Chapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning 5.2.1 Unlocking the Abis Interface The Abis interface between the BSC and BTS is established via a PPP link over E1 or T1 lines. Make the E1 or T1 connections to the provider and set up the Abis signaling link to the OMC as described in Chapter 4 - Off-Line Commissioning of a Daisy Chain. Once the Abis link is established it must be unlocked at the OMC to allow the BSC to download the TRX code to the BTS.
On-Line Commissioning 5.2.2 Commissioning the Micro BTS Before disconnecting the E1 or T1 cables, the field technician must make sure that the cable is labeled in a way that clearly identifies its origin (a particular E1 or T1 port on the Micro BTS, or a particular port of an E1 or T1 panel, etc.) and destination (a particular E1 or T1 slot and port on the Micro BTS). Provide the OMC operator with all part, revision and serial numbers for the Micro BTS cards and modules.
Chapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning 5.2.4 External Alarm Tests 1 Test external alarms using the following procedures: A Open the door of the Micro BTS. B After a delay, the OMC operator must observe an alarm event. C Close the door. D After a delay, the alarm state displayed at the OMC changes from open to closed. 2 For each external alarm that you connected in Section 2.8, verify that it is propagated to the OMC. A Close the alarm relay (i.e. trigger the first customer-defined alarm).
On-Line Commissioning 5.2.5 TCH Timeslot Tests In this test, the OMC operator unlocks individual TCH timeslots and the field technician places a mobile-to-mobile call over each timeslot using a mobile handset in debug mode. Refer to the documentation provided by the module handset manufacturer for the proper procedures. For each timeslot, the commissioner should verify that: The timeslot displayed on the handset corresponds to the timeslot unlocked by the OMC operator.

Antenna Cabling and Power Verification 5.3 Antenna Cabling and Power Verification Use the procedures in this section to verify the output power and antenna cabling. After the hardware installation is complete, forward and reverse power needs verification. 5.3.1 Setting up Power Measurements After performing the BTS commissioning as described in the previous section, use the following procedure to check the performance of an on-line Micro BTS without using a Racal test procedure.
Chapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning 5.3.2 Verifying TRX Output Power Starting with the first TRX, this procedure must be completed for each TRX in the Micro BTS. The OMC operator will need to know what TRX is under test to enable the BCCH on that specific TRX and lock all other TRXs. You must be an experienced RF field technician to perform these procedures. Do not disconnect RF coaxial connectors on the equipment or antenna systems while the radio equipment is operating.
Antenna Cabling and Power Verification 4 Connect the antenna cable from the TRX port that you are testing to the “out” port of the RF watt meter. See Figure 5-4. RF Watt Meter RF cable Equipment Antenna Connector RF cable to Antenna Power Sensor IW136501 Figure 5-4: Direct RF Connection 5 Connect the RF cable between the Micro BTS RF output port (antenna connector) and the RF watt meter, as shown in Figure 5-4. This is the recommended method of testing forward and reflected power.
Chapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning If you do not have a high power sensor, you need to reduce the output power for the forward power measurement. Connect the appropriate attenuator (50 Watt or more, 10-20 dB) inline between the Micro BTS RF output port and the “in” port of the RF watt meter, as shown in Figure 5-5. You must figure the power loss of both cables and the attenuator in this scenario. You cannot measure the reflected power using this test setup.
Antenna Cabling and Power Verification 10 Record the output power of the TRX on the power meter. This will be displayed in either Watts or dBm. Your final reading should account for losses at the cables and connectors, and if used the loss through the attenuator. Table 5-4 provides the allowable readings given a Thruline Watt Meter and the cable losses referenced in Step 5. Table 5-4: Allowable Power Meter Reading Range (Watts) Nominal Output Power 15 Watt 25 Watt 40 Watt 50 Watt Reading Range 0.
Chapter 5 - On-Line Commissioning 5.3.3 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Check The antenna and feeder cable VSWR measurement should be performed before the Micro BTS installation and commissioning by the team responsible for the antenna installation using a VSWR meter. The required VSWR is 1.5 or less. It is very important to confirm the antenna and feeder installation to ensure the Micro BTS transmits its signal power to the air effectively.
Antenna Cabling and Power Verification 5.3.4 RX Signal Quality Measurements The objectives of this test are to verify the performance of the Receive path of the Micro BTS and the operation of the RX module in the TRX. Before these tests can take place, the Micro BTS must be returned to its original “on air” working state with call processing possible. 1 From an Xterm window on the OMC, telnet to the Micro BTS to be tested, or alternatively connect directly to the Micro BTS with the Craft PC.
