The Apus imports the engineering parameter in Excel. Before importing, ensure that: The engineering parameter table contains the essential parameters listed above. The engineering parameter table contains no diagrams, formulas or links to the other worksheets. The BTSID is written correctly, since it is used to generate the neighbor scripts. If you do not need to create the neighbor scripts, fill in with the distinguished values. To import the engineering parameters, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Choose Data manager > Import Engineering Parameter. In the open Import Engineering Parameter dialog box, proceed as Table 5-1 lists.

If no new information is available, the default values are taken into consideration during calculation. This parameter has great influence on the calculation. Huawei recommends that
calculation accuracy should be less than 50 meters for the dense area. the default grid size to 50m200m. For the medium Default grid size To set the grid size or large size network, the 100ms is suggested. For the medium or the large network that have more than 100 BTSs or whose total coverage areas are more than 50km x 50km, Huawei recommends that the default grid size should remain within 50m100m.
