1.3.5 9953 MP HMI Server

The 9953 MP HMI Server is a PC server machine running on the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition operating system. The recommended hardware for this configuration is HP Proliant ML370 G4 (or equivalent), with several SCSI disks integrated in a RAID5 controller.It is a dedicated 9953 MP Client running on the Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server 4.0 platform. Running the 9953 MP application locally is not recommended; it must only be run from the remote Citrix Clients inside the same LAN, or a different WAN. The 9953 MP HMI Server is installed to remotely run multiple and parallel 9953 MP client applications via the Terminal Services offered by the Windows Server 2003. This solution is applied in order to reuse the old PCs or workstations.

2 9953 MP Main Features

2.1 NPA/RNO Migration to NPO

The B9 NPA and B9 RNO databases can be migrated to the NPO database in order to save data from NPA/RNO into NPO database.

2.2 Cluster Configuration

The 9953 MP 24000 cluster hardware configuration is based on two V490 servers (nodes) that cooperate as a single system. Based on Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) it is deployed to improve performances provided by a single computer. The connection between the nodes is provided using a public network and a second private network. Oracle RAC requires also a virtual IP address for each server in the cluster on the same subnet as LAN, used by applications to connect to the RAC database. The shared storage is assured by a Fiber Channel Switch required in the cluster configuration.

2.3 QoS Analysis

The NPO collects periodical measurements of the radio traffic, radio resource usage, and handover behavior from the network elements through the declared OMC-Rs. These measurements serve the quality of service monitoring at the NPO, and back-office activities such as network optimization and network planning. The user can create their own counters and indicators, and customize system ones. They can then be analysed in QoS reports. Special functions allow identification of the worst or best cells related to a QoS indicator, to get reports on the QoS evolution, and to compare the service quality of different cells. Comparing QoS indicator values with predefined thresholds, the NPO ensures rapid verification of the quality of service in each single cell. For more information, refer to Counters and Indicators in the NPO User Guide.

2.4 Create and Execute Reports

The NPO operator can view the results of QoS analysis in the form of reports for a selected set of network resources and the defined report period They contain both tables and graphs (several functions graphically displayed simultaneously). The customer can also customize reports, for an easier adaptation to their needs. For more information, refer to Reports in the NPO User Guide.

2.5 Reference Values

Reference values are recommended values of parameters. They allow a quick audit of the network and permit the operator to detect which objects do not follow recommendations for parameter values. The reference values for a parameter depend on different criteria, such as cell type, cell class, frequency, BTS type, etc. NPO is delivered with a default set of reference values but they can be customized. For more information, refer to Reference Values in the NPO User Guide.

2.6 Events
Events show when the key information of a cell has changed. There is a different event per type of parameter (identifier, BSC, frequency, etc.) or topology change (for example, Move BTS). The event can be displayed in reports or in a dedicated tabular viewer. For more information, refer to Events in the NPO User Guide.

2.7 Rules
Rules are Excel files that express the dependency between two or more parameters of a given object, and are stored in the Oracle database. Conditions and expressions regarding other parameters are defined inside the rule, indicating when a rule is applicable. For more information, refer to Rules in the NPO User Guide.

2.8 Diagnosis
NPO is used to investigate and diagnose QoS problems. Depending on the raised problem, it proposes some corrective actions and/or extra investigations. In order to benefit directly from any optimizers field experience, NPO allows integration of new diagnosis scenarios. Therefore, the network optimizer can rely on the diagnosis rules supplied by Alcatel-Lucent, but also on the ones derived from their own optimization experience. Whenever a QoS indicator reaches its alert threshold, NPO offers the diagnosis feature to the optimizer, in order to find out the possible cause of the QoS degradation. For more information about the diagnosis scenario creation and diagnosis editor, refer to the NPO Diagnosis Development Guide. For more information about the diagnosis scenario execution and scheduling, refer to Diagnosis in the NPO User Guide.

2.9 Favorites
Favorites provide a shortcut to select the indicator or report (similar to the best of in RNO). Each operator can save favorites. For more information, refer to Favorites in the NPO User Guide.

2.10 Post-Its (Comments)

This feature allows the operator to add comments on network object and functions. Comments are shared between operators. For more information, refer to Post-Its in the NPO User Guide.

2.12 Tuning
After a network optimization session is completed, a radio parameter tuning is performed using NPO. This is done in order to correct network misbehavior and uses monitoring, checking and diagnosis functions. The NPO user can prepare radio resource configuration modifications, frequency changes and neighborhood modification and apply them through the managed OMC-Rs. For more information, refer to Tuning in the NPO User Guide.

2.13 Cartography
The cartography feature allows the geographical display of cells, adjacency and of other objects ( BSC, etc.) rasters and vector maps with the same coordinate system, computed maps and network objects. The coordinates can be imported from RNP data, operational data or data entered by the operator. Thematic layers allow the user to visualize QoS information on the geographical representation. Its purpose is to color parts of the geographical representation, according to user requests on the QoS indicators, parameter values, analysis results, etc. The adjacencies analysis functionality, by the means of graphic tools, enable you to view existing and forecasted adjacency additions and deletions for a cell, and decide whether you want to add the forecast to a tuning session. For more information, refer to Cartography in the NPO User Guide.

2.14 Log Visualization

The log visualization feature offers the basic features for handling the generated logs: viewing, filtering/sorting, importing/exporting, saving and purging. For more information, refer to Manage Log Files in the 9953 MP/NPO Platform Administration Guide.

2.15 Export Interfaces

NPO offers a public web interface called EQL, used to retrieve data through external tools such as web-browsers (Mozilla, Internet Explorer) or web-enabled applications (Excel for instance). This can be done by executing queries or report requests. For more information on how to execute data query, execute report request, execute dynamic Excel page, and on global parameter export, refer to Export Interfaces in the NPO Export Interface.

2.16 Alerters
Alerters are defined to detect QoS problems and generate QoS alarms in the OMC-R, on the basis of reported Performance Measurement data. They are calculated from counters/indicators. For more information, refer to Alerters in the NPO User Guide.

in to the Client application. Check that the 9953 MP iconbox opens and the applications can be opened from the iconbox.

2.20 Google Earth Export

The cartography information can be exported in order to be displayed in Google Earth through the KML interface. The KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML grammar and file format for modeling and storing geographic features such as points, lines, images and polygons for display in Google Earth. For more information, refer to Google Earth Export in the NPO User Guide.

2.21 Web Publishing

This feature enables the light client to display computed views and reports in a web browser, accessible from any PC with a web browser, without having to install the Analysis Desktop. Each published view/report is stored in a web file repository in its existing XML format. For more information, refer to Web Publishing in the NPO User Guide.
