2.1 Procedure for Commissioning the NodeB on the M2000 This section describes how to commission the NodeB on the M2000. After the NodeB hardware is installed, you can commission the NodeB.

Prerequisite Before commissioning the NodeB, the NodeB, RNC, and M2000 must meet the following requirements: l

NodeBThe hardware of the NodeB, such as the cabinets, cables, antenna system, and auxiliary devices, is installed and passes the installation check. The NodeB is powered on and passes the power-on check.

l

The hardware of the RNC is installed and commissioned, and the system works properly. The negotiated data of the NodeB to be commissioned is configured, and is recorded.

l

The M2000 server is installed with the mediation software corresponding to the target version of the NodeB to be commissioned.

In addition, the following requirements should be met: l

The required NodeB software, BootROM software, and data configuration file are ready. NOTE

l

l

During the deployment of a site, the NodeB may report plenty of alarms that need not be handled by the operator. Such alarms can be automatically cleared. A special alarm handling mechanism is integrated into the NodeB from V200R011C00SPC210. When the NodeB is in a special status, for example, Install, all reported alarms are screened. When Device Status of the NodeB changes to Normal, the alarms that are not cleared in the special status are reported again as common alarms.

l

In the configuration file that is created through the CME, you can set Device Status of the NodeB to Install. For the configuration method, see the NodeB Initial Configuration Guide. When the configuration file is downloaded to the NodeB and becomes effective, Device Status of the NodeB is automatically set to Install. In this status, all reported alarms are screened until the operator sets Device Status of NodeB to Normal.

The transmission and the remote maintenance channels between the NodeB and the M2000 are normal. The M2000 can automatically detect the NodeB to be commissioned.

Commissioning procedure Figure 2-1 shows the procedure for commissioning the NodeB.

2.3 Automatically Searching for NodeBs This section describes how to automatically search for NodeBs. The automatic searching function helps you know information about the NodeBs under an RNC such as the total number of NodeBs under one RNC, the number of NodeBs that connect to the M2000, the number of NodeBs whose names are duplicate, and the number of NodeBs whose IP addresses are duplicated.

Prerequisite l

You have logged in to the M2000 client.

l

The RNCs are well connected to the M2000.

l

The NodeB mediation layer is installed on the M2000.

l

Based on the actual scenario, the NodeB maintenance channel supports the IP protocol stack, ATM protocol stack, and dual stack. The NodeB supports dual maintenance channels. When creating the NodeB, you can set two IP addresses. The primary address is the IP address of the ATM network. The secondary address is the IP address of the IP bearing network. Neither the primary nor the secondary IP addresses can be duplicate with that of other NodeBs, even on a different network. The NodeB can be connected to the network on condition that either of the IP addresses is valid. After the NodeB is disconnected exceptionally, it automatically uses the current IP address to attempt reconnections. If the attempt fails for five times in succession, the NodeB uses the other IP address for the connection.

l

The IP address of the IP bearing network can be dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.

Context

The purpose of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is to provides configuration information such as IP address to the Internet host in a TCP/IP network. The DHCP server can dynamically assigns IP addresses to an Internet host. l

When the maintenance channel supports the ATM protocol stack, you can validate the remote maintenance channel by using the ATM BOOTP technology.

l

The process for automatically discovering the NodeB is as follows:

3.1 Procedure for Commissioning the NodeB Through the USB+M2000 On the NodeB side, you can upgrade the NodeB software and data configurations from the USB disk, check whether the hardware status is normal according to the LED status, and check whether the NodeB VSWR meets the requirements. After the operations on the NodeB side are complete, check the running status of the NodeB on the M2000.

Prerequisite Before commissioning the NodeB, the NodeB, RNC, and M2000 should meet following requirements: l

NodeBThe hardware such as the cabinets, cables, antenna system, and auxiliary devices, is installed and passes the installation check. The NodeB passes a power-on status check and is powered on.

l

The hardware of the RNC is installed and commissioned, and the system works properly. The negotiated data of the NodeB to be commissioned is configured and recorded.

l

The M2000 server is installed with the mediation software corresponding to the target version of the NodeB to be commissioned.

The USB disk for on-site commissioning should be ready for this commissioning. For details, see 3.2 Preparing the USB Disk for On-Site Commissioning. NOTE

l

During the deployment of a site, the NodeB may report plenty of alarms that require no care of the operators. Such alarms can be automatically cleared. A special alarm handling mechanism is integrated into the NodeB from V200R011C00SPC210. When the NodeB is in a special state, for example, newly deployed, all reported alarms are screened. When the NodeBSpecial Status changes into the Normal state, the alarms that are not cleared in the special state are reported as common alarms.

l

In the initial configuration file that is created through the CME, you can set Special Status of the NodeB to Installing. For the setting method, see the NodeB Initial Configuration Guide.

l

When the configuration file is downloaded to the NodeB and becomes effective, the state of the NodeBSpecial Status is automatically set to Installing. In this status, all reported alarms are screened until the operator sets Special Status of NodeB to Normal.

3.3 Upgrading the NodeB Software and Downloading the Data Configuration File (on the NodeB Side) The NodeB supports software upgrade and data configuration file downloading directly from the USB disk. After the download, the NodeB automatically activates the software, and then resets.

Prerequisite l

The NodeB passes a power-on status check and is powered on.

l

The qualified USB disk is ready. For details, see 3.2 Preparing the USB Disk for On-Site Commissioning.

Context When the USB disk is plugged into the corresponding port on the WMPT in the BBU3900, the BBU3900 automatically detects the USB disk and installs the USB disk driver. After the installation, the NodeB automatically reads the software and data configuration file in the fixed directories of the USB disk and verifies their names and formats. Pay attention to the following situations when upgrading the software and downloading data configuration file from the USB disk: l

By default, the NodeB downloads the software and data configuration file from the USB disk by configuration. The NodeB also supports the supplementary download. For example, When the RRU is not connected to the BBU3900 through the optical cable, the software and data configuration file related to the RRU are not downloaded. After the RRU is connected, the software and data configuration file related to the RRU are automatically downloaded from the USB disk.

l

If the USB disk saves only the software, the NodeB automatically upgrades the software.

l

If the USB disk is only saved with the data configuration file, the NodeB automatically downloads the data configuration file.

l

In any of the following situations, the NodeB does not upgrade the software or download the data configuration file from the USB disk. –

The directory or the file does not exist.

–

The file format is illegal.

–

The software version to be used is the same as the active software version.

3.5 Testing the NodeB Antenna VSWR Through the USB Disk (On the NodeB Side) This section describes how to test the VSWR. The VSWR is used to verify if the antenna system is correctly installed. You can test the VSWR through the USB disk on the NodeB side.

Prerequisite l

The NodeB is powered on and passes the power-on check.

l

The USB disk for on-site commissioning is ready. For details, see 3.2 Preparing the USB Disk for On-Site Commissioning.

l

When the USB disk is plugged into the corresponding port on the WMPT in the BBU3900, the BBU3900 automatically detects the USB disk and installs the USB disk driver. After the installation, the NodeB automatically reads the software and data configuration file from the designated directories of the USB disk and verifies their names and formats.

Context

Issue 06 (2010-09-10)

l

When the system reads the VSWR script file STRVSWR.dat, the NodeB starts testing the VSWR.

l

When the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side and the VSWR test on the M2000 side are performed at the same time: If the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side is started before the VSWR test on the M2000 side, the M2000 displays that the NodeB is performing the VSWR test. If the VSWR test on the M2000 side is started before the VSWR test through the USB disk on the NodeB side, the NodeB does not perform the VSWR test through the USB disk and records the failure result to the main control log. Meanwhile, the LED on the USB disk is off.

CAUTION l

Testing the VSWR interrupts the NodeB services. Therefore, you are advised to test the VSWR in low traffic hours or after the NodeB services are isolated.

Procedure Step 1 Plug the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT of the BBU3900, as shown in Figure 3-4.

CAUTION l

After the NodeB software and configurations are upgraded through the USB disk, remove the USB disk and then plug it back into the USB port to start the VSWR test.

l

Before the VSWR test is started, the NodeB should run properly and the CPRI LED on the WBBP should be steady green.

Figure 3-4 Plugging the USB disk into the USB port on the WMPT

Step 2 Wait for the NodeB to automatically test the VSWR. When the USB disk LED is off, the VSWR test is complete. Observe the status of the CPRI LED on the WBBP. l

3-16

If the CPRI LED blinks red (on for 1s and off for 1s), the RRU or WRFU has the VSWR alarm. Clear the alarm by referring to step 4 in 3.4.3 Guidelines for Rectifying Faults. Then, go to Step 3. Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

Issue 06 (2010-09-10)

NodeB Commissioning Guide l


If the CPRI LED is steady green, the test result is normal and there is no VSWR alarm. Unplug the USB disk and end the VSWR test. NOTE

After the VSWR test through the USB disk is complete on site, verify the test result by testing the antenna VSWR of the NodeB on the M2000. For details, see 2.11 Testing the NodeB VSWR on the M2000.

Step 3 Unplug the USB disk first and then plug it back into the USB port. When the USB disk LED is off, observe the CPRI LED on the WBBP to check whether the VSWR is normal. l

If the CPRI LED blinks red (on for 1s and off for 1s), the fault persists. Repeat Step 2 to Step 3.

l

If the CPRI LED is steady green, the test result is normal and there is no VSWR alarm. Unplug the USB disk and end the VSWR test.

If the services are normal and the UL load reaches 75%, the RTWP is 6 dB higher than the RTWP measured when the NodeB carries no service. NOTE

l

If the reported RTWP is valid, a normal RTWP curve is displayed. The values on the vertical axis correspond to the reported RTWP values with the unit of 0.1 dBm.

l

If the reported RTWP is invalid, an abnormal RTWP curve is displayed. The RTWP values for the main antenna form a horizontal line at the point marked -1120 (-112 dBm) on the vertical axis. The RTWP values for the diversity antenna form a horizontal line at the point marked -1115 (-111.5 dBm) on the vertical axis. This error may lie in the absent WRFU, RHUB, RRU, broken link, or faulty channel. Rectify the faults.

Procedure Step 1 In the navigation tree of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Select Realtime Specific Monitoring > RTWP Measurement. The RTWP Measurement dialog box is displayed. For the details of the parameters in the RTWP Measurement dialog box, see Interface Reference for Measuring the RTWP. Step 3 Set the corresponding parameters in the dialog box. Step 4 Click OK. A window is displayed, showing the current monitoring task in graph. Step 5 To stop this test task, use one of the following methods: l

Method 1: Close the task monitoring window directly to stop all monitoring tasks displayed in the window.

l

Method 2: Right-click the task on the monitoring task list and select Delete Task from the shortcut menu. The curve displayed for the task is deleted together with the task.

4.3.4 Monitoring the Output Power of the NodeB This section describes how to monitor the output power of the NodeB, including the typical output power and output power of each carrier.

Prerequisite You have logged in to the NodeB LMT.

Context After the task is started, the system periodically reports the monitored typical power and the output power of each carrier according to the time interval. 4-10


Issue 06 (2010-09-10)



The output power of the NodeB is associated with the configuration and specified services. If the pilot power and typical output power are configured, the output power of the WRFU or RRU is about 3 dB greater than the pilot power when the NodeB carries no services. If the output power of the WRFU or RRU is considerably lower than the pilot power, the output power of the NodeB is abnormal. The pilot power of the WRFU or RRU can be set to 33 dBm. The typical power can be set to 43 dBm.

Procedure Step 1 In the navigation tree of the Local Maintenance Terminal window, click the Maintenance tab. Step 2 Select Realtime Specific Monitoring > Output Power Monitoring. The Output Power Monitoring dialog box is displayed. For the parameter details in the Output Power Monitoring dialog box, see Interface Reference for Monitoring the Output Power Step 3 Set the corresponding parameters in the dialog box. Step 4 Click OK. A window is displayed, showing the current monitoring task in graph. Step 5 To stop this test task, use either of the following methods: l

Method 1: Close the task monitoring window directly to stop all monitoring tasks displayed in the window.

l

Method 2: Right-click the task on the monitoring task list and select Delete Task from the shortcut menu. The curve displayed for the task is deleted together with the task.

4.4 Testing the NodeB VSWR on the LMT This section describes how to test the VSWR. The VSWR is used to verify if the antenna system is correctly installed.

Prerequisite l

You have logged in to the NodeB LMT.

l

The NodeB does not provide any service or the services are isolated.

Context An excessively large VSWR results in a short transmission distance and reduced cell coverage, affecting the normal operation of the system. The normal VSWR ranges from 1 to 2.0. The VSWR less than 1.5 is preferred.

CAUTION l

Testing the VSWR interrupts the NodeB services. Therefore, you are advised to test the VSWR in low traffic hours or after the NodeB services are isolated.

Procedure Step 1 Run the STR VSWRTEST command to test the NodeB VSWR. ----End

Postrequisite

4-12

1.

Verify that the antenna system is correctly installed based on the measured VSWR.

2.

Ensure that the NodeB services resume. Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
