5.3.3.2 Enable SNMP alarms
Support for SNMP in the mBSC-C system is provided through the remote EMS Server. For more information
about support for SNMP please refer to UM-MBSC-C-EMS.
5.4 System Tuning
5.4.1 BTS Signal Conditioning
The interface from the operator BTS equipment to the MBSC0800-040-RU is via simplex RF connections to
the BIU. The nominal downlink input to the BIU (TXin) is 0 dBm±1dB (range: -10dBm to +10dBm). If the BTS
signal downlink exceeds +10 dBm, or the signal is a composite duplex RF signal, then RF signal
conditioning will be required.
BTI provides a high-power Point of Interface to perform RF signal conditioning (mBSC-C-POI) The use and
operation of this component is outside the scope of this document.
5.4.2 Set Downlink Gain
It may be necessary to adjust the Downlink gain of the mBSC-C system in order to achieve a balanced
forward and reverse link, or to adjust for other conditions (input levels from the BTS, propagation
characteristics at different bands, specific RF design). The MBSC0800-040-RU provides two points of
adjustment for downlink gain:
1. Software controlled attenuator for each band in the BIU
2. Software controlled attenuator in each band-specific Remote Unit
The determination of appropriate values for these parameters is outside the scope of this document.
5.4.2.1 Adjust BIU Downlink Attenuator
Adjust the BIU downlink value for each frequency band as follows:
1. Click on the BIU in the topology diagram and the component window will pops up on the right as
shown in Figure 50 - BIU Attenuator.
2. Downlink Attenuation Value (XXX MHz): Input the appropriate value for each frequency band (0dB –
25dB range)
