Introduction
1.1 Positioning
This document is released with the eWBB2.1 Solution. The version of the product
corresponds to M2000 V200R012&V200R013.
The iManager M2000 centrally manages Huawei mobile network elements (NEs), including
LTE/EPC NEs. The M2000 provides basic functions such as configuration management,
performance management, fault management, security management, log management,
topology management, software management, and system management. It also provides
various optional functions.
The M2000 provides centralized operation and maintenance (OM) functions for the Huawei
mobile element management solution. The M2000 adopts a modular design that allows the
modules to communicate with one another through the CORBA bus. In addition, the M2000
provides mediations for connecting various types of NEs.
IP clock: IPCLK1000
1.3 Benefits
Open Structure Allows for Smooth Evolution
The M2000 is a future-proof solution for managing mobile networks. It provides a centralized
network management platform for supporting users in their long-term network evolution and
shielding the differences between various network technologies. The M2000 focuses on the
continuous efforts of users toward better network OM and retains the O&M experience of
previous network management systems.
Issue 01 (2012-09-30)
Page 5 of 31
The M2000 server software consists of the main version software and mediation software.
The main version software implements system functions, and the mediation software is used
for the adaptation of different NE interfaces. The M2000 can manage new NEs after the
corresponding mediation software is installed. The M2000 adopts an open structure so that it
can manage LTE radio network and core network devices. In addition, the M2000 can evolve
accordingly when the network evolves.
Reduce OPEX
The iSStar enhancement maintenance platform enables O&M engineers to customize the
service process by editing programs. With it, the M2000 can automatically handle O&M tasks
in batches.
In addition, the M2000 provides a series of featured functions, including network health check,
remote and batch upgrade of NEs, automatic base station planning, remote base station
commissioning, device panels, and maintenance-mode alarm setting.
These functions greatly facilitate operation and maintenance and therefore reduce the total
cost of operation (TCO).

Architecture
2.1 Overview
The M2000 system works in client/server (C/S) mode.
The M2000 software consists of the client software, server software, and NE mediation
software. The client software runs on the M2000 client, and the server software and mediation
software run on the M2000 server.
This chapter describes the hardware and software structures of the M2000 system.

NE mediation software
NE mediation software varies according to the NE version. Through the adaptation of the NE
mediation software, the M2000 connects to the NE of the corresponding version.

3.1 Overview
The M2000 provides various O&M solutions for users to meet the requirements of network
deployment, network monitoring, and network adjustment. Users can select proper M2000
systems as required.
3.2 OM Solutions
The M2000 provides the low-cost solution and network time synchronization solution.
Low-Cost Solution
The M2000 provides a low-cost solution, which uses the single-server system based on the
IBM platform to manage LTE/EPC network devices for operators. This solution meets users'
demands for routine network OM operations. In addition, it helps operators or users to reduce
their purchase costs. In the low-cost solution, the single-server system based on the IBM
platform uses IBM PC server and does not need disk arrays.
The clock source and NTP server are provided by the telecom operator, and the M2000
server functions as the NTP client or intermediate NTP server. When functioning as an
intermediate NTP server, the M2000 can synchronize time with the upper-layer NTP
server and provide a clock source that managed NEs can synchronize with.
A dedicated clock server is provided, along with two NTP service channels working in
active/standby mode. The clock source server can be deployed as the top NTP clock
server, or as a medium NTP clock server.

NE Health Check
The NE health check function is used to check NE status and identify and locate potential
network problems before and after an NE upgrade, during routine network maintenance, or
when an exception occurs in the network. This facilitates troubleshooting.
Page 11 of 31
between devices, and connection status between devices and the M2000. This helps users to
monitor the running status of the entire network.
Performance Monitoring
Using the performance monitoring function, the M2000 collects KPIs in real time, provides
associated data analysis, threshold alarm settings, and threshold warnings, and displays the
network operating status in a graph correctly. This facilitates routine network maintenance
and fault location. In addition, the M2000 provides performance monitoring functions based
on scenarios such as network deployment, routine maintenance, and operations during
holidays, meeting various user requirements.
To ensure that alarm data is accurate and intact, the M2000 provides the functions of
automatically and manually synchronizing alarm data in case of NE or network
disconnection.
To ensure that information can be effectively transmitted to users in real time, the M2000
provides audio and visual alarm notification through topology tips, alarm boxes, and
alarm boards. The M2000 can also send alarm information in short messages and emails
to ensure that the information is transmitted in time even when the site is unattended.
To help users to quickly locate the required information in the midst of a large amount of
alarm or event information, the M2000 provides the filtering function based on various
conditions. For example, users can filter alarm/event information by alarm/event source,
occurrence time, severity, and name.
To ensure that users can identify the required key alarms and events during routine
operation and maintenance, the M2000 provides the functions of redefining alarm
severities, converting events to Auto Detected Manual Cleared (ADMC) alarms,
shielding alarms on the M2000, shielding alarms on NEs, filtering maintenance mode
alarms, summarized parallel alarms, and alarm frequency analysis.
To help users handle alarms in time, the M2000 provides the functions of locating alarms
in a topology view, automatically clearing alarms, manually clearing alarms, and
displaying and analyzing alarms based on alarm correlations. In addition, the information
about how to handle alarms can be recorded on the M2000 for sharing purposes.

Security Monitoring
The M2000 provides security monitoring functions, which enable users to obtain information
about unauthorized activities or audit user operations in time. You can perform the following
operations through the M2000:
Monitoring online NE users and related user operations and forcing a user to exit
To ensure that the configuration data is accurate and valid, the M2000 provides the
functions of synchronizing configuration data automatically, manually, and on a
scheduled basis in cases of configuration modification and network disconnection.
The M2000 enables users to query network configuration information in real time for
troubleshooting and configuration adjustment. In addition, the M2000 provides NE
reports, CN resource reports, NE statistical reports, link reports, and RAN configuration
reports.
The M2000 provides the status monitoring function, which enables users to obtain the
management status of objects such as cells, boards, and links, in the network in time.
The M2000 generates link status reports on a set schedule. This helps users identify link
exceptions when links are disconnected or the alarm information is unclear.
Troubleshooting
The M2000 provides subscriber tracing, cell tracing, interface tracing, and real-time NE
resource monitoring functions through GUIs and supports centralized tracing management for
the entire network. This helps OM engineers locate call-related faults and network faults,
optimize the network coverage, and solve interconnection problems. This reduces the OM
costs for users.
The device panel displays the boards of physical devices in a graph and displays the board
status and alarm information in real time. In addition, the M2000 provides a topology view of
RRUs for distributed base stations. This helps users keep track of the relationships between
sites and locate faults.
iSStar
The M2000 provides a powerful script enhancement maintenance platform, HFC library
function, and an easy-to-use High level Script Language (HSL).
Users can create an HSL script for routine maintenance, which is time-consuming and tedious,
use the iSStar to edit, debug, and run the HSL script, and then trigger the script by setting
