Alarm Collection and Reporting
Adjunct equipment at the Cell Site must be connected to the AAI according to the
installation instructions to ensure proper alarm assignment.
New Translations
for the Increased
Cell Alarms
Enhancement
While the cell can identify equipage of the CDMA adjunct via the translations data
base, it cannot identify equipage of the CDPD or Battery adjunct. Therefore, two
new translations—one for the CDPD adjunct and one for the Battery adjunct—
have been created so that the cell can identify the CDPD and Battery adjuncts
and assign the appropriate alarms.
Support Documentation for the Increased Cell Alarms Enhancement
The Increased Cell Alarms enhancement is described in the User-Defined Cell
Site Alarms (UDA) Optional Feature document (401-612-057), which is part of the
AUTOPLEX Cellular Telecommunications Systems System 1000 Optional
Features document (401-900-004).
Procedures for installing the Increased Cell Alarms enhancement hardware in the
Series II Cell Site, Series IIm T1/E1 Minicell, or Series IImm T1/E1 Microcell are
included in the User-Defined Cell Site Alarms (UDA) Optional Feature document.
Directional Setup
The Directional Setup feature allows each sector in a directional Cell Site to have
its own setup radio or radios, with each radio assigned a unique setup channel.
The setup radios use the same Linear Amplifier Circuit (LAC) and antenna as the
voice radios assigned to each sector. The setup radios transmit and receive on the
directional faces, therefore eliminating the need for an omnidirectional antenna
and equipment in the directional Cell Site.
Directional setup, coupled with the wideband LAC, increases the number of voice
circuits that a cell can serve since a lower gain omnidirectional setup antenna no
longer limits the coverage area. The Directional Setup only provides directional
voice while the Omnidirectional Setup provides both directional and
omnidirectional voice.
Two sparing policies are available to the customer for setup radios. Neither uses
receive switches, thus each setup radio is uniquely associated with a given
antenna sector and may be located in either single or double height radio shelves.
The sparing policies are as follows:
Providing full duplication of each setup radio without receive switches (on-line
spares)
Using the recent change/verify process for the manual radio reconfiguration
without receive switches to change a voice radio to a setup radio (off-line spares).
Directional Setup is required for Microcells. Directional Setup also supports
Mobile-Assisted Handoff for Dual-Mode Mobile Station (DMMS) operating in the
digital mode by providing a continuous fixed power setup signal that the DMMS
measures to determine the best serving face. Elimination or reduction of serving
