5.1 Configuring Automatic Network Planning Parameters
This chapter describes how to configure the automatic network planning parameters for the
ePico3801 on the AP Manager (APM). For the deployment of most ePico3801s, the automatic
network planning mode ensures a good radio environment.
Prerequisite
l The ePico zone has been activated on the APM.
l You have logged in to the APM. The login account belongs to the Administrator or
Operators group.
l You have obtained the frequency information planned for the ePico zone.
Context
The frequency list information configured by running the following commands is valid only if
the ePico3801 is in automatic network planning mode.
l Automatic network planning: The frequencies, scrambling codes, and information about
neighboring cells are configured on the APM. After the ePico3801 is powered on and the
cell is set up, the APM automatically issues the configuration information to the
corresponding ePico3801. No manual configuration is required. By default, the factory
parameter setting mode of the ePico3801 is automatic network planning.
l Manual network planning: Change the mode of configuring the frequency, scrambling
code, and information about neighboring cells to manual configuration. For details, see 5.2
Setting ePico Cell Parameters. You can change the configuration information of a cell as
required.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the APM. Choose Configuration > Zone Configuration and select an ePico zone to
be maintained. Then, click Configure.
Step 2 In the displayed window, select the correct version from the Version drop-down list, and then
click Next.
Step 3 Set the parameters of the ePico zone. Choose Zone Parameter > WIRELESS >
Configuration in the navigation tree to set the parameters of the ePico zone.
1. Choose APCELLFREQ to set the frequency list of the ePico cell.
NOTE
If the ePico cell is set up in automatic network planning mode, you need to configure the frequency
list of the ePico cell. After the configuration is complete, the ePico searches all the frequencies in
the frequency list to identify a frequency with the minimal interference for itself.
2. Choose APPSCODE to set the scramble code list of the ePico cell.
3. Choose MCELLFREQ to set the macro neighboring cell list of the ePico cell.
4. Choose GSMPLMNID to set the mobile network code (MNC) of 2G neighboring cells.
NOTE
For details about how to set the parameters, see Help in the corresponding command window.
