The document provides steps for offline and online commissioning of a BTS cabinet using a laptop. The offline commissioning steps include disconnecting cables, downloading software, configuring settings, and checking modules. The online steps reconnect cables, establish connections, configure settings, and check hardware. Troubleshooting tips are also provided for common issues like faulty modules, cables, and settings.

30. Online commissioning steps
 Connect the Abis connector at DDF by verifying Tx/Rx
cable properly.
 OML will be established after primary Abis has
connected to DDF.
 Give hard reset to BTS after OML has established.
 Put site on Downloading from OMC.
 O&M will be established as downloading completes.
 Connect Laptop to BTS MMI port.
 Go to configuration>Hardware setting>Begin Hardware
modification.

31. Online commissioning steps
 Go to configuration>BTS commissioning>start
commissioning.
 Edit Qmux Address
 Edit sector mapping
 Check all Twin TRA setting.
 Click end commissioning and shift all modules from selected
modules to available modules.
 Go to configuration>Hardware setting>End Hardware
modification.
 Click “yes” when an automatically hardware modification
window appears.
 Hw Audit will be run and all Hardware will be shown after
sometime.

41. Troubleshooting
 If a TRE or combiner is in “Not Operational” or “FOS” state then
disable it then initialize it by using “init” command.
 If TRE or combiner can not operational by doing above command
then remove it by using the following method.
 Go to configuration>>Hardware setting>>Begin HW modification.
 Go to Configuration>>Hardware setting>>Remove.
 Remove the Hardware from BTS.
 Window will be appear of Hardware removal, select the module to
remove.
 Go to Configuration>>Hardware setting>>End Modification.
 Click ”yes” when configuration changes window appears.

45. Troubleshooting cont..
 When a module goes in “FOS” state then it must be disable by
using ”disable” command before initializing it by using “init”
command otherwise it will not goes to operational state.
 When a module is in “Not Operational” state with color white
then it means it has not got it’s RSL number still. Reload BTS
data by going to “configuration>Reload Bts data” or using a
method of “Begin Hardware then End Hardware” as discussed
earlier. It will take some time to become operational.
 When a module is in “MSD” or “MSA” state then it will not get
any command because its maintenance has seized for a while.
 When TRE RSL has locked then then its RSL will not be
stable, so unlock the TRE from OMC.

46. Troubleshooting cont..
 Sometime there is some faulty hardware in Bts that’s why other
sectors or TRE’s can effect and can not work properly. Due to
these faulty hardware other sectors or TRE’s can be down so
simply remove this hardware. By this method other hardware
become in operational state.
 Some time “SUMA” can not work properly that’s why whole Bts
effects so change the slot of “SUMA” and give hard reset to Bts.
 If modules in a shelf can not powers up then check it’s power
cable at the back ports of Bts or check it “RI” cable. Also check
the power switch for the concern shelf.
 If a “EACB” card is Not operational or “FIT” state then initialize it
from software. If it again goes in “FIT” state then Alarm card is
faulty.

47. Troubleshooting cont..
 Some time Primary Abis is stable by showing LED on Suma card
but OML can not become stable, It means that Abis LED is fake.
So check the Tx/Rx cable from both Bts end and microwave end
and make sure that it is correctly connected. Also check Tx/Rx
patching on DDF by using LED. Make sure that LED blinks on
every pair on DDF. Also check the BNC and Abis connectors.
Abis cable which is connected from Suma card to Bts board can
be faulty so also verify it.
 If a TRE or combiner can not operational than change its slot
then verify it.
 Vswr issues can be resolved by checking connectors from Bts end
and feeder end.
 The last option for Alcatel equipment to become operational is
the “Hard reset of Bts”.
