The number of TRXs that can be associated for that local sector is also based in this selection. A local sector must have at least one antenna and its Per TRX power defined. Each local sector associated to RF Module also has the option of Dynamic power pooling. Dynamic power pooling is a feature which enables unu power from different TRXs to be used dynamically between other TRXs of the same sector. Dynamic power pooling does not work in local mode. Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE feature de scription document for the description of this feature. The local sectors configured using this screen are mapped to the BTS objects. This mapping is done based on the local sector information in the and the BTS objects information received via BTS_CONF_DATA sent by the BSC.

Enter the antenna settings parameters. Select the antenna from the available antennas and configure antenna line settings and MHA settings as described below. Feeder Voltage: Defines the voltage level supplied to the antenna line. Possible values are 0, 12, and 24 for TX RX Main antennas and 0 and 12 f Div antennas. If th e MHA is far away from th e BTS, more feede r voltage may be needed. Some MHA types also have wider input v range and may require more feeder voltage than 12 V. Feeder Loss: Defines the total antenna line losses between the High Gain MHA and the BTS (including cables, jumpers and connectors). Value -99.0 to 0.0 dB. Feeder Loss value is only considered by the BTS SW if MHAs are used and defined. The BTS automatically sets the gain own internal low-noise amplifiers according to the feeder loss value to ensure an optimal RF performance of the entire BT (uplink) chain. If there are no MHAs, the BTS internal LNAs run at maximum gain, regardless of the feeder loss. VSWR minor limit: Specifies VSWR minor limit for TxRx antennas. Range of values is 1.5 to 3.3, in steps of 0.2 (default value is 1.9). VSWR major limit: Specifies VSWR major limit for TxRx antennas. Range of values is 1.7 to 3.5, in steps of 0.2 (default value is 2.7). VSWR threshold ranges (minor and major) are coupled, so for example, VSWR minor limit can be set to 3.3 only if the ma is first set to 3.5.

LNA number: If AISG 2.0 capable MHA type is selected, you can specify the LNA number inside one MHA. The values for LNA are, LNA1, LNA2, Not Defined. For Non-AISG 2.0 MHA “Not Defined” is use d. Bypass supported: If the MHA is bypass capable, it has an internal RF switch to bypass the MHA amplifier chain in case of a failure. Select the option by pass supported”. Alarm threshold: MHA is assumed to be working normally if its current consumption remains below this limit. The correct value depends on the actu model used on the antenna line. Note that the current consumption measurement accuracy is +/- 20 mA, so this needs to be take account, if the default limits are adjusted. For MHA types Motorola 7 .68 MHz and AISG 2.0 that a re commissioned at 24 V, the Alarm threshold is not used.
To ensure optimal RF performance and to avoid unexpected alarms, always ensure that the Antenna line and MHA settin correct for the actual MHA type used in the antenna line.

With this option, you can enable/disable the Abis Signal Mapping feature. The default value for this option is ‘disabled’. This feature allows the BSC to d ynamically provide the Abis allocations ( TRXSIG, TCH, EDAP) for a BTS. The allocations ar e received from BSC every time the site starts or when the BCF is reset. Consider the following while using the option: The OMUSIG must be allocated manually so that the BSC can communicate with the BTS. For other optional interfaces, o TRXSIG must be allocated manually as ref erence signal. EDAP timeslot allocations will be sent by the BSC only if EGPRS is activated ( EGENA=Y). Allo w Ab is all oc ati on s f ro m BTS Man age r . With this option, you can enable/disable the Allow Abis Allocation from BTS Manager feature. When the option is enabled, you can allocate the Abis allocations from the BTS Manager but these allocations can be overridden by the BSC. The BTS Manager displays warning message once this option is selected. The default value for this option is ‘disabled’. A restriction with this feature is that it might be unable to t ake into account the possible cross-con nections in the Abis line. Th BTS believes the Abis timeslot allocations as defined on BSC but they may not be the same anymore on the BTS end due to cross-connections (if TS offset is also used).

The Condition defines which bits of the loop protected routes should be checked to determine whether an interface is faulty. There are two types of conditions. A ‘Priority’ condition type can be used if one of the two routes is considered "better" than the other, as the BTS will switch back to the priority route after the faulty condition in the priority route is removed. An ‘Equal’ condition type can be used when the two routes are of equal quality; no change-over to the previous route is performed unless the current route fails.

Only one EOC channel can be made for each Interface. Q1 Polling Mode is displayed in the online mode. The values can be BTS Polling or BSC Polling . In BTS polling, Flexi Multiradio BTS supervises (is Q1 master) all internal or external transmission equipment connected to the BTS. In BSC polling, the BSC supervises all transmission equipment (is Q1 master). The external equipment can be connected to the BTS through Q1 ca or via configured Q1 EOC channel. The polling mode cannot be changed manually at the BTS but is the result of the configuration at the BSC. In the Flexi Multiradio BTS, it is not necessary to manually configure any Q1 switches to establish the internal Q1 paths. The configuration is done automatically based on the Q1 polling mode. As a consequence all internal or external transmission devices connected to the BTS must be either BT polled or BSC polled. A combination of polling modes is not possible. This must be observed particularly when configuring the external devices (connected either through Q1 cable or EOC channel). For information on the Q1 settings of the external transmission devices, see the device's manual.
