Context

The external physical IP address described here refers to the physical IP address of the externalEthernet adapter team. This IP address is planned and set before the delivery of the OMU. Itmay be different from the IP address plan in the existing network. In this case, the externalphysical IP address needs to be changed according to the actual networking. Generally, thegateway IP address should be changed with the external physical IP address.

The OMU application is installed in the active workspace of the OMU. If the BSC6900 worksin active/standby OMU mode, then the OMU application must be installed in the activeworkspaces of both the active and standby OMUs. This part takes the condition that only oneOMU is configured on the BSC6900 as an example.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the PC to the ETH2 debugging port on the OMUa by using an Ethernet cable.

Step 2 Set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment with the ETH2 port. The IPaddress of the ETH2 port before changing is 192.168.6.50, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Step 3 Remotely log in to the Linux operating system by referring to Logging In to the OMU.

Step 4 Check the OMU software environment by referring to Checking the OMU SoftwareEnvironment.

Step 5 Check that the OMU application is normally installed.

Step 6 Install the OMU application in the active workspace by referring to Installing the OMUApplications in the Active Workspace.

Step 7 Run the /etc/rc.d/omud start command to start the OMU application.

Step 8 Run the ps -afx command to check the operating status of the OMU.You can infer that the OMU is in normal state if the following OMU service processes exist inthe OMU active workspace directory\bin\bam\monitor: host_gate, ems_gate, authority,configure, maintain, stat, alarm, software, ftp_server, sntp, btsom, ems_agent,omu_manager, cfa and weblmt.

NOTEYou can infer that the standby OMU is in normal state if the following processes exist: software, ftp_server,sntp, and omu_manager.

Step 9 Run the ifconfig command to check whether the external physical IP address of the OMU issame as that planed in the existing network.

If... Then...

The external physical IP address is same as that planed in the existingnetwork,

End this task.

The external physical IP address is different from that planed in theexisting network,

Go to Step 10.

Step 10 Run the /etc/rc.d/omud stop command to stop the omud.

Step 11 Switch to the directory where the omutool program locates.You can run the ./omutool -h command to view the help information of the omutool.

Step 12 Run the ./omutool extercard The external physical IP address The mask The gateway IPaddress command to change the external physical IP address and the gateway IP address.

For example, you can run the following command and then press Enter.

./omutool extercard 10.161.10.100 255.255.255.0 10.161.10.1

NOTEAfter the external physical IP address is changed, the BSC6900 can be connected to the OM network of thecustomer through the ETH0 or ETH1 port. In this case, the commissioning can be performed in a centralizedmanner.

If... Then...

If the loopback test result is Notsucceeded,

l Use a multimeter to measure the connectivity betweenthe connector pin of the E1/T1 cable and the innerconductor of the coaxial cable and that between the outershell of the connector and the shielding layer of thecoaxial cable. If a connectivity failure occurs, make anew connector and assemble the cable again.

l Use a multimeter to check whether the internal andexternal conductors of the E1/T1 cable are short-circuited. If so, make a new connector and assemble thecable again.

If the fault persists, replace the E1/T1 cable with a new one.

Step 3 Perform the loopback test on the peer E1/T1 port.

Table 13-5 Procedure for checking the peer equipment or the transport network

Step Action

3-1 Run the MML command SET E1T1LOP. Set Loop type to REMOTE_LOOP(Remote loop).

3-2 Run the MML command LOP E1T1 at the peer end to start the loopback test on theE1/T1 port.

3-3 Run the MML command DSP E1T1LOP at the peer end to query the result of theloopback test.

3-4 Run the MML command SET E1T1LOP at the peer end, and then set Loop typeto NO_LOOP(No loop) to stop the loopback test on the E1/T1 port.

If... Then...

If the loopback test result isSucceeded,

Go to Step 4.

If the loopback test result is Notsucceeded,

Contact the maintenance personnel for the peer equipmentto rectify faults in the peer equipment or the transportnetwork.
