6.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY

The cabinet physical installation (and particularly its hoisting in a high site) must be

postponed in case of windy weather without using a shelter.

Never remove any internal module or cable

7 IMPACTS ON THE NETWORK

In preliminary operations, the OMC-R database is updated to include the data of the

new BTS.

During software downloading, some alarms may appear at the OMC-R, which are

parts of the operation. Just follow the instructions contained in this document,

waiting the necessary time.

For information, the downloading times are 5 to 15 minutes.

During the communication tests, special care should be taken not to disturbcommercial service. Preferably, use a mobile able to communicate on barred cells, so

that nobody else can connect on this BTS.

8 QUALITY CONTROL

All cases of non-compliance should be recorded as they occur and summarized

clearly on the report sheet.

For corrective actions, refer to the coordinator.

SHEET S10 Communication test

INITIAL STATUS:

The site is enabled.

The cell is barred and incoming handovers are prohibited.

ACTIONS:

There are 2 ways of performing a communication test.

The following tests should be performed by the commissioner and checked by the OMC-R for

each TRX:

At least 1 call on an even TS for each TRX on the main path.

At least 1 call - mobile originated - to the OMC-R via PSTN for each cell (voice

quality check) for main.

At least 1 call - mobile terminated - from the OMC-R via PSTN for each cell (voice

quality check) for main.

A. Use of a mobile able to communicate on barred cells

1. Go away from the BTS site (100 meters if possible), within the area covered by the sector

to test.

2. On the mobile, set the following parameters: Cell barred, forced BCCH, inhibit

handovers, and activate the debug mode.

3. Check with OMC-R that the BCCH frequency corresponds to the right BCC (BSIC=

NCC + BCC is displayed on the mobile) (Sheet CT1).

4. Place the following calls (one call to another mobile located on the BTS site validates 2

time slots):

If no Frequency Hopping, one call on an odd time slot, on each frequency of the

cell. The help of the OMC-R is not required.

If Frequency Hopping, one call on an odd time slot, on each TRX of the cell,

checking with OMC-R technician (Sheet CT1) on which TRX is the call.

At least 2 calls per cell with the OMC-R, one being originated by the OMC-R, and

check the voice quality.

5. Report the results in the Report Sheet.

6. Perform the same tests as above (steps 2 to 8) on the even time slots.

7. If required by the project, place calls on emergency numbers and report the result in the

Report Sheet.

B. Use of a standard debug mobile1. Ask the OMC-R technician to unbar only the cell to test (Sheet CT5).

2. Go away from the BTS site (100 meters at least), within the area covered by the sector to

test.

3. If a debug mobile is used, activate the debug mode.

4. Check with OMC-R the information displayed on the mobile screen: the BCCH

frequency should correspond to the right BCC (BSIC is displayed on the mobile = NCC +

BCC).

5. Once this is checked, place some calls (one call to another mobile located on BTS site

validates 2 time slots):

If no Frequency Hopping, place one call on an odd time slot, on each frequency of

the cell. Ask the OMC-R to confirm (Sheet CT5).

If Frequency Hopping, place calls on each TRX, checking with OMC-R the TRX

position of the call.

Place at least 2 calls with the OMC-R, one being originated by the OMC-R, and

check the voice quality.

Note: If it is a Network extension, ask OMC-R technician to visualize in the same

time, the traffic activity on the cell, with Performance Monitor tool (Sheet

CT5).

1. Report the results in the Report Sheet.

2. If required by the project, perform calls on emergency numbers on a cell and report the

result in the Report Sheet.

FINAL STATUS:

The communication tests are completed for the e-cell.
