Parameter
explanations
BCF identification
BCF = decimal number
With this parameter you identify the BCF. The value range depends on the BSC
hardware configuration and the corresponding options.
The parameter is obligatory.
BTS identification
BTS = decimal number
With this parameter you identify the BTS to be created. The value range depends
on the BSC hardware configuration and the corresponding options.
When the segment contains more than one BTS, the parameters which are not
presented are initialized with a SEG-specific value. See table SEG-specific
parameters in command C in section Additional information.
BTS name
NAME = text string
With this parameter you name the BTS. The name must be unique in the BSC.
The name can contain 1 to 15 characters. The following ASCII characters are
allowed: letters from A to Z and numerals from 0 to 9.
The default is that the BTS does not have a name.
SEG identification <option>
SEG = decimal number
With this parameter you identify the segment. The value range is the same as the
BTS identification value range.
If you give this parameter, the MML will check, according to the following table,
if the same SEG identification has been created earlier:
Issue 23-2 en

SEG identification does not exist: The segment is being created for the first time so all parameters
are presented. See table BTS-specific parameters in command
Cand SEG-specific parameters in command C in section
Additional information.
SEG identification exists: The segment has already been created earlier so now only BTS-
specific parameters are presented. See table SEG-specific
presented are initialised with SEG-specific values. See table SEG-specific
The default is the same as BTS identification number.
SEG name <option>
SEGNAME = text string
With this parameter you name the segment. The name must be unique in the BSC.
The name can contain 1 to 15 characters. The following ASCII characters are
allowed: letters from A to Z and numerals from 0 to 9.
If you give this parameter, the MML will check, according to the following table,
if the same segment name has been created earlier:
SEG name does not exist: The segment is being created for the first time so all parameters
are presented. See tables BTS-specific parameters in command

The default is the same as BTS name when you create a new segment.
reference BTS identification
REF = decimal number
With this parameter you identify the reference BTS. The value range depends on
the BSC hardware configuration and the corresponding options.
DN9813242
Issue 23-2 en
EQC CREATE BTS

If you give the parameter REF, you cannot give the parameter RNAME.
If a reference BTS is used, the system inquires the parameter values of that BTS
from the BSDATA. During creation, the reference BTS parameter values are used
for the required BTS parameters. The BCCH list relation is copied from the
reference BTS. Trunk reservation decision threshold table relations are also
copied from the reference BTS to the BTS traffic types. When the segment
contains more than one BTS, the BCCH list relation and Trunk reservation
decision threshold table relations are not copied from the reference BTS.
Background parameters are not copied from the reference BTS (see Radio
Network Configuration Management).
When the segment contains more than one BTS, only BTS-specific parameters
are copied to the BTS. When you create a new segment, BTS-specific and
segment-specific parameters are copied to the BTS. See section Additional
information.
If a reference BTS is not used, the system uses the default values for the required
BTS parameters during creation. See section Additional information. Background
parameters have not been defined as default (see Radio Network Configuration
Management).
reference BTS name
RNAME = text string
With this parameter you give the name of the reference BTS. The BTS name can
contain 1 to 15 characters.
If you give the parameter REF, you cannot give the parameter RNAME.
If a reference BTS is used, the system inquires the parameter values of that BTS
from the BSDATA. During creation, the reference BTS parameter values are used
for the required BTS parameters. The BCCH list relation is copied from the
reference BTS. Trunk reservation decision threshold table relations are also

EQA MODIFY MOBILE ALLOCATION FREQUENCY LIST USAGE PARAMETERS

With this parameter you identify the BTS with its number. The value range
depends on the BSC hardware configuration and the corresponding options.
You can enter several values at the same time by using the wild card characters &
and &&, when attaching or detaching the same DFCA mobile allocation
frequency list to several BTSs. The value ALL attaches or detaches the same
DFCA mobile allocation frequency list to or from all DFCA BTSs.
If you give the parameter BTS, you cannot give the parameter NAME.
BTS name
NAME = text string
With this parameter you identify the BTS with its name. The name can contain 1
to 15 characters.
You can enter several values at the same time by using the wild card character &,
when you attach or detach the same DFCA mobile allocation frequency list to
several BTSs.
If you give the parameter NAME, you cannot give the parameter BTS.
mobile allocation frequency list
MAL = decimal number
With this parameter you define the mobile allocation frequency list to which the
BTS will be attached.
The values range from 0 to 2000. Use value 0 to detach the BTS from the mobile
allocation frequency list.
You can only modify this parameter when the BTS is LOCKED or the overlay
hopping mode is not RF hopping.
background mobile allocation frequency list
BMAL = decimal number or ND
With this parameter you define the mobile allocation frequency list used as
background data. In background data activation (EE command group),
background data is swapped with active data.
The values range from 0 to 2000. Use value ND (not defined) to remove the old
value of the background parameter.

DFCA mobile allocation frequency lists <option>
DMAL = decimal number
With this parameter you define the DFCA mobile allocation frequency lists that
will be attached to the BTS.
You can enter several values at the same time by using the wild card characters &
and &&. If more than one BTS or NAME has been given, wild card characters
cannot be used.
DFCA MA list operation <option>
With this parameter you add or remove valid DFCA mobile allocation frequency
list(s) to/from the BTS.
OPE = A Add DFCA mobile allocation frequency list(s) to the
BTS.
R Remove DFCA mobile allocation frequency list(s)
from the BTS.
DN9813242
Issue 23-2 en

Note
If you give the parameter OPE, you must also give the DMAL parameter.
DFCA unsynchronized mode MA frequency list <option>
DUMAL = decimal number
With this parameter you define the DFCA unsynchronized mode MA list. The
MA list is to be used in the DFCATRXs if a BTS in 'DFCA hopping' mode loses
synchronisation or BSC-BSC connection. This is a reference to any existing
normal (non-DFCA) MA list defined in the BSC.
The values range from 0 to 2000. Use value 0 to detach the BTS from the DFCA
unsynchronized mode MA frequency list.
Examples 1. Attach BTS-8 to mobile allocation frequency list 3 and set MAIO offset to
2.
ZEQA:BTS=8:MAL=3,MO=2;
2. Detach BTS CENTRUM1 from the mobile allocation frequency list.

identification of BCCH frequency list
IDLE = decimal number
With this parameter you define the BCCH frequency list used by idle MSs. This
list is used for cell reselection and is sent on the BCCH.
If the value is 0, the BCCH frequency list used is that of the adjacent cells defined
for the BTS.
Do not connect the BTS to a BCCH frequency list which has no frequencies
defined because then the MS is not able to make handovers to other cells.
BCCH allocation usage for active MS
With this parameter you define the BCCH frequency list used by active MSs.
This list is used for handovers and is sent on the SACCH. The values are:
ACT = ADJ If the value is ADJ, the BCCH frequency list used is that of the
adjacent cells defined for the BTS. Normally, the BTS operates this
way.
IDLE If the value is IDLE, the active MSs use the same BCCH frequency
list as the idle MSs. The BCCH frequency list is defined by the BTS. If
the value of the previous parameter IDLE is 0, the active MSs use the
BCCH frequency list of the adjcent cells.
measurement BCCH Allocation list
With this parameter you define whether or not Measurement BCCH Allocation
List is used during measurements when necessary. The values are:
MEAS = Y Measurement BCCH Allocation List used.
N Measurement BCCH Allocation List not used.
Examples 1. Attach BCCH frequency list 5 to BTS-2. The BCCH allocation for idle
MSs will be formed according to frequency list 5. The BCCH allocation
for active MSs will be formed according to the frequencies of the adjacent
cells defined for the BTS.
ZEQB:BTS=2:IDLE=5;
DN9813242
Issue 23-2 en

2. Set both BCCH allocations to be formed according to the frequencies of
the adjacent cells defined for the BTS CENTRUM1.
ZEQB:NAME=CENTRUM1:IDLE=0;
3. Attach BCCH frequency list 6 to BTS 3. The BCCH allocation for idle
MSs will be formed according to frequency list 6. Also tell the active MSs
to measure the frequencies in that list. The BCCH allocation for active
MSs will be formed according to the same frequency list as for idle MSs.
Now, the active MSs may acquire some extra BCCH frequencies into their
measurement routine, but nevertheless no handovers can be made towards
those extra cells.
