1 Install and Start the BTS NEM

1 Install and Start the BTS NEMThis section tells you how to install the terminal hardware and software and then start it. It describes the terminal and its requirements.


11 / 132


1.1 BTS NEM DescriptionThe Network Element Manager for a BTS (BTS NEM) is a software package used for managing, maintaining and commissioning a BTS. It should also run on OMC site. For more information about the BTS, refer to the 9100 BTS/9110/9110-E Functional Description. You can use the BTS NEM to: Initiate actions in the BTS and view reports associated with these actions Observe system behavior Perform local/remote management functions such as monitoring alarms, events, and states.

1.1.1 BTS NEM ConnectionWith IP transport we have three kinds of connection seen from BTS: Local connection Remote connection NEM as a foreign application embedded in OMC-R. Local Connection Local connection can be done via front panel NEM connector on the SUM board (which needs to open the NE door with a key). From this point, the PC-NEM with local access is named Local PC-NEM. Remote Connection This is possible from anywhere within the network as far as the routing/firewall allows it. A Remote Connection can also be on a switch port physically located near the BTS, which needs the port to be enabled and physical access to the port. In the following, the PC-NEM with remote access is named Remote PC-NEM.

12 / 132



Note: A new parameter NEM-IP-Forwarding-inside-BTS (True/False) is introduced in order to enable/disable routing to the NEM in each BTS. NEM on OMC site The NEM is launched on the OMC site for a dedicated BTS. This is also a remote PC-NEM on OMC site. NEM is launched from OMC on a client PC (running Windows), using Java Web Start. Local and remote PC-NEM use IP to connect BTS. There are 2 possibilities to connect the PC-NEM: Serial connection to BTS Ethernet connection. Serial connection to BTS Local IP connection using IP/PPP over RS232 for SUMA/P only. Note: Local connection without IP stack with MMI/RS232 for SUMA/P is supported only for initial commissioning (SUMA/P factory does not support IP). Ethernet connection The Ethernet local or remote connection is realized either: through a point to point Ethernet link to the concerned BTS for the SUMX, or connecting the PC-NEM on the IP backbone. If a transmission failure in either direction is detected, a retransmission is attempted automatically. If the transmission is unsuccessful after three attempts, the terminal software informs you that the interface is malfunctioning. If transmission is unsuccessful: Check that the cable is connected correctly between the terminal and the BTS Restart the BTS NEM software (see Start the BTS NEM Software (Section 1.3)).


13 / 132


1.1.2 Protocols and NodesPC-NEM has to communicate with several external entities. The following picture describes which interfaces are used to access all required entities.

Figure 1: Protocols and Nodes used to access remote BTS The main protocols used are: RADIUS in conjunction with 802.1x for port-based network access control DHCP for NEM IP address assignment.

1.1.3 Security specificationThe BTS NEM, as FTP server for BTS, reaches through port 64769 for FTP commands and it uses the port 64768 for data connection. The TCP ports 64769 and 64768 must be unfiltered to avoid deployment issues.

14 / 132



1.1.4 Users TypesFour type of users are used: dynamic users for all normal access cases (from remote and local NEM) User data is managed in an external authentication database (e.g. RADIUS server & LDAP database). one default user for special access (local access only) Login with default user name and password should be limited to very strict conditions: Access is only local (via front panel). Security is ensured by the physical access locally to the BTS. This can happen in two cases: During initial installation & commissioning when no network connection is available During normal operation due to failure of the RADIUS server itself or of the network one emergency user for special access (also used for remote connection) This user can be used when the password chain is broken in order to renew it. Login with emergency user name and password should be limited to very strict conditions. same pushed users from local and remote NEM User data is NOT managed in an external authentication database (e.g. RADIUS server & LDAP database), these users have were pushed in the BTS.

4.2.3.2 Modify Abis MappingAbis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs and their signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for each TRE in the order of selection. For instance if TRE 1 and TRE 4 are selected, then time slots 1, 2 are allocated to TRE1 and time slots 4, 5 to TRE 4 (time slot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocated TCHs and time slots, as required. The current configuration is displayed by default. Change Signal Multiplexing The Signalling drop-down menu allows you to change the mode of Signal Multiplexing. This defines how many time slots on the Abis Interface are occupied by signaling traffic for a given number of TCHs. Modify Abis Mapping -64 kbit/s You can assign 64 kBit signaling channels to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system, but manual allocation is possible. The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a warning message and aborts the configuration. To modify the Abis Mapping, using 64 kbit/s: 1. Open the "SUM Board Configuration - Abis Mapping" window with the menu path: Configuration -> Transmission Settings... -> Abis Mapping The "SUM Board Configuration - Abis Mapping" window is displayed. Wait until the current configuration is displayed. 2. Select the TRE range 3. Select the required Abis interface. The TRE is automatically assigned two TCHs and a signaling time slot. The signaling is automatically set to 64 kBit. 4. Repeat Step (3) until all required TREs are assigned. If a data transmission rate of 64 kBit for signaling (per two traffic channels) is selected, a maximum of 10 TREs can be assigned. If you attempt to exceed this number, a warning message is displayed.

44 / 132



In the event that more than 10 TREs require assignment to a single Abis link, a reduction of the data transmission rate is required, refer to Abis Mapping 16 kbit/s. 5. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation. 6. Click on [ OK ] to save the settings. Modify Abis Mapping -16 kbit/s You can assign 16 kBit signaling channels to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system, but manual allocation is possible. The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a warning message and aborts the configuration, upon attempted transmission. To modify the Abis Mapping, using 16 kbit: 1. Open the "SUM Board Configuration - Abis Mapping" window by selecting: Configuration -> Transmission Settings... -> Abis Mapping The "SUM Board Configuration - Abis Mapping" window displayed.
