1 Overview
The data of BSC is configured in BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The system supplies interface in graphic mode and introduction to help complete the configuration correctly. Three modes are offered when configuring data.
z
Initial data configuration work mode In this mode, users need only the mouse to configure data in the graphic interface. and a few data are need to input manually, most data will be calculated by the system automatically, such as complex trunk, networking data, cell data, power control and channel management data, etc.. This configuration process is very easy and convenient.
System dynamically configuration work mode Complete task online according to the need of fact. Each task adopts wizard mode to instruct the user to complete the system and networking data. And the system generates commands automatically.
View data configuration work mode This mode makes it convenient for user to understand the present BSC networking architecture and network planning data.
1.1 Data Configuration Principle

Data Configuration Path
There are two paths to start BSC Data Auto Configuration System: Step 1 Start BSC Data Auto Configuration System from OMC system. In this path, we also have two choices:
z
With OMC Server, user connects to OMC Server through OMC Shell, and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System. Without OMC Server, users start OMC Local WS, select the IP address of BAM, and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.
Step 2 Start BSC Data Auto Configuration System from iManager M2000 System. There are also two choices:
z
With M2000 Server, user connects to M2000 Server through iManager M2000, and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System. Without M2000 Server, users start Local WS, select the IP address of BAM, and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

1 Overview
Either with OMC Server(M2000 Server) or not, when BSC Data Auto Configuration System launch, system download autocfg.dat from FTP Server at BAM to WS (Work Station) with FTP (File Transfer Protocol); after accomplish transfer and conversion, or accomplish dynamic configuration, load autocfg.dat from WS to FTP Server. Data configuration principle of BSC is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Data configuration principle of the BSC data auto configuration system
Data Category
BSC data includes BSC Data Auto Configuration System data, BAM data and FAM data.
z
BSC Data Auto Configuration System data is used when graphic data configuration interfaces are adopted. They are saved in the file AutoCfg.dat in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata. The data configuration files of BSC Data Auto Configuration System are transferred from the Client to the designated directory of BAM via FTP. BAM data are also saved at BAM in *.DBF and *.DAT format. *.DBF files are saved in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dbf and system table files are saved in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DBF\SYSTEM. The data converted from *.DBF are saved in the directory C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD, with the file name as DB_*.DAT. "*" of DB_*.DAT represents module Number and one module corresponds to one data file. Files after format conversion can be transferred to the GMPU of BSC via channels between FAM and BAM during BSC loading or data setting. FAM data refer to the data saved in GMPU, adopting binary system.

1 Overview
Except data for modules, there are also such important files as cc08.bsm, cc08.ctn, cc08.mcm, cc08.mcs and cc08.snt under DLOAD directory. Data under DLOAD directory cannot be deleted and modified through Windows Explorer during routine maintenance. The relationship between various kinds of data is illustrated in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 The relationship between various kinds of data
During initial configuration, if it wants to be saved, select [File/Backup Data to] to save the current modification. After the file for data configuration is saved, if the system exits service abnormally before data transfer and conversion, select [File/Reload Data from] to recover the data modified. In initial configuration, after all the data are configured, perform transfer operation to convert the BSC Data Auto Configuration System data into DBF format. Then convert the DBF data into *.DAT format with conversion operation. Then finally reset all the modules to load the data.
The file saving path in this manual refers to the default path for software installation, if there is no dedicated description about the path.
1.2 Authority
To guarantee the stable operation of the system, strict operation authority system is designed for the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

Procedure Introduction
Step 1 Operation procedure of transferring data
z
System firstly verifies if all the data are correct (e.g., whether the CGI is repetitive, whether the RC has been allocated with frequencies, etc). Calculate all the data according to the current configuration, (e.g., the Number of various boards, radio channel configuration table, LAPD signal connection table and LAPD semi-fixed connection table, etc). Send OMC_DELETE communication frame to BAM. Clear all the DBF data of BAM by BAM. If the data table to be refreshed is specified, the data table to be cleared is the specified data table. According to the current configuration information, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will automatically calculate the data to be filled into the DBF data table and encapsulate them to data frames and send to BAM. Then BAM will fill the data to the data tables. After the transfer operation, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will automatically save the AutoCfg.Dat at WS, and then load it to FTP Server with FTP. If it is unsuccessful to upload file to FTP Server, the system does not continue the convert operation. In this case, don't exit the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, and keep the locking of current client to BAM. After resolve the fault of FTP Server, Select [File/Backup Data to/FTP Server], select autocfg.dat for the file name. After the file is successfully uploaded, the system sends the convert command for data conversion. After the transfer and convert operation, you must reset the BSC entirely to keep the data consistency between BAM and GMPU.

1 Overview
present module (BM), and data will be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The step is described as the first setting in the following text. If part of the data tables need to be sent to all modules (BM), the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will refresh these data tables and clear the record in the table of command line parameters. Then the configuration file will be saved to the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, and these data tables (including the empty table of command line parameters) will then be set to all modules (BM), and configuration data will again be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The step is described as the second setting in the following text.
Sending data tables to all modules is also called Inter-module Broadcast.
Secondary setting can be performed for the following dynamic operations. Such as add/delete sites, add/delete cells, add/delete TRXs, add/delete external cells, modify external cell property, modify interface phase flag, modify cell handover parameters, modify cell FH attributes, modify cell BCC and NCC, modify TRX channel type, modify TRX frequencies, modify cell installation status, modify voice optimization parameters, modify monitor timeslot, configure bypass switch, configure BIE trunk networking mode and mobile BTS.
The procedure of batch modify cell parameters is same as the procedure described in above. System generates the corresponding commands. The configuration procedure is determined by the commands.
Without Command
BSC Data Auto Configuration System generates all data for BSC table according to this dynamic configuration without command. BAM data table will be refreshed according to the corresponding ID of the current configuration. And then the corresponding data table will be set to all BM, and data will be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

Issue 07 (2006-08-20)
1 Overview
Figure 1-33 BSC Data Auto Configuration System start failure information
Analysis and Handling Process

There are two causes for this failure: One is that the FTP Server has not been started. Check whether there is FTP Server icon in Tray of Task Bar in BAM Windows, as shown in Figure 1-34. If the FTP Server has not been started, double click the Ftps.exe under the directory C:\OMC\BSC\BAM.
Figure 1-34 FTP Server in-service icon
The other is poor network quality. Since the BSC Data Auto Configuration System obtains data first from the BAM when it is started, it might fail to obtain data if the network quality is poor. To solve this problem, just wait for a while, and then restart the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.
1.8.2 Version not Identical During System Starting

Description
When the BSC Data Auto Configuration System loads data, it will implement consistency checking of the version of AutoCfg.dat and the version of the current BSC Data Auto Configuration System. If they are inconsistent, the following warning will pop up, as shown in Figure 1-35.
Issue 07 (2006-08-20)

1 Overview
Figure 1-35 Inconsistency between the program version and the data version
Analysis
Click <OK>. System is downward compatible, if the version of the current BSC data auto configuration system is higher than the version of the configuration file (AutoCfg.dat), the program can run normally. Otherwise, the prompt of unknown object will appear. The BSC Data Auto Configuration System might become abnormal and cannot be used.
Handling Process
Update the version of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and make it matching with the data version. If the problem appears during upgrading, ignore the prompt. After transferring/converting operation is performed, the version of the program and that of the data become consistent. Therefore, the prompt information as shown in Figure 1-35 will not appear again.
1.8.3 No data for BSC Data Auto Configuration System in BAM FTP Server of BAM
Description
When the user first starts the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and there is no configuration file of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System in the BAM FTP Server, the System will prompt the user to automatically exit the system. as shown in Figure 1-36.

1 Overview
Figure 1-36 Data file error
Handling Process
Under this case, the user can copy the old AutoCfg.Dat file to the directory C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD\CFGDATA in BAM (this is the directory specified for file transferring in FTP Server). Users can start initial data configuration in the BSC Data Auto Configuration System to edit and transfer the data, convert and load data to GMPU. Then restart the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, and "System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode" can be usable.
1.8.4 Login authority

The login authority of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System is based on the user management authority of OMC Shell or OMC Local WS. The advanced users (users with OMC Management Authority) can enter any work mode of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The ordinary users (users with Service Setting Authority, users with Management Authority and users with OMC Setting Authority) can enter System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode and View Data Configuration Work Mode. If the user does not have the authority to log in OMC Shell or OMC Local WS, the following information may appear, as shown in Figure 1-37.

1.8.5 Edit lock of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System

Description
DBF data chaos may be caused if multiple clients implement data configuration of the same BAM simultaneously. Only the login users who have the OMC management authority and data setting authority can perform BAM edit lock. All the other login users of other clients can only enter the "View data configuration work mode" of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The following prompt will appear as shown in Figure 1-39 when the user who does not have the edit lock authority starts the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

Issue 07 (2006-08-20)
1 Overview
Handling Process
Only after the client exits the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, the BAM will be unlocked, new users can reenter the system and obtain the authority of data modification. If the Client with editing authority exits abnormally, find the corresponding computer of the Client according to the IP address displayed when other Clients entered the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. Start the BSC Data Auto Configuration System to enter dynamic configuration mode, then exit normally, the BAM will be unlocked.
Do not shut down the BSC Data Auto Configuration System by directly shutting down OMC Shell or OMC Local WS. The correct way should be: first shut down the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, then shut down OMC Shell or OMC Local WS.
1.8.6 Timeout during Dynamic Configuration

Description
In the process of dynamic configuration, the abnormal network will lead to, data table refreshing timeout, data table setting timeout, and dynamic configuration can not be completed. An exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will cause disparity between the GMPU/BAM data and the BSC Data Auto Configuration System data.
Handling Process
Step 1 Do not exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration System! Before exiting the interface, click <Start Dynamic Configuration> to secure a successful result. Step 2 Modify the timer by clicking <View Data> in the window to start the BSC Data View System. ----End
1.8.7 Abnormal Break during Dynamic Configuration

Description
During the process of dynamic configuration, a sudden break-down or power failure of a client terminal may result in an abnormal exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.
Issue 07 (2006-08-20)
1-37
1 Overview
Handling Process
z
With abnormal situations that occurred before clicking <Start Dynamic Configuration>, just restart the dynamic configuration. With abnormal situations that occurred before saving the data successfully configured for the first time, the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System have not been refreshed. Re-enter the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and conduct the same operation as the previous one, then return. With abnormal situations that occurred before saving the data successfully configured for the second time (i.e., the inter-module broadcast), the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System have already been refreshed. In the initial data configuration mode, refresh [Cell Description Data Table], [Cell Module Information Table], [External Cell Description Table] and [Frequency Hopping Data Table] and send them to all modules. If the dynamic operation is to modify the mark of interface section or the parameter of voice optimization, set [Local Office Information Table] to all modules.
During dynamic configuration, all modules being configured data of the multi-module BSC must be in service. Otherwise, timeout will occur to the dynamic configuration.
1.8.8 FTP Server Interrupted during dynamic configuration

Description
Follow the following procedures when the configuration file of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System has not been saved to BAM due to the interruption of FTP Server during the whole process of dynamic configuration.
Handling Process
Step 1 Do not exit the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and keep the BAM in "locked" state to prevent other Clients enter dynamic data configuration mode to modify the data. If the user exits the BSC Data Auto Configuration System under this case, other Clients may enter the editing state of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, modify and set the data, so that data inconsistency between BAM and FAM may be incurred. Step 2 Select [Options/Backup Data to/FTP Server] to back up the data in FTP server after FTP Server is recovered. Note that the name of the backup data file is AutoCfg.Dat. In this scenario, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will prompt the user to overwrite the file, as shown in Figure 1-40.
