Dear All & Neels,
Of course anyone is more than welcome to join, this is a mail list after all.
I tested up to four TRX with the Metro and that works as well. Once
everything is tested and working I will provide example files, and try
to updated the Nokia specific wiki as it is quite outdated (info is
from the NITB era).
Will try to look at Ericsson and BS-11, maybe there are some clues
about sectors there.
Regards,
Csaba

Hi Neels,
Hi Csaba,
I would welcome if you could address everyone instead of me,
so that the conversation is open for others to chip in.
More likely for you to get interesting answers that way =)
I don't know much about hopping nor LAPD, nor sector config.

I checked RF and BB hopping with my MetroSite with my patch added, and
they both seem to work, multi-TRX was tested a couple days ago, that
also works with 2 TRXes. Obviously I did not tested every possible
hopping scenarios, but in both cases the node manager reported the
correct hopping states and I also checked with a spectrum analyzer.
This means that either my UltraSite still has some issues, or that the
config logic for it needs a bit of tuning. The one difference I have
noticed is that the MetroSite does starts the RSL LAPD when the TRXes
reach a configured state, while the UltraSite needs the BSC to start
the RSL LAPD links even after the TRXes reach the same configured
state. FYI, I am running exactly the same BTS SW release on both units
(latest LTS ever released by the vendor), so they should not behave
differently from a pure SW point of view.
Anyway, at this point in time I don't see any particular issues that
indicates a BSC problem. One feature missing is the ability to
configure sectors (Nokia calls a sector a "BTS" while the base station
is called "BCF"). My question is, do we have any BTS type that has
sector configuration support so I can take a look how this was done
(if any) ?

Csaba
