1. Connecting the Web LCT to the IDU
Connecting the Web LCT to the IDU properly is a prerequisite for future data
configuration and for other commissioning items.
Prerequisite
The equipment must be powered on.
Tools, Equipment, and Materials
Web LCT
Procedure
1.1 Start the laptop and log in to the operating system.
1.2 Set the IP address of the laptop.
The IP address of the laptop should meet the following requirements:
The IP address of the laptop and the IP address of the NE should be in the
same network segment (the default network segment is 129.9.0.0), and the IP
address of the laptop is different from the IP address of the NE.
The subnet mask of the IP address of the laptop should be the same as the
subnet mask of the IP address of the NE (the default subnet mask is
255.255.0.0).
The default gateway is null.
1.3 Use a network cable to connect the Ethernet port of the laptop to the NMS/COM
port on the system control, switching, and timing board.
CAUTION:
Site Commissioning Procedure Security Level
2012-08-07 HUAWEI Page2, Total25
Ensure that the network cable is properly connected to the Ethernet port of the
laptop and the NMS/COM port on the system control, switching, and timing board.
Otherwise, the equipment or test tool may be damaged.
NOTE:
The NMS/COM port on the system control, switching, and timing board is a self-
adaptive port for crossover cables and straight through cables. Thus, a straight
through cable can also be used to make the connection. For the wire sequences of
crossover cables and straight through cables, see Network Cable in the OptiX RTN
980 Radio Transmission System IDU Hardware Description.
In this case, the indicators at the Ethernet port and the NMS/COM port are on
(green). If the operating system on the laptop allows the prompt for local
connections, the prompt that the network has been connected is displayed. If the
operating system displays the prompt indicating the collision of IP addresses,
change the IP address.
1.4 Optional: Set the IE to the default browser.

2 Creating NEs
2.1 Using the Search Method
The Web LCT can find all NEs that communicate with a specific gateway NE by using the IP
address of the gateway NE, the IP address range of the gateway NE, or the NSAP
addresses. In addition, the Web LCT can create the NEs that are found in batches. Compared
with the method of manually creating NEs, this method is faster and more reliable.
Prerequisites
The communication between the NMS and the NE must be normal.
The NE user must have the authority of Operation Level or higher.
Tools, Equipment, and Materials
Web LCT
Procedure
2.1.1 In NE List, click NE Search.

the network segment.
d. Optional: Select an existing network segment, and click Delete to delete the
network segment.
NOTE:
During initial configuration, Domain is 129.9.255.255 by default. After the gateway NE IP
address of the searched NE is changed, you need to change the value of Domain. The
default network segment cannot be modified and deleted.
