mode.
You can connect to the BTS site locally or remotely. Local connection means direct
connection between a PC with BTS Site Manager and the BTS, using a 10baseT Ethernet
cable with an RJ-45 connector. Remote connection can be established through data
communication network (DCN). In create commissioning file mode you can create a
commissioning file without a connection to the BTS site.
BTS Site Manager Online Help
The help system in the BTS Site Manager is available through the Help menu and from the
software as context-sensitive help.
To access help from the Help menu, choose Help ► BTS Site Manager Help.
To access help from views and dialog boxes, press F1 and the help system will display the
relevant help topic.
If there is a
button in a view, dialog box or message box, clicking it will redirect you to a
corresponding help topic.
1.3 Introduction to BTS site commissioning
Introduction to the BTS commissioning procedure.
Generic commissioning tasks
Commissioning involves a sequence of tasks, such as visual checks, parameter and SW
configurations, tests and reporting, to ensure that the stand-alone equipment in question
has been properly installed, has no faulty modules and is ready for integration.
The generic commissioning steps can be seen in Figure: Commissioning overview. Details of
each step depend on the equipment and its version and can be found in the relevant
documentation.
Note:
From WN6.0 onwards the autoconnection procedure starts automatically when the
BTS starts up and initializes transport connections to the upper network elements.
During the autoconnection procedure, the transport part for online changes is
disabled. The autoconnection procedure stops when a full configuration file is sent to
the BTS and activated.

Nokia BTS Commissioning Overview
Power on
The first part of the visual check is performed before connecting the BTS site to the power
system. When the user is sure that everything is fully functional, the 'Power on' check is
performed and the LED status is verified. The equipment is checked visually to ensure that
there are no fatal installation errors, which might lead to equipment damage during the
power on.
The following items are checked:
Grounding
Power cabling and supply voltage
Other cables and fibres
LED status during power up
TX/RX/antenna connector torque (does not apply to Flexi Zone Controller)
For more information, refer to the hardware product description, installation, and cabling
documentation.
Performing commissioning
The Flexi BTS and/or Flexi Transport sub-module (TRS) can be commissioned with the
Commissioning wizard in the BTS Site Manager. Commissioning can be started when the
modules are in the 'Initialised' state.
The wizard features Back, Next, Cancel and Help buttons for navigation. The Next
button confirms entered parameters and redirects the use to the next page in each
commissioning line. The Back button redirects the user to the previous page in the wizard.
The Cancel button cancels all parameters that have been entered and closes the wizard.
The Help button displays the corresponding help topic. All fields marked with a red star are
mandatory and need to filled in order to proceed to the next step.
For more detailed information on various commissioning parameters and options, see
context sensitive help topic for each page; either by pressing F1 key, or using the help icon.
All parameter changes are sent to the BTS site after going through all the available
commissioning steps in the Send Parameters step, and the site reset is done (if required).
Only then changes are reflected. Commissioning parameters can be saved in an XML file for
future reference.
For more information on certain features, see LTE <release>, Feature Descriptions and
Instructions or WCDMA <release>, Feature Descriptions and Instructions.

For more information on different configuration types, see Flexi Multiradio BTS WCDMA
Supported Configurations Excel in the Support Portal or LTE Base Stations Supported
Configurations Excel.
To utilize full capacity and all of the features of the WCDMA BTS, necassary licenses have to
be downloaded to the BTS from Nokia NetAct™. For more information on licenses, see the
WCDMA RAN License Operation document.
Autoconnection enabled
This step is automatic if the autoconnection feature is enabled. If autoconnection is not
enabled, the connection to the BTS must be done manually.
This feature enables automatic connection to servers in the network, and an automatic
establishment of the BTS connection with the O&M system. Only HW and cabling need to be
installed on site. There is no need for an experienced telecom personnel to be at the site
during the commissioning of the BTS, as the integration of a newly installed BTS is fully
automated. When the BTS is powered on, it automatically checks the BTS commissioning
status, establishes IP connectivity, and retrieves operator certificate and trust anchors
(optional). As soon as the final certificates are available, the BTS starts the secure O&M
plane connection to the NetAct framework.
Autoconnection status window will not appear if any part of the eNB has been
commissioned.
Autoconfiguration enabled
This step is performed automatically if autoconfiguration is enabled. If autoconfiguration is
disabled, the BTS can be configured remotely using O&M connection established by the
autoconnection feature, or locally.
The BTS autoconfiguration feature provides automatic commissioning and configuration of
a new, or re-homed base stations, from a remote network operation center with minimal
manual intervention. The automated configuration is initiated by the eNB autoconfiguration
agent and controlled by the NetAct autoconfiguration application, which belongs to the
NetAct SON coordinator application.
For a detailed description of the autoconfiguration feature, see the SON Management
document.

Nokia BTS Commissioning Overview
SW update
This step lists all the actions required to update and/or download SW to the equipment or to
the PC for on-site equipment management. When autoconnection and autoconfiguration
are enabled, software updates are fully automated. When disabled, software must be
updated locally (autoconnection disabled) or remotely (autoconfiguration disabled).
In case of SW update performed via BTS Site Manager (BTS SM) over Local Management Port
(LMP) during the autoconnection failure, the operator must re-initiate the SW update via the
BTS SM over LMP.
Note, that for Flexi Zone Micro BTS and Flexi Zone Indoor Pico BTS site reset is not triggered
after SW update when the autoconfiguration is in use.
Downloading commissioning file from NetAct
This step is automatic if autoconnection and autoconfiguration features are enabled. NetAct
downloads the configuration file to the BTS and activates it. During the activation, the site is
reset.
Commissioning tests
This step lists the key tests that need to be carried out to ensure the basic functionality of
the equipment in question. Some of the tests are automatically activated, some of them are
run as a part of the Commissioning wizard, and some might need to be activated
manually. Some of the tests are optional and are run for diagnostic purposes if there is a
reason to suspect a fault in functionality.
Typical tests and measurements available for WCDMA BTS:
External alarm and control tests
Site support system alarms tests
RF max power measurement (optional test)
Some of the functional tests need more parameters than those available during the
commissioning. They can be run only after the network element has been integrated and
can retrieve the remaining parameters from the RNC.
Typical tests and measurements available for LTE BTS:
External alarm and control tests
Internal loop tests
Site tests

Nokia BTS Commissioning Overview
See BTS Site Manager Help for more information.
Integration (applicable only for LTE releases)
In the final configuration phase, the BTS establishes S1 connection with the configured MME.
If IPsec is activated, then the appropriate IPSec Tunnel (or tunnels) - created before the
SCTP associations - is established. In case of completely pre-configured neighbor site
configurations, the relevant X2 SCTP connections are set up as well.
Parameter setup
If autoconnection and autoconfiguration are disabled, the parameters have to be entered
locally or remotely after entering basic parameters for O&M connection. This can be done in
three ways (SW update may be necessary before the parameter setup):
Using a commissioning file where all parameters are predefined.
Using a template commissioning file where the site-specific parameters need to be
entered manually.
By entering all the parameters manually.
This step contains all the actions required to set up parameters for commissioning and
integration. Parameters might include software parameters entered manually or as a file.
The equipment specific product documentation will describe the details. The site is reset
after all the required parameters have been entered using one of the methods mentioned
above.
Note:
When a parameter is not mentioned in a commissioning instruction, the parameter
should be left at the default value even if it is possible to change it.
In reconfiguration commissioning it is possible to recommission already commissioned
network elements. Resets might follow if necessary. Reconfiguration commissioning can be
used, for example, in site maintenance.
Troubleshooting
The purpose of troubleshooting is to fix the problems found during the test and, if
necessary, run further tests to identify the cause of the problem. Information about
troubleshooting and optional tests can be found in the equipment specific documentation.

Nokia BTS Commissioning Overview
To avoid repetition, it is essential to be aware of the currently known problems. The
Technical Notes (TN), List of Generic Faults and Change Deliveries (CD) should be studied
occasionally in order to check the latest information about problems and work-around
solutions.
Based on the experience and HW repair statistics about the cause of the faults, the most
popular problem is: 'no fault found'. To avoid unnecessary shipping, waiting for spare parts
and 'no fault found' reports, it is essential to double-check the faulty module before sending
it for repair.
Once the faulty module is identified and the replacement has cleared the problem, the
original module needs to be tested once more. In many cases the solution of the problem is
power off/on-reset or plug off/push in reset.
When the module is suspected or proven faulty, the appropriate error report attached to
the log or test report file is filled in. The following information needs to be clearly indicated
in the report:
Site and equipment identification
Module identification
Which test indicated that the module might be faulty
What other modules were suspected
What parameters were used
What other tests failed
What was the error/fault message/alarm number
Which SW version was used
Responsible engineer (who filled the report) and contact info
In case of module replacement the site inventory has to be updated.
Reporting
The most important part of commissioning is reporting. Without relevant reports the
equipment can be considered uncommissioned. The purpose of reporting is to keep track of
the current status of the equipment and the history of the work done. Some newer devices
support features where the reports are automatically updated in the main database in the
NetAct™ system, some need a few manual steps, and some require reports to be
saved/printed manually. Typical reports are:
commissioning report produced by the Commissioning wizard of BTS Site Manager.
autoconfiguration report.
snapshot file saved by BTS Site Manager.

(192.168.255.127) IP address. If older System Modules are used, the LMP cable
must be connected to a System Module with a WCDMA or LTE connection.
The available IP addresses vary depending on the product.
3
To establish a remote connection, define the IP address of the remote BTS (WCDMA),
or in LTE, enter the M-PLANE IP address.
Note:
A remote connection works with a Management Plane address. It is either TRS IP
(in ATM Iub case) or M-plane Application Address (in Dual Iub and Iub IP cases).
It is not possible to establish a remote connection via BTS IP from RU20 On Top
onwards (WCDMA).
4
Enter the User name and Password.
The default user name is Nemuadmin and the default password nemuuser.
By using web interfaces, local user account information can be reset to factory settings
(Nemuadmin/nemuuser) via local connection. The AXC and MRS transport element
(WCDMA) or FTM transport module (LTE) enables recovery of the transport module.
Recovery erases the configuration settings except for:
super user account credentials.
NE account credentials (if they exist).

4. Updating BTS Site Software
Procedure on how to update BTS Site SW.
Purpose
System release upgrade should always be done in a top down approach, that is:
1. NetAct upgrade
2. OMS upgrade
3. BTS upgrade
For more information, see LTE System Upgrade or WCDMA System Upgrade depending on
the technology in use.
The software for the transmission sub-module, Radio Modules and Radio Heads is included
in the software package for the BTS site and cannot be upgraded separately. Software
upgrades can either be performed manually for each BTS using BTS Site Manager, or
automatically via the Network Management System (NetAct).
Updating the BTS site software is optional and should only be done if the BTS does not have
the required software version.
In the Update SW to BTS Site dialog box the BTS Site Software can be updated. This
procedure does not download application files that already exist in the Flexi WCDMA BTS or
Flexi Transport sub-module that have the same version information. You can view the
current SW versions in the Site Information dialog box by choosing the Software →
SW Versions menu item.
Note:
If the BTS site is connected to Nokia NetAct™, NetAct manages the BTS site SW (that
is, checks the SW version and, if it is different than the SW in the NetAct database,
downloads new SW in the BTS site).
Note:
In case of SW fallback or SW rollback from WBTS16 to WN9.1, the passive software
version may be displayed incorrectly.

Nokia BTS Commissioning Overview
Note:
If managed objects in commissioning data of the currently running SW version are
deleted (for example removing a cell or RF module in commissioning) and a SW
rollback is triggered, the commissioning data is lost. In this case, recommissioning
must be performed.
Note:
FSMF is delivered with Factory Delivered SW (FDSW). Site Manager does not detect any
RFMs/RRHs and ALDs until the System Module is updated with appropriate technology
SW. For details, see the Technical Support Note: TS-SRAN-HW-0108.
Procedure
1
Launch BTS Site Manager.
2
Choose Software ► Update SW to BTS Site menu item.
The Update SW to BTS Site dialog box opens.
3
Click the Select File button to locate the master file containing the new software.
The Select Build Descriptor dialog box opens.
Locate and select the master file (TargetBD.xml or SW package zip file), and click the
Open button. If the zip file is selected and you click Open, the files are decompressed.
The new SW version is displayed in the Update SW to BTS Site dialog box.
4
Select the Activate SW After Update check box to enable the activation of the
new software in accordance with SW updating.
If you do not want to activate the new software after downloading it, you can leave this
option unchecked. This way, the SW is downloaded to the BTS site but not
implemented. To activate the SW later with the Activate SW After Update option
selected, you have to perform the SW update again. Activating the software with
Activate SW After Update is a faster option, because single files will not be
installed.
5
Click the Update button.

Update button is enabled if a valid master file has been selected.
SW download takes about 20 minutes. The time might depend on the number of items
to be downloaded and the bandwidth of the DCN connection. The Update Progress
steps show the transfer status. Wait for the SW update to be complete. If the
Activate SW After Update check box was selected, the SW is activated and the
site will be reset.
To stop the SW update, click the Stop button.
If SW update failed via BTS SM over LMP during the autoconnection, re-initiate the SW
update in the BTS SM over LMP.

Overview of the commissioning procedure
Purpose
Below you will find an overview of the BTS site commissioning. There are four different
commissioning types:
1. Template Commissioning
Template commissioning allows to commission network elements using a predefined
template file. Since the same configurations are commonly used in several network
elements, commissioning file can be stored and used as a template file when
commissioning elements, for example, with a similar hardware configuration. This
significantly reduces the number of parameters that need to be configured as only site
specific parameters need to be changed, for example BTS name, ID and IP address. Site
specific parameters are configured on the Site Properties and BTS Settings, as well as
Radio Network Configuration (mainly for LNBTS managed object, LTE-specific)
commissioning pages.
2. Planned Commissioning
Planned commissioning allows to commission network elements by uploading a
commissioning file, designed for the BTS site to the Flexi BTS and/or Flexi Transport submodule.
The commissioning file can be prepared with the Plan Editor tool in NetAct Radio Access
Configurator. The file is downloaded to the PC via the NetAct Radio Access Configurator Site Configuration Tool. For more information on the procedures in plan-based
commissioning with Radio Access Configurator, see the Rolling out the WCDMA RAN
document in the Nokia NetAct Radio Access Configurator product documentation
(relevant only for WCDMA releases).
You can also create the commissioning file with BTS Site Manager. For more information,
see BTS Site Manager Online Help.
3. Manual Commissioning
If there are no commissioning files available, Flexi BTS site requires manual
commissioning.
4. Reconfiguration Commissioning
Reconfiguration commissioning allows to commission network elements that have been
commissioned before. Reconfiguration can be used in case when a new configuration can
possibly solve a problem, or releases HW resources for another site and/or makes an
element function more efficiently. During the reconfiguration, the site remains
operational until the mandatory site reset when the commissioning is complete.

All parameters needed to configure the BTS site are determined at the network planning
stage. It is essential that the input values match the expected values in the network plan.
For more information on commissioning parameters, see the Flexi Multiradio BTS LTE
Commissioning, RNW and Transmission Parameters or Flexi Multiradio BTS WCDMA
Parameters Excel depending on the technology used.
Procedure
1
Make sure that the BTS is switched on.
2
Connect BTS Site Manager with the target BTS you are intending to commission.
If commissioning failed via BTS SM over LMP during the autoconnection, re-initiate the
commissioning in the BTS SM over LMP.
3
Select Commissioning from the View Bar, and select the appropriate commissioning
type.
4
Go through each commissioning page and select all relevant settings.
Detailed information on available commissioning settings can be found in BTS Site
Manager Online Help. For instructions on how to access the BTS Site Manager
Online Help, see About BTS Site Manager.
5
Check the commissioning.
Note:
It is recommended to change default credentials after successful commissioning.
