    8 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

  • Chapter 1 Configuration Overview

    If TC is internal and A-interface transmission uses E1 forboth user plane and control plane, then E1 A-interface con-figuration is adopted.

    If TC is internal and A-interface transmission uses IP forboth user plane and control plane, then IP A-interface con-figuration is adopted.

    If TC is external and Ater interface transmission uses E1 forboth user plane and control plane, then E1 Ater interfaceconfiguration is adopted.

    ii. User can also combine different transmission modes foruser plane and control plane according to actual require-ment. For example, adopt E1 for user plane and IP forcontrol plane, or adopt IP for user plane and E1 for controlplane.

    4. GB interface configuration

    If GPRS/EDGE service is to be commissioned, user must per-form Gb interface configuration according to actual condition.

    If Gb interface transmission uses E1, then E1 Gb interface con-figuration is adopted.

    If Gb interface transmission uses IP, then IP Gb interface con-figuration is adopted.

    5. External cell configuration

    External cell configuration includes configuring GERAN externalcell and UTRAN external cell.

    6. Site and radio configuration

    Site and radio configuration includes configuring site, cascadedsite, cell, frequency hopping, transceiver, adjacent cell interfer-ence/handover/reselection/handover&reselection, and UTRANadjacent cell handover/reselection/handover&reselection.

    7. Other configurations

    Other configurations are optional according to actual require-ment. It includes alarm parameter configuration and systemcontrol parameter configuration.

    8. Software loading

    Software loading includes loading BSC board software and BTSboard software. It guarantees the board's normal running.

    After the configuration is completed, user can perform dynamicdata configuration according to actual requirement.

    Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 9

  • ZXG10 iBSC Configuration

    Caution:

    For each type of configuration mentioned above, it is recom-mended to perform data synchronization after the configurationis completed. In other words, perform all data synchronization ormodified data synchronization to synchronize the configured datawith that at BSC to make it validate; otherwise, the configureddata is only virtual data in the network management system.

    1.5 Data Configuration Precautions

    Data configuration is very important for the entire system. Anymistake in data configuration will seriously influence the systemrunning. The following items should be noticed in data configura-tion and modification.

    1. Before performing data configuration, prepare the data relatedto system running, such as interconnection data for A-interfaceand Gb interface. The data should be accurate and reliable,and a complete data configuration solution is required. A gooddata configuration solution not only makes the data clear tousers but also increases the system reliability.

    2. Before modifying any data, perform backup for the currentdata. After modifying the data, synchronize it with that at BSCand BTS. Make sure that the data is correct and perform databackup in time.

    3. The configured data in the network management system clienttakes effect only after being synchronized with that at BSC andBTS. For configuration data applied in a running system, thedata must be checked before being transferred to avoid theinfluence of incorrect data on the system running.

    Caution:

    Because a large amount of parameters are involved in data config-uration, this manual only introduces some important parametersand parameters that must be modified. Such parameters shouldbe configured according to the configuration specification. For pa-rameters not introduced, the default setting is adopted.

    >> IP A-interface Configuration

    4.1 Overview

    A-interface data configuration includes configuring signaling andservice channels between iBSC and MSC, and configuring inter-connection between iBSC and MSC.

    iBSC supports two interface types: E1 A-interface and IP A-inter-face. Different transmission modes have different bottom-layerbearer protocols, including signaling and service protocols. Suchdifference also causes different configurations.

    For signaling, if IP A-interface configuration is used, then theM3UA protocol is adopted. This protocol bears the originalSCCP protocol, thus it is necessary to configure signaling pointand sub-system number. If E1 A-interface configuration isused, signaling link and route are replaced by SCTP and ASlocation.

    For services, if E1 A-interface configuration is used, then thePCM service channel (the rate is 64 kbps) is configured. If IPA-interface configuration is used, only the local IP address andport should be configured, and the IP-UDP-RTP layer bears theservice data.
