1 Overview

1.1 Presentation
This scenario is applicable if: There is no change in the BTS configuration (e.g. no TRE, sector, GPRS addition/removal during the operation) When the type of TRE is changed, the TRE frequency band remains unchanged When the ANX is changed to ANC, ANB, AGX, AGY, AGC and AGC9P, the sector frequency band remains unchanged The ANB boards can only be used for reduced configurations.

1.1.1 Cases
The following cases apply: C1: Replace TRE modules: C1.1: Replace one or several TREs with Evolution TREs (EDGE compatible) C1.2: Replace one TRE/TRA with a TWIN TRA (1 TRX, Non-TX-Div, 2 RX-Div) C1.3: Replace two TRE/TRA with a TWIN TRA (2 TRX, Non-TX-Div, 2 RX-Div). C2: Replace an old SUM board with a new SUM board, where old SUM board can be SUMP or SUMA and new SUM board can be SUMA or SUMX. C3: Replace one or several ANx (ANX, ANC, ANB) modules with ANC, ANB, AGX, AGY, AGC or AGC9P modules, without SUM board move C4: Replace one or several ANx (ANX, ANC, ANB) modules with ANC, ANB or AGX, AGY, AGC or AGC9P modules, with SUM board move.

Note:

Several cases can be combined at the same time. For the reduced configurations, the ANX modules can be replaced by the ANB boards.

1.1.2 Options
None.

1.1.3 Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to 9100 BTS: For 9100 BTS Mini 3x1 TRE (indoor and outdoor), ANX cannot be replaced with ANC (even if all ANX are replaced with ANC) With the old subrack version (STASR 3BK 07193 AAxx), ANX must not be replaced with ANC or with ANB (no holes for ANC or ANB screws).
