1 Install and Start the Terminal


This chapter tells you how to install the terminal hardware and software and then start it. It describes the terminal and its requirements.

1.1 Terminal Description


The BTS terminal is a PC connected to a BTS and running terminal software for accessing BTS O&M functions. For more information about the BTS, refer to the BTS Functional Description and the Evolium BTS A9100/A9110/A9110-E Functional Description. You can use the BTS terminal to: Initiate actions in the BTS and view reports associated with these actions Observe system behavior Perform local management functions such as monitoring alarms, events, and states.

1.1.1 Hardware Requirements


The following table shows the hardware requirements for the BTS terminal. Hardware Description Processor RAM Hard disk

Characteristics (minimum) Pentium II, III, 266 MHz 128 MBytes At least 60 MBytes free for program and data storage (except software environment). One drive 3 1/2", 1.4 MByte yes 1x serial interface + 1x PS/2 or 2x serial interface SVGA with 1024x768 pixel resolution SVGA Serial mouse or PS/2 mouse.

Diskette drive CD-ROM drive Interfaces Video adapter Monitor Mouse

The BTS terminal is connected to the BTS via an RS-232 asynchronous link cable. This cable is different for each type of BTS to be connected.

1.1.2 Software Requirements


The BTS terminal requires the following software: Windows 2000 or Windows XP BTS Terminal application software.

1.1.3 Communications Protocol


Data exchange between the PC and the BTS uses an RS-232 link and an Alcatel proprietary local protocol. If a transmission failure in either direction is detected, a retransmission is attempted automatically. If the transmission is unsuccessful after three attempts, the terminal software informs you that the interface is malfunctioning. If transmission is unsuccessful: Verify that the BTS terminal is not in standalone mode. A Check that the cable is connected correctly between the terminal and the BTS a Restart the BTS terminal software.

1.2 Install the Terminal


You do not need to connect the BTS terminal to the BTS before installing the terminal software. However, once it is physically connected, you have to run the terminal software and execute Connect to initialize the link.

Prerequisite

The user must have administrator rights for the terminal PC. To install the BTS terminal: 1. Connect the RS-232 asynchronous link cable from the COM1 port on the terminal PC to the MMI port on the BTS. The terminal software also supports COM2, COM3, or COM4. . 2. Insert the first BTS Terminal Installation diskette or the CD-ROM, if available. 3. Installation of the BTS Terminal software from diskettes or CD-ROM is different: If installing from... Diskettes Then... Select Run from the Windows Start menu and enter the following command (assuming the diskette drive is A): A:\setup.exe Select Run from the Windows Start menu and enter the following command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D): D:\BSSTOOLS\BTSW\AV01A\ setup.exe *) *) BSSTOOLS\BTSW\AV01A path is an example and can be different because it depends on software version and kind of installation on the CD-ROM. A CD-ROM available as one file BTSW *.* (e.g., BTSW AV01.exe) Copy the file to the hard disk. Run the file to generate the subdirectories disk1 to disk 3. Run setup.exe on the subdirectory disk1 to start the installation process.

A CD-ROM subdivided into disk1 to disk3

The BTS Terminal Welcome window is displayed. 4. Follow the procedure on screen.

1.3 Start the Terminal Software


Note: There are two different customer privilege levels: Level 2 and Level 3.
The Level 2 user/group name and password allows you to perform all the tasks described in this handbook. Functionally, the Level 3 user/group name and password is identical to Level 2. But in case of discrepancies between the BTS release and the BTS terminal release, Level 3 users (but not Level 2 users) can download the terminal software. The current default user/group name and password are handed over by Alcatel support personnel. To start the BTS terminal software: 1. Click on the Start menu item and follow the path: Start Programs release Bxx BTS-Terminal release Bxx BTS-Terminal

The User Login window is displayed, as shown in the following figure.

The window indicates the BTS terminal software version this guide is based on. You have 60 seconds to log on before the program terminates automatically. A countdown timer is displayed in the bottom right corner of the window. 2. Enter your user name or group name in the User/Group Name field in the User Login window. 3. Enter your log file name in the Your log file is field. If there is no entry, the log file name will be the user name or group name entered in the User/Group Name field. 4. Enter your password. 5.

or click on to connect the terminal to the BTS. The terminal is connected to the BTS and the transferred messages are shown in the Log File window, as shown in the following figure. (The Log File window is a child of the BTS Terminal application.) The BTS Log File window displays a new set of menus and shows a log file listing. This log file listing is automatically updated if the TRACK field is activated (indicated by a checkmark (X)). If you click on the checkmark or on TRACK the field is deactivated and the log file listing is no longer updated. The log file is opened when the terminal is connected to the BTS.

Note: The capacity of a log file is 64 KByte. If a log file exceeds this range, a second
(third, fourth, etc.) log file is created automatically. The log file extension LOG is changed to 000, 001, 002, etc. If this log file has to be used for report purpose, all extensions have to be taken into account.

Modify Qmux Addressing


Modifying the Qmux Address assigns a logical reference number to the address of the SUM board. The reference number is used by other Qmux entities to locate the SUM board. It must not conflict with the logical addressing of other Qmux boards in the system.

Modify Qmux Baud Rate


Modifying the Qmux Baud Rate (data transfer rate in bits per second) changes the data transfer rate on the Qmux Bus. The transmission rate can be set to 1200 or 2400 Baud, as required.

Modify the SUM Environment Settings


Modifying the SUM Environment settings defines the transmission configuration of which the SUM board is an element. Chain end position Chain middle position

Modify the Clock Reference


The Clock reference can be either internal (free-running) or external (Abis synchronized).

Check Cyclic Redundancy


The CRC window allows Cyclic Redundancy to be toggled On/Off. CRC improves data integrity and bit error observation of Abis traffic to and from the SUM Board.

Select Line Impedance


The line impedance can be selected for Abis 1 or Abis 2. If Abis is patched through BNC connector then select Line Impedance 75 Ohms. If Abis patched through Tag Block ( DDF Panel ) then select Line Impedance 120 Ohms.

Modify Abis Time Slot Mapping


Modifying the Abis Mapping changes the time slot in which the data transmission occurs. The following number of time slots can be mapped: 32 time slots per interface, labeled 1 to 31 (0 (zero) is not allowed).

Modify Qmux Nibble Value


Each time slot contains 4 nibbles of 2 bits, i.e., 8 bits in total. As the Qmux does not require an entire time slot, the Nibble value indicates the location of the Qmux transmission in time slot (0 to 3) specified in the Qmux Abis Mapping dialog box.

Modify Abis Mapping


Abis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs and their signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for each TRE in the order of selection. For instance if TRE 1 and TRE 4 are selected, then time slots 1, 2 are allocated to TRE1 and time slots 4, 5 to TRE 4 (time slot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocated TCHs and time slots, as required. The current configuration can be displayed, by clicking on [ Get Config ].

Note:

If Abis Mapping data is not provided by the service provider than Un-Check all TREs.
