g Note that the commissioning procedure of Flexi Multiradio GSM/EDGE System Module
is required after commissioning the WCDMA System Module.
Steps
2 Start the WCDMA BTS Site Manager application and establish the connection to
the BTS.
4 In the Commissioning - Introduction page, select ‘BTS’ as target and choose the
Reconfiguration option under Commissioning type.
Click Next to continue to BTS Settings page.
In the BTS Settings page note that the ESMx System Module is detected and it can be
seen under Module locations as well as the Equipment view. See figure below.

optional fields.
The Shared with 2G check box is enabled if the RF Module supports FSM/EDGE. Note
that if RF sharing enabled check box is selected at least one of the RF Modules support-
ing 2G must be selected as shared RF Module. Shared RF Module must be physically
connected to the same interface (RP3 interface) in both technology System Modules.
