Preparing for Commissioning


Preparing for CommissioningCommissioning Prerequisite (1/2)

• Before commissioning, the physical installation of the BTS (modules, cabling, antennas and radios) must be completed.

• Make sure a PC with 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager installed.• One 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet cable needed for the

connection between the BTS and user PC.• Parameter values must be available to be entered during

commissioning. The parameter values are provided by the network planning process.

• BSC settings: the BTS site must already be created at the BSC for commissioning to be successfully completed.


Preparing for CommissioningCommissioning Prerequisites (2/2)

• Transmission network setup: the transmission link(s) between the BSC and the BTS must already be set up so that there is a transmission path from the BSC to the BTS for all the Abis channels.

• If there are any intermediate transmission hubs between the BSC and the BTS, the cross connections in the hubs should either be set up at the E1/T1 link level, or at the n x 64 kbit/s level for all the channels to the BTS in an E1/T1 link.

• With the Flexi transmission interface Flexbus sub-module (FIFA), the transmission link will be established during commissioning.

Screenshots included are representations and should be considered as examples only. The current release of the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager software may differ slightly from the shots depicted


Preparing for CommissioningVisual Check Inspections• Perform the first part of the visual check before powering on the BTS at the

power system. • Check the equipment visually to see that there are no fatal installation errors,

which might lead to equipment damage during the power on, such as– the grounding– power cabling and supply voltage– other cables and fibres– LED status during power up– TX/RX/antenna connector torque check– Flexbus cables (used with FIFA)– LAN cable (used with the E1 transmission card)– LAN cables (used for TDM or Fast Ethernet transmission with FIPA, FIEA, FIQA,

FIYA)– Optical fibres (used for Gigabit Ethernet transmission with FIQA, FIYA)

• When all is proven to be OK, perform the 'Power on' check and verify the LED status.


Preparing for CommissioningInstalling the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager (1/4)

• Software needed in order to do commissioning/ supervising the Flexi Mutiradio is 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager (mandatory) and Flexi Hub manager (if FIFA is used).

• Both Software can be downloaded via NOLS.

• Please ensure that both manager software must be compatible with the software level installed in the BTS.

• User can check the compatibility at Software compatibility of Flexi Multiradio BTS document in NED.



• Check the system requirement of the PC before install the site manager



• Install the 2G Flexi BTS Manager and follow the instruction on the installing wizard.

• On successful completion of installation shortcuts will be created on your desktop and in the Start menu to launch the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager.



• On successful completion of installation shortcuts will be created on your desktop and in the Start menu to launch the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager.

Note:1.On certain computers, you may also be required to restart your computer before running the application.2. Re-installing the same version of the product will over-write the previous configuration with the default settings.

Commissioning Types


Commissioning typesCommissioning Process Goal (1/2)

• The commissioning process is divided into 4 different commissioning processes depending on the connection and commissioning statuses:

– BTS is not connected: The user intends to create SCF file or an EasyWizard template.

– BTS is connected and uncommissioned: The user wants to bring up the BTS in functional state. He can either use an EasyWizard like template or can specify the settings manually

– BTS is connected and commissioned: The user wants to upgrade the configuration or can change the configuration. This may either simply append in existing configuration or may lead to recommissioning of BTS based on the new settings to be upgraded or changed.

– BTS is connected remotely and commissioned: The user wants to upgrade the configuration or can change the configuration. This may either simply append in existing configuration or may lead to recommissioning of BTS based on the new settings to be upgraded or changed.


Commissioning typesCommissioning Process Goal (2/2)• The possible ways to perform commissioning process are:

– Use existing SCF (Site Configuration File)– Upload SCF from BTS – Create SCF by manual commissioning using Commissioning Wizard

• Note: User should not modify the Site Configuration File by using XML editor. Only the BTS Manager should be used to change any values in SCF.

• The Commissioning Wizard will guide user through configuration. By clicking "next" button the wizard will continue to the next configuration screen

• The wizard consist following screen:– Site specific Information– Hardware Configuration– Transmission Parameter

• Connect via LMP on ESMx using ethernet cable• Setup the local IP address on PC under Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) properties as follow:IP address: 192.168.255.130Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.128Default Gateway: none

• Personal Firewall may need to allow access to local network

eg ZoneAlarm• The default settings of the BTS are: IP address: 192.168.255.1312G Flexi BTS Site Manager connection TCP Port:

Local Commissioning Flexi 2G BTS Site Manager (1/2)

• Nokia Siemens Networks 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager allows the BTS operators to

– Commission – Configure – Monitor the BTS

• These tasks are performed with option:– at the BTS site (known as Local

Connection) – via communication from the NMS

system.– BSC site (known as Remote

Connection). • 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager is for

maintaining and commissioning Flexi Multiradio base transceiver stations.

user can enable or disable the 2MHz clock output from one BTS, to be used as the synchronization source for any other connected BTS.


Local Commissioning Transmission Parameter – Abis Termination

• In Satellite Abis, specify if there is a satellite circuit in the link between the BTS and the BSC

• Enable Abis Signal Mapping allows the BSC to dynamically provide the Abis allocations (TRXSIG, TCH, EDAP) for a BTS
