14. (note: there should be a task in the PW for the NOC to change BCCHTYPE to NCOMB
during the maintenance window, this will change resources to 1-0-8-14.) 25.
RLSLC:CELL=cell, CHTYPE=TCH,LVA=13; - Increase Cell Logical alarm set point to
reflect the added channels
Additional steps if using Frequency Hopping: 25. RLBDP:CELL=cell; - Print number of
BPC’s for the cell. Number will be given for both channel groups, 0 and 1 (or
more). CHGR 0 will say SYSDEF, CHGR 1 will have a number equal to the number of
TRUs in that channel group times 8 (CHGR 0 only has 1 TRU, all the rest will be in
CHGR 1). For example, a sector with 3 TRUs will have 16 BPCs. A 4 TRU sector will
have 24 BPCs. Use the following table:
# of TRUs in the sector 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NUMREQBPC in CHGR 1 (or total
between mult. CHGR) N/A 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 88

26. RLBDC:CELL=cell,CHGR=1,NUMREQBPC=X; 27. RLSTP:CELL=cell; 28.

RLSTC:CELL=cell,CHGR=1,STATE=ACTIVE;

- Change the number of required BPCs for the cell - Check status of channel groups
- look at CHGR 1 - Unhalt CHGR 1 (if halted)

Note: TRU adds at sites where Baseband frequency hopping is implemented must be
performed during the maintenance window. You can check if a site has baseband
hopping by looking at the following: RLCFP:CELL=cell;. There will only be one
Channel Group (CHGR 0), only one frequency per TRU, and HOP will be set to ON. If
you do RXCDP:MO=RXOTG-XX; the channels for the new TRU will show UNUSED and at the
bottom will be a message saying “MAIO EXCEEDS FREQUENCY SET SIZE”. To get the TRU
to come up you will have to turn the hopping off and back on again, as follows:
RLCHC:CELL=cell,HOP=OFF; RLCHC:CELL=cell,HOP=ON; This will get the TRU up but will
also reset the TX on each radio which will drop any calls active on the sector.
This is why these type of TRU adds must be done at night. UNDEFINING TRU: 1. 2. 3.

Deciphering the EXPOP You an do an EXPOP on a RP, an EM, a DIP, or an SNT. 202
switches: <expop:rp=230; DEVICE POSITION RP POS 230 414-6-A END The position is
given SUITE-CABINET-SHELF. In this example, suite (row) 414, cabinet 6, shelf A.
From there you’re on your own.
501 switches: <expop:rp=680; DEVICE POSITION RP POS 680 1-34-18-3-2 END The
position is given FLOOR-CABINET-VERTICAL POSITION-MAGAZINE-HORIZ.POSITION. In this
example, 1st floor (all of our switches will say this), cabinet 34, position 18
(use the scale on the cabinet door), magazine 3 (most will be this way), position 2
(use the horizontal scale on the magazine. Beware, the numbers refer actually to
the marker to the left of the number.) Trunk Turnups 1. Obtain orders from
Provisioning. Most likely you will get a phone call from Provisioning telling you
who to call for testing. 2. Make note of the C-order number for each facility. This
will be given on the DLR (Design Layout Report) for each circuit. This is the
number PacBell uses to identify the circuits during testing of the T1s. All of the
circuits in the order will have the same C order number. 3. Also make note of the
system ID for each circuit, for example 110/T1/BKFDCA14DC0/BKFDCA14W02. You can
reference the circuits also by the system ID. 4. Also make note of the AB numbers
for the trunks, this is the number PacBell uses to identify the actual trunks
(devices) in the route. It will also appear in the DLRs for the trunks. (Note: the
trunk DLRs will have a system ID that says something like 0025/DF4-
TFG3/BKFDCA1176T/77/BKFDCA14CM0.) The AB number will be listed under “TSC” on the
left side of the page. It may also be on the provisioning work order in the top
section on the left under “TSC Code”. 5. Wire the circuits as listed on the work
orders. 6. Call PacBell for testing of the facilities. 7. PacBell usually puts up a
loop on each T1. Monitor with your test set and have PacBell drop their loops to
verify you’re looking at their loop. Then run a standard 45-min. T1 acceptance test
on each one. (15 min. QRSS, 5 min. All 0s, 5 min. 1:7, 5 min. all 1, 15 more min.
QRSS.) You can daisy-chain the T1s and test them all at once by connecting patch
cords between the “out” of one to the “in” of the next, and so on. However, if you
get any errors you will have to start over and test each one individually. 8. Once
the testing is complete, call PacBell and have them remove the loops and normal up
the circuits. Verify optioning on each dip: DTIDP:DIP=XXUPD; For ESF/B8ZS LC and
FRS should show 1. For AMI/SF LC and FRS should show 0. 9. For each circuit: 
Connect the device to the route: EXDRI:DEV=UPDNAM-XX&&-YY,R=XXXI&XXXO,MISC1=(tcic);
(The TCIC range for the circuit will be given on the work order. Only specify the
first one in the range under the MISC1 parameter, the rest will automatically
follow.)  Put the devices in pre-post state: EXDAI:DEV=UPDNAM-XX&&-YY; 10. Test
the devices with PacBell. When they release their devices do a continuity check on
a few devices on each dip: TCCCI:DEV=UPDNAM-XXXX; It should come back “Successful”
for each one. 11. Once the devices have been tested with Bell, bring up the devices
one dip at a time. Release the 1st device on the dip, wait for it to be seized,
then monitor the call either with a TBERD or a MONTI command and verify good 2way
audio. Then release all the rest of the devices on that dip. Call Tracing: In the
MSC: 1. Initiate the trace on the phone number: CTRAI:MSISDN=(Phone number); 2.
Look for the MALT device and find the route and CIC: EXDEP:DEV=MALTM-XXXX; (the
number under MISC1 is the CIC, which will be the same as the RALT device in the
BSC) 3. Find the BSC: MGBSP:BSC=ALL; Look for the BSC with the route specified in
the EXDEP command. In the BSC: 4. Trace the RALT device: RAPTI:DEV=RALT24-XXXX; 5.
Look for info on the cell site. Near the bottom of the call trace printout (branch
9) you will see the TRX. Find the cell from the TRX: RXMOP:MO=RXOTRX-XX-X;
Monitoring to other MSCs: 1. Do the CTRAI command as above, look for a UPD device.
(UPDNAM, UPDNA) 2. Find the route and CIC for the UPD device: EXDEP:DEV=UPDNAM-XXX;
3. Find the MSC for that route: EXROP:R=SMXXXO; The other MSC name will be given in
the printout. 4. Go to the other MSC, find the device that has that CIC:
EXDEP:R=SMXXXO,MISC1=(CIC); 5. Do a call trace on that device: CTRAI:DEV=UPDNAM-
