1 Introduction

1.1 Scope
This Operational Instruction describes the procedure to replace a Base Station
Controller (BSC) Network Interface Ethernet (NWI-E) in an operational BSC,
and configure the new BSC NWI-E.

Some steps in the procedure must be performed on-site.

This Operational Instruction may end with consulting next level of maintenance.

It is often possible to rebuild a configuration by analyzing the working BSC

NWI-E,, but that operation
NWI-E operation is outside
outside the scope of this Operational
