Activating BTS Software

This describes how to activate the version software loaded to the BTS boards.

Prerequisites

Context

CAUTION:

• The software of multiple BTSs can be activated in one operation. When activating the BTS software, activate the software of the main control board before activating that of other boards.

If the board whose software is to be activated is a main control board, the software of all main control boards in the same site will be activated. If the board whose software is to be activated is not a main control board, the software of a specific board can be activated based on the actual requirements.
