1 Introduction to the Site Maintenance Terminal System

About This Chapter

The following table lists the contents of this chapter.

Title Description

1.1 Terminal Maintenance and

Site Maintenance Terminal

System

This section introduces terminal maintenance and the Site

Maintenance Terminal System. It also introduces the

BTS3012AE logical objects and the Site Maintenance

Terminal System window.

1.2 Terminal Maintenance

Items and Remote

Maintenance

This section lists the terminal maintenance items and

remote maintenance items for comparison.

1.1 Terminal Maintenance and Site Maintenance Terminal System

Terminal maintenance refers to the maintenance on a BTS (BTS3012AE) through a PC after

you install terminal maintenance software on the PC. The PC can be a desktop or laptop, but a

laptop is preferred. Such a PC with terminal maintenance software is referred to as the Site

Maintenance Terminal System hereinafter.

Before performing terminal maintenance on a BTS, connect the Site Maintenance Terminal

System to the BTS through a crossover cable. The connection is as follows:

� One end of the crossover network cable connects to the man-machine interactive (MMI)

port on the Transmission/Timing/Management Unit for DTRU BTS (DTMU).

� The other end of the cable connects to network port of the Site Maintenance Terminal

System.

1.1.1 Logical Objects

The logical objects in the BTS3012AE Site Maintenance Terminal System cover sites, cells,

baseband transceivers (BT), channels (CH), and radio carriers (RC).

Figure 1-1 shows the relationship between the logical objects.

Figure 1-1 Relationship between logical objects

Table 1-1 lists the two management states of logical objects.

Table 1-1 Management states of the logical objects

Management State Description

Locked Teleservices are not allowed.

Unlocked Teleservices are allowed.




System


Management state indicates whether a logical object can be managed. Management right determines

whether you have the right to set the parameters of the BTSs through the Site Maintenance Terminal

System.

1.2 Terminal Maintenance Items and Remote Maintenance Items

The BTS3012AE can be maintained locally or remotely. Remote maintenance is implemented

after a connection is established between the remote Site Maintenance System and the BTS.

Terminal maintenance is implemented after a direct connection between the Site Maintenance

Terminal System and the BTS.

2.1 Connecting the Site Maintenance Terminal System to the BTS

To connect the Site Maintenance Terminal System to the BTS through a crossover network

cable, do as follows:

� Connect one end of the cable to the MMI port on the DTMU.

� Connect the other end of the cable to the network port of the Site Maintenance Terminal

System (your PC).

2.2 Starting the Site Maintenance Terminal System

Before starting the Site Maintenance Terminal System, set the IP address and subnet mask for it, and

ensure that the IP address is in one network segment with the IP address of the BTS (129.12.15.15). If

the IP address of the Site Maintenance Terminal System is a different network segment, you cannot start

the Site Maintenance Terminal System.

To start the Site Maintenance Terminal System, perform as the following steps:

Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > Huawei GSM-OMC > SITE Maintenance Terminal System

If the communication between your computer and the BTS is established, the Site

Maintenance Terminal System window is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-1. The Site

Maintenance Terminal System is started successfully.




Figure 2-1 Site Maintenance Terminal System window

If the communication between your computer and the BTS is not established, a

Communication failed dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-2. The Site

Maintenance Terminal System fails to start, go to the next step.

Figure 2-2 Communication failed

Step 2 Click Yes.

The Set Communication Port Parameter dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-3.

Step 3 In the Select Communication Port list box, choose Network Port. In the Configure IP list

box, set the IP address of the DTMU to 129.12.15.15 (default IP address). Click OK.

The Site Maintenance Terminal System window is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-1. It

means that the Site Maintenance Terminal System starts successfully.

----End

2.3 Logging In to the Site Maintenance Terminal System

To perform operation and maintenance on the BTS, log in to the Site Maintenance Terminal

System first. The login procedure is as follows:

Step 1 Choose User > Login.

The User Login dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-4.




Figure 2-4 Logging in to the Site Maintenance Terminal System

Step 2 Enter the user name and user password, and click OK.

� If the login succeeds, the User Login dialog box is automatically closed. You can

operate the BTS.

� If the login fails, an error message is displayed.

The initial user name is Omc (case sensitive) and the password is omc (case sensitive). After logging in

to the system, you can change the password.

3.1 Site Management Right

Function Description

The site management right refers to the right to set parameters of the BTS.

You can set the parameters for the BTS through:

� the remote Site Maintenance System

� the Site Maintenance Terminal System

After the BTS powers on, the remote Site Maintenance System obtains the site management

right by default.

Pay attention to the following points when you operate the BTS through the Site Maintenance

Terminal System.

� Obtain the site management right before writing data; otherwise, you cannot write data,

for example, you cannot download software forcedly or activate software. With the site

management right, you can read data from the BTS.

� When you operate the BTS through the Site Maintenance Terminal System, you cannot

write data to the BTS through the remote Site Maintenance System.

� You cannot operate the BTS through the Site Maintenance Terminal System and the

remote Site Maintenance System at the same time.

� When you obtain the site management right through the Site Maintenance Terminal

System, you cannot execute some O&M commands on the remote Site Maintenance

System.

� After finishing an operation, release the site management right.

Operation Procedure

To obtain the site management right, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Start the Site Maintenance Terminal System.

Step 2 Select a site, and then double-Select a site Management Right in the right pane in the Site

Maintenance Terminal System window.

The Site Management Right dialog box is displayed.

Step 3 Click Get.

The operation result is displayed in the dialog box, as shown in Figure 3-1.




Figure 3-1 Obtaining site management right successfully

After the operation is complete, release the site management right in time so that the O&M operation

can be implemented through the remote Site Maintenance System.

If no operation is implemented through the Site Maintenance Terminal System for continual 15 minutes,

the site management right is automatically released to the remote Site Maintenance System.

----End

The procedure for releasing the site management right is as follows:

Step 1 Select a site, and then double-Select a site Management Right in the right pane.

The Site Management Right dialog box is displayed.

Step 2 Click Release.

The operation result is displayed in the dialog box, as shown in Figure 3-2.
