2.2 Preparations Before NodeB Commissioning

This section describes how to prepare for NodeB commissioning. Prepare for NodeB commissioning by referring to Table 2-1.
NOTE
When Network Address Translation (NAT) is not deployed on the M2000 side, the following IP addresses must be on the same network segment: l l l IP address for the M2000 connecting to the NodeB for operation and maintenance. IP address for the FTP server. IP address for the M2000 with a plug-and-play (PnP) task started.
When NAT is deployed on the M2000 side, the following IP addresses used after NAT is performed must be on the same network segment: l l l IP address for the M2000 connecting to the NodeB for operation and maintenance. IP address for the FTP server. IP address for the M2000 with a PnP task started.
If the preceding conditions cannot be met, visit the site and use a USB flash drive for the commissioning.
Table 2-1 Preparing for NodeB commissioning Step 1 Operation Check that the NodeB hardware, such as the cabinets, cables, antenna system, and auxiliary devices, is installed and passes the installation check. The NodeB passes a power-on status check and is powered on.

Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
Step 2
Operation Check that the controller hardware is installed and commissioned successfully and the controller runs normally. The negotiated data of the NodeB to be commissioned is configured at the controller and recorded. Check that he M2000 is commissioned, it is connected to the corresponding controller, and the configuration synchronization is completed. Check that the M2000 server is installed with an adaptation layer whose version matches the version of the NodeB to be commissioned. Check that the software package of the target NodeB version to be commissioned is obtained from the website http://support.huawei.com/ and uploaded to the M2000 server. For details, see 2.2.1 Uploading Data Files. Prepare the data configuration file of the NodeB to be commissioned. This file can be created and exported using CME, and provided by configuration engineers. For details on how to create the data configuration file, see the NodeB Initial Configuration Guide. The deployment list of the NodeB to be commissioned is ready. For details on preparing the deployment list of the NodeB, see Table 2-2. For details on the parameters in the deployment list, see 2.9.2 Parameters for the NodeB Deployment List.
3 4 5
Check that the NodeB relay server is set correctly. For details, see 2.2.2 Setting an NE as a Transfer Server. The NodeB relay server is usually set to the controller that controls the NodeB.
Check that the network is normal.
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
Table 2-2 Preparing the deployment list of the NodeB to be commissioned Scenario Deployment lists are exported from the CME Note If the CME has been deployed and you have initially configured eNodeBs on the CME, it is recommended that you use the CME to export eNodeB deployment lists. For details, see Exporting eNodeB EDS Data in M2000 Help. Obtain and open the exported deployment list. Check whether the software version, cold patch, and hot patch are consistent with planned ones. If they are inconsistent, change them as planned. In addition, set other relevant data.
NOTE The deployment lists must be exported from the CME of V200R011C00. CAUTION 1. Operators need to change the M2000 IP address and mask on the deployment list to those of the current SingleRAN6.0 NodeB to be deployed. Otherwise, the NodeB cannot connect to the M2000. The connection fails because the route and access control list (ACL) cannot be configured. The configuration fails because the NodeB cannot obtain IP addresses for the M2000 and the FTP server by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and there is no default route. The NodeB may not obtain the IP addresses if they are not included in the NodeB configuration file, the source of imported data. When NAT is deployed on the M2000 side, operators need to change the M2000 IP address and mask on the deployment list to those used after the NAT. 2. Before deployment, operators need to check whether IP addresses for the M2000 and the FTP server are on the same network segment. If they are not, check whether the M2000 can be configured as a relay server. If it can, configure the M2000 as the relay server. If either of the preceding conditions is not met, visit the site and use a USB flash drive for the commissioning.
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
Scenario Deployment lists are exported from the M2000 client
Note If the CME has not been deployed, you can export NodeB deployment lists from the NodeB Auto Deployment window on the M2000 client. 1. Choose Configuration > Auto Deployment > NodeB Auto Deployment from the main menu of the M2000 client. The NodeB Auto Deployment window is displayed. 2. Click . The Select Directory for Exported File dialog box is displayed. 3. Specify a save path, and then click OK. 4. Open the exported deployment lists, and then add relevant data based on the planned data that is confirmed with the network planning engineers.

If they are not, check whether the M2000 can be configured as a relay server. If it can, configure the M2000 as the relay server. If either of the preceding conditions is not met, visit the site and use a USB flash drive for the commissioning.
The planned target version of a base station to be commissioned may be inconsistent with that in the CME deployment list. For example, the current NE version is ***SPC210, and the CME has released the ***SPC210 NE component package. After the NE version is upgraded to ***SPC220, the CME does not release the ***SPC220 component package because the NE model remains unchanged. In such a case, users need to use the ***SPC210 package to create base stations. The baseline version number in the exported deployment list is ***SPC210. Users need to manually change the version number based on the following cases: If... The target version of a new base station is ***SPC220 Then... l If the baseline version is not ***SPC220 and the baseline version of ***SPC220 is ***SPC200, change the baseline version to ***SPC200 and change the cold patch to ***SPC220. l If ***SPC220 is the baseline version, change the baseline version to ***SPC220 and do not change the cold patch. The target version of a new base station is ***SPC210 l If ***SPC210 is not the baseline version and the baseline version of ***SPC210 is ***SPC200, change the baseline version to ***SPC200 and change the cold patch to ***SPC210. l If ***SPC210 is the baseline version, do not modify the deployment list.

3.2 Preparing the USB Storage Device for Local Commissioning

The USB storage device must be ready before it is used for local commissioning. The device contains the the NodeB software package, data configuration file, and antenna VSWR detection script. The software package is used for NodeB upgrade, and the data configuration file is used for NodeB initialization, and the antenna VSWR detection script is used for automatic VSWR detection of the NodeB at the local end.
Procedure
Step 1 Prepare a USB storage device with a LED. The requirements are as follows: When there is no read or write operation on the USB storage device, the LED on the USB storage device is ON; when there is any read or write operation on the USB storage device, the LED is blinking. The capacity of the USB storage device is larger than 1 GB. Step 2 Check the compatibility of the USB storage device with the NodeB. Do as follows to test the USB storage device: Insert the USB storage device into the USB port on the WMPT of a NodeB that runs normally, and wait for 3 seconds. If the LED on the USB storage device blinks once, it indicates that the USB storage device is functional. If the USB storage device fails the preceding test, replace the USB storage device. You are advised to contact Huawei engineers to obtain the USB storage device. Step 3 Save the related files to the specified directory of the USB storage device. 1. Prepare the NodeB software package, data configuration file, and VSWR check script file. l Obtain the NodeB software package from the support website. l The data configuration file can be made and exported through the CME. This is usually performed by configuration engineers. l The VSWR check script can be customized. The file name is STRVSWR.dat. The file content is as follows:
[Config] VSWRTHD = a
Where, a indicates the VSWR threshold and can be set as required. The recommended value is 1.5. 2. Store the files to the following directory. l NodeB software: \\NodeB\Software\Software.csp l Data configuration file: \\NodeB\Configuration\NodeBCfg.xml l VSWR check script file: \\NodeB\VswrTest\STRVSWR.dat
CAUTION
After you have saved the files from the PC into the USB storage device, unplug the USB storage device following the system prompt. If not, errors may occur when you access the USB storage device.

3.3 Upgrading the NodeB Software and Downloading the Data Configuration File (on the NodeB Side)
The NodeB supports direct downloading of software and data configuration file from the USB disk. After the downloading, the NodeB automatically activates the software, and then resets.
Prerequisite
l l The NodeB is powered on and has passed the power-on check. The USB disk for local commissioning is ready. For details, see 3.2 Preparing the USB Storage Device for Local Commissioning.
CAUTION
If the BTS was once upgraded, you must power cycle the BTS before upgrading it by using a USB storage device.
Context
When the USB disk is plugged into the corresponding port on the WMPT, the BBU3900 automatically detects the USB disk and installs the USB disk driver. After the installation, the NodeB automatically reads the software and data configuration file in the fixed directories of the USB disk and verifies their names and formats. After reading the software package and data configuration file, the NodeB checks the whether the active software version and configuration data are consistent with those in the USB disk. If they are inconsistent, the software and configuration upgrade is automatically started. If they are consistent, the upgrade is not performed. Note the following situations when the software and configurations are upgraded from the USB disk: l By default, the NodeB downloads the software and data configuration file from the USB disk by configuration. The NodeB also supports the supplementary download. For example, If the RRU is not connected to the BBU3900 through the optical cable, the software and data configuration file related to the RRU are not downloaded. After the RRU is connected, the software and data configuration file related to the RRU are automatically downloaded from the USB disk. If the USB disk is only saved with the software, the NodeB automatically upgrades the software. If the USB disk is only saved with the data configuration file, the NodeB automatically downloads the data configuration file. In any of the following situations, the NodeB does not upgrade the software or download the data configuration file from the USB disk.
l l l
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
The directory or the file does not exist. The file format is illegal. The software version saved in the USB disk is the same as the active software version. The configuration in the configuration file saved in the USB disk is the same as the active configuration.
Procedure
Step 1 Plug the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT of the BBU3900, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Plugging the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT
Step 2 The NodeB automatically downloads the software and data configuration file, activates the software, and then resets. For details on the status of the LED on the USB disk and the status of the RUN LED on the WMPT in this process, see Table 3-1.

You can infer that the software of the NodeB is upgraded successfully if this state lasts more than one minute.
NOTE
l Do not remove the USB disk before the NodeB upgrades the software and runs normally. Otherwise, the file loading or file parsing fails. l After the software and data configuration file are downloaded, it takes three to four minutes for the software activation and takes about two minutes for the NodeB resetting. Do not pay attention to the status of LEDs during these two periods. Pay special attention to the status of LEDs in three phases listed in Table 3-1. l The time for downloading software and data configuration file from the USB disk and the time for the NodeB to activate the software may differ from those in the table, according to the version and configuration. l The upgrade or configuration fails if any of the following phenomena occurs: l After the USB disk is inserted, the RUN LED on the WMPT blinks slowly (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s) and the LED on the USB disk is persistently on. l During the upgrade, the LED on the USB disk is off, and the RUN LED on the WMPT blinks slowly (ON for 1s and OFF for 1s). l The LED on the USB disk is off during the data configuration. Ensure that the hardware of the USB disk is not faulty, and then check whether the version software and data configuration file are saved in the correct directory.

3.5 Testing the NodeB Antenna VSWR Through the USB Disk (On the NodeB Side)
This section describes how to test the VSWR. The VSWR is used to verify if the antenna system is correctly installed. You can test the VSWR through the USB disk on the NodeB side.
Prerequisite
l l The NodeB is powered on and passes the power-on check. The USB disk for on-site commissioning is ready. For details, see 3.2 Preparing the USB Storage Device for Local Commissioning.
Context
l When the USB disk is plugged into the corresponding port on the WMPT in the BBU3900, the BBU3900 automatically detects the USB disk and installs the USB disk driver. After the installation, the NodeB automatically reads the software and data configuration file from the designated directories of the USB disk and verifies their names and formats. When the system reads the VSWR script file STRVSWR.dat, the NodeB starts testing the VSWR. When the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side and the VSWR test on the M2000 side are performed at the same time: If the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side is started before the VSWR test on the M2000 side, the M2000 displays that the NodeB is performing the VSWR test. If the VSWR test on the M2000 side is started before the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side, the NodeB does not perform the VSWR test through the USB disk and records the failure result to the main control log. Meanwhile, the LED on the USB disk is off.
l l
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
53
CAUTION
l Testing the VSWR interrupts the NodeB services. Therefore, you are advised to test the VSWR in low traffic hours or after the NodeB services are isolated. l When a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) test is started on a TRX module that works in co-module mode in a multi-mode base station, or a VSWR test is started on TRX modules that work in different modes but share the same antenna system, services of both modes of the base station are disrupted.
Procedure
Step 1 Plug the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT of the BBU3900, as shown in Figure 3-4.
CAUTION
l After the NodeB software and configurations are upgraded through the USB disk, remove the USB disk and then plug it back into the USB port to start the VSWR test. l Before the VSWR test is started, the NodeB should run properly and the CPRI LED on the WBBP should be steady green.
Figure 3-4 Plugging the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT
Step 2 Wait for the NodeB to automatically test the VSWR. When the USB disk LED is off, the VSWR test is complete. Observe the status of the CPRI LED on the WBBP. l If the CPRI LED blinks red (on for 1s and off for 1s), the RRU or WRFU has the VSWR alarm. Clear the alarm by referring to step 4 in 3.4.3 Guidelines for Rectifying Faults. Then, go to Step 3. l If the CPRI LED is steady green, the test result is normal and there is no VSWR alarm. Unplug the USB disk and end the VSWR test.
NOTE
After the VSWR test through the USB disk is complete on site, verify the test result by testing the antenna VSWR of the NodeB on the M2000. For details, see Testing the NodeB VSWR on the M2000.

4.3.3 Measuring the RTWP

This describes how to measure the Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP). The RTWP is the received wideband power in an UL channel band measured at the access point of the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Network Access (UTRAN). You can calibrate the gain of UL RF channels through RTWP measurement. The RTWP measurement does not affect ongoing services.
Prerequisite
You have logged in to the NodeB LMT.
Context
The reference standards for the RTWP measurement are as follows: l If the NodeB is disconnected from the antenna system or carries a matched load, the reported RTWP is about -108 dBm. If the NodeB is connected to the antenna system with the TMA started or carries a matched load, the reported RTWP is about -105 dBm. If the services are normal and the UL load reaches 75%, the RTWP is 6 dB higher than the RTWP measured when the NodeB carries no service.
NOTE
l l
If the reported RTWP is valid, a normal RTWP curve is displayed. The values on the vertical axis correspond to the reported RTWP values with the unit of 0.1 dBm. If the reported RTWP is invalid, an abnormal RTWP curve is displayed. The RTWP values for the main antenna form a horizontal line at the point marked -1120 (that is -112 dBm) on the vertical axis. The RTWP values for the diversity antenna form a horizontal line at the point marked -1115 (that is -111.5 dBm) on the vertical axis. This error may lie in the absent WRFU, RHUB, or RRU, broken link, or faulty channel. Rectify the fault.
Procedure
Step 1 In the navigation tree of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Select Realtime Specific Monitoring > RTWP Measurement. The RTWP Measurement dialog box is displayed. For the parameter details in the RTWP Measurement dialog box, see Interface Reference for Measuring the RTWP. Step 3 Set the corresponding parameters in the dialog box. Step 4 Click OK. A window is displayed, showing the current monitoring task in graph. Step 5 To stop this test task, use either of the following methods:
l Method 1: Close the task monitoring window directly to stop all monitoring tasks displayed in the window. l Method 2: Right-click the task on the monitoring task list and select Delete Task from the shortcut menu. The curve displayed for the task is deleted together with the task. ----End

4.3.4 Monitoring the Output Power of the NodeB

This describes how to monitor the output power of the NodeB, including the typical output power and output power of each carrier.
Prerequisite
You have logged in to the NodeB LMT.
Context
After the task is started, the system periodically reports the monitored typical power and the output power of each carrier according to the set time interval. The output power of the NodeB is associated with the configuration and specified services. If the pilot power and typical output power are configured, the output power of the WRFU or RRU is about 3 dB greater than the pilot power when the NodeB carries no services. If the output power of the WRFU or RRU is considerably lower than the pilot power, the output power of the NodeB is abnormal. The pilot power of the WRFU or RRU can be set to 33 dBm. The typical power can be set to 43 dBm.
Procedure
Step 1 In the navigation tree of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Select Realtime Specific Monitoring > Output Power Monitoring. The Output Power Monitoring dialog box is displayed. For the parameter details in the Output Power Monitoring dialog box, see Interface Reference for Monitoring the Output Power Step 3 Set the corresponding parameters in the dialog box. Step 4 Click OK. A window is displayed, showing the current monitoring task in graph. Step 5 To stop this test task, use either of the following methods: l Method 1: Close the task monitoring window directly to stop all monitoring tasks displayed in the window. l Method 2: Right-click the task on the monitoring task list and select Delete Task from the shortcut menu. The curve displayed for the task is deleted together with the task. ----End
Result
Table 4-2 describes the monitoring items.
Table 4-2 Monitoring items for the NodeB output power measurement Item Carrier Output Power (Channel No: X; Carrier No: Y; Unit: 0.1dBm) Channel Output Power (Channel No: X; Unit: 0.1dBm) Description Indicates the output power of Y carrier in X channel. The carrier output power is the actual output power of the RRU. Indicates the typical output power in X channel corresponding to the RF module. The channel output power is the ideal output power, which is the theoretical output power.
4.3.5 Handling NodeB Alarms

This section describes how to check active alarms and clear the alarms if any.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the LST ALMAF command to query the active alarms. Step 2 Clear the alarms related to the NodeB. If... An active NodeB alarm exists An active alarm related to the NodeB cannot be cleared Then... Clear the alarm based on the alarm online help. Record it in 4.6 Data Sheet for NodeB Commissioning.
NOTE
When an NE is under maintenance operations such as construction, upgrade, commissioning, and expansion, the NE may fail to function properly within a short time period and therefore report a large number of alarms to the M2000. Most of these alarms such as reset, switchover, and link disconnection alarms are of high severities and are automatically cleared after the maintenance operations are finished. To avoid these alarms from affecting normal network monitoring, the M2000 defines all the alarms reported during NE maintenance as maintenance mode alarms and specifies a mechanism to handle them. The commissioning personnel can handle active alarms after restoring the normal state of the NodeB. For details , see M2000 Feature Description About Maintenance Mode Management or Feature Description About the Maintenance Mode Alarm.

4.4 Testing the NodeB VSWR on the LMT

This section describes how to test the VSWR. The VSWR is used to verify if the antenna system is correctly installed.
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
66
Prerequisite
l l You have logged in to the NodeB LMT. The NodeB does not provide any service or the services are isolated.
Context
An excessively large VSWR results in a short transmission distance and reduced cell coverage, affecting the normal operation of the system. The normal VSWR ranges from 1 to 2.0. The VSWR less than 1.5 is preferred.
CAUTION
l Testing the VSWR interrupts the NodeB services. Therefore, you are advised to test the VSWR in low traffic hours or after the NodeB services are isolated. l When a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) test is started on a TRX module that works in co-module mode in a multi-mode base station, or a VSWR test is started on TRX modules that work in different modes but share the same antenna system, services of both modes of the base station are disrupted.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the STR VSWRTEST command to test the NodeB VSWR. ----End
Follow-up Procedure
1. 2. Verify that the antenna system is correctly installed based on the measured VSWR. Ensure that the NodeB services resume.
4.5 Setting the Maximum Output Power of RRU or RFU

Set the maximum output power of the RF unit on site, according to the local regulations on power specifications.
Prerequisite
l l l The RF unit is connected properly. The LMT communicates properly with the NodeB. You have obtained the maximum output power of the NodeB. The maximum output power of the RF unit is specified by the local operator.
Context
l After setting the maximum output power of an RF unit, reset the RF unit manually to make the setting take effect.
Issue 03 (2011-09-30)
If a BTS has multiple RF units, you need to manually reset each RF unit after setting the maximum output power. In the case of cascaded RF units, you must start the setting from the lowest-level RF unit to minimize the impact on the ongoing services. If the maximum output power to be set exceeds the hardware capability of the RF unit, the setting is not allowed. Before returning a functional RF unit to the spare part warehouse, you must set its maximum output power to 0 and manually reset the RF unit. This operation is not required if the faulty RF units are returned. The function is applicable to only RRU3928, RRU3828, MRFUd, WRFUd and MRFU V2 (P900M).
l l
Procedure
Step 1 Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet/subrack/slot number, TX channel number, and maximum output power of the RF unit. Step 2 Run the LOC RRUTC command to set the maximum output power of the RF unit.
NOTE
The LOC RRUTC command is used to set the maximum output power of one RF unit at a time. In the case of cascaded RF units, you must start the setting from the lowest-level RF unit to minimize the impact on the ongoing services. If the maximum output power exceeds the power specifications supported by the RF unit, do not set the maximum output power.
Step 3 Run the RST BRD command to reset the RF unit.

NOTE
The RST BRD command is used to reset one RF unit at a time.
Step 4 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check that the maximum output power of each RF unit is set successfully. If... The maximum TX power of each RF unit is set successfully The maximum TX power of each RF unit is not set successfully Then... End this task.
Check whether the maximum output power exceeds the power specifications supported by the RF unit. Set the maximum output power again. If the setting of the maximum output power still fails, contact Huawei for technical support.
NOTE
Before return the RF unit to the warehouse, run the LOC RRUTC command and set TXMAXPWR to 0. This operation is not required if the faulty RF units are returned.
