1 Overview
1.1 Purpose
This document discusses the commissioning of FDD LTE eNodeBs in different scenarios,
in particular, the general procedure and the tasks in each step. It is designed to improve
capability and efficiency of the commissioning engineers.
Knowledge:
The eNodeB commissioning process involves several operations, including downloading and
installation of eNodeB software and configuration data files through the EMS or the LMT,
device debugging, service verification, and acceptance test. The objective of this process is
to ensure the eNodeB to be put into commercial use as designed.
1.2 Application
This document involves the eNodeB commissioning process only, which starts from
“preparing the table of eNodeB sites and their IP addresses”, and ends when the
acceptance test is passed.
In this method, the production line has installed the eNodeB version and set the IP
addresses. And before the commissioning, the IP transmission between the
eNodeB and the EMS is through, and the eNodeB device works well. As a result,
the commissioning personnel do not need to go to the site. They can commission
the eNodeBs just uploading the configuration data onto the eNodeBs through the
EMS in the central equipment room.
If the production line cannot finish IP address planning before the eNodeB device is
delivered, they can pack the CC boards and deliver them to the site warehouse.
After the CC boards arrive, the commissioning personnel can debug the CC boards
in the warehouse, including downloading the eNodeB version to the CC boards and
setting the IP addresses.
If neither the eNodeB version is installed, nor IP addresses are set before the
eNodeB devices arrive at the sites, the commissioning personnel have to go to the
site and use the LMT to commission the eNodeB by upgrading the eNodeB versions
and uploading the configuration data. And after the commissioning is ready, they
operate in the central equipment room and set up links between the EMS and the
eNodeBs.
The three methods and their procedures are shown in Figure 2-1.

2.2 Application
Depending on the actual conditions, the commissioning personnel can select a proper
method for commissioning the eNodeB. Table 2-1 shows the recommended eNodeB
commissioning methods for new or swapping site.

To save the time and cost, the remote commissioning through the EMS method is
recommended if the conditions are allowed. The onsite commissioning method is only
applicable to the new sites and swapped sites in the following cases when remote
commissioning is not available:
1. The production line has not installed the eNodeB version or set the IP, or the
delivered version is not the target version.
2. The debugging of the CC board cannot be done when the board is in the warehouse.
As a result, the eNodeB version cannot be downloaded to the CC boards and the IP
addresses cannot be set.

3.1 Pre-Production
Before an eNodeB is produced for a project, the related technical director and product
director should complete the tasks listed in Table 3-1.
Note:
If the IP planning cannot be done before the production, you should follow other
commissioning procedures.
3 Use the BCT to modify the basic configuration FDD LTE eNodeB

4.1 Pre-Production
Before an eNodeB is produced for a project, the related technical director and product
director should complete the tasks listed in Table 3-6.
During the debugging, the technical delivery engineer sets and debugs the IP addresses
for each site according to the IP planning table.
The tasks during the debugging in the warehouse are listed below.
After debugging, the logistics manager organizes persons to distribute the CC boards to
respective sites.
Note:
If the IP planning has not been done, the technical delivery engineer cannot debug the CC
boards. In this case, the local commissioning method has to be used.
