Overview
Use this scenario to change the O&M extraction point for an 9130 BSC Evolution.
The BSCs can have O&M over Ethernet or O&M over Ater, but one BSC cannot be used
with both O&M over Ethernet and O&M over Ater connections at the same time.
The Atermux links used for O&M transport must be consecutive. A dedicated GPRS
Atermux link cannot be used to carry O&M flow. If O&M transport is needed on a
dedicated Ater mux, use Move Dedicated GPRS Link into Direct CS Link or Move
Dedicated GPRS Link into Mixed CS / GPRS Link before starting the procedure to
change the O&M extraction point.
In both the initial and final states, the 9153 OMC-R is connected to the Ethernet LAN
using one IP link.

Overview Presentation
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Together with O&M over Ater, O&M extraction at the MSC site decreases the cost of the
9153 OMC-R / BSC connection by using the BSS's own transport network instead of an
external IP network for the O&M data flow between the 9153 OMC-R and the remote
9130 BSC Evolution. When O&M is routed over Ater, if the MSC does not support the
SPC function, O&M must be extracted at the TC side.
In the case of O&M over Ethernet, the 9130 BSC Evolution communicates with the 9153
OMC-R via the active OMCP board through Ethernet switches. When the link through
one switch is out of order, the communication continues through the second Ethernet
switch if a redundant link is provided between the BSC and LAN.
In the case of O&M extraction at the TC or at MSC side, the 9130 BSC Evolution
communicates with the 9153 OMC-R using O&M over Ater through a number of Ater
links. The default and recommended value is four Ater for one 9130 BSC Evolution, but
any value between 2 and 16 can be configured. The bandwidth is proportional with the
number of Ater mux links having O&M timeslots allocated for this purpose.
The following figures illustrate the main solutions for O&M extraction:
• Direct O&M
• O&M over Ater, MSC Routed
• O&M over Ater, TC Routed.
In order to change O&M extraction point for more than one 9130 BSC Evolution, apply
the complete scenario for each BSC, one after another.

• BSS O&M Routing Configurations
• BSS Configuration Handbook
• BSS Surveillance Handbook
• Network Reconfiguration Recommendations
The specific documents applicable to this scenario are:

Preparation
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
• No other configuration modification is allowed in the network
• The corresponding router must be installed and configured.
For more details about how to install and configure router refer to the document BSS
O&M Routing Configurations .
• For C1 or C6:
As follows:
– The MSC must be operational and ready for the change
– Ensure you have enough available timeslots on the existing PCM link between the
MSC and Cisco router. Otherwise, ensure you have one more available port.
• For C2 or C3:
As follows:
– The TC must be operational and ready for the change.
– Ensure you have enough serial ports to connect each X.21 Ater mux carrying
O&M.
• For C1 or C2, verify that for each 9130 BSC Evolution, the Ater mux links intended
to be used for O&M over Ater are connected and operational
• Availability of a local PC.

Change Extraction Point

Procedure
Change the extraction point:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Before modifying the extraction point or before adding ML-PPP links, you must remove
the GPRS from the impacted Ater mux links. Perform the following actions for all
impacted Ater mux links:
• If it is the last GSL of the GP in a Multi-GP, Lock GPRS on Cells from GP to stop
GPRS on all cells mapped on the GP
• If it is the last GSL on the BSC, Lock GPRS on BSS
• If one of the previous two operations was performed, then Lock NS-VC
• If GSL is activated on the Ater mux, Lock GSL
• If TC transparency is enabled and Gb is configured through TC, delete Gb resources:
Delete NS-VC and Delete NSE
• Unreserve Ater Timeslots for GPRS
• If TC transparency is enabled, change it to disabled (mandatory)
• If GSL is activated on the Ater mux, when a question appears, click on OK
• The configuration state in the BSC part of the Ater Supervision window becomes In
progress. Wait until Available appears in this window.
• If the Abis/Ater window is opened, during the audit, the following message appears:
Abis/Ater view is not up to date! It will be reloaded! Click on
OK
• Align GPRS Configuration on One TP.
(The MFS part of the Ater Supervision window is then updated).
• Unlock Released CS Timeslot on concerned Ater mux links and verify (see “Display
A Channels Synthesis Window” (p. 2-32)) if the previous GPRS timeslots are now CS
timeslots and unlocked.
Case/Option None.

Time/Task 40 min. + 40 sec./ TS
Outage STARTO (reduction)
Refer to “Telecom / Supervision Outage and Operating Impact” (p. 1-17).
Note: Write down the GPRS configuration for all impacted Ater mux links, as you
need to set the GPRS to the initial values after successfully changing the extraction
point.
