3. GENERAL PRESENTATION

3.1. GENERALITIES

The TIL COAM is used during the installation phase of the BTS, in order to check

hardware and software status and to check equipment substitution or extension.

The TIL COAM is a Windows application, so all actions can be done with the left

button of the mouse, by clicking on a menu, on a radio button, or on a push button.

If in the title of an available function, a letter is underlined, the user can also use the

keyboard with the "underlined letter" keys to do this function (This is a Windows

standard functionality).

The TIL icon is in the Start Menu bar as per the path:

Start menu→Programs→Tml→ BTS Tools-→Til coam” version”→Til coam

The TIL icon for the Windows XP in the Start menu bar is as per the path:

Start menu -> All Programs -> Tml→ BTS Tools-→Til coam” version”→Til

coam

3.2. CONFIGURATION

The TIL COAM is a software package running on a windows machine under Windows

95/98/2000/NT/XP environment, including one standard Ethernet board and TCP/IP

protocol connectivity over the LAN to the CBCF/SBCF/CSWM/ICM/ECELL.

When using the "peer to peer" connection mode (described below), ensure that a

twisted pair cable is used between the PC and the BCF board.

Note: Check that an IP address and a network mask are defined in network

configuration panel on the PC.

3.3. CONNECTION MODES

3.3.1 USING NETWORK

You can run the TIL application on an Ethernet network, with the IP address of the

BCF board to open a TIL COAM session.

3.3.2 USING PEER-PEER

This connection mode is generally used in site installation because it is not necessary

to know IP address of the BCF board. With this mode, you need a twisted pair cable

and TIL application to establish the connection with the BCF board.

Note:

You should not use this mode with a network for establishing a TIL session.

If the operator uses the peer to peer connection mode on network, some boards

connected to the network would have the same IP address and it will be impossible to



connect a TIL on these targets, unless resetting each board or flashing a different IP

on the BCF.



3.4. BTS MODES

3.4.1 STANDALONE

In this mode, the BTS is not linked to the BSC and does not receive any message on

the Abis interface. At the end of the Standalone tests, the operator must disconnect

the TIL and reset the BCF board, to enable the BCF responds to Abis messages.

(Connected mode)

3.4.2 CONNECTED MODE

In this mode, the BTS is operational, linked to the BSC and may receive messages on

the Abis interface, during intervention with the TIL COAM.

The TIL can be connected and disconnected to the BCF, without disturbing the BTS.



3.5. GENERAL OPERATIONS

3.5.1 CONFIGURATION PANEL

(Refer Figure2 for the Configuration window)

When you run TIL application, a configuration panel appears, with the following

options .As soon as the configuration parameters are properly chosen, the connection

can be established and a view of the working BTS will be displayed.

LANGUAGE:

French or English

COLOUR ASSOCIATED TO THE STATE:

The following table shows the default values:

STATE COLOUR

Not defined Yellow Absent Grey Present and Slave not connected

White

Hardware fault Black Slave stand-alone Orange State NOK Red State OK Green

The operator can choose the colour indicating a given state.

« State NOK » corresponds to bists result NOK or to a present alarm.



Figure 1: Color Selector

The explanations given in the following paragraphs refer to the default value

of the colors. The color of the status can be changed through the window

shown in Figure 1

RESULT SAVE MODE:

� Automatic : The results are saved automatically after each test and

also by the action of the operator. ”Save “icon will not be enabled except for certain tests. (Refer Appendix 6.8 for more details.)

� Manual : The results are saved only by the action of the operator. ”Save” icon will be enabled for all the tests.

SITE INFORMATION:

These three fields are mandatory and are written in Result files.

� Site name

� Site code

� User name

CONFIGURATION:

• Hardware configuration:

� S8000 CBCF

� S8000 CSWM

� S8002 CBCF



� S2000 SBCF

� E-cell

� BTS 18000

� BTS 18000 MCPA

� BTS 6000

� BTS 18000 (R)ICAM

� BTS 6000 (R)ICAM

• Type of BTS cabinet for S2000 SBCF:

� S11, S22/O4, O2, O1, 02 single feeder, O4 single feeder

• Number of cabinets for S8000, S8002, e-cell, BTS 18000, BTS 6000 ,

BTS 18000 MCPA, BTS18000 (R)ICAM and BTS6000 (R)ICAM.

• For S8000 CBCF and for each cabinet (Refer Figure 2)

� Presence of CC8 coupling: When CC8 coupling mode is selected,

all the functionality relative to CC8 and CA are accessible.

� For CC8 coupling mode selected, the presence of VSWR meter

alarm integrated in the main diplexer.

Figure 2: Configuration panel of S8000 CBCF

If the operator clicks on « OK » button, the TIL displays the cabinet view

corresponding to the configuration selected above. There is no connection

with a BTS, the colored rectangles associated to the boards are yellow (i.e.

state not defined). So you can see the cabinet view without connecting to a

BTS.



If the operator clicks on « Connection » button, a dialogue box appears to ask

in which mode operator wants to connect the TIL.

If the operator chooses the network mode, operator has to enter the IP

address of the BCF board. If operator chooses "peer to peer" connection,

operator must confirm his choice.

ALARMS CONFIGURATION FILE:

When the user clicks “Browse” button in the Alarm configuration, TIL displays

the list of the available alarms configuration files.

The alarms file description corresponding to the configuration BTS has to be

selected. The figure below shows an example of list:

Figure 3: Alarm Configuration



Figure 4: Alarm configuration window for BTS 18000, BTS 18000 MCPA

Figure 5: Alarm configuration window for BTS 6000



Figure 6: Alarm configuration window for BTS 18000 (R)ICAM

Figure 7: Alarm configuration window for BTS 6000 (R)ICAM



When the user clicks “Browse” button in the Alarm configuration, TIL displays

the list of the available alarm configuration files with corresponding

Configuration Reference (DLU) files.

The alarms file description corresponding to the configuration BTS has to be

selected. Ref Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7.

In connected mode for BTS18000/BTS18000 MCPA/BTS 6000/BTS18000

(R)ICAM/BTS6000 (R)ICAM, TIL will detect any inconsistency between the

chosen Alarm Configuration (or it’s absence if not chosen) and the

Configuration Reference (DLU) used by the BTS.

TIL application will check the consistency between the selected alarm

configuration file and the Configuration Reference (DLU) used by the BTS at

the start up. If not consistent, TIL will display a message prompting the user to

select the correct Configuration Reference (DLU) file in v16. In v17, TIL will

inform the user and selects the correct Configuration Reference(DLU) file. If

the user again selects the wrong Configuration Reference (DLU), TIL

application will not display Configuration Reference (DLU) information in the

title bar and no more validation is done.



3.5.2 CONNECTION MODES

STANDALONE

To establish the connection in Stand-alone mode any one of the following can

be adopted:

• The user may “Lock” the BTS sitemanager object at the OMC - R and

wait for the active BCF to come up, to establish the TIL connection, to display

the cabinet views.

• Without Locking the sitemanager object at the OMC - R, reset the

active BCF and launch the TIL application within few seconds, before the

active BCF comes up. There is a finite window of time opportunity, where TIL

presence may be detected by the active BCF board.

Note: If there is no BSC, it is not necessary to reset the BTS before launching

the TIL application.

CONNECTED

In connected mode, the TIL detects automatically that the BTS is connected to

the BSC. So, as soon as the connection with the BCF is established, the TIL

displays the cabinet view.

Figure 8: Connecting mode



4. MAIN FUNCTIONS OF TIL

In both stand-alone and connected mode, the configuration BTS screen shows

the boards in the cabinet, associated to the BTS configuration:

The DRX/E-DRX type, the PA / ePA, the Frequency band Information (GSM

900, GSM 850, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, EGSM 900, RGSM etc), the Slave ID

info are displayed on the DRX buttons for all the BTS types.

The RM types, the TDMA, the frequency band information, the slave ID info is

displayed for BTS 18000/BTS 6000/BTS18000 MCPA/BTS18000 (R)ICAM/

BTS6000 (R)ICAM.

In Connected mode and only for BTS 18000/BTS6000/BTS18000 MCPA/

BTS18000 (R)ICAM/BTS6000 (R)ICAM, TIL will graphically display the

mapping between each configured Sector and its associated TDMA. A color-

coded frame around the related TDMA represents the sector to which the

TDMA belongs. Sectors can span across bays, the information about the

sectors spanned across the bays in indicated on the main MMI.

The TIL application automatically detects the sector configuration and the

BCCH carrying TDMA details at start-up. However, since sectors are

dynamically configurable, the user is provided with a mechanism to refresh the

information regarding the Sector and TDMA carrying the BCCH at any point of

time. The graphical representation is updated in accordance with the

information obtained from the BTS.

TIL graphically identifies per sector, the BCCH carrying TDMA. The choice of

BCCH carrying TDMA is configurable and is also subject to dynamic re-

allocations triggered by BSC Defense mechanisms. Consequently, the user is

provided a refresh option to enable the viewing of updated information.

In Connected mode and only for BTS18000/BTS 6000/BTS18000 MCPA/

BTS18000 (R)ICAM/BTS6000 (R)ICAM, TIL application displays the

Configuration Reference (DLU) that is being used by the BTS, provided there

are no inconsistency in the Configuration Reference (DLU) file selected by the

user and Configuration Reference (DLU) file used by the BTS. The

Configuration Reference (DLU) information provided is the Maximum possible

sector configuration.

Refer to Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, Figure 13, Figure 14,
