RCU
RET- Remote Electric Tilt

RET: mandatory for new antennas and all bands in case of dual band antennas. In case of antennas 900 with GSM 900 configuration, RET activation should be quoted to Phase 1. Antennas 900 configured just for UMTS 900, RET activation should be quoted in Phase 3. One step quotation does not distinguish between phases, so RET is quoted in the year that the antenna is installed. For new antennas RET must also be activated in the network. Introduction and activation of RET in reused antennas should be preciated as an optional issue, to be quoted in an alternative TCO.

RCU
RCU-Remote Control Unit
Remote Control Units (RCU) allow operators to control the electrical tilt of compatible antennas without direct access to the antenna.

RCU
Is necesary to record the serial of the RCU and send it with the sector and technology specification to operation team to configure the equipment in the tool.

SBT
SBT-Smart BiasTee
The Smart Bias Tee combines the performance of a standard Bias Tee with the
function of an additional modem (AISG standard) in order to provide DC voltage as well as remote control signals via an RF feeder cable to a TMA or RCU.

Step 2 Run the BSC6900 MML command STR RETANTSCAN: STR RETANTSCAN: IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=251, CN=0, SRN=60, SN=0; the Scan will feedback the result like:
Retant Scan Result -----------------Subroute No. = 2 Is Config = Not Config Manufactory Information = KA Product Information = CSD4636527

If you have 3 RCU case-cade, It will feedback 3 result.

Notes: the results are not following any order, the case-cade order need feedback by site engineers.

Step 3 Run the BSC6900 MML command ADD BTSRETANT: example:

ADD BTSRETANT: IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=251, BT=MRRU, CTRLPORTCN=0, CTRLPORTSRN=60, CTRLPORTSN=0, DEVICENO=1, CTRLPORTNO=0,

DEVICENAME="KA_ANT1", VENDORCODE="KA", SERIALNO="CSD4636566",

CELLIDTYPE=BYID, CELLID=487;

If you have 3 RCU case-cade, execute the command 3 times. Notes: if use SBT, CTRLPORTNO=0. if use AISG cable connect to MRRU directly, CTRLPORTNO=2. SERIALNO="CSD4636566 must match to the Cell ID. Otherwise the order will change.

Step6 Run the BSC6900 MML command DSP RETANTTILT: example:

DSP RETANTTILT: OPEROBJ=SITE, IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=251;

Please check the status of RET after load the configuration file. If return following result, it will be ok.
Board No. Antenna No. Cell No. Subroute No. Maximum Tile Angle Minimum Tile Angle Actual Tile Angle

10degree

0degree

NULL

If the maximun and minimun title angle are NULL, it means the
configuration file load error, try to check the file and load result. The Actual Tile Angle =NULL means the antenna is not Calibrated, go to

next step.
