5.1 Checking SNTP

This describes how to commission the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to synchronize the time between NEs. The task facilitates the centralized maintenance and management.
Prerequisite
Context
Application of the SNTP helps to synchronize the time (year/month/date/hour/minute/second) between multiple SNTP clients in real time by using a unique SNTP server.
Procedure
Step 1 Start the SNTP server. An SNTP server can be at the RNC or at the M2000 server, which is determined by the actual condition.
l l
At the RNC: Enable the SNTP service on the SecurityManager of the BAM. At the M2000 server: The Sun operating system has the self-contained SNTP service. For details, refer to the M2000 Administration Guide.
Step 2 Run the SET SNTPCLTPARA command to set the parameters of the SNTP client. Parameter ID SW Parameter Name Switch of Time Sync Description Indicates whether synchronization is required. Value range: ON (synchronization required), OFF (synchronization not required) Default value: none. IP SNTP Server IP Address Value range: 0.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.254 Default value: none. SP Synchronization period (minute) Value range: 1 to 525600 Unit: minute Default value: none.
Step 3 Run the LST SNTPCLTPARA command to check the parameters of the SNTP client. Step 4 Run the LST SNTPCLTLATESTSUCCDATE command to query the time of latest successful synchronization of the SNTP client to the SNTP server, and whether the synchronization is successful.
5-2
Issue 01 (2008-04-30)
If..
Then..
The synchronization is successful, End this task. The synchronization is failed, Check the following items:
l l
Whether the SNTP server is started Whether the IP address of the NodeB is correct
After the faults are rectified, go to Step 2 to reset the parameters. ----End
5.2 Checking the Status of a Cell

This describes how to check the status of a local cell or a logical cell. The task helps you to learn the running state of the active cell and perform OM on the cell.
Prerequisite
Procedure
Run the DSP LOCELL command to check the statuses of all local and logical cells of the NodeB. If The information prompting faults is displayed, No information prompting faults is displayed, Then Rectify the faults according to the information. End the task.
----End
5.3 Measuring RTWP

The Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) is the received wideband power in an uplink channel band measured at the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Network Access (UTRAN) access point. This topic describes how to measure the RTWP. You can calibrate the gain of uplink RF channels through RTWP measurement. The NodeB RTWP test has no negative effect on the services.
Prerequisite
Context
Analyses of the RTWP measurement are as follows:
l
If the NodeB is not connected to the antenna and feeder system or a matched load, the RTWP is about 108 dBm. If the NodeB is connected to the antenna and feeder system (with TMA switched on) or a matched load, the RTWP is about 105 dBm. If the services are normal and the uplink load reaches 75%, the RTWP is 6 dB higher than the RTWP when the NodeB does not carry any service.
NOTE
l l
When the reported RTWP is valid, the curve is normal. The vertical axis corresponds to the reported RTWP with the unit of 0.1 dBm. When the reported RTWP is invalid, abnormal RTWP curves are displayed. The RTWP for the main antenna forms a horizontal line at 112 dBm on the vertical axis. The RTWP for the diversity antenna forms a horizontal line at 111.5 dBm on the vertical axis. The error may lie in the absent WRFU \MRRU\RHUB\PRRU, a broken link, or a faulty channel. In this case, clear the fault first.
Procedure
Step 1 In the navigation pane of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Double-click Realtime Specific Monitoring > RTWP Measurement . The RTWP Measurement dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1 RTWP Measurement dialog box
Step 3 Set the parameters in the dialog box. Step 4 Click OK. A monitor window is displayed, showing the current monitoring task in graphs. Step 5 Stop the test in one of the following ways: If... You close the monitoring window, Then... All the displayed monitoring tasks are stopped.

5.4 Monitoring the Output Power of the NodeB

This describes how to monitor the output power of the NodeB. The output power test measures the output power of the NodeB, including the typical output power and output power of each carrier.
Prerequisite
Context
If the test is started, the system periodically reports the typical output power and power of each carrier according to the set time interval. The output power the NodeB is associated with the configuration and specified services. If the pilot power and typical output power are configured, when the NodeB does not carry services, the WRFU output power is close to the pilot power and the RRU/pRRU output power is close to the pilot power plus 3 dB. If the output power is lower than the pilot power by a large amount, the NodeB output power must be abnormal.
l l
WRFU and RRU: The pilot power can be 33 dBm and the typical power can be 43 dBm. pRRU: Because the output power is relative small, the pilot power can be 20 dBm and the typical power can be 27 dBm.
Procedure
Step 1 In the navigation pane of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Double-click Realtime Specific Monitoring > Output Power Monitoring . The Output Power Monitoring dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Initially Activating the NodeB License
About This Chapter

This describes how to initially activate the NodeB license. When a new NodeB is configured, the M2000 allocates the license resource to it. The task includes uploading the RAN license to the M2000 server, distributing the NodeB license, activating the RAN license, and querying the RAN license information.
The M2000 server is operational. A valid NodeB license file is obtained. The ESN is successfully obtained from the RAN.
Context
A license is an authorization agreement between the supplier and the operator in terms of the functions, application scope, and service life of products. Physically, a license are/is a license certificate and/or a license file. Operators can purchase a license which specifies the network functions and capacity applicable to a specific phase. In this way, the investment of the operators can be fully protected. 1. 6.1 Uploading the RAN License to the M2000 Server This describes how to upload the RAN license file to the M2000 server through the M2000 client. The task enables the M2000 service of RAN license management to manage the license file. 6.2 Allocating the NodeB License This describes how the M2000 allocates the NodeB license files uploaded to the M2000 server to operators. 6.3 Activating the RAN License This describes how to activate the RAN license. When an RNC license is activated, the allocation of the license among operators is complete.

6.1 Uploading the RAN License to the M2000 Server

This describes how to upload the RAN license file to the M2000 server through the M2000 client. The task enables the M2000 service of RAN license management to manage the license file.
Prerequisite
l l l
You have logged in to the M2000 client. The M2000 server is operational. The license to be uploaded is valid.
Context
l
Each RAN system can upload one RNC license and multiple NodeB licenses to the M2000. However, only one NodeB license can be activated at a time point. When the RAN system is shared by multiple operators, due to the varied information of operators, the license is valid if the equipment ID in the license file is consistent with the ESN of the primary operator's RNC.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Software > License Management . The License Browser window is displayed. Step 2 From the file navigation tree on the left part of the License Browser window, select an RNC node. Step 3 Right-click and choose Upload > From Client. The Select Uploading File-----1/1 dialog box is displayed. Step 4 Click Add. The Select dialog box is displayed. Step 5 Select one or multiple license files to be uploaded and then click Select.
TIP
Hold of Shift or Ctrl enables you to select multiple files.
Step 6 In the Select Uploading File-----1/1 dialog box, click Finish. The upload progress is displayed on the FTP Task tab page at the lower part of the License Browser window. When the progress bar reaches 100%, you can infer that the license file is uploaded.
NOTE
If you need to stop or delete the task when the license file is being uploaded, you can select the file, rightclick and then choose Stop or Delete from the shortcut menu.

6.2 Allocating the NodeB License

This describes how the M2000 allocates the NodeB license files uploaded to the M2000 server to operators.
Prerequisite
l l l l l
You have logged in to the M2000 client. The M2000 server is operational. The ESN is successfully obtained from the RAN. The valid license file is uploaded to the M2000 server. The RAN system is shared by multiple operators.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Software > License Management . The License Browser window is displayed. Step 2 From the file navigation tree on the left part of the License Browser window, select an RNC node whose license file is already uploaded to the M2000 server. The detailed license list on the right part of the window displays all the licenses of the RNC node. Step 3 Select a license, right-click it, and choose License Distributed to Operator from the shortcut menu. The License Distributed to Operator window is displayed. Step 4 In this window, assign the values of licenses to each operator.
NOTE
l l l
The number of local cells set by the user must be equal to or more than the number of actual cells. Otherwise, the allocation of NodeB license fails. You can run a MML command to query the parameter information of the NodeB, such as the actual number of cells. When the license allocation information is modified on the NodeB, you need to allocate the license information to all the NEs under the RNC node so that the modification takes effect.
Step 5 In the NE allocation information box, click an operator tab. All the licenses allocated to the operator is displayed in the box. Step 6 Double-click a piece of NE license allocation information or right-click the information and then choose Modify from the shortcut menu. The Modify dialog box is displayed. Step 7 Modify the license allocation information of the NodeB. The license is delivered to the NE by operators. ----End
6.3 Activating the RAN License

This describes how to activate the RAN license. When an RNC license is activated, the allocation of the license among operators is complete. When a NodeB license is activated, the allocation of the license among NodeBs is complete.
Prerequisite
l l l
You have logged in to the M2000 client. The M2000 server is operational. The valid RNC license and NodeB license are uploaded to the M2000 server. The allocation of the NodeB license among NodeBs is complete.

Context
On the M2000 server, a RAN system can have multiple NodeB license files and one RNC license file. Among the NodeB license files, only one of them can be activated at a time point.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Software > License Management . The License Browser window is displayed. Step 2 From the file navigation tree on the left part of the License Browser window, select an RNC node. The detailed license list on the right part of the window displays all the licenses of the RNC node. Step 3 Select a license whose Activated parameter is False. Right-click and choose Distribute All from the shortcut menu.
