How this document is organized

This document consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 How to use this Manual describes how to use this maintenance manual. Chapter 2 Description of the cabinets provides a brief description of the boards and modules contained in ecell BTS. Chapter 3 Description of a startup describes the procedure for starting up an ecell BTS and for monitoring the BTS startup. It also provides a brief description of the BTS power supply. Chapter 4 Preventive maintenance procedures provides a guide for maintenance personnel to perform preventive maintenance to the ecell BTS. Preventive maintenance allows you to take recommended actions at scheduled intervals to decrease the number of problems that can affect the BTS. Chapter 5 Replacement procedures provides a guide for maintenance personnel to perform replacement procedures to the ecell BTS. Replacement procedures allow you to replace boards and modules of the BTS. These procedures are applicable:
when an item of equipment is faulty (refer to NTP < 104 > and NTP < 105 >
in which the fault numbers are analyzed).

when an item of equipment has to be replaced according to the preventive
maintenance. Chapter 6 CPM Tool provides an installation and user manual for the TILlike tool used to set the transmission parameters of the Abis interface link.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

1.1.1
Introduction
Corrective maintenance The network maintenance is based on the graphical supervision of the network on the OMCR. It is also based on the identification and the replacement of faulty items of equipment, using the maintenance principles described in NTP < 39 >. This process is divided into two steps (see Figure 11): locating and identifying the faulty items of equipment, using information given in NTPs < 104 > and < 105 > replacing the faulty items of equipment, using the replacement procedures given in this manual (see Figure 12) When a faulty item of equipment sends an alarm to the OMCR, this alarm is identified by a fault number. NTPs < 104 > and < 105 > give the procedures associated with the various fault numbers. When a faulty item of equipment triggers several alarms, NTP < 105 > enables the operator to locate this faulty item of equipment. It also helps the operator when an abnormal operation occurs in a BTS, a TCU, a BSC or on PCM links.
1.1.2
Preventive maintenance The implementation of the preventive maintenance procedures is the responsibility of each customer. The execution of these procedures may trigger alarms at the OMCR. This process is divided into two steps (see Figure 11): the test procedures of the items of equipment the replacement procedures of the items of equipment All these procedures are necessary and are described in this manual.
12
1.1.3
Intervention restrictions There may be a lapse of time between the identification of the alarm at the OMCR and the time the operator responsible for the intervention arrives at the site. The operator must be synchronized with the OMCR (by telephone) before an onsite intervention, in the following cases: isolating procedure on the OMCR intervention because alarms are triggered at the OMCR completion of an onsite intervention return to service procedure

Safety of personnel and equipment

General safety instructions for personnel
The personnel must obey the safety instructions specific to the installation site: rules concerning the premises (see instructions posted on site or in the building) rules linked to the general personnel safety instructions The personnel working on the cabinet must be authorized to work according to the security standards. The cabinet main external power supply is switched off by opening the circuit breaker on the operator box. The main power supply supplying the cabinet means that no work must be done on the cabinet internal wiring without first cutting its external main power supply. The power to the various active components of the cabinet is cut by the mains circuit breaker. The external mains socket is no longer supplied. This BTS has been evaluated under IEEE C95.1 requirements, regarding safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The leakage fields and equivalent power densities are orders of magnitude less than the maximum permissible exposures (MPEs) given in the IEEE safety guidelines.
1.1.4.2 Equipment safety
The operating temperature range of the ecell is between 40C and +50C. Before an intervention on the PSU, at an abnormal temperature, wait for the cooling.

DESCRIPTION OF A STARTUP
3.1 Introduction
This chapter contains the procedure for starting up an ecell. To start up a BTS, perform successively the following steps: Power on the unit. Monitor the startup phases (see Paragraph 3.4). As a help, a brief description of the ecell power supply is provided in Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3.
3.2
ecell power supply

The ecell radio cabinet is supplied from a DC network with 48 V dc. However the BTS may be optionnally supplied from the AC operator box. In this case, the use of a Nortel PSU is mandatory. This PSU is able to deliver a secure power supply with an optional battery pack. The backup time is 15 minutes at ambient temperature.

3.3.1
ecell power on / power off

Power on Switch on each circuit breaker of each unit of the operator box.
3.3.2
Power off Switch off each circuit breaker of each unit of the operator box.

3.4
Startup phases
The ecell startup falls into a number of phases, which are summarized in the following flowchart (see Figure 31). To perform the startup, follow the following steps.
Step Action
1 2 3
Open the hatch at the bottom of the radio cabinet. Power on the ecell (see Paragraph 3.3.1). Follow the steps of the startup with the leds located at the bottom of the radio cabinet. They should be in the following states:
Powering led ecell poweron PCM scanning Downloading of the BSC End of the startup green green green green
Status led blinking red blinking orange blinking green green
4 5
At the OMCR, perform a Display hardware configuration to check the state of the ecell. Close the hatch at the bottom of the unit.

Checks at the OMCR

Preliminary checks before performing the preventive maintenance procedures Preventive maintenance procedures can be performed only when there are no alarms on the equipment concerned. Before taking any action, check the OMCR Browser windows at the OMCR, which provides a means of graphically monitoring the network. When the graphical objects of the display are gray, no alarms are active. The preventive maintenance procedures can be performed.
4.3.2
Final checks after having performed the preventive maintenance procedures After having performed the preventive maintenance procedures, check that the network has resumed its correct operation. The graphical objects must appear without any alarm in the OMCR Browser windows at the OMCR. The preventive maintenance procedures are complete. If there are alarms on the graphical objects concerned, check the condition of the site using the Display all interrogation on the btsSiteManager object: If the operationalState is enabled, clear the alarms to complete the preventive maintenance procedures. If the operationalState is disabled, set the btsSiteManager object to locked and then back to unlocked, and then perform a Display hardware configuration interrogation on the btsSiteManager object:
If all equipment is working, clear the active alarms. The preventive
maintenance procedures are complete.

If certain items of equipment have failed, refer to the corrective maintenance
procedures (see Chapter 5).

Location
The battery pack is shown in Figure 41.
Procedure
Step 1 Action At the OMCR, search for a fault number 1067 with power fault cause to check that the ecell is not running on the battery. If there is no 1067 fault number with power fault cause, go to step 2. If there is a fault number 1067 with power fault cause, solve the problem of the AC power supply.

6.1 Introduction
The transmission parameters a BTS needs to configure the communication link with a BSC, such as PCM type (E1 or T1), TEI, etc... are usually set onto electronic boards using hardware devices such as micro switches or jumpers. This is not the case with the ecell BTS which has been designed to restrict and therefore to simplify the installation and maintenance processes. Here, the transmission parameters are stored in memory and must be read at powering up to be taken into account. To set or change these parameters, there are two ways to proceed. The first one is to bring a portable PC on the BTS site and to program the parameters, using directly the CPM application. The second way to set the parameters is to have a smart card, previously programmed, read by the ecell BTS. CPM stands for Commissioning Parameter Modification. The equipment must be configured prior the first connection of the BTS (commissioning) and any time the radio cabinet need to be changed (maintenance).
