Introduction
This guide gives the screenshots and flow for the steps required to commission an
RBS6000 cabinet.
This is an overview and does not detail the FTP process etc as in the previous 3000
procedures therefore you may need to cross reference back to the 3000 document at
times.
Previous 3000 Node B experience is required before attempting this procedure and
engineers should already have a sound knowledge of FTP and basic pc software used
for the commissioning of 3G cabinets.
The only cabinet attempted so far using this process is on the

6201 so slight amendments may have to be made as more
types of cabinets are deployed. (02-07-2010).
NOTE: 1
This document is to be used along with the existing RBS3000 commissioning
documentation.
NOTE: 2
Ensure you record any existing external Alarms that are defined on the RBS, this
is essential, because once the RBS3000 is switched off you have no way of
recovering this data.

Format Node
Check the current loaded software:
Some nodes may not require formatting depending on base software sent out.
Before you format the DUW, check the loaded software, if it has a CV called
BasicCV_CXP9016143_R3A01 then there is no need to format the Node. You can
check this from the serial window. This only applies to the current software
deployed, this WILL change, and should be checked when new software is
available and supplied.
To Check:
$ cv ls
This will show you the CVs that have been created.
Reload the Node back to BasicCV_CXP9016143_R3A01 with the following

command:
$ cv set BasicCV_CXP9016143_R3A01
(If this CV is not available continue with the format section)
Check the startable CV has been set.
$ cv cu
will show you the CV
Set IP address:
$ reload - $ ifconfig le0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
$ reload

Format Required:
If the Node does need formatting, then continue as per the RBS3000 nodes, you need
to format the /d and /C2 drives and load the basic software into the DUW board. The
next section describes the commands for this:
reload - -
Wait for the screen to update - the plug in unit will be shown as the DUW.
In the 6000 nodes the C2 drive will not be shown when you enter the command vols
see the next commands to format and mount the drive.
Enter the command
vols
Notice no c2 drive displayed
Enter the command
mount C2
This mounts the c2 drive

Set IP address
Set the node IP address there are two options here You can use the factory address
and change your laptop address after / during the O&M Wizard or you can obtain the
correct IP address for the node at this stage from the scripts and set this. The benefit of
the second option is that you only change the IP address once and your laptop will not
freeze during the O&M wizards.
Enter ifconfig commands as before:
ifconfig le0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
(Or use your site specific address)
And check
ifconfig
As below:
You are now ready to FTP the basic package to the node you are working on.
NOTE no password to set yet this is done very last step before CV
(default username and password is rbs) if you try to set the password the
command passwd is unknown.

FTP Software to Node

You will need new base software for the 6000 nodes the 3000 base software will not
work.
Use filezilla or a suitable FTP program as per RBS3000 products to copy the c2 and d
files to the node.
Refer to the RBS 3000 commissioning procedure if assistance is required on how to
FTP software to a node b.
Once the FTP process is complete enter the command:
reload
Wait for the basic CV to be generated as can be seen on the above screenshot.
cv cu will show you the CV. This can be seen below.

Launch EMAS
Launch EMAS and start the wizards this section is much the same as the 3000
commissioning procedure and the wizards are much the same. The next sections
describe this. (Again refer to 3000 documentation for assistance).
The existing P7 EMAS software will let you connect to the node so no new software
is required at this moment in time.

Complete the fields as required

RBS product name should be automatic
Note - Climate system 3 fans in the cab top will mean Standard, 4 Fans Extended
for the indoor cabs.
Also complete the cabinet product data fields found on the bottom left of the cab on
a small sticker taking BFX 101 113/1 as the header - example shown below: (note this
was for a 6201 cabinet so the BFX header may read slightly different for the different
cabinets).
Note: - If the site is a 2nd carrier site, i.e. 2 MCPAs per sector, then you will need
to configure the Radio Building Blocks as RBB22_1A (x3) and not RBB12_1A
(x3), also all the Feeder jumpers will have to be connected to only the A ports of
the RUWs so that 2 RUWs are used per sector.
Example for the first sector:- the 1st TX jumper connects to the first RUW on port RF
A the 2nd RX jumper connects to the second RUW also on port RF A, repeat this
for all configured sectors.

Radio Building Blocks

An example RBB12_1A This is for a 1 carrier sector (two sectors only on above
site) and reads:
1 = number of TX branches
2 = number of RX branches
_1 = CPRI cable (replaces data cable on RU)
A = revision
More information can be found in the relevant configuration documents for each
cabinet type and what each RRB stands for.

CLOCK and Integration unlock License

The 6000 node requires the clock to be stable so the integration unlock function can
be activated, you will have to wait until the RBS gets its clock reference from the
NTP server, this will be done automatically and the clock updated. The integration
unlock license has a full 7 days to run.
No fingerprint will be available at install as it is generated by the DUW during the
commissioning steps.
Type:
$readclock
This will printout the current time and date from the RBS, you will have to wait until
the time is correct before you do the next step.
Set integration license:

Once the time and date is correct do the following.
From the serial window type.
$license iu status
This checks if active or not.
$license iu activate

Which Scripts to complete?

Tick halt on errors, verbose logging on and browse to the
02_rbs_specific_IMA4_Iub.mo script or the script that
refers to the number of links you have on site. (Example
for 6 links select IMA6, 7 links IMA7 etc).
Open this and select START.
Ensure this completes with no errors:
Repeat this for the following scripts:

04_RBS_EUL.mo (if required service area will confirm if
unsure)
06_RBS_2x1_QoS.mo (if required service area will
confirm if unsure)
And again make sure they are complete and successful.
Also if the site is supporting the 21.6Mb speeds then you

will have to run the 05 Script:
05_21mbps_3x2.mo (if required service area will
confirm if unsure)

(The name of this script may change slightly depending

upon cells and carriers etc). This will fail if the service
area licence key is not the same i.e. 21.6 mbps.
For Dual HS sites and additional features the following
scripts will also need to be run Again RMC / Service
area will be able to confirm if site is Dual HS/EUL and a
special licence will be required:
07_RBS_EUL_1st.mo for HS / EUL parameters on 1st
carrier
08_21mbps_2x1_1st.mo (if required service area will
confirm if unsure) only if using 21mbps. =For HS / EUL
parameters on 1st carrier
10_HSDPA_1Carrier_2Cell_1st.mo (name may vary
slightly depending on carriers/cells etc) - for HS / EUL
parameters on 1st carrier
11 Scripts 21mbps Dual HS features- scripts to be run in

only if using 21mbps RMC will inform you defining
parameters for 1st carrier. To be run in if using Dual HS/
EUL.
12 Scripts - 12_5_7_HSUPA.mo scripts to be run in if
using the 5.7 feature This is uplink/upload speed This
is being run on all MLS sites (14.4 HSDPA and 5.7
HSUPA) for new sites check with relevant service areas.
Again make sure they are complete and successful.
If Dual HS/ EUL:

Also run the 09_RBS_2x2_QoS_1st.mo script. (Note
