Current data area: Used to store the configuration data on the live network. The data
can only be viewed.
Planned data area: Used by different users for data planning and data configuration.
Users can create multiple planned data areas based on the data in the current data
area to perform different configuration tasks.
The CME provides a current data area and multiple planned data areas. Multi-area
management improves data configuration efficiency and enables several users to
configure the same NE at the same time.
The current data area of the CME obtains the configuration data of NEs from the
existing network through the synchronization function.
Before configuring data, users copy the data of one or more NEs from the current
data area to the planned data areas created by themselves.
Users perform data planning and data planning in their own planned data areas.
NOTE:
If multiple users configure the data of one NE at the same time, data conflict occurs.
The CME provides a conflict check function to guarantee the data validity.
After the data planning and data configuration is complete, users save the
configuration data in the planned data areas as configuration scripts. Then,
users activate the scripts for the scripts to take effect on the existing network.
The current data area of the CME obtains the updated configuration data of
NEs from the existing network through the synchronization function.
The CME defines different operation authority contents for different maintenance
tasks. An operation can be performed only by authorized users.
The CME classifies all operations into NE-irrelevant operations and NE-relevant
operations. The authority corresponding to an NE-irrelevant operation is called a
network management application authority. The authority corresponding to an NE-
relevant operation is called a network device authority.

comments
When ATM transport is applied to the Iub interface, the sequence of adding Iub
interface data should be consistent with the protocol structure, that is, from the lowest
layer to the highest layer and from the control plane to the user plane.
The transport network layer of the Iub interface consists of the transport network layer
user plane (area A), the transport network layer control plane (area B), and the
transport network layer user plane (area C).
Areas A, B, and C share the physical layer and ATM layer. Therefore, all links in the
three areas can be carried on common physical links.
Links in areas A and B are carried on SAAL links. Based on the type of carried
information, the upper layer of area A is classified into the NCP and CCPs. Only
ALCAP links are carried in area B.
In area C, the user plane data is carried on AAL2 paths. The bearer at the lower layer
is the ATM PVC. Under the control of ALCAP, AAL2 connections can be dynamically
set up or released for the transmission of upper-layer services. Therefore, each AAL2
path must have its corresponding controlling ALCAP.
SAAL:Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer
AAL2:ATM Adaptation Layer 2
UNI:User Network Interface
ALCAP:Access Link Control Application Protocol
NBAP:NodeB Application Part
NCP:NodeB Control Port
CCP:Communication Control Port
IMA(Inversed Multiplexing over ATM) means to inversely multiplex the ATM cell flow
over a high-speed link onto several low-speed links at the TX end for transmission,
and then converge the cell flows from several low-speed transmission links into a
high-speed cell flow at the RX end.
IMA group is a logical concept, which allows multiple E1 links to be logically grouped.
These E1 links are named IMA links. To add an IMA link, ensure that the IMA group
containing this IMA link exists.
The IMA link can be added only when the target IMA group is successfully
created.
An E1/T1 link can be used by only one application at the same time. For
example, the link cannot be set to an IMA link and UNI link at the same time. If
an E1/T1 link is used as an IMA link, it cannot be used as a UNI link. If an
E1/T1 link is used as a UNI link, it cannot be used as an IMA link.
The IMA links in an IMA group must be of the same type, that is, the links must
be E1 links or T1 links.
If a loopback error (local loopback or physical loopback) occurs on an IMA link,
the IMA link is automatically deleted from its IMA group.
Device IP addresses can only be configured on the interface board. Each interface
board can be configured with a maximum of 16 device IP addresses.
The local IP address and the peer IP address must be on the same subnet.
The parameters TX traffic record index and RX traffic record index must be
set to the same value.

There are two types of networking on the Iub interface, namely, layer 2 networking
and layer 3 networking. Compared with layer 3 networking, layer 2 networking is
simpler. That is because the port IP addresses of the BSC and NodeB are located on
the same network segment and no route is required.
IP 1 and IP 2 are port IP addresses.
IP 1 and IP 2 are device IP addresses on the IP interface board. IP 3 and IP 4 are port
IP addresses on the IP interface board. IP 5 and IP 6 are gateway IP addresses on
the BSC side. IP 7 is the gateway IP address on the NodeB side. IP 8 is the IP
address of the NodeB.
On the Iub interface where layer 3 networking is applied, you should configure the
route.
The Iub IP addresses at the BSC consist of IP addresses of Ethernet ports, local IP
addresses of PPP links, local IP addresses of MLPPP groups, and device IP
addresses.
