Cell Site Installation Checklist for Different Test Scenarios
Antenna alignment
ü Ensure the antenna is aligned
according to design (azimuth, tilt,
and roll) with results embedded
in a picture showing the antenna’s
visual field of view.
Coax and antenna
ü Test each RF path (coax + antenna)
for Return Loss/VSWR. If failing,
refer to Distance To Fault (DTF)
screen to locate and correct the
problem.
Fiber end face
inspection
ü Ensure end-faces of fiber cables,
connectors, SFP Modules are clean/
undamaged; cleaning alone does
not resolve pits and scratches.
SFP/SFP+/SFP28
ü Verify operation of the pluggable
optical modules (SFP).
Right the First Time
Optical loss test
or OTDR
ü At minimum, ensure loss within
optical path loss budget. Ideally,
use OTDR to characterize every
event and ensure total reflectance

ü Troubleshoot UL noise issues/PIM
via the CPRI interface without
climbing the tower; perform RF
analysis of the uplink while the
cell site is in service.
RF Check
ü Check if signal is present, its
strength and range, and existence
and nature of interference (either
