This will be the first window you will be viewing after switching on the laptop.

Now click on the Nokia BTS H/W configurarator.Using this u will be able to design the S/W configuration that u installed in the BTS.This needs to be uploaded into the BTS,so that control card of BTS(BOI) will be aware of the cards installed in it and be able to carry out the call process accordingly.

So double click the icon,then the the next window follows.

This will be the window u will be viewing after clicking the icon.Now go to the menu bar and click the configuration lable.The wizard option wsill be appearing.

So now click on this wizard option.

Now u got a new window by the name of configuration wizard.There will be three options in this window as Search for new configuration candidate,Create new configuration & Check BTS configuration and update BTS.From this u have to select create new configuration option and click next.

Then u will see another window on the screen as select sector configuration.Here in this slide u r seeing a white shaded area in which u will be viewing existing configurations, If ur BTS is having one of those select it and click next. If not then select new and then press next.

So next window will be Define TSX configuration, in which we will define the connections while creating totally new configuration, but here since we selected existing one there is no need to change.So press next.

Next will be the Define RX diversity cabling which is also a predefined thing and need not be altered here in this case.So click next.

In this following window if we are using MHAs then we need to alter some data,but mostly there will be no need for that beca use MHAs r very

rarely used.So simply press next.

Now click finish icon to complete the TSX,RX & Antenna cabling configuration report.

Now its turn to define each and every card installed in the BTS.This can be done by right clicking the white shaded region which will be displaying a option as properties in which we can define about all the cards.

This small window will appear after clicking the properties.In this window u will be viewing the option as type in wnich each and every card is present .We have to select which card we r defining.After selecting the type of the card we have to define the slot in which it has been inserted and what is the number in order in the index and also the model in name.These options will be highlightened after selecting the type of card.And remind that not to forget when EDGE TSx s r present select some option in the EDGE TSxs slot,at the same time select network type whether it is GSM 900 or GSM 1800 etc.Then click ADD.Continue adding remaining cards also as shown in the wfollowing windows.

After defining all the cards according to the requirement we have to upload this configuration to BTS.For this goto the menu bar there will be a option called as BTS.Clic on that which will be displaying a option as send BTS configuration. Click on that.

Then this small window will appear in which click send to BTS icon.

Click YES on this mini window to start the process of sending the configuration to BTS.

After the completion of the process click close and then close the main window.This completes the activities carried out by BTS H/W configarator S/W.

Now in order to define the remaining parameters of the BTS we have to check in to NOKIA BTS manager.Therefore click on it.

The following window opens and in the white region some data similarly will be scrolling and after completion of scrolling goto tools option in the menu bar.Click on it.In it we will get an option as Launch ULTRA site BTS HUB manager.Click on it.This tool will help u in defining the micro wave link parameters and Traffic management as well as Synchronization also.

Then a mini window displaying the process of reading data from node will appear.Wait until the process completes and after completion a active alarm window will open.Just simply close that window behind which a window representing Transmission card (RRI) data will be present and in which we have to specify the data as given by RF engineer.

After closing the active alarm window this will be window on ur screen.On this screen single click on the RRI card once.Now after a little time u will observe a change in option displayed in the menu bar.This can be identified in the next window.

Here u can observe the change.Among those we will be having an option called as FXC RRI which got added to existing .By clicking this option we will able to access the options such as settings,measurements and some more.By using those options we can specify the data as prescribed by the RF engineer.To have a clear view of the RRI commissioning plz check METRO BTS commissioning presentation.And the window that is displayed on

the screen represents the measurement of Rx level.This will be checked out when MW alignment is carried out.

The above process completed the commissioning of RRI card.Now its turn to define the Synchronization priority of BTS.For this go back to menu bar and click on the configuration option.This displays a list of sub options such as Commissioning wizard,cross connections,identifications,synchronization,Q1 management,Traffic manager etc.Of them select Synchronization.

Then a mini window displays representing the process of reading the cross connections.After the completion of this process automatically the synchronization window displays.

To adjust the priority settings click on modify.This will display the following window.

In this window change the timing from internal timing to Rx clock in priority 1.this will be shown in following windows.

Here no need to change the FB/interface and channel options Unless selected interface and channel we are using are not the same.

Similar is the case of Unit option also.

Now select the next priority 2.Then click modify.

Now select internal timing as second priority as follows.When the internal timing is selected all the subsequent priorities will be disabled.

After that click in Apply icon,and then ok.

Now open Traffic manager command on the configuration menu.Using this we will be allocating the transmission capacity in the D bus.

In this window we will be allocating the transmission capacity as explained in the following slides.

First click on TCHs icon abbreviated as Traffic channels.Then move the cursor on to first row first column slot and click on it then a list will be displayed.Of them select TRx1s TCHs.

After clicking on it 8 slots will be alloted to first TRx.Similar process for the remaining 11 TRxs.

After completion the window must be like this.Now select the TRXSIG abbreviated as transreceive signaling.

Click on the 25x1 slot here also a list of options will be displayed as TRX1s Signaling,TRX2s Signaling etc.Select TRX1s S ignaling then automatically another list of options appear as shown in next slide.

This is that list of options from which we have to select TRXs Signaling 16 k bit/sec.Since in general case one time slot wh ich is equal to 16 k bit/s will be enough for this signaling.The remaining will be selected when specified by BSC upon requirement.

Similarly remaining 11 must be allocated in the order as shown in this slide.

Now select the EDAP icon in order to provide the support which includes adding new EDAPs, adding a TRX to or removing a TRX from an existing EDAP,modifying the size of existing EDAPs,removing EDAPs.

Now take the cursor on to the 28x1 slot and drag it upto channel 30.

Now release the button.This displays a new window on the screen automatically as shown in next slide.

In this window from the available TRXs slot we have to shift the TRX 1,TRX 5,TRX 9 into TRXs in This EDAP slot by following procedure as shown in next slides.

After selecting the TRX1 only the << icon gets highlightened then click it to move TRX1 to other end.

Similarly TRX5 & TRX9.

Click ok.

Now its time to allocate OMU signal.For this click on OMUSIG.

The BTS can have one OMUSIG which allocates 2,4 or 8 bits in one time slot depending on the link speed used.

To allocate move the cursor on to the last slot of last channel 31 and click on it.This display a list of options from which depending on the link speed 16,32 or 64 is selected(normally 16 k bits/s.).Similarly unit and Interface are set accordingly.

The topology is defined according to the requirement as chain or loop.After defining all these things click ok.And now close the main window which opens the BTS manager automatically.

After the BTS manager has been opened.In this window goto the commissioning option and click on it which creates a option as wizard . Click on it.

By clicking on wizard the following window will be opened.Since the is commissioning for first time manual commissioning option will be high lightened.In other case Undo commissioning option will be high lightened.In either case click next.

Now in this window specify the site name and click next.

In this window there is no need to make any changes so simply click next.

In this window click on the Start commissioning Button.

Now Bts may take sometime to connect to LAPD connection.Wait until next button gets high lightened.

Now click next.

This window wiil be displayed asking whether to continue or not in the absence of connection to BSC.Click on YES.

After clicking on YES button commissioning of BOI card also called BCF card starts.Therefore first BCF and other cards will be configured and

then S/W will be loaded. All this process will displayed in the BTS events.

We need to wait until S/W is loaded because till then next button will not get high lightened.

So when a message saying that BTS is ready for proceeding to next page is displayed in the Events click next.

This window represents the External alarms.Click on each in use block and then its corresponding checked block.Depending on the requirement the no.of alarms are selected.

Here total 12 alarms of this window are selected and then click next.

If required select these alarms also and click next.

Leave these as they are and click next.

Finally we came to the tail of commissioning in this window simply click finish to complete.

Now the BTS is in the commissioned state and now it is the job of BSC to provide OMU signal and make site-on-air.
