3 BSC Commissioning Process

This describes the process of commissioning the BSC. This process consists of commissioningBSC equipment, loading the BSC host software, verifying interfaces, loading the BTS software,verifying the BSC services, and connecting the BSC to the M2000.

4 Commissioning the BSC Equipment

Commissioning the BSC equipment is the basis of commissioning the entire BSC. Thecommissioning of the interfaces and services can be performed only after the BSC equipmentis commissioned. Commissioning the BSC equipment involves commissioning the GBAM/GOMU, commissioning the LMT, commissioning the BSC clock, loading the data configurationfile, loading the BSC host software, verifying the switchover of the BSC active/standby boards,and verifying the license file.

5 Verifying the Ater Interface

This describes how to verify the Ater interface when the BM and the TC are configured indifferent subracks.

6 Verifying the A Interface

This describes how to verify the A interface. The A interface can adopt the E1/T1 transmissionmode or the FE/GE transmission mode. When the A interface adopts the E1/T1 transmissionmode, the mapping data link layer adopts the TDM transmission mode; when the A interfaceadopts the FE/GE transmission mode, the mapping data link layer adopts the IP transmissionmode.

7 Verifying the Pb Interface

This describes how to verify the Pb interface when the external PCU is configured for the BSC.

8 Verifying the Abis Interface

This describes how to verify the Abis interface on the BSC side when commissioning the BSC.

9 Verifying the Gb Interface

This describes how to verify the Gb interface when the built-in PCU is configured for the BSC.

10 Loading the BTS Software (Commissioning)

This describes how to load the BTS software and data when commissioning the BSC.

11 Processing Alarms Generated in the BSC Commissioning

Alarms may be generated in commissioning the BSC; thus affecting the subsequent verificationof services. This describes how to process alarms generated in the BSC commissioning.

12 Verifying the BSC Services

This describes how to verify the basic services and part of the feature services provided by theBSC. The basic services consist of the speech service, data service, OM management; the featureservices consist of the inter-RAT handover, location service, and AMR service.

13 Connecting the BSC to the M2000

This describes how to connect the BSC to the M2000 for centralized management.

similar to the procedures for loading the data configuration file to the GOMU. In the followingexample, the data configuration file is loaded to the GBAM of the BSC.

The procedure for loading the data configuration file in GUI mode is as follows:

l Restore with local file: The configuration file is loaded from the LMT PC to the GBAM.Thus, the BSC runs the loaded configuration file.

l Load file from local to GBAM: The configuration file is loaded from the LMT PC to theGBAM.

l Restore with GBAM file: The BSC runs the configuration file on the GBAM.l Delete GBAM file: The configuration file is deleted from the GBAM.l Restore GBAM Normally: The GABM is restarted with the current configuration data.

CAUTIONl After the configuration file is loaded, the communication between the LMT and the GBAM

is interrupted temporarily. You need to manually connect the LMT to the GBAM. After theconnection succeeds, BSC needs to be reset.

l After performing the loading and recovery operations, use the password corresponding tothe backup files to log in to the LMT. The login password used before the loading andrecovery becomes invalid.

l The loading and recovery operations may cause the loss of the GABM data. Therefore,Huawei recommends that you back up the GBAM data before these operations.

13 Connecting the BSC to the M2000

This describes how to connect the BSC to the M2000 for centralized management.

Prerequisitel The commissioning of the BSC local office is successful.

l The commissioning of the OM network is successful and the M2000 is functional.

l The M2000 version matches the BSC version.

Contextl If the BSC and the M2000 are on the same network segment, you need not configure the

route.l If the BSC and the M2000 are not on the same network segment, you need to configure the

route before connecting the BSC to the M2000.

NOTE

The method of configuring the route between the GBAM and the M2000 is the same as that between theGOMU and the M2000.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the BSC to the OM network.1. If the GBAM server is used, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN switch,

which is connected to the BSC. If the GOMU is used, connect one end of the Ethernet cableto the GOMU.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network equipment, such as a hub or arouter, to the OM network.

Step 2 Configure the route from the BSC to the M2000.

HUAWEI BSC6000 Base Station ControllerBSC Commissioning Guide 13 Connecting the BSC to the M2000


13-1

CAUTIONl In this operation, do not restart the GBAM/GOMU. If the GBAM/GOMU must be restarted,

you need to the local process of the GBAM/GOMU and the core process of the GBAM/GOMU simultaneously.

l The IP address of the GBAM/GOMU and that of the router are on the same network segment.

Take the following scenario as an example. Assume that the IP address of the M2000 server is10.11.100.23 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The GBAM/GOMU is connected to theM2000 router whose the IP address is 172.121.139.10.

Log in to the GBAM/GOMU as user root. Then, perform the following steps:

1. Open the /etc/sysconfig/network/routes file to view the routing information configuredon the GBAM/GOMU.

l If the information about the routing from the GBAM/GOMU to the M2000 isconfigured, perform Step 2.2.

l If no information about the routing from the GBAM/GOMU to the M2000 is available,add the routing information 10.11.100.23 172.121.139.10 255.255.255.0 into the file.The routing information consists of destination network (or destination host)gateway network mask.

2. Run the route command to view all the valid routing information on the GBAM/GOMU.

l If the route information from the GBAM/GOMU to the M2000 is validated, this task iscomplete.

l Otherwise, run the route add 10.11.100.23 172.121.139.10 command.

3. Verify the route configuration.

l Check whether the routing information is valid.

Run the route command to view the valid tracing information on the GBAM/GOMU.Normally, you can view the routing information from the GBAM/GOMU to the M2000.If the information cannot be viewed, perform Step 2.1 again to check whether theconfiguration is correct.

l Check the network between the GBAM/GOMU and the M2000.

a. Check whether the physical connection between the GBAM and the LAN switch,the physical connection between the LAN switch and the router, and the physicalconnection between the router and the M2OOO are proper. Or, check whether thephysical connection between the GOMU and the router and that between the routerand the M2000 are proper.

b. Run the ping 172.121.139.10 command to check the network from the GBAM/GOMU to the router. If the GBAM/GOMU receives the response packet from therouter, you can infer that the network communication between the GBAM/GOMUand the router is normal.

c. Run the ping 172.121.139.10 command to check the network from the GBAM/GOMU to the M2000. If GBAM/GOMU receives the response packet from theM2000, you can infer that the routing information from the GBAM/GOMU to theM2000 is configured correctly and the network communication is normal.

Step 3 Connect the BSC to the M2000.

15.1 Failure in Connecting the LMT to the GBAM/GOMUWhen the GBAM/GOMU runs normally, logging in to the GBAM/GOMU through the LMTmay fail. This describes how to troubleshoot the failure.

Fault DescriptionThe GBAM/GOMU runs normally. After you enter Name and Password and click OK, youfail to log in to the GBAM/GOMU.

Troubleshooting1. Check whether the Name and Password are correct.

l If the name and password are incorrect, enter the correct name and password.

l If the information is incorrect, go to 2.

2. If the GBAM server is used, check whether the Ethernet cable between the LMT PC andthe LAN switch, and the Ethernet cable between the GBAM and the LAN switch aresecurely connected. If the GOMU is used, check whether the network between the LMTPC and the GOMU is securely connected.l If the Ethernet cables are loosely connected, replace them with new ones.

l If they are securely connected, go to 3.

3. l If the GBAM server is used, check whether the LAN switch is started with correctlyconfigured network segment.– If the LAN switch is not started with correctly configured network segment, start

the LAN switch and configure the correct network segment.– Contact Huawei Customer Service Center, if the fault persists.

l If the GOMU is used, Contact Huawei Customer Service Center, if the fault persists.

15.2 Faults on the Abis Interface LinksThis describes how to rectify the faults on the Abis interface links.

Fault DescriptionOn the LMT, the status of E1 ports of the BTS are normal, and no E1/T1 link alarm is generated.However, the OMLs or RSLs are unavailable.

Troubleshootingl If the OMLs fail, do as follows:

1. Find a BTS (assume BTS 1) that is running normally and is of the same type as theBTS (assume BTS 2) whose OMLs are faulty. Connect BTS 2 to the port on the GEIUBof BTS 1 and then reset BTS 2.

2. If the OMLs recover after the BTS is reset, you can infer that the configuration dataof the OMLs is incorrect. Check the configuration data for correctness. If the faultpersists, you can infer that BTS 2 is faulty. Contact the BTS maintenance personnel.

15 BSC Commissioning TroubleshootingHUAWEI BSC6000 Base Station Controller



Issue 04 (2010-05-20)

NOTE

Generally, the configuration data of the OMLs refers to the port number, timeslot number, and sub-timeslot number.

l If the OMLs are normal but the RSLs fail, do as follows:

1. View the running status of the BTS through the LMT. For details, refer to QueryingBTS Running Status.

– If the initial status of the BTS is No or the initial status of the cell is No, you caninfer that the BTS or the cell is not initialized. Find out the reason.

– If the initial status of the BTS and the initial status of the cell are Yes, check theconfiguration data of the RSLs for correctness.

NOTE

l Generally, the configuration data of the RSLs refers to the port number, timeslotnumber, in-port number, and in-timeslot number.

l The configuration of the RSLs is delivered to the BTS through a BTS initializationmessage. If the RSLs fail because the message is incorrectly delivered, you can inferthat the fault is caused on the BSC side.

l If the RSLs fail because the TRXs are not installed in the BTS, the TRXs are in poorcontact with the backplane of the BTS, or the TRXs incur major alarms, you can inferthat the fault is caused on the BTS side.

– If the RSLs fail when the configuration data is correct, you can infer that the faultis caused on the BTS side. Contact the BTS maintenance personnel.

15.3 Failure in Starting the GBAMThis describes how to handle the failure of starting the GBAM.

Fault Description

The fault symptoms are as follows:

l The description of LEDs on the panel is as follows:

– After the GBAM is powered on, the ON LED and the two LEDs that indicate the statusof the read and write function of hard disks blink in yellow. Then, the ON LED stillblinks in yellow but the two LEDs that indicate the status of the read and write functionof hard disks are off.

– The PWR LED is on in yellow.

l An alarm is generated by the main control board at the frequency of 1 Hz. Three successivesounds are produced and another three successive sounds are produced after two seconds.

l The KVM remains a dark screen and nothing is displayed. After the KVM is powered offand then powered on, LCD KVM is displayed and then the following is displayed:NO INPUT SIGNAL

The possible causes are as follows:

l The BIOS incurs faults.

l When shutting down the GBAM, the operator directly switches off the power instead ofpowering off the GBAM normally.



15-3

Troubleshooting

You can take the following measures:

1. Check and ensure that the power cables are securely connected.2. Based on the analysis of the 1 Hz alarm, you may conclude that the memory is faulty;

therefore, the GBAM cannot be started. Remove and install the memory. If the fault persists,proceed to the next step.

3. Discharge the BIOS battery and then restart the GBAM. If the GBAM is started normallyand runs normally, the faults are rectified.

15.4 Inconsistent Data Configurations on the Abis/Ater/A/Pb/Gb Interfaces

This describes how to handle the problem of inconsistent data configurations on the Abisinterface, the Ater interface, the A interface, the Pb interface, and the Gb interface.

Fault Description

After verifying the Abis, Ater, A, Pb, and Gb interfaces, the actual results do not reach theexpectation. A comparison between the data configured on the interfaces and the negotiated datashows that the cause is data inconsistency.
