Overview

1.1 Guide to Operations in the WiMAX O&M center

This document is helpful for the WiMAX RF engineers to operate the common tools. It describes how to use the BTS LMT, GW LMT, M2000, and WCS. The contents are listed as follows:

When working in the O&M center, the RF engineers should comply with the related regulations and precautions. 2. Operation and maintenance of the DBS3900 LMT

This section describes how to perform the R1 and R6 signal tracing for a single user, MML command running, user information monitoring, and carrier tracing of the DBS3900 LMT. 3. Operation and maintenance of the WASN9770 LMT

This section describes how to perform the R6 and R3 signal tracing for a single user and run MML commands of the WASN9770 LMT. 4. Operation management of the M2000

This section describes how to create the traffic measurement task, obtain the traffic measurement data, query BTS alarms, and run M2000 MML commands on the M2000 client. 5. Operation of the WCS

This section describes how to perform the BTS parameter batch processing, add neighbor cells, and import and export BTS radio parameters.

1.2 Introduction to the WiMAX Networking

The following figure shows the WiMAX networking. The GW is connected to the BTS equipment over the R6 interface and connected to the M2000 Server of the AAA Server over the R3 interface. The WiMAX RF engineers are mainly involved in operations in the local O&M center (using the LMT) or central O&M center (using the M2000).

Figure 1.1 Introduction to the WiMAX network architecture

For different WiMAX networks, BTSs, and GWs are assigned with different IP addresses, different user names and passwords, which are managed and assigned by the O&M center management staff, who should comply with the relevant regulations.

1.3 Introduction to the Environment of the O&M center

This document describes how to use the common tools such as the BTS LMT, M2000, and Nastar. This section will give an example. The O&M center is installed with a set of GWs, the AAA Server, and the M2000.The following table lists the IP addresses, user names, and passwords for the NEs:

The Nastar uses the data collection tool to collect data. The user name and password are the same as those of the FTP server on the M2000. By default, the user name is ftpuser, and the password is not required.

Pls confirm and double check the IP address, user name, and password for each NE.

1.4 Code of Conduct and Precautions

When working in the O&M center, RF engineers should comply with the following regulations and precautions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Be on and off duty on time. Follow the regulations to enter and exit the O&M center. Do not drink or eat in the O&M center. In general, we are not allowed to bring cups or glasses into the O&M center. All the user names, passwords, and IP addresses for different OM clients should be assigned and managed by the manger of the O&M center. Do not operate if not required, such as resetting boards and modifying system parameters. The manager of the O&M center is responsible for ensuring availability of the operation platform. For example, ensure that the free disk space of the M2000 server is sufficient. Send the traced data files to the RF engineers in time. Delete the traced data files on the client in time. Otherwise, too much disk space is occupied. Due to the high safety requirements for the operation platform, do not copy files by using any storage medium on the operation platform. To upload script files to the operation platform and download operation result files to wer own laptop, connect wer laptop to the server with the Ethernet cable of the internal maintenance network segment.

6.

Do not connect any USB storage medium directly to any server of the O&M center. If any USB storage medium is directly connected to the M2000, AAA, or other system servers, the PC may be infected by viruses.

Operation and Maintenance of the DBS3900 LMT

2.1 Introduction to the DBS3900 Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT)

The DBS3900 LMT is used to operate and maintain a single DBS3900. The network planning and optimization engineer need to use the LMT to modify parameters, trace signaling, and observe carrier status. On the PC, install the LMT software with default configurations. To use the DBS3900 LMT, the R6 interface can be connected to the BBU local maintenance port through the router. Precautions: 1. 2. 3. We need to select a language for installing the software, for example, English or Chinese. Ensure that the software version is consistent with the BTS version. The serial number of the version should be WiMAX BTS. The installation type should be typical installation.

2.2 Installing and Starting the DBS3900 LMT

The following figure shows the dialog box displayed for selecting a language during the installation of the LMT.

2.3 R1 Signal tracing for a Single DBS3900 User

For problems involving network access, access failure, and handoff of NEs such as terminals and the BS, the network planning and optimization engineer need to query the R1 signaling of the air interface. To perform the R1 signal tracing for a single user, do it as follows: Step 1 After logging in to the LMT, click Maintenance (1), and then double-click R1 User Tracing (2). In the displayed dialog box, select All (3) of the Direction dropdown list box, enter MAC (4) for the terminal to be traced, click Select All of Trace Message Type (5), and then click the button in the red rectangle (6) to select the path to save the signaling files automatically.

Operation and Maintenance of the WASN9770 of the LMT

3.1 Overview of the WASN9700 LMT

WASN9770 LMT is a tool used for operation and maintenance of the WiMAX gateway WASN9770. The network planning and maintenance engineers need to modify parameters and trace signaling by using the LMT. The WASN9770 LMT can be connected either to the R6 interface or to the local gateway maintenance port. Precautions: We need to choose a language for installing the software, for example, English or Chinese. Ensure that the software version is consistent with the WASN gateway version. The serial number of the version should be WASN9770. The installation type should be typical installation.

3.2 Installing and Starting the WASN9770 LMT

The installation of the WASN9770 LMT is almost same as the DBS3900 LMT. For details, see section 2.2Installing and Starting the DBS3900 LMT.

Operation Management of the M2000

4.1 Overview of the M2000

iManager M2000 is a uniform management platform for Huawei mobile networks. Currently, WiMAX2000 controls only the DBS3900, having the functions of batch processing of deployment data, batch processing of parameter modification, hardware and radio parameter importing and exporting, alarm querying, and traffic measurement customizing and obtaining.

4.2 Staring the M2000 Client

The network planning engineer use the M2000 to: 1. 2. 3. Obtain traffic data; Query alarm; Modify BTS parameters by running MML commands.

Double-click the icon of the M2000 to log in to the M2000. We need to enter the user name and password. Generally, the user name and password are managed and assigned by the management engineer for the O&M center. To start the M2000 client, pls do it as follows: Step 2 Enter User Name and Password, and then click the button in the red rectangle, as shown in Figure 1.1.

4.3 Operations of Traffic Measurement Data on the M2000 Client

4.3.1 Creating the Traffic Measurement Task
Currently, the DBS3900 can measure eight performance specifications, which are network access, network withdrawal, handoff, throughput, carrier load, link quality, sleep mode, and idle mode. We can use the M2000 to customize the measurement of these performance specifications and create the traffic measurement task. To create the traffic measurement task on the M2000 client, pls do it as follows: Step 1 Choose Performance > Measure Management > Measure Settings, as shown in the following figure.

Step 2 Click the Measure Management tab, and then select BWA (standing for the DBS3900) so that we can select specific specifications and carriers to be traced.

We can infer that the traffic measurement task is created, and the BTS uploads the set the measurement results to the M2000 per 30 seconds. Figure 1.1 Measurement Status

Before obtaining traffic measurement data, we need to create the traffic measurement task. We are advised to create the traffic measurement task after the M2000 server is configured.

4.3.2 Obtaining Traffic Measurement Data

After the measurement task is created, the M2000 saves all performance specifications reported during BTS carrier monitoring. To obtain the traffic measurement data within 30 days, do it as follows: Step 1 Choose Performance > Query Result, as shown in Figure 1.1.
