Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview of BTS Local Maintenance
The BTS local maintenance software is installed onto a PC (a laptop is preferred), which is connected to the BTS with serial communication cable. The local maintenance of BTS can then be implemented via the MMI in the maintenance cavity of the mini BTS.
1.2 Introduction to BTS Local Maintenance Console

It is possible to perform operations to the logical objects or boards of BTS at the near end maintenance console. The following chapters will detail the information of various logical objects.
I. Logic Objects
In BTS terminal maintenance, the logic objects comprise: Site, Cell, BT (Baseband Transceiver), CH (Channel), RC (Radio Carrier). The relationship of these logic objects is shown in Figure 1-1.

z z
There are three values for the management states: Locked: disconnect the transmitting and receiving of the radio interface and/or ground baseband. Unlocked: connect the transmitting and receiving of the radio interface and/or ground baseband. ShutDown: hold the existing coiomunications until the services are released, and new users are prevented from access to the resources.
Note: There is no ShutDown state for cells. The site management state is only involved in the getting of management right. Getting the management right or not determines whether the user can perform data configuration through the O&M terminal.
2)
Operational state
It indicates whether the resource is in normal operation or available. Two values for this: Enabled, Disabled.
II. Introduction to the Interface of Local Maintenance Console

Figure 1-2 shows the interface of the local maintenance console. The interface can be divided into 3 areas: window of operational objects (left white window) in which objects can be selected; operation option window (right white window) in which specified operation can be performed to the selected objects, such as software loading, hierarchical resetting, etc; the aqua blue window below is the alarm window, which displays the alarm is any.
Figure 1-2 BTS local maintenance console
Note:
Different LMT versions may have different interfaces.
Chapter 2 Operation Preparation

Before the implementation of BTS local maintenance, it is necessary to finish some simple preparations: the local O&M cable connection, and startup of local O&M maintenance console.
Note:
MMI operations of all BTS3X transceivers are similar. For description in this manual, BTS3012 is cited as an example.
2.1 Connecting Terminal Maintenance Cable

Both ends of BTS terminal maintenance cable are DB9 connectors and are respectively connected to BTS terminal operation and maintenance port and the serial port of maintenance terminal (normally portable PC). Figure 2-1 shows the serial connector. Correspondence of pins on DB9 connectors is shown in Table 2-1.

Figure 2-4 Set communication port parameter
If MMI still cannot get contact with BTS, check the connection of the maintenance cable and the maintenance terminal serial port.
2.3 User Login

After MMI obtains contact with BTS, select [User/Login] to display [User Login] interface in Figure 2-5. Enter user name and user password and click <OK>. If both the name and the password are correct, the user can log in successfully. Otherwise, the system will prompt user name or user password error.
Figure 2-5 User login
Upon successful login, the above dialog box automatically closes and the user can perform operation. When login failed, the system will display the failure cause in the dialog box.
Note:
Upon initial, the default user name is Omc and the password is the same with the user name. The user can modify the password after login.
Chapter 3 Site Function

As shown in Figure 3-1 click [Site0] in the tree structure, and all the function commands corresponding to [Site0] would be displayed in the right part of the window. Detailed description of the function commands under [Site0], including operation procedures as well as the explanation of function commands, is given in the following, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Site operation and maintenance interface
3.1 Site Management Right

I. Function Description
Site management right refers to the right to configure BTS parameters. The BTS parameters can be configured either via the remote maintenance console at the BSC side or via the local maintenance console. They cannot be configured via both consoles at one time. The user should get site management right before performing operations. Upon initial, the BSC owns the site management right by default. When the user wants to perform operations via the local maintenance console, he has to get the site management right beforehand. After operations, he has to release the right.
During the process of local maintenance, the priority of the local maintenance console is higher than that of the remote. No overwrite operations can be performed via the remote maintenance console. However, before it gets the site management right or after it releases the right, the local maintenance console has a lower priority and cannot execute any overwrite command successfully. Nevertheless, read commands can still be executed via it.
Caution:
z
The user should get site management right before all modification related operations such as site maintenance, cell maintenance, BT maintenance, channel maintenance, radio carrier maintenance and board maintenance. Otherwise, the system will prompt "management status is not matched" and the operations cannot be performed.
Getting site management right for the local maintenance console may affect the commands that are being executed via the remote maintenance console. Therefore, before getting the local site management right, please make sure that the remote maintenance console is not performing any overwrite operation such as dynamic data configuration.
II. Operation Procedure

Double click [Site0/Site management right], an interface as shown in Figure 3-2 will appear. Click <Get>, and "Getting site management right successfully" will be displayed in normal cases as shown in Figure 3-3, Click <Release>, the "Release site management right successfully" will be displayed.

7.4 Loop Test

Channel loop test can be adopted to test the parameters like channel BER and Tx power of the BT so that the channel quality can be determined. The current BTS3X can support two kinds of tests: "TRX self-test" and "BIU loop test". TRX self-test is to test the RF unit. TRX receives the command from the TMU and transmits data to the RF unit. Then RF unit loops the data back to the TRX. After a certain comparison, TRX reports the BER report. The operation staff can learn the quality of the current RF unit link. BIU loop test is to test the link between the TMU and TRX. TRX transmits data. Then TMU loops the data back to the TRX. TRX calculates and reports the BER. The operation staff can judge whether the link between the TMU and TRX is normal.
II. Operational Procedure

Double click [Cell/BT/Channel/Change channel administrative state], and in the pop-up interface, select BIU loop test and set the test time. Click <Begin> to start the test. When the test is finished, test report will be displayed in the bottom of the window as shown in Figure 7-5. As for TRX self-test, the procedures are similar to those of BIU loop test.
