BTSLog

BTSLog tool is used to collect different log files from eNB like:

• UDP log files: SYSLOG_<index>.txt

• Binary log files: BTSLOG_TRACE_<index>.bin

• RealTime log files

5


Tools->Setup

BTS Log: Tracing Setup

Check if this value is set correctly.Value to be used is:51003

6


BTS Log: BTSLog File Settings

Tools->Setup

Log file size and number of files can be adjusted.

Binary and UDP trace are stored on the location specified here.

7


BTS Log: btslog.ini

Tools->Setup

Click on btslog.ini button to view or edit the file.

8


BTS Log: btslog.ini (cont'd)

IP address of the PC on which BTSLog is running.

BTSLog and Firewall Settings

In case only “Ping failed” messages are visible in RealTime log and all necessary settings are correct check the Firewall settings on PC/laptop.E.g. Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Services and disable OfficeScanNT Firewall

If OfficeScan NT Firewall is started: Just “Ping failed” loggedIf OfficeScan NT Firewall is stopped: All real time information is logged

11


BTSLog: HwApi Setting

Important: In new BTSlog installations the configuration of the "Software Products" might be wrong. Press the "Edit" button in the "Software Products" field. In section [PRODUCT_WN] the entry “HwApi” should be set as follows (change from |0|1| to |2|1|) and restart BTSlog application:

[PRODUCT_WN]HwApi = rdparam_sacks\\sw_conf_table.h |enum FEAT_DBG|2|1|

12


Nodes which can be set in BTSLog (which nodes can be configured depends on nodes.ini file used). If some Nodes are configured but not accessible because they aree.g. not installed, they cause ping-not-ok in the BTSLog main window.

BTS Log: Configure Nodes

13


Current Syslog has index 21. The file SYSLOG_021.LOG is stored on predefined location.

Start UDP Log creates Syslog file on pre-defined location

BTS Log: Start UDP Tracing

If View button is pressed the current SYSLOG file will be opened with the predefined editor.

14


Click on this button to start Real Time Log on configured Nodes

BTS Log: Start Tracing and Real Time Views

Up to 4 Real Time Logs can run in parallel (e.g. with different filters).

15


BTS Log: Configure Binary Tracing

In order to collect binary traces appropriate file with extension ‘bts’ need to be loaded to the BTSLog application (Nodes -> BTS Filters)

16


BTS Log: Start Binary Tracing

Starts Binary Tracing. File with name BTSLOG_TRACE_<index>.bin is stored on specified location.Emil application is required to view the trace file.

17


Binary Log Files Viewed With Emil Tool

18


BTSLog Filter

Note: String entered as a filter is case sensitive. Press ‘Apply’ button to apply the new/modified filter.

Filtered RealTime Log

Filter can be applied on RealTime logs. Only those messages will than be displayed which contain one or more strings set in the filter. Another example for usage of the filter: Set ‘OnAir’ string as filter in order to check if the eNB is going into ‘OnAir’ state after startup.

19


BTS Log: Disable Authorization Click ‘Nodes’ in main window, than ‘R&D Parameters’ Tab and than ‘Get Current’.Double-click on parameter 244 and change the value.Note: The change made via BTSLog will be lost by the next reset. In order to disable authorization permanently, swconfig.txt with appropriate settings need to be copied to FCMD in /rom directory (username:password for OSE are NokiaWCDMA:NETOulu)

20


Pinger

Pinger is a batch file used to ping all modules in eNB: FCMD, FSPs, Faradays on FSPs, FTM and FRGH. Once started ping to the modules is sent periodically.

In order to get Pinger working following steps need to be performed:

• unzip PING_Fararays_all_FSPs1.zip to for example C:\Pinger (this will unpack PING_Fararays_all_FSPs1.BAT to this directory)

• Create shortcut to PING_Fararays_all_FSPs1.BAT

IP Addresses pinged by Pinger Batch File:IP_FCM=192.168.255.1IP_FSP1=192.168.255.33IP_FSP2=192.168.255.34IP_FSP3=192.168.255.35IP_RF1=192.168.255.69IP_RF2=192.168.255.73IP_RF3=192.168.255.77IP_FILTER1=192.168.255.70IP_FILTER2=192.168.255.71IP_FTLA=192.168.255.129

IP_FSP1_F1=192.168.255.151IP_FSP1_F2=192.168.255.152IP_FSP1_F3=192.168.255.153IP_FSP1_F4=192.168.255.154IP_FSP1_F5=192.168.255.155IP_FSP1_F6=192.168.255.156IP_FSP1_F7=192.168.255.157

Python

Python is an application which is delivered as Windows Installer Packet with the name like python-2.5.2.msi, as well as an extension wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe. Sharenet link: https://sharenet-ims.inside.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=415158651&objAction=Browse&viewType=1

Python scripts are used for eNB setup for following tasks:• Setting of HWAPI BIOS version on FCMD : HWABIOS_Version.py• Modification of product code on the System Module: Pn.py• Browse CPUs on FSPs (SW version running on the FSP is also

displayed): browsercpus_<..>.py• Formating the new file system for puttibatti software package:

FilesystemFormat.py• Show RT OS startup location and active file system for puttibatti package:

SDSF_Operations_v2.py

22


browsercpu

browsercpu is Python script (e.g. browsercpus_inc16.py which sends a ping to FSP, Faradays and CPUs on the considered FSP. Furthermore, it displays the active SW on FSP (LN1.0_LTE_18_22_15). Number of FSPs which are pinged by the script can easily be changed by editing the python script (search for loop “for fsp in range(x,y):” If x=2 and y=3 only FSP3 is considered; if x=0 and y=3 than all FSPs are pinged.

23


BswAct

BswAct is delivered as BswAct.exe and is started from DOS-shell.

It is used to flash Linux OS to FCMD and FSPs.
