f Important Notice on Product Safety Elevated voltages are inevitably present at specific points in this electrical equipment. Some of the parts may also have elevated operating temperatures.

Non-observance of these conditions and the safety instructions can result in personal injury or in property damage.

Therefore, only trained and qualified personnel may install and maintain the system.

The system complies with the standard EN 60950 / IEC 60950. All equipment connected has to comply with the applicable safety standards.

The same text in German:

Wichtiger Hinweis zur Produktsicherheit

In elektrischen Anlagen stehen zwangsläufig bestimmte Teile der Geräte unter Span-nung. Einige Teile können auch eine hohe Betriebstemperatur aufweisen.

Eine Nichtbeachtung dieser Situation und der Warnungshinweise kann zu Körperverlet-zungen und Sachschäden führen.

Deshalb wird vorausgesetzt, dass nur geschultes und qualifiziertes Personal die Anlagen installiert und wartet.

Das System entspricht den Anforderungen der EN 60950 / IEC 60950. Angeschlossene Geräte müssen die zutreffenden Sicherheitsbestimmungen erfüllen.

1 25 TBF Observation for GPRS TraceTBF Observation for GPRS Trace is a part of the System Level Trace for GPRS. It also expands the tracing capabilities to packet switched services.

TBF Observation for GPRS Trace observes two events and registers them in the coun-ters:

• resource consumption by the subscriber during tracing, which includes allocations, reallocations and releases of Temporary Block Flows (TBF)

• call quality related transactions performed on the subscriber, which consist of changes in the used coding scheme and MS flow control

The System Level Trace for GPRS in BSC is activated by a message from the SGSN.
