6.4.5.1 Using the CME to Perform Batch Configuration for Newly Deployed eNodeBs
Enter the values of the parameters listed in the following table in a summary data file, which also contains other data for the new eNodeBs to be deployed. Then, import the summary data file into the Configuration Management Express (CME) for batch configuration. For detailed instructions, see "Creating eNodeBs in Batches" in the initial configuration guide for the eNodeB, which is available in the eNodeB product documentation.
The summary data file may be a scenario-specific file provided by the CME or a customized file, depending on the following conditions:
l The MOs in the following table are contained in a scenario-specific summary data file.
In this situation, set the parameters in the MOs, and then verify and save the file.
l Some MOs in the following table are not contained in a scenario-specific summary data file. In this situation, customize a summary data file to include the MOs before you can set the parameters.

6.4.5.2 Using the CME to Perform Batch Configuration for Existing eNodeBs
Batch reconfiguration using the CME is the recommended method to activate a feature on existing eNodeBs. This method reconfigures all data, except neighbor relationships, for multiple eNodeBs in a single procedure. The procedure is as follows:
Step 1 Customize a summary data file with the MOs and parameters listed in section "Using the CME to Perform Batch Configuration for Newly Deployed eNodeBs." For online help, press
F1 when a CME window is active, and select Managing the CME > CME Guidelines >
LTE Application Management > eNodeB Related Operations > Customizing a Summary Data File for Batch eNodeB Configuration.
Step 2 Choose CME > LTE Application > Export Data > Export Base Station Bulk
Configuration Data (U2000 client mode), or choose LTE Application > Export Data >
Export Base Station Bulk Configuration Data (CME client mode), to export the eNodeB data stored on the CME into the customized summary data file.
Step 3 In the summary data file, set the parameters in the MOs according to the setting notes provided in section "Data Preparation" and close the file.
Step 4 Choose CME > LTE Application > Import Data > Import Base Station Bulk
Configuration Data (U2000 client mode), or choose LTE Application > Import Data >
Import Base Station Bulk Configuration Data (CME client mode), to import the summary data file into the CME, and then start the data verification.
Step 5 After data verification is complete, choose CME > Planned Area > Export Incremental Scripts (U2000 client mode), or choose Area Management > Planned Area > Export Incremental Scripts (CME client mode), to export and activate the incremental scripts. For detailed operations, see Managing the CME > CME Guidelines > Script File Management
> Exporting Incremental Scripts from a Planned Data Area in the CME online help.

6.4.5.3 Using the CME to Perform Single Configuration
On the CME, set the parameters listed in the "Data Preparation" section for a single eNodeB.
The procedure is as follows:
Step 1 In the planned data area, click Base Station in the upper left corner of the configuration window.
Step 2 In area 1 shown in Figure 6-1, select the eNodeB to which the MOs belong.

NOTE
l To view descriptions of the parameters in the MO, click in area 4 and press F1.
l Area 5 displays the details of a selected area-4 entry in vertical format. Click the "Details" button to show or hide this area.
Step 3 On the Search tab page in area 2, enter an MO name, for example, CELL.
Step 4 In area 3, double-click the MO in the Object Name column. All parameters in this MO are displayed in area 4.
Step 5 Set the parameters in area 4 or 5.
Step 6 Choose CME > Planned Area > Export Incremental Scripts (U2000 client mode), or choose Area Management > Planned Area > Export Incremental Scripts (CME client mode), to export and activate the incremental scripts.

MOD CELLULCOMPALGO: LocalCellId=0, UlCompA3Offset=-20;
NOTE
The default value is recommended.
Step 2 To activate this feature, run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to turn on the UlJointReceptionSwitch for each cell involved.
l Macro-macro or micro-micro 2-cell UL CoMP
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LocalCellId=0, UplinkCompSwitch=UlJointReceptionSwitch-1;
l Macro-micro 2-cell UL CoMP
To activate macro-micro UL CoMP, run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to set the UlHetnetJointReceptionSwitch, UlHetnetCompOnUlRsrpSw, and
UlHetnetCompManualNcellCfgSw for all macro and micro cells involved.
When the difference in CRS transmit power between macro and micro cells is less than 6 dB or the micro cell is an SFN cell, run the following command:
MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: LocalCellId=0,
UplinkCompSwitch=UlJointReceptionSwitch-1&UlHetnetJointReceptionSwitch-1&UlHetnetC ompManualNcellCfgSw-0;
When the difference in CRS transmit power between macro and micro cells is greater than or equal to 6 dB and the micro cell is a common cell, run the following command:

UplinkCompSwitch=UlJointReceptionSwitch-1&UlHetnetJointReceptionSwitch-1&UlHetnetC ompManualNcellCfgSw-0&UlHetnetCompOnUlRsrpSw-1;
To enable manual configuration of to-be measured neighboring cells in macro-micro scenarios when the UlHetnetCompOnUlRsrpSw switch is on, run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to turn on the corresponding switch and run the MOD
EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL command to set the relationships between intra-frequency macro and micro cells.
