Login to the BTS using BTS Site Manager.

User name : Nemuadmin

Password : nemuuser

Accept the self-signed BTS certificate.

Login to BTS Using BTS Site Manager

Note :

Select and use the right version of BTS Site Manager which is compatible with the SW package of the LTE BTS.

E.g. for BTS SW package release version LN3.0_ENB_1103_772_11, use BTS Site Manager version 3.0.1203.


Update New SW to BTS

Update new SW to the BTS and take the new SW into use. The contents of the SW package are defined in a master file (i.e. TargetBD.xml or SW package zip file).

SW update takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.

Irwan Radius / v1.0 / 11.01.2013

(4) In the BTS commissioning file template, PCI, RACH root sequence, and TAC are set to dummy (temporary) value.

The final value is provided by Optimisation team and saved in a file located in the server under the following directory :

T:\LTE Parameters (or \\nasftc\LTE Parameters)

Immediately after the site is commissioned, commissioning engineer on the site will inform Config team, get the final value of PCI,

RACH root sequence, and TAC of the site, and update them to the BTS accordingly.



The following parameters also need to be checked (in every cell) :

Administrative state

Rank indication reporting enable

For MIMO site, rank indication reporting enable is set to true.

However, for non-MIMO site, rank indication reporting enable has to be set to false.

Administrative state of each cell should be set to locked.

Administrative state can be changed to unlocked only after :

antenna installation is finished and antenna settings are modified accordingly

MHA installation and auto-detection are completed and MHA settings are modified accordingly

PCI, RACH root sequence, and TAC are set to the final value

Click Send Parameters to send the commissioning parameters to the BTS.

Note that once the Send Parameters button is clicked, the process cannot be canceled.



- Modify Antenna Line Settings

Irwan Radius / v3.0 / 08.02.2013


Modify Antenna Line Settings

After antenna sweep and auto-detection of MHA :

check that Antenna Line Management and AISG MHA Settings have been automatically updated.

add additional data i.e. Installation date, BTS ID, and Sector ID in AISG MHA Settings

modify Antenna Line Settings accordingly (e.g. total loss).

Irwan Radius / v3.0 / 08.02.2013



- Verify BTS State & Check Alarms

Irwan Radius / v3.0 / 08.02.2013


Verify BTS State After Integration & Check Alarms

Once integrated, the BTS operational state should show On air and the TRS operational state should show TRS commissioned.

Once communication is established with iOMS, OAM state should show OAM connected.

If GTP-U supervision is enabled, check to make sure that there is no GTP-U Path Failure alarm related to the connection to S-GW.

Check to make sure that there is no S1 SCTP Path Failure alarm related to the connection to MME.
