Maintaining the BTS Port Timeslots

This describes how to maintain the BTS port timeslots. Maintaining the BTS port timeslots involves disabling/enabling the BTS port timeslots or exchanging the BTS port timeslots. When a port timeslot is disabled, it cannot be caused by the OML, RSL, or TCH. The test personnel can disable certain port timeslots and then check whether the enabled port timeslot is normal.
