8. In the RBS GSM menu, select Disconnect to disconnect the OMT logically
from the RBS.
This section describes how to open a saved IDB file from disk.
This section describes how to check and, if necessary, define the RUs present
in the RBS.
To avoid hardware and IDB inconsistency, the RBS must register which RUs
are present.
By setting RUs to Present or Not present, the RBS recognizes which RUs
are used. If they are used they are present, and if they are not used they are
not present.
The following RUs are not automatically updated and must therefore be defined:
• Radio Unit
Note: For AIR, RUs, and RRUs, it is not possible to set to Not present in
CONNECTED state.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Present RUs... to open the Define
Present RUs window.
2. If necessary, move the RUs in the configuration used to the Present box.
Select the RU to be moved. Click the ← key, or by double-click the RUs
to be moved.
If RUs Not Present in the configuration are in the Present box, move them
to the Not Present box. Click the → key.
Note: For RUs in a ring configuration, the setting Not Presentis not
allowed.
Note: For RUs in a cascade configuration, the setting Not Presentis only
allowed in consecutive order. The order starts from the outmost
RU towards the DUG, going in steps RU after RU. However, the
setting Present is only allowed in reverse order.
8 Defining RU Positions
This section describes how to check and, if necessary, define the RU position
in the RBS.
2. In the Shelf box, select the hardware unit shelf position in the cabinet.
3. In the Slot box, select the hardware unit slot position in the cabinet
4. If necessary, repeat steps 2–3 for each hardware unit until all RU positions
are defined.
This section describes how to define the Common Public Radio Interface
(CPRI) parameters.
For an overview of the available parameter settings for CPRI parameters, see
Table 5.
1. Select Configuration > Define > CPRI... to display the Define CPRI
parameters dialog box.
3. If using OMT version R48C or earlier, in the Interface type box, select the
cable connection type for the CPRI interface.
This section describes how to define the MCTR configuration. The number of
Transceivers (TRXs) for each MCTR can be changed using create IDB.
1. Select Configuration > Define > MCTR... to display the Define MCTR
Configuration dialog box.
This is valid if the RBS is running in BTS control mode. If the RBS is
running in BSC control mode, this setting is overruled by the BSC MCTR
power configuration.
If applicable, check the All hub positions check box to enable all hub
positions, without cabinet-type dependent filtering, to make non-standard
configurations possible.
4. To add an external node, click Add node to display a New node dialog box.
5. In the Hub address box, select the physical port on the hub unit where a
secondary DU in the RBS is connected. Valid values for hub address,
see hub position in Table 6
If applicable, check the All hub positions check box to enable all hub
positions, without cabinet-type dependent filtering, to make non-standard
configurations possible.
Note: The RBS must be restarted for the antenna supervision parameters to
take effect.
This section describes how to define the external alarms and smoke alarm, if
this is applicable.
For an overview of the available parameter settings for external alarms, refer to
Table 9. There are no available parameter settings for smoke alarm.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Alarm inlets... to open the Define Alarm
Inlets window.
When defining an RRUs external alarm on more than one node, the alarm
must be defined with the same alarm inlet and type value, closing or
breaking, as the other nodes. If a conflicting RRUs definition is detected,
delete the alarm definition and redefine the alarm inlets with the same type
value, closing or breaking, as the other nodes.
If you have selected the Smoke Alarm, there are no available parameter
settings for smoke alarm. Go to Step 9.
Note: For cabinet 6120, alarm inlets are on the SXU but are configured
as if they were on the SCU.
5. In the Type box, define the alarm type as Closing which means that when
there is an alarm the alarm cable closes. You can also define Breaking,
which means that when there is an alarm the alarm cable breaks.

Severity 1
This section describes how to set the Antenna Line Device (ALD) parameters
when Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) units are included in the antenna system.
The parameters relate to RET units designed according to standards from the
Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG).
Note: AISG RET units can only be used together with RBSs with RRUs, or
when AIR antennas are used.
In addition, preset individual RET configuration files are selected and sent to
the RET units, see Section 14.4 on page 27.
Up to six RET units can be defined for each RE unit. If more than one RET unit
is defined, the RET units must be connected in a chain.
1. Select Configuration > Define > ALD System Setup... to open the ALD
System Setup window.
2. In the ALD System Setup window, define the RET parameters for the
corresponding RE unit.
3. Select RET in the Port field for the RE unit where an RET unit is connected.
4. Place the cursor in the first of the six RET definition fields in Antenna Line
Devices.
5. Define the following parameters in the Properties field for the RET unit:
• Device Type
• Unique ID. This is used only if more than one RET unit is defined for
an RE
Note: AIR units can contain both an active and a passive RET unit.
In a cascaded configuration, Unique ID A1 must be used for
the active RET unit and P1 for the passive RET unit.
After the IDB has been installed, and with OMT Connected, the ALD data
parameters for Tilt can be set as follows:
1. Select Configuration > Define > ALD Data to open the Define ALD Data
window.
2. In the Define ALD Data window, select the RET unit to be defined in the
ALD: field.
3. Set the required tilt parameters, Electrical Tilt, or Total Tilt, for the
selected RET unit. See Table 10.
Note: The ALD device data parameters are used for information only and
have no operational impact on the ALD.
Not all ALD device data parameters are writable or supported by all
vendors.
After the IDB has been installed, and with OMT Connected, the ALD device
data parameters can be defined as follows:
1. Select Configuration > Define > ALD Data to open the Define ALD Data
window.
2. In the Define ALD Data window, select the RET unit to be defined in the
ALD: field.
Then click Edit Device Data... to open the Define ALD Device Data
window.
3. In the Define ALD Device Data window, define the parameters in the
following table for the selected RET unit.
4. Select OK to store the set parameters and then close the window.
Note: RET units in AIR are preconfigured from the factory, and RET
configuration files cannot be sent to AIR.
After the IDB has been installed, and with OMT Connected, the RET
Configuration Data file can be selected and sent to the ALD as follows:
1. Select Configuration > Define > ALD Data to open the Define ALD Data
window.
2. In the Define ALD Data window, select the RET unit to be configured in the
ALD: field.
4. In the file system, select the configuration file for the relevant RET unit.
5. Click Send.
Note: The instructions in this section are not valid for definition of ATMAs, that
is Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMA) designed according to standards
from Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG).
However, when an AISG TMA (ATMA) is used in mixed mode only, the
ATMA gain must be included in calculation of the feeder loss. See
Section 16.2 on page 31.
The TMA parameters must be set when a TMA is connected and the
characteristics of the TMA are different from the default values in the IDB files
in the OMT. If any parameter is missing, the default values must be used.
2. In the Define ALNA/TMA window, select the relevant TMA and click Run.
3. Set the parameters listed in Table 12. For more information refer to the
TMA and TMA-CM Parameters document.
5. Repeat steps 2–4 for all TMAs. Close the Define ALNA/TMA Parameters
window.
This section describes how to define the loss of the RX feeders and check
that the total gain value is within limits.
For a TMA configuration, this means that if the feeder loss value, measured
and calculated in document Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA 701 0003,
differs from the default loss value, the loss parameter must be updated to the
feeder loss value. See test record from Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA
701 0003.
For non-TMA configurations, the loss parameter is kept to the default value of 0
dB. The default value can be kept in this case, because the feeder loss is not
part of the total RX path loss in this type of configuration.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Loss... to open the Define Loss window.
3. In the Define Loss window, enter the Total Feeder Attenuation from the
test record for Antenna System Tests and click OK.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Loss... to open the Define Loss window.
4. In the Define Loss window, enter the calculated total loss value and click
OK.
See Example 1.
The values in the table guarantee the specified sensitivity performance, and
that the GSM specification is met.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Power and Battery... to display the
Define Power and Battery Parameters dialog box.
2. In the panel Power supply enter the parameters listed in Table 14:
7. In the Define Power and Battery Parameters window, click Battery type
parameters panel.
This section describes how to define the ECM and Efuses parameters.
By setting ECMs from Present to Not Present, the PDU recognizes which
ECMs are used.
• If the ECMs are used, they are present.
If the ECMs not used are showed as Present, set the ECMs to Not Present. To
check the latest presence information of ECMs, see Section 5 on page 11.
1. Select Configuration > Define > ECM and Efuses... to display the Define
ECM and Efuses Parameters dialog box.
2. Select the PDU instance from the list. All ECMs controlled by the PDU
are showed.
3. If an ECM not used is listed in the box, select the ECM and click Set ECM
to Not Present.
3. Click Apply Efuse Setting when all parameters for the selected E-fuse
are set.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Battery Test Parameters to display the
Define Battery Test Parameters dialog box.
20 Defining Climate
This parameter gives input to the climate unit about how it is to function.
1. Select Configuration > Define > Climate... to display the Define Climate
dialog box.
21 Defining Delay
This section describes how to define ESB and RX and TX feeder delay.
The parameter specifies the RF signal delay in the feeder. If the total feeder
delay value, as measured and calculated in document Testing Antenna System,
8/1532-LZA 701 0003, differs from the default delay, the delay parameter must
be updated to the total feeder delay value. This value is between 0–10,000 ns.
See test record from document Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA 701 0003.
The complete RX and TX path consists of all the jumpers and feeders between
the RBS and the antenna. Components of the complete feeder system are
site-specific, but can include:
• Feeder
• TMA
• Antenna jumper
TMA
P021142A
The delay in each section depends upon the velocity factor for the jumper or
feeder, and the length of the section. Delays for jumpers with different velocity
factors are given in Table 20, and those for feeders are shown in Table 21.

window.
2. Select the cable to define the delay for and click Run.
3. Determine the delay for each component in the TX path using Table 20
and Table 21.
If this is not possible, because the lengths are unknown or the velocity
factors or lengths are not found in the tables, see Section 21.1 on page 46.
In the example path below, the components that contribute to the total TX
Feeder Delay are labeled A, B, C, and D.
A B C D
TMA
P021141A
In this example, velocity factors of the jumpers and feeders differ. The
contribution of each component to the total TX feeder delay of the RBS is found
by using Table 20 for the three jumpers and Table 21 for the feeder.
Table 22 Contribution of Each Jumper or Feeder to the Total TX Feeder Delay for the RBS
Item Description Velocity Length Delay found Delay
Factor in...
A TX jumper 0.89 2 m Table 20 7 ns
B TX feeder 0.91 27 m Table 21 99 ns
C TMA TX jumper 0.88 3 m Table 20 11 ns
D Antenna jumper 0.88 1 m Table 20 4 ns
In the example (Table 22), the added delay value for all the components is:
7 + 99 + 11 + 4 = 121
6. Click OK to confirm.
• The length or velocity factor for a jumper or feeder is known, but not found
in the tables
If the length or velocity factor for a jumper or feeder is known, but not found in
the tables, the following formula is used:
If the length of the feeders and jumpers is not known, they must be measured
using the Distance To Fault (DTF) test described in document Testing Antenna

The RBS automatically sets the correct value in the IDB when the IDB
is installed.
If multidrop is used, the line attenuation for RBS 1 must be measured according
to the following instructions.
For RBS 1:
1. Set LBO B (D) to Long-h., 0 dB. Used B (D) ports in multidrop are
always set to Long-h., 0 dB.
The RBS remains in Local mode after the IDB has been installed.
4. In the Maintenance menu, click Monitor and Lin Att PCM A (C).
5. Click Start Monitor and read the value of the cable attenuation. The
displayed value is given in deci dB (10 deci dB = 1 dB). Make a note of
the value in the test record, see Testing Antenna System, 8/1532-LZA
701 0003.
When configuring the IDB for RBS 2 and RBS 3, see the following instructions.
8. In the Maintenance menu, click Monitor and Lin Att PCM A (C).
9. Click Start Monitor and read the value of the cable attenuation. The
displayed value is given in deci dB (10 deci dB = 1 dB). Make a note of
the value in the test record.
10. Add the measured cable attenuation values. The value given by Lin Att
PCM A is the cable attenuation to the previous RBS in the chain. Thus,
the measured value must be added to the value for the previous RBSs to
obtain the total cable attenuation for the RBS in question.
11. Use the total cable attenuation value to find the long-haul parameter value
for LBO A (C) in the following table.
12. If there is another RBS in the chain, set LBO B (D) to Long-h., 0 dB.
Used B ports are always set to Long-h., 0 dB.
If this is the last RBS in the chain, set LBO B (D) to Short-h., 0–133
feet. Unused ports are always set to Short-h., 0–133 feet.
2. Set the parameters. See Table 41. Click OK when all parameters are set.
Specifying a name and a description for the RBS makes the RBS easier to
identify when for example connecting it by Remote OMT.
1. Select Configuration > Define > RBS Identity... to open the Define RBS
Identity window.
2. In the RBS name field, enter the RBS name. Preferably, this is a unique
name with a maximum of 255 characters.
3. In the RBS description field, enter information about the site, such as
the site name or the location of the site. The maximum allowed number
of characters is 100.
4. Click OK.
28 Defining TEI
To enable the BSC to communicate with the Central Main Replaceable Unit
(CMRU) of an RBS in a cascade chain, a unique TEI value between 12 through
63 must be set for each RBS in the chain. The TEI value for the RBS must also
match the TEI value the BSC uses to identify the RBS. For RBSs not connected
in a cascade chain, the default TEI value is used.
1. Select Configuration > Define > TEI... to open the Define TEI window.
2. In the Define TEI window, select the relevant DUG and click Run.
29 Defining TNOM
Note: The time slot cannot be set to a time slot that is in use by the RBS.
Table 42 TNOM
Parameter Valid Values Default Values Description
TNOM Use • On Off Activates or deactivates DXX
support in an RBS.
• Off
TNOM Timeslot • E1: 1–31 E1: 31 Defines the 64 kbps time slot
on the E1/T1 link that is used
• T1: 1–24 T1: 24 for DXX support of the RBS. It
is only necessary to set this if
TNOM use is on.
If a time slot is already in use
for TNOM communication, it is
not possible to allocate it for
signalling or traffic.
TNOM Node ID 1–65534 1 Defines a unique identifier for
a node, such as an RBS in a
DXX network. It must only be
set if TNOM use is on and must
be equal to the value set in the
O&M center.
1. Select Configuration > Define > TNOM... to open the Define TNOM
window.
3. In the TNOM Timeslot box, enter the value. Valid TNOM time slot values
are shown in the Table 42.
Note: A free time slot must be defined for the TNOM that is not used
by the RBS. It is not possible to define TNOM when the OMT is
connected.
4. In the TNOM Node ID box, enter the correct values. Valid TNOM Node ID
values are found in Table 42. Click OK when finished.
This section describes how to define VSWR limits for configuring the
supervision of the antenna system.
Prerequisites
• The test results from the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) tests are available
• There are no faults in the antenna system. For information about how to
test the antenna system, see the document Testing Antenna System.
Note: If VSWR alarms are received and no faults are found in the antenna
system, the IDB must be updated with increased VSWR alarm
limits.
Parameters for VSWR limits are set to adjust the detection of problems with the
antenna system for the specific site.
Note: Examples when limits must be defined for VSWR class 1 and 2 can be
short feeder, diplexer, and TMA use. Typically, in these cases, higher
VSWR limits are required.
Table 43 describes the parameters available for the VSWR limits that can be
defined.
For the measured VSWR value, contained in the test record from document
Testing Antenna System, and recommended VSWR alarm limit, see Site
Installation Documentation.
2. Select Configuration > Define > VSWR Limits... to display the Define
VSWR Limits dialog box.
3. Select the applicable object from the list and click Run to display the Define
VSWR Limits for dialog box.
5. In the VSWR Class 1 and VSWR Class 2 boxes, set the VSWR Class 1
and Class 2 values according Table 44 and click OK.
31 Saving IDBs
• Give the IDB file an RBS-specific name, and save the IDB on the PC.
32 Installing IDBs
This section describes how to install the IDB in the RBS by connecting the
OMT to the DU.
Note: Using the OMT, always reload the software and install the relevant IDB
after moving a used flash card to another cabinet. This ensures that
software and correct configuration are consistent.
2. Wait until the Maintenance indicator has a constant yellow light. This
indicates that the RBS is in local mode.
3. There are two options for installing the IDB. Proceed to the following
relevant section:
• Installing the IDB in the RBS by connecting the OMT to the DU, as
described in Section 32.1 on page 74
1. Physically connect the OMT to the RBS if it is not already connected. See
Section 4 on page 10.
2. In the RBS GSM menu, click Connect to connect the OMT to the RBS
logically.
3. In the Configuration menu, click Install IDB. The RBS remains in local
mode after the IDB has been installed.
Note: Do not touch the RBS when any indicators are double-flashing.
4. Select Configuration > Site Specific Data > Display to open the
site_specific_data.txt window. Check that the correct parameters are
defined.
Note: Do not reformat the flash card or copy files directly by using the file
manager. This causes the flash card to malfunction. Loading software
to the flash card must only be done through the OMT program.
2. Select Configuration > Load Flash Card to open the Load Flash Card
dialog box.
3. In the Load Flash Card dialog box, click Browse to find the flash card
location.
4. In the Select IDB to use on Flash Card window, select the correct IDB to
use on the flash card, see Table 45.
5. If the IDB saved on the PC or disk is to be used, select IDB on disk. Click
Browse to find the correct IDB to use.
7. Click Load to load the RBS software and, if applicable, the IDB parameters
to the flash card.
8. Remove the flash card from the PC card slot of the PC.
