DBS3900 GSM Site Maintenance Terminal User Guide

This describes the definitions, functions, logical objects, and other attributes of the software window of the Site Maintenance Terminal. The Site Maintenance Terminal is used to commission, maintain, and troubleshoot a BTS. 3 Getting Started with the Site Maintenance Terminal This describes how to connect the Site Maintenance Terminal PC to the BTS, log in to the Site Maintenance Terminal System, and exit the Site Maintenance Terminal, after the Site Maintenance Terminal application is installed. When the transmission is unavailable, you can configure the BTS on the SMT. When the transmission is available, you can only perform query operation on the SMT. 4 Using the Site Management Rights The operations of the site management rights involve obtaining the site management rights and releasing the site management rights. 5 Managing Sites The site management involves viewing site resources, querying the delay in reporting board alarms, resetting the BTS, testing whether the boards in a site operate normally and whether the connection of transmit links is normal, monitoring and managing the environment parameters in a site, viewing the board parameters of the BTS, testing the RF specifications, and viewing the parameter settings in a ring network and the bar codes of a site. 6 Managing Cells The cell management involves managing cell attributes and cell extended attributes, testing all the BTs and RCs of a cell so that they can be locked or unlocked, and checking whether the BTs and RCs are functional. 7 Managing BTs The BT management involves locking or unlocking a BT, resetting a BT, performing the RC self-test, view the status of the channels on a specified BT, and enabling a specified RC to transmit signals at a predefined power level. 8 Managing RCs The RC management involves setting the attributes and extended attributes of an RC, locking or unlocking an RC, resetting an RC, and adjusting power of an RC automatically. 9 Managing Channels The channel management involves viewing and setting channel attributes, locking or unlocking a channel, and checking the quality of a channel by testing the parameters such as the bit error ratio (BER) and transmit power. 10 BBU Operations The BBU operations involve the query, configuration, and test operations associated with the BBU. You can query the board settings, board information, board extended information, board alarms, and port attributes. You can also perform operations such as board reset, power-off reset, self-test, clock configuration, loopback test, and parameter management. 11 RRU Operations The RRU operations involve the query, configuration, and test operations associated with the RRU. You can query the board information, board extended information, and board alarms. You

At least one route must be configured, with DST IP set to the IP address of the BSC and Gateway set to the IP address of the peer device. l Currently, PPP links and MLPPP links do not support next hop routing. Therefore, only the output port IP address can be configured and the next hop IP address cannot be configured for a PPP link or MLPPP link. l A newly-configured route will overwrite the original one. This section takes the following IP addresses as an example: Item IP address and mask of the BSC IP address and mask of the BTS IP address and mask of the BSC peer device IP address and mask of the BTS peer device Value 10.10.1.1/24 10.10.2.2/24 10.10.1.2/24 10.10.2.1/24
