Organization
1 Changes in eNodeB Commissioning Guide

This chapter describes the changes in eNodeB Commissioning Guide.

2 Commissioning Mode

The eNodeB supports the following commissioning modes: PnP remote commissioning, local
commissioning using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, and local commissioning on the
LMT. Each commissioning mode can be applied to the scenario where the SeGW is deployed
and the scenario where no SeGW is deployed. In the security scenario, PnP remote
commissioning is classified into PnP remote commissioning in unified encryption mode and
PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode; local commissioning using a USB
flash drive is classified into local commissioning using a USB flash drive in unified encryption
mode and local commissioning using a USB flash drive in differentiated encryption mode. You
can select a commissioning mode based on site conditions. PnP remote commissioning is
recommended.

3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (Without the SeGW)

This chapter describes the following procedures when no security gateway (SeGW) is deployed:
eNodeB automatic discovery, plug and play (PnP) remote commissioning, local commissioning
using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, and local commissioning on the LMT.

4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

This chapter describes the following procedures when the SeGW is deployed in the network:
eNodeB automatic discovery, PnP remote commissioning in unified encryption mode, PnP
remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode, local commissioning using a USB
flash drive in unified encryption mode, local commissioning using a USB flash drive in
differentiated encryption mode, and local commissioning on the LMT.

5 Appendix

This chapter describes how to encrypt files in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) storage device and
provides the eNodeB commissioning data sheet.

6 FAQ

This chapter describes some common problems and solutions during commissioning.

Commissioning Guide 2 Commissioning Mode

2 Commissioning Mode

The eNodeB supports the following commissioning modes: PnP remote commissioning, local
commissioning using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, and local commissioning on the
LMT. Each commissioning mode can be applied to the scenario where the SeGW is deployed
and the scenario where no SeGW is deployed. In the security scenario, PnP remote
commissioning is classified into PnP remote commissioning in unified encryption mode and
PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode; local commissioning using a USB
flash drive is classified into local commissioning using a USB flash drive in unified encryption
mode and local commissioning using a USB flash drive in differentiated encryption mode. You
can select a commissioning mode based on site conditions. PnP remote commissioning is
recommended.

Prerequisites
l Requirements for the device status and commissioning environment are described as
follows:
– All hardware devices and cables have been properly installed. For details, see related
installation guides, which can be obtained at http://support.huawei.com/.
– The eNodeB has passed a hardware check before power-on.
– Before remote commissioning on the M2000, you have installed the mediation software
matching the target version of the eNodeB to be commissioned on the M2000 server.
l Requirements for the network are described as follows:
The eNodeB is connected to the mobility management entity (MME) or serving gateway
(S-GW) in the evolved packet core (EPC), and the MME or S-GW is configured with the
interconnection data required for commissioning and can provide the basic functions of the
EPC.
l Requirements for data configuration are described as follows:

3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures


(Without the SeGW)

About This Chapter

This chapter describes the following procedures when no security gateway (SeGW) is deployed:
eNodeB automatic discovery, plug and play (PnP) remote commissioning, local commissioning
using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, and local commissioning on the LMT.

3.1 Overview of eNodeB Automatic Discovery (Without the SeGW)


During eNodeB commissioning, the eNodeB sets up an operation and maintenance (OM)
channel with the M2000 using automatic discovery. This process does not require manual
intervention.
3.2 PnP Remote Commissioning (Without the SeGW)
To commission an eNodeB when no SeGW is deployed in the network, you need to enable the
plug and play (PnP) function of the eNodeB on the M2000 client. After the faults (if any) occurred
during automatic commissioning are rectified and the commissioning procedure is complete,
the eNodeB can work properly.
3.3 Local Commissioning Using a USB Flash Drive (Without the SeGW)
To perform local eNodeB commissioning using a USB flash drive when no SeGW is deployed,
you need to upgrade the eNodeB software and data configuration files using a Universal Serial
Bus (USB) flash drive, and check the running status of indicators on the eNodeB. Then, create
an eNodeB commissioning task on the M2000.
3.4 Local Commissioning on the LMT(Without the SeGW)
To commission an eNodeB on local using a local maintenance terminal (LMT), you need to
upgrade the eNodeB software, download the configuration files, commission the antenna line
devices (ALDs), and check the running status of the eNodeB on the LMT. Then, establish the
operation and maintenance (O&M) channel between the eNodeB and the M2000 on the M2000
server.

Commissioning Guide 3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (Without the SeGW)

3.1 Overview of eNodeB Automatic Discovery (Without the


SeGW)
During eNodeB commissioning, the eNodeB sets up an operation and maintenance (OM)
channel with the M2000 using automatic discovery. This process does not require manual
intervention.

Introduction to the Automatic Discovery Process


Automatic discovery is a process during which the eNodeB is powered on and sets up an OM
channel with the M2000 after the hardware is installed.

If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are deployed on different network segments, you need to
configure the router closest to the eNodeB on the path between the eNodeB and the M2000
server as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay. The IP address of the DHCP
server for the M2000 is used as the DHCP relay address.
NOTE
If the M2000 server is deployed by using Server Load-Sharing (SLS), the previous IP address of the M2000
DHCP server refers to the IP address of the master M2000 server.

eNodeB Automatic Discovery Process


The eNodeB automatic discovery process varies according to the commissioning scenario.

eNodeB Automatic Discovery During PnP Remote Commissioning

Figure 3-1 shows the eNodeB automatic discovery process in this scenario. The process is as
follows:
1. The eNodeB performs power on self-test (POST).
2. The eNodeB learns virtual local area networks (VLANs) and obtains VLAN IDs (in VLAN
networking scenarios).
3. The eNodeB sends a DHCP request to the DHCP server provided by the M2000 to obtain
the information, such as OM IP address, OM IP mask, IP address of the M2000, and IP
mask of the M2000.
4. The eNodeB sets up an OM channel with the M2000 after receiving a response to the DHCP
request from the M2000.
5. The eNodeB downloads and activates the eNodeB software and configuration files from
the M2000.
NOTE

l When the M2000 server is deployed by using SLS, if you want to create an eNodeB on the master
server, the IP address of the M2000 refers to the IP address of the master server; if if you want to create
an eNodeB on the slave server, the IP address of the M2000 refers to the IP address of the slave server.
l Check DHCP message in the following ways:
l Log in to the LMT and create a PnP tracing task on the LMT. For details, see eNodeB LMT User
Guide.
l Log in to the M2000 client, choose Configuration > DHCP Configuration Management. The
DHCP Configuration Management tab page is displayed. In the Server Information area on
the DHCP Configuration Management tab page, check the DHCP message.

3.2.3 Creating an eNodeB Commissioning Task


This section describes how to create an eNodeB commissioning task on the M2000 client after
commissioning preparations are complete.

Prerequisites
l You have logged in to the M2000 client.
l eNodeB commissioning preparations are complete.
l If the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, radio network planning engineers need to plan the
area to which the eNodeB belongs.
l If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are located on different network segments, you need
to configure the router nearest to the eNodeB as the DHCP relay.
– In an insecure scenario, you need to set the DHCP relay IP address on the router to the
DHCP server IP address of the M2000. In a secure scenario, you need to set the DHCP
relay IP address on the router to the common DHCP server IP address and on the security
gateway, you need to set the IP address of the DHCP server to the DHCP server IP
address of the M2000.
– In situations where the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, the preceding DHCP server
IP address of the M2000 refers to the host IP address.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > Auto Deployment > NodeB Auto Deployment from the main menu
of the Configuration > Auto Deployment > eNodeB Auto Deployment client. The eNodeB
Auto Deployment window is displayed.

Commissioning Guide 3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (Without the SeGW)

3.3.3 Downloading and Activating the Software, Data


Configuration File, and License File Using a USB Flash Drive
The eNodeB automatically downloads the software, data configuration file and license file from
the USB flash drive. After the download is complete, the eNodeB automatically activates the
software, data configuration file, and the license file. Then, the eNodeB is reset.

Prerequisites
l A USB flash drive is ready. The required files are saved in the USB flash drive.
l The hardware such as remote radio units (RRUs) and LTE baseband processing units
(LBBPs) have been properly connected.

CAUTION
When you save the required files into the USB flash drive, ensure that the locking switch on the
USB flash drive is disabled. In other words, the USB flash drive must be writable.

Context
Before downloading files from a USB flash drive, the eNodeB verifies the names and formats
of the files.
Before downloading the software and data configuration file, the eNodeB automatically checks
the working mode of the RRU. Then, the eNodeB downloads and activates the corresponding
software and data configuration file based on the working mode of the RRU.
You must pay attention to the following points when you download and activate the software,
data configuration file, and license file using the USB flash drive:
l If the software and data configuration file in the USB flash drive are already activated, they
cannot be reactivated for the same eNodeB because of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
function. The CRC function can prevent the software and data configuration file from being
reactivated when the USB flash drive is always inserted into the eNodeB. The CRC function
can also prevent the eNodeB from being reset again after eNodeB deployment using the
USB flash drive.
l If the USB flash drive contains only the eNodeB software and data configuration file, the
eNodeB downloads and activates the eNodeB software, and then downloads and activates
the data configuration file.
l If the eNodeB software or data configuration file is missing in the USB flash drive, the
eNodeB performs the following steps:
– If the software is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the data configuration
file and license file except the software.
– If the data configuration file is missing, the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum
configuration of the target version and downloads and activates the license file except
the data configuration file.
– If the license file is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the software and data
configuration file except the license file.
l If the eNodeB software upgrade fails, the eNodeB will roll back to the source version.

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 68

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (Without the SeGW)

l Before downloading and activating the data configuration file, the eNodeB does not check
the compatibility between the data configuration file and the eNodeB software version. The
eNodeB performs the following activities:
– If the target software version is not the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software after the
software is upgraded and the eNodeB is reset. If the software is incompatible with the
data configuration file or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail,
the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum configuration of the target version.
– If the target software version is the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software without
upgrading the software. If the software is incompatible with the data configuration file
or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail, the eNodeB uses the
data configuration file of the source version.
l The eNodeB does not download or activate the eNodeB software, data configuration file,
or license file from the USB flash drive in any of the following cases:
– The eNodeB software and data configuration file or their saving paths do not exist in
the USB flash drive.
– The target software version is the same as the active software version. In this case, the
eNodeB software cannot be downloaded or activated, but the data configuration file and
license file can be downloaded and activated.
– The data configuration file is the same as the active data configuration. In this case, the
data configuration file cannot be downloaded or activated, but the software and license
file can be downloaded and activated.
– The license file cannot be downloaded, but the software and data configuration file can
be downloaded and activated in any of the following cases:
– The license file to be downloaded is not the commissioning license.
– The license file to be downloaded is the commissioning license, but the value of
ESN is not ANY.
– The configurations or the names of the license file to be downloaded and the active
license file are the same.

Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the eNodeB is powered on. If it is not powered on, power on the eNodeB. If it
is already powered on, go to Step 2.
NOTE
Ensure that the RRU is powered on and the common public radio interface (CPRI) connections are correct
before you power on the eNodeB. Check for faults by monitoring the CPRI indicator status on the LBBP
after the eNodeB is powered on. For details, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

Step 2 When the eNodeB operates properly, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the
BBU3900 main control board. If an LMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 3-15; if an
UMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 3-16.

Step 3 Wait for the eNodeB to automatically upgrade the software and data configuration file.

If the download or activation fails, commission the eNodeB by updating the software and data
configuration file in the USB flash drive or using a new USB flash drive.

If the download or activation still fails, perform the local eNodeB commissioning on the LMT.
When the software and data configuration file are being upgraded, the normal status of the
indicators on the USB flash drive and main control board is shown in Table 3-15. If the indicators
are abnormal, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

Follow-up Procedure

CAUTION
The eNodeB software package contains the LMT software. Before downloading the eNodeB
software package, pay attention to the following points:
l When the LMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory is limited, the LMPT
does not support download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. To
reduce the eNodeB deployment duration, some of the files of the LMT software are
automatically downloaded from the M2000 to the eNodeB four hours after the eNodeB
deployment. If you need to use the LMT complete package immediately after the eNodeB
deployment, run the SPL SOFTWARE command on the M2000 after the eNodeB is
connected to the M2000. Set Delay Download File Supply Flag to YES(Supply File that
Support Delay). The remaining files of LMT software are downloaded to the eNodeB. If
you want the LMPT to support download of the LMT complete package through the USB
flash drive, when preparing the files in the USB flash drive, configure the value of
WEBLMT from the default configuration files as YES (case-insensitive).
l When the UMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory increases. The UMPT
supports download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. Therefore,
an LMT package is not required after software activation.

3.3.4 Uploading Data Files


Upload data files that are required for procedures of eNodeB commissioning. Data files required
for procedures of eNodeB commissioning tasks are NE software versions, cold patches, hot
patches, configuration data files, deployment lists, RET antenna software versions and
configuration data files, RET antenna templates, and commissioning licenses.

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the M2000 client.

Context
You need to upload data files in the following scenarios:

l Prepare for the commissioning.


Upload the required data files to the M2000 server before commissioning as required.
l The commissioning cannot be started because certain required data files are unavailable.
The M2000 automatically checks whether data files required for customized procedures
are available. If certain data files are unavailable, the commissioning cannot be started.
Upload the required data files that are previously unavailable from the client to the
M2000 server.

The data files required for eNodeB commissioning need to be saved in specified paths on the
M2000 server. For details, see Table 3-16.

3.3.5 Creating an eNodeB Commissioning Task


This section describes how to create an eNodeB commissioning task on the M2000 client after
commissioning preparations are complete.

Prerequisites
l You have logged in to the M2000 client.
l eNodeB commissioning preparations are complete.
l If the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, radio network planning engineers need to plan the
area to which the eNodeB belongs.
l If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are located on different network segments, you need
to configure the router nearest to the eNodeB as the DHCP relay.
– In an insecure scenario, you need to set the DHCP relay IP address on the router to the
DHCP server IP address of the M2000. In a secure scenario, you need to set the DHCP
relay IP address on the router to the common DHCP server IP address and on the security
gateway, you need to set the IP address of the DHCP server to the DHCP server IP
address of the M2000.
– In situations where the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, the preceding DHCP server
IP address of the M2000 refers to the host IP address.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > Auto Deployment > NodeB Auto Deployment from the main menu
of the Configuration > Auto Deployment > eNodeB Auto Deployment client. The eNodeB
Auto Deployment window is displayed.

Step 2 Select deployment lists.

3. (Optional) Select the area to which an eNodeB belongs in the Sub-area area. This step is
mandatory when theM2000 is deployed in SLS mode.

NEs belong to different areas when they are managed by different M2000 servers. If the
M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, NEs are managed by different servers. On the CME client,
these NEs belong to different areas. Select the active or slave M2000 server that the NE
belongs to based on the planned data. Configure the data as follows:

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 3 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (Without the SeGW)

l If the NE was created on the active M2000 server, set the PEERIP parameter for the
OMCH to the IP address of the active M2000 server.
l If the NE was created on the slave M2000 server, set the PEERIP parameter for the
OMCH to the IP address of the slave M2000 server.
l Set the Destination IP parameter for the IP router from the NE to the M2000 server to
an IP address on the the network segment where the M2000 server is located.

NOTE
Onsite deployment engineers need to perform operations based on the areas that have been planned
for eNodeBs by radio network planning engineers.
l If eNodeBs belong to one area, import one deployment list to create eNodeBs in batches.
l If eNodeBs belong to different areas, import multiple deployment lists by area to create eNodeBs.
4. In NE Connection Mode, set a mode for connecting the M2000 and NEs.

Modes for connecting the M2000 and NEs are as follows:


l Common Connection: default connection mode.
l SSL Connection: If this mode is selected, you also need to set an authentication mode.
Authentication modes are Anonymous Authority and OSS Authentication NE, where
Anonymous Authority is the default authentication mode.
NOTE
To enable automatic SSL connection during NE deployment, you need to set the authentication mode
for NE in advance on the CME in addition to setting the connection mode between the M2000 and
NEs in this step.

Step 3 Click OK. The system starts the import.

After the import is complete, the M2000 checks for mandatory parameters with empty values
and invalid base station configuration data. In addition, the information indicating whether the
import succeeded or failed is displayed on the Operation Information tab page.

l If the import is successful, the M2000 automatically creates a commissioning task for each
eNodeB. The imported eNodeB deployment lists are displayed on the Deployment List tab
page.
l If the import fails, the causes of the failure are displayed on the Operation Information tab
page.

Step 4 (Optional) Modify data in the imported deployment lists as required. This step is mandatory
when you need to modify the data in the imported deployment lists.
NOTE
You can check whether the parameters in eNodeB deployment lists can be modified by referring to
Parameters for the eNodeB Deployment List.
1. Select a commissioning task from the commissioning task list, and double-click the cells
containing parameter values to change the values.

You can change ESNs by double-clicking the cells containing ESNs. Alternatively, you
can perform the following operations to change the ESNs:

a. Click in the ESN value cell. The Bind ESN dialog box is displayed.
b. Select an ESN that is not bound, and click OK to return to the Deployment
Parameter dialog box.

Performing eNodeB Antenna Fault Diagnosis


This section describes how to perform antenna fault diagnosis. The M2000 provides automatic
fault diagnosis to antennas. When errors occur during eNodeB commissioning, you can use the
automatic fault diagnosis function provided by the M2000 to check whether the eNodeB that is
being commissioned is faulty. Then, you can take corresponding measures to rectify the faults
based on the diagnosis results.

Prerequisites
l You have logged in to the M2000 client.
l Commissioning tasks are at the monitoring stage, and the completion of the commissioning
tasks has not yet been confirmed.

CAUTION
eNodeB services are interrupted upon antenna fault diagnosis. Therefore, you need to perform
the diagnosis when the eNodeB is not providing services or the services are isolated.

eNodeB fault diagnosis aims to check whether antennas are functioning normally. It involves
the VSWR test, offline intermodulation interference test, and crossed pair test.

After one fault diagnosis operation is performed, the M2000 creates a fault diagnosis task and
displays the diagnosis progress. After the fault diagnosis is complete, you can obtain the fault
diagnosis report.

If you delete a fault diagnosis task, the corresponding diagnosis report is deleted accordingly.
If you restart the M2000 server, all fault diagnosis tasks and reports are deleted.

Prerequisites
l The RRU or RFU is connected properly.
l The local maintenance terminal (LMT) or M2000 communicates properly with the eNodeB.
l You have logged in to the M2000 as administrator.

Context
The maximum output power of the RRU or RFU is specified by the local operator.

If an eNodeB is configured with multiple RRUs or RFUs, you must use MML commands to
manually reset RRUs or RFUs one by one. If RRUs or RFUs are cascaded, set the maximum
output power for the lowest-level RRU or RFU and then for other RRUs or RFUs to reduce the
impact on upper-level RRUs.

The maximum output power for the RRU or RFU needs to be set only if it is less than the
maximum output power that the RRU or RFU can physically achieve.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet No., subrack No., slot No., and transmit
channel No. of the RRU or RFU.

Step 2 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to query the maximum output power supported by the
RRU or RFU based on the information queried in Step 1.

Step 3 Run the LOC RRUTC command to set the maximum output power for the RRU or RFU.

Step 4 Run the RST BRD command to reset the RRU or RFU.

Step 5 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the setting of the maximum output
power for the RRU or RFU takes effect.

If... Then...

still fails to be set, contact Huawei for technical support.

NOTE
Before returning a used but not faulty RRU or RFU to the Spare Parts Center, run the LOC RRUTC
command to set the maximum output power (TXMAXPWR) to 0 and reset the RRU or RFU for the setting
to take effect.

About This Chapter

This chapter describes the following procedures when the SeGW is deployed in the network:
eNodeB automatic discovery, PnP remote commissioning in unified encryption mode, PnP
remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode, local commissioning using a USB
flash drive in unified encryption mode, local commissioning using a USB flash drive in
differentiated encryption mode, and local commissioning on the LMT.

Background Information
eNodeB service data can be processed in either unified encryption mode or differentiated
encryption mode. Figure 4-1 shows the networking in unified encryption mode, and Figure
4-2 shows the networking in differentiated encryption mode.

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

Figure 4-2 Networking in differentiated encryption mode

Generally, either unified encryption or differentiated encryption can be used for S1/X2/OM
channels, depending on the operator's requirements. However, differentiated encryption is
recommended if the data communication network (DCN) where the M2000 is located is directly
connected to the non-security domain in the transport network as shown in Figure 4-3. In other
words, the encryption mode to use mainly depends on the structure of the operator's transport
network.

Figure 4-3 A differentiated encryption example

When the SeGW is deployed in the network, the unified and differentiated encryption modes
have the following differences during eNodeB deployment:
l In unified encryption mode, the eNodeB and the M2000 belong to different domains, and
data must pass through the SeGW before traveling to the eNodeB or M2000. Therefore, to
communicate with the M2000, the eNodeB needs to set up an IPSec tunnel to the SeGW
first during the channel self-setup procedure in deployment by PnP or during routine OM.
l In differentiated encryption mode, the eNodeB and the M2000 belong to the same domain,
and data does not need to pass through the SeGW before traveling to the eNodeB or M2000.
Therefore, the OM channel can be a plaintext or SSL connection. During the channel self-
setup procedure in deployment by PnP, the eNodeB can directly send DHCP messages to
the DHCP server built in the M2000. Therefore, eNodeB deployment by PnP in
differentiated encryption mode can be performed in the same way as in non-secure
networking mode. For data configuration, the difference between the two encryption modes
only lies in IPSec configuration.
4.1 Overview of eNodeB Automatic Discovery (with the SeGW)
During eNodeB commissioning, the eNodeB sets up an operation and maintenance (OM)
channel with the M2000 using automatic discovery. This process does not require manual
intervention.

4.1 Overview of eNodeB Automatic Discovery (with the


SeGW)
During eNodeB commissioning, the eNodeB sets up an operation and maintenance (OM)
channel with the M2000 using automatic discovery. This process does not require manual
intervention.

eNodeB Automatic Discovery Process


Automatic discovery is a process during which the eNodeB is powered on and sets up an OM
channel with the M2000 after the hardware is installed.
If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are deployed on different network segments, you need to
configure the router closest to the eNodeB on the path between the eNodeB and the M2000
server as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay. If the SeGW is deployed in the
network, configure the IP address of the DHCP relay as the IP address of the public DHCP server
on the router and configure the IP address of the M2000 DHCP server as the IP address of the
DHCP server of the SeGW.
NOTE
If the M2000 server is deployed by using Server Load-Sharing (SLS), the previous IP address of the M2000
DHCP server refers to the IP address of the master M2000 server.

eNodeB Automatic Discovery Process


If the SeGW is deployed in the network, eNodeB data can be processed in unified encryption
mode or differentiated encryption mode, and eNodeB data can be authenticated using the public
key infrastructure (PKI)-based or Preshared Key (PSK)-based authentication mode. Therefore,
when the SeGW is deployed in the network, the eNodeB automatic discovery process involves
the following scenarios:
l Plug and play (PnP) remote commissioning in unified encryption mode (using PKI)
l Local commissioning using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive in unified encryption
mode (using PKI)
l Local commissioning using a USB in unified encryption mode (using PSK)
l PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode (using PKI)
l PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode (using PSK)
l Local commissioning using a USB flash drive in differentiated encryption mode (using
PKI)
l Local commissioning using a USB flash drive in differentiated encryption mode (using
PSK)
NOTE
When eNodeB data is processed in unified encryption mode, the eNodeB cannot obtain the preshared key
when establishing IPSec tunnels during transmission. As a result, the PSK authentication mode cannot be
used for eNodeB data authentication during PnP remote commissioning.

Mode (Using PKI)
Figure 4-4 shows the eNodeB automatic discovery process in this scenario. The process is as
follows:

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

1. The eNodeB performs power on self-test (POST).


2. Bind the eNodeB ID to the eNodeB using a bar code scanner to scan the bar code within
3 minutes after the eNodeB is powered on. If the M2000 binds the eNodeB using the
electronic serial number (ESN) or Global Positioning System (GPS) information, skip this
step.
3. The eNodeB initiates IEEE802.1X-based access control authentication.
4. The eNodeB scans VLANs to obtain VLAN IDs (in VLAN networking scenarios). Then,
the eNodeB sends a DHCP request to the public DHCP server to obtain the following
information: temporary OM IP address, temporary OM IP mask, IP address of the domain
name server (DNS, if DNS is configured on the public DHCP server), default gateway, IP
address of the Certification Authority (CA) server (if configured), IP address of the SeGW,
CA port number, CA name, and IP address of the M2000.
5. With the predefined Huawei device certificate, the eNodeB implements unidirectional
authentication together with the CA server (authenticates the validity of the eNodeB) based
on CMPv2 and automatically obtains the operator's device certificate and root certificate
from the CA server. If the operator's device certificate and root certificate have been
configured for the eNodeB, they do not need to be reobtained.
6. The eNodeB sets up a temporary Internet protocol security (IPSec) tunnel with the SeGW
after bidirectional security authentication is successfully performed using certificates.
7. The eNodeB sets up a temporary SSL-encrypted OM channel with the M2000 through the
IPSec tunnel.
8. The eNodeB downloads and activates the eNodeB software and configuration files from
the M2000 and automatically resets.
9. After resetting, the eNodeB sets up a formal IPSec tunnel with the SeGW so that the eNodeB
can set up a formal SSL-encrypted OM channel with the M2000 to start network operation.
NOTE

l When the M2000 server is deployed by using SLS, if you want to create an eNodeB on the master
server, the IP address of the M2000 refers to the IP address of the master server; if if you want to create
an eNodeB on the slave server, the IP address of the M2000 refers to the IP address of the slave server.
l If you want to check the DHCP message, log in to the LMT and create a PNP tracing task on the LMT.
For details, see eNodeB LMT User Guide.

follows:
1. Insert the commissioning USB flash drive into the USB port on the eNodeB.
2. The eNodeB performs POST.
3. The eNodeB reads and activates the eNodeB software and configuration files in the USB
flash drive, and then automatically resets.
4. After resetting, the eNodeB accesses the operator's network using physical connections. If
the eNodeB detects that the OMCH link is interrupted because there is no operator's device
certificate and root certificate, the eNodeB initiates IEEE802.1X-based access control
authentication (which is optional) and scans VLANs to obtain VLAN IDs (in VLAN
networking scenarios). Then, the eNodeB sends a DHCP request to the public DHCP server
to obtain the following information: temporary OM IP address, temporary OM IP mask,
IP address of the DNS (if DNS is configured on the public DHCP server), default gateway,
IP address of the CA server (if configured), IP address of the SeGW, CA port number, CA
name, and IP address of the M2000.
5. With the predefined Huawei device certificate, the eNodeB implements unidirectional
authentication together with the CA server (authenticates the validity of the eNodeB) based
on CMPv2 and automatically obtains the operator's device certificate and root certificate
from the CA server. If the operator's device certificate and root certificate have been
configured for the eNodeB, they do not need to be reobtained.
6. The eNodeB sets up an IPSec tunnel with the SeGW after bidirectional security
authentication is successfully performed using certificates.
7. The eNodeB sets up an SSL-encrypted OM channel to start network operation.

Figure 4-11 shows a typical commissioning network with the SeGW. The network where the
eNodeB is located is not in the same trusted domain as the network where the MME, SGW, and
M2000 are located. Therefore, the SeGW must be used for secure communication between the
eNodeB, MME, SGW, and M2000.

VLAN Acquisition
In VLAN networking, VLAN tags must be attached to packets sent by the eNodeB before the
eNodeB communicates with other equipment. After the eNodeB is powered on, it cannot send
a DHCP request or set up an OM channel with the M2000 because no VLAN ID is available.
Therefore, the eNodeB must scan VLANs to obtain VLAN IDs after power-on. The process of

Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

obtaining VLAN IDs is called VLAN acquisition, including VLAN detection and VLAN
scanning.
l VLAN detection: after an eNodeB is created on the M2000, the M2000 periodically sends
VLAN detection packets to the eNodeB. The VLAN detection packets are routed to a router
closest to the eNodeB. Then, the router sends Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcast
packets. After detecting the ARP packets, the eNodeB obtains VLAN IDs from the ARP
packets and then sends a DHCP request. VLAN IDs are obtained in this way in scenarios
without the SeGW.
l VLAN scanning: in scenarios with the SeGW, VLAN detection packets from the M2000
cannot be transmitted to the eNodeB because the SeGW does not initiate a connection to
the eNodeB. Therefore, the eNodeB cannot learn VLAN IDs. In this case, the eNodeB can
obtain VLAN IDs only by scanning VLANs. That is, before sending a DHCP request, the
eNodeB sends a DHCP Discovery message using a VLAN ID ranging from 0 to 4094. If
the public DHCP server receives the request message sent from the eNodeB, it sends a
response message to the eNodeB. If the eNodeB receives a response message from the
public DHCP server, it assumes that the VLAN ID is valid.
NOTE
In scenarios without the SeGW, the eNodeB may obtain the VLAN ID by VLAN detection and VLAN
scanning simultaneously. In this case, it preferentially uses the VLAN ID obtained by VLAN detection to
initiate a DHCP request.

4.2 PnP Remote Commissioning in Unified Encryption


Mode (with the SeGW)
To commission an eNodeB when the SeGW is deployed, you need to enable the plug and play
(PnP) function of the eNodeB on the M2000 client. After the faults (if any) occurred during
automatic commissioning are rectified and the commissioning procedure is complete, the
eNodeB can work properly.

Obtaining Digital Certificates


Before commissioning an eNodeB, prepare a Huawei root certificate on the CA server. The CA
server uses the Huawei root certificate to authenticate the eNodeB before issuing operator's
certificates to the eNodeB.

Context
Before eNodeB delivery, the Huawei root certificate and Huawei device certificate are
preconfigured in the main control board of the eNodeB by default. The two certificates are
permanently valid.
l As a default trusted CA certificate, the Huawei root certificate has been loaded to the
certificate storage area of an eNodeB before delivery. This certificate must be loaded to
the CA server before eNodeB commissioning. In this way, the CA server can authenticate
the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based on
Certificate Management Protocol version 2 (CMPv2).
l The Huawei device certificate is the initial device certificate of an eNodeB. This certificate
identifies the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based
on CMPv2.
Figure 4-16 shows the procedure for obtaining digital certificates.

Figure 4-16 Procedure for obtaining digital certificates

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the Huawei root certificate.
Step 2 Load the Huawei root certificate to the CA server.

Configuring the Security Equipment


On the live networks, operators use different security gateway (SeGW) equipment with different
configuration data. Based on the operators' network planning and network design, the equipment

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 167

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

is configured according to the user guide of a corresponding equipment type. The following
configurations and operations are based on Huawei S6500 series Ethernet switches. If the
eNodeB performs IEEE 802.1X-based access control, operations on authentication devices are
based on Huawei Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.

Prerequisites
l Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Operation Manual is available. You can obtain
the document from http://support.huawei.com.
l HUAWEI AAA Commissioning Guide is available. You can obtain the document from
http://support.huawei.com.
l If IEEE 802.1X-based access control is adopted, the operator must use the authentication
access equipment that supports IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication and the
corresponding AAA server that supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

Context
When the SeGW is deployed, you are required to configure data for the SeGW. If eNodeB data
is authenticated using digital certificates or Preshared Key (PSK), you must set the customized
parameters, such as the IP addresses of the SeGW and M2000 server, on the public Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. In this way, the eNodeB can set up an Internet
protocol security (IPSec) tunnel with the SeGW and can be connected to the M2000. When IEEE
802.1X-based access control authentication is adopted, you must configure the authentication
access equipment and authentication server. Generally, the authentication server refers to the
AAA server.
l Table 4-5 describes the SeGW configuration.

Table 4-5 SeGW configurations

l The purposes for configuring the public DHCP server are as follows:
– When an eNodeB sends messages to the public DHCP server to obtain customized
information, the public DHCP server can identify that the eNodeB is Huawei eNodeB.
– Then, the public DHCP server returns the customized information to the eNodeB.
The public DHCP server needs to configure the information for identifying Huawei eNodeB
and the customized information related to Huawei equipment. The customized information
provides necessary configuration information for the setup of the DHCP server with the
SeGW deployed, as described in Table 4-6.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the configuration of the SeGW by referring to Table 4-5.

Step 2 Configure the public DHCP server by referring to Table 4-6.


Configuration methods vary according to different DHCP servers. The following part describes
the DHCP server configuration using the interface IP address pool based on Huawei Quidway
S6500.
1. Run system-view to enter the system view.
2. Run dhcp enable to enable DHCP services.
3. Run interface vlanif vlan-id to enter the VLANIF view.
4. Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } to configure the IP address of the
VLANIF interface. The range of addresses in the interface address pool equals to the
network segment of IP addresses of this interface.
5. Run dhcp select interface to configure the DHCP server to be in address pool mode.
6. Run dhcp server lease { day day [ hour hour [ minute minute ] ] | unlimited } to configure
the IP address lease. The IP address lease is one day.
7. (Optional) Run dhcp server excluded-ip-address start-ip-address [ end-ip-address ] to
configure the IP addresses that are not allocated in the DHCP address pool. Multiple IP
address segments that are not allocated in the DHCP address pool can be configured by
repeating this step.
8. Configure the customized DHCP information of the address pool of a VLANIF by referring
to Table 4-6.
9. Apply the VLANIF on the physical port. Huawei Quidway S6500 will respond the DHCP
request messages (DHCP Discover messages) that are sent to this physical port.

4.2.8 Commissioning the Antenna System on the M2000


Commissioning the antenna system on the M2000 includes commissioning the remote electrical
tilt (RET) and tower-mounted amplifier (TMA).

(Optional) Commissioning the RET Antenna on the M2000


This section describes how to use MML commands to commission the remote electrical tilt
(RET) antenna on the M2000. If tasks for RET commissioning in the commissioning phase are
not selected on the M2000, the M2000 does not perform RET commissioning after the
commissioning phase starts. In this case, you need to use MML commands to commission the
RET antenna.

Prerequisites
l The antenna line device (ALD) is installed correctly.
l The LMT communicates with the eNodeB properly.
l The RET software and data configuration file are available.
l The FTP server functions properly and is connected to the eNodeB correctly.
l Each FTP user has the permission to read a specified folder.
l There is no firewall between the FTP server and the eNodeB.

Context
l Commissioning the RET antenna includes downloading the RET software and data
configuration file, calibrating the RET antenna, setting the RET downtilt, and query RET
overcurrent or undercurrent alarms.
l The RET downtilt must be configured based on the planned network data. Otherwise, the
RET downtilt affects antenna coverage.

Procedure
Step 1 Set the ALD power switch and overcurrent or undercurrent alarm thresholds.

If... Run...

The RET is connected using the RET port MOD RETPORT

The RET is connected using the antenna port MOD ANTENNAPORT


on the RRU or RFU

NOTE
The ALD power switch is OFF by default. Before using the RET, set the ALD power switch to ON and
set current alarm thresholds. If the current exceeds the overcurrent or undercurrent alarm threshold, the
ALD power switch automatically turns off. This affects the subsequent RET commissioning.

Step 2 Scan the ALD connected to the RRU.

4.3 PnP Remote Commissioning in Differentiated


Encryption Mode (with the SeGW)
To commission an eNodeB on the M2000 when the SeGW is deployed, you need to enable the
plug and play (PnP) function of the eNodeB on the M2000 client. If any faults occur during
automatic commissioning, rectify the faults. After the commissioning is complete, the eNodeB
starts working properly. In this scenario, eNodeB service data is processed in differentiated
encryption mode.

4.3.1 Commissioning Procedure


This section describes how to perform PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption
mode.
When eNodeB service data is processed in differentiated encryption mode, the eNodeB can use
either PSK-based or PKI-based authentication when establishing IPSec tunnels during
transmission. Therefore, PnP remote commissioning in differentiated encryption mode involves
PSK-based authentication and PKI-based authentication. Figure 4-23 shows the commissioning
procedure.

Obtaining Digital Certificates


Before commissioning an eNodeB, prepare a Huawei root certificate on the CA server and obtain
an operator's root certificate. The CA server uses the Huawei root certificate to authenticate the
eNodeB before issuing operator's certificates to the eNodeB. The eNodeB uses the operator's
root certificate to authenticate the CA server before applying for an operator's device certificate.
These digital certificates are required only if the PKI-based authentication is used. If the PSK-
based authentication is used, skip this step. PKI is short for public key infrastructure, and PSK
is short for Preshared Key.

Context
Before eNodeB delivery, the Huawei root certificate and Huawei device certificate are
preconfigured in the main control board of the eNodeB by default. The two certificates are
permanently valid.
l As a default trusted CA certificate, the Huawei root certificate has been loaded to the
certificate storage area of an eNodeB before delivery. This certificate must be loaded to
the CA server before eNodeB commissioning. In this way, the CA server can authenticate
the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based on
Certificate Management Protocol version 2 (CMPv2).
l The Huawei device certificate is the initial device certificate of an eNodeB. This certificate
identifies the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based
on CMPv2.
Figure 4-27 shows the procedure for obtaining digital certificates.

Figure 4-27 Procedure for obtaining digital certificates

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the operator's root certificate.
Step 2 Load the Huawei root certificate to the CA server.

Configuring the Security Equipment


On the live networks, operators use different security gateway (SeGW) equipment with different
configuration data. Based on the operators' network planning and network design, the equipment
is configured according to the user guide of a corresponding equipment type. The following
configurations and operations are based on Huawei S6500 series Ethernet switches. If the
eNodeB performs IEEE 802.1X-based access control, operations on authentication devices are
based on Huawei Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.

Prerequisites
l Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Operation Manual is available. You can obtain
the document from http://support.huawei.com.
l HUAWEI AAA Commissioning Guide is available. You can obtain the document from
http://support.huawei.com.
l If IEEE 802.1X-based access control is adopted, the operator must use the authentication
access equipment that supports IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication and the
corresponding AAA server that supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

Context
When the SeGW is deployed, you are required to configure data for the SeGW. When IEEE
802.1X-based access control authentication is adopted, you must configure the authentication
access equipment and authentication server. Generally, the authentication server refers to the
AAA server.
Table 4-18 describes the SeGW configuration.

Table 4-18 SeGW configuration

vlan 4 command to enter the VLAN view, and run the ip add 10.147.209.38
255.255.255.0 command to add an IP address and subnet mask for the VLAN. Run the
ip route-static 10.166.27.48 24 10.147.209.1 command to add the switch-to-AAA server
route relationship.
5. Set the parameters of AAA server on the switch.
Run the radius scheme accounting command to create a RADIUS solution named
radius1, and enter the RADIUS view. Then, run the primary authentication 10.166.27.48
1812 command to set the port No. to 1812 and the IP address to 10.166.27.48 for the primary
authentication server. Then, run key authentication itellin to set the authentication key to
itellin.

4.3.6 Obtaining an Operator's Device Certificate Manually (with


PKI)
If the PKI-based authentication is used in differentiated encryption mode, an Internet protocol
security (IPSec) tunnel must be set up between the eNodeB and the security gateway (SeGW)
to ensure that cells are working properly. Before the tunnel setup, digital certificates are required
for the authentication between the eNodeB and the SeGW. Therefore, after the eNodeB software
and data configuration files are activated, and the eNodeB is connected to the M2000, you must
manually obtain an operator's device certificate from the M2000. This section describes how to
manually obtain an operator's device certificate.

Prerequisites
l If the direct or M2000-assisted certificate management mode based on Certificate
Management Protocol (CMP) is used for applying for certificates, the CA server must be
deployed with the Huawei root certificate loaded.
l If the direct certificate management mode based on CMP is used for applying for
certificates, the eNodeB data configuration file must contain correct information about the
CA and certificate request file.
l APPCERT in the eNodeB data configuration file is set to appcert.pem, which indicates
the preconfigured device certificate. If the operator's device certificate is applied for in
offline mode, this setting is not required.

Procedure
l If the eNodeB communicates with the CA server through the non-security domain and CMP
is used as the method for updating certificates, the direct certificate management mode
based on CMP is recommended. The procedure is as follows:

Checking for External Environment Alarms


This section describes how to check for external environment alarms. After setting the
parameters for environment alarms, you need to verify the parameter settings by checking for
external environment alarms.

Context
You can manually trigger several external environment alarms to verify the parameter settings.
If external environment alarms can be reported, the parameter settings are correct.

Procedure
Step 1 Manually trigger several external environment alarms. For details, see the appendix Triggering
Monitoring Device Alarms.
Step 2 Check for the external environment alarms on the M2000. For details, see Rectifying Faults
and Clearing Alarms Against the eNodeB Health Check Report. If external environment
alarms can be reported, the parameter settings are correct. If no external environment alarm is
reported, set the parameters again or contact Huawei for technical support.

----End

Example
Assuming that a water sensor is installed for the fan monitoring unit (FMU), to check whether
the parameter settings for water damage alarms are correct, perform the following operations:
1. Run the MOD FMU command with WS_DISABLE(Water-Immersed Sensor
Disabled) in Special Boolean Alarm Flag cleared.
2. Immerse the water sensor or its probe in water for more than 10s, and check whether water
damage alarms are reported. If water damage alarms are reported, the parameter settings
are correct.

4.4 Local Commissioning Using a USB Flash Drive in


Unified Encryption Mode (with the SeGW)
To perform USB-based local eNodeB commissioning in unified encryption mode, you need to
upgrade the eNodeB software and data configuration files using a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
flash drive, and check the running status of indicators on the eNodeB. Then, create an eNodeB
commissioning task on the M2000.

4.4.1 Commissioning Procedure


This section describes how to perform local eNodeB commissioning using a Universal Serial
Bus (USB) flash drive in unified encryption mode.
When eNodeB service data is processed in unified encryption mode, the eNodeB can set up an
IPSec tunnel using either Preshared Key (PSK)-based or public key infrastructure (PKI)-based
authentication to implement security authentication after downloading and activating the
software and configuration files using a USB flash drive.
After performing deployment operations for the eNodeB at the local end, you can perform remote
commissioning on the M2000 or local commissioning on the LMT. To facilitate centralized
eNodeB maintenance, you are advised to perform remote commissioning on the M2000. Figure
4-34 shows the procedure for local eNodeB commissioning using a USB flash drive in unified
encryption mode.

Obtaining Digital Certificates


Before commissioning an eNodeB, prepare a Huawei root certificate on the CA server. The CA
server uses the Huawei root certificate to authenticate the eNodeB before issuing operator's

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 272

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

certificates to the eNodeB. This digital certificate is required only if the PKI-based authentication
is used. If the PSK-based authentication is used, skip this step. PKI is short for public key
infrastructure, and PSK is short for Preshared Key.

Context
Before eNodeB delivery, the Huawei root certificate and Huawei device certificate are
preconfigured in the main control board of the eNodeB by default. The two certificates are
permanently valid.
l As a default trusted CA certificate, the Huawei root certificate has been loaded to the
certificate storage area of an eNodeB before delivery. This certificate must be loaded to
the CA server before eNodeB commissioning. In this way, the CA server can authenticate
the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based on
Certificate Management Protocol version 2 (CMPv2).
l The Huawei device certificate is the initial device certificate of an eNodeB. This certificate
identifies the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based
on CMPv2.
Figure 4-35 shows the procedure for obtaining the digital certificate.

Configuring the Security Equipment


On the live networks, operators use different security gateway (SeGW) equipment with different
configuration data. Based on the operators' network planning and network design, the equipment

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 273

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

is configured according to the user guide of a corresponding equipment type. The following
configurations and operations are based on Huawei S6500 series Ethernet switches. If the
eNodeB performs IEEE 802.1X-based access control, operations on authentication devices are
based on Huawei Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.

Prerequisites
l Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Operation Manual is available. You can obtain
the document from http://support.huawei.com.
l HUAWEI AAA Commissioning Guide is available. You can obtain the document from
http://support.huawei.com.
l If IEEE 802.1X-based access control is adopted, the operator must use the authentication
access equipment that supports IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication and the
corresponding AAA server that supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

Context
When the SeGW is deployed, you are required to configure data for the SeGW. If digital
certificates are required for the PKI-based authentication, the customized parameters, such as
the IP addresses of the SeGW and M2000 server, must be set on the public Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. In this way, an Internet protocol security (IPSec) tunnel
between the eNodeB and the SeGW can be set up, and the eNodeB can be connected to the
M2000. When IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication is adopted, you must configure
the authentication access equipment and authentication server. Generally, the authentication
server refers to the AAA server.
l Table 4-29 describes the SeGW configuration.

Table 4-29 SeGW configuration

l The purposes for configuring the public DHCP server are as follows:
– When an eNodeB sends messages to the public DHCP server to obtain customized
information, the public DHCP server can identify that the eNodeB is Huawei eNodeB.
– Then, the public DHCP server returns the customized information to the eNodeB.
The public DHCP server needs to configure the information for identifying Huawei eNodeB
and the customized information related to Huawei equipment. The customized information
provides necessary configuration information for the setup of the DHCP server with the
SeGW deployed, as described in Table 4-30.

the file names of the user certificate and private key must be configured for the AAA server.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the configuration of the SeGW by referring to Table 4-29.
Step 2 Configure the public DHCP server by referring to Table 4-30.
Configuration methods vary according to different DHCP servers. The following part describes
the DHCP server configuration using the interface IP address pool based on Huawei Quidway
S6500.
1. Run system-view to enter the system view.
2. Run dhcp enable to enable DHCP services.
3. Run interface vlanif vlan-id to enter the VLANIF view.
4. Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } to configure the IP address of the
VLANIF interface. The range of addresses in the interface address pool equals to the
network segment of IP addresses of this interface.
5. Run dhcp select interface to configure the DHCP server to be in address pool mode.
6. Run dhcp server lease { day day [ hour hour [ minute minute ] ] | unlimited } to configure
the IP address lease. The IP address lease is one day.
7. (Optional) Run dhcp server excluded-ip-address start-ip-address [ end-ip-address ] to
configure the IP addresses that are not allocated in the DHCP address pool. Multiple IP
address segments that are not allocated in the DHCP address pool can be configured by
repeating this step.
8. Configure the customized DHCP information of the address pool of a VLANIF by referring
to Table 4-30.
9. Apply the VLANIF on the physical port. Huawei Quidway S6500 will respond the DHCP
request messages (DHCP Discover messages) that are sent to this physical port.

Step 3 Configure the authentication access equipment.


The authentication access equipment may vary according to different operators. Huawei
Quidway S6500 series Ethernet switches are taken as an example.
1. Enable the global IEEE 802.1X-based access control feature.
Run sys to enter the system command state. Run dot1x to enable the global IEEE 802.1X-
based access control feature.
2. Enable the IEEE 802.1X feature on the port.
For example, to enable the IEEE 802.1X feature for port 3, run the interface
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 command to enter the port view, and run the dot1x command to
enable IEEE 802.1X feature.
3. Run dot1x authentication-method { chap | pap | eap } to set the authentication method
to EAP.
4. Configure the VLAN and add the route relationship between the transmission network and
AAA server.
For example, run the vlan 4 command to add a VLAN whose ID is 4. Run the interface
vlan 4 command to enter the VLAN view, and run the ip add 10.147.209.38
255.255.255.0 command to add an IP address and subnet mask for the VLAN. Run the
ip route-static 10.166.27.48 24 10.147.209.1 command to add the switch-to-AAA server
route relationship.
5. Set the parameters of AAA server on the switch.
Run the radius scheme accounting command to create a RADIUS solution named
radius1, and enter the RADIUS view. Then, run the primary authentication 10.166.27.48
1812 command to set the port No. to 1812 and the IP address to 10.166.27.48 for the primary
authentication server. Then, run key authentication itellin to set the authentication key to
itellin.
For details, see Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Operation Manual.
Step 4 Configure the eNodeB CA certificate for the AAA server.
The AAA server may vary according to different operators. The descriptions here take the
Huawei AAA server as an example. For details, see HUAWEI AAA Commissioning Guide.
1. Upload the CA certificate of a terminal user to the iscc2/config/secert directory of infoX
AAA server.
2. Change the file names of the user certificate and private key in the SCPCFG.INI file. Ensure
that the file names are consistent with the file names of the user certificate and private key
uploaded in Step 4.1.

4.4.3 Downloading and Activating the Software, Data


Configuration File, and License File Using a USB Flash Drive
The eNodeB automatically downloads the software, data configuration file and license file from
the USB flash drive. After the download is complete, the eNodeB automatically activates the
software, data configuration file, and the license file. Then, the eNodeB is reset.

Prerequisites
l A USB flash drive is ready. The required files are saved in the USB flash drive.
l The hardware such as remote radio units (RRUs) and LTE baseband processing units
(LBBPs) have been properly connected.

CAUTION
When you save the required files into the USB flash drive, ensure that the locking switch on the
USB flash drive is disabled. In other words, the USB flash drive must be writable.

Context
Before downloading files from a USB flash drive, the eNodeB verifies the names and formats
of the files.
Before downloading the software and data configuration file, the eNodeB automatically checks
the working mode of the RRU. Then, the eNodeB downloads and activates the corresponding
software and data configuration file based on the working mode of the RRU.
You must pay attention to the following points when you download and activate the software,
data configuration file, and license file using the USB flash drive:
l If the software and data configuration file in the USB flash drive are already activated, they
cannot be reactivated for the same eNodeB because of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
function. The CRC function can prevent the software and data configuration file from being
reactivated when the USB flash drive is always inserted into the eNodeB. The CRC function
can also prevent the eNodeB from being reset again after eNodeB deployment using the
USB flash drive.
l If the USB flash drive contains only the eNodeB software and data configuration file, the
eNodeB downloads and activates the eNodeB software, and then downloads and activates
the data configuration file.
l If the eNodeB software or data configuration file is missing in the USB flash drive, the
eNodeB performs the following steps:
– If the software is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the data configuration
file and license file except the software.
– If the data configuration file is missing, the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum
configuration of the target version and downloads and activates the license file except
the data configuration file.
– If the license file is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the software and data
configuration file except the license file.
l If the eNodeB software upgrade fails, the eNodeB will roll back to the source version.

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 281

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

l Before downloading and activating the data configuration file, the eNodeB does not check
the compatibility between the data configuration file and the eNodeB software version. The
eNodeB performs the following activities:
– If the target software version is not the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software after the
software is upgraded and the eNodeB is reset. If the software is incompatible with the
data configuration file or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail,
the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum configuration of the target version.
– If the target software version is the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software without
upgrading the software. If the software is incompatible with the data configuration file
or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail, the eNodeB uses the
data configuration file of the source version.
l The eNodeB does not download or activate the eNodeB software, data configuration file,
or license file from the USB flash drive in any of the following cases:
– The eNodeB software and data configuration file or their saving paths do not exist in
the USB flash drive.
– The target software version is the same as the active software version. In this case, the
eNodeB software cannot be downloaded or activated, but the data configuration file and
license file can be downloaded and activated.
– The data configuration file is the same as the active data configuration. In this case, the
data configuration file cannot be downloaded or activated, but the software and license
file can be downloaded and activated.
– The license file cannot be downloaded, but the software and data configuration file can
be downloaded and activated in any of the following cases:
– The license file to be downloaded is not the commissioning license.
– The license file to be downloaded is the commissioning license, but the value of
ESN is not ANY.
– The configurations or the names of the license file to be downloaded and the active
license file are the same.

Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the eNodeB is powered on. If it is not powered on, power on the eNodeB. If it
is already powered on, go to Step 2.
NOTE
Ensure that the RRU is powered on and the common public radio interface (CPRI) connections are correct
before you power on the eNodeB. Check for faults by monitoring the CPRI indicator status on the LBBP
after the eNodeB is powered on. For details, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

Step 2 When the eNodeB operates properly, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the
BBU3900 main control board. If an LMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 4-36; if an
UMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 4-37.

Step 3 Wait for the eNodeB to automatically upgrade the software and data configuration file.

If the download or activation fails, commission the eNodeB by updating the software and data
configuration file in the USB flash drive or using a new USB flash drive.

If the download or activation still fails, perform the local eNodeB commissioning on the LMT.
When the software and data configuration file are being upgraded, the normal status of the
indicators on the USB flash drive and main control board is shown in Table 4-31. If the indicators
are abnormal, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

Follow-up Procedure

CAUTION
The eNodeB software package contains the LMT software. Before downloading the eNodeB
software package, pay attention to the following points:
l When the LMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory is limited, the LMPT
does not support download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. To
reduce the eNodeB deployment duration, some of the files of the LMT software are
automatically downloaded from the M2000 to the eNodeB four hours after the eNodeB
deployment. If you need to use the LMT complete package immediately after the eNodeB
deployment, run the SPL SOFTWARE command on the M2000 after the eNodeB is
connected to the M2000. Set Delay Download File Supply Flag to YES(Supply File that
Support Delay). The remaining files of LMT software are downloaded to the eNodeB. If
you want the LMPT to support download of the LMT complete package through the USB
flash drive, when preparing the files in the USB flash drive, configure the value of
WEBLMT from the default configuration files as YES (case-insensitive).
l When the UMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory increases. The UMPT
supports download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. Therefore,
an LMT package is not required after software activation.

4.4.4 Uploading Data Files


Upload data files that are required for procedures of eNodeB commissioning. Data files required
for procedures of eNodeB commissioning tasks are NE software versions, cold patches, hot
patches, configuration data files, deployment lists, RET antenna software versions and
configuration data files, RET antenna templates, and commissioning licenses.

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the M2000 client.

Context
You need to upload data files in the following scenarios:

l Prepare for the commissioning.


Upload the required data files to the M2000 server before commissioning as required.
l The commissioning cannot be started because certain required data files are unavailable.
The M2000 automatically checks whether data files required for customized procedures
are available. If certain data files are unavailable, the commissioning cannot be started.
Upload the required data files that are previously unavailable from the client to the
M2000 server.

The data files required for eNodeB commissioning need to be saved in specified paths on the
M2000 server. For details, see Table 4-32.

4.4.5 Creating an eNodeB Commissioning Task


This section describes how to create an eNodeB commissioning task on the M2000 client after
commissioning preparations are complete.

Prerequisites
l You have logged in to the M2000 client.
l eNodeB commissioning preparations are complete.
l If the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, radio network planning engineers need to plan the
area to which the eNodeB belongs.
l If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are located on different network segments, you need
to configure the router nearest to the eNodeB as the DHCP relay.
– In an insecure scenario, you need to set the DHCP relay IP address on the router to the
DHCP server IP address of the M2000. In a secure scenario, you need to set the DHCP
relay IP address on the router to the common DHCP server IP address and on the security
gateway, you need to set the IP address of the DHCP server to the DHCP server IP
address of the M2000.
– In situations where the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, the preceding DHCP server
IP address of the M2000 refers to the host IP address.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > Auto Deployment > NodeB Auto Deployment from the main menu
of the Configuration > Auto Deployment > eNodeB Auto Deployment client. The eNodeB
Auto Deployment window is displayed.

3. (Optional) Select the area to which an eNodeB belongs in the Sub-area area. This step is
mandatory when theM2000 is deployed in SLS mode.

NEs belong to different areas when they are managed by different M2000 servers. If the
M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, NEs are managed by different servers. On the CME client,
these NEs belong to different areas. Select the active or slave M2000 server that the NE
belongs to based on the planned data. Configure the data as follows:

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 295


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

l If the NE was created on the active M2000 server, set the PEERIP parameter for the
OMCH to the IP address of the active M2000 server.
l If the NE was created on the slave M2000 server, set the PEERIP parameter for the
OMCH to the IP address of the slave M2000 server.
l Set the Destination IP parameter for the IP router from the NE to the M2000 server to
an IP address on the the network segment where the M2000 server is located.

NOTE
Onsite deployment engineers need to perform operations based on the areas that have been planned
for eNodeBs by radio network planning engineers.
l If eNodeBs belong to one area, import one deployment list to create eNodeBs in batches.
l If eNodeBs belong to different areas, import multiple deployment lists by area to create eNodeBs.
4. In NE Connection Mode, set a mode for connecting the M2000 and NEs.

Modes for connecting the M2000 and NEs are as follows:


l Common Connection: default connection mode.
l SSL Connection: If this mode is selected, you also need to set an authentication mode.
Authentication modes are Anonymous Authority and OSS Authentication NE, where
Anonymous Authority is the default authentication mode.
NOTE
To enable automatic SSL connection during NE deployment, you need to set the authentication mode
for NE in advance on the CME in addition to setting the connection mode between the M2000 and
NEs in this step.

Step 3 Click OK. The system starts the import.

After the import is complete, the M2000 checks for mandatory parameters with empty values
and invalid base station configuration data. In addition, the information indicating whether the
import succeeded or failed is displayed on the Operation Information tab page.

l If the import is successful, the M2000 automatically creates a commissioning task for each
eNodeB. The imported eNodeB deployment lists are displayed on the Deployment List tab
page.
l If the import fails, the causes of the failure are displayed on the Operation Information tab
page.

Step 4 (Optional) Modify data in the imported deployment lists as required. This step is mandatory
when you need to modify the data in the imported deployment lists.
NOTE
You can check whether the parameters in eNodeB deployment lists can be modified by referring to
Parameters for the eNodeB Deployment List.
1. Select a commissioning task from the commissioning task list, and double-click the cells
containing parameter values to change the values.

You can change ESNs by double-clicking the cells containing ESNs. Alternatively, you
can perform the following operations to change the ESNs:

a. Click in the ESN value cell. The Bind ESN dialog box is displayed.
b. Select an ESN that is not bound, and click OK to return to the Deployment
Parameter dialog box.

Checking for External Environment Alarms


This section describes how to check for external environment alarms. After setting the
parameters for environment alarms, you need to verify the parameter settings by checking for
external environment alarms.

Context
You can manually trigger several external environment alarms to verify the parameter settings.
If external environment alarms can be reported, the parameter settings are correct.

Procedure
Step 1 Manually trigger several external environment alarms. For details, see the appendix Triggering
Monitoring Device Alarms.
Step 2 Check for the external environment alarms on the M2000. For details, see Rectifying Faults
and Clearing Alarms Against the eNodeB Health Check Report. If external environment
alarms can be reported, the parameter settings are correct. If no external environment alarm is
reported, set the parameters again or contact Huawei for technical support.

----End

Example
Assuming that a water sensor is installed for the fan monitoring unit (FMU), to check whether
the parameter settings for water damage alarms are correct, perform the following operations:
1. Run the MOD FMU command with WS_DISABLE(Water-Immersed Sensor
Disabled) in Special Boolean Alarm Flag cleared.
2. Immerse the water sensor or its probe in water for more than 10s, and check whether water
damage alarms are reported. If water damage alarms are reported, the parameter settings
are correct.

Prerequisites
l The RRU or RFU is connected properly.
l The local maintenance terminal (LMT) or M2000 communicates properly with the eNodeB.
l You have logged in to the M2000 as administrator.

Context
The maximum output power of the RRU or RFU is specified by the local operator.

If an eNodeB is configured with multiple RRUs or RFUs, you must use MML commands to
manually reset RRUs or RFUs one by one. If RRUs or RFUs are cascaded, set the maximum
output power for the lowest-level RRU or RFU and then for other RRUs or RFUs to reduce the
impact on upper-level RRUs.

The maximum output power for the RRU or RFU needs to be set only if it is less than the
maximum output power that the RRU or RFU can physically achieve.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet No., subrack No., slot No., and transmit
channel No. of the RRU or RFU.

Step 2 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to query the maximum output power supported by the
RRU or RFU based on the information queried in Step 1.

Step 3 Run the LOC RRUTC command to set the maximum output power for the RRU or RFU.

Step 4 Run the RST BRD command to reset the RRU or RFU.

Step 5 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the setting of the maximum output
power for the RRU or RFU takes effect.

These digital certificates are required only if the PKI-based authentication is used. If the PSK-
based authentication is used, skip this step. PKI is short for public key infrastructure, and PSK
is short for Preshared Key.

Context
Before eNodeB delivery, the Huawei root certificate and Huawei device certificate are
preconfigured in the main control board of the eNodeB by default. The two certificates are
permanently valid.
l As a default trusted CA certificate, the Huawei root certificate has been loaded to the
certificate storage area of an eNodeB before delivery. This certificate must be loaded to
the CA server before eNodeB commissioning. In this way, the CA server can authenticate
the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based on
Certificate Management Protocol version 2 (CMPv2).
l The Huawei device certificate is the initial device certificate of an eNodeB. This certificate
identifies the eNodeB when the eNodeB applies for an operator's device certificate based
on CMPv2.
Figure 4-45 shows the procedure for obtaining digital certificates.

Figure 4-45 Procedure for obtaining digital certificates

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the operator's root certificate.
Step 2 Load the Huawei root certificate to the CA server.

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

is configured according to the user guide of a corresponding equipment type. The following
configurations and operations are based on Huawei S6500 series Ethernet switches. If the
eNodeB performs IEEE 802.1X-based access control, operations on authentication devices are
based on Huawei Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.

Prerequisites
l Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Operation Manual is available. You can obtain
the document from http://support.huawei.com.
l HUAWEI AAA Commissioning Guide is available. You can obtain the document from
http://support.huawei.com.
l If IEEE 802.1X-based access control is adopted, the operator must use the authentication
access equipment that supports IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication and the
corresponding AAA server that supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

Context
When the SeGW is deployed, you are required to configure data for the SeGW. When IEEE
802.1X-based access control authentication is adopted, you must configure the authentication
access equipment and authentication server. Generally, the authentication server refers to the
AAA server.

Table 4-43 describes the SeGW configuration.

Table 4-43 SeGW configuration

If the PKI-based authentication is used, IEEE 802.1X-based access control authentication can
be performed:
l When the authentication access equipment is used, the authentication mode and the
authentication method must be set to Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) and EAP respectively, because certificate authentication is adopted currently.
l When the AAA server is used, the CA certificates of terminal users must be uploaded, and
the file names of the user certificate and private key must be configured for the AAA server.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the configuration of the SeGW by referring to Table 4-43.

Step 2 Configure the authentication access equipment.


NOTE
This step is required only if the PKI-based authentication is used. If the PSK-based authentication is used,
skip this step.

4.5.3 Downloading and Activating the Software, Data


Configuration File, and License File Using a USB Flash Drive
The eNodeB automatically downloads the software, data configuration file and license file from
the USB flash drive. After the download is complete, the eNodeB automatically activates the
software, data configuration file, and the license file. Then, the eNodeB is reset.

Prerequisites
l A USB flash drive is ready. The required files are saved in the USB flash drive.
l The hardware such as remote radio units (RRUs) and LTE baseband processing units
(LBBPs) have been properly connected.

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 337

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

CAUTION
When you save the required files into the USB flash drive, ensure that the locking switch on the
USB flash drive is disabled. In other words, the USB flash drive must be writable.

Context
Before downloading files from a USB flash drive, the eNodeB verifies the names and formats
of the files.

Before downloading the software and data configuration file, the eNodeB automatically checks
the working mode of the RRU. Then, the eNodeB downloads and activates the corresponding
software and data configuration file based on the working mode of the RRU.

You must pay attention to the following points when you download and activate the software,
data configuration file, and license file using the USB flash drive:
l If the software and data configuration file in the USB flash drive are already activated, they
cannot be reactivated for the same eNodeB because of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
function. The CRC function can prevent the software and data configuration file from being
reactivated when the USB flash drive is always inserted into the eNodeB. The CRC function
can also prevent the eNodeB from being reset again after eNodeB deployment using the
USB flash drive.
l If the USB flash drive contains only the eNodeB software and data configuration file, the
eNodeB downloads and activates the eNodeB software, and then downloads and activates
the data configuration file.
l If the eNodeB software or data configuration file is missing in the USB flash drive, the
eNodeB performs the following steps:
– If the software is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the data configuration
file and license file except the software.
– If the data configuration file is missing, the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum
configuration of the target version and downloads and activates the license file except
the data configuration file.
– If the license file is missing, the eNodeB downloads and activates the software and data
configuration file except the license file.
l If the eNodeB software upgrade fails, the eNodeB will roll back to the source version.
l Before downloading and activating the data configuration file, the eNodeB does not check
the compatibility between the data configuration file and the eNodeB software version. The
eNodeB performs the following activities:
– If the target software version is not the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software after the
software is upgraded and the eNodeB is reset. If the software is incompatible with the
data configuration file or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail,
the eNodeB upgrades to the minimum configuration of the target version.
– If the target software version is the same as the active software version, the eNodeB
checks the mapping between the data configuration file and the software without
upgrading the software. If the software is incompatible with the data configuration file
or the download and activation of the data configuration file fail, the eNodeB uses the
data configuration file of the source version.

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 4 eNodeB Commissioning Procedures (with the SeGW)

l The eNodeB does not download or activate the eNodeB software, data configuration file,
or license file from the USB flash drive in any of the following cases:
– The eNodeB software and data configuration file or their saving paths do not exist in
the USB flash drive.
– The target software version is the same as the active software version. In this case, the
eNodeB software cannot be downloaded or activated, but the data configuration file and
license file can be downloaded and activated.
– The data configuration file is the same as the active data configuration. In this case, the
data configuration file cannot be downloaded or activated, but the software and license
file can be downloaded and activated.
– The license file cannot be downloaded, but the software and data configuration file can
be downloaded and activated in any of the following cases:
– The license file to be downloaded is not the commissioning license.
– The license file to be downloaded is the commissioning license, but the value of
ESN is not ANY.
– The configurations or the names of the license file to be downloaded and the active
license file are the same.

Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the eNodeB is powered on. If it is not powered on, power on the eNodeB. If it
is already powered on, go to Step 2.
NOTE
Ensure that the RRU is powered on and the common public radio interface (CPRI) connections are correct
before you power on the eNodeB. Check for faults by monitoring the CPRI indicator status on the LBBP
after the eNodeB is powered on. For details, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

Step 2 When the eNodeB operates properly, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the
BBU3900 main control board. If an LMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 4-46; if an
UMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 4-47.

Figure 4-47 USB port on the UMPT

Step 3 Wait for the eNodeB to automatically upgrade the software and data configuration file.
If the download or activation fails, commission the eNodeB by updating the software and data
configuration file in the USB flash drive or using a new USB flash drive.
If the download or activation still fails, perform the local eNodeB commissioning on the LMT.
When the software and data configuration file are being upgraded, the normal status of the
indicators on the USB flash drive and main control board is shown in Table 4-44. If the indicators
are abnormal, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.

WARNING
Do not remove the USB flash drive or reset the eNodeB when downloading or activating the
eNodeB software and data configuration file using the USB flash drive. After the download is
complete, the eNodeB automatically activates the software and data configuration file. Then,
the eNodeB is reset.

Step 4 When the download and activation are successful, rectify faults by referring to Checking the
Status of Indicators.

----End

Follow-up Procedure

CAUTION
The eNodeB software package contains the LMT software. Before downloading the eNodeB
software package, pay attention to the following points:
l When the LMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory is limited, the LMPT
does not support download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. To
reduce the eNodeB deployment duration, some of the files of the LMT software are
automatically downloaded from the M2000 to the eNodeB four hours after the eNodeB
deployment. If you need to use the LMT complete package immediately after the eNodeB
deployment, run the SPL SOFTWARE command on the M2000 after the eNodeB is
connected to the M2000. Set Delay Download File Supply Flag to YES(Supply File that
Support Delay). The remaining files of LMT software are downloaded to the eNodeB. If
you want the LMPT to support download of the LMT complete package through the USB
flash drive, when preparing the files in the USB flash drive, configure the value of
WEBLMT from the default configuration files as YES (case-insensitive).
l When the UMPT is used: the speed of writing to the flash memory increases. The UMPT
supports download of the LMT complete package through the USB flash drive. Therefore,
an LMT package is not required after software activation.

4.5.4 Uploading Data Files


Upload data files that are required for procedures of eNodeB commissioning. Data files required
for procedures of eNodeB commissioning tasks are NE software versions, cold patches, hot
patches, configuration data files, deployment lists, RET antenna software versions and
configuration data files, RET antenna templates, and commissioning licenses.

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the M2000 client.

Context
You need to upload data files in the following scenarios:

l Prepare for the commissioning.


Upload the required data files to the M2000 server before commissioning as required.
l The commissioning cannot be started because certain required data files are unavailable.
The M2000 automatically checks whether data files required for customized procedures
are available. If certain data files are unavailable, the commissioning cannot be started.
Upload the required data files that are previously unavailable from the client to the
M2000 server.

4.5.5 Creating an eNodeB Commissioning Task


This section describes how to create an eNodeB commissioning task on the M2000 client after
commissioning preparations are complete.

Prerequisites
l You have logged in to the M2000 client.
l eNodeB commissioning preparations are complete.
l If the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, radio network planning engineers need to plan the
area to which the eNodeB belongs.
l If the eNodeB and the M2000 server are located on different network segments, you need
to configure the router nearest to the eNodeB as the DHCP relay.
– In an insecure scenario, you need to set the DHCP relay IP address on the router to the
DHCP server IP address of the M2000. In a secure scenario, you need to set the DHCP
relay IP address on the router to the common DHCP server IP address and on the security
gateway, you need to set the IP address of the DHCP server to the DHCP server IP
address of the M2000.
– In situations where the M2000 is deployed in SLS mode, the preceding DHCP server
IP address of the M2000 refers to the host IP address.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > Auto Deployment > NodeB Auto Deployment from the main menu
of the Configuration > Auto Deployment > eNodeB Auto Deployment client. The eNodeB

4.5.8 Obtaining an Operator's Device Certificate Manually (with


PKI)
If the PKI-based authentication is used in differentiated encryption mode, an Internet protocol
security (IPSec) tunnel must be set up between the eNodeB and the security gateway (SeGW)
to ensure that cells are working properly. Before the tunnel setup, digital certificates are required
for the authentication between the eNodeB and the SeGW. Therefore, after the eNodeB software
and data configuration files are activated, and the eNodeB is connected to the M2000, you must
manually obtain an operator's device certificate from the M2000. This section describes how to
manually obtain an operator's device certificate.

Prerequisites
l If the direct or M2000-assisted certificate management mode based on Certificate
Management Protocol (CMP) is used for applying for certificates, the CA server must be
deployed with the Huawei root certificate loaded.
l If the direct certificate management mode based on CMP is used for applying for
certificates, the eNodeB data configuration file must contain correct information about the
CA and certificate request file.
l APPCERT in the eNodeB data configuration file is set to appcert.pem, which indicates
the preconfigured device certificate. If the operator's device certificate is applied for in
offline mode, this setting is not required.

Procedure
l If the eNodeB communicates with the CA server through the non-security domain and CMP
is used as the method for updating certificates, the direct certificate management mode
based on CMP is recommended. The procedure is as follows:
1. Log in to the M2000. Remove the original operator's trust certificate by running the
RMV TRUSTCERT command with CERTNAME specified according to the
operator's naming rules. Assume that the operator's trust certificate is named
OperationCA.cer.
2. Download an operator's trust certificate file by running the DLD CERTFILE
command with DSTF specified according to the operator's naming rules, and IP,
USR, PWD, and SRCF specified based on site requirements.
3. Add an operator's trust certificate by running the ADD TRUSTCERT command with
CERTNAME set to OperationCA.cer.
4. Modify the registration information used to create a certificate request by running the
MOD CERTREQ command with COMMNAME set to ESN(ESN) and
USERADDINFO set to ESN.huawei.com.
5. Apply for an operator's device certificate by running the REQ DEVCERT command
with CANAME set to basestationCert.pem and other parameters specified based on
site requirements.
6. Modify information about the eNodeB device certificate by running the MOD
APPCERT command with APPTYPE set to IKE(IKE) and APPCERT set to
basestationCert.pem, which is the name of the operator's device certificate obtained
in the preceding step.
7. (Optional) If the common connection mode is configured in the eNodeB
commissioning task, but the SSL connection mode is used, change the NE connection
mode by performing the following operations: Select the corresponding NE on the
Main Topology tab page of the M2000 client. Right-click the NE and select
Properties. In the displayed NE Property dialog box, change NE Connection
Mode to SSL Connection and OSS Authentication Mode to OSS Authentication
NE.
8. (Optional) If the operator's certificates are also required in SSL connection mode,
modify information about the eNodeB device certificate by running the MOD
APPCERT command with APPTYPE set to SSL(SSL) and APPCERT set to
basestationCert.pem, which is the name of the operator's device certificate obtained
in the preceding step.
9. Remove the original operator's device certificate by running the RMV CERTMK
command with APPCERT set to OPKIDevCert.cer.

10. (Optional) Modify the configuration of the CA server based on the deployment of the
operator's CA server.
a. Query the the CA name and uniform resource locator (URL) for eNodeB
deployment by running the LST CA command and check the values of
Certificate Authority Name and Certificate Authority URL in the command
output.
– If the CA name after a certificate update in the future is the same as the queried
value of Certificate Authority Name, go to b.
– If the CA name after a certificate update in the future is different from the
queried value of Certificate Authority Name, go to c.
b. Change the CA URL by running the MOD CA command with URL set to the
CA URL after the certificate update.
c. Remove the CA URL that is different from the operator's CA URL by running
the RMV CA command.
d. Modify the CA configuration by running the ADD CA command with
CANAME and URL set to the CA name and URL after the certificate update,
respectively.
l If the eNodeB cannot directly communicate with the CA server through the non-security
domain but the M2000 can directly communicate with the CA server, proxy is used as the
method for updating certificates, and an M2000 client serves as a proxy of the CA server,

the parameter settings for water damage alarms are correct, perform the following operations:
1. Run the MOD FMU command with WS_DISABLE(Water-Immersed Sensor
Disabled) in Special Boolean Alarm Flag cleared.
2. Immerse the water sensor or its probe in water for more than 10s, and check whether water
damage alarms are reported. If water damage alarms are reported, the parameter settings
are correct.

4.5.13 Setting the Maximum Output Power for RRUs or RFUs


This section describes how to set the maximum output power for remote radio units (RRUs) or
radio frequency units (RFUs) according to the local regulations on power specifications.

Prerequisites
l The RRU or RFU is connected properly.
l The local maintenance terminal (LMT) or M2000 communicates properly with the eNodeB.
l You have logged in to the M2000 as administrator.

Context
The maximum output power of the RRU or RFU is specified by the local operator.

If an eNodeB is configured with multiple RRUs or RFUs, you must use MML commands to
manually reset RRUs or RFUs one by one. If RRUs or RFUs are cascaded, set the maximum
output power for the lowest-level RRU or RFU and then for other RRUs or RFUs to reduce the
impact on upper-level RRUs.

The maximum output power for the RRU or RFU needs to be set only if it is less than the
maximum output power that the RRU or RFU can physically achieve.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the DSP RRU command to query the cabinet No., subrack No., slot No., and transmit
channel No. of the RRU or RFU.

Step 2 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to query the maximum output power supported by the
RRU or RFU based on the information queried in Step 1.

Step 3 Run the LOC RRUTC command to set the maximum output power for the RRU or RFU.

Step 4 Run the RST BRD command to reset the RRU or RFU.

Step 5 Run the DSP TXBRANCH command to check whether the setting of the maximum output
power for the RRU or RFU takes effect.

5.1.3 Binding the eNodeB by Scanning a Bar Code


This section describes how to bind the eNodeB by scanning a bar code.

Prerequisites
l A bar code sheet containing bar code information is available.
l The bar code information is consistent with the actual eNodeB information.
l A bar code scanner is available.
l The eNodeB has been powered on
l The eNodeB communicates with the M2000 properly.

Context
After the bar code scanner scans a bar code successfully, the eNodeB reports the eNodeB ID on
the bar code to the M2000. If the eNodeB ID is consistent with that in the eNodeB deployment
list on the M2000, the M2000 automatically binds the eNodeB.

Procedure
Step 1 Connect the bar code scanner to the USB port on the main control board.

NOTE

l You can scan a bar code about 10s after the indicator on the bar code scanner turns on.
l Ensure that the scanner camera is less than 30 cm away from the bar code.

Step 2 Use the bar code scanner to read the eNodeB ID on the bar code to the eNodeB.
After the eNodeB obtains the eNodeB ID, the bar code scanner emits a sound and its laser
indicator turns off. In addition, you can check whether the eNodeB binding is successful by

Issue 04 (2012-06-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 423

eNodeB
Commissioning Guide 5 Appendix

viewing the RUN indicator on the main control board and checking download of the software
package. For details, see 5.3 Checking the Status of Indicators.
Step 3 Remove the bar code scanner after the bar code is successfully scanned.
NOTE

l If one of the following problems occurs, replace the hardware as follows:


l If the bar code scanner is faulty, replace the bar code scanner and scan the bar code again.
l If the bar code is damaged, print the bar code and scan the bar code again.
l If the bar code scanner cannot be connected to the eNodeB, check whether the USB port on the
eNodeB main control board is functioning properly. If the USB port is faulty, replace the main
control board and scan the bar code again.
l If the hardware functions properly but the eNodeB does not download the software package from the
M2000 after scanning, perform the following operations:
l If binding the eNodeB fails because an incorrect eNodeB ID is scanned and the eNodeB cannot
find the corresponding configuration, the eNodeB fails to establish an OML. When this occurs,
scan the correct eNodeB ID.
l If an incorrect eNodeB ID is scanned and used to establish an OML, and if the eNodeB binds the
M2000 server to the O&M IP address, the eNodeB with a correct eNodeB ID fails to be deployed.
When this occurs, download correct configuration and then scan the correct eNodeB ID for
deployment.

5.4 Configuring the Default Configuration File


This section describes how to configure the default configuration file.

Procedure
Step 1 Enter the board software package name.

In the PRECONFIG of the default configuration file, enter the board software package name
based on the format ALL=XXXX.
NOTE
.
l XXXX indicates the board software package name.
l Querying the board software package name: The board software package name corresponding to a
board type can be queried by checking the notes in the default configuration file. The notes in the
default configuration file are classified based on the format ;AAAA:BBBB. BBBB indicates the board
type. AAAA indicates the corresponding board software package name. For example, in the
note ;LRRUFDD:LRFU,RRU3808,RRU3201/RRU3203, the board software package name of
RRU3201 is LRRUFDD.
l If multiple board software packages are downloaded, use the character "|" to separate the names. For
example, ALL=1800|LRRUFDD..

Step 2 Enter the LMT complete package downloading information in WEBLMT.


NOTE
The value of WEBLMT can only be YES or NO (case-insensitive). If the value is YES, the LMPT supports
the download of the LMT complete package by using a USB flash drive. If the value isNO, the LMPT does
not support the download of the LMT complete package by using a USB flash drive.

----End

5.5 Encrypting Files in the USB Flash Drive


Integrity protection or encryption is required for the files in the USB flash drive to prevent
information leakage or unauthorized modification.

Prerequisites
l The files in the USB flash drive are ready.
l The USB security protection tool is ready, which is available in M2000 installation
folder \client\client\USBProtector on the computer where the M2000 client is installed.

About This Chapter

This chapter describes some common problems and solutions during commissioning.

6.1 Failing to Identify the USB Flash Drive


For eNodeB commissioning in hybrid mode using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive
locally and the M2000 remotely, eNodeB fails to identify the USB flash drive if the USB
indicator is off after the eNodeB is powered on and the USB flash drive is inserted.
6.2 Failing to Read Files in the USB Flash Drive
After the eNodeB is powered on for about 5 minutes, observe the RUN indicator on the LTE
main processing and transmission unit (LMPT) and Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive
indicator. If the RUN indicator does not blink (on for 0.125s and off for 0.125s) and the USB
flash drive indicator is off, the eNodeB fails to read files in the USB flash drive.
6.3 Failing to Activate the Software
After the eNodeB deployment is complete, log in to the eNodeB on the Web local maintenance
terminal (LMT). Then run the MML command LST SOFTWARE to check the eNodeB version
information. If the backup software version is the target version, the eNodeB succeeds in
downloading the software but fails to activate the software.
6.4 Failing to Download the Software Based on the Default Configuration File
After the eNodeB is deployed using a USB flash drive, the eNodeB does not download the board
software based on the board information configured in the default configuration file. For
example, based on the default configuration file, the Web LMT complete package should have
been downloaded. However, if you find a minimum LMT package was downloaded after logging
in to the eNodeB on the Web LMT, the eNodeB failed to download the software based on the
default configuration file.

2. Remove the USB flash drive and then power off the eNodeB. After about 1 minute, power
on the eNodeB and insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the LMPT. Redeploy
the eNodeB.
Step 2 Remote eNodeB commissioning on the M2000
Ensure that the version in the eNodeB deployment list is consistent with the target version. If it
is inconsistent with the target version, change the eNodeB deployment list according to the target
version and then redeploy the eNodeB.

6.4 Failing to Download the Software Based on the Default


Configuration File
After the eNodeB is deployed using a USB flash drive, the eNodeB does not download the board
software based on the board information configured in the default configuration file. For
example, based on the default configuration file, the Web LMT complete package should have
been downloaded. However, if you find a minimum LMT package was downloaded after logging
in to the eNodeB on the Web LMT, the eNodeB failed to download the software based on the
default configuration file.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the information in and saving path of the default configuration file. If they are incorrect,
modify the default configuration file.
l In scenarios without the security gateway (SeGW), see Preparing a USB Flash Drive for
Local Commissioning.
l In scenarios with the SeGW, see Preparing a USB Flash Drive for Local
Commissioning.
Step 2 Check whether the default configuration file is integrity protected. If it is not integrity protected,
see 5.5 Encrypting Files in the USB Flash Drive.
Step 3 Delete the board information not to be downloaded from the default configuration file.
Step 4 Check the software version in the USB flash drive and ensure the target version is not the same
as the active version.
NOTE
If the target version is the same as the active version, the eNodeB does not read the default configuration
file in the USB flash drive, which leads to the failure of downloading.
