Follow the below mentioned steps in order to commission a node B in RBS 6000 family.

1. Power on the Node B.

2. Ensure every card is powered on, otherwise check connections in PDU (for 6202)
3. Log in to DUW with CLI cable at LMT A port.
The cable pin configuration is as follow:
RJ45 - 1 2 3
9 Pin - 5 3 2
4. Configure your system with USB to Serial Driver. Connect the CLI cable with your
laptop via USB to serial adapter. Once driver software has been successfully installed
at your system, the cable will be detected. Check communication port at Device
Manager.
5. Open HyperTerminal. Follow the steps shown below:

Name the new connection:

Select the com port as it was detected in Device Manager.

Click on Restore default to have 9600 bits per second speed. Then click apply and ok.

9.

Hyper Terminal window will now be opened.

Check Volumes of existing Node B. Type: vols .
Drive C and D should be cleared from all data. Format D drive first.
In order to format, Node B is required to be in Back up mode for local
manipulation. Type reload -- and
Follow the steps shown below:

Format Drive D. Type formathd /d

Again make the Node B in back up mode by typing reload and format C drive by
typing : formathd /c2 . (Note : drive C2 can only be observed in Back up mode, since
its mounted on C )

Check the vols , now sizes for both the drives are zero .
10. Again make the node b in Back up mode. Type: reload
11. Provide default IP to Node B.
Type: ifconfig le0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

12. Now keep the node B in Basic mode : type : reload

13. Now LAN connection between Node b and Laptop is to be established.
Follow the below instructions:
Connect LAN cable ( straight/cross) to the LAN port of laptop and terminate the other
end at LMT B port of node B.
In the network connections of your laptop, make following LAN settings.

IP: 169.254.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 169.254.1.1
18. Make a FTP connection between laptop and Node B. Compatible versions of
WINCMD32 (5.0.0.0) or Total Commander (7.04a) can be used for the same. Process is
as follow:

Go to Net. Then click on FTP Connect:

Either edit the existing connection or create a new connection.

Session: Give a name of the ftp connection.

Host name: 169.254.1.1 (Default IP of the Node)
User Name: rbs
Password: rbs

At the left side windows, representing local system (laptop) go to the folder where
software for that Node is stored, for example W10 R1J02
19. Transfer the load modules from laptop to Node B by dragging c2 and d and drop it to
right side window, representing Node B.

20. Software dump, containing all load modules will be transferred to Node B. For this
communication, Node B is used as server and laptop as client.

Click on ok.

21. Once the software is being transferred to Node,

Type: reload
-to hyper terminal in order to execute all the loaded modules.

22. Once Log in server ready message appears at hyper terminal window, log in to
Element Manager. Make sure that Java file version 5.0.110.3 or above is installed at your
system.
If you dont have Element Manager installed at your system, you can download it from
Node B.
Open your system browser say Internet Explorer and provide the URL as follow:
https://169.254.1.1/em/index.html

23. Once GUI connection through Element Manager is established, we need to configure
following things:
Cabinet: manually or via scripts if available
Need to run three main scripts:
A. OAM script
B. External Hardware Script
C. Iub Script
Follow the steps as shown below:
Cabinet Configuration:

Go to Tool and select Cabinet Equipment Configuration.

Check use configuration file and browse to the path where the script is saved. Otherwise
click on next for manual configuration of script.

For manual configuration of Node B:

Select RBS product Name as per the Node B and make Climate system to Standard.
Provide Production date, Product name, Product Number, Product revision and Serial No.
according to the information, written on Node B.
Select Radio Building Block and line rate as per design.
Normally for
6202/6601: RBB12_1A
6202/6601: E*2/O*2
is used.

Once all the fields are filled up click next.

Before you click on finish, check the summary.

Click on yes to restart the Node.

Cabinet is successfully configured. Create a CV for the same. Process is explained later.
OAM Access Configuration:
Go to Tools and select OAM Access Configuration to run OAM scripts. Process is same
as cabinet configuration wizard. Need to select use configuration file and browse to
the path where the script is saved. Then pass the wizard by clicking on next. Follow the
below screenshots:

Click on OK .

OAM Access configuration is successfullu completed.

Create a CV for the same.

Site Equipment Configuration:
Go to Tools and select Site Equipment Configuration.

Run the wizard similar to that of OAM.

Check Use configuration file and browse to the path where the script was saved and
select the script and run it.

Click on next and pass the pages, check the fields , which are configured with the inputs ,
defined in script.

Note: No need to configure SAU if external alarms are not extended.

Ext. Hardware script is successfully run.

Create a CV for the same.

Run Iub Script:

Go to Tools. Select Run Command File.

Browse the path to select the script.

Select File Location as Client.

Check on Halt on errors and Verbose logging.

Once the script is run successfully, a message configuration succeeded will appear.

Now Node B is completely configured and ready to radiate once media is terminated to it.
After running Iub script, create a CV (Configuration Version). The process is as follow:
1. Go to software.
2. select the tab CV
3. Click on create CV, give a CV name (Space and special characters are not
accepted by Node).
4. Add it to the rollback list.
5. Apply it to Set Startable and then click OK.

In Command Line Interface (Hyper Terminal)

A CV can be created in following way:
To make a CV, type: cv mk cvname
To make the CV startable , type: cv set cvname
To check current CV: cv cu

Refer to the following screen shots:

24. If its required to ping the Iub link, follow the given process:
A. Go to IP.
B. Expand IP Interface.
C. Go to the MO Properties of IP Interface 1.
D. Copy the IP address of default router 0.

E. Now Expand the IP Access Host ET. Go to the MO property of IP Access Host
ET=1
F. Select Action tab.

G. Paste the IP address of default router 0, copied before and then ping.

If its alive, it signifies media is through.

25. Finally, Node B will be radiating with all its channels. Check it.
A.
B.
C.
D.

Go to Radio Network.
Expand Sectors.
Expand radio link and check if all the channels are enabled .
Check if Nbap Common and Dedicated channels are enabled, else Iub will be
down.
E. Check RBSlocalCell status.

Refer the following Screen shot.
