4 Upload BS240XL BACKUP

4.1 BTS Backup File Generation
Via the backup files (script files) a quick reconfiguration of the BTSE is possible (for example
necessary after a COBA replacement).
4.2 Generate BTS Backup File
To generate BTS Backup Files:
1. Select “View” -> “Backup BTS” from the LMT Evolution menu.
2. Click on the “Get” button in the appearing pop up window.
System Response: The configuration data of the BTSE are loaded to the LMT PC and are then
converted to script files: SCRIPT1P.LMT, SCRIPT2P.LMT, SCRIPT3P.LMT, SCRIPT4P.LMT,
SCRIPT5P.LMT, SCRIPT6P.LMT. These files are written into the BKBTS\BTSPLUS subdirectory. After
this process the following message is displayed: “Get HW operation is completed.”

“Backup BTS” Command
To use the Backup BTS tool provided by LMT Evolution it is necessary to be connected to the Network
Element (BTSE).
Once the connection is established and the authentication is guaranteed (LMT Evolution Online), the user
can start the backup procedure by selecting the menu command File\Backup Bts or by the corresponding
icon in the Tool Bar (see following fig).
“Backup BTS” Command
After the selection of the Backup BTS entry, the following window will displayed. Backup BTS contains
also Restore functionalities. Then, by selecting the Backup BTS entry in the File menu, the user will
access both Backup and Restore functionalities.
Backup BTS window

The Menu Bar (see previous fig) consists of two menu options:
1. File: provide access to Backup and Restore functionalities
2. Help: provide access to Backup BTS Help contents
By opening the File menu, the following items are listed (see following Fig):
a) Get: start the backing up the BTS configuration (by sending Get commands).
b) Restore: start the restoring of a previously saved configuration
c) Exit: terminates the Backup BTS application
File Menu
According to the BTS Phase, both Get and Restore operations are available (phase 2) or only Get
operation is available (Phase 3).
“Get” Command (Backup BTS)

By clicking the "Get" Command in the “File” menu or the "Get" icon on the Tool bar, the
backup of BTS configuration files starts.
Backup BTS allows the user to store more than one BTS configurations. Therefore, the user is asked to
provide the name of the configuration that is currently being saved (see following Fig). Later, when the
user will need to restore a BTS configuration, he will refer to the name of a previously saved configuration
by selecting it.
Save BackupBts Configuration Dialog Box

The configuration will be stored locally on the PC's file system. If a configuration with the same name
already exists, the user is warned by a pop up window (see following Fig).
Save Backup Bts Configuration - Warning box
In case the user decides to overwrite it, all data of the previous configuration will be lost and replaced by
the new configuration information. If the user wants to keep also the old configuration he must change the
name of the current one being saved. As the backup process starts, all LMT panels are unavailable and
the only action the user may do is to stop (Abort) the backup procedure (see following Fig).
Backup BTS - Get Progress Bar
The previous Backup window informs the user about the type of operation in progress, the name of the
backup configuration that is being stored ("Backup1" in the example), the type and version of the
connected BTS (Btsep BR 8.0) and the amount of BTS data that has been stored (progress bar). The
user is only allowed to stop the Backup procedure by clicking on the “Abort” button. By clicking the “Abort”
button on the progress bar window, the backing up process is stopped and no configuration is saved.

Backup BTS - Operation Completed
Finally, the confirmation of the configuration is acquired and stored.
The user has now created an “image” of the BTS configuration which is stored locally in the Backup BTS
directory of the LMT installation: however if the user manually modifies the files stored in such directory
the correct execution of the back up procedure is not granted anymore and the load should be reinstalled.
Once the configuration has been stored, the user can choose to repeat the entire procedure (Get) or to
continue working with LMT (OK).
4.3 Copy the Script File to Disk

Copy the script files from [Drive]:\[LMT_Root]\BKBTS\BTSPLUS to some storage media and keep it at the
site in case a backup copy of the BTSE configuration is needed.
5 Visual Inspection
5.1 Visual Inspection of BTSE Mechanics
A visual inspection of all delivered racks must be executed to secure that these racks are not damaged
and the quantity and location of the modules is correct.
5.1.1 Racks of BS-240 / 240 II / 240XL / 240XL II
A BS-240 / 240 II consists of one Base Rack, 1–2 Extension Racks (one Extension Rack for BS-240XL/
240XL II rack number 1), and 1–5 Service Racks. The numbering of the racks is shown in the following
table.

configurations are called Star (single), Loop (several in circle), Multidrop (several), and Cross Connect. In
case of a STAR link, only PCM1 must be wired. For LOOP and MULTIDROP links, PCM one and two are
necessary.
Star/Loop/Multidrop/Cross Connect Configuration
5.3.2 Antenna Connection

Check the connection of TX and RX coax jumper cables.

5.3.2.1 TX Antenna Connection
The TX antenna coax jumper cable must be directly connected to the 7/16" FICOM/(F)DUAMCO antenna
connector.
5.3.2.2 RX Antenna Connection

The RX antennas are connected via a jumper cable to the inputs N_female on the DIAMCO and 7/16" on
the (F)DUAMCO. For diversity use, the (F)DUAMCO / DIAMCOmust be connected to two antennas.
(F)DUAMCO uses the same jumper cable for TX and RX path. The DIAMCO is connected via jumper
cable (see below Table).
RF System Cabling
There are several RF boards interconnected with RF-cables. Check whether the corresponding Carrier
Units (CU modules) are connected to their branching equipment FICOM, (F)DUAMCO, DIAMCO.
Handle with extreme care when connecting/changing modules!
