Preliminary information
NodeB status
The NodeB must be booted on a valid call processing software load to perform the RF
calibration.
The connection between the NodeB and the RNC must be broken.
Offline mode
Before performing RMT power calibration, the NodeB must be switched into offline
mode. This operation will automatically reboot the NodeB.
RMT setup
Before RMT can be used with the NodeB, the laptop must be configured appropriately.
This includes the IP address and NodeB software loads.
The RMT must be physically connected to the NodeB through an ethernet connection.
RF path maps
The RF path maps are stored on the NodeB backplane memory chip. The initial maps are
populated when the factory calibration is performed.
The record version of the RF path maps must be set to 1.
The digital shelf number and the logical unit number must be set according to the
site-specific conditions.
When a recalibration is performed due to the addition of a new RF path (that is, a new
radio or filter), the path maps must be changed to ensure the new configuration is mapped
correctly.
RF power calibration
The RF power calibration is a semi-autonomous procedure which calculates the gains and
losses through the test path and writes these values to the NodeB backplane memory chip.
These values are then accessed each time the radio is brought into service to ensure the
radios operate at their power levels.
To retrieve the new backplane parameters, you must restart the NodeB application.
However, it is not necessary to restart the RMT.
The RF power calibration procedure applies only to the 9391 Macrocell. It does not apply
to the 9396 d2U/d4U and the distributed NodeB.

System requirements
BTS Primary RF Path Map and BTS RF Test Path Map must display the new
configuration (after addition of a new RF path, that is, a new radio or new filter).
The power meter used to measure the signal must be calibrated and setup to provide
the correct measurement.
If antenna jumper cables are connected, they must be removed to connect the power
meter.
Important! Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you store the BTS Primary RF Path Map
and the BTS RF Test Path Map, andMCR RF Test Path Maps tab prior to the RF
calibration. For more information, see Save RF path configuration files (p. 3-22).
Important! If, after a calibration, a window appears stating that a value is out of
range, then the calibration is not valid. In this case, do not store the values. The
problem must be identified and the calibration procedure must be re-executed.
To calibrate an RF path of the NodeB for Diversity 1, perform the following steps:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Select the Tx ON/OFF switch on the radio's faceplate to the OFF position.
Important! Set the DOWN position = OFF.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Connect the power meter adapter cable (with the 40 dB attenuator) to the appropriate
sector External Antenna Connection (EAC) on the NodeB.

determining the specific channel number associated with the assigned carrier frequency
you want to calibrate.
For a 850 MHz band NodeB, use the Figure 3-4, Frequency for 850 MHz NodeB

Note: When you enter the Base Channel number, the second and third carrier channel
numbers are populated automatically (but dimmed). By default the second carrier will
be 5 MHz above the first; and the third will be an additional 5 MHz above the second
carrier. However, carrier spacing of 4.6 and 4.8 MHz are also permitted. If your
market uses carrier spacing other than 5 MHz, then (after enabling the second and
third carrier accordingly) you can click on the channel number boxes (box below the
number 2 for the second carrier and box below number 3 for the third carrier) to
change the second and third carrier channels to those used in your market.

Wait until the amplifier warms up and the output power level stabilizes.
Verify that the RF power meter displays an RF power level that is within 3 dBm of the
Total Target Power value that is shown on the RF Calibration screen. If the value on the
RF power meter is not within this range, then troubleshoot the RF Path hardware, RF Path
Maps, and the RF power meter test equipment (meter, attenuator, adapter cable, and so
on).
After the power level has stabilized (~4 minutes), click OK to continue with calibration.

Type the stabilized value displayed on the power meter into the EAC Transmit Power
(dBm) box and click Continue.

System requirements
The power meter used to measure the signal must be calibrated and setup to provide
the correct measurement.
If antenna jumper cables are connected, they must be removed to connect the power
meter.
The Tx ON/OFF on the radio faceplate for the transmit path that is to be tested is
switched to On.
The CTU must be configured.
Switch the Tx ON/OFF switch on the radio's faceplate to the OFF position.
Important! Switch set to the Down position = OFF.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Connect the power meter adapter cable (with the 40 dB attenuator) to the appropriate
sector External Antenna Connection (EAC) on the Node B.
Additional information: The RF attenuator or the antenna has to be connected behind
Switch the Tx ON/OFF switch on the radio faceplate back to the ON position.
Important! Switch set to the UP position = ON.

The purpose of the online mode is to check on the operation of the NodeB while the
system is functional. This is also used during installation and certification of a site. If you
want to monitor the status of the NodeB without performing any tests, the NodeB can be
left in the online mode.
Important! If configuration parameters are changed in online mode, the NodeB must
be rebooted.
Online/Offline control
NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
If this procedure is not performed correctly, service may be disrupted.
Read and familiarize yourself with this procedure and all of the associated information
before performing this procedure.
The BTS Online/Offline Control dialog allows you to switch the NodeB into online or
offline mode of operation without being attached to the WMS.
Important! Transitioning from Online or Offline results in a reboot of the
NodeB.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have installed the appropriate release of the RMT for the active software
generic of the NodeB.
If the NodeB is already in service, a backup of the NodeB database should be performed
using the OMC-UPS. If you plan to activate a different software generic in offline mode,
the backup is mandatory.
Procedure
From the RMT main menu, select Config > Cell > Online/Offline Control.
