Power Up BTS
Now you are ready to power up the BTS.
Step 1. Ensure that input power has been connected to the BTS.
Step 2. Switch the Power to ON. If the BTS is a Combo Chassis, the switch is located on the
top right front of the BTS. The green Power On light next to the switch will illuminate
(Figure 50).
If the BTS is a Split Chassis, the Power ON switch is located on the back lower middle
of the Digital shelf. The green LEDs on the RF/PA modules and the circuit cards in the
BTS chassis should illuminate.
The Power switch for the TTA is located on the lower middle back of the chassis.
Step 3. Watch for the auto-boot countdown command. Type in config on the computer
keyboard to interrupt the standard boot sequence. The window of time to type in
“config” after auto-boot starts is 20 seconds.
BTS Bootup
The BTS is shipped with a default value of a 20-second countdown to interrupt the standard
bootup sequence. You can escape the standard bootup when the display shows the following:
autoboot countdown : quick [quick|delayed]
To escape the initialization sequence, type in config before the 20-second counter reaches zero.
Note: Under the next section, “Boot Prompt”, you will see how to disable the 20-second
countdown in lieu of a shorter, 1-second countdown. This will minimize downtime
during unattended restart conditions, for example, if there is a power outage and the BTS
is recovering.
Boot Prompt
After you have escaped from the automated boot sequence, the console will display a
rudimentary Boot prompt:
[Navini Boot]:
This prompt offers the ability to perform a small set of operations. Enter ‘?’ or ‘h’ followed by
the Enter key to display a list of commands (Exhibit 1). To invoke any of the commands, simply
enter the single letter command with optional parameters, followed by the Enter key.
