5.5Assigning OML Link IP Address and a Static IP Address to the microBTS
Depending upon your networks requirements, a network IP address will need to be assigned to
the microBTS and each TRX. IP addresses should be obtained from your network administrator. Use the following step-by-step procedure to assign a new IP address to the microBTS.
1Find the IP address of the microBTS corresponding to the micro controller.
The last MAC address listed on the exterior label will be the micro controller as shown in
Figure 5-7.
Match this MAC address with the DHCP assigned IP address as shown in Figure 5-12. Open a
Web browser such as Explorer, Mozilla, etc. and using the familiar browser command:
http:// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned to the micro
controller.
The following screen will appear. Refer to Figure 5-15.
5.6Configuring a New Site Using the BSC Configuration Manager Utility
Once the microBTS is configured with IP addresses, use the following procedure to launch,
configure and verify that the microBTS is connected and functioning.
1Launch the BSC Configuration Manager from the PC’s desktop or file folder as shown in
Figure 5-16.
Figure 5-16: Launching the BSC Configuration Manager from a PC Desktop
FlexWave microBTS Installation and Commissioning Guide Page 57
4A new site must be created for the microBTS configured in the previous sections. Right
click on Sites and select
Create. A Create SITE dialog box will appear as shown in
Figure 5-19.

From this pull-down menu, select the type of TRX(s)
installed in the microBTS
Select a site name according to the needs of your
network
This number is normally assigned by a network administrator depending upon the needs of the network. The
number must be unique to each site and can not be
duplicated within a network.
1Right click on the FlexWave Manager object on the “tree” screen as shown in Figure 5-22.
Select Create from the pull-down menu.

2A Create microBTS screen will appear.
3Enter the name (the name will be choosen according to the needs of your network)and site
identifier (the serial number located on the exterior label of the microBTS) in the dialog
boxes indicated. Click Edit once the information is input. Refer to Figure 5-23.

5.8Verifying BTS Functionality Using the BSC Configuration Manager
To verify the installed BTS is functioning, use the following procedure:
1Right click on the new site shown on the BSC Configuration Manager “tree” and a dialog
box will appear. Select Unlock.
The BTS will now begin transmitting on the AFRCN number selected in the previous
steps. This can be verified at the site by means of an external power meter and frequency
counter or a spectrum analyzer if available.
Make a phone call by working in conjunction with the system administrator.
Note: Further information regarding the configuration of the microBTS TRX units can be
found in the instructions set forth in ADC publication ADCP-75-310

From time-to-time ADC may issue software upgrades in the interest of product improvement.
The following upgrade procedure should be performed by an experienced field service technician who is familiar with linux operating systems.
Caution: Failure to execute the procedure(s) exactly as given may render the microBTS
inoperative.

A.2Upgrading Micro Controller Software from 4.0.x.x
The micro controller unit within the microBTS contains upgradable software, which from
time-to-time may be upgraded.
Note: The following procedure will require that the microBTS being upgraded be taken out
of service for the duration of the upgrade process
This procedure provides two methods for upgrading the micro controller software. An “automatic” upgrade (preferred method) is accomplished through the use of a GUI type interface.
The “manual” procedure relies on linux commands to accomplish the upgrade task. The
“manual” upgrade method should only be used when circumstances preclude the use of the
“automatic” upgrade and should be performed by an experienced linux operator.
A.2.1Automatic Upgrading of the microBTS Controller
.
1Launch a WinSCP session from the PC desktop and the WinSCP Login screen will
appear. Refer to Figure A-1.
2Enter the Host name which is the IP address assigned to the micro controller unit of the
microBTS being upgraded.
3Enter root in the User name dialog box, and your password in the Password dialog box.
4Click on Login when complete.
Figure A-1: WinSCP Login Screen
FlexWave microBTS Installation and Commissioning Guide Page 71
7The main WinSCP will appear showing the contents of the drive on which the compressed
.gz upgrade file is located and the root directory showing the files currently contained in
the microBTS controller. Copy the upgrade files similar to FWBSSCtrl_4.0.x.x.gz
to the
root directory. Refer to Figure A-4.
Figure A-4: Main WinSCP Screen
8Close the WinSCP window and open a PuTTY session with the BSC by entering the BSC
IP address. Login as root. Enter your password. Refer to Figure A-5.

21 The microBTS is now upgraded with the new software load. The site can now be returned
to normal operation.
A.2.2Manual Upgrade Procedure
Upgrading of the micro controller software can be done using a procedure using linux
commands to accomplish the upgrade task. The manual upgrade method should only be used
when circumstances preclude the use of the “automatic” upgrade and should be performed by
an experienced linux operator. Use the following step-by-step procedures:
1Launch a WinSCP session from the PC desktop and the WinSCP Login screen will
appear. Refer to Figure A-12.
2Enter the Host name which is the IP address assigned to the micro controller unit of the
microBTS being upgraded.
3Enter
root in the User name dialog box, and your password in the Password dialog box.
Click on Login when complete.

6The main WinSCP will appear showing the contents of the drive on which the compressed
.gz upgrade file is located and the root directory showing the files currently contained in
the microBTS controller. Copy the upgrade files which will appear similar to
FWBSSCtrl_4.0.x.x.gz
to the root directory. Refer to Figure A-15.

4Confirm that the MAC addresses shown match those shown on the exterior label of the
microBTS. The IP address for the micro controller is normally one digit higher than the
highest IP address of the nano TRX’s. In the sample shown, the highest nano TRX is
172.16.79.15. It is likely that the micro controller address will be 172.16.79.16. Record
this number for use in the next step.
Figure A-20: Select nanoBTS Screen Showing the MAC and IP Addresses for the nano TRX’s
5Use the IP address from the previous step to launch the WinSCP session in the next step. If
the IP address does not work, use Wireshark, Angry IP or similar IP discovery tool to
obtain the micro controller IP address.
6Launch a WinSCP session from the PC desktop and the WinSCP Login screen will
appear. Refer to Figure A-21.
7Enter the Host name which is the IP address assigned to the micro controller unit of the
microBTS being upgraded.
