are current then calls will be
dropped.
ZEQS:BTS=nn :L; U; Locks/Unlocks sector if any calls are

are connected to the
BSC.

(Location Area Code),
Cell ID. Admin state,

ZEEI; Without qualifier prints out all BCF

info. Including PCM

from BSC. (With parameter OMU,
resets omu)

ZEFS: To lock/unlock BCF (Change state)

e.g. ZEFS : 42 : U ;

counters on ET xx (can help sort out
sync. problems)

ZELO: Gives all BTSs on a BSC.

on a site.

ZEOR: Cancels alarm from BTS.

entered BTS lies
(routing zone also given).

ZEQS:BTS=XX:L:FHO,20; Forces handover of all calls after 20

seconds.

ZEFS:xx:L; Blocks down site.

ZEFS: xx:U; Unblocks site.

Quicker way of locking/unlocking Site/BCF….

Instead of going for MML session with BCF go to “RADIO NETWORK MANAGEMENT” then
to “RNW PARAMETERS”

ZERO: BTS=19,TRX=3;
Once session Gives state of the specified TRX.
is open go to top bar “STATE”…LOCK/UNLOCK.

ZERS: BTS=xx,TRX=xx,:L: ; Lock TRX.

ZERS: BTS=xx,TRX=xx,:U: ; Unlocks TRX.

ZERS: BTS=xx,TRX=xx,CH=xx:L: ; Locks channel.

ZERS: BTS=xx,TRX=xx,CH=xx:U: ; Unlocks channel

ZEAO:BTS=xx; Shows adjacent cell info. Using the

BTS’s adjacent CI. Check the LAC
and CI of all adjacent cells given
(Also on other BSCs)

ZEVV: Downloads s/w database into buffer

of BTS. (Used if no d/b
already in Flash Memory…then
Reset site twice to place in RAM)
