Introduction
Purpose
Trouble free Network operation is partly dependant on the quality work done while
integrating network elements. While accepting the network elements from NI to MS,
standard site acceptance checklists are to be followed to maintain the desired network
quality.
This document deals with the acceptance of sites (Node B & RNC) from NI to MS with
standard acceptance checklists, provides guidelines for the acceptance of Sites (Node B
& RNC) from NI to MS with focus on quality work. This will ensure to maintain the quality
of network elements, reliable network operation & enhanced customer satisfaction.

1.2

Scope
This process covers all steps from site readiness declaration by NI to site acceptance
by MS.
This process will ensure that the sites will be integrated in network with all standard
acceptance checks to ensure network quality..
This process will help to improve the quality of site (Node B / RNC), ensuring enhanced
customer satisfaction.

1.3

Assumptions
Site should be ready with planned Infra Setup.
Site should be ready with Planned Telecom Setup.
Its should be able to capture and showcase all the internal & external alarms.
All the Planning recommendations are being taken care of.
The Quality of work is at par with the NSN Standards.
The KPIs of the Site is at par with the agreed SLA with customer.
All the detailed drawings pertaining to site is place at Site Folder.
All the detailed documents (Original/Duplicate copy) i.e. Legal and Technical pertaining
to the respective site are in place at Site Folder.

Interfaces

Interfaces in this process are;

FLM team will accept Node B from NI for operation & maintenance following the standard
acceptance checklist attached. It will also accept Tellab transmission equipment from the Tellab/Third
party vendor.

BSS team will accept RNC from NI / Care for operation & maintenanceOperations following the
standard acceptance checklist attached.

NPO/ RF team will carryout RF ATP/ SCFT after ATP from FLM is over.
GNSC will lock/unlock the site as per requirement during site ATP.
NI will offer Node B, Tellab Transmission ATP to FLM.
Care will offer ATP of RNC to BSS operation team.
1.5

Process Change Control

The Process will be changed only by the document owner. All suggestions and feedback should be sent to the
Document Owner.

1.6

Process Implementation

Circle Head is responsible for the implementation of this process in the circles. Customer Operation Manager is
responsible for the implementation of this process in GNSC.

2.2.1

ATP of Node B

After Successful completion of Installation, Commissioning & Integration, NI Team should propose that site for
AT to MS Team. Following Points need to be made sure while proposing a site to MS Team for AT are:
(a) Site should be in operational Mode i.e should be carrying traffic.
(b) All Infra items at site should be running properly (by the virtue of RFI handover).

(c) All external Alarm extension is proper and tested.
(d) No Internal Alarm present on site.
After site is offered by NI, FLM Manager should allot resource (FLM Engineer) for conducting ATP. FLM
engineer should conduct ATP for Node B following the standard ATP checklist attached herewith. If any punch
point is observed by FLM engineer, it should be cleared by NI team. If there is no punch point observed, FLM
engineer should sign-off FLM ATP after which site should be offered to NPO/RF team for conducting RF ATP/
SCFT.
NPO/RF team should conduct RF ATP/ SCFT as per the standard checklist attached in the annexure. If any
punch point is observed, it should be cleared by NI team. If no punch point is observed, NPO team should signoff RF ATP after successful completion of ATP. NPO team should raise CRF for removal of ZQ pre-fix.
RF ATP will be closed on SCFT & 2G-3G interworking for clusters having the number of Node B less than 5. If
cluster is having 5 or more number of sites, then RF ATP will be carried out at cluster & network levels in
addition to SCFT as per annexures.
2.2.2

ATP of Tellab Transmission Equipment

After Successful completion of Installation, Commissioning & Integration, NI will offer ATP of Tellab transmission
equipment to FLM. FLM should conduct ATP as per the standard checklist attached herewith. If any punch point
is observed, it should be cleared by third party vendor. If no punch point bserved, Transmission equipment ATP
should be signed by FLM engineer.
2.2.3

ATP of RNC

After Successful completion of Installation, Commissioning & Integration, Care team will offer ATP of RNC to
BSS team. BSS team should conduct ATP as per standard checklist attched herewith. If any punch point is
observed, Care should get it cleared. If no punch point is observed, BSS will sign-off ATP of RNC.
