
GUL BTS Configuration Guide 4 Other Application Scenarios of EasyRET2.0 Antennas

 During AIMM installation, AIMM information is recorded on an installation recording form


delivered with the AIMM installation guide, as shown in the following figure.

4.3.4 Replacing the AIMM for a Multi-Band EasyRET2.0 Antenna


Tri- or multi-band EasyRET2.0 antennas have backplanes to store antenna-related information,
such as configuration data, antenna models, and bands.
When the RET module is to be changed, the RET SN and antenna information remain
unchanged. Therefore, the RET module does not need to be configured and no configuration
data needs to be loaded on the NMS.

During AIMM installation, calibration and angle adjustment are required when the motor is faulty and
the AIMM needs to be replaced.

The RET module can be directly replaced, which is convenient and reflects the advantage of
the EasyRET2.0 antenna.

A.3 Color Coding Standard


The following describes the method of representing the band features:
According to the AISG Color Coding Standard, different colors are used to represent the color
rings of the antenna port based on its band features. The upper band edge of the antenna port
is represented in red, green, blue, and yellow in sequence from the low band to the high band,
which describes the mapping between the colors and the upper band edges of the antenna port.
In terms of a multi-band antenna, if the upper band edges of at least two antenna ports are in
the same range, digits or repeateds letters can be used to represent the color coding. If digits
are used, the digit 1 needs to be used to represent the color coding when only one color exists.
