Recommendations and Limitations

The following recommendations and limitations should be taken into
consideration before performing any of the WALKair system acceptance test
procedures:
The basic acceptance test should be performed only after a link has been
established between the Base station and the Terminal.
The Service acceptance test should be performed only after service is

configured as well as peripheral equipment.
The acceptance test should be performed during good weather conditions to

prevent and/or neutralize rain influence on radio link performance
observations (this is relevant for the downlink measurements).
It is highly recommended for the first link that is established with a new
BU-BS to have a Full LOS (this is relevant for 3.5 GHz RF heads)in order to
have a good reference.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Record the serial number of each item of installed equipment, to allow for better system
maintenance and handling. See TS-BU Acceptance Tests, page 20, for more information.

General description:
The objective of this test is to check the quality

of the radio link. Passing this test is crucial for
the assurance of service availability and error
free traffic.
Perform this procedure after establishing a link
with a terminal according to the radio planning.
This test can be performed remotely from the
Network Operation Centre.
Required equipment:
PC with WALKnet version greater than 4.2.
Required documentation:
WALKnet User Manual, WALKnet Operation

Manual.
Prerequisites:
It is required that the installation personnel will

hold information of the expected Rx and Tx
power levels and C/I values of the Terminal at
the customer site. This is acquired by using:
The Free Space fade margin formula and

adding the antenna gains See Appendix A
Free Space Link Budget Calculation
Acquiring the information from the systems

radio planner.
Short Term Test

The short term test is to check the air performance immediately after
commissioning and can be performed locally by the commissioner or remotely
from the network operation centre using WALKnet, while the
commissioner/installer is still in the site for any case of trouble shooting.
Completing this test approves the commissioning of a newly installed terminal;
to assure the overall performance, the overnight test should be performed.
Performing the Short Term test by WALKnet:

1
Verify that the IP address of your PC is authorized to access to the BU-BS

(the authorized manager from the LCI administrative parameters).
Connect your PC to the ETH port of the BU-BS with a cross cable (or a direct
cable via the hub).
Run the WALKnet software.
Enter the Utilities Menu, and select SNMP parameters.
Enter the Performance Menu, and select Air> Detailed Air Performance.
Select the CELL, Sector, BU-BS and the installed TS ID.
In the time period area, select Current 15 minutes display.

To stop the report, type the following: 3 <Enter>, 1 <Enter>, d <Enter>.
Verify that the Rx power accuracy is in accordance with the site radio plan as
following (if it is not, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for the Terminal):
Phases of verification:
1
Make sure that the Received Power in the Terminal and the
Transmitted power of the Terminal are according to the expected

one according to the radio planning. (See prerequisites). Any
variation of more than 5 dB from the expected power levels is not
accepted and should not be approved. Such a link may affect the
adjacent Cells and Links and will cause link degradations.
2
Within the 15 minutes of test no bit errors should be observed,
therefore the FER (Frame Error Rate should be zero as well.
Only after making sure that the power levels are within the
approved limits, the SNR measurement should be applied. The
expected measured SNR levels in the Ts BU should be derived
from the next table assisting with the calculated C/I figure given
by radio planning results.
UL/DL SNR Threshold

C/I

> 30 dB
> C/I > 23 dB
Better than 25 dB
Better than 22 dB
Table 4: SNR Levels

NOTE:
If the performance is viewed by WALKnet, the SNR criteria should be compared with the
minimum SNR presented by WALKnet air performance monitoring.
Example of link performance verification:

Cell Name 1 Sector
Expected RSS [dBm] 5dB
-70dBm
Expected Transmit Power [dBm]
+4dBm
5dB
Expected C/I
Better than 25dB
NOTE:
The figures in the table may vary according to practical ranges and field conditions.
The deviation of real figures should not exceed 5dB. In such case please consult with
Engineering department.
Over Night Radio Link Test

Running the overnight test should in conjunction with the short term test had
passed. It is recommended to perform this test as the customer already
connected to live traffic so that the statistics will be correct. The concept of the
test is to view 24 hours retrospectively the radio performance and assure its
stability.
Performing the Short Term test by WALKnet:

Using WALKnet SW repeat the previous test only that now the selected period is
15 Minutes Intervals of the last 24 hours.
Verify the following:
UL/DL Frame Error Rate is lower than 10e-6
Make sure that the Received Power in the Terminal and the
Transmitted power of the Terminal are according to the expected

one according to the radio planning. (See prerequisites). Any
variation of more than 5 dB from the expected power levels is not
accepted and should not be approved. Such a link may affect the
adjacent Cells and Links and will cause link degradations.
The expected measured SNR levels in the Ts BU should be derived

from table 5 assisting with the calculated C/I figure given by radio
planning results.

Chapter 3: Execution of WALKair

Tests by Type of Service
The WALKair Service acceptance test procedures should be performed after
commissioning of a new service or after equipment replacement following an
equipment malfunctions.
The Service acceptance test is divided into modular procedures that are relevant
for different system services. Table 2 describes which test procedures should be
performed, according the applied service. Unlike the basics tests these tests will
provide quality measures indicating the operability/inoperability of the service
features and not quantity measures such as performance.
To assure error free service and not to mistaken the results, this test should be
performed after the basic had tests passed successfully.

General Verifications

In case Fractional E1 is in use, verify that the zero time slot is

not assigned to any of the terminal stations.
Make sure the whole TS BUs associated to the same BS BU have
only one clock source.
V5.x Services Acceptance Test

This test should be performed after a newly V5

service has been defined or after adding another
terminal/Subscribers. The tests are divided to
V5.2 interface tests and Subscriber tests.
Setup and tools:

ISDN telephone, PSTN telephone for testing.
Prerequisites:
None.
V5.2 interface tests

Perform the following tests after configuring V5.2 interface and establishing a
link between the Local Exchange and the BS BU. In addition at least one
subscriber should be connected and working.
Physical Layer status check

Verify that the green L.E.D located on the right side of the E1
interface is continuously green. Do the same for BS and TS BUs.
In case of QBRI interface, verify the same for the each of the
ISDN connections of the QBRI telecom port and the same for the
NT and the end equipment.
2
Check that the V5.2 interface is active logically. Check a dial tone
at the subscriber.
3
Disrupt the power of the BS BU and verify the recovery of the BS

BU by verifying that the interface is up again and the subscriber
has a dial tone.

4
In case of protection mechanism is in use, disconnect the primary

E1 connection and check the following:
Subscriber still has a dial tone and able to establish a call.
Connect again the primary E1 connection and check the
subscribers dial tone and ability to establish a call.

Frame Relay Service Test

This test should be performed upon activation of

Frame Relay in BS BU to Frame Relay in TS BU
service. The purpose of the test is to check the
connectivity of a newly configured DLCI. The
service given to TS #3 is describing this scenario.

System Description
Setup and tools:

PC on TS BU side.
Prerequisites:
Router on BS side and on TS side are connected

and configured to the desired application.
The tested DLCI is up.
Performing the Frame Relay Service Test:
Connectivity Test
Check the connectivity between the TS-BU PC user to the
backbone side of the base station router, by pinging from a PC in

subnet W.W.W.0 to an entity on the backbone for a continuous 5
minutes.
IF there is a connection to an ISP, check surfing the Internet as

well.
Recovery test Disconnect the V35/E1 cable from the TS BU

telecom port and reconnect it again. Wait few seconds and repeat
test 1.

Frame Relay Ethernet Service Test according to

DLCI mapping by subnet.
This test should be performed upon activation of

Frame Relay or Ethernet in BS BU to Ethernet in
TS BU service. The purpose of the test is to
check the connectivity of a newly configured
DLCI and the routing of the IP information to the
DLCI. The service given to TS #1 is describing
this scenario.
The tests are also depended on the configured
routing method, therefore the user should
perform the test stages that are relevant for the
routing method.

System Description
Setup and tools:

PC on TS BU side and two IP entities in the
backbone side of the BS BU router.
Prerequisites:
Router on BS side and on TS side are connected

and configured to the desired application.
The tested DLCI is up.
To perform the Frame Relay Service Test:
Source Routing Assuming the source subnet is X.X.X.0 perform

the following:
From the PC located on the TS side on subnet X.X.X.0, ping an

entity in the backbone, for a duration of 5 minutes.
Perform one of the following:
Repeat the previous stage and verify successful ping to a

different entity in the backbone with a different subnet
than the previous one.
If an additional subnet other than X.X.X.0 with a

different DLCI is available on the TS side, verify
unsuccessful ping to the backbone entity.
Destination Routing Assuming the destination subnet is Z.Z.Z.0

perform the following:
From the PC located on the TS side on subnet X.X.X.0, ping a
backbone entity with the destination subnet Z.Z.Z.0. Verify

successful ping for a duration of 5 minutes.
Perform one of the following:
If an additional subnet other than X.X.X.0 with a

different DLCI is available on the TS side, ping a
backbone entity with the destination subnet.
If an additional backbone entity is available with a subnet

address other than Z.Z.Z.0, verify unsuccessful ping from
the PC on TS side to it.
Ethernet port IP address test (applicable from version 6 and up)

If an IP address is assigned to the TS BU Ethernet port, verify a

successful pinging to it, either from the backbone side or from
the PC located on TS side.

Chapter 3: System Documentation and Certification
Appendix A Free Space Link Budget Calculation

Calculating Down Link Received power (the power received by the terminal and
the Up link Transmit power (The power transmitted by the terminal ) is done by
the following formulas:
DL Rx sig = PBase Tx + GBase Antenna - 92.5 - 20*log(D[Km]*f[[GHz]) + GTerminal Antenna

UL TX sig = PBase Rx - GBase Antenna + 92.5 + 20*log(D[Km]*f[[GHz]) - GTerminal Antenna
Where:
PBase Rx = Nominal Rx power of the Base station (default values).
PBase Tx = Nominal Tx power of the Base station (default values).
f[[GHz] = RF band frequency in GHz, for example, 3.5,10.5 or 26.
D[Km] = Distance between the Base station and the Terminal, in km.
GBase Antenna = Typical gain of the Base station antenna.
GTerminal Antenna = Typical gain of the Terminal antenna.
