1. PnP commissioning
The PnP commissioning enables the DHCP server on the OMMB and the PnP policies
are configured on the EMS. That is, the site data and version are configured on the OMC
side before they are automatically downloaded to the eNodeB.
SOW analysis: This is most efficient commissioning mode and is thus highly
recommended as no supervisor is required on site.
For details about how to perform PnP commissioning, refer to the LTE TDD (V3.30.20.00)
eNodeB Ukey Commissioning Guide.
2. USB commissioning
Use the Umaker tool to write configured site data and version into the Ukey. The Ukey is
then directly connected to the eNodeB on site for data and version uploading to perform
site commissioning.
SOW analysis: Ukey commissioning is very efficient for single site scenarios. A
supervisor is required on site, he is unnecessarily a master of technical skills, though.
Such commissioning mode is recommended in scenarios where PnP commissioning is
impossible.
For details about how to perform Ukey commissioning, refer to the LTE TDD
(V3.30.20.00) eNodeB Ukey Commissioning Guide.
3. LMT commissioning
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 4
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
Use the Ethernet cable to connect to the eNodeB directly, and use the LMT tool to upload
the configured site data and version to the eNodeB side to perform site commissioning.
SOW analysis: LMT commissioning is inefficient for single site scenarios. A highly-skilled
supervisor is required on site. Such commissioning mode is recommended in scenarios
where neither PnP nor Ukey commissioning is impossible.
This document is SOP-based and thus all procedures are described in detail. It is
oftentimes applicable to the first site commissioning of a network.
For details about how to perform LMT commissioning, refer to the LTE TDD (V3.30.20.00)
eNodeB LMT Commissioning Guide.

parameters are described below:
[1588 clock device type]: includes an ordinary clock and a boundary clock. For the
boundary clock, the upper level 1588 clock of this device is taken as the reference clock
for its lower level device. For the ordinary clock, the clock acts only as the main clock
(serving the 1588 clock reference for the other devices) or as the secondary clock (using
the 1588 clock reference provided by the main clock).In this scenario, an ordinary clock is
applied by default.
[1588 link selecting mode]: This parameter should be consistent with that at the PTN
side.

[GNSS cable length]: set the length of the GPS cable. This should be entered according
to actual conditions.
The following operations are performed in the case where BBU dry contacts or RRU dry
contacts are required to monitor the complex environment alarm status of the BBU or
RRU. The OMC configurations and main cable configurations are provided in this section;
for connections of external cables, refer to relevant engineering installation documents.
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 35
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
As shown in the figure below, the BBU dry contact is configured on the SA board.
Select Dry Contact Device. As shown in the figure below, the most important
parameters are described below:
[Object ID of dry contact device]: This parameter records the number of dry contact
devices. It starts coding from 1 and is only used on the OMC. Thus, data at the eNodeB
side will not be affected.
[Dry contact description]: This parameter specifies the functions and features of a dry
contact. The function is revealed when you customize the dry contact alarm as the alarm
name is not provided by the system when a dry contact alarm is customized. In such
scenario, only “customized dry contact xx” (“xx” indicates the number) will be shown.
Thus, to identify the type of the alarm, a dry contact description is required.
[Dry contact number]: This parameter is required to start coding from 0 to 15. This
parameter is the dry contact ID actually used at the eNodeB side. The alarms are
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 36
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
identified according the dry contact number. For example, the dry contact number of the
water alarm is 0, the dry contact number of the smoke alarm is 1, the dry contact cables
will be led to the corresponding ports. Either a decimal or a hexadecimal can be used as
the number. That is, when 0 is reported, the eNodeB will be notified of a water alarm;
when 1 is reported, the eNodeB will be notified of a smoke alarm.
[Dry contact type]: Two options are provided: Input dry contact and Output dry contact.
When it is set to “Input dry contact”, signals of the monitoring device are imported to the
BBU through the SA board. The monitoring is performed on the OMC. When it is set to
“Output dry contact”, the dry contact signals collected are forwarded to the upper level
monitoring device through the SA board. For example, a third party device is applied to
monitor the alarm signals of the BBU.
[Alarm status]: Two options are provided: Alarm when closed and Alarm when opened.
When it is set to Alarm when closed, the dry contact alarm will not be reported to the
OMC; Otherwise, it will be reported to the OMC.
[Is Customized dry contact alarm]: “No” and “Yes” are provided as options. “No” indicates
the standard system alarm, that is, the customized “alarm name” can be found in “dry
contact alarm name”; “Yes” indicates that no alarm name is provided by the system.
Therefore, only “customized dry contact xx” (“xx” indicates the number) can be found in
“dry name alarm name”. Dry contact description is required in such scenario.
One SA board can be configured with at most eight dry contact devices. If more than
eight dry contact devices are configured, you may add the SE board. Likewise, the SE
board can generate a maximum of eight records with similar configuration method to the
SA board. Therefore, you can infer that the total number of dry contact devices cannot
exceed 16.

The dry contact configurations of the RRU correspond to the dry contact devices on
it.
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 38
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
[Alarm status]: Select either Alarm when closed or Alarm when opened depending
on scenarios.
[Dry contact alarm name]: Set the parameter according to actual applications.

Select Modify Area > Radio Network >TD-LTE> E-UTRAN TDD Cell, and then
double-click it to enter the E-UTRAN TDD-List tab page. Click to add a cell.
Main parameters:
[E-UTRAN TDD Cell ID] This is the internal cell number of the eNodeB. “1,2, or 3” is
recommended. The value cannot exceed 10000.
[PCI] This parameter is shortened from the physical cell identifier. It needs to be entered
according to network planning. The PCI cannot be modified after determined.
[Baseband Resources Configuration] This indicates the RRUs used in this cell and the
RRU corresponding baseband resources;
[Number of Tx Antenna Port in Cell]: This parameter depends on the RRU type and
antenna type;
[Band Indication for Frequency] The band indication for frequency and the ARFCN where
the UL/DL carrier frequency is located will be configured according to the actual
frequency resource usage. The mapping relation between the frequency band indication
and frequency range is as follows: 32:2545-2575, 33:1900-1920, 34:2010-2025,

ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 68
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
Note:
Band E should range from 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz. As the current RRU device supports,
however, only the range from 2320 MHz to 2370 MHz, the default ARFCN of band E on
the OMC is 2320. Thus, you need to manually change the setting. For a cell whose
bandwidth is 20 M, you need to change its ARFCN to at least 2330. Otherwise, the cell
could not be established.
As the China Mobile demands, band F is adjusted to 30 M starting from phase three of
the LTE project. The band F RRU device tailed with A supports only the 30 M of the
range from 1885 to 1915. The central frequency band configuration strategy for the new
LTE devices later on depends on the operator’s requests. The market strategy is
described below:
The ARFCN of 1890 M at the 20M bandwidth is not allowed. The previous 5 M of band F
cannot be used and cannot be supported by the device, either.
When no interference or no severe interference exists between 1900 and 1905, the
ARFCN of 1895 M at the 20 M bandwidth should be set;
When interference exists between 1900 and 1905, the ARFCN of 1892.5 M at the 15 M
bandwidth should be set. (The setting is supported by both the current version and the
terminal.);
After the PHS spectrum clearance was performed, the ARFCN of 1895 M at the 20 M
bandwidth was globally applied.
The range of band D 41 includes 38. This is configured according to on-site planning.
“2:7” is in most cases applied to independent LTE networking. Thus, no TDS band such
as band D, is involved;
“2:5” is in most cases applied to the hybrid networking of LTE and TDS such as in the
band F scenario. If a variety of manufacturers of a city is available, “2:6” can also be
configured.

LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
[System Band Width]: The LTE TDD supported bandwidth depends on the actual
applications such as 20 M or 10 M.
[Maximum RBs Allocated for Uplink/Downlink UE]: The parameters are relevant with the
previous system bandwidth. If the system bandwidth is 20 M, keep them to 100; if the
system bandwidth is 15 M, both parameters should be changed to 75. For the bandwidth
of 10 M, change them to 50; for that of 5 M, change them to 25; for that of 3 M, change
them to 15; for that of 1.4 M, change them to 6. Currently, these parameters are
automatically changed when the bandwidths are modified on the OMC in accordance
with the rules mentioned previously.
[CFI Selection] If a LTE TDD network is already available in the living network, keep it the
same as that of the previous eNodeB; if no LTE TDD network is available, set it globally
to Auto-Adjusted.
Default value is 0, reducing sampling rate mode is closed; value 1 is enable reducing
sampling rate mode. Value 2 only for Qcell scenario. the IQ compression mode of
baseband should be enabled when reducing sampling rate mode enabled.
After this cell is configured, you need to take this cell as parent node and configure the
E-UTRAN cell reselection, measurement parameters as part of these parameters will be
used when the cell is established.

LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
2. Click OK to finish forming a super cell. The previous three normal cells (170, 171,
and 172) are then combined into one super cell called 170. Cells 171 and 172 can
serve as normal cells for backup. The super cell can be splitted to three normal cells
anytime.
Note:
When configure the super cell through 1 normal cell + some unused baseband
resources from the super cell management tool, need to unblock the CPs from the
dynamic management. Because if the baseband resources blocked before configure
the super cell, they also blocked after configure the super cell.
In V3.30.20.00, when multiple normal cells are combined into a super cell, the radio
parameter modifications are performed on the main CP. If the super cell is splitted into
normal cells, the previous main CP corresponding normal cell inherits all radio parameter
data of the previous super cell. The secondary CP corresponding normal cells will
resume their data before the grouping.

“Two carriers” indicates that two TDL cells of different ARFCNs are established in a same
RRU. Pay attention to the following points:
1. Configure two baseband resources referencing the same RRU antenna group;
2. Two TDL cells are established referencing the previously established baseband
resources. Pay attention to the following points:
Bands of the two cells cannot be duplicated. For example, if the frequency of
the first cell is 2330, that of the second cell should be configured as 2350.

1. Overview
The A8712 M192026 is an integrated RRU with a built-in antenna. It has four RF
channels, in which, channel 1 and channel 2 are of band FA (mixed-mode) and channel 3
and channel 4 are of band D (TDL single-mode). Two antenna groups can be configured
on one RRU during data configurations in the field to support band FA and band D
respectively.
2. Networking specifications
Note: This RRU is 30 M by band F. You need to modify the setting when configuring the
ARFCN of band F.
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 100
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
Configuring antenna physical entity: For band FA, its configurations are similar to those
for the R8972 M1920 or the R8972E M1920. The physical entity type of the antenna can
be set to 20 (smart dual-polarized antenna); for band D, as only LTE single mode is
supported, the antenna entity of the antenna can be configured as 20 or 202 (for
distributed dual-antenna scenario), as shown in the figure below:
RF cable connection: Connect port No.1 and port No.2 of band FA of the RRU to the
antenna entity 1; connect port No.3 and port No.4 of band D to the antenna entity 2, as
shown in the figure below:
IR antenna group: Then, create two Ir antenna groups on one same RRU, as shown in
the figure below:
ZTE Confidential & Proprietary. © 2017 ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. 101
LTE TDD eNodeB Commissioning Guide
No special demands are required. The policy is that you need to select different
baseband resources according to various bands. Note that band F range of this RRU is
between 1885 and 1915 with a bandwidth of 30 M; band D ranges from 2575 to 2635 with
a bandwidth of 60 M. When performing configurations in the field, remember that the
band should fall into the specified range.
1. When the variety of RRU types is available, synchronous downloading of both the
BBU and RRU version packages might trigger disk insufficiency, causing
downloading failures.
Separately download and activate the BBU and RRU version packages.
2. Do not modify the configuration data before the activation takes effect upon
pre-activating.
3. If configure the carrier groups on the RRU, but the carrier groups do not have
frequency, other carrier groups’ frequency can’t set up when the RRU set up.
4. After adding or replacing a PM board, the base station need restarting to distribute
the power supply relations again.
5. Modifying the “Antenna Physical Entity Object” will cause the RRU to reset.
6. When the RRU is configured in the case of a multi-carrier loaded LTE network,
blocking one cell will cause service disruption of the other cells for a short period.
7. If the TX power of the RRU is excessively small (smaller than the power of the RRU
by more than 15 db), the RRU will not report alarms even if the SWR exceeds the
alarm threshold as the SWR measurement is incorrect.

5.2 Legacies
Note: The data at the OMC side will automatically take effect only when the firmware
activation succeeds. If the firmware activation fails, you need to manually check whether
the boards in question can be ignored. If they can, initiate the validation process again.
Otherwise, activate the firmware again.
2. The R8918 supports only a single-fiber cable rather than a dual-fiber cable for
connection.
3. After the slot for the BPL is changed, do not modify the cell ID. Otherwise, the UE
will fail to access the network.
4. In multi carriers scenarios, blocking one TDL cell will affect the other TDL cells of the
RRU.
5. The port OPT2 of R8972 only for the cascade, which as the upper port is forbidden.
