Gains
The Web LMT is based on the Web
without a client.
The 2G&3G local maintenance functions
are integrated, and thus the
maintenance work of the BSC is
simplified.
The CME, based on the unified NMS
platform, supports multi-mode access
and GBSS full configuration and
provides the inter-NE management
function.
Changes
BSC6900 Web LMT
MML client
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.
HUAWEI Confidential
The Web LMT adopts the Web
technology, and the interface style is
changed.
The graphical configuration function is
provided by the CME and is further
enhanced.
Some MML commands are optimized for
the Web LMT.
An independent tool is provided to
support traced file browsing. The
tracing offline browsing tool analyzes
the traced files.

OM Architecture of the BSC6900
The OM entities of the BSC6900 are the M2000, Web LMT, and CME.
As the centralized NMS, the M2000 retains the original functions and OM channel.
The LMT functions are Web-based; no client is provided, and therefore installation is
not required; the version coupling is cancelled; joint client upgrade is not involved.

Main functions: Downlink: OM command
delivery (MML/Bin). Uplink: OM result reporting
(MMLReport/Bin Msg/File).
Interface connecting the Web LMT: It is used to
access the OMU local files and database.
Interface connecting the MBSC hardware: It is
used to access the services provided by the
hardware, set the hardware running
parameters, and monitor the hardware.
Interface connecting the other MBSC
applications: It is used to set the running
parameters, obtain the fault status, and obtain
the performance measurement data.
Interface connecting the BTSs: It is used for
the MBSC to manage the BTSs. It employs
Huawei proprietary protocol.
Interface connecting the NodeBs: It is used as
the file relay proxy and provides the SNTP time

Comparison Between the BSC6900 LMT and
the BSC6000 LMT (1)
The BSC6900 adopts the Web LMT that does not require a client or
installation. Through the BSC6900 Web site you can access the Web LMT.
You can run MML commands on the Web LMT to implement OM and configuration
functions of BSC6900 GSM and BSC6900 UMTS.
The Web LMT cancels version coupling and does not involve joint client upgrade.
After the OM focus is transferred to the upper layer, the usage habits of some
functions are changed.
After the configuration function of the original LMT version is transferred to the
upper layer, the single-point configuration and OM operation mode of the original
BSC6000 LMT are changed, that is, some operations require interface swap. For
example, after a BTS is added on the CME, you need to check the transmission
status of the BTS through the Web LMT.
Improvement: The OM function on the M2000 will be further enhanced to make the
configuration interface and OM interface unified and make the OM work centralized.

Web LMT
Bandwidth
requirements
Delphi LMT
When the Web LMT is used, the bandwidth between
the Web LMT and the connected NE is required to be
higher than 512 kbit/s. If the bandwidth is lower than
512 kbit/s, the performance of the Web LMT is poor; if
the bandwidth is higher than 2 Mbit/s, the
performance of the Web LMT is the optimal
performance.
The memory (IE+java) used by the Web LMT for
logging in to a BSC is 120 MB. Therefore, it is
Memory requirements recommended that the maximum number of Web
LMTs started on the PC with 512 MB memory be 3 or
4.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.
HUAWEI Confidential
Page 9
It does not require
much bandwidth and
can function properly
with the bandwidth of
64 kbit/s.
One client uses 40 MB
to 50 MB memory.
Therefore, more than
10 clients can be
started on the PC with
512 MB memory.
Logging in to the Web LMT
Enter the IP address of the BSC6900 to be accessed into the address bar of the IE
to enter the Web LMT login interface.
Install the Java plugin before using the Web LMT for the first
time.

The Web LMT supports batch processing and can execute multiple MML commands
concurrently. The maximum size of the
MML command file that the Web LMT can load is 4 MB.
Click Batch in the Web LMT interface, and then the batch processing interface is displayed.
Scripts can be executed in
batches in full mode, single-step

File Manager
The file manager is an LMT component that enables file uploading and downloading
between the LMT and the OMU. The functions of the file manager are the same as those of
the FTP client, for example, log obtaining and data configuration file uploading.
The file manager addresses the issue that file transfer is unavailable because the FTP
interface is disabled due to network isolation.

Language Setting
By default, the data transmission between the OMU and Web LMT does not support the
Western European character set (for example, Spanish). Therefore, if BTS names contain
Western European characters, language setting is required; otherwise, the Western
European characters that the Web LMT obtains are illegible characters.
Language setting does not refer to setting the language in the Web LMT
interface.
Language setting refers to setting the character set for data transmission
between the NE and the Web LMT.

Configuration Mode
Effective mode
Function: After the system configuration data is modified, the data needs to be
delivered to the corresponding physical board and take effect. For example, after the
data of a present board is modified, the modification is considered successful only after
the data is delivered from the OMU to the board and takes effect on the board.
Command: SET CFGDATAEFFECTIVE
Ineffective mode
Function: A physical board can be configured even if the board is not present. For
example, the data of a board can be modified even if the board is not present. In this
case, the configuration operations are performed only on the OMU.
Command: SET CFGDATAINEFFECTIVE
The configuration mode granularity is subrack; when a subrack is added, the
subrack is in the online state; swaps can be implemented through commands.
Offline configuration is applicable to batch data execution in initial configuration
or upgrade, to expansion configuration, and to the scenario where partial data is
inconsistent.

BSC Software Management
Function description
The software loading process involves two operations. First, load the software from
the OMU to the working area of the board; after the loading, the software running on
the board is not changed. Then, reset the board, and then the software running on the
board is changed to the loaded one. A series of commands are provided for
comparison and synchronization to learn about the relationship among the software on
the working area of the board, software running on the board, and software on the
OMU.
Application scenario
Run CMP BRDVER to check whether the version of the software on the OMU is the
same as that of the software running on the board. If not, run LOD BRD to load the
required software to the working area of the board, and then reset the board so that the
software running on the board is the same as that on the OMU. Then, you can run CMP
BRDAREA to check whether the software on the OMU is the same as that on the
working area of the board. If not, run SYN BRDAREA to synchronize the software on
the OMU with that on the working area of the board. For the board in the remote
subrack, run SYN FS to load the software to the relay server of the remote subrack, and
then run SYN BRDAREA to load the software to the working area of the board.

BSC Patch Management
Function description
The patch-related operations such as loading, rollback, activation, deactivation,
deletion, confirmation, and query. A one-key patch installation command is provided to
facilitate operation. That command combines the operations such as loading,
activation, and confirmation.
Application scenario
After a patch is loaded, the patch is in the deactive state and needs to be activated.
After being activated, the patch runs in trial mode. During the trial use period, if an
exception occurs, the patch can be deactivated to stop running. If the patch runs
properly during the trial use period, you can confirm the patch. Then, the patch runs
automatically even if the board is reset. Perform the preceding operations in order.
Alternatively, you can use one-key installation to load, activate, and confirm a patch.
You can query the current patch and the versions for rollback, and then you can roll
back the patch to an earlier version. You can delete a patch at any time, and then you
need to load the patch again.
