General warnings

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

General warnings
Introduction
Observe the following warnings during all phases of operation, installation and maintenance of the equipment described in the Motorola GSM manuals. Failure to comply with these warnings, or with specific warnings elsewhere in the Motorola GSM manuals, violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Motorola assumes no liability for the customers failure to comply with these requirements.

Warning labels
Personnel working with or operating Motorola equipment must comply with any warning labels fitted to the equipment. Warning labels must not be removed, painted over or obscured in any way.

Specific warnings
Warnings particularly applicable to the equipment are positioned on the equipment and within the text of this manual. These must be observed by all personnel at all times when working with the equipment, as must any other warnings given in text, on the illustrations and on the equipment.

High voltage
Certain Motorola equipment operates from a dangerous high voltage of 230 V ac single phase or 415 V ac three phase mains which is potentially lethal. Therefore, the areas where the ac mains power is present must not be approached until the warnings and cautions in the text and on the equipment have been complied with. To achieve isolation of the equipment from the ac supply, the mains input isolator must be set to off and locked. Within the United Kingdom (UK) regard must be paid to the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. There may also be specific country legislation which need to be complied with, depending on where the equipment is used.

RF radiation
High RF potentials and electromagnetic fields are present in the base station equipment when in operation. Ensure that all transmitters are switched off when any antenna connections have to be changed. Do not key transmitters connected to unterminated cavities or feeders. Refer to the following standards: S S ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300GHz. CENELEC 95 ENV 50166-2, Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields High Frequency (10kHz to 300GHz).

Laser radiation
Do not look directly into fibre optic cables or optical data in/out connectors. Laser radiation can come from either the data in/out connectors or unterminated fibre optic cables connected to data in/out connectors.

Human exposure to radio frequency energy (PCS1900 only)

Human exposure to radio frequency energy (PCS1900 only)


Introduction
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy. It should be installed and maintained only by trained technicians. Licensees of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) using this equipment are responsible for insuring that its installation and operation comply with FCC regulations designed to limit human exposure to RF radiation in accordance with the American National Standards Institute IEEE Standard C95.1-1991, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300GHz.

Definitions
This standard establishes two sets of maximum permitted exposure limits, one for controlled environments and another, that allows less exposure, for uncontrolled environments. These terms are defined by the standard, as follows:

Uncontrolled environment
Uncontrolled environments are locations where there is the exposure of individuals who have no knowledge or control of their exposure. The exposures may occur in living quarters or workplaces where there are no expectations that the exposure levels may exceed those shown for uncontrolled environments in the table of maximum permitted exposure ceilings.

Controlled environment
Controlled environments are locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by persons who are aware of the potential for exposure as a concomitant of employment, by other cognizant persons, or as the incidental result of transient passage through areas where analysis shows the exposure levels may be above those shown for uncontrolled environments but do not exceed the values shown for controlled environments in the table of maximum permitted exposure ceilings.

Maximum permitted exposures


The maximum permitted exposures prescribed by the standard are set in terms of different parameters of effects, depending on the frequency generated by the equipment in question. At the frequency range of this Personal Communication System equipment, 1930-1970MHz, the maximum permitted exposure levels are set in terms of power density, whose definition and relationship to electric field and magnetic field strengths are described by the standard as follows:

Power density (S)


Power per unit area normal to the direction of propagation, usually expressed in units of watts per square metre (W/m2) or, for convenience, units such as milliwatts per square centimetre (mW/cm2). For plane waves, power density, electric field strength (E) and magnetic field strength (H) are related by the impedance of free space, 377 ohms. In particular,
2 S + E + 377 377

H2 where E and H are expressed in units of V/m and A/m, respectively, and S in units of W/m 2. Although many survey instruments indicate power density units, the actual quantities measured are E or E2 or H or H2.

Human exposure to radio frequency energy (PCS1900 only)

Maximum permitted exposure ceilings


Within the frequency range, the maximum permitted exposure ceiling for uncontrolled environments is a power density (mW/cm2) that equals f/1500, where f is the frequency expressed in MHz, and measurements are averaged over a period of 30 minutes. The maximum permitted exposure ceiling for controlled environments, also expressed in mW/cm 2, is f/300 where measurements are averaged over 6 minutes. Applying these principles to the minimum and maximum frequencies for which this equipment is intended to be used yields the following maximum permitted exposure levels: Uncontrolled Environment 1930MHz Ceiling 1970MHz Controlled Environment 1930MHz 1970MHz

1.287mW/cm 2 1.313mW/cm 2 6.433mW/cm 2 6.567mW/cm 2

If you plan to operate the equipment at more than one frequency, compliance should be assured at the frequency which produces the lowest exposure ceiling (among the frequencies at which operation will occur). Licensees must be able to certify to the FCC that their facilities meet the above ceilings. Some lower power PCS devices, 100 milliwatts or less, are excluded from demonstrating compliance, but this equipment operates at power levels orders of magnitude higher, and the exclusion is not applicable. Whether a given installation meets the maximum permitted exposure ceilings depends, in part, upon antenna type, antenna placement and the output power to which this equipment is adjusted. The following example sets forth the distances from the antenna to which access should be prevented in order to comply with the uncontrolled and controlled environment exposure limits as set forth in the ANSI IEEE standards and computed above.

Example calculation
For a base station with the following characteristics, what is the minimum distance from the antenna necessary to meet the requirements of an uncontrolled environment? Transmit frequency Base station cabinet output power, P Antenna feeder cable loss, CL Antenna input power Pin Antenna gain, G Using the following relationship: G + 4pr W Pin
2

1930MHz +39.0 dBm (8 watts) 2.0dB PCL = +39.02.0 = +37.0dB (5watts) 16.4dBi (43.65)

Where W is the maximum permissible power density in W/m2 and r is the safe distance from the antenna in metres, the desired distance can be calculated as follows: r+ GPin + 4pW 43.65 5 + 1.16m 4p 12.87 where W = 12.87 W/m2 was obtained from table listed above and converting from mW/cm 2 to W/m2. NOTE The above result applies only in the direction of maximum radiation of the antenna. Actual installations may employ antennas that have defined radiation patterns and gains that differ from the example set forth above. The distances calculated can vary depending on the actual antenna pattern and gain.

Power density measurements


While installation calculations such as the above are useful and essential in planning and design, validation that the operating facility using this equipment actually complies will require making power density measurements. For information on measuring RF fields for determining compliance with ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991, see IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measure of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave, IEEE Std C95.3-1991. Copies of IEEE C95.1-1991 and IEEE C95.3-1991 may be purchased from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., Attn: Publication Sales, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscattaway, NJ 08855-1331, (800) 678-IEEE or from ANSI, (212) 642-4900. Persons responsible for installation of this equipment are urged to consult these standards in determining whether a given installation complies with the applicable limits.

Other equipment
Whether a given installation meets ANSI standards for human exposure to radio frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment but also on whether the environments being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure. Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating facilities that exist at the time the licensees equipment is being installed or even by equipment installed later. Therefore, the effects of any such facilities must be considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation meets the FCC requirements.

Beryllium health and safety precautions

Beryllium health and safety precautions


Introduction
Beryllium (Be), is a hard silver/white metal. It is stable in air, but burns brilliantly in Oxygen. With the exception of the naturally occurring Beryl ore (Beryllium Silicate), all Beryllium compounds and Beryllium metal are potentially highly toxic.

Health issues
Beryllium Oxide is used within some components as an electrical insulator. Captive within the component it presents no health risk whatsoever. However, if the component should be broken open and the Beryllium Oxide, which is in the form of dust, released, there exists the potential for harm.

Inhalation
Inhalation of Beryllium Oxide can lead to a condition known as Berylliosis, the symptoms of Berylliosis are similar to Pneumonia and may be identified by all or any of the following: Mild poisoning causes fever, shortness of breath, and a cough that produces yellow/green sputum, or occasionally bloodstained sputum. Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and chest with discomfort, possibly pain, and difficulty with swallowing and breathing. Severe poisoning causes chest pain and wheezing which may progress to severe shortness of breath due to congestion of the lungs. Incubation period for lung symptoms is 220 days. Exposure to moderately high concentrations of Beryllium in air may produce a very serious condition of the lungs. The injured person may become blue, feverish with rapid breathing and raised pulse rate. Recovery is usual but may take several months. There have been deaths in the acute stage. Chronic response. This condition is more truly a general one although the lungs are mainly affected. There may be lesions in the kidneys and the skin. Certain features support the view that the condition is allergic. There is no relationship between the degree of exposure and the severity of response and there is usually a time lag of up to 10 years between exposure and the onset of the illness. Both sexes are equally susceptible. The onset of the illness is insidious but only a small number of exposed persons develop this reaction.

First aid
Seek immediate medical assistance. The casualty should be removed immediately from the exposure area and placed in a fresh air environment with breathing supported with Oxygen where required. Any contaminated clothing should be removed. The casualty should be kept warm and at rest until medical aid arrives.

Beryllium health and safety precautions

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

Skin contact
Possible irritation and redness at the contact area. Persistent itching and blister formations can occur which usually resolve on removal from exposure.

First aid
Wash area thoroughly with soap and water. If skin is broken seek immediate medical assistance.

Eye contact
May cause severe irritation, redness and swelling of eyelid(s) and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes.

First aid
Flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

Handling procedures
Removal of components from printed circuit boards (PCBs) is to take place only at Motorola approved repair centres. The removal station will be equipped with extraction equipment and all other protective equipment necessary for the safe removal of components containing Beryllium Oxide. If during removal a component is accidently opened, the Beryllium Oxide dust is to be wetted into a paste and put into a container with a spatula or similar tool. The spatula/tool used to collect the paste is also to be placed in the container. The container is then to be sealed and labelled. A suitable respirator is to be worn at all times during this operation. Components which are successfully removed are to be placed in a separate bag, sealed and labelled.

Disposal methods
Beryllium Oxide or components containing Beryllium Oxide are to be treated as hazardous waste. All components must be removed where possible from boards and put into sealed bags labelled Beryllium Oxide components. These bags must be given to the safety and environmental adviser for disposal. Under no circumstances are boards or components containing Beryllium Oxide to be put into the general waste skips or incinerated.

Product life cycle implications


Motorola GSM and analogue equipment includes components containing Beryllium Oxide (identified in text as appropriate and indicated by warning labels on the equipment). These components require specific disposal measures as indicated in the preceding (Disposal methods) paragraph. Motorola will arrange for the disposal of all such hazardous waste as part of its Total Customer Satisfaction philosophy and will arrange for the most environmentally friendly disposal available at that time.

Devices sensitive to static


Introduction
Certain metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices embody in their design a thin layer of insulation that is susceptible to damage from electrostatic charge. Such a charge applied to the leads of the device could cause irreparable damage. These charges can be built up on nylon overalls, by friction, by pushing the hands into high insulation packing material or by use of unearthed soldering irons. MOS devices are normally despatched from the manufacturers with the leads shorted together, for example, by metal foil eyelets, wire strapping, or by inserting the leads into conductive plastic foam. Provided the leads are shorted it is safe to handle the device.

Special handling techniques


In the event of one of these devices having to be replaced observe the following precautions when handling the replacement: S S S S S S Always wear an earth strap which must be connected to the electrostatic point (ESP) on the equipment. Leave the short circuit on the leads until the last moment. It may be necessary to replace the conductive foam by a piece of wire to enable the device to be fitted. Do not wear outer clothing made of nylon or similar man made material. A cotton overall is preferable. If possible work on an earthed metal surface. Wipe insulated plastic work surfaces with an anti-static cloth before starting the operation. All metal tools should be used and when not in use they should be placed on an earthed surface. Take care when removing components connected to electrostatic sensitive devices. These components may be providing protection to the device.

When mounted onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), MOS devices are normally less susceptible to electrostatic damage. However PCBs should be handled with care, preferably by their edges and not by their tracks and pins, they should be transferred directly from their packing to the equipment (or the other way around) and never left exposed on the workbench.

Base Transceiver Station (BTS)

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

Base Transceiver Station (BTS)


Overview
The function of the BTS is to provide the radio link to the MS, to enable the user of the MS to initiate or receive and to maintain a telephone call. Each BTS can contain up to six cells, which define the area of the BTSs radio coverage. There are several hardware / software entities which form together within the BTS to perform these tasks. These entities, considered generically, include the following:

RX/TX Modules
These provide the modulation/demodulation and the amplification of the downlink to the MS and uplink from the MS. It also provides the raw data to measure the signal strength and quality of the two-way link.

Radio Control Software


This software controls the RX/TX module functionality. This includes setting the amplification, frequency and instructing the radio when to transmit. It also controls functions such as receive equalization, which improves signal quality and the formatting of the signal strength and quality information to be passed onto further entities.

GSM Control software


As the link between the BTS and MS needs to follow the GSM specifications it needs to be controlled by a dedicated software section. This software controls the Layer 1 physical formatting of the air interface. This process includes configuring of the air interface links for the GSM Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) format, formatting the data in each timeslot on that link, and also helps in controlling the paging and access grant messages. It processes the signal strength and quality information from the radio control software, passing it to the BSC. This information is used to make sure the BTS-MS link is maintained at a good quality level or the MS is handed over to another cell/BTS.

Static Switch
This section switches the channels containing traffic from the radio sections of the BTS to the terrestrial connections section, thus connecting the air interface channel with the rest of the network and eventually to another party. The static switch also routes any control information sent from entities further up in the network to the correct controlling software, usually the resident on the control processor. The static switch means that once it has been initialized it will keep the switching matrix the same all the time, thus keeping the same connections routed through.

Terrestrial Interface
The terrestrial interface provides the necessary connection to the network via a suitable link. This interface provides the correct formatting and impedance matching to the relevant physical link. The most common link types are 2.048Mbit/s E1 link or 1.544Mbit/s T1 link.

Control Processor
The control processor is the main processor of the site and can really be split into three main areas: S Site Control This section is in control of the main processes and hardware to maintain the site integrity. The main functions include internal data bus control and initialization of the site at power up as well as reporting any faults or operational problems back to the controlling BSC further up in the network. S GSM Call Processing Although the GSM control software looks after the link to MS from a very basic level (i.e. Layer 1 process implementing the physical air interface link). The GSM call processings role is that of call management. This process is used to interface GSM control messaging from the BSC to the GSM control software and to activate the allocated timeslot ready for the call to take place. S GSM Timeslot Monitoring The GSM timeslot monitoring process manages the air interface timeslot usage, keeping a database of which timeslots are being used and for what purpose, recording the interference levels on each idle timeslot, prioritizing them for future use. Upon a request for a call, this process allocates the best available timeslot, dependant on interference level.

Synchronizing clock
As all the above processes need specific and accurate timing signals, each BTS will be equipped with a clock to make sure everything is synchronized.

BSCBTS Interconnection Requirements

BSCBTS Interconnection Requirements


Overview
The BSCBTS interconnection is provided by 64kbit/s timeslots on 2 Mbit/s links. These 2 Mbit/s links are interfaced at the BSC by using the terrestrial interface boards. Terrestrial interface boards can interface two independent 2 Mbit/s links with each 2 Mbit/s link, providing 31 usable 64 Kbit/s timeslots. The first timeslot being used by the interfaces to synchronize the link as well as provide basic error detection. To calculate the required number of 64 Kbit/s timeslots required between a BSC and BTS site, the site must be viewed as consisting of its own equipment and also the equipment at any sites that are connected to it. However, the amount of 64 Kbit/s timeslots to a BTS site must always be calculated so the interconnection feature can be planned. In the GSM transmission system, the speech data between the BSC and BTS is encoded into 16 Kbit/s channels using the GSM defined format. As the E1 link utilizes 64 Kbit/s timeslots, using sub-rate multiplexing we can allocate upto 4 X 16 Kbit/s channels per timeslot. Each active radio will have, at a BTS site, an associated Receive / Transmit Function (RTF) to send the speech data back to the BSC and the rest of the network. Each RTF has data from 8 timeslots on the air interface therefore, it requires 2 x 64 Kbit/s timeslots on the E1 link to support its traffic data. The E1 link must also carry control informaton to and from a BTS site using a Radio Signalling Link (RSL), as described in section 3. Each BTS site will require a minimum of 1 LAPD signalling link, utilising 1 x 64Kbit/s timeslot or 1 x 16Kbit/s channel.

BSCBTS Interconnection Configuration

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

BSCBTS Interconnection Configuration


in GSM each BTS connected to a BSC requires a minimum of 1 RSL and sufficient RTFs for the radios located at the site. This remains a requirement even if the BTS is not directly connected to the BSC; in the case of daisy chained BTSs for example. The total number of E1 link timeslots containing information required by any BTS site must equal timeslots containing information for that site, plus timeslots containing information for all other sites connected to it.

BSS MMI functions

BSS initialization process


The Initialization Process (IP) may load code from three sources: S S S GPROC. Operation and Maintenance Centre (OMCR). LAN connection to a Personal Computer (PC).

Upon initialization, code is loaded on the BSS. Initialization occurs when the BSS is reset, the existing code is damaged, or a new version of code exists.

Early MMI interaction


The MMI prompt will be presented before the initialization process is complete. Early interaction is only permitted with CM process commands.

Security management
Passwords are required to access the system. These ensure that only authorized persons have access, and establishes a system/command permissions level commensurate with the person. If an incorrect password is entered, access to a security level is denied. Also, passwords may be changed in accordance with the parameters shown in the chg_level and chg_password command descriptions.

Fault management
Fault Management commands are used to display and modify the administrative state of devices or functions. Alarms are one example of this type of control.

Configuration management
Configuration Management commands are used to: S S S S Configure the Base Station System (BSS). Populate the database during SYSGEN. Modify the CM database. Display information from the CM database.

Call Processing (CP)


Call Processing (CP) commands are used to trace the progress of a specified call, via random trace, either by call rate, or SCCP connection number. The total data resulting from the call progress events can be collected for later analysis.

Central statistics processing


Statistics commands are used to: S S S S S Enable/Disable statistics. Display/Modify statistics for devices or cells. Modify statistics time interval for system. Monitor active (enabled) statistics for system. Report statistics data.

Miscellaneous commands
Miscellaneous commands are those that do not conveniently fit into the categories already outlined. These commands are used to: S S S S S S Begin/End a SYSGEN session. Reset the entire BSS. Clear database contents. Display/Modify time function (time-stamp). Display version of a software load. Perform miscellaneous procedures, such as displaying the DTE link address, ROM checksum, and so on.

Command/database parameter security levels

Command/database parameter security levels


Security levels
There are three security levels provided in the system to control command and database access. Access to each level is controlled using passwords. Each command in the system is assigned a security level. Refer to the command description for a specific command security level.

Level 1
This level permits the display of system parameters. Access is restricted primarily to system monitoring commands.

Level 2
This level permits access to all system commands, including the ability to change the system database. This security level also permits the operator to change passwords for both Level 1 and Level 2 users.

Level 3
This level provides all of the features accessible in security Level 2 plus the executive monitor. Two passwords are used to access security Level 3. The passwords for this level may not be changed unless the Optional Level 3 Password Feature is purchased. This feature will enhance BSS security by allowing the Level 3 passwords to be changed in the event the Level 3 passwords are compromised.

Command/database parameter types

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

Command/database parameter types


Types
MMI commands and database parameters are classified on the basis of whether or not a user action is required to enter the command or change the value of the database parameter.

Type A
No special user action is required to enter a Type A command or change a Type A database parameter.

Type B
The operator is required to perform one or more actions when entering a Type B command or changing a Type B database parameter. Operator actions may be required before or after the command entry or database change. Specific required actions are listed in the Operator actions section of each command and database parameter description.

Entering MMI commands

Entering MMI commands


Conventions
Commands are entered by typing the command string followed by pressing the Return key (or its equivalent). The following conventions are used to present command strings: S A character sequence that is enclosed in angle brackets <> represents a mandatory parameter, in which the string is replaced by a specific variable (value or character string). For example: <start_time_hour> is entered as an hour between 00 and 23. A character sequence in bold serif type as follows example represents a mandatory parameter that must be entered as is. For example: dri. Either character sequence as above, enclosed in [ ] indicates that the parameter is optional. For example: [<start_time_hour>] or [dri].

S S

Command syntax
The following guidelines must be followed when entering MMI commands. S Command names are case sensitive, and may not be entered as mixed upper and lower case characters in a command string. Where there are exceptions to this rule, this is made clear in the text. An underscore character _ must be used between command keywords, for example add_cell. A space character is used between parameters as a command separator.

Timeouts
If a response is not entered within 60 seconds, the command or response will be rejected. The following message is presented if a response is not entered within 60 seconds:
COMMAND REJECTED: No response to prompt.

Ambiguous command response


If the command name is entered incorrectly, the system will respond with a message stating that the entered command was ambiguous and will include a listing of commands with similar command names.

Example:
MMIRAM 0115 > disp_rtf
disp_rtf: Command ambiguous with: disp_rtf_calls disp_rtf_channel disp_rtf_path

Entering hexadecimal values


Some fields will accept hexadecimal values. If hexadecimal (hex) values are used: S S Lead the value with a 0 (zero). Type an h at the end of the value.

For example, the hexadecimal value for 255 is ff. To enter the hexadecimal value for 255, type: 0ffh

GSM cell ID format

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

GSM cell ID format


Cell id elements
Cell IDs are required parameter entries for many commands. The GSM cell id format consists of four fields: S S S S Mobile Country Code (MCC). Mobile Network Code (MNC). Location Area Code (LAC). Cell Identity (CI).

GSM cell IDs are typically displayed in the following format: 543 21 Where: 61986 (F222h) 543 21 61986 34944 34944 (8880h) is: MCC MNC LAC CI

NOTE The LAC and CI values may also be displayed as hexadecimal values in parentheses, depending on the command.

Input format
There are two types of input format that can be used. The format is set with the mmi_cell_id_format parameter. The different formats accept seven elements or four elements.

Seven-element format
The system uses the seven-element format when mmi_cell_id_format parameter=0. cell=5 4 3 2 1 Where: 5 4 3 2 1 61986 34944 61986 is: 34944

first digit of MCC second digit of MCC third digit of MCC first digit of MNC second digit of MNC LAC CI

This format cannot be used if the optional third MNC digit is necessary. It cannot be used in PCS1900 systems. It is valid for PGSM, EGSM and DCS 1800 systems.

GSM cell ID format

Four-element format
The system uses the four-element format when mmi_cell_id_format parameter=1. cell=543 021 61986 34944 Where: 5 4 3 0 2 1 61986 34944 is: first digit of MCC second digit of MCC third digit of MCC first digit MNC second digit of MNC third digit of MNC LAC CI

This format must be used if the optional third MNC digit is necessary. It must be used in PCS1900 systems. It may be used for PGSM, EGSM and DCS 1800 systems. If the first and/or second digit of the MCC is a zero, it may be omitted from the input. The system would recognize either of these examples as being in valid format: 001 011 98765 54321 1 011 98765 54321 NOTE If the third MNC digit is required, all three MNC digits must be entered. For example, if the MNC = 001, and the third MNC digit is required, the MNC must be entered as 001. If the MNC is entered as 01 or 1, the system will interpret the entry as MNC=01, which would be incorrect.

Cell name
Each GSM cell may also be assigned a cell name using the cell_name command. The cell_name may be used in place of the GSM cell id in most of the BSS MMI commands. Refer to the individual command descriptions to determine if the cell_name may be used for a specific command.

Indexes

ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

Indexes
Device indexes
Device indexes are used with the disp_element command for displaying information associated with the System Audit Process (SAP). Device Type KSW KSW (internal loopback tests) MSI DRI GCLK GPROC BSP BTP DHP SITE TDM For example, the command string disp_element sap_start_time,12 0 displays the audit start time for BSPs (index 12) at location 0. 2 4 6 8 12 14 16 18 20 Index 0 1

Data array location


An index is used to identify the location of information in a data array.

Single index number


A single index number may identify the column in a single row array where a data element is located. The following example shows the command string that would be used to display the value of the interference level for index level 0 (band 1), in an interfer_bands parameter. disp_element interfer_bands,0 1 cell=0 0 1 0 1 1 1

Two index numbers


Some statistical elements require two index numbers. The first index number is the row number. The second index number is the position of the element in the row. For example, the command string disp_element sap_audit_type,0,1 0 will display the value of the sap_audit_type parameter located in row 0, column 1 of a multi-row data array.

Indexes

Bins
A single row of a data array may be referred to as a bin. When a command uses bin numbers to specify the row in a data array, the index number will specify the position of the data element in the bin. The following represents an array with four bins with 32 elements in each bin: bin 0 [0 bin 1 [0 bin 2 [0 bin 3 [0 1 1 1 1 2 ... 2 ... 2 ... 2 ... 31] 31] 31] 31]

The following example shows the command string that would be used to assign or change the value of the rxlev_ul_ho parameter. The value of the parameter is located in the first column (index = 0) of the second bin (bin_num = 1) chg_act_alg_data rxlev_ul_ho 2 6 2 0 2 2868 3100 1 0 8,0 bin_num index The following example shows the command string that would be used to display the contents of a bin. The index value used with the disp_element command is the bin number that was used when assigning or changing the value of one of the elements of the parameter. disp_element rxlev_dl_ho,1 0 cell_number=2 6 2 0 2 2868 3100
rxlev_dl_ho = alg_num: 1 alg_data: 8 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Thresholds
Gauge and some counter statistics may be assigned thresholds. An alarm is sent to the OMCR when the threshold is exceeded. The severity of the alarm associated with a statistical parameter may be displayed using the disp_element command using an index value of 1. For example, the command string disp_element invalid_frames_rx,1 0 will display the severity of the alarm associated with the invalid_frames_rx statistical parameter invalid_frames_rx = 2 The following table shows the alarm severities: Alarm Number 1 2 3 4 5 Severity Investigate Critical Major Minor Warning

EAS alarm table


The EAS table consists of 34 indexed pairs. Each pair includes a severity level and up to 24 text characters. Both the text and severity level are assigned when the EAS alarm table is initialized using the chg_eas_alarm command, After initialization, the text and severity level can be displayed independently using the disp_element eas_alarm or the disp_element eas_severity commands respectively. The severity level may be modified independently using the chg_element eas_severity command.

BSC Initialization
LANLOAD/SYSG EN
The lanload utility is the only method available to input code objects to a BSC if connectivity to an OMC is unavailable. The equipment required to carry out a Lanload is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 1 x PC with Lanload programme and Code Objects installed. 1 x Xircom card fitted into PC. 1 x Token Ring adaptor, with 2 fibre optic cables.

The following text describes the procedure for using the lanload tool, combined with Sysgen, to input code objects and a valid database to bring a BSC online, and ultimately to operational status. 1. 2. Ensure all digital boards and cabinet components are correctly installed and secured prior to applying power. Apply power to the BSSC2 cabinet and ensure circuit breakers for the power supply modules are switched to the on position.

Note: If the BSSC2 cabinet is already powered up prior to step 1, remove power and re-seat the GPROC cards. This will have the effect of making sure no residual code object information remains on the cards in the DRAM. Once the GPROC cards are back in their correct positions proceed from step 2. 3. 4. Connect a PC, with the Procom Plus application installed, to the master GPROC as described in chapter 9 of BSS11 MMI. At the PC select security level 3 by entering the chg_level command.The chg_level command will result in a prompt appearing for the user to enter the password for level 2. Following a correct response a second prompt will request the password for level 3 to be input. A correct response at this stage will leave the user at level 3. At level 3 the user can now enter the executive monitor (EMON) by pressing Controln on the keyboard.This shows the current process the Initialization Process (IP) is running in ROM, in an attempt to bring the site up in to a fully operational state. The user now has to commence the Lanload procedure to load the code objects on to the GPROCs at the site.To do this first remove the loopback from the fibre optic ports on the LANX card in the halfsize card shelf. Connect a PC, with the Lanload software and code objects installed, to the fibre optic ports on the LANX card.

5.

6.

Note: Removing the fibre optic loopback from the LANX card will cause the site to reset, restarting the IP. If the PC is operating correctly on the LAN then the top 4 lights on the Lan adaptor will be illuminated. 7. Start the Lanload software application.The PC connected to the LANX card will now be seen by the IP as another GPROC on the LAN, with code objects. Once all the GPROCs have announced themselves onto the LAN then Alt9 will jump to the next stage. (Otherwise the cabinet will wait for 1.5 minutes for any other GPROCs to come onto the LAN). The IP will crossload the code objects from the PC to all the GPROCs on the LAN. Once the crossload is successful the IP will jump to RAM.

BSC Initialization

8.

Upon initialization in RAM, the IP will look for a link to the OMC. The system will wait for 6 minutes for this link to be established. Press Alt9 to bypass this period. Once in RAM the IP checks for a valid database. If loaded as a code object this would have appeared as code object 2. If code object 2 is not detected the IP will prompt the user to enter sysgen mode, allowing a database to be input as a text file. Sysgen_mode on must be entered at the prompt (at level 3). The user will have 45secs to do this before the IP resets back to the beginning of ROM. Once sysgen_mode on is entered the user is requested to reset the site. The BSC can be reset in one of two ways, either by entering the reset_site command or by removing the fibre optic connections between the Lanload PC and the LANX card, and replacing the fibre optic loopback. Once the site is reset and sysgen mode entered the user must enter the script database file, an ASCII text file. Before entering the new database the command clear_data must be entered. The new database can now be selected and uploaded from the PC connected to the master GPROC. If using Procom Plus, select page up. This will open the window entitled Upload protocols. From the list of available protocols press A to select ASCII. The ASCII upload window will now open allowing a full path and file name to be entered at the prompt: e.g. c:\somerset.scp for the database file somerset.scp stored on the cdrive. Press the return key after typing in the correct path and filename to start uploading the database to the master GPROC.

9.

10.

After the database upload is complete the command sysgen_mode off is required to be entered. This will be done automatically if the command is written at the end of the database script file. Before the sysgen_mode off command is accepted a validity check is carried out on the database. If it is found not to be a good database the IP remains in sysgen and corrections required to the database script file need to be made by the user. Once it is found to be a valid database the sysgen_mode off command will be accepted and the database will be cross-loaded to the other GPROCs over the LAN. The IP now hands control over to the Central Authority process, which continues with the site initialization and configuration in accordance with the database script file. The Lanload and sysgen operations are now complete. Once the site initialisation is complete MMI commands can be input in accordance with the BSS command reference manual.

SYSGEN mode
SYSGEN OFF
The SYSGEN OFF mode is the normal system mode of operation. The sysgen_mode off command is used to place the system in the SYSGEN OFF mode. If the system is in the SYSGEN ON mode and the sysgen_mode off command is entered, any changes made to the database will be checked.
*******VERIFYING DATABASE BEFORE COMPLETING SYSGEN******* Frequency hopping verification in progress. SITE 0 Verification. DB Verification passed. COMMAND ACCEPTED.

After the system initializes, it will be in the SYSGEN OFF mode. If the system is in the SYSGEN OFF mode and the sysgen_mode off command is entered, the command will be rejected and the following message will be displayed:
COMMAND REJECTED: sysgen mode is already off

SYSGEN ON
The system must be placed in the SYSGEN ON mode of operation to enter some commands or change some parameters. When the system is in the SYSGEN ON mode, changes may be entered into the database without being checked until the system is returned to its normal mode of operation. CAUTION Do NOT enter the sysgen_mode on or the sysgen_mode off commands at the OMC-R. If the system is in the SYSGEN OFF mode and the sysgen_mode on command is entered, the system will prompt the user to reinitialize the site.
COMMAND ACCEPTED: You must reinit the site to start SYSGEN

If the system is in the SYSGEN ON mode and the sysgen_mode on command is entered, the command will be rejected and the following message will displayed:
COMMAND REJECTED: sysgen mode is already on

The system will reject the sysgen_mode command if it is entered at a GPROC that is not acting as the master GPROC.
COMMAND REJECTED: Command only allowed at active BSP.

Database changes in SYSGEN ON mode


In a network the BSC will be connected to an OMC. A copy of the BSC database is stored at the OMC. When a difference is detected between the database load in the OMC and the BSC, the OMC will automatically download a copy of the database in its memory to the BSC. Any changes made while the BSC was in the SYSGEN ON mode will be overwritten by the download from the OMC. If the changes to be made while the BSC is in SYSGEN ON mode are to be retained, the following procedure must be used: Step a. b. c. d. Action Disable downloads for network elements at the OMC. Enter the sysgen_mode on command at the BSC Enter the reset_site 0 command. After the system has reset, enter the commands or make the changes to the database as necessary. Caution: Commands must be entered within 10 minutes after the MMI RAM: prompt is presented. If a command is not entered, the system will reset. Enter the sysgen_mode off command at the BSC. After the system has returned to service, upload the modified database from the BSC to the OMC. This is done at the OMC. Re-enable downloads for network elements at the OMC.

Initial SYSGEN mode


The initial SYSGEN mode occurs when the system is placed in the SYSGEN ON mode without a Configuration Management (CM) database. The initial SYSGEN mode is used to load the CM database using a script. CAUTION The clear_database command should only be used by personnel who are fully aware of the consequences. The system is placed in the initial SYSGEN mode by placing the system in the SYSGEN ON mode then entering the clear_database command.

Scripts
A script is a file that contains a series of commands which load the CM database into the system. A script is loaded in the initial SYSGEN mode. This permits large amounts of information to be efficiently loaded onto the system. After the database is loaded using a script, the system must be returned to the SYSGEN OFF mode to verify the script contents. If errors are detected, the system will not return to the SYSGEN OFF mode. When this occurs, the script has to be corrected and reloaded before the system will be able to return to its normal operating state.

SYSGEN safety features


Automatic GPROC addition
If the initial SYSGEN mode is entered from a GPROC which is not included in the script, a GPROC will automatically be added to the slot from which the initial SYSGEN mode was entered. It is recommended that the initial SYSGEN mode be entered from the same type of system for which the database is being loaded. For example, if the script to be loaded is for an RXCDR, the initial SYSGEN mode should be entered from the master slot of an RXCDR (011ah). If the script to be loaded is for a BSS, the initial SYSGEN mode should be entered from the master slot of a BSC (0115h).

Safety timer
While the system is in the SYSGEN ON mode, a timer is used to insure that a GPROC cannot be left in the SYSGEN ON mode indefinitely. The timer is started when no activity is detected from the TTY terminal. If activity is detected before the timer expires, the timer will be reset to its initial value and restarted. If the timer expires, the GPROC will be reset with a Global Kill SWFM. Within the SWFM, a message will include a textual description that the timer expired.

CTU VSWR and cellsite offset information


VSWR and cellsite offsite information
The objective of the VSWR check and output power calibration procedure is to ensure that antenna feeders and connectors are properly terminated and then set the pre-defined maximum transmitter output power at the top of the cabinet. When a radio is manufactured, it undergoes comprehensive transmit and receive calibration procedures. These procedures aim to produce a radio that exhibits a flat frequency response over the GSM band. In the case of the transmitter, this is performed by distributing the channels over three detector groups (the detector being the device that maintains a steady output power level). In the field, the procedure for setting the transmit output power involves using a set of commands called Cell Site Power (CSPWR). During CSPWR the user can trim the cabinet output power to account for any abnormalities that may occur between the CTU and the top of the cabinet. The offset is effectively subtracted from the requested power level, such that for whatever channel is selected, a steady output is maintained at the top of the cabinet. There are two sets of procedures available for checking VSWR and cell site power: S S Normal CTU VSWR and cellsite power calibration. CTU VSWR and cellsite power calibration for CCBs.

The Preparing for test procedure at the end of this section should be completed before attempting the VSWR and cellsite power calibration procedures.

Test all antennas


VSWR checks ensure correct antenna matching and can prove the serviceability of the antenna. Repeat the procedures for all antennas on site, including receive antennas.

Preparing for test


To prepare for the VSWR check and output power calibration: 1. 2. 3. 4. If CCBs are fitted, set all DIP switches on the CCB control board to zero (this assists programming and checksum calculations). Connect the 9 to 9-way cable from the PC serial A port to MCU TTY port. At the PC start the terminal emulator program. Change to Level 3 and at the MMI-RAM> prompt type: ins_device # dri A * Where: # A * is: the number of the site logged into. the antenna/relative cell number (0 to 5). DRI number on the antenna.

NOTE The radio must be brought into service as there is no Flash EPROM storage of code at the radio control processor level. If a connection to the BSC is not available a PCMCIA commissioning card must be used. 5. Wait for the radio to finish initializing, then type lock_device # dri A * Where: # A * is: the number of the site logged into. the antenna/relative cell number (0 to 5). DRI number on the antenna.

WARNING An RF hazard exists during DRI transmissions. As one antenna may be connected to a number of DRIs, the lock command must be repeated for all DRIs on the antenna being worked on before connecting the wattmeter. NOTE For ease of calibration, all CTUs in a cell should be initialized and then locked. Always lock the transceiver providing the BCCH last, as this prevents the BCCH being switched to alternate transceivers.

Normal CTU VSWR and cellsite power calibration


Normal VSWR information
Two methods available for normal VSWR checking are described in this section; one automatic and one manual. The reason for the two methods is as follows:

VSWR Method 1 (automatic)


When typing the CSPWR command at the EQCP prompt, it effectively executes a small script containing the following commands: TS A CHAN 31 TS A CHAN 700 TS A TXP 00 MDLTR UC Set all timeslots to channel 31(CTU900) Set all timeslots to channel 700(CTU1800) Set all timeslots to full power Turn the modulation off

Prior to executing the CSPWR command, it assumes that the synthesizers are in normal mode (not locked), as is the case after the unit is powered up for the first time.

VSWR Method 2 (manual)


To allow a specific channel to be specified (instead of defaulting to channel 31 or 700) additional commands must be entered, rather than using the CSPWR command. One command sets the appropriate channel and the other switches the CTU output power on and off.

Normal CTU VSWR and cellsite power calibration

VSWR Method 1 (automatic)


The first method for normal VSWR checking uses automatic channel selection. The CSPWR command automatically selects a midpoint channel number (channel 31 or 700), but if required a manual process can be performed as shown in method 2.

Checking the VSWR


To check the VSWR of the transmission path: 1. 2. Disconnect antenna. Connect a dummy load to the meter and ensure the meter is fitted with a 50 W element. Connect the meter to the TX output. At the EQCP prompt type: .GSMFW TEST ACT C BBH ALARM OFF CSPWR 3. 4. 5. 6. Monitor and record the wattmeter reading (the forward output power). Press ESC or CTRL-Y or CTRL-C Replace the 50 W element in the wattmeter with a 5 W element and reverse the direction on the power meter. Remove the dummy load and connect the power meter through to the antenna. WARNING Full power is transmitted during VSWR checks. Ensure all personnel are clear of the antenna. Do not carry out this check unless antenna installation is complete. CAUTION To reduce the possibility of interference with other users, minimize the time that the radio is powered up. 7. At the EQCP TEST prompt type: CSPWR 8. Monitor and record the reverse power reading indicated on the power meter. NOTE Readings should show reflected (reverse) power of no more than 5% of the forward power at the point of measurement, but less than 1W. If the ratio of the forward and reverse readings is unacceptable, suspect an improper termination of the antenna feeder and connector. 9. 10. Press ESC or CTRL-Y or CTRL-C At the EQCP TEST prompt type: HALT C 11.

CTU VSWR and cellsite power calibration for CCBs


CCB calibration information
The Cavity Combining Block (CCB) combines the output of up to three radios to a common output, and up to six radios by use of an additional CCB(extension). The CCB(extension) output is an input to the CCB(output) for a single-antenna system. Every transmitted frequency will be attenuated by approximately 3.5 dB for a six cavity system and 2.7 dB in a three cavity system. NOTE All CCB commands are issued via the TTY port on a CTU. A Horizonmacro can support up to two CCB modules. There is a minimum of one CCB control board. The CCB control board is located at the front of the CCB beneath a screw down cover. If redundancy of the CCB control board is provided, both CCB modules will be equipped with a CCB control board. The CCB has an address which is defined in the database using the equip_device COMB command. The address can also be displayed by using the disp_equipment COMB command. The CCB control board has a set of eight DIP switches which are used to provide the binary representation of the address defined in the database. These switches have all been set to zero in the Preparing for test procedure. Once the cellsite power has been set the DIP switches should be returned to positions for the address defined in the database.

Example of DIP switch setting


If the combiner address is required to be 75 (hex 4B), the DIP switches will be set as Table 6-5. Table 6-5 Switch settings for example of value 75 Switch On/off for value 75 Binary value of each switch NOTE S S If CCB control board redundancy is supported, the dip switches must be set the same on both CCB control boards. 255 (all on) is not a valid address. 8 off 128 7 on 64 6 off 32 5 off 16 4 on 8 3 off 4 2 on 2 1 on 1

CCB control board details


The CCB control board is equipped with a green LED to indicate the presence of power. If a single CCB control board is used it must be in position 0, or the right of the cabinet when viewed from the front. If two CCB control boards are used, the one mounted on the right, looking from the front, will normally be the master. If this unit fails, the redundant unit will automatically assume control. The initial main/standby relationship is defined from the power connection to the top panel of the cabinet. The two CCB control boards receive power from different pins in the connector, this provides the main/ standby relationship. A fault or problem with the CCB control board is indicated by a red LED, which can be viewed from above. There is not a master/slave relationship as no CCB control board has any influence over the other. It is a main/standby relationship where each CCB control board is equally aware of what is happening with the CCB system, hence the ability for the standby CCB control board to take seamless control in the event of a problem with the main CCB control board. NOTE The CCB control board is sometimes referred to as the Transmit Antenna Transceiver Interface Control Board (TATI Control Board or TCB).

Calibrating Horizonmacro CTU bay level offset tables


Introduction
Follow this procedure to calibrate the bay level offset tables to compensate for the losses or gains due to preselectors and RF cabling from the antenna inputs at the Horizonmacro to the CTU input. NOTE This procedure applies only to the CTU. The CTU can only be used with software release GSR4 onwards. All units are factory calibrated. This procedure is thus necessary only if one of the following changes occur: S S S S A CTU is replaced. RF front end equipment is changed. The site is reconfigured. High power duplexers are fitted. NOTE The procedures contained in Calibrating Horizonmacro CTU bay level offset tables are to calibrate a single CTU. Repeat the procedures for all CTUs affected by the changes listed above.

Test equipment
The following test equipment is required: S S S S S S An IBM-compatible Personal Computer (PC). Terminal emulator software. A 50 ohm 50 W dummy load. A signal generator (0 to 2 GHz). 9 to 9-way cable. 9 to 9-way EQCP/RSS cable. CAUTION All test equipment and test leads must be calibrated annually by a recognized laboratory. Test equipment and test leads must not be calibrated in the field. Do not optimize Motorola Cellular Base Stations with test equipment that is beyond its calibration due date. Allow test equipment to warm up for 30 minutes before use.

Calibrating the MCUF (GCLK)


Introduction
This procedure explains how to calibrate the Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) in the GCLK on the MCUF in the Horizonmacro product at a BSS site.

When to calibrate the GCLK


This calibration procedure is to be used on the following occasions: S S When more than one frame slip per hour is observed at the OMC Whenever calibration is required. (Display the active alarms for a site, if calibration is required, there will be an alarm stating this.) CAUTION This procedure should only be carried out by by fully trained, GSM qualified personnel. Under NO circumstances should this procedure be undertaken, unless all the correct test equipment is readily available. NOTE S S S The command gclk_cal_mode used in this procedure should only be executed at the BTS where the calibration is being carried out. No call processing can occur involving the MCU during calibration mode. Allow a period of 30 minutes to elapse after switching the OCXO power on, to give sufficient time for the unit to reach operating temperature.

Test equipment required


The test equipment required to carry out the GCLK calibration is as follows: S S S S S An IBM compatible Personal Computer (PC). A 9 to 9 way TTY cable. Caesium or Rubidium clock standard with 1 or 10 MHz output frequency. Universal counter with external reference, for example, the Hewlett Packard model HP5385A or equivalent.

Test Procedure
CAUTION This procedure should only be carried out by by fully trained, GSM qualified personnel. Under NO circumstances should this procedure be undertaken, unless all the correct test equipment is readily available. NOTE S S No call processing can occur involving the MCUF during calibration mode. The command gclk_cal_mode used in this procedure should only be executed at the BTS where the calibration is being carried out.

1.

At the MMIRAM 1015 prompt type: gclk_cal_mode

The gclk_cal_mode command is used to tell the sync function and MCUF software that a calibration is to be performed. NOTE The gclk_cal_mode command can only be executed at Horizonmacro sites, outside of sysgen mode. The command is NOT allowed on a Master MCUF when a Standby MCUF is available. The system will prompt for the following verification when the command is executed: Site <local site number> starting GCLK CALIBRATION MODE. this is a single MCU site, the site will be down until calibration is complete. Are you sure (y=yes, n=no)? y If the user replies with anything other than y, the command is aborted. If the user replies y, the MCUF will begin calibration mode. 2. The user will then be prompted with the following: Frequency Counter Connected, Enter y when ready, or a to abort test y If the user replies with anything other than y, the command is aborted, and the calibration mode exited. NOTE Allow a period of 30 minutes to elapse after switching the OCXO power on, to give sufficient time for the unit to reach operating temperature. 3. Adjust the OCXO control voltage using the +/ and 0 to 3 keys until the measured frequency is exactly 8000,000000 Hz. If

The values entered here, change the frequency by varying degrees. For example, +0 will increase the output by a small amount. +1 will increase the frequency by approximately 10 times. +2 will increase the frequency by approximately 100 times. +3 will increase the frequency by approximately 1000 times. The above values are not exact as every OCXO has a different gain, this method gives sufficient control to pull-in the frequency within a short time.

Save the results by typing s that is:


Enter a to abort, s to save, +(0..3) to inc, (0..3) to dec >s CAL OFFSET is 23654 DAC bits.

After calibration, the MCUF applies a set of voltages to the DAC that feeds the OCXO, this requires the user to input the corresponding output frequency. This is because the OCXO frequency V voltage characteristic is not linear, and by taking readings across a range of DAC voltages, the MCU can make adjustments for non-linearity. 6. To calibrate the OCXO, gain, enter the measured frequency value from the counter after the value has settled in response to the MMI prompts.

When taking frequency measurements, ensure that a full gate period elapses from the time the new value is set to reading the counter. This wait may be up to seconds depending on the counter. A typical sequence of frequency measurements may be presented as follows:
Dac set to 1.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 7999.99853 Dac set to 2.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 7999.99915 Dac set to 3.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 7999.99969 Dac set to 4.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 8000.00020 Dac set to 5.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 8000.00070 Dac set to 6.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 8000.00122 Dac set to 7.0 volts, Enter Freq Value or a to abort > 8000.00176 Calibration Gain 3.865560e-01 SYNC>

7.

On completion the user should ensure that the Calibration Gain is between 0 and 1.5. Values other than this may indicate a poor OCXO, or an error in performing the procedure. The most common error is in reading the counter when locating the decimal point by eye. If the Calibration Gain value is not in the range, calibration should be performed again as a double check. If it fails a second time with the same or similar value, the OCXO, may be operating outside of the Motorola specification. If this occurs, the MCU is deemed faulty and should be replaced. Otherwise the calibration procedure is complete. NOTE The MCUF will be reset when the calibration is complete.

Customer BTS Configuration


Exercise
1. You are an Engineer currently situated at a BTS. Another BTS has been situated near to your location and is to be configured in a daisy chain through your current location. You are to physically connect the two BTSs, using the E1 links that will be made available to you by your instructor. You are to configure the link between the BSC and the new BTS. As the necessary codes will be downloaded from the BSC, you have to get the site to a state where it will be able to receive such a download across the link that you have configured. All the information you require to carry out this task is located within this manual, and in the Command Reference Manual, situated by your workstation.

Device and Function Dependency M-Cell


As with In-Cell sites a logical order exists with respect to equipping devices and functions in the CM. It is logical for example that an NIU be equipped before a path statement, as the path statement will nominate certain NIUs for its traffic route. The chart opposite shows the dependency chart in respect of M-Cell systems.

Suggested RF configurations
Overview of configuration diagrams
The following series of RF configuration diagrams show suggested ways of connecting together Horizonmacro SURF and Tx blocks to meet different operational requirements. The series of diagrams is by no means exhaustive, and numerous alternative configurations may be adopted to achieve the same aim. Each Horizonmacro cabinet is represented by a SURF module and three Tx blocks. Interconnecting cables are identified by a label; N01, 2, 3 or 4. Antenna connecting cables, not supplied as part of the Horizonmacro equipment, are shown in dotted lines. With the exception of Figure 7-20, each diagram is applicable to either EGSM 900 or DCS 1800 operation though the SURF module illustrated is an 1800 SURF. For EGSM 900 operation a 900 SURF (dual band) is required. Connections to the 900 SURF are identified in the same way as those to the 1800 SURF, with two additional connectors provided for dual band 1800 use. Figure 7-20 shows one way of achieving dual band operation using two Horizonmacro cabinets. An 1800 SURF is installed in one cabinet and a 900 SURF (dual band) in the other.
