6 Preparation
Populate the SSIS with IP data from MTAT for the BB, then upload the SSI to the PCI tool to
generate the ZT Project zip file.
4G_5G Script

7 Remote Procedure
On the actual day of integration cutover (connecting the radios to the new baseband):
PA10 2023-05-24
Open the CMART by clicking on the Change ID. At the bottom of the CMART verify Number
of Breaks and Duration of Breaks.
For ZT to proceed, the router needs to have DHCP configured. Check How to Check if a
Router is Ready for ZT Integration (Web view). This configuration should now be standard
on all routers.
PA10 2023-05-24
PA10 2023-05-24
If LKF is unavailable, ensure sitebasic xml has integration unlocked and nodeinfo xml
updated to set install license to false. (this step is already done by PCI tool)
7.2.2 Import the End Entity (EE) in ENM (ZT automates this process)
It is NOT required to manually import the EE into ENM. ZT automates this process.
7.2.4 Drag and Drop the Updated Auto_Provisioning_Standard zip file into workspace area
Open up ENM CLI and add the project zip fie (scripts) by drag and drop
4G Gen2 (BB): run “ap order file: filename.zip” on CLI to create project in Auto-Provisioning
tool
7.2.6 Use the provided ap status command to ensure the order = completed.
PA10 2023-05-24
Note: if order is failed, go to “Auto-provisioning” tool and check relevant project. Under
project there will be the relevant site and here you can export logs which can provide
information on why the order failed. Generally, it is due a fault in the script which does the
pass the ENM initial parser.
• If the serial number was not known during script creation then a “Late Hardware
Bind” is required. Once the serial number has been received by the field technical
you may perform late binding by the following two methods:
Note: It is critical that the correct serial number get sent to the NIC.
We must always use the serial number marked as KRK 101 05/11 for the Zero
Touch process, and the bracketed “(S)” is not part of the serial number but was
included in the attached list.
Example:
Method one in auto provisioning tool click on relevant project and relevant node and select
Bind. You will be prompted for a serial number at which point you enter the serial number
and continue
Confidentiality Class External Confidentiality Label Document Type Page
PA10 2023-05-24
Method two you can run the following bind command in CLI, for example:
FT connects the TN port of the BB, to the prepared port of the pre-commissioned
router.
ENIC opens the required port on the router, to enable BB to have acces to the
network
Now on site the field technician just needs to (A) power on the unit and/or (B) factory reset
unit if hardware has pre-existing config on it
• If pre-existing config on the node the node will need to be factory reset. There are two
methods to do this à
PA10 2023-05-24
At this point the BB6630 should boot up and automatically scan for a VLAN. The DHCP will
be configured to a specific VLAN which when scanned by the BB6630 will provide an IP
allocation. The Node will then connect to the AIWS which will trigger downloading the
config and software for the node.
OR
Use the ap status command to view the node integration status, for example:
ap status -n Enb610
It is assumed that remote connectivity to the node is available before executing this step. If
a DRAN site is being integrated and there is no remote connectivity to the node, perform
following checks:
PA10 2023-05-24
2. If the port is unlocked and there is no remote connectivity to the node, request tech to
swap the fibres on the TN port and confirm if connectivity is established.
3. If above steps do not restore connectivity to the node, confirm with the site tech that a
correct SFP type is used in line with the distance between BB and R6471. That is, a long
range SFP may need to be used in cases where the distance between the BB and R6471
is large.
But to prevent the system created cv getting removed at node escalated restart, manually
create a cv backup and make it startable.
cvms SITE_CONFIG_COMPLETE_1
Eg:
Use netconf command to load sequentially each of the netconf files in the directory.
netconf 03_TN_[xxx].xml
netconf 04_RN_ENBF_[xxx].xml
netconf 05_RN_CUUP_[xxx].xml
netconf PostInstall_[xxx].xml
Confidentiality Class External Confidentiality Label Document Type Page
PA10 2023-05-24
If any command fails, please record the details log and seek support.
Note: After executing 09_RN xml file, a node restart will create a system cv
Escalation_default_[date_time]+0000
netconf Delta_NetConf_[Node_Name].xml
lpr qos
7.3.4.2 Use diff command to generate a delta load file and load it
The above script should align the node as if Post PA has been loaded. This will allow post
PA to be done at a later time (< 3 business day from integration)

Due to over subscription(again) of the NTP servers in NSW and VIC, we have deployed a
second set of references in these regions.
We have used a script with an inbuilt algorithm to balance the load between these servers
and would like Ericsson to use the same script to ensure consistency across the network.
Going forward can you please run the following script from enm1/3 on all G2 LTE nodes to
ensure you are pointing to the latest set of ‘correct’ servers:
run /home/shared/common/TNIC/G2_NTP_Configuration.mos

DON’T FORGET THIS STEP: As part of the 5G network build the DÉCOR feature has been
GAR’d and we now have XXX 5G MME’s online. These are defined on the DNS and the
termPointToMme links from the eNodeB are automatically configured with default
parameter settings. To control how traffic is assigned within the network we need to ensure
that the dcnType attribute on these XXX MO’s are set to SPECIFIC (1).
For WA/SA:
Note: Dibbler post PA will set the dcntype automatically but these should be set prior to
PA.

If still NOT NOT (RNT_TIME_LOCKED) after running the above commands, log in to the
router and check the ptp sync status:
show synchronization tod input
show synchronization equipment-clock
show synchronization ptp-port
If you see Signal fail, 1pps (Major) or Equipment Clock Loss Reference 1 (Major), raise a CT
to build team to install the missing GPS/TOD cables.
If ptpPacketsRx or ptpPacketsTx are not pegged, then try to re-run the above mos file to
delete and redefine, then check the counters again. Also try blocking the remote TN port
and check the local TN port is disabled to confirm the plumbing is correct.
For local links over Hybrid feeder (ie R503 to Radio up pole or BB6630 DRAN to
radio 2212/2217/4480):
For local links within hut (ie BB6630 DRAN to Radio4480 inside the hut):
It should be -120 dbm for L700 and the delta should be < 3db

If xml files still do not appear, please delete and recreate the NE in ENM as per node
creation step in the MOP, then check again.

Confidentiality Class External Confidentiality Label Document Type Page
PA10 2023-05-24
Due to b2Threshold1Rsrp at -130 dbm and b2Threshold2RscpUtra at -108 dbm, the volte
call will be handed over to 3G if the LTE is worse than -130 dbm and the 3G RSCP is better
than -108. For solution 76, this SRVCC (volte to CSFB) release is often observed at between
9 to 12 km from the site if both 3G and 4G are on air.
Therefore, to allow L700 intersite handover to occur, we have to lock W850 to allow the FE
to travel more than 9 to 12 km without SRVCC, so he can reach the cell border (around
20km) to detect the neighbour L700 for handover to occur.
Alternatively, if the FE can band lock the UE to B28 and select 4G only, then he should be
able to avoid a SRVCC to reach the cell border for handover to occur.

With these tools, we can check 3G 000 call on LAC level, so we need to make sure the cells
we are to soft lock do not fall into one of these LAC.
For 4G, the tools give us 000 on cell level, so we can check if our cell is one of the listed 000
cells. If not, hard lock the cell is the current Telstra procedure.
1. If ZT fails to complete (TN port down/no OAM to BB), request FE to obtain the AI

2. During ZT AI, login to the router and issue command: show arp-cache all to find the
DHCP IP address allocated to the BB
