the ATM User Network Interface (UNI) protocol. Namely, it maps ATM cells to the T1/E1 frame to implement transmission.
III. Data link layer
System Description
Chapter 1 System Overview
ATM is used on the data link layer of Abis interface. Adaptation of Abis signaling is performed based on AAL5, and is borne in IP Over
ATM (IPoA) mode. At Abis interface, Abis signaling path connects the Main Control (MC) software and Signaling Processing Unit (SPU) of BSC via Permanent Virtual Connection (PVC) to transmit Abis signaling. The signaling transmission path for implementing related O&M operations is also borne by a PVC connecting the Operation and Maintenance Unit (OMU) of BTS and BSC. The BSC forwards the signaling to OMC transparently, and does not process any O&M signaling.
Adaptation of Abis traffic is performed based on AAL2. At Abis interface, several PVCs are used to connect the channel processing unit of BTS and SDU of BSC, for BTS to transmit the uplink data received from the air interface to BSC, and for BSC to transmit the downlink data to be transmitted via the air interface to BTS.
IV. Layer 3 - traffic management
At Abis interface, Abis signaling, OML signaling and Abis traffic are in the domain of traffic management. Specifically, Abis traffic management includes the following functions:
1) BTS logic O&M function
l Resource status indication: With this function, BTS requests logic configuration
from BSC, reports logic status to BSC and checks logic resource regularly.
l Cell configuration: With this function, BSC configures logic parameters of cells
for BTS, including cell pilot Pseudo Noise (PN) offset, sector gain, common channel number and parameter.
1-13
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
l Overhead message updating: With this function, BSC configures or update

2) Common channel management function Paging channel management procedure: It is used to transmit paging channel
messages from BSC to MSs through Abis interface. Access channel management procedure: It is used to transmit access channel
messages received on the access channel of BTS to BSC through Abis interface.
3) Dedicated channel setup and release function This procedure is used to control the setup and release of dedicated radio channel
and Abis interface terrestrial channel. Abis interface supports the setup and release of various dedicated channels specified
in IS95A/B and cdma2000 1X, including IS95-FCH, IS95-SCCH, IS2000-FCH, IS2000-DCCH and IS2000-SCH.
System Description
Chapter 1 System Overview
Each radio channel is allocated with one AAL2 link on Abis interface to bear user traffic data.
Caution:
For softer handoff, only one AAL2 link is allocated on Abis interface.
4) Traffic channel bearing function BTS needs to process Abis interface frame protocol. It transmits the data received
from the reverse traffic channel on the air interface to BSC, and transmits the data from BSC through the forward traffic channel on the air interface.
Traffic channel bearing procedure also performs the functions such as AAL2 traffic matching, time adjustment of traffic data frame, reverse outer loop power control adjustment and forward power control adjustment.
5) Power control function Abis interface suppor ts various power controls. Power control is performed through
parameter configuration. Power control falls into four types: quick forward closed-loop power control, slow forward closed-loop power control, quick reverse closed-loop power control and reverse open-loop power control.

I. De-rating design
To improve system reliability and prolong the service life of components, components are carefully selected and strictly tested, and less stress (electrical stress and temperature stress) is to be borne in actual operation than its designed rating.
II. Selection and control of component
The category, specifications and manufacturers of the components are carefully selected and reviewed according to the requirements of the product reliability and maintainability. The replaceability and normalization of components is one of the main factors for the decision, which help to reduce the types of components used and hence improve the availability of the system.

III. Board level reliability design
Many measures have been taken in board design to improve its reliability. Redundancy configuration is applied for key components to improve system reliability.
l Key circuits are designed by Huawei, which lays the foundation of high reliability.   l The hardware WATCHDOG is equipped for the board, and the board can
automatically reset in case of fault.  
l The board is provided with the functions of over-current and over-voltage
protection and the function of temperature detection.  
l Strict thermal analysis and simulation tests are conducted during the design of
boards for the purpose of ensuring longtime operation.  
l The board software and important data is stored in the non-volatile memory, so
that the board can be restarted when software upgrading fails.  
IV. Fault detection, location and recovery
The BTS system is equipped with the functions of self-detection and fault diagnosis that can record and output various fault information. Common software and hardware faults can be corrected automatically.  
System Description
Chapter 1 System Overview
The hardware fault detection functions include fault locating, isolating and automatic switchover. The maintenance engineers can identify the faulty boards easily with the help of the maintenance console.  
The BTS3601C system also supports the reloading of configuration data files and board execution programs.
V. Fault tolerance and exceptional protection
When faults occur, the system usually will not be blocked. The system will make a final confirmation on a hardware fault through repeated
detection, thus avoiding system reconfiguration or QoS deterioration due to contingent faults.
VI. Thermal design
The influence of temperature on the BTS3601C has been considered in the design. Thermal design primarily concerns the selection of components, circuit design
(including error tolerance, drift design and derating design), structure design and heat dissipation, so that the BTS3601C can work reliably in a wide range of temperatures.
The first consideration in thermal design is to balance the heat distribution of the system. Corresponding measures are taken in the place where heat is more likely to be accumulated.
1-17
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
VII. Maintainability
The purpose of maintainability design is to define the workload and nature of the maintenance, so as to cut the maintenance time. The main approaches adopted include standardization, modularization, error prevention, and testability improvement, which can simplify the maintenance work.
VIII. EMC design
The design ensures that BTS3601C will not degrade to an unacceptable level due to the electromagnetic interference from other equipment in the same electromagnetic environment. Neither the BTS3601C will cause other equipment in the same electromagnetic environment to degrade to an unacceptable level.
IX. Lightning protection
To eliminate the probability of lightning damage on the BTS3601C system, proper measures are taken with respect to the lightning protection for DC power supply, BTS trunk lines and antenna & feeder system. For details, please refer to "3.6 Lightning Protection".
System Description
Chapter 1 System Overview
1.5.2 Software Reliability Design
Software reliability mainly includes protection performance and fault tolerance capability.
I. Protection performance
The key to improve software reliability is to reduce software defects. Software reliability of BTS3601C is ensured through the quality control in the whole process from system requirement analysis, system design to system test.
Starting from the requirement analysis, software development process follows the regulations such as Capability Mature Mode (CMM), which aim to control faults in the initial stage.
In software design, much attention is devoted to the designing method and implementation: the software is designed in a modular structure, and in a loose coupling mechanism. When a fault occurs to one module, other modules will not be affected. In addition, preventive measures such as fault detection, isolating and clearing are also applied to improve the system reliability. Other effective methods include code read-through, inspection, and unit test.
Various software tests are conducted to improve the software reliability. Test engineers participate the whole software development process, from unit test to
1-18
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
system test. They make plans strictly following the demand of the upper -level flow, which ensure the improvement of software reliability. Additionally, test plans are modified and improved with the tests.
II. Fault tolerance capability
Fault tolerance capability of the software system means that the whole system would not collapse when a minor software fault occurs. That is, the system has the self-healing capability. The fault tolerance of BTS3601 software is represented in the following aspects:
l All boards work on a real-time operating system of high reliability. l If software loading fails, the system can return to the version that was
successfully loaded last time.
l Important operations are recorded in log files. l Different authority levels are provided for operations, so as to prevent users from
performing unauthorized operations.
l Warnings are given for the operations that will cause system reboot (such as
reset operation). The operator is required to confirm such operations.

User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
VIII. Power control
Coordinating with the MS and BSC, BTS provides various power control mechanisms (as detailed in Section 3.4.1 Power Control).
3.3 Baseband Processing
Baseband processing performs physical layer functions on Um interface, and processes baseband data of all full-duplex channels in CDMA system.
In the forward direction (transmitting direction), baseband processing fulfills channel coding, rate adaptation, interleaving, spreading spectrum and modulation. In the reverse direction (receiving direction), it fulfills multi-path signaling demodulation, de-interleaving, channel decoding and information bit extraction.
For different Radio Configuration (RC), baseband processing is different. But basically it can be summarized into the following procedures:
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
I. Forward channel baseband processing
In CDMA forward channel, the baseband processing of one traffic channel includes channel coding, rate adaptation, block interleaving, long code scrambling, power control bit insertion, Walsh code spreading spectrum, signal modulation and baseband filtering, as shown in Figure 3-5.

l Channel coding
CDMA system uses Convolutional code and Turbo code for channel coding. Its function is error correction. Convolutional code is used for ordinary speech service and Turbo code for high-speed data service.
l Rate adaptation
Since the system supports frames of different rates. The frame rates after channel coding are different. Rates should be adapted to ensure that the rate of frames meets the requirement before entering the interleaver. In CDMA system, rate adaptation is realized by symbol repetition and code puncturing.
l Block interleaving
The purpose of interleaving is to resist fast fade in the radio channel environment.
l Long code scrambling
3-9
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
In the forward channel, long code scrambling is used to scramble the user data to provide encryption function.
l Walsh code spreading spectrum
In the forward channel, Walsh code is used to identify each user.
l QPSK modulation
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation is used in the forward channel. PN short code is used in the modulation for scrambling and providing cell ID.
l Baseband filtering
This process implements pulse shaping without inter-code interference and the suppression of out-band signals.
II. Reverse channel baseband processing
Baseband processing in the reverse channel includes multi-path signal demodulation, signal de-interleaveing, channel decoding, and extraction of frame information data, as shown in Figure 3-6.

l Multi-path demodulation
With Rake receiver, BTS can demodulate the radio multi-path signals and effectively combine multi-path energy.
l De-interleaving
Signals received from MS are interleaved signals, so de-interleaving must be performed by BTS to restore the signals.
l Channel decoding
MS uses convolutional code or Turbo code for channel encoding before transmission, while BTS decodes with Viterbi decoder or Turbo decoder at the receiving end based on the channel code type of the MS.
l Extraction of frame information data
When transmitting signals, MS adds Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits and a number of all-zero tail bits at the end of the information bits to compose a transmitting frame. On receiving the frame, BTS performs CRC check and removes the non-information bit (CRC check bit and end bit) to get the information bits, then sends them to the higher layer for processing.

3.4 Radio Resource Management
BTS radio resource management functions meet the requirements of TIA/EIA IS-97-D protocol.
3.4.1 Power Control
CDMA system is a self-interferenc system, in which every subscriber is an interference source to other subscribers. If it is possible to ensure that every MS transmits the minimum power it needs, the whole system capacity can be the largest. Therefore, power control directly affects the system capacity and the service quality.
I. Purpose
Power control is to
l Ensure conversation quality, meanwhile restrict the transmitting power on the
forward and reverse links, thus minimizing the system interference.
l Overcome the far-near effect caused by the freely distributed mobile stations, so
the signals of mobile stations whose distances to the BTS are different can reach the BTS with the same power.
l Realize the system soft capacity control. l Prolong MS battery life. l Minimize MS radiation to the human body.
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
II. Types
Power control can be divided into forward power control and reverse power control. The forward power control is used to control BTS’s transmit power, while the reverse power control aims to control MS’s transmit power.
1) Forward power control
Forward power control can be implemented with various methods, whose applications are subject to the MS protocol version and the system parameters.
l Power control based on Power Measurement Report Message (PMRM)
In PMRM-based power control, the MS determines the method and frequency of reporting PMRM in accordance with the received control message in the system parameter message.
l Power control based on Erasure Indicator Bit (EIB)
In EIB power control, the MS detects the forward frame quality, and feeds back the information to the BTS via EIB. The BTS will adjust the transmit power according to EIB information.
l Quick forward power control
3-11
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
In this mode, the BTS power is adjusted according to power control bit from the MS (the maximum speed can reach 800bit/s). In cdma2000 1X system, large data service is supported. Therefore, the requirement on forward power control is increasingly strict. The forward quick power control method can control forward channel transmit power accurately, so as to reduce the interference and improve the capacity.
2) Reverse power control
Reverse power control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power control. The closed-loop power control can be sub-divided into inner loop power control and outer loop power control.
l Open-loop power control method
The MS determines the transmit power intensity to access the BTS according to the received pilot signal strength.
l Closed-loop power control method
The BTS issues power control command to the MS, and performs the adjustment according to MS feedback. The principle of closed-loop power control is shown in the following figure.

3.4.2 Handoff
I. Types
The handoff can be divided into the following three types according to the handoff procedures.
l Hard handoff
The MS firstly disconnect the connection with the previous BTS, then sets up the connection with the new BTS.
l Soft handoff
When the MS establishes the communication with a new BTS, it will not release the connection with the previous BTS.
l Softer handoff
It is the soft handoff occurred among different sectors in the same BTS.
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
II. Purpose
With respect to the purpose, the handoff can be divided into three types: rescue handoff, better cell handoff and traffic handoff.
l Rescue handoff
When the MS is leaving the cell coverage area and the conversation quality is unacceptable, the handoff occurs in order to avoid the interruption of the call.
l Better cell handoff
If the rescue handoff condition is not triggered, this handoff may occur if conversation quality or network performance can be improved. The handoff is called better cell handoff because there is better cell for the call.
l Traffic handoff
This kind of handoff occurs when one cell is congested due to its heavy load and the adjacent cell is relatively idle. This mainly results from traffic peak within short time in a limited area due to some special events (such as sports game, exhibition, etc).

l Forward Common Assignment Channel (F-CACH)
F-CACH is used for transmitting the assignment information in quick response to the reversed channel, and provides the support for random access packet transmission in the reversed link. F-CACH controls Reverse Common Control Channel (R-CCCH) and Forward Common Power Control Channel (F-CPCCH) in Reservation Access Mode, and provides the quick acknowledgement in power-controlled access mode. In addition, it also provides congestion control function.
l Forward Common Power Control Channel (F-CPCCH)
F-CPCCH is used in the system to support multiple R-CCCHs and Reverse Enhanced Access Channels (R-EACHs) to perform power control.
l Forward Pilot Channel (F-PICH)
Signals are transmitted on F-PICH all the time. The BTS transmits a fixed signal in the pilot channel. This signal serves to provide phase reference for the coherent demodulation of MS receiver to ensure coherent detection, and facilities MS to acquire synchronization signals from the synchronization channel and sector identification information.
If the sector supports transmit diversity, it is necessary to configure Forward Transmit Diversity Pilot Channel (F-TDPICH).
3-15
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
If smart antenna or beam shaping formation technology is adopted, the BTS will provide one or more Forward Auxiliary Pilot Channels (F-APICHs) on the forward channel to improve the system capacity and coverage.
When diversity transmit method is used in CDMA channel with F-APICH, BTS will provide corresponding Forward Transmit Diversity Auxiliary Pilot Channel (F-ATDPICH).
l Forward Common Control Channel (F-CCCH)
F-CCCH are a series of coding & interleaving spreading and modulation spread spectrum signals, used by the MSs in the BTS coverage area. BTS transmits the system information and the designated MS information on this channel.
l Forward Sync. Channel (F-SYNCH)
The MSs in the coverage of BTS get initial synchronization information from F-SYNCH. The rate of synchronization channel is 1,200bit/s and the frame length is
26.667ms. The PN of pilot signal in I channel and Q channel of synchronization
channel is the same as the PN in the pilot channel of the same BTS.
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
l Forward Traffic Channel (F-TCH)
F-TCH is used to send the user information and signaling information to an MS during the call. F-TCH can be sub-divided into:
Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH), which bears traffic information and signaling information,
Forward Fundamental Channel (F-FCH), which bears traffic information, Forward Power Control sub-channel (F-PC sub-channel): which are the signals sent
only in forward fundamental channel or forward dedicated control channel, Forward Supplemental Code Channel (F-SCCH): which bears traffic information, and
is applicable to RC1 and RC2, and Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH), which bears traffic information and is
applicable to RC3, RC4 and RC5.
l Forward Broadcast Channel (F-BCH)
F-BCH is used by BTS to send the system information and broadcast messages (such as short messages). F-BCH operates in discontinuous mode.
l Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH)
F-PCH is used by BTS to send the system information and MS-specific information to MS.
Paging channel can be used to send the information with the fixed data rate of 9,600bit/s or 4,800bit/s. In a certain system (with the same system identification number), all paging channels send the information with the same data rate.
3-16
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
The frame length of paging channel is 20ms. Each frequency of the sector can support seven paging channels at most.
l Forward Quick Paging Channel (F-QPCH)
This is used to send paging indicator and the system configuration change indicator to MSs operating in slotted mode, instructing them to receive the paging messages. Thus the MS battery energy can be saved.
Quick paging channel can be divided into some 80ms timeslots. Each timeslot can be divided into paging indicator and configuration change indicator. The data rate that can be supported is 2,400bit/s or 4,800bit/s.

and I0 (power spectrum density) value. The management of MTRB CPU occupancy, board temperature, optical fiber delay
and transmit power.
3.5.6 Test Management
Test management is an important function of BTS maintenance. When a BTS fault occurs, test is often needed to locate the problem. In the process of BTS operation, it is also necessary to make regular tests to some items so as to monitor the performance change of BTS.
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
BTS3601C provides powerful test functions, including:
I. Board loopback test
This test refers to the loopback test on MBPB-BTRB link, including the O&M link and signaling link.
The control console determines the data and length of loopback. Loopback data are sent from the control console, forwarded by OMU to the high layer of board software, and looped back. Then OMU will make judgment whether the data are correct and return the information to the control console.
II. E1/T1 loopback test
This function is used for the loopback test of E1/T1 link on Abis interface, including three types: FARLP, RMT and PLD.
For FARLP test, the E1/T1 receiving end should be connected with the E1/T1 transmitting end manually at the remote side (BSC side). BTS3601C will send and receive the test data.
When RMT and PLD are selected, the BTS will automatically loopback the E1/T1 cable at BTS side to facilitate the E1/T1 test on BSC. But, in RMT test, BTS will return the data received from E1/T1 cable without processing it; While in PLD test, BTS will process the data received from E1/T1 cable, discard the er ror data, and return only the correct data.

3.6 Lightning Protection
3.6.1 Lightning Protection for Power Supply
As an all-whether outdoor BTS, BTS3601C features strong protection capability against extreme temperature, rain, dust and lightning, and is adaptive to the power supply of unstable voltage.
BTS3601C MAPM is designed to be lightning proof. However, when operating together with the lightning protection box for power supply, the lightning proof effect will be even more satisfactory.
System Description
Chapter 3 System Function
BTS3601C must be installed together with the lightning protection box for power supply to protect it from lightning strike when: (1) There are only AC interfaces (outdoor environment); or (2) The power distribution system does not have all-round protection mechanism (indoor environment).
BTS3601C uses the single phase lightning protection box SPD211SZ of AC power supply. It is connected between the mains cable and the BTS input cable, and can resist the surge current over 40kA. The phase voltage of local mains shall be 220VAC, and working frequency 50Hz. The connection is shown in Figure 3-10.
The AC lightning protection box should be selected according to the actual situation from the three types: 20kA, 40kA and 100kA.

3.6.2 Lightning Protection for Trunk Line
Chapter 3 System Function
Three kinds of trunk lines are supported in BTS3601C: 75Ù coaxial cable (E1/T1), 120Ù twisted pair (E1/T1) and optical fiber. Lightning protection is out of question if optical fiber is used as the BTS is connected with fiber tail. For E1/T1 trunk line, the lightning protection unit attached to MBPB provides the lightning protection.
Besides, this lightning protection unit provides the lightning protection for external synchronization communication serial ports, external synchronization 1PPS port and satellite receiving unit. For details, please refer to the introduction to MBPB structure and principles in Section 2.2 of this module.
3.6.3 Lightning Protection for Antenna and Feeder System
The RF equipment of the BTS shall be placed within the protection range of the lightning rod, which is the precondition to ensure the normal performance of BTS lightning protection system.
System Description
I. Lightning protection for RF antenna and feeder
Antenna & feeder lightning protection is to protect against secondary lightning attack, i.e. the inductive lightning. Inductive lightning means that the feeder receives inductive current at the moment of lightning attack, which may cause damage to the equipment.
Inductive lightning can be prevented effectively in three ways:
l The feeder is grounded at least at three points. In actual implementation, the
number of grounding points depends on the length of the feeder.
l The RF antenna & feeder part and MFEM are grounded through an internal path.
The lightning current induced by the antenna and feeder can be directly discharged to the ground through the grounded point. Besides, the MFEM itself features strong protection capability against lightning current, and can satisfy the normal protection requirements without adding lightning protector.
l Lightning rod protection. The lightning rod must be installed within the effective
range for the BTS when BTS is installed on the tower, in the open, or at a high place. The protective range of the lightning arrester is shown in Figure 3-11.

II. Lighting protection for dual-satellite synchronization antenna & feeder
GPS/GLONASS dual-satellite synchronization antenna & feeder should be under the protection of the lightning arrester as shown in Figure 3-11.
Other lightning protection measures include:
l Grounding of feeder at three points: In actual implementation, the number of
grounding points depends on the length of the feeder.
l External lightning protector: In normal condition, a lightning arrester is connected
at antenna side and BTS equipment side respectively, so as to avoid the possible damage to the BTS equipment and antenna caused by the lightning current induced by feeder core.
l Build-in lightning protection unit. The lightning protection unit on MBPB can
restrict the residual voltage from the lightning protector, so as to protect the satellite receiver card.

Performance class A: it means that BTS can withstand the test without any damage and it can run normally in the specified range. There is not any change in the software or data (all data in the storage or the data being processed) related to the tested switching equipment. Equipment performance is not lowered. Performance class B: it means that BTS can withstand the test without any damage. There is no change in the software or the data in storage. Communication performance is lowered a little, but in the tolerance (as defined for different products). The existing communication link is not interrupted. After the test, the equipment can recover to the normal status before the test automatically without any interference of the operator. Performance class C: some functions of BTS are lost temporarily during the test, but they will recover to normal performance in a specific period after the test (normally the shortest time needed for system reboot). There is no physical damage or system software deterioration. Performance class R: after the test, there is no physical damage or fault (including software corruption) with BTS. Protection equipment damage caused by external interference signal is acceptable. When the protection equipment is replaced and the running parameters are re-configured, the equipment can
operate normally.

BTS Maintenance
Chapter 1 O&M System Overview
1.1 Architecture
The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) system comprises the local O&M system and mobile integrated Network Management System (NMS). The former one performs at the local Base Station Subsystem (BSS) the O&M over the Base Transcei ver Station (BTS) and Base Station Controller (BSC). The later one is the integrated NMS based on network elements such as BSC, Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and Home Location Register (HLR).
1.1.1 Local O&M System
BSS local O&M system structure is shown in Figure 1-1. In terms of the distance to the BTS, it is classified into two kinds: the near O&M part and remote O&M part.

I. Near O&M Part
The near O&M is realized through the near maintenance console, which is connected through 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface to the BTS3601C. The console performs O&M in the Telnet mode.
Telnet is an application of TCP/IP. Its communication is realized in the Client/Server mode. BTS3601C provides the Telnet server function. It receives the Man-Machine Language (MML) commands from Telnet Client (running on the local maintenance console). After executing the command, the BTS sends the execution result to the Telnet Client.
1-1
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
The user can perform data configuration and O&M over the BTS with the near MML commands.
BTS Maintenance
Chapter 1 O&M System Overview
II. Remote O&M Part
The remote O&M is realized through the remote maintenance console at BSC side, the remote O&M part is designed in Client/Server (C/S) structure. The user inputs operation commands via Clients (namely console), As the server, BAM will process commands from the Clients. After processing, BAM will send these commands to the foreground (including BSC and BTS) and wait for the response. Then BAM will record the corresponding operation result (such as success, failure, timeout, or abnormality) and send the result to the Client in a specified format. Through the maintenance console, a user can perform remote maintenance and monitoring over all the BTSs. Meanwhile, information from these BTSs can be collected for network planning and optimization.
BSS remote O&M functions comprises three parts according to its MML commands: Common Management, BSC Management and BTS management, as shown in Figure 1-2. Except that the BTS alarm management is classified into the common management, other O&M operations over the BTS are realized through the BTS management part.
Figure 1-2 Remote maintenance Client command tree 
1-2
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Currently the remote O&M over both the cBTS3612 and BTS3601C can be performed at the same Client, with the BTS networking management as the common part of the cBTS3612 and BTS3601C management.
This chapter describes the use of the maintenance console for BTS3601C.

Chapter 1 O&M System Overview
1.1.2 Mobile Integrated Network Management System
The mobile integrated NMS realizes the centralized maintenance function. It accesses the system via Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN), with the M2000 server as the core and multiple mobile equipments (such as BSC, MSC and HLR) as the network element.
BSC accesses the M2000 mobile integrated NMS via BAM. The O&M over the BTS is realized through BSC.
The typical networking of M2000 mobile integrated NMS is shown in Figure 1-3

User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
1.2.2 Remote Maintenance Functions
With regard to the BTS management, the remote maintenance console provides not only the functions that the near console provides, but also the alarm management and BTS networking function.
This section describes the functions of the remote maintenance console. For detailed command information, please refer to the corresponding online help.
I. Alarm management:
Figure 1-4 shows the alarm management functions. The alarm management function is used to manage the alarm information. Being the
indication of the current and historical equipment operation statuses, the alarm information is the major basis on which the equipment maintenance is performed. The maintenance personnel can maintain the equipment according to the alarm information.
BTS Maintenance
Chapter 1 O&M System Overview
BSS (including BTS and BSC) alarm information can be managed in a centralized way through the interface as shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4 Alarm management 
II. BTS networking
The BTS networking function is shown in Figure 1-5. This function is provided by only the remote maintenance console, not by the near maintenance console.
The BTS networking management provides for cBTS3612s and BTS3601Cs the management of BTS object, start information and data backup.
1-5
User Manual iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
l The management of BTS object includes the creation, deletion, query and
modification of BTS information. To create a BTS is to register a BTS and configure for it the basic maintenance information, including BTS name and maintenance IP address.
l The start information management aims at BTS BOOTP (member of TCP/IP
family) information. For BAM to manage BTSs, it is necessary to establish the BAM-BTS O&M links. As the result, it is necessary to configure the information including the No. of the optical interface for the O&M links, the Virtual Path (VP)/Virtual Circuit (VC) Nos. of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) links, etc.
l The data backup management is the operations related to the backup of BTS
configuration data. To send the BTS configuration data for backup, the storage path and file name should be set with this function, with the suffix of the file name as "bin". The BTS just reset will request BAM for configuration data. If the data have been backed up, BAM will retrieve them and send them directly to the BTS rather than configure them again.
