Performing Tests
• Once the transmitter is turned off, remove the test cables and re-connect the Base
Station power output to the antenna system.
• The Test Software will send commands to the Base Station to restore the BBA.
• The Test Software will then allow you to select whether to re-allow the routine
diagnostics, functional test, and call processing that you inhibited at the beginning of
the test. Based on your choices, the Test Software will send appropriate commands
the Base Station.
NOTE If multiple faces are to be tested, repeat the above process for each face to be tested, then
verify cell site operation and perform pilot level functional test calibration for any
BBAs that were re-calibrated.

Test Set-Up Procedure
Set up the Test Software and Base Station for running the Transmit Power Calibration
Test as follows:
Step 1. From the Lucent CDMA Tests Main Menu screen, select the Test Selections field. The
Test Software will display the Test Selections Menu screen.
NOTE The Transmit Power Calibration Test includes steps that prompt you to disconnect
cables from the site antenna ports and make connections to the Test Set. Before
removing or re-installing the antenna cables, make certain that the transmitter has
been turned off by the MSC (or by switch personnel if not using a PC). The green ACT
LEDs on the ACU and BCR modules indicate the transmitter is active, and therefore
should be off before disconnecting cables.
Step 2. Select the Transmit Power Calibration field. The Test Software will display a prompt
directing that you remove RF connections and such.
Step 3. Follow the displayed instructions, then press the
k1 (Proceed) key. The Test Software
will display an information screen stating that it is performing calibration, then it will
display the Transmit Power Calibration screen.
