OMT for RBS

OMT Main Window

 In the OMT Main window is a View window.
 All information is displayed in a separate window.
 Several windows can be open at any time.
 In this example only one, containing information
about the IDB, is shown.
 There is a status bar at the bottom of the Main
window.
 The Status bar shows the current OMT State and the
selected object or a help text for the highlighted
menu option.
 There is a toolbar at the top of the Main
window. The toolbar shows the most
common operations.
 These operations can be executed by
clicking on an icon on the toolbar or by
selecting the operation in the menu.
Different Main Menus
Fil e:
 The File menu contains IDB-related

commands, for example, Read IDB and Install

IDB.
 These commands can also be found under

the Operation menu when the IDB object is

selected.
 Under the File menu is also the Exit command

which closes the OMT application.

 Connecti on:
 The Connection menu contains
the commands that handle
the connection between the
OMT and the RBS.
Vi ew:
 The View menu makes it possible to select
different views: System Overview, Cabinet
View, Hardware View etc.,
 Object :
 The different objects for the chosen view can be
found under the Object menu.
For example, RUs, Alarm Inlets.
Ope ra tio n:
 The Operation menu contains the different
operations that are available for the chosen object.
 Every object has operations that can be executed.
 The operations are not the same for all objects so
the command options in the Operation menu change
depending on the chosen object.
Wi ndo w:
 Commands that are used to arrange windows and
icons are found under the Window menu.
He lp :
 The Help menu offers commands that display help
pages for both the OMT application and the help tool.
OMT State s

 The OMT executes in one of five different states

which are: Init, Local IDB, Connected (No IDB),
Connected (Local IDB) and Connected.
 The current OMT State is displayed on the Status
bar.
 Some operations cannot be performed in all states.
Menu items representing operations not available in
the current state are disabled and displayed in light
grey text.
In it:
 The OMT is in the Init state when it is started.

 In this state, the OMT is not connected to the RBS

and does not operate on any IDB.

 The only view available in this state is the System

Overview.
Local IDB :
 In this state, the OMT is not connected to the RBS,

but is operating on a local copy of the IDB in the

OMT.
Connected (No ID B):
 Here the OMT is connected to the RBS but
has no access to any IDB copy.
 The only view available in this state is the
System Overview.
 The Connected (No IDB) state should be seen
as a transitional state, because this state
does not offer any new operations or
functions compared to the Local IDB or
Connected state.
Co nn ected (Local IDB ):
 Now the OMT is connected to the RBS and operates

on a local IDB copy.

 The Connected (Local IDB) state should, like the

Connected (No IDB) state, be seen as a transitional

state.

Co nn ected:
 In this state, the OMT is connected to the RBS and

operates on an IDB copied to or from the RBS.

 The IDB has been read from the RBS to the
OMT.
 The OMT can be executed in different states.
 Depending on the type of command executed
the OMT may move from one state to the
other.
 For example, if the OMT operates in state Init
and the Connect command is executed, the
OMT State changes to the Connected (No
IDB) state.
View
 A view displays the RBS 2000 system
graphically.
 There are four types of views:
 System Overview, Cabinet View,
Hardware View and MO View.
To select a view:
 1. Se lect Vi ew | <a view >.
System Overview
 The System Overview window shows
the BSC, the PCM link, the Alarm Inlets,
the RBS, the OMT and the IDB, that is,
an overview of the whole system.
 The System Overview is displayed when
the program is first started.
Cabinet Overview
 The Cabinet View window shows the
hardware items in the RBS, that is, the
cabinet appearance.
 All objects that can be selected when this
view is active are not visible in the normal
view.
 BDM stands for Battery Distribution module.
It is similar to IDM.
Hardware View
 The Hardware View window shows the
RBS’s schematic structure.
 There are hidden objects such as
Sensors and Cables.
 These objects can be selected through
the Main menu Object.
MO View
 Managed Object (MO) is the name of a generalised
object.
 An operation defined for an MO is actually defined for
the TRX.
 The Managed Objects have also internal state that
you can manipulate by commands from Base Station
Controller (BSC).
 These states are Reset, Start, Disable and Enable.
 The Managed Objects CF, TF, DP, CON
and IS corresponds to the hardware
unit DXU in the BTS.
 The Managed Objects TRX, TX, RX and
TS corresponds to the hardware unit
TRU in the BTS.
Using OMT
Start the OMT as follows:
1. Open the Start menu.
2. Select Programs.
3. Select the OMT menu.
4. Select the installed OMT version from the menu.

The Exit Comman d

 The Exit command closes the OMT application.
 The command performs the following actions before
closing the program: close all open windows and
disconnect the OMT from the RBS.
 Connect:
 A connection between the OMT and the RBS
must be established before the OMT can use
the IDB in the RBS or monitor information.
 The connection is established with the
Connect command.
 Connect the OMT to the RBS as follows:
1. S elec t C onne ct ion | Connec t.
 There are different operations like Read IDB, Open
IDB, Install IDB each of which performs the specified
task.
 “Read IDB” command transfers an IDB copy from the
RBS to the OMT.
 Execute the Install IDB command to install the IDB
that the OMT is operating on into the RBS.
 The IDB in the RBS is replaced by the IDB that the
OMT is operating on.
 The DXU must be in Local Mode to be able to accept
a new IDB.
