1 Install and Start the Terminal
This chapter tells you how to install the terminal hardware and software and
then start it.
It describes the terminal and its requirements.
3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02 13 / 168
1.1 Terminal Description
The BTS terminal is a PC connected to a BTS and running terminal software
for accessing BTS O&M functions. For more information about the BTS, refer to
the BTS Functional Description and the BTS 9100/9110 Micro BTS/9110-E
Micro BTS Functional Description.
You can use the BTS terminal to:
Initiate actions in the BTS and view reports associated with these actions
Observe system behavior
Perform local management functions such as monitoring alarms, events,
and states.
1.1.1 Hardware Requirements
The following table shows the hardware requirements for the BTS terminal.
Hardware
Description Characteristics (minimum)
Processor Pentium II, III, 266 MHz
RAM 128 MBytes
Hard disk At least 60 MBytes free for program and data storage
(except software environment).
Diskette drive One drive 3 1/2", 1.4 MByte
CD-ROM drive yes
Interfaces 1x serial interface + 1x PS/2 or 2x serial interface
Video adapter SVGA with 1024x768 pixel resolution
Monitor SVGA
Mouse Serial mouse or PS/2 mouse.
The BTS terminal is connected to the BTS via an RS-232 asynchronous link
cable. This cable is different for each type of BTS to be connected.
1.1.2 Software Requirements
The BTS terminal requires the following software:
Windows 2000 or Windows XP
BTS Terminal application software.
14 / 168 3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02
1.1.3 Communications Protocol
Data exchange between the PC and the BTS uses an RS-232 link and an
Alcatel-Lucent proprietary local protocol.
If a transmission failure in either direction is detected, a retransmission is
attempted automatically. If the transmission is unsuccessful after three
attempts, the terminal software informs you that the interface is malfunctioning.
If transmission is unsuccessful:
Verify that the BTS terminal is not in standalone mode (see Status Bar
(Section 2.1.3)).
Check that the cable is connected correctly between the terminal and the
BTS (see Install the Terminal (Section 1.2)).
Restart the BTS terminal software (see Start the Terminal Software (Section

2.7 Log Files
When the terminal is connected to the BTS and goes into Online Mode, a log
file is opened. The log file is used to store commands sent from the terminal to
the BTS, and reports and data sent from the BTS to the terminal.
If a log file is opened, the previous one is deleted.
A typical log file listing is shown in the following figure.

3.12 Test Fan
This task checks all the fans of an 9100 BTS. At each fan stage, up to three fan
cassettes with two fans each can be installed. All front or back fans of each
stage can be selected to vary their speed for specific test purposes.
Do not perform Reset BTS/Abort Commiss. when running a fan test!
3.12.2 Test Fans
Commissioning -> Fan Test
The FAN Test window is displayed.
Figure 56: FAN Test Window
76 / 168 3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02
The FAN Test window shows a graphic of all stages, fans and states. Front
and back fans are indicated by F or B.
There are different 9100 BTS cabinets with different configurations.
Therefore the composition of the FAN Test window depends on the cabinet
and the configuration.
Note: If there is no fan cassette installed, NEQ (not equipped) is indicated in the
graphic. If the fan cassette is installed but no or defective fans are available,
NOK (not ok) is indicated.
During BTS operation, fan speed is controlled automatically and checked if
increasing or decreasing of speed is correct or not. This check result is
shown in the FAN Test window graphic.
So if a BTS is in operation for some time, no specific fan test is necessary,
because all checks are done and all check results are available.
The following steps describe what to do if the fans have to be tested
nevertheless during the commissioning session.
2. Select a row (stage) of fans which speed shall be varied.
3. Select the speed at which the selected fans are to be tested.
4. Either click on [ UpdateStates ] (to update the fan states) or select Enable

4. Edit the R Bits field to define the time slot and for the Ring Control bits.
7.1.2.3 Modify Abis Time Slot Mapping
Modifying the Abis Mapping changes the time slot in which the data
transmission occurs. The following number of time slots can be mapped: 32
time slots per interface, labelled 1 to 31 (0 (zero) is not allowed).
To modify the Abis Mapping Location:
2. Select a TRE and enter a numerical value (1 to 31) in the time slots fields. 0
(zero) is not allowed.
7.1.2.4 Modify Qmux Nibble Value
Each time slot contains 4 nibbles of 2 bits, i.e., 8 bits in total. As the Qmux
does not require an entire time slot, the Nibble value indicates the location
of the Qmux transmission in time slot (0 to 3) specified in the Qmux Abis
Mapping dialog box.
To modify the Qmux Nibble time slot value:
2. Enter the required value (0-3) in the Nibble [ 0...3 ] field. If you allocate the
Qmux to time slot 0, it is not possible to select a nibble.
3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02 149 / 168
7.1.2.5 Modify Abis Mapping
Abis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs and
their signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for each
TRE in the order of selection. For instance if TRE 1 and TRE 4 are selected,
then time slots 1, 2 are allocated to TRE1 and time slots 4, 5 to TRE 4 (time
slot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocated
TCHs and time slots, as required.
The current configuration can be displayed, by clicking on [ Get Config ].
Change Signal Multiplexing The Signalling drop-down menu allows you to
change the mode of Signal Multiplexing. This defines how many time slots on
the Abis Interface are occupied by signaling traffic for a given number of TCHs.
Modify Abis Mapping -64 kbit/s You can assign 64 kBit signaling channels
to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time
slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system,
but manual allocation is possible.
The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time
slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation
of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a
warning message and aborts the configuration.
To modify the Abis Mapping, using 64 kbit/s:
2. Click on the required TRE check box.
The TRE is automatically assigned two TCHs and a signaling time slot. The
signaling is automatically set to 64 kBit.
3. Repeat Step (2) until all required TREs are assigned.
If a data transmission rate of 64 kBit for signaling (per two traffic channels) is
selected, a maximum of 10 TREs can be assigned. If you attempt to exceed
this number, a warning message is displayed.
In the event that more than 10 TREs require assignment to a single Abis
link, a reduction of the data transmission rate is required, refer to Abis
Mapping 16 kbit/s.
4. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation.
150 / 168 3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02
Modify Abis Mapping -16 kbit/s You can assign 16 kBit signaling channels
to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time
slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system,
but manual allocation is possible.
The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time
slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation
of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a
warning message and aborts the configuration, upon attempted transmission.
To modify the Abis Mapping, using 16 kbit:
1. Open the Transmission Settings window by selecting:
The SUM Board Configuration window displayed. Wait until the current
2. Select the required TRE check box.
3. Select [ Enable 16 kBit ] for the appropriate group, each group contains four
TREs, or select the required Nibble manually.
The signaling rate is automatically set to 16 kBit, using all eight bits per time
slot. The 16 kBit rate provides four Nibbles of two bits (numbered 0 to 3) to
each signaling time slot of a TRE.
4. Repeat Step 2 until all required TREs are assigned.
5. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation, if required.

Config Best Value, a numerical Best Value or a synchronized value,
according to requirements. The range 0-4095 corresponds to a frequency
range of 26 MHz +/-4 Hz (each step equals 0.002 Hz). These values are
described below.
Value Description
Factory Best Value A best value is set at the factory
and is used as a default value for
the OCXO frequency. This value is
stored as a permanent default and
cannot be changed.
Config Best Value The peviously-stored New Best Value
is recalled and used to define the
OCXO frequency.
