Chapter 1 On-site maintenance

1.1 On-site maintenance
1.1.1 Introduction
Within a global GSM 900, GSM 1800, or GSM 1900 network, the major part of Base Station Subsystem maintenance activities are centralized at the OMC-R, as defined in CCITT recommendations. In some cases, however, the information required by maintenance teams cannot be centralized and the operator needs to perform procedures that the OMC-R does not support. On-site BSS maintenance, therefore, refers to all the operations undertaken outside the OMC-R through a local maintenance terminal, called the TML, connected to one of the following:
BSC or a BSC 3000 BTS TCU or a TCU 3000 OMC-R through the public switched network
1.1.2 Features and functions

On-site maintenance provides a set of functions that give the operator information on the state of BSS elements that is not always available at the OMC-R level.
1.1.2.1 S2000H/L, S8000 (with CBCF or CSWM), S8002, S8003, S8006 or S12000 BTS
On-site S2000 H/L, S8000, S8006, S8002, S8003 and S12000 BTS maintenance and BTS6000, BTS9000, and BTS18000 support is performed with a single tool: the TIL COAM. Principles underlying BTS maintenance These tools (TIL RTC, TIL DCU4, TIL COAM) can be used on-line (connected mode) or in stand-alone mode (not connected).
14 Chapter 1 On-site maintenance
1.2 On-site maintenance terminal

1.2.1 Overview
Maintenance operations are performed on-site through a special terminal, called the TML, which uses specific tools for each functional entity (see Figure 1 "On-site maintenance terminal" (page 15)). A hardware device (PC) and a dedicated package of boards, software, and cables support the complete tool set. The tool set includes the following:
BTS on-site maintenance terminal (TIL COAM) for S2000 H/L BTS, and S12000, S8000 (CSWM or CBCF), S8002 BTS, S8003 BTS, and S8006 BTS and support for BTS6000, BTS9000 and BTS18000

2.1 Introduction
The TIL checks BTS equipment and pinpoints a certain number of hardware problems. The TIL RTC operates in the DOS environment under Windows 98, NT, or Vista operating system. It is built around two entities:
TIB application part to test and check the BCF (TIL BCF) TIF application part to test and check FPRX (TIL FP)
2.2 BTS operating mode for test runs

The BTS can perform tests in two modes:
standalone connected (on-line)
The TIL detects the available connection by talking to the BTS.
2.2.1 Start-up conguration in standalone mode

The BTS disregards the Abis interface in standalone mode and is cut off from the PCM link that connects it to the BSC, or the signaling link between BTS and BSC cannot be established. The operator has to restart the BTS as a whole after tests have been executed and the TIL disconnected.
2.2.2 Start-up conguration in connected mode

The BTS is connected to the BSC. The BCF (btsSiteManager object) and the FPs (transceiverEquipment objects) are downloaded. In connected mode, the TIL does not disturb BTS operations.

2.4.1.3 Result tracing

Each software part provides trace files. They are used to record the results obtained from measurement test runs. For BCF tests, the file is called TIL_BCF.RES. For FP tests, the software detects the FP identifier (TEI) and the file name is automatically tailored to match the FP rank. For example, for FP0 tests, the trace file name is TIL_FP32.RES: for FP3 tests, it is TIL_FP35.RES. All the files are ASCII files and can be edited and printed.

2.4.3 TIB test capabilities 2.4.3.1 TIB working principles

Communication with the BTS Standalone mode The TIB is always connected to the CSW1 board on the BTS "A" chain (CSW pair on the left side of the CSU shelf, LOC TERM port) for tests in STANDALONE mode (see Figure 31 "TIB connection layout" (page 51)). At the end of STANDALONE tests, the BTS must be shut down and switched on again (including the TX). Connected mode In CONNECTED mode, the TIB is connected to the active CSW1 board ("ON" and "RDY" LEDs on). Never disconnect the TIB during test runs or before they normally end.
2.4 TIL RTC Figure 31 TIB connection layout
51
Communication and access to modules Communication with BCF entities is established through the BTS O&M bus (see Nortel GSM BTS S4000/S4000C Indoor Fundamentals (411-9001-003), Nortel GSM BTS S4000 Outdoor Fundamentals (411-9001-023), and < 53 >). The following entities are addressed by the TIB:
SYN units TX modules CCT modules all boards in the CSU shelf ALAT boards
TIB communication Since the TIB communicates with other entities across the O&M bus operating at 9600 b/s, any requests sent on the bus in response to operator actions (board status requests, alarm status, etc.) take some time. The TIB informs the operator by the message "Please wait ...", at the bottom of the screen while the information is being collected. A screenful of collected data is then displayed. If an error is detected, the TIB displays a fault context message (wrong board number, wrong TX number, mistake in input parameter syntax, etc.). To escape a fault context, press <esc>. This applies to all TIB operations. Operator action times Some modules must be reset (takes about 20 seconds) at the end of certain test runs involving special operations, such as "TX configuration" (transmission test). Wait for the module to be reset before attempting to trigger other operations ("TX status dump", for example) or before repeating a request when a response seems illogical (if, for example, the TX sends a NOK response following a fault-free test run).

Menu: Connected mode Shelf number C + <cr> or C + <OK>
TEST DESCRIPTION
Test used to obtain the following information:
CSU rack number Rendez-Vous Time Slot BCF Terminal Equipment Identifier (TEI)
TEST RESULTS
TIB displays a "please wait" message while the information is being collected, or until the BCF access is considered to be "out of service". When the information has been stored, a screenful of results is displayed. Press <esc> or click <Close> to stop this test (return to the main TIB application menu). The value of the Rendez-Vous Time Slot always equals the value of the BCF TEI value plus one. The BCF TEI value is obtained by taking one away from the number of the Rendez-Vous TS.
59
The following formula is used to calculate the CSU rack number (shelf number): Rack number (Hexadecimal) = complement of the four low-order bits in the BCF TEI.
MEANING
Three parameter values are set in the CSU rack:
CSU shelf number BCF rack TEI Rendez-Vous Time Slot
The last two values are derived from the first. Calculating the CSU shelf TEI The TEI number is obtained by calculating the complement of the four low-order CSU rack number bits (XOR with value of 1111 in binary logic). Example: Shelf number =0f; giving 00001111 in binary logic TEI equals: <Shelf number> XOR 1111) = 0000=0 Rendez-Vous Time Slot The Rendez-Vous Time Slot (RV TS) is calculated by adding one to the TEI. RV TS=TEI+1 Example: For a CSU shelf number equaling 0f:
TEI = 00 Rendez-Vous Time Slot = TEI+1=1

2.5.13 Display the switching matrix

Menu: Connected mode Switching matrix (connection) H + <cr> or H + <OK>
TEST DESCRIPTION
Function used to display the cross connections established in the BTS switching matrix. Radio and signaling channel TS (LAPD channels) can be shadowed in this way.
TEST RESULTS
Overview The internal matrix configuration is displayed in three consecutive arrays. The ordinate of the arrays (left vertical line) gives the list of internal PCM links from 0 to f (PCM), and the abscissa (horizontal title line) the time slots from 0 to 0C for the first array, from 0d to 19 for the second one and from 1a to 1f for the last one. These tables do not describe communication. They represent the internal channel connections. That means this matrix does not change regarding the traffic, it only describes the frame processed by each FP. The PCM and TS are numbered in hexadecimal notation. Meaning The arrays are read line by line (one line for one PCM).
A XX, YY value is displayed at each XX, YY line/column intersection (where XX is the number of the PCM used and YY is the value of the TS used). If the PCM/TS pair displayed at an intersection is used as the coordinates in the array, the original coordinate pair is obtained.
79
For example, if we obtain PCMa/TS2 (0a,02) at the PCM3/TS3 (03,03) intersection, we obtain the value of (03,03) at the PCMa/TS2 intersection. Specific values The nonstandard values at line/column intersections for each PCM/TS pair are as follows:
L, LL: The PCM/TS is looped back I,II: The PCM/TS is transmitted but not used (padding) ?: problem with the PCM/TS
TS 31 on PCM links 3, 7, 8, 9, and TS 0 on all PCM links are reserved for use by the CSW module (internal board management). Reminder of PCM link definitions The following tables show PCM link breakdown and define their assignments. PCM 0 to 7 are reserved for FPRX needs (see Nortel GSM BTS S4000/S4000C Indoor Fundamentals (411-9001-003), Nortel GSM BTS S4000 Outdoor Fundamentals (411-9001-023), and <53>).

2.5.15 Display the TX and CCT alarm states

Menu: Connected mode Board alarms J + <cr> or J + <OK>
TEST DESCRIPTION
Function used to ask TX and CCT for the status of ongoing module alarms.
TEST RESULTS
A screenful of results is displayed at the end of the command run. Press <esc> to stop the test and return to the main TIB application menu. The alarm status of each TX is distributed on four bytes. Each byte is displayed in hexadecimal. Hexadecimal bytes are broken down into binary values by gathering two hexadecimal figures after two others (bit 0: lowest order on right, bit 7: highest order on left). An example of this break-up are shown in the Figure 40 "Break-up of TX alarm display bytes (example)" (page 85). The first byte is broken down as follows: (see Figure 41 "TX alarm status first byte" (page 86))
Bit 0: TX power amplifier (on=1, off=0) Bit 1: high temperature alarm (0 no alarm) Bit 2: high power alarm (0 no alarm) Bit 3: power cabinet alarm (significant only in config state and conditioned by the maximum dynamic power) Bit 4: standing wave voltage ratio alarm, significant in config state only, otherwise is 0 Bits 5 to 7: TX status:
000 not configured 001 configured
010 under test 100 out of use

The second byte is defined as follows, the bits are read from right (bit 0) to left (bit7) (see Figure 42 "TX alarm status second byte" (page 87)):
Bit 0: Out Of Lock alarm from FH bus PLLs (0 no alarm) Bit 1: Out of lock alarm from reference oscillators (0 no alarm) Bit 2: FH flags, this bit is set to one if one or more FH links are not validated. This flag is set to 0 if there is no error, or if the FH bus error mask is not significant. Bit 3: set to 0 Bit 4: Asic external link error (0 no error) Bits 5 to 7: set to 0
The third byte is not significant: its value is set to 00H. The fourth byte is not significant: its value is set to 0.

The alarm status of each TXC-C is distributed on two bytes. Each byte is displayed in hexadecimal. An example of this distribution is shown in Figure 40 "Break-up of TX alarm display bytes (example)" (page 85). The hardware status gives the state of the different devices of the board. The bit is set to 0 when the corresponding device is OK. The first byte is broken down as follows (see Figure 43 "TXC-C alarm status first byte" (page 88)):
Bit 0: global SVWR alarm Bit 1: main combiner power supply (24 V) Bit 2: extension combiner power supply (24 V) Bit 3: main combiner hardware problem (tuning detector, etc.) Bit 4: extension combiner hardware problem (tuning detector, etc.) Bit 5: communication failure with the extension
Bit 6: main Eeprom full Bit 7: extension eprom full
The second byte is broken down as follows (see Figure 43 "TXC-C alarm status first byte" (page 88)):
Bit 0: main/extension eprom inconsistency Bit 1: extension hard/soft inconsistency Bit 2 to bit 7: set to 0

Test used to obtain the states of the following tested FP boards (present/absent/BIST result):
DCU boards (SIGN and SPU processors) MNU board
It does not check the compatibility of the boards in the equipment system version.
112
TEST RESULTS
When the information has been stored, a screenful of results is displayed and refreshed every 10 seconds. The test provides the following information:
BIST result (OK or NOK) BIST status in hexadecimal when BIST result is NOK
If BIST SIGN or MNU is NOK, the SPU BISTs are not significant. For the SPU, the BIST is displayed in 36 bytes. Each byte is coded in two hexadecimal digits. The lower ranked byte (rank 1) is the one located to the far left. When the BIST result is NOK, the operator must identify the byte segment which is different from 0 to find out what equipment has been affected (see the following paragraph). Breakdown of the SPU self-test results The BIST field can be broken down into byte segments. Each segment relates to a FPRX element. BIST results are read from left to right, starting with byte 1. Byte 1 is not significant. Bytes 2 to 25 relate to the DCU board. Byte 26 relates to GSMTIME detection. Bytes 27 and 28 relate to the DCU board. Byte 29 relates to the reception of data coming from the associated RX. Byte 32 provides the RXA version, byte 33 the RXB version. Byte 34 describes RXA alarm, byte 35 RXB alarm. Byte 36 describes RX alarm. When an element is absent or present but not answering, the field is empty. Press <esc> to stop this test and return to the main TIF application menu.

MEANING OF RXQUAL AND RXLEV VALUES

The values are measured in full mode. Two parameters are used to measure the signal reception quality in uplink communication:
Signal quality: RXQUAL Reception level: RXLEV
The reception level is displayed between 0 and 63. Converting RXLEV into dBM The conversion into dBm of an RXLEV level is performed according to the following formula: Rec_Lev in dBm=RXLEV-110 Meaning of RXQUAL The RXQUAL level is a value from 0 to 7.
119
The BER (Bit Error Rate) level is evaluated as follows:

RXQUAL 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 BER less than 0.2 % 0.2 % to 0.4 % 0.4 % to 0.8 % 0.8 % to 1.6 % 1.6 % to 3.2 % 3.2 % to 6.4 % 6.4 % to 12.8 % greater than 12.8 % Average 0.14 % 0.28 % 0.57 % 1.13 % 2.26 % 4.53 % 9.05 % 18.1 %
For good communication quality, a value lower than 3 must be obtained.

TEST DESCRIPTION
Test used to configure all the SDAs of an FP for a transmission/reception test. Loop back the CSW matrix before beginning the test by launching the J menu "Switching matrix configuration" of TIB in standalone mode (see Paragraph2.6.10 Configure the switching matrix (page 100)). The configuration file to be used is SWM_MLFP.REF. The connections established in the CSW2 board for this configuration are shown in Figure 53 "SDA test: CSW2 configuration" (page 133).
TEST RESULTS
Once the test result has been collected, the overall response is displayed: OK or NOK.
132
The number of errors is then displayed with two bytes (four hexadecimal characters). If the number of errors is too big, the value is FFFE. This generally arises from a bad choice of the configuration file. The result is given for each SDA of the FP.
OPERATING MODE
To access the test proceed as follows:
Use the file SWM_MLFP.REF to set the switching matrix parameters (TIB standalone, J menu). Mention the duration of the test (duration of the transmission). The effective duration of the test is nearly ten times more than the value above, so wait for the end of the test.

TEST DESCRIPTION
Test used to ask a receiver (RX) to run an overall test of reception frequencies. This test detects the following:
reception failures:
134
loss of gain parasite lines
outside pollution:
interference
It is also possible to check reception of signals from the mobile stations (test the antenna + multi-coupler + receiver input chain). The accuracy of measurements is, however, not comparable to the results obtained by spectrum analysis. The radio test program measures the reception levels of each of the channels within a chosen range (GSM900 or GSM1800) and transmits them to the user in the form of a graphic display. Each range of measurement covers 124 channels with handover. Measurements are taken on the normal reception channel on the RX input (reception multi-coupler output).
OPERATING MODE
To perform the RX test, you must select the following:
TS number frequency range the input from among the following: RXA normal RXA diversity RXB normal RXB diversity
TEST RESULTS
The result is displayed in graphic form (bar graph type graphic scale, see Figure 54 "RX test results" (page 136)). When the test result has been collected, the results are displayed in the form of a graph with the channels corresponding to the frequencies as its abscissa and the reception levels in dBm as its ordinate. The scale for the graph adapts automatically; the zoom factor is calculated to contain the result within the window.

3.4.3 Operation of the TIL COAM 3.4.3.1 Dialogue with the BTS
During testing in STANDALONE or CONNECTED mode, the TIL COAM must be connected:
to the Ethernet connector "ETH" of the active CMCF board ("ON" led lit) of the S12000, S8000 BTS(CBCF), S8002 BTS, S8003, or S8006 BTS (see Figure 75 "Connecting the TIL COAM to an S12000 BTS, S8000 BTS with CBCF, S8002 BTS, S8003 BTS, or S8006 BTS" (page 161)) to the Ethernet connector "ETH" of the active CSWM board ("ON" led lit) of the S8000 BTS (CSWM) (see Figure 76 "Connecting the TIL COAM to an S8000 BTS with CSWM" (page 162)) to the "TEST" connector of the S2000 H/L BTS (see Figure 77 "Connecting the TIL COAM to an S2000H FP BTS" (page 163) and Figure 78 "Connecting the TIL COAM to an S2000L EP BTS" (page 164))
to the Ethernet connector "ETH" of the active ICM of a BTS 6000, BTS 9000, or BTS 18000 (see Figure 79 "Connecting the TIL COAM to a BTS 6000, BTS 9000, or BTS 18000, with ICM" (page 166)) to the Ethernet connector "ETH0" of the ICAM or RICAM of a BTS 6000, BTS 9000, or BTS 18000 (see Figure 80 "Connecting the TIL COAM to a BTS 6000, BTS 9000, or BTS 18000 (with ICAM/RICAM)" (page 167))
S12000, S8000, S8002, S8003, and S8006 BTS case: At least one CMCF and one CPCMI or one CSWM and one PCMI are needed to make the connection possible. The BCF software configures the switching matrix so that it supports the BTS internal communication function to be used by the TIL O&M for access to the various devices. When quitting tests in STANDALONE mode, perform a BCF reset. The TIL COAM uses BTS internal communications for access to the various entities (BCF, DRX, etc.). A single connection point (on the active CMCF (S12000 and S8000 BTS) (CBCF), S8002, S8003, or S8006 BTS) on the active CSWM (S8000 BTS (CSWM) or on the TEST connector (S2000 H/L BTS)) is thus needed for access to the various entities. The TIL COAM must also check that the link with the entity is established. The modules that can thus be queried by the TIL COAM are:
S12000 BTS, S8000 BTS (CBCF), S8002 BTS, S8003 BTS, or S8006 BTS:
the CMCF modules with the associated elements the RECAL boards the DRX/PA (eDRX/ePA for S8002 BTS, S8003 BTS, and S8006
BTS or eDRX2/ePA for S12000 BTS and S8000 BTS (CBCF)) modules
the CPCMI boards the CC8 module (only S8000 BTS (CBCF))
S8000 BTS (CSWM):
the BCF modules with the associated elements the DSC boards the SYNC boards the CSWM boards
160
the GTW boards the PCMI boards the ALCO boards the DRX/PA (eDRX/ePA) modules
S2000 H/L BTS:
the SBCF module the DRX modules

BTS 6000, BTS 9000, and BTS 18000 case For BTS 18000 family products (BTS 18000, BTS 6000 and BTS 9000), the Ethernet cable has to be connected to the ICM, ICAM, or RICAM, depending on which module is present in the BTS.
The TIL COAM uses BTS internal communications for access to the various BTS entities (such as the radio modules). A single connection point on the active ICM or ICAM/RICAM thus provides all the required access for the TIL COAM application. The modules that can be thus queried are:
the ICM boards the ABM boards the RM boards RICAM boards

3.4.4 TIL COAM general documentation principles

In order to simplify use of the TIL COAM, the tests are presented in the form of test sheets with the following headers:
the test mode: STANDALONE and/or CONNECTED the name of the test the access path of the tests linked to a type of board
168
3.4.5 Graphic display of the cabinet

The main screen represents the front panel of the BTS, with its maximum board configuration. This gives a graphic display of the status of all the entities on the same screen (see Figure 63 "TIL COAM main screen for S2000 H/L BTS" (page 147) to Figure 69 "TIL COAM main screen for S12000 BTS" (page 153)). The drawing of each board or entity comprises a sensitive zone represented by a rectangular button. click this zone with the mouse to display the tests available for this entity according to the current BTS mode (standalone or connected) in a pop-up menu. The TIL COAM application automatically detects the type of the radio modules and it represents them accordingly. For example, in case of 18000/6000 BTS, the TIL COAM application automatically detects whether the Radio Module type is RM/HPRM/MPRM and displays them accordingly. In the case of S8000 BTS, the TIL COAM application automatically detects the type of DRX and displays them accordingly. Missing or inaccessible entities or functions are shaded in gray. A menu bar also gives access to the various functions using the mouse or the keyboard shortcuts. The tool bar permits a fast access to some functionalities:
Exit from the TIL COAM
Connect to a BTS (only accessible if the TIL is not already connected)
Close the connection with a BTS (only accessible if a connection is open)
3.4 TIL COAM (TIL for S2000 H/L, S8000, S8002, S8003, S8006, S12000, BTS 18000, BTS 9000 and BTS 6000) 169 Display the configuration screen to change a parameter. Only the following parameters can be modified: language
states/colors results save mode alarms configuration automatic tests (only S8000 and S8003 BTS)
Display information about the TIL
The colored box on each board also acts as a LED indicating the state of the board. The number of board states depends on the BTS state. Each state is symbolized by a color.
In standalone mode, six states are possible:
Green : Bists and alarms OK Red : Bists and/or alarms NOK Gray : board missing or off Yellow : not defined state (non established connection) Black : device faulty (for DRX (eDRX or eDRX2) only) White : present but not configured
In connected mode, seven states are possible. The following state is added to the above list:
Orange : device disconnected (for DRX (eDRX or eDRX2) only) Sync Disconnection is possible in the case of S8000 CSWM.
170
On every DRX (eDRX or eDRX2) module, the DRX (eDRX or eDRX2) number is displayed (independently of the connection mode).

TEST PRESENTATION
This function is used to display the connection made within the BTS switching matrix. The routing of the radio and signaling channel TSs (LAPD channels) can thus be followed.
TEST RESULT
General presentation The internal configuration of the matrix is displayed in table form (see Figure 81 "Switching matrix connections display" (page 196)).
196
Chapter 3 BTS on-site maintenance: TIL COAM Figure 81 Switching matrix connections display
The X axis of this table (horizontal title line) lists the time slots TSs from 0 to 31 (0 - 225 for BTS 18000), and the Y axis (vertical line at left) the internal PCMs:
from 0 to 7 (S2000 H/L BTS) from 0 to 15 (S12000 BTS, S8000 BTS with CBCF for CMCF Phase 1, S8002 BTS, S8003 BTS, and S8006 BTS) from 0 to 21 (S12000 BTS, S8000 BTS with CBCF for CMCF Phase 2) from 0 to 9 (BTS 18000)
These tables do not describe the communications, but represent the channel connections. In other words, this matrix does not change as a function of traffic, but describes the frame processed by each DRX (eDRX). The PCM and TS numbering is decimal. Interpretation Interpretation is row by row (1 row represents a PCM).
197
At each XX, YY row/column intersection (where XX is the PCM number and YY the TS number used) a value XX,YY is displayed, meaning that PCM/TS XX,YY is connected to PCM/TS XX,YY. If we use a PCM/TS pair displayed at an intersection as coordinates in the table, we can find the original coordinate pair (full-duplex link). For example, if at intersection PCM(1)/TS(3) (1,3) we find PCM(0)/TS(1) (0,1), then value (1,3) is found at intersection PCM(0)/TS(1). Specific values The non-standard values at the row/column intersection for each PCM,TS are:
"Loop": the transmit PCM/TS is looped back on the reception PCM/TS. "Idle": the PCM/TS is not used but takes a silence code.

TEST PRESENTATION
This function is used to display the connections made within the BTS switching matrix. The routing of the radio and signaling channel TSs (LAPD channels) can thus be followed.
TEST RESULT
General presentation The internal configuration of the matrix is displayed in table form (see Figure 82 "Switching matrix view display" (page 199)).
Figure 82 Switching matrix view display
The X axis of this table (horizontal title line) lists the timeslots (TS) from 0 to 31, and the Y axis (vertical line at left) the PCMs (from 0 to 7 for S2000, 0 to 15 for S8000).
200
These tables do not describe the communications, but represent the channel connections. In other words, this matrix does not change as a function of traffic, but describes the frame processed by each DRX (eDRX). Interpretation Each column represents 1 timeslot and each row represents 1 PCM. At the intersection of a row and column, the PCM TS connection coordinates can be found. For example (in the figure "Switching matrix connections display"), the connection coordinates of PCM1 and TS3 are "13,21". Othere values can also be found on this matrix:
"Idle": this means that the PCM/TS is not used. "Loop": this means that the PCM/TS is looped back for the reception of PCM/TS.

The second window provides information for a specific Time Slot. It is called the mono Time Slot window. Click Close to return to the TIL COAM main screen. The following data is displayed in the mutli-time slot window:
the Time Slot number the SPU number the state of each SPU. The various values are as follows:
trapped downloaded initialized cell configured activated
When the SPU is activated, the types of logical channels supported are specified:
BCCH + CCCH BCCH + CCCH +SDCCH SDSSH + SACCH + SDCCH + CBCH
254
activation of the sub-channels (Bit Map Act) Two groups of eight bits give the status (0: not activated) of the sub-channels. The left group is for TCH or SDCCH mode, the right group is for SACCH mode.
for the Time Slots activated in TCH (ns: not significant, otherwise): the measured reception level for the current cell (RxLev) the received signal quality measured on the TDMA (RxQual) the signal noise ratio (snr)
The following additional information is produced by this function for a given Time Slot:
all the information mentioned above the frequency of the cell BCCH (BCCH freq.) whether DTX is used or not for each sub-channel (schx where x is between 1 and 8):
its state (Act., NA: normal activation, HO: handover) the transmission advance (T adv) the message counter state sent by the mobile in order to maintain
communication (Rad.link c)
the offset frequency (Fr.off) the power relative to the maximum authorized power on the
frequencies other than the BCCH frequency (BS power)
the teaching sequence code (TSC) the activation status of ciphering and de-ciphering the measured reception level of the current cell (RxLev) the received signal quality measured on the TDMA (RxQual) the signal to noise ratio (SNR) PROCEDURE
To get information on SPU start, do the following:
Run the "RM->SPU supervision" menu. The multi-Time Slot window is displayed, providing information for all the Time Slots. To get additional information for a given Time Slot, click the "Detail" button.
255
The mono Time Slot window is displayed, providing information for the Time Slot selected. The ">>" and "<<" buttons switch from one TS to the other. Click "Close" to return to the multi Time Slot window. Click "Close" on the Time Slot window to return to the TIL COAM screen.
INTERPRETATION OF RXQUAL AND RXLEV VALUES

The values are measured in full mode. Two parameters are used to measure the reception quality of the signal in uplink communication:
Signal quality: RxQual Reception level: RxLev
Conversion of RxLev to dBm The conversion of the RxLev into dBm uses the following formula: Rec_Lev in dBm=RxLev-110 Interpretation of RxQual 0 and 7. The RxQual level can take a value between

RXQUAL 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 BER less than 0.2% 0.2% to 0.4% 0.4% to 0.8% 0.8% to 1.6% 1.6% to 3.2% 3.2% to 6.4% 6.4% to 12.8% greater than 12.8% Average 0.14% 0.28% 0.57% 1.13% 2.26% 4.53% 9.05% 18.1%
A value lower than 3 must be obtained for correct communication quality.
3.6.9 Display Radio Conguration

Menu: Connected mode Functions -> Display radio configuration
256
TEST PRESENTATION
This function, available only in connected mode, is used to obtain a graphical display of some Radio Configuration details of a BTS 18000 or a BTS 6000. It enables users who are on a BTS site, but do not have access to an OMC-R, to get a graphical display of the Radio Configuration of a BTS 18000 or a BTS 6000. The feature has been designed to have no adverse impact on the performance of the BTS 18000 or BTS 6000. Consequently, there is no automatic mechanism to retrieve and re-display dynamic information since such a mechanism involves periodic polling which could have an adverse impact on performance. Instead, the user has a manual refresh option to request that the display be updated. The information displayed includes:
Configuration Reference (DLU) of the BTS 18000/6000 number of configured sectors sector wise configuration of RM/TDMA and the TDMA that carries the BCCH
RESULT PRESENTATION Configuration Reference TIL displays the name and description of the Configuration Reference (DLU) that is being used by the BTS 18000/6000. An example of this is: N21--BTS 18000 outdoor, 3C666/666/666, RM mixed (S111/O3), H2. see Figure 87 "TIL MMI main cabinet" (page 258). The description of the Configuration Reference is the maximal configuration that could be supported by the corresponding DLU. This description does not take account of a depopulated configuration, or a partially configured configuration (for example an S666/666/666 configured as an S666/444). However, the actual configuration could be deduced from the graphical display of the sector-wise TDMA distribution. If an incorrect Alarm Configuration file is selected or if no Alarm Configuration file is selected, TIL is not able to consistently or correctly display ABM alarms until the correct Alarm Configuration file is chosen. Sector-wise TDMA distribution TIL displays the mapping between each configured sector and its associated TDMA. The sector ID displayed is that defined by the OMC--Rconfiguration. see Figure 87 "TIL MMI main cabinet" (page 258)
257
Sectors can span across cabinets and TIL displays only one cabinet for each screen. To deal with this, TIL indicates on the main screen all the cabinets in which a sector is present. The TIL application automatically detects the sector configuration details at start-up. However, since sectors are dynamically configurable, the user has a mechanism to refresh this information at any time. The graphical representation is then updated according to this information. Since during start--up in connected mode TIL automatically exchanges information with the BTS 18000/6000 it is mandatory that the TIL be connected to the BTS 18000/6000 only after cell configuration. The graphical representation in TIL reflects the display at the OMC-R. This implies that TIL is not able to detect any inconsistency between the DLU used and the actual/physical cabling of the equipment in the BTS 18000/6000. The actual/physical cabling needs to be checked using the cabling reference document (this document can be stored on the same PC as the TIL). To achieve consistency of the display at the OMC-R and in the TIL, it is important that no administrative operations (such as lock/unlock of the Cell or TRX) be performed while the TIL is connected to the BTS 18000/6000. It is not possible to guarantee synchronization of the display between the OMC-R and the TIL. However, the user is always able to view the updated sector configurations by using the refresh option. Since the TIL display is driven by the actual configuration of the BTS1800, the TIL is not able to display any sector related information for TDMA that is present in the cabinet but not yet configured, or if RM modules are dynamically plugged into the BTS 18000/6000. Identifying the BCCH carrying TDMA TIL graphically identifies the BCCH carrying TDMA for each sector. see Figure 87 "TIL MMI main cabinet" (page 258). The choice of BCCH carrying TDMA is configurable and is also subject to dynamic re--allocations triggered by BSC Defense mechanisms. Consequently, the user has a refresh option to display the updated information. TIL during start--up automatically seeks the BCCH related information from the BTS 18000/6000. The relevancy of the initial display is subject to the corresponding TDMA configurations having been completed for the TRX prior to the initiation of the TIL connection.
258
Display of the dynamic changes in BCCH allocation are not reflected automatically on the TIL. The user must perform a manual refresh.

4.1 Introduction
The IPM TML web server provides a local maintenance interface to the Internet Protocol module (IPM), and is used only for BTS nodes that use Abis over IP. This interface allows the user of a TML PC to connect to the IPM, run diagnostic tests, and perform commissioning activities. The TML IPM applies to the following BTS:
BTS18000 BTS9000 BTS6000 S8000 family S12000 BTS
The TML IPM supports the following types of IPM: IPM RIPM IPM-USER RIPM-USER
4.1.1 IPM conguration and connection

IPM: The IP module for BTS6000, BTS9000, and BTS 18000 family cabinets is plugged in the IBP or CIBP rack. RIPM: Redundant IP module for BTS6000, BTS9000, and BTS 18000 family cabinets that contains additional components in order to provide hardware redundancy inside the module.
274
IPM-USER: IP module for S8000/S12000 CBCF family is plugged in the cabinet USER rack (outdoor cabinets) or in an external rack (indoor configurations). RIPM-USER: Redundant IP module for BTS 18000 family cabinets that contains additional components in order to provide hardware redundancy inside the module.
4.2 Operating mode

The users can launch the TML tool in two modes: Local mode: the TML server is accessed from a web browser running on a PC connected to the Ethernet debug port of the active IPM. Remote mode: the TML web server is accessed from the IBOS software, which is co-located with the OMC-R. The users can run the TML functions in two modes: Stand-alone mode: if an IPM has not established any connection with both IBOS and IPG. Connected mode: if the IPM has established a connection with IBOS and IPG. Remote access is allowed for connected mode only.
4.2.1 Presentation
The diagram shows launching of TML in local and remote mode.
4.2 Operating mode Figure 90 Launch of TML in local/remote mode
275
276
4.2.1.1 Purpose
The IPMs TML is used by different types of users for different purposes:
During installation of IPM on customer site: setting commissioning parameters For troubleshooting: IPM information display, tests execution, and result display After installation from IBOS (in remote): IPM information display and update of commissioning parameters
4.2.1.2 OAM model

This following figure shows the client/server architecture with a web server running on the IPM card and a web browser on the TML PC displaying the IPM TML graphical user interface.
Figure 91 IPM TML graphical user interface
4.2 Operating mode
277
Unlike the other microprocessor-equipped circuit packs at the BTS, the IPM implements its TML software as a web server. No special software is required in the local maintenance PC except for a web browser, which displays the GUI.
4.2.1.3 IPM/RIPM configuration

TML needs to manage two types of IPMs:
IPM (or IPM_USER): with 1 IPM core RIPM (or RIPM_USER): with 2 IPM cores
Each IPM core has its own web server but TML functions are available only on the active IPM. On the RIPM, an LED on the front of the module indicates which core is active. Commissioning parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory space, which is common to both cores in case of RIPM configuration and are updated by the TML on the active IPM.
Figure 92 Commissioning parameters for active/passive
4.2.1.4 Concurrent accesses to the TML web server

TML web server prohibits concurrent accesses to the update of commissioning parameters and to some tests. It also prohibits problems between remote and local connections in order for Nortel to activate the stand-alone mode if needed.
278
Concurrent accesses are not easy to control though a web server. The TML IPM warns the users when concurrent connections are detected and lets the users manage this concurrence rather than limit the accesses risking unexpected blocking situations.
4.2.1.5 Protocols used by TML in local/remote mode

The following figure shows the different protocols used by the TML web server in remote and in local mode.
Figure 93 Protocols used by TML in local/remote mode
4.3 Launching and quitting the IPM TML application

This section contains procedures for starting and stopping IPM TML sessions.
4.3 Launching and quitting the IPM TML application
279
4.3.1 Starting an IPM session in stand-alone local mode CAUTION

Service interruption
If the BTS is in service, performing this procedure on an IPM or on a RIPM where the inactive core has service-affecting fault will disconnect this BTS from the BSC. Existing calls will drop and no new calls can be established.
CAUTION
Service interruption (traffic aggregation)
If an IPM is carrying aggregated traffic from another BTS, this procedure will disconnect the dependent BTS from the BSC, causing an outage.
Step 1
Action Enter the URL of the TML web server in the address field of the TML web browser software.
http://<IP-DBF-Active>:4900
2 3 4
Make sure that no connection with IBOS and IPG is possible. Disconnect the Ethernet switch cables if necessary. Reset the IPM if it was connected to the IBOS or IPG. Execute your connection to the TML web server. The TML web server will send a message to inform IPM that it can stop its connection procedure.
--End--
4.3.2 Ending a stand-alone mode

Use the following procedure to end a stand-alone mode of an IPM session. Step 1 2 3 Action Reconnect the Ethernet cables for the connection between IBOS and IPG to be possible again. Reset the IPM. The user must wait for the connection of the IPM with network (IGM or IBOS LED is green) if the user wants to use the TML in local/connected mode.
--End--
280
The stand-alone local mode is possible only if the user logs on the TML while the IPM is in the following states:
No connection set-up with IBOS (TCP/IPsec) No connection alive with IPG (TCP/IPsec)
If the above conditions are true, the log on the TML (sending message TML_CONNECTION_REQUEST) will prevent the IPM from making any more attempts to connect to the IBOS or IPG. This explains why an IPM reset is needed to return in connected mode.
4.3.3 Starting an IPM TML session in connected local mode

In case of using connected local mode, the user waits for the connection of the IPM with the network (IGM or IBOS LED is green) before connecting to the TML web server. Step 1 2 3 4 Action Connect the Ethernet port of the local maintenance PC to the debug Ethernet port of the active IPM core. Open a web browser on the local maintenance PC. Wait until the IPM is connected to the network (the IGM and IBOS LEDs are green). Enter the URL of the TML web server.
http://<IP-DBG-Active>:4900/
--End--
4.3.4 Starting an IPM TML session in remote mode

The web server is launched from the visited IBOS over IPSec with OSK key, using the following URL: http://<IP-Main-Active>:4900/ <IP-Main-Active> IP address of the active IPM (main port) is known by the IBOS.
4.4 IPM hardware commissioning Figure 94 IP addresses and ports used to call the TML web server
281
4.4 IPM hardware commissioning

The IPM TML web server is used during commissioning at the BTS to set the parameters on the IPM that allow the IPM to connect to the IP network and communicate with the IPG at the BSC and the IBOS at the OMC-R. In simple network configurations, the factory-preset values are sufficient to bring the IPM on line, but in other cases additional parameter values are set at the TML before the IPM can connect to the IP network. After the IPM is operational, these parameters can be changed from the TML later, either in remote or local mode.
282
4.4.1 Commissioning principles No commissioning

If the commissioning memory is empty, the IPM uses default values for commissioning parameters. They permit the IPM use in a general case, without any on-site commissioning if E1 PCM is used. They request DHCP and DNS use in the IP network.
Minimum commissioning
When above no commissioning parameters cannot be used, the following list shows the minimum set of parameters that must be commissioned. The IPM is able to connect to an IBOS and to recover other parameters through remote commissioning. If these parameters are not correctly commissioned, the IPM will not be able to connect to any IBOS to get its whole commissioning, the BTS site cannot connect to its BSC, and an on-site local commissioning is mandatory to restart correctly the IPM.
All IPM IP identification parameters All IBOS identification parameters (with at least two IBOS) TOS/DSCP value for IBOS ServiceChannel flow (default value or correct dedicated value)
TML local commissioning

All parameters can be modified on site with local TML. After modification by TML, the new parameters are checked by the IPM software (see 4.4.3 Parameters validity checks (page 283)). If some inconsistency is detected by the IPM software, the request is then refused by the IPM and the IPM software retains the old parameters. If the parameters are correct, they are stored in IPM non-volatile memory. The new parameters are taken into account by the IPM software, differently depending on each parameter: some parameters need IPM restart, some other not (see 4.4.2 Parameters modification management (page 283)). The TML is in charge of requesting the IPM reset just after acknowledgment if necessary. At any IPM restart (even not requested by the TML), the new stored parameters are considered. In case of modification of many parameters, the operator should modify all the parameters before the user resets the IPM. When parameters request resolution with DHCP or DNS servers, the resolution is performed at each IPM start-up (software or hardware start-up).
Remote commissioning
All IP parameters can be modified remotely from OMC-R by remote TML.
4.4 IPM hardware commissioning
283
The remote TML behavior and constraints are exactly the same as local TML. The IPM interface and behavior are also exactly the same for remote TML and local TML. Note that some parameters (TOS/DSCP, User priorities and VlanId on main port, user priority and VlanId on aggregation ports) are also useful for IPG. For these parameters, there is no common update. IPM commissioning and IPG provisioning are both done independently and synchronized by the operator.
4.4.2 Parameters modication management

Only aggregation ports parameters can be taken into account without any IPM reset. All other parameters need IPM restart in order to be taken into account. When they are modified by the TML, the IPM stores them in a non-volatile memory (E2PROM). As long as the IPM is not restarted, these new parameters are not taken into account by the IPM software; the IPM software uses RAM stored parameters. The new parameters are considered at next IPM restart. The IPM software recovers the parameters from non volatile memory at each restart. All parameters can be read from (but not modified by) the OMC-R. To modify parameters from a remote location, you must use the IBOS software to connect to the TML web server.
4.4.3 Parameters validity checks

The following checks are performed by IPM before activating new commissioning parameters
If DHCP use is set to NO, then IPM IP address of core A (and core B in case of RIPM), IPM IP subnet mask, and default gateway must be filled with consistent IP address. If IBOS DNS use is set to NO, then IBOS address are filled with consistent IP address. IBOS list length are consistent with the parameter IBOS number. Number of IBOS in the list must span from 1 to 2. Two IBOS at least must be commissioned: one IBOS in the list and home IBOS or two IBOS in the list. If T1 link is configured, Frame format cannot be set to 03 automatic multi frame with "CRC4 that is reserved for E1 link only.
284
4.5 IPM web server functions in stand-alone mode

The following tests are performed for IPM web server functions in stand-alone mode.
4.5.1 Perform PCM loop test TEST PRESENTATION

4.6.8 Reset IPM TEST PRESENTATION

In all modes, remote or local, stand-alone or connected, the user can request a reset of the IPM using the TML.
289
This reset is useful in the following situations:
Update of commissioning parameters sent; cannot be taken into account before an IPM reset Need to commute from stand-alone to connected mode (or the reverse) locally Need to launch some tests on the passive (the passive will become active) in local/RIPM configuration
PROCEDURE CAUTION
Service interruption
The TML can require an IPM reset, but as TML is embedded in the IPM, the reset will have consequences on the TML itself.
Step 1 2 3

Table 6 Effect of IPM reset on TML connection Configuration at IPM reset request (default parameters used) IPM reset requested in remote (http://<IP-MAIN-Active>:4900/) Consequence on TML TML unavailable during the reset/restart If DHCP is used on IPM, TML must be called with a new URL: http://<new-IP-MAIN-Active>:4900/ RIPM reset requested in remote (http://<IP-MAIN-Active>:4900/) TML unavailable during reset/restart Either DHCP is used or not, the TML URL will change: the ex-passive core is now the active core: http://<new-IP-MAIN-new-Active>:4900/ IPM reset requested in local (http://<IP-DBG-Active>:4900/) TML unavailable during reset/restart The TMLs URL is unchanged. Contacting TML can cause permutation between stand-alone/connected modes. RIPM reset requested in local (http://IP-DBG-Active>:4900/) The TML URL will change: the ex-passive core is now the active core: http://<new-IP-MAIN-new-Active>:4900/ Contacting TML can cause permutation between stand-alone/connected modes.
In some cases, the IP addresses of the active and passive cores are identical. In that case, TML URL will change only in remote mode if the DHCP is used
4.6.9 Reset Ethernet switch

In either remote or local mode, the user can request the reset of the Ethernet switch through the TML. This reset is done without resetting the IPM and so the Ethernet switch will restart with the current commissioned parameters.
CAUTION
IPM Reset Settings
If some Ethernet switch parameters were modified by the commissioning menu, depending on the parameter modified, the user will probably need to reset the entire IPM instead of resetting only the Ethernet switch in order to have them taken into account. See 4.7 IPM commissioning parameters (page 291) for an IPM restart parameter requirements.
4.7 IPM commissioning parameters

CAUTION
Loss of TML connectivity
In remote mode, an Ethernet switch reset causes the connection between the TML and the IPM to drop.
PROCEDURE
Step 1 2 Action From the IPM-TML menu, under the Resets heading, select Ethernet switch. Click on Reset switch.
--End--
4.6.10 Ping IP address TEST PRESENTATION

The user can request this test in all modes (but the test is particularly useful in connected mode to test the network from the IPM). The TML requests a ping from the IPM to the IP address specified by the user and returns the result of the ping. To enhance ping testing, the TML answers all the routers crossed to reach the IP address.
PROCEDURE
Step 1 2 3 Action From the IPM-TML menu, select Ping. The Ping window opens. Enter the IP address of a computer or other IP-enabled device in the field Host to ping. Click on Ping Host. The results of the ping test appear in the Results box.

4.7.1 Parameters control

See 4.4.3 Parameters validity checks (page 283) to be used as a job aid when commissioning the IPM.
4.7.2 IP parameters
The IPM may get its IP parameters by commissioning or dynamically by DHCP request. If DHCP is not used, the following parameters must be commissioned by TML:
(R)IPM core A IP address (R)IPM core B IP address IPM IP subnet mask

299
Default gateway IPM domain name (mandatory only if DNS is used to recover IBOS IP address, see 4.7.3 IBOS parameters (page 299) for more information) DNS server address (commissioning of at least one DNS server is mandatory when DNS is used to recover IBOS IP address, see 4.7.3 IBOS parameters (page 299) for more information)
If DHCP is used, the parameters above are recovered by DHCP request.
4.7.3 IBOS parameters IBOS parameters commissioning

The IPM connected must be commissioned by the home IBOS and the IBOS parameters. The IPM may get its IBOS IP address directly by commissioning or by DNS dynamically. If the DNS is used, the IPM needs the DNS server IP address and its domain name to be able to send the DNS request. See 4.7.2 IP parameters (page 298) for more information. If the DNS is not used, all the commissioned IBOS, including the home IBOS, must be commissioned by a numerical IP address. If the DNS is used, all the commissioned IBOS, including the home IBOS, must be commissioned by their name (simple name or FQDN name). It is mandatory to commission at least two IBOS: one IBOS in the list and the home IBOS, or just two IBOS in the list (home IBOS commissioning is not mandatory). If the same address is commissioned twice (if the two mandatory IBOS are commissioned with the same IP address or the same name), a confirmation pop-up is displayed. If it is confirmed, the new IBOS parameters are validated. The new IBOS parameters are only taken into account at the next IPM restart. When the IBOS parameters are taken into account at start-up and if only one IBOS has been commissioned (if the same name or the IP address has been set for all the commissioned IBOS, including home IBOS), start of minor fault "only one IBOS is commissioned" is sent to IBOS. Note that the start of fault is not sent when new commissioning is validated at the TML but at the next IPM reset and the corresponding end of fault is never sent to the IBOS: the alarm is cleared at the IPM reset and is not re-sent at the IPM restart if a second IBOS has been commissioned. The start of fault is sent at each IPM restart, as long as a second IBOS has not been commissioned.
300
Home IBOS management

At the end of every authentication procedure, the message HomeIBOS is sent by visited IBOS to the IPM. This message provides to the IPM the IP address of its home IBOS. If this IP address does not corresponds to the commissioned home IBOS, the commissioned home IBOS is overwritten with the received home IBOS IP address. In the case the name of the home IBOS has been commissioned, the name is deleted and the following string is displayed at the TML or at the IBOS at commissioning request: "Home IBOS name is not valid or not available; current IP address is "xx.xx.xx.xx". "xx.xx.xx.xx" is the ASCII numerical IP address of the home IBOS. If the received IP address corresponds to the commissioned home IBOS, the commissioned name remains available and is displayed at the TML or at the IBOS at commissioning request. If the numerical IP address of the home IBOS has been commissioned, it is overwritten by the received IP address which is displayed at the TML or at the IBOS at commissioning request. Note that the home IBOS (IP address or name) is always displayed at the TML or at the IBOS at commissioning request even if it has not been commissioned by the operator.
