About This Document

This describes the definitions, functions, logical objects, and other attributes of the software window of the Site Maintenance Terminal. The Site Maintenance Terminal is used to commission, maintain, and troubleshoot a BTS. 3 Getting Started with the Site Maintenance Terminal This describes how to connect the Site Maintenance Terminal PC to the BTS, log in to the Site Maintenance Terminal System, and exit the Site Maintenance Terminal, after the Site Maintenance Terminal application is installed. When the transmission is unavailable, you can configure the BTS on the SMT. When the transmission is available, you can only perform query operation on the SMT. 4 Using the Site Management Rights The operations of the site management rights involve obtaining the site management rights and releasing the site management rights. 5 Managing Sites The site management involves viewing site resources, querying the delay in reporting board alarms, resetting the BTS, testing whether the boards in a site operate normally and whether the connection of transmit links is normal, monitoring and managing the environment parameters in a site, viewing the board parameters of the BTS, testing the RF specifications, and viewing the parameter settings in a ring network and the bar codes of a site. 6 Managing Cells The cell management involves managing cell attributes and cell extended attributes, testing all the BTs and RCs of a cell so that they can be locked or unlocked, and checking whether the BTs and RCs are functional. 7 Managing BTs The BT management involves locking or unlocking a BT, resetting a BT, performing the RC self-test, view the status of the channels on a specified BT, and enabling a specified RC to transmit signals at a predefined power level. 8 Managing RCs The RC management involves setting the attributes and extended attributes of an RC, locking or unlocking an RC, resetting an RC, and adjusting power of an RC automatically. 9 Managing Channels The channel management involves viewing and setting channel attributes, locking or unlocking a channel, and checking the quality of a channel by testing the parameters such as the bit error ratio (BER) and transmit power. 10 BBU Operations The BBU operations involve the query, configuration, and test operations associated with the BBU. You can query the board settings, board information, board extended information, board alarms, and port attributes. You can also perform operations such as board reset, power-off reset, self-test, clock configuration, loopback test, and parameter management. 11 RRU Operations The RRU operations involve the query, configuration, and test operations associated with the RRU. You can query the board information, board extended information, and board alarms. You iv

5.7 Testing Sites This describes how to perform tests on boards that are configured in the site, and then return the test results. If the tests succeed, it indicates that the boards are running normally. If the tests fail, it indicates that the boards are running abnormally. 5.8 Monitoring Environment This function is performed to monitor and manage the environment parameters in a site. By performing this function, you can view the current temperature and humidity and set the temperature and humidity thresholds. The BTS can run normally in a safe and suitable site environment. You can also clear a burglar alarm or a smoke alarm and disable an EAC alarm. 5.9 Obtaining and Viewing BTS Logs This describes how to obtain the compressed BTS log files of the and how to view the BTS logs 5.10 Testing Transmission Performance This describes how to perform an E1 loopback test and a timeslot loopback test to check whether the transmission link is normal. 5.11 Querying Alarm Delay Time This function is performed to query the alarm delay time of boards. 5.12 Querying the Ring Topology Parameters This function is performed to query the ring topology parameters, including the working direction of a site in the ring topology (Port 0 is forward link and port 1 is reverse link) and the indication of auto rotate in the ring topology. If automatic rotation is permitted, the result also involves the waiting time before rotation and the scheduled time for attempts before rotation. 5.13 Querying the Bar Codes This describes how to query the bar codes of the boards configured in a site. 5.14 Managing the RET Antenna This function is performed to query and set parameters of the Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) antenna connected to the BTS. 5.15 Configuring IP over E1 In IP over E1 mode, DHCP broadcasting detection fails if an intermediate transmission device not supporting DHCP relay is involved. To solve this problem, configure PPP or MLPPP links, static IP address, and routes on the SMT. In this case, PPP or MLPPP links are established after the BTS is reset, and the BTS obtains the configuration through unicast DHCP. 5.16 Setting the Static IP Address of the IP over FE BTS This section describes how to set the static IP address of the IPoFE BTS. In the case of layer 3 networking, the intermediate transport equipment cannot implement the DHCP relay function and the DHCP broadcast detection cannot be implemented. In this case, you can set the static IP address on the BTS side, and the BTS obtains the configuration information through the unicast DHCP. The static IP configuration involves the IP address and route, which can be set and queried. 5.17 Using IP-Related Functions Before the BTS is connected to the BSC, you are required to configure an IP address of the BTS for debugging. Thus, the Ping and Tracert functions can be performed on the BSC or intermediate transport equipment. In this way, you can learn the status of the link between the BTS and the BSC or intermediate transport equipment. 5.18 Loading Software Package The required software can be loaded to the main control board or other boards by FTP.

Step 3 On the Config IP tab page, set the IP addresses of the BTS and BSC and other related parameters. NOTE

l The IP addresses and VLAN parameters can be set only after Static IP Status is set to Enable. l In IP over FE mode, Com Type can be set to Port IP or Logical IP. If Com Type is set to Port IP, you only need to set the IP address of the BTS and do not need to set the IP address of FE0 or FE1. If Com Type is set to Logical IP, you need to set the IP addresses of the BTS, FE0, and FE1 when the active/standby route of the BTS is required in the remote BSC data planning. l The IP address of the BSC is the IP address of the interface board on the BSC that connects the BTS to the BSC. l When an Ethernet cable is connected to the FE0 port on the GTMU, set the Port No to 0. When an optical cable is connected to the FE1 port on the GTMU, set the Port No to 1.

Step 4 Click Config Para to complete the settings of the IP addresses and VLAN parameters. Step 5 Click the Config Router tab. On the Config Router tab page, set the route of the BTS, as shown in Figure 5-38.

Step 6 Click Add to add a route. NOTE

l To add another route, repeat Step 5 through Step 6. To delete a route, select the route to be deleted, and then click Delete. l In the static IP network, the BTS cannot automatically obtain the route. All the routes must be set on the BTS side. When the IP address of the BTS is the port IP address, you need to set both the route to the port IP address of the BSC and the route to the service IP address of the BSC. When the IP address of the BTS is the device IP address, you need to set both the route to the port IP address and service IP address of the BSC for each port of the BTS. l A new route will overwrite the original route. To delete all the static IP addresses, set Static IP Status to Disable on the Config IP tab page.

Step 7 Click Config Para to complete the setting of the route. Step 8 Click the Query tab. On the Query tab page, click Query to query the static IP addresses, as shown in Figure 5-39.

RRU Operations

About This Chapter The RRU operations involve the query, configuration, and test operations associated with the RRU. You can query the board information, board extended information, and board alarms. You can also perform operations such as the board reset, power-off reset, operation start, self-test, loopback test, parameter management, and antenna mode configuration.

Prerequisite NOTE

Obtain the site management rights before writing data; otherwise, you may not be able to write data, for example, configuring a Board. You can read data from the BTS without the site management rights.

Context NOTE

On the Site Maintenance Terminal System, operating the RRU3004 is similar to operating the RRU3008. This node takes the RRU3004 as an example.
