Preparations for the Local eNodeB Commissioning Through the USB Storage Device  Before the local eNodeB commissioning through the USB storage device, you need to collect the related eNodeB information, arrange for commissioning tools and digital certificates, and save the required files to the USB storage device. 1. Before the local eNodeB commissioning through the USB storage device, you need to arrange for the related eNodeB information and tools. 2. When the security GW is deployed in the network, the eNodeB and the security GW have to identify each other through the digital certificate. Therefore, the digital certificate is required for the eNodeB commissioning. The digital certificate on the eNodeB side incorporates the operator's cross certificate signed by Huawei, operator's root certification authority (CA) certificate (or CA certificate chain with the root CA certificate), and operator's certificate revocation list (CRL). The digital certificate on the security GW side incorporates Huawei root CA certificate and Huawei CRL file. 3. Before the local eNodeB commissioning through the USB storage device, you need to save the required files in a specified directory of the USB storage device.
