(when the service is unavailable). The SDT does not support a base station parameter

modification function, or a tracing and interception function. It cannot access to user data.

Delete base station configuration files on the smartphone, and modify the LMT password of

the base station through the OMC immediately after the base station is ready for services.

The smartphone deployed with the SDT communicates with the AP using the standard Wi-Fi

protocol, which includes the standard security mechanism of Wi-Fi, Wireless Application

Protocol (WAP/WPA2/WEP). After purchasing the AP, you can set the encryption protocol of

Wi-Fi according to the User Manual. When you use the AP, disable the SSID broadcast

function.

The AP communicates with the base station using the standard TCP/IP protocol through

RJ45cable.

The communication between the smartphone deployed with the SDT and the base station is in

compliance with the TCP/IP protocol. It uses the MML or BIN maintenance interface of the

base station to perform site deployment operations. No private interface is used between BTS

and SDT.

All OM interfaces between the smartphone deployed with the SDT and the base station

function in compliance with the security mechanism of the base station, which is identical

with the security mechanism between the LMT and the base station. If the communication

does not comply with the security mechanism, the SDT cannot communicate with the base

station.





18

The SDT GUI does not support any MML command input operations. The resulting

commands of the function icons are based on MML commands for LMT products. To learn

the MML commands, see the LMT User Manual released with the base station.

The SDT records operation logs, which contain information on the related MML commands,

operation time, and command results. No personal data is recorded in the logs.

All SDT user accounts and passwords used to log in to the base station are encrypted with

AES256 by default. You cannot change the base station's user names and passwords on the

SDT.

The SDT software is scanned by the antivirus software, such as the Symantec and OfficeScan.

Install antivirus software for the smartphone deployed with the SDT running Android. This

can prevent the smartphone from virus or Trojan Horse attacks and protect the network. The

mainstream antivirus software vendors for Android smartphones include AVG, ESET,

Norton/Symantec, Avast, Dr.Web, F-Secure, Ikarus, Kaspersky, Zoner, and Lookout.

If the value of Product Type is BTS3900_WCDMA, the exported file name is

NodeBCfg.xml.

If the value of Product Type is BTS3900_LTE, the exported file name is

M2000.XML.

If the value of Product Type is BTS3900, the exported file name is

CFGDATA.XML.

If the configuration data file generated for BTS3900 WCDMA using another method is

not NodeBCfg.xml, rename it as NodeBCfg.xml.

If the configuration data file generated for BTS3900 LTE using another method is not

M2000.XML, rename it as M2000.XML.

Description of the Preconfiguration Script File (Precfg.ini) The preconfiguration script file Precfg.ini is used by a base station to download software

for unconfigured boards of the base station.

The base station downloads software corresponding to board types defined in Precfg.ini.

The Precfg.ini file must be made based on the hardware configuration of the base station.

If the file contains excessive unnecessary boards, the upgrade fails due to excessive

software to be loaded.

When the base station downloads software, all software of boards in Precfg.ini and

installed boards will be downloaded.

If Precfg.ini is unavailable, the base station downloads software based on the latest

configuration. After the base station is reset successfully, the base station installs

software of new boards.

Precfg.ini is saved in ANSI format.

For the software upgrade of GBTSs and SRAN8.0 base stations, the SDT delivers

Precfg.ini and then software to the base stations to ensure that all required board

software be downloaded at a time.

For the upgrade of UMTS and LTE base stations from SRAN7.0 to SRAN7.x or

SRAN8.0, UMTS and LTE base stations in SRAN7.0 do not support Precfg.ini, and

therefore the SDT downloads only software of configured and installed boards. If a

board or an RF module is added, you need to install software through the SDT or

M2000.

For details about how to make Precfg.ini, see 3900 Series Base Station Commissioning Guide.

The software package *.csp for GBTSs in SRAN8.0 must be obtained from BTS3900

V100R008C00SPC200 Version(GBTS Tools).zip.

Do not modify or delete contents in the software package.

Usage descriptions of software packages for base stations in SRAN8.0

The NE Type field displayed behind the software version indicates whether it is an

SRAN package or a single-mode package.

SRAN8.0 package version numbers are normalized to V100R008. GBTS, NodeB,

eNodeB and SRAN packages are all packed into an SRAN package. You need to

download the whole package to the SDT and then download the package to the base

station.





41

SRAN packages are large in size. For a single-mode site, you only need to download a

single-mode package with the version number of V100R008.

The SDT manages software packages based on their versions. SRAN and single-mode

packages have the same version number. Therefore, a newly uploaded software package

will overwrite an existing software package on the SDT. You can only use an SRAN

package to overwrite a single-mode package. The software of a single mode in the

SRAN package is the same as the software in a single-mode package.

For a single-mode site where mode expansion is required, if you obtained only a

single-mode package for the original mode before the upgrade, you need to download an

SRAN package from http://support.huawei.com and then upload it to the SDT.

1.6.3 Creating Directories

Step 1 Create the HuaweiBTSInfo directory on the PC.

Step 2 Create the GSM, UMTS, LTE, BTS3900, or LIC directory in the HuaweiBTSInfo directory as required.

Step 3 Create the Software directory in the GSM, UMTS, LTE, or BTS3900 directory. The Software directory is used for storing the version of software for the BTS mode and cannot

be deleted or modified.

Step 4 Create Site name_ID (such as AirportG_438) directories in the GSM, UMTS, LTE, or BTS3900 directory. A Site name_ID directory is used for storing configuration files of a base

station, as shown in the following figure.





42

The folder name must not contain more than 128 English characters.

To avoid errors introduced by manual selection, ensure that the site name and ID in the

directory name are the same as those in the CME configuration.

1.6.4 Storing Files

Step 1 Store the version of software for the GSM, UMTS, or LTE BTS mode in the Software directory in the GSM, UMTS, or LTE directory.

1. The Precfg.ini, and *.csp files are required in the HuaweiBTSInfo\GSM\Software directory, as shown in the following figure.

The GSM software name is also the version and cannot be modified, for example,

BTS3000V100R014C00SP12.csp.

For the upgrade from GSM 7.0 to GSM 8.0, the software package *.csp must be obtained

from V100R008C00SPC200 Version(GBTS Tools).zip and saved to the

HuaweiBTSInfo\GSM\Software directory.

2. The Software.csp and vercfg.xml files are required in the HuaweiBTSInfo\UMTS\Software directory, as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION

CAUTION





43

Do not modify file names of Software.csp and vercfg.xml.

For the upgrade from UMTS 7.0 to BTS3900 WCDMA 8.0, the software package

Software.csp must be obtained from BTS3900 V100R002C00T.zip and saved to the

HuaweiBTSInfo\UMTS\Software directory.

3. The Software.csp and vercfg.xml files are required in the HuaweiBTSInfo\LTE\Software directory, as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION





44

The Software.csp and vercfg.xml files must be configured at the same time, or neither of

them is configured. Do not delete them or change their file names.

For the upgrade from LTE 7.0 to BTS3900 LTE 8.0, the software package Software.csp

must be obtained from the eNodeB folder in BTS3900 V100R002C00T.zip and saved to

the HuaweiBTSInfo\LTE\Software directory.

4. The RAT folders and related files are required in the HuaweiBTSInfo\BTS3900\Software directory, as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION

All files in the Software folder are extracted from BTS3900 V100R002C00T.zip. Do not

rename files and folders in the Software folder.

Step 2 Store Precfg.ini in the GSM and BTS3900 folders, respectively.

1. Precfg.ini in the GSM folder is stored in HuaweiBTSInfo\GSM\Software, as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION





45

2. Precfg.ini in the BTS3900 folder is stored in HuaweiBTSInfo\BTS3900, as shown in the following figure.

Step 3 In each Site name_ID directory in the GSM, UMTS, LTE, or BTS3900 directory, store the configuration file of a base station exported from the CME.

CAUTION

Do not change the file names and extension names of base station configuration files

TranCfg.INI, NodeBCfg.xml, M2000.XML, and CFGDATA.XML.

File names of configuration files for the same RAT are the same. Therefore, you must store

configuration files in correct directories for base stations.

The GSM configuration file TranCfg.INI is stored in a site directory of

HuaweiBTSInfo\GSM.





46

The UMTS configuration file NodeBCfg.xml is stored in a site directory of

HuaweiBTSInfo\UMTS.

CAUTION

For the upgrade from UMTS 7.0 to BTS3900 WCMDA 8.0, NodeBCfg.xml is exported from

the CME. The value of Product Type on the site deployment GUI must be

BTS3900_WCDMA.

The LTE configuration file M2000.XML is stored in a site directory of

HuaweiBTSInfo\LTE.





47

CAUTION

For the upgrade from LTE 7.0 to BTS3900 LTE 8.0, M2000.XML is exported from the CME.

The value of Product Type on the site deployment GUI must be BTS3900_ LTE.

The BTS3900 configuration file CFGDATA.XML is stored in a site directory of

HuaweiBTSInfo\BTS3900.

Step 4 Store the license file in the LIC directories respectively.





48

The file names TranCfg.INI, NodeBCfg.xml, M2000.XML, and CFGDATA.XML cannot

be changed.

Store the configuration file of a base station in the Site name_ID directory of which Site

name is the name of the base station. Otherwise, configuration files may be stored in an

incorrect directory because configuration files of base stations in the same BTS mode have

the same name.

1.6.5 Copying the HuaweiBTSInfo Directory to the Smartphone

Copy the HuaweiBTSInfo directory to the root directory of the internal or external SD card

of the smartphone.

For details about how to copy files, see section 1.11 "FAQs."

1.7 Starting the SDT The SDT supports the following types of operations:

1. Site deployment and detection: The SDT is used for commissioning after hardware installation. In this scenario, login to the base station is required because the SDT must

communicate with the base station.

2. Site acceptance: The SDT is used for site acceptance. Login to the base station is not required.

During site deployment, including data loading and activation, the software, configuration file,

and license file of a base station are loaded to the base station and activated using the

smartphone.

Procedure

Step 1 Connecting the AP to the Base Station

The base station version, smartphone configuration, Wi-Fi AP configuration, and transfer

cable model meet the requirements

Connections of the GTMUb, WMPT, and LMPT in sections 1.2.5 "SDT System Networking."

CAUTION

CAUTION





49

To ensure that Wi-Fi signals are stable, the distance between the smartphone and the AP must

be less than 20 m.

To avoid site deployment exceptions due to multi-user operations, only one SDT user can log

in to a base station at a time.

Step 2 Starting the SDT on Smartphone

Step 3 Parse the SDTConfig.txt file.

After the SDT starts, the SDT reads information in the SDTConfig.txt file that is stored in the

root directory of the SD card and verifies validity of all configuration item settings. In this

case, the SDT can obtain the required parameters, such as the IP address of the base station.

If parameter setting validity verification fails, a prompt is displayed, and the SDT switches to

the offline mode.

Step 4 Select a BTS mode and site name.

The SDT automatically obtains BTS mode information from the btsList field in

SDTConfig.txt. Available BTS modes are GSM, UMTS, LTE, and BTS3900.

CAUTION
