To make a create plan

Create new LAPD links into the plan.

Create new BCF into plan.

Create new BTSs into the plan.

Create new TRXs into the plan.

Follow the detailed description on the following slides.

Note! Make sure that all the mandatory creation parameters are defined in the plan. For more information on these parameters, refer to Mandatory GSM parameters in the NED.

Tip! Select the view Site Creation 2G. This editor view contains parameters relevant when creating new BTS sites.

Create LapD-links according to the parameter tables in the Appendix of this exercise document (or from a handout of the instructor).

Make sure, that the following rules are fulfilled:

1) One BCFSIG (LapD-channel for OMU link) must be created per BCF-object in the plan.

2) One TRXSIG (LapD link for TRX) must be created for every TRX-object in the plan.

3) The SAPI (Service Access Point Identifier) must be 0 for TRXSIGs and 62 for BCFSIGs.

4) The TEI (Terminal Equipment Identifier) is always 1 for BCFSIG.

5) The TEI must be equal to the TRX-ID for every TRXSIG.

Note! You should leave the ID field for the LapD blank, because the ID is reserved automatically. This reserved temporary ID is used when the object is saved to the RAC database. The parent BSC gives the final ID when provisioning the plan to the network. In the name field, give a unique LAPD Link Name for the object. The name must be written in upper case.

Note! When creating new LAPD links for PrimeSites, the BCFSIG is also attached to the TRX-object, not to the BCF-object, i.e. the TRX-object has then two LapD-links attached.

Tip! You only have to give the PCM and TSL values for the first channel. The rest of the channel data is automatically added to the plan by running the TRXParamsFill correction rule with CM Analyser. (This is explained in the course of this exercise).

Tip! Do not mix up the parameters LapD Link Name and and O&M LapD Link Name. The O&M LapDlink is only used for Prime Sites.

Note! If you want apply the corrections performed by CM Analyser to your plan, go to tab Post-Check Actions and select Generate Corrections.

Check the result of the rule check an whether the corrections have been applied correctly to your plan.

Tips for trouble shooting, if the download fails:

-read the error log carefully: which objects could not be created for which reason?

-Check with MML, which objects have been created in BSC

-ZEEI to check the RNW objects.

-ZDSB or ZDTI to check the LapDs.

-Check with CM Editor in the Actual Configuration node, which objects have been created in the NetAct database. If an object is listed in small letters, it is non-operational, i.e. it exists in the OSS database, but not in the network. Delete those non operational objects with Network Editor -> Delete from database.

-If you want use the same plan to make corrections, e.g. create those objects, which could not be created in the first try, delete the objects from the plan, which are already in the network and keep the objects which have not been created yet. Update, i.e. rename your corrected plan, before you activate it.

-If an object has been created in the network with wrong parameters, make a deletion plan. You can set the corresponding objects in your creation-plan to delete for this purpose. Remove the other object from the plan which are not affected and update, i.e. rename your plan before the download.

-Before you download the correction plan, upload the actual configuration in order to synchronise the NetAct database with the NE database.

If a managed object is still locked, try to unlock it manually with CM Editor or MML.

Unlock first the TRX(s), then the BTS(s) and last the BCF(s). When the BCF is unlocked, the GSM BTS site performs a restart.

Completing the RNW Plan in RAC with CM Editor

Refer to the NED document Creating BTS Sites, section: To complete the GSM RNW plan with CM Editor and perform the steps, which are necessary.

The prerequisites in this case are:

SITE, ANTE or GCAL objects are not needed here.

EDGE and GPRS are not used.

Adjacencies are not created here (This is covered in Training Document Managing adjacencies)

Note! In case, you want to attach LapD-channels to the corresponding objects, there is a special parameter called Destination can be added to the Editor view for an LAPD. Its value indicates the BCF or TRX DN that uses the LAPD. If the Destination value is empty, the LAPD is free and can be attached to either the BCF or TRX.

Verifying and Cleanup

Assigning the BTS to its final Maintenance region

Check alarms


Verifying and Clean-up

Open CM Editor and browse into Actual part.

Select the managed object that you want to modify the MR for.

Right click at the object and choose Assign maintenance region from the pop-up menu.

The Maintenance region dialog opens.

Choose the MR that you want and then click Assign.


Verifying and Clean-up

Open the Alarm Monitor from Top-Level User Interface -> Utils -> Fault Mgmt -> Alarm Monitor.Go to Configuration -> Monitoring Criteria.

Click on the Add-button in order to get a listing with managed objects in the RAC database. Select the object(s), you want to monitor, e.g. the new BTS.

Click on the magnifying glass.

On the main screen, you can see the alarms of the object(s) you selected beforehand.
