Configuring IP settings on your PC

For Windows 7 PC select

Network center then
change adaptor settings
 Configure PC TCP/IP settings

BTS Local IP
192.168.0.72

Set PC IP within the

same subnet as the
BTS.
 Windows XP Procedure
Procedure
To set the IP address of the PC, perform the following steps where the Windows XP
operating system is taken as an example: On Windows XP, choose Start > Setting >
Control Panel.
Double-click Network Connections in the displayed Control Panel window. Right-click
Local Area Connection in the displayed dialog box.
Choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The Local Area Connection Properties
dialog box is displayed.
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Properties dialog box is displayed.
Select Use the following IP address.
Enter the correct IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Ensure that the IP
address of the SMT PC is in the same network segment as the IP addresses
(192.168.0.72/255.255.255.0) of the BTS so that a maintenance channel on the BTS
side can be established.
Click OK to complete the settings

 Ping Tests

1.Run ping 192.168.0.72 via command prompt to verify the network connection between the computer
and the BTS.
The IP address of the BTS is 192.168.0.72.

• If the information similar to that in the following example is returned,

the SMT PC and the BBU can communicate normally.

• Pinging 192.168.0.72 with 32 bytes of data: Pinging 192.168.0.72 with 32 bytes of data:
• Reply from 192.168.0.72: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=253 Reply from 192.168.0.72: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=253
• Reply from 192.168.0.72: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=253 Reply from 192.168.0.72: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=253
• Ping statistics for 192.168.0.72: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

• If the SMT PC and the BBU fail to communicate, the possible reason is as follows:
• The GTMU is faulty.
• The Ethernet cable is faulty, or its connectors are loose.
• The Ethernet port on the SMT PC is faulty.
• The BTS is resetting.
• The IP address is incorrect.

Upgrade

www.huawei.com

Copyright © 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

 Preparing the Files on the USB

In order for SW to be automatically downloaded from USB to BBU a preconfig script is required.
This is the same file as needed for the FTP upgrade procedure.

This should be on the USB already but below shows how it is prepared.

1. Create a pre-configuration script.

• Create a .txt, and name it as Precfg.ini. Then, add the following contents to this file:
• [PRECONFIG]
• ALL=GTMU|MRFU|UBRI
2. Save the pre-configuration file in ASCII mode.
3. Copy the file Precfg.ini to BTS3900 GSM Folder on the USB.

Extra details in notes attached.

 Arranging the Files on the USB

Save the GBTS software package and configuration script under the specified path on the USB device

Page23
 Upgrading Software using the USB stick

Before the USB stick is inserted check the GTMU Run LED. It should be flashing 1s on 1s off.
Ensure Transmission link is disconnected from BSC before attempting a local SW upgrade.

1. Insert the USB disk into the USB port on the GTMU, as shown in figure below.

Wait a few moments and watch the Run LED on the GTMU and the USB.

2. When the software begins to download, the Run LED will begin to flash rapidly 0.125s on 0.125s off.
At the same time the USB LED will do the same.
If this does not happen check the USB files are correct and retry.
Extended notes attached.

3. When the SW is downloaded the BTS will reset.

When the reset is complete and the BTS is stable you should see the following.

The GTMU Run LED should now be flashing 1s on 1s off.

The USB LED should be solid Green

This whole process will take 10-15 minutes

4. Pull out the USB disk from the BTS. The SW upgrade is complete.

 5. Using FTP Server for SW
Upgrade

www.huawei.com

Copyright © 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

 Preparing the Files for FTP server SW download.

In order for the SW to be downloaded to the BBU a preconfig script is required.

This is the same file as needed for the USB upgrade procedure.
This should be created as below and stored in the FTP Server folder in BTSM
Ensure Transmission link is disconnected from BSC before attempting a local SW upgrade.

1. Create a pre-configuration script.

• Create a .txt, and name it as Precfg.ini. Then, add the following contents to this file:
• [PRECONFIG]
• ALL=GTMU|MRFU|UBRI
2. Save the pre-configuration file in ASCII mode.
3. Copy the file Precfg.ini to the FTP Server Folder in BTSM.

 Downloading IPoE1 Config file using the USB stick

Before the USB stick is inserted check the GTMU Run LED. It should be flashing 1s on 1s off.
Ensure Transmission link is disconnected from BSC before attempting a local SW upgrade.

Insert the USB disk into the USB port on the GTMU, as shown in figure below.

Wait a few moments and watch the LED on the GTMU and the USB.

When the Config file begins to download, the GTMU Run LED will flash rapidly. At the same
time the USB LED will do the same. This will flash for a few seconds.
If this does not happen check the USB files are correct and retry.

Extended notes attached.

Page58
 Downloading IPoE1 Config file using the USB stick

When the Config file is downloaded, the BTS will reset.

If it does not, then the config file could be incorrect. Please consult Huawei Engineer.
The GTMU must reset in order for the config to take effect.

When the reset is complete and the BTS is stable you should see the following.

The GTMU Run LED should now be flashing 1s on 1s off.

The USB LED should be solid Green

This whole process will take approx 5 minutes

4. Pull out the USB stick from the BTS. The Config File is now installed.

IMPORTANT.
The config file on the USB will only work once on the same GTMU. If you find you have an issue with
this please contact a Huawei Engineer.
