FTP Client
The FTP client is a component of the LMT software suite and enables the communication
between the LMT and the FTP server according to the FTP protocol. You can obtain logs
and upload data configuration files through the FTP client.
FTP Server
The FTP server is a component of the LMT software suite and provides upload and
download services according to the FTP protocol. It is used when uploading and
downloading BTS software and license file.
LMT Offline MML
LMT offline MML is a component of the LMT offline tool. It enables users to use MML
functions, view MML, make MML scripts, and view LMT Online Help of the corresponding
version offline by means of a browser.
File Manager
The file manager is a component of the LMT software suite. It enables file uploading and
downloading between the LMT and the OMU. The functions of the file manager are similar
to those of the FTP client. For example, you can obtain logs and upload data configuration
files.
Convert Management System
The Convert Management System is a component of the LMT software suite. It enables
communication between the OMU and the alarm box and is used to transfer the alarm
information, alarm box control information, and alarm box status information. The Convert
Management System must be started to connect the LMT to the alarm box. The Convert
Management System communicates with the OMU through the E1 port and to the alarm
box through the serial port.
Performance Browser Tool
The performance browser tool is a component of the LMT software suite. It is used to
parse the performance descriptive files in the OMU.
Traffic Recording Review Tool
The Traffic Recording Review Tool is a component of the LMT software suite and is used to
review the trace and monitor data.
In effective mode, the data configured takes effect immediately on the subrack.
In ineffective mode, the data configured for the subrack takes effect only in the OMU and
not on the subrack. In this case, you can run the SET CFGDATAEFFECTIVE command to
set the mode to effective mode, run the FMT DATA command to generate the data
configuration file for the subrack, and then run the RST SUBRACK command to reset the
subrack. In this way, the subrack can load the data configuration from the OMU so that
the data takes effect on the subrack.
If the OMU is newly installed, subrack 0 is in non-effective mode by default. If a subrack is
newly added, it is in ineffective mode by default.
The MBSC OM subsystem supports multi-user operation. For the system security, the
system uses the authority management which includes the following aspects:
Operator identity. An operator must enter the correct user name and password to
log in to the system.
Operation authority. Operators of different types are authorized to use different
command groups for GUI or MML operations. The MBSC categorizes operators
into different types and provides different command groups for each type as a way
to control operation authority.
Operation time limit. An operator can operate the MBSC only in an accountspecific period.
The BSC6900 provides 15 command groups (G_0 to G_14) with different functions by
default:
Function:
Use this command to add an operator account. Make sure that the operator has a
valid account before the operator operates the OMU.
The administrator account "admin" that is configured in the system is authorized to
execute all the commands and cannot be modified or removed.
The name of "emscomm" is reserved. The operator account with the user name of
"emscomm" cannot be added.
You can use this command to set the password, description, operation time limit, and
the operation authority for an operator. Operation right is determined by the operator
type. If the operator is of custom type, his right is determined by command groups
authorized to him.
The operators are classified as five levels:
Custom: The Administrators can define the operators with the Custom level.
They have administrator-defined operation rights.
The rights of the guest, user, operator, and administrator cannot be modified by user.
There are four types of operation time limits, date limit, week limit, time limit, and no
limit. The operator can access the OMU only during the intersection of those time
limits.
When the added operator is of the custom level, you can set the command groups in
which the commands can be executed by the operator.
Alarm Type:
Fault alarms: Alarms caused by hardware faults, for example, board failure, or by the
abnormity of major functions. Fault alarms are of higher severity than event alarms. After
the faults occur, according to the statuses of the faults, fault alarms are divided into active
and recovery alarms.
Event alarms: An event alarm indicates a predefined event that happens during the running
of the devices. The alarm represents an instantaneous status of the system and the status
may not be a fault.
The fault alarms are classified into active and cleared alarms according to the fault status.
Note
The record of a cleared alarm is stored in the OMU database and can be queried.
In scenarios where equipment is being deployed, commissioned, upgraded, swapped, cut
over, or the capacity of a base station is expanded, operations cause a great number of
alarms to be reported. There is no special mechanism to handle such alarms. Large in
number and short in existence period, these alarms make real fault alarms inconspicuous
and thus disturb normal network monitoring. To solve the problem discussed above,
Huawei puts forward the concept of "engineering alarms". With the concept, alarms in
scenarios of engineering maintenance are identified and handled as special cases. In this
way, delicacy management of alarms is implemented and fault OM efficiency of the
operator is improved.

Backing Up Data
to back up system data on the OMU. The system data includes configuration data,
alarm configuration data, and performance configuration data.
Context
When the database system crashes or an upgrade fails, start the tool used for
backing up and restoring system data in the
mbsc\bam\common\services\omu_backup_linker directory. With the latest
backup data, you can recover the system.
If you need to recover only OMU configuration data, run the RTR DB command
and select a corresponding data backup file for data recovery.
NOTE
The default directory for saving backup files is OMU active workspace
installation directory\data\backup. If such a directory does not exist, it will be
created automatically.
If the name of a backup file is not typed, the file is named BKPDB_#_*.bak
automatically. Here, "#" stands for the detailed version information of the working
OMU and "*" stands for the current system time when the backup is performed.
When the number of backup files in the backup directory exceeds 30, the earliest
backup file is automatically deleted.
Through an MML command
Run the LST BKPFILE command to query data backup files saved in the OMU
active workspace installation directory\data\backup directory.
Run the BKP DB command to back up system data on the OMU.
You can query the status of the MTP3 link by link signaling set or by destination signaling
point (DSP).
Query by link signaling set: Each MTP3 link has a unique link number. One
interface board corresponds to multiple links. You can specify a board and a link
number to query the status of an MTP3 link.
Query by DSP: One DSP code (DPC) can be used by multiple MTP3 links. You can
query the status of multiple MTP3 links by querying the corresponding DPC.
The operations related to an MTP3 link are as follows:
Activating: This operation is performed to set up a new MTP3 link.
Deactivating: This operation is performed to remove the MTP3 links and the MTP2
links.
Disabling: This operation is performed to disable the MTP3 links, but the MTP2
links are still available.
Enabling: This operation is performed to enable the MTP3 links.
Through MML commands
Run the DSP MTP3LNK to query the status of MTP3 links.
Run the DSP MTP3RT to query the status of MTP3 route.
Run the DSP N7DPC command to query the status of the specified DPCs.
Run the ACT MTP3LNK command to activate MTP3 links.
Run the DEA MTP3LNK command to deactivate MTP3 links.
Run the INH MTP3LNK command to inhibit MTP3 links.
Run the UIN MTP3LNK command to uninhibit MTP3 links.
Assume that MS A is under the control of the local BSC where the external loopback is performed.
MS B (or a fixed-phone) is under the control of another BSC.
To MSC
After the external loopback towards the MSC is performed, the 64 kbit/s PCM stream
received from the MSC is directly sent to the MSC and the signals received from the BTS are
not sent. The processing mechanism of the received signals remains the same.
In normal cases, after the external loopback towards the MSC is performed, MS A can hear
the voice of MS B. MS B can hear its own voice, but cannot hear the voice of MS A.
After the external loopback towards the MSC is performed, MS B cannot hear its own voice.
In this case, you can infer that the voice problem is caused by the MSC side or A interface.
In this case, if MS A cannot hear the voice of MS B, the fault can be located through the
external loopback towards the BTS or through the DSP speech channel loopback.
To MS
After the external loopback towards the BTS is performed, the 64 kbit/s PCM stream
received on the DPUc is directly sent to the DPUc and the signals received from the MSC
are not sent. The processing mechanism of the received signals remains the same.
In normal cases, after the external loopback towards the BTS is performed, MS A cannot
hear the voice of MS B, but can hear its own voice. MS B can hear the voice of MS A.
After the external loopback towards the BTS is performed, MS A cannot hear its own voice.
In this case, you can infer that the voice problem is caused by the BSS side.
In this case, if MS B cannot hear the voice of MS B, the fault can be located through the
external loopback towards the MSC or through the DSP speech channel loopback.
In the system, the speech is divided into speech in the sending direction and speech in the
receiving direction. Respective channels are used. By looping back the speech sent over the
speech channel through the receiving path and comparing with the sent speech, you can
determine the scope of a speech problem.
The purpose of external speech channel loopback is to detect external speech channel
problems by using speech loopback at the A interface and Ater interface. If external
problems are ruled out, start internal speech channel detection to solve internal speech
channel problems.
Loopback directions include remote loopback (MSC direction) and local loopback (MS
direction).
NOTE:
If you query the user messages through MSISDN, you are advised to set MS ID to that of
the peer end:
(Recommended) To query the calling MS, set the MS ID to that of the called MS.
For example, if the MS calls 12345, then set the MS ID to 12345.
To query the called MS, set the MS ID to that of the calling MS, which is displayed
on the called MS. For example, if 54321 is displayed on the called MS, set the
MSISDN to 54321.
If you query the user messages through TMSI or IMSI, you must determine the
reassignment strategy on the MSC side:
If TMSI is carried, you can query the MS by the TMSI.
If TMSI is carried, you can query the MS by the IMSI.
If you query the user messages by IMEI, you must determine whether the IMEI is available
to the MSC.
You should use Query Single User Resources function to get DSP No. which is used for this
call, then perform the DSP Channels/Links Loopback
Local loopback
When the local loopback is performed on the port of the specified interface board,
the signals sent on the port are sent to the receive channel back to the interface
board. No signal will be sent to peer end.
Remote loopback
When the remote loopback is performed on the port of the specified interface
board, the signals received on the port are directly sent, but the signals on the
board to be sent are not sent. The processing mechanism of the received signals is
the same.
The analysis result is based on analysis of many logs reporting one-way audio. If the total
number of logs is less than 10 in a measurement period, the logs are not analyzed.
NOTE:
The analysis result form contains the log type, fault node, fault times, detailed
information about the fault node, total number of logs, and analysis period of
time. The fault node consists of the cell, TRX, Abis interface board, switching
network board, TC resources, Ater interface, and A interface.
Only the top three types of fault nodes in the descending order of number are
displayed in the analysis result. If the number of fault node types is less than three,
all the fault node types are displayed.
DSP E1T1 : Expected result: The Port running state of the associated E1/T1 port is Port
available.
DSP MTP2LNK : Expected result: The value of Link State is IN SERVICE.
DSP MTP3LNK : Expected result: The value of Operation state is Available.
DSP SSN : Expected result: The value of SSN state is Allowed.
DSP N7DPC : Expected result: The value of SCCP DSP state is Accessible.
DSP ACIC: Expected result: The CIC State of many CICs is Idle, and there is no CIC with
the CIC State of Failure.
DSP ETHPORT: Expected result: The value of Link Availability Status is Available.
Optional: Check the connectivity of the gateway (mandatory in three-layer
networking).
Run the MML command LST IPCHK to query the configuration of the
gateway connectivity check.
Run the MML command STR IPCHK to start the gateway connectivity
check.
In the alarm tab page of the LMT, check whether the ALM-21346 IP
Connectivity Check Failure alarm is reported. If yes, clear the alarm as
suggested.
The Gb interface (Gb interface is the interface between the SGSN and PCU in Huawei GPRS
network) is used to implement packet data transmission, mobility management and session
management between the SGSN and the BSS/MS. The Gb interface is mandatory for the GPRS
networking.
Physical layer protocol L1
The several physical layer configurations and protocols defined in GSM 08.14
are available here. The physical resources shall be configured through the
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) process.
FR (NS layer subnet service protocol)
The Frame Relay (FR) sub-layer of the Gb interface belongs to the NS SubNetwork Service protocol. The FR module enables the interworking of subnetwork so that the PCU may connect to the SGSN through point-to-point
connection or the frame relay network. The point-to-point connection refers to
the direct connection between the PCU and SGSN. Generally the PCU acts as
the DTE and the SGSN the DCE. You may flexibly set the network features of
the PCU and SGSN. Huawei PCU supports the above two connection modes.
The link layer protocol of the Gb interface is based on the FR and defined in
the GSM 08.16. Establish a FR virtual circuit between the SGSN and BSS,
which is to be multiplexed by the LLC PDU from multiple subscribers. This
virtual circuit may be multi-hop and traverse the network consisting of FR
switching nodes. The frame relay is used for signaling and data transmission.
The NS here particularly refers to the network service control part of the NS
protocol. The NS layer protocol implements such functions as NS Service
Data Unit (SDU) data transmission, NS-VC link management, load sharing
of subscriber data and network congestion status indication and network
status report.
BSSGP layer
DSP SIGBVC : Expected result: The value of SIG BVC State is Normal.
If the value of SIG BVC State is Fault, the SGSN may be configured with an NSE
that has a different NSE ID
DSP PTPBVC : Expected result: The value of Service State is Normal.
The transport network layer of the Iu-CS interface consists of the following areas:
Transport network layer user plane (area A)
Transport network layer control plane (area B)
Transport network layer user plane (area C)
Areas A, B, and C share the physical layer and ATM layer. Therefore, all links in the three
areas can be carried on common physical links.
The transport network layer over the Iu-PS interface consists of the transport network layer
user plane (area A) and the transport network layer user plane (area C).
Areas A and C share the physical layer and ATM layer. Therefore, all links in the two areas
can be carried on common physical links.
The transport network layer of the Iu-PS interface consists of the transport network layer
user plane (area A) and the transport network layer user plane (area C).
Areas A and C share the physical layer and data link layer. Therefore, all links in the two
areas can be carried on common physical links.
Report
In this mode, the trace results are reported in real time. The server sends the traced
messages to the LMT PC directly, and the output file is automatically saved to the
LMT PC in *.tmf format.
The default saving path in LMT PC is C:\Web LMT\output\MBSC\trace\tmfFile
Save to OMU
In this mode, you can set the trace interval. The output file is automatically saved
to the OMU in *.tmf format.
The default saving path in OMU is: /mbsc/bam/Version_a/ftp/trace
You can query the trace files on the OMU and upload the trace files onto the LMT
PC by Managing the Trace File
The A interface is the interface between a BSC6900 and an MSC. This section describes
how to trace the BSSAP, MTP2, MTP3, SCCP, SCTP, and M3UA messages on the A
interface. You can perform this task to locate a fault in the following scenarios: timeslot
assignment failure, abnormal releases, location update failure, and handover failure.
To trace signaling messages on the A/Abis/Um interface of a specified subscriber. The user
can be specified by the IMSI, IMEI, TMSI, MSISDN, CELLID, or channel.
If you trace the user messages through the MSISDN, you are advised to set the
MSISDN to that of the peer end:
(Recommended) To trace the calling MS, set the MSISDN to that of the
called MS. For example, if the MS calls 12345, then set the MSISDN to
12345.
To trace the called MS, set the MSISDN to that of the calling MS, which is
displayed on the called MS. For example, if 54321 is displayed on the called
MS, set the MSISDN to 54321.
If you trace the user messages by the TMSI or IMSI, you must check the
reassignment policies on the MSC side:
NOTE
CDT Mode: If you select the CDT mode, you can trace interfaces between internal
modules.
Debug Mode: If you select the debug mode, you can trace stream data in Abis
over IP, Ater over IP, and A over IP scenarios. Interface boards need to be selected
in the Other tab page.
Location Flag: indicates information such as cell ID and TA.
Context
The UE tracing task is to trace signaling messages of a UE on the Iu, Iur, Iub, and Uu interfaces. The
UE can be specified by IMSI, TMSI, P-TMSI, or IMEI.
NOTE:
Each BSC6900 supports a maximum of 12 UE tracing tasks simultaneously.
Procedure
1. Click Trace on the LMT main page. The Trace window is displayed.
2. On the Trace Navigation Tree pane, expand Trace > UMTS Services. Double-click UE
Trace.
3. In the UE Trace dialog box, set the parameters as required, and click Submit. The trace
data pane displays the traced message flow.
NOTE:
If you trace a UE by specifying the IMSI and a consistent IMSI is included in the RRC CONNECTION
REQUEST message from the UE, the UE tracing task traces all the messages that are sent after the
RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message.
Assume that you trace a UE by specifying the IMSI and a consistent IMSI is included only in the
RANAP COMMON ID message but not in the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE. If
CDT_MSG_FULL_TRACE is set to ON, the UE tracing task traces the messages that are sent after the
RANAP COMMON ID message, and the messages before the RANAP COMMON ID message are
buffered and reported to the BSC6900. If CDT_MSG_FULL_TRACE is set to OFF, the messages
before the RANAP COMMON ID message are discarded instead of being buffered.
In the tracing result displayed in the message browse window of UE Trace, the number displayed
in the User ID column has different meanings for different interfaces:
For the Iu interface, the user ID represents DPC ID at the CN side.
For the Iur interface, the user ID represents DPC ID at the BSC6900 side.
For the Iub interface, the user ID represents NODEB ID.
For the Uu interface, the user ID represents CELL ID.
Context
You can specify a cell by entering its cell ID. You can also select the message
types by selecting trace events. The cell message tracing task can be used to trace
NBAP common messages on the Iub interface of a specified cell and to report the
UE statistics as required. The cell to be traced must be activated.
NOTE:
A maximum of six cell tracing tasks can be performed simultaneously.
Each cell tracing task targets at only one cell.

Steps
Obtain the board from the ESD box. Check the pins and sockets.
Press inward the lock washer, as shown in figures e and f, detach the ejector
levers from the lock washer and rotate the ejector levers outward until they can
no longer be rotated. Confirm that the ejector levers are in the position shown in
figure b.
Hold the board with one hand, grasp the panel with the other hand, insert the
board along the guide rail to the subrack, and push the panel until the ejector
levers are locked to the guide rail. At this time, the ejector levers are half-closed.
Quickly rotate the ejector levers inward, as shown in figure c, until they are firmly
attached to the lock washer. At this time, the board has been inserted to the
backplane and the ejector levers are inserted to the subrack, as shown in figure d.
Fasten the screws to fix the board, as shown in figures g and h.

The XPUa board is hot-swappable. It takes about six minutes to replace and load a board.
CAUTION:
Replacing the standby main control XPUa board has no adverse impact on the
services in the system. Replacing the main control XPUa board that works
independently, however, disrupts services carried in the subrack.
Replacing the standby non main control XPUa board has no adverse impact on the
services in the system. Replacing the non main control XPUa board that works
independently, however, disrupts services carried in the board.

Prerequisites
The tools required for replacing an OMU board are prepared: an ESD wrist strap, a
Phillips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, a wrench, and an ESD box or bag.
A new OMU board is prepared.
The version software required for installing the new OMU board is obtained. A
Dopra_Linux_U tool, Suse Linux OS installation disk, or Windows 2003 OS
installation disk is prepared for a new OMU board whose OS is Dopra Linux, Suse
Linux, and Windows 2003 respectively.

To ensure OMU data consistency before and after a replacement, users need to check the
status of the OMU board to be replaced before a replacement. Users need to query and
record the OMU board information, active or standby state, and data synchronization
status.
It is expected that the returned results show that the data, version and licenses are
consistent.

Query and record the external gateway IP address of the OMU board to be replaced.
If the OMU operating system is Dopra Linux or Suse Linux, Log in to the
OMU by referring to Logging In to the OMU.Enter the command route and press
Enter. Query and record the value of Gateway whose Destination is set to
default.

When the new OMU board runs a different OS from that of the OMU board to be
replaced, it is recommended that you switch the OS of the new OMU board to that of the
old OMU board. This takes care of the user operation habit.
If the OMU board to be replaced is faulty and cannot undergo operation and
maintenance, skip procedures for backing up and saving the data and obtain the latest
backup data for restoring the data. The following procedures take a functional OMU
board as an example.
This slide do not discusses how to switch the OS. We will focus on Old and New OMU
Boards Running the Same OS.

If the OMU board to be replaced is faulty and cannot undergo operation and maintenance,
skip procedures for backing up and saving the data and obtain the latest backup data for
restoring the data. The following procedures take a functional OMU board as an example.
BKP DB to back up system files to the specified path. In this step, set Path of Backup
File and File Name to appropriate values.
Save the performance configuration files, SSL certificate files, license files, and OMU
system data to the LMT PC.
Start the file manager on the LMT. For detailed operations, see File Manager.
Select the files to be downloaded in the corresponding directories and click
Download.
Run the MML command LST OMUAREA to query the OMU active workspace.
Assuming that the OMU active workspace is version_a:
Performance configuration files are saved in the directory
\bam\version_a\ftp\DefaultMeas. Only DefaultMeas_Active.xml and
DefaultMeas_Standby.xml need to be backed up.
SSL certificate files are saved in the directory \bam\version_a\ftp\cert.
License files are saved in the directory \bam\version_a\ftp\license.
