 The OM entities of the BSC6900 are the M2000, Web LMT, and CME.
 As the centralized NMS, the M2000 retains the original functions and OM channel.
 The LMT functions are Web-based; no client is provided, and therefore installation is not
required; the version coupling is cancelled; joint client upgrade is not involved.

Comparison Between the BSC6900 LMT and the
BSC6000 LMT (1)
 The BSC6900 adopts the Web LMT that does not require a client or installation.
Through the BSC6900 Web site you can access the Web LMT.
 You can run MML commands on the Web LMT to implement OM and configuration
functions of BSC6900 GSM and BSC6900 UMTS.
 The Web LMT cancels version coupling and does not involve joint client upgrade.
 After the OM focus is transferred to the upper layer, the usage habits of some
functions are changed.
 After the configuration function of the original LMT version is transferred to the upper layer,
the single-point configuration and OM operation mode of the original BSC6000 LMT are
changed, that is, some operations require interface swap. For example, after a BTS is
added on the CME, you need to check the transmission status of the BTS through the
Web LMT.
 Improvement: The OM function on the M2000 will be further enhanced to make the
configuration interface and OM interface unified and make the OM work centralized.

Bandwidth
requirements
When the Web LMT is used, the bandwidth between
the Web LMT and the connected NE is required to be
higher than 512 kbit/s. If the bandwidth is lower than
512 kbit/s, the performance of the Web LMT is poor; if
the bandwidth is higher than 2 Mbit/s, the performance
of the Web LMT is the optimal performance.
It does not require
much bandwidth and
can function properly
with the bandwidth of
64 kbit/s.
Memory requirements
The memory (IE+java) used by the Web LMT for
logging in to a BSC is 120 MB. Therefore, it is
recommended that the maximum number of Web
LMTs started on the PC with 512 MB memory be 3 or 4.
One client uses 40 MB
to 50 MB memory.
Therefore, more than
10 clients can be
started on the PC with
512 MB memory.

Logging in to the Web LMT
 Enter the IP address of the BSC6900 to be accessed into the address bar of the IE
to enter the Web LMT login interface.
 Install the Java plugin before using the Web LMT for the first time.

Web LMT Interface
 After you log in, the MML graphical interface is directly displayed.

Web LMT Progress Interface
 The information loading progress is displayed in the progress management area.
 The common progress information, BTS progress information, and BTS activation
progress information are displayed on three tab pages separately.
 The OMU time is displayed.
 The progress packet is displayed.
 The connection status is displayed. If the network is unstable, automatic connection can
prevent disconnection.

Batch Processing
 Scripts can be executed in
batches in full mode, single-step
mode, and breakpoint mode.
 The Web LMT can record the
execution result.
 The Web LMT provides the
assistant function to generate
scripts of the same type in
batches.
 The Web LMT supports batch processing and can execute multiple MML commands
concurrently. The maximum size of the
MML command file that the Web LMT can load is 4 MB.
 Click Batch in the Web LMT interface, and then the batch processing interface is displayed.

File Manager
 The file manager is an LMT component that enables file uploading and downloading
between the LMT and the OMU. The functions of the file manager are the same as those of
the FTP client, for example, log obtaining and data configuration file uploading.
 The file manager addresses the issue that file transfer is unavailable because the FTP
interface is disabled due to network isolation.

Language Setting
 By default, the data transmission between the OMU and Web LMT does not support the
Western European character set (for example, Spanish). Therefore, if BTS names contain
Western European characters, language setting is required; otherwise, the Western
European characters that the Web LMT obtains are illegible characters.
 Language setting does not refer to setting the language in the Web LMT interface.
 Language setting refers to setting the character set for data transmission between the
NE and the Web LMT.

Configuration Right
 Enabling configuration right management
 Function: By default, the configuration right is disabled. Enable the configuration management
right, and then you can obtain the data configuration right.

Configuration Mode
 Effective mode
 Function: After the system configuration data is modified, the data needs to be delivered to
the corresponding physical board and take effect. For example, after the data of a present
board is modified, the modification is considered successful only after the data is delivered
from the OMU to the board and takes effect on the board.
 Command: SET CFGDATAEFFECTIVE
 Ineffective mode
 Function: A physical board can be configured even if the board is not present. For example,
the data of a board can be modified even if the board is not present. In this case, the
configuration operations are performed only on the OMU.
 Command: SET CFGDATAINEFFECTIVE
 The configuration mode granularity is subrack; when a subrack is added, the subrack
is in the online state; swaps can be implemented through commands.
 Offline configuration is applicable to batch data execution in initial configuration or
upgrade, to expansion configuration, and to the scenario where partial data is
inconsistent.

BSC Software Management
 Function description
 The software loading process involves two operations. First, load the software from the OMU
to the working area of the board; after the loading, the software running on the board is not
changed. Then, reset the board, and then the software running on the board is changed to
the loaded one. A series of commands are provided for comparison and synchronization to
learn about the relationship among the software on the working area of the board, software
running on the board, and software on the OMU.
 Application scenario
 Run CMP BRDVER to check whether the version of the software on the OMU is the same as
that of the software running on the board. If not, run LOD BRD to load the required software
to the working area of the board, and then reset the board so that the software running on the
board is the same as that on the OMU. Then, you can run CMP BRDAREA to check whether
the software on the OMU is the same as that on the working area of the board. If not, run
SYN BRDAREA to synchronize the software on the OMU with that on the working area of the
board. For the board in the remote subrack, run SYN FS to load the software to the relay
server of the remote subrack, and then run SYN BRDAREA to load the software to the
working area of the board.

BSC Patch Management
 The patch-related operations such as loading, rollback, activation, deactivation, deletion,
confirmation, and query. A one-key patch installation command is provided to facilitate
operation. That command combines the operations such as loading, activation, and
confirmation.
 Application scenario
 After a patch is loaded, the patch is in the deactive state and needs to be activated. After
being activated, the patch runs in trial mode. During the trial use period, if an exception
occurs, the patch can be deactivated to stop running. If the patch runs properly during the
trial use period, you can confirm the patch. Then, the patch runs automatically even if the
board is reset. Perform the preceding operations in order. Alternatively, you can use one-key
installation to load, activate, and confirm a patch. You can query the current patch and the
versions for rollback, and then you can roll back the patch to an earlier version. You can
delete a patch at any time, and then you need to load the patch again.

BTS Software Management
 An upgrade operation takes at least five minutes. Currently, the
BSC6900 supports up to 2048 BTSs. If only the single-BTS upgrade
mode is supported, the upgrade of the BSC6900 takes a huge time
of 170 hours. With the BTS software management function, you can
upgrade the software of multiple BTSs of a BSC at a time.
 The BTS software upgrade process involves the operations of
downloading the BTS software to the OMU, loading the software, and
activating the software.
 MML commands: DLD BTSSW for downloading; LOD BTSSW for
loading; ACT BTSSW for activation.
 You can upgrade the software of up to 100 BTSs of a BSC, and
only BTS software version can be loaded at a time.
 The BSC6900 only supports the BTS software version package
mode for BTS software upgrade.

BTS Software Management
You can upgrade
the software of
different types of
BTSs. Each BTS
controls its
software loading
process
independently. You
can stop the
ongoing software
loading process of
any BTS and does
not affect the
loading progress of
other BTSs.

BTS Patch Management
 The BSC6900 supports the BTS patch operations of downloading, loading, activation,
deactivation, confirmation, deletion, and query.
 The BSC6900 only supports the BTS software patch package mode for BTS patch upgrade.

Convert Management System - Overview
 The convert management system runs on the PC where the
LMT is installed. It is connected to the product BAM and the
alarm box through the network port and the serial port
respectively. It forwards the alarm commands and alarm
information from the BAM to the alarm box, and thus the alarm
box can interwork with the LMT.
 Provided functions:
 The convert management system communicates with the
BAM and the alarm box through the network port and the
serial port respectively.
 It forwards the operation commands (including querying the
alarm indicator status, querying the version number of the
alarm box, turning off the alarm indicator, stopping the
alarm sound, and resetting the alarm box) of users for the
alarm box so that users can operate the alarm box through
the LMT.
