Enter correct value from field or check other eNB with same serial no's in
Serial No. of System Basic Information like below.

Enter eNB Serial No.

Step 7: Cell Management

Step 7a): Click box of Cell #0 and then click box of SubCell (dsp#0 /0) as below.

Remark: If you click the cell, this box color will be changed from white to pink.
And you can see "0" in Subcell box.
Step 7b): Click box of Cell #1 and then click box of SubCell (dsp#1 /2) as below.

Remark: If you click the cell, this box color will be changed from white to
pink. And you can see "1" in Subcell box.

Step 7: Cell Management (Continued)

Step 7: Click box of Cell #0 and then click box of SubCell (dsp#0/2/4)

Note: If you click the cell, this box color will be changed from white to pink.
And you can see "2" in SubCell box.

Step 8: SON Options

In SON options, We can configure 4 parameters as follows

Initial auto PCI Allocation

Initial Auto RACH Optimization
Initial NRT configuration
Initial SRS pool configuration

Step 8: SON Options - Initial Auto PCI Allocation

Select Initial auto PCI Allocation as shown below using SON Option menu

Selected Column in Detail Cell Information turns Gray (Disabled) from Yellow

Step 8: SON Options - Initial Auto RACH Optimization

Using RSI SON Option (Assign value of RSI automatically)

Selected Column in Detail Cell Information turns Gray (Disabled) from Yellow

Step 8: SON Options - Initial SRS Pool Configuration

Using SRS POOL Index SON Option (Assign index value of SRS pool
automatically)

Selected Column in Detail Cell Information turns Gray (Disabled) from Yellow

Step 9: Frequency Information

Check the value of FrqBandInd whether

value is 40 (correct value) or not.

Steps 10 & 11: Location & Detailed Cell Information
