1Operation Safety
This chapter describes the precautions, such as scheduled test and system upgrade, that
are related to equipment performance.

1.1On-site Operation Descriptions


1.

The On-site Data Modification Guide should be strictly followed. For any data
modification, it is necessary to fill in the On-site Data Modification Record
Form as per the requirements and return it to the Technical Support Office of
Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation.

2.

Data modification operations permitted on-site include using the OMCR (V2)
radio resource management interface to adjust radio parameters, and using the
software loading interface for storing the software in the database and software
loading. The On-site Data Modification Record Form can be returned to
Technical Support Office of Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation after
the operation.

3.

For the special limitations of the current version and the stable running of the
equipment, it is necessary notify the Technical Support Office of Mobile
Business Division of ZTE Corporation in written form and get the signing
confirmation of the BSS (V2) project manager of the Technical Support Office
of Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation before any data
modification.(for example, use the MMI commands to modify any configuration
of BSC).

4.

It is suggested to obtain the permission of the relevant management personnel of


the Technical Support Office of Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation
before using software program PCanywhere.

5.

Make sure that the foreground and background data is consistent and the ZDB
file is not modified.

6.

It is forbidden to read foreground files such as PRINT, ERR, and LOG at busy
hours in the day or at night.
1

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

7.

It is suggested to avoid using probes.

8.

Forbid applying the testing programs such as PPTEST in the day.

9.

It is forbidden to upgrading the version such as PPTEST in the daytime.

10. On-site personnel must use an independent user name to perform operations,
modify the ROOT right and give the right to the control of the project manager.
11. On the BSS equipment with users, the data synchronization can only be
performed during the period from 23:00 pm to 4:00 am.
12. ZDBCHK is required for data check before importing ZDB data into the
foreground.
13. Conduct the validity check after modifying radio parameters.
14. It is required to export the data out of the foreground ZDB after each
modification and use ZDBCHK to check it.

1.2Usage Guide to On-site Version Functions


1.

At present, the downlink power control function cannot be enabled (if it is


necessary to enable this function after the OMU version uses 1.60.04a, a written
application must be presented and approved before it can be performed.)

2.

The directed retry and queue functions are enabled after the network planning
personnel propose the corresponding scheme according to the network operation
requirements.

3.

Never enable the BCCH (Broadcast Channel) switching function and the
SDCCH dynamic allocation function without grant. Apply to Technical Support
Office of Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation in written form and get
its approval before enabling these functions.

4.

If it is necessary to enable the MP periodic switching function, a written


application must be presented to the Technical Support Office of Mobile
Business Division of ZTE Corporation.

5.

It is forbidden to use the flow control based on mobile phone priority.

6.

It is forbidden to use the project switch. It is necessary to apply to the Technical


Support Office of Mobile Business Division of ZTE Corporation in advance for
approval.

Chapter 1 Operation Safety

7.

It is forbidden to enable the frequency hopping function without written


application in advance.

2Configuration Management
This chapter introduces the configuration flow, logic structure of configuration data and
how to make the simplest data configuration. It describes in detail the advanced data
configuration, including how to configure different sites, external cells, relative cells,
frequency hopping, EasyWay, sub-multiplexing, CBC, O&M LAPD, power-down
bypass and GPRS data and how to configure data. It also describes how to configure
the software version via software loading and how to configure blocking/unblocking
operations via dynamic data management.

2.1Overview
The integrated configuration management is used for initial configuration and for
modification to the configuration data. It establishes for the user a flow that enables the
operation & maintenance personnel to conduct the data configuration easily via the
Wizard, and provides the user with a good graphical user interface based on the flow
for the convenient data configuration of the user.
The integrated configuration management provides the physical, radio and software
configurations. The user can only use this tool to modify the physical configuration.
For modification to the radio configuration, the radio resource management can be
used; for modification to the software configuration, the software loading can be used;
for blocking and unblocking of time slots, the dynamic data management can be used.
The integrated configuration management does not provide adjustment of detailed
radio parameters and configuration of software parameters.
The general process of data configuration is as follows: Use the integrated
configuration management to configure physical and basic radio parameters; use the
radio resource management to adjust detailed radio parameters; use the software
loading to configure the foreground software version; use the dynamic data
management to block and unblock time slots in network debugging.
The handling flow of the integrated configuration management is as follows: Read the
data in the database to the client first and send the result to the server for resolution
after the user edits the data via the Wizard. Upon successful resolution, the
1

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

configuration command set is generated and returned to the client for execution.

Note:
When the integrated configuration management is used for a large amount of data
configuration, it is better that one user performs operations at a time to avoid data
configuration conflict.
The configuration commands generated by the integrated configuration management
must be executed at the client. Two execution modes are available: Execution one by
one and batch execution. With slow execution speed and without rollback after an error
occurs, the first mode may easily lead to data inconsistency. So batch execution is
usually recommended. If the number of generated commands exceeds 6000 and are
sent in big transaction mode, it is recommended that the user split the command file
and send it in segments, to avoid timeout and rollback of big transactions.

2.2BSC Data Configuration (Basic Part)


2.2.1Configuration Flow
Before the configuration, first check the configuration of syscfg.ini file in the
background server. If there is the -DEBUG parameter, the configuration commands
are sent to the background database instead of being sent to the foreground; otherwise,
they are sent to the foreground. At this time, the status of the link with the foreground
should be ensured normal.
1.

Initial configuration
The configuration of MSC and BSC by using the integrated configuration
management is called initial configuration. The workfolw is shown in Fig. 2.2-1.

69

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

generates the remote sub-multiplexing shelf and the default boards, as shown in
Fig. 2.3-94.

Fig. 2.3-94 Remote Sub-multiplexing Shelf

A remote sub-multiplexing shelf can manage a rack by itself, this rack can only
be configured with the [ZXG10_BATC] shelf. The FSPP board has 8 HWs to
connect the BATC shelf, so at most 4 BATC shelves can be configured. When a
BATC is added, the system allocates the HWs from the least to the greatest, and
the user can modify the HWs on TCPP on the remote BATC. But different HWs
correspond to different TIC (Trunk Interface Circuit) slots on the FM shelf. If
the configuration is wrong, the system will give a prompt.
After the FM shelf is configured, the user selects the [TIC] board on it, rightclick and select [Add Board] to pop up the interface shown in Fig. 2.3-95.
Configure the PCM, select the near TIC connected and associate the remote TIC
with the near TIC in the NM shelf.

Chapter 2 Configuration Management

[Precautions]
The data validity check performed by the integrated configuration management during
the configuration of the remote sub-multiplexing rack:
1.

Slots 12 and 13 for the TIC in the FM shelf must be configured, which is the
basic conditions for normal operation of the rack.

2.

The No. of the rack with the remote FM ranges from 1 to 16, and other rack
Nos. range from 1 to 6.

3.

The TIC board in the FM shelf should correspond to the TIC board on the NM
shelf.

4.

Judge whether the HW allocation of the NSPP board matches the number of
PCMs.

5.

If the remote rack is only configured with an FM shelf and the connected BATC
does not exist, the following phenomenon will appear: the TIC in the FM is
configured to connect to the TIC in NM. But after the command is executed
successfully, no connection relationship exists in the reversed script. The reason
is that BATC is not configured. This case is normal, and the user can continue to
complete the configuration.

6.

It is recommended that an NM shelf correspond to an FM shelf.

2.3.15Configuring the Super Large Size Cell


[Objective]
This section introduces how to configure the extended cell.
In the GSM protocol, the maximum access diameter of the GSM900 system is 35km.
To enable the common GSM mobile phone to conduct normal conversation within the
range of over 35km, the ZXG10-BSS (V2) uses the related technology, implementing
the function of extended cell.
A simple implementing method is: Complete the function of one channel using two
time slots. In this way, the coverage range of the cell can be guaranteed from 0km to
120km in the radio mode to satisfy the requirements.
If the coverage area the GSM900 system has a diameter more than 35km, the access
burst received at the base station will span two time slots upon sending the channel
request by a mobile phone. Therefore, the control channel needs to use two physical
channels, that is two consecutive time slots.
The maximum value of the advanced time TA on the radio interface for MS should be
63. When the air delay value is larger than 63, the time for signals to arrive the base
station will span two time slots, therefore, the dedicated control channel also uses two
adjacent channels. In addition, the service channel of one user also needs two adjacent
physical channels in terms of the asynchronous handover.
[Preliminary setup]

2.5Loading the Software


The software loading provides upgrade and loading of the board software in the
ZXG10-BSC, ZXG10-BTSV1.0, ZXG10-BTSV1.0(A), ZXG10-BTSV2.0, ZXG10
BS21, ZXG10 BS30, ZXG10 BS30V1.2 and ZXG10-MB/EMB, making it unnecessary
to upgrade and load the software on site. It facilitates management of the GSM
equipment, provides the software version management function and has the concurrent
processing capability. Multiple boards can be loaded simultaneously, thus greatly
reducing the loading time and expedite the loading of boards.

2.5.1Overview of Software Loading Flow


The client software loading is a flow comprised of the operations such as selecting the
software version, storing the software into the database, setting general software
(including creation, modification and deletion), setting the software of a single board
(including creation, modification and deletion), loading general software, loading the
board software and querying the foreground running software.
Software loading flow is shown in Fig. 2.5-151.

Fig. 2.5-151 Software Loading Flow

1.

Select the software version


Select the software version according to different needs. The software version
information includes software ID and software version No.

2.

Storing software
111

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

The software must be stored first, and then it can be loaded. . When the software
is put into the database, the corresponding software should be saved under the
directory with the shared name "Version" on the OMCR (V2) server and copied
to the MP of the corresponding BSC module. The related version information is
written in the foreground and background databases.
3.

Set general software


Setting the general software is to create, delete or modify the software version
record of general software. After general software is set, the software loading
operation can be performed on the same type of software.

4.

Load general software


Notify the MP of loading general software to all boards running this software so
that all boards run this type of software, thus greatly improving the software
loading efficiency. To enhance the speed in software loading, the files stored on
the MP will be used in priority during the loading of the BSC board, BTS and
MB equipment. Only when the MP does not contain the required files, will the
files be requested from the background server.
After version updating, if the new version can not correctly started or has serious
faults due to some reasons, the system might break down. Therefore, the old
version should be saved before updating the version. When the above situation
occurs, use the old version to restore the system.

5.

Set the board software.


Setting the board software is to create, modify or delete the board software
version of a destination board. This record is the foundation for loading the
software of a single board.

6.

Load the board software.


Notify the MP of loading the set board software to a specified destination board
so that this software is run. The board software has a higher priority than general
software. When the board has been loaded with general software, if the board
software is loaded, the board will run the loaded board software.
After the board software is loaded, if it is necessary to run the type of software
loaded before, just delete the board software of this board.

7.

some operations. When the interface operation is performed, the relevant MML
command will be displayed in the command box. It is necessary to point out,
except the multiplexing command, only the command related to the software
loading can be input in the software loading application window.

2.5.2Selecting the Software Version


The version information includes software ID and software version. Use the tool such
as UltraEdit to edit the hexadecimal software file. Open a software file to be stored in
the database, and the final part of the file is the software version information, as shown
in Fig. 2.5-153.

Fig. 2.5-153 Software Version Information

114

Chapter 2 Configuration Management

BSC_BOSN in the file is software ID, and 02.50.01.05 is the software version. When
the software is stored in the database, its version information can also be known from
the interface (see Fig. 2.5-157).
2.5.2.1Software ID
The software ID is used to indicate the software usage, defined in prefix_usage
mode. The prefix includes BSC and BTS, indicating whether this software belongs to

2.5.2.2Software Version
The software version is formed by four fields, and each field contains two digitals,
appeared as HH.VV.FF.XX.
Meanings of each field are as follows:
1.

HH: A number related to the hardware platform, ranging from 00 to 99. For
certain software, the HH value will keep constant unless the software is
modified due to the modification of the hardware platform on which it is
running.

2.

VV: The version number independent of the hardware platform, ranging from 00
to 99. The value of VV defines main functions of the software. If there is
structural adjustment in software, VV should be updated.

3.

FF: The version number independent of the hardware platform, ranging from 00
to 99.FF value defines the local functional features of the software, if they are
added or modified, FF will be upgraded.

4.

XX: The version number independent of the hardware platform, ranging from 00
to 99. If the software itself remains unchanged both structurally and
functionally, and only some errors and BUGs are corrected, XX should be
upgraded.

5.

In the interface for storing the software in the database (as shown in Fig.2.5-7),
HH.VV.FF is displayed in the left of the corresponding version No. box in the
interface, and XX is displayed in the right of the version No. box. The meaning
of XX is indicated by letters. For example, XX indicates a when assuming
00, XX indicates b when assuming 01,XX indicates z when
assuming 25, XX indicates A when assuming 26, XX indicates Z
when assuming 51, XX indicates formal version when assuming 99. The
numbers from 52 to 98 are undefined.
For example, the software version of the BOSN is 02.50.01.05 as shown in
Fig. 2.5-153, but the software version No. shown on the interface is 02.50.01f,
as shown in Fig.2.5-7.

2.5.11Handling of FAQ in Software Loading


The software loading is a complex task that involves the database operation, the
communication between the foreground and the background, and the version
management; it is required the excessive cooperation, thus, it can be brought into play
normally. Below are the problems easily occurred in the software loading:
1.

Unable to create or find files


The operations of software storing and loading are performed in a specified path
on the server. The specified path is designated by the client. A file directory
(usually tmp/ftp/version) needs to be created in advance during the
commissioning. If the version directory does not exist, all operations of software
storing cannot be completed, and the directory shall be created manually.
Sometimes, if the program is aborted abnormally (e.g., sudden power failure,
and restart), there is no time to close the files opened, some errors (e.g., files
cannot be created or some files cannot be deleted) may occur. At the time, you
can first get rid off the share from the relevant directory on the server, then, set it
as the share again.

2.

No response from the foreground or too many communication errors


Software loading needs to be implemented with the cooperation of both the
foreground and the background. Sometimes if the corresponding process in the
foreground has not been started or has errors, or a certain board is not plugged
firmly, or the power has not been turned on, it will be possible that the
foreground gives no response to the background messages. Another common
reason for this error is that the equipment data have not been configured
properly, i.e., the data in the database do not conform to the actual equipment in
the rack.

3.

The software loading failed again and again


The most possibility is in the board software itself that is unable to run normally,
or in the hardware failure. In this case, try other versions.

4.

An error message of Version ID or version No. is inconsistent with files is


displayed during the storing

146

Chapter 2 Configuration Management

To avoid loading a wrong version, the corresponding identification information


is also added to the version files, and this information will be checked during
storing or initializing version settings. If the files to be stored are inconsistent
with the inputted version ID or the version No., this error message will appear.
So this problem may be eliminated by entering the correct version information
and using the right version files.
5.

Data synchronization failure during software loading or storing


In this case, first check whether the communication link with MP is through. If it
is, then it is possible that the master MP is synchronizing data to the slave MP.
You need to wait for a while before performing operations.

2.6Dynamic Data Management


2.6.1Overview
The dynamic data management is to provide the function of dynamically managing
terrestrial and radio resources at the ZXG10-OMCR(V2) client to realize the dynamic
management of the terrestrial and radio resources statuses, including query, blocking,
unblocking, activation, deactivation, circuit installation, circuit uninstallation, reset,
channel statistics, functions related to FUC control and the operations related to GPRS
such as BVC blocking, BVC unblocking, BVC reset, BVC signaling reset and BVC
status query. Because most dynamic data management directly communicates with the
foreground, the background server needs to communicate well with the foreground.

2.6.2Querying the Dynamic Properties of the BSC

148

Chapter 2 Configuration Management

Fig. 2.6-178 Watch the Dynamic Properties of All Items

The dynamic properties include management status, operation status, use status
and tracing status. The management status indicates the blocking/unblocking
status of the resources, the operation status indicates the enabling/disabling
status of the resources, the use status indicates whether the resources are usable,
and the tracing status indicates the dynamic observance of the resources.

2.6.19Troubleshooting Dynamic Data Management


The dynamic data management is a multi-aspect and multi-module complex task that
involves the database operation, the background MO operation, the communication
between the foreground and the background, and the foreground operation. It needs the
cooperation between many aspects to operate normally. The following problems are
easily seen during the dynamic data management:
1.

The dynamic data management serves to manage the terrestrial and radio
resources with dynamic properties. Any resource without the dynamic property
will not be embodied in the dynamic management interface.

2.

The dynamic data management serves to modify the state of terrestrial and radio
resources with dynamic properties at the foreground, so the operation must be
initiated to the foreground. The communication between the foreground and
background must be ensured normal.

3.

The operation of the dynamic data management will affect the state of terrestrial
and radio resources, so it will affect the conversation. Be careful when using it.

4.

The foreground environment has a big effect on the operation of dynamic data
management. Any error of the foreground operation will possibly be embodied
by operation failure of the dynamic data management.

179

3Fault Management
This chapter describes display and management of alarm, trunk node alarm
management, BSC environment alarm management and alarm rule management, manmachine operations of boards and test management.

3.1Overview
The fault management is to provide the management functions such as detection, report
and handling for the abnormalities of a telecom network and its environment. Its
functions are realized through fault alarm and fault diagnosis. The fault management is
also a main management function of the Telecom Network Management (TMN). It
provides the following management services specified in M.3400:
1.

Creation quality assurance.

2.

Alarm detection

3.

Fault location

4.

Troubleshooting.

5.

Test

6.

Fault (report) management.

The foremost objective of the fault management is to restore services in case of failure.
The second objective is to find out the root of each fault, including the minimum
repairable network part in the fault. The third objective is to recover the fault in a
timely and effective way, and automatically isolate it before recovery to minimize its
affection. In general, the fault management course includes the following three steps:
1.

Find the fault

2.

Analyze the fault cause.

3.

Remove the fault if possible.

The main features of the fault management include:

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

Real-time: Monitor the states and changes of NEs in the whole system and report any
abnormality in time.
Accurate: Report abnormalities accurately without any alarm unreported or any false
alarm.
Automatic: The system has the function of processing faults in somewhat intelligent
and automatic mode. Besides the mode in which an operator gives the fault handling
command, the system has partial capabilities of automatic control, such as automatic
fault isolation, prevention of faults from diffusing, starting of backup resource and
automatic recovery.
The fault management includes alarm management and test management.

Chapter 3 Fault Management

3.2Display and Management of Alarm


The display and management of alarm is to perform the operations on the alarm

3.5BSC Alarm Rule Management


3.5.1Overview
Alarm rules include alarm filtering rule, alarm reclassification rule and alarm
correlation rule. The alarm rule management is responsible for providing such
operations as the query, addition, deletion, modification, enabling and disabling of
alarm rules (filtering rule, reclassification rule and correlation processing rule).
The alarm filtering rule permits the user to filter alarms or automatically acknowledge
them. In this way, some unimportant or uninterested alarms can be filtered so that the
real important alarms can be discovered in time.
The alarm reclassification rule is to emphasize or weaken some MO or class 1 alarms
(alarm codes). Affected by the factors such as the equipment use time and the specific
network condition, the alarms vary in their effects on the network operation. The alarm
reclassification permits the user to redefine the alarm classes.
The alarm correlation is to find the correlation between alarms to find the real fault
source. Usually, there are many alarms in the whole network and in practice, a fault
often results in multiple alarms in time and space. For example, in the case of link
interruption, the equipment at both ends of the link will generate a communication fault
alarm, but only one fault is presented before users, thus greatly reducing the operators
labor intensity.
The processing sequence of filtering, reclassification and correlation of the alarm is:
first the filtering, then reclassification and finally correlation.
Alarm correlation processing, in combination with alarm filtering, can be used to
effectively decrease the number of alarms presented before users and find out the
fundamental cause of a fault conveniently.

3.5.2Filtering Rule Management


The filtering principle management includes: creation, modification and deletion of the
filtering rule.
The alarm filtering enables users to set an alarm as not being displayed in the alarm
real-time observation interface or not being written to an alarm database. The filtering

63

ZXG10-BSS (V2) Base Station Subsystem Operation Manual

conditions may be the filtering of a specific MO (a logic entity or physical entity), that
of some alarm classes and that of some type of alarms.
3.5.2.1Creating a Filtering Rule
[Objective]
Create an alarm filtering rule. For example, create the rule to filter the alarms of cell 1
with the alarm code being 123 and suppress the alarms meeting the condition.
[Preliminary setup]
Ensure that the whole system is running normally and the BSC is normally connected
with the OMCR.
[Required steps]
1.

Start the client interface for alarm management.

2.

Enter the alarm filtering rule setting interface.

3.

Enter the dialog box for filtering rule creation.

4.

First select the object on which the filtering rule is acted.

5.

5.

Select the filtering rule mode, filtering method and others.


Then, select a filtering rule mode. There are three modes: object, object + alarm
code and object + alarm class. If object + alarm code is selected, an alarm code
shall be selected in the [Alarm Code] box; if object + alarm class is selected, an
alarm class shall be selected.
Then, select a filtering mode. The alarm filtering is divided into database
filtering and display filtering. The database filtering indicates the alarm will be
discarded completely, which means that neither is it stored into the database nor
is it processed. The display filtering is only to prevent the alarms from being
shown in the alarm list. Users can view the alarm information by query if
necessary.
If the display filtering mode is selected, the acknowledgment mode should also
be selected. The alarm acknowledgment is to mark that this alarm information
has been read. The acknowledgment modes include Unacknowledge,
Acknowledge and Clear acknowledgment. An acknowledgment mode can
66

Chapter 3 Fault Management

be selected based on the importance of display filtering alarm. An alarm after


display filtering still can be queried and viewed. Unacknowledged filtering
alarm is in the unacknowledged status in query. It can be manually
acknowledged by the users. Therefore, users can easily detect the occurrence of
the alarm in query, which can be used for important filtering alarm.
Acknowledge means that the system acknowledges the receipt after receiving
the alarm, which can be used in unimportant filtering alarm. Clear
acknowledgment means that the system acknowledges the clearance
automatically after the alarm is recovered, which can be used in rather important
filtering alarm.
Finally select a rule status. The rule status includes active and inactive, and only
those rules in active status can be applied.

3.8Test Management
The test management is responsible for the scheduled and instant tests of the Base
Station Subsystem (BSS) and ensures that the whole system runs normally and stably.
In daily maintenance, the test management can test the physical equipment and
communication links through the scheduled test to discover the hidden dangers in time
before the faults occur and adopt suitable measures to prevent the faults from
occurring. When the fault occurs, the test management can use the instant test to help
engineering personnel find out the fault cause as early as possible, locate the fault and
remove the fault as soon as possible. After the troubleshooting, the engineering
personnel can use the test management to test whether the physical equipment and the
system have recovered to normal and ensure that the whole system runs normally and
stably.
The test management includes testing the munits of the BSC, the boards under the unit
and the communication links between the central module MP and the peripheral
module MP and between MP and the main control units of munits, and loops (E1 lines)
between the BSC and the BTS.
The test management provides users with the functions such as scheduled test items,
test interval, test time, pause scheduled test, start scheduled test, delete scheduled test,
create instant test and query and deletion of test results.
