About This Document
Overview
This document describes how to use a Service Aware Unit (SAU) board in the GSM network,
including hardware installation, software installation, IP address configuration, operation and
maintenance, and common operation methods. After the SAU board is installed, the Nastar
delivers end-to-end tasks to the SAU board. Then, the SAU is triggered to perform data
collection and preprocessing.

SAU User Guide (Nastar Service Components) 2 SAU Board Introduction
2 SAU Board Introduction
The SAU board collects data reported by the NEs and preprocesses the collected data. The
preprocessed data is uploaded to the Nastar through the U2000 and eCoordinator.
NOTE
The SAU boards in this guide refer to the SAUa boards and SAUc boards.
SAU Board Function

An SAU board collects, filters, and summarizes the Call History Record (CHR) data and the
Measurement Report (MR) data reported by host boards. The processed data are uploaded to
the Nastar periodically.
NOTE
If an SAU board is first installed with the Nastar service component and then the EBC and EMS service
components, the following functions will become unavailable:
l Voice black box
l Real-time reporting of standard PCHR messages
l CPU and memory usage reporting to the U2000 for the SAU board
To solve this issue, uninstall all service components and then re-install them. When installing them, first
install the EBC and EMS service components and then the Nastar service component. You are advised to
perform this operation in the early morning, because component uninstallation will affect SAU services
and this operation takes approximately 50 minutes.
SAU Board Network Position

Figure 2-1 shows the position of an SAU board on the network.

SAU User Guide (Nastar Service Components) 2 SAU Board Introduction
Figure 2-1 SAU board position on the network
The SAU board is inserted in a subrack of a base station controller.

In Figure 2-1, the external network refers to the network composed of the Nastar, U2000, and
SAU; the internal network refers to the network composed of the OMU and SAU boards.
l For the Nastar:
– Filters and aggregates raw data reported by NEs according to the rule for Nastar
thematic tasks.
– Sends data preprocessing results to the Nastar through the U2000 for the Nastar to
perform thematic service analysis.

installing and commissioning an SAU board, reinstalling and commissioning an SAU board,
and replacing an SAU board.

If... Then...
USB ports on the SAU board need Run the SET OMUPORT:
to be enabled PORTTYPE=USB, SW=ON; command.
USB ports on the SAU board need Run the SET OMUPORT:
to be disabled PORTTYPE=USB, SW=OFF; command.
Ports for commissioning on the SAU Run the SET OMUPORT:

board need to be enabled PORTTYPE=ETH_TEST, SW=ON;
command.
Ports for commissioning on the SAU Run the SET OMUPORT:

board need to be disabled PORTTYPE=ETH_TEST, SW=OFF;
command.
NOTE
If the SAU board runs the Windows, Suse Linux, or Dopra Linux V100R001C0 3.1 operating
system, users can enable or disable the USB ports and ports for commissioning on the SAU board,
but the configurations do not take effect.
l Query the status of USB ports and ports for commissioning on the SAU board.
If... Then...
The status of USB ports on the SAU Run the LST OMUPORT:
board needs to be queried PORTTYPE=USB; command.
The status of ports for commissioning Run the LST OMUPORT:

on the SAU board needs to be queried PORTTYPE=ETH_TEST; command.
l Query the running status of USB ports and ports for commissioning on the SAU board.

BSC6900 GSM
If... Then...
The running status of USB ports Run the DSP OMUPORT: PORTTYPE=USB;
on the SAU board needs to be command. The running status can be Available,
queried Unavailable, or Unknown.
The running status of ports for Run the LST OMUPORT:

commissioning on the SAU board PORTTYPE=ETH_TEST; command. The
needs to be queried running status can be Available, Unavailable, or
Unknown.
NOTE
l If the running status of USB ports is Unknown, operations on the USB flash drives connected
to these ports will fail.
l If USB ports and ports for commissioning on the SAU board are disabled and the SAU board
detects that no OMU boards are running, the SAU board automatically enables its USB ports
and ports for commissioning. In this manner, users can commission the SAU board using these
ports. In other cases, if a USB port is enabled (or disabled), all USB ports on the SAU board
will be enabled (or disabled) regardless of the hardware type of USB flash drives.
