2 Nokia BTS Manager
This chapter gives instructions on how to get started with Nokia BTS Manager. It
is assumed here that the user knows how to use Windows 95 or NT4.0 software.
2.1 Starting and exiting the BTS Manager
The installation program of the manager SW creates a Nokia BTS Manager icon
on the desktop and defines its parameters. For more information on the
installation, refer to the Nokia BTS Manager online Help or the instructions on
the Nokia BTS Manager CD-ROM case.
Nokia BTS Manager
Start the BTS Manager as follows:
1. Double-click the BTS Manager icon on the desktop. The Nokia BTS
Manager starts with the Supervise and Alarms windows opened. Also, the
software checks the BTS configuration and displays it in the Supervision
window.
2. Enter the MMI password if MMI password checking is on (this is the case
when you work in Windows 95 environment).
3. Enter the BTS password if BTS password checking is on. The software
continues execution only if the BTS accepts the entered password. You
may enter an invalid password three times before the BTS Manager exits.
You can define different Manager options and communications parameters when
starting to work with the BTS Manager.
Note
The BTS Manager PC must be connected to the BTS in order to make the BTS
password checking possible. If no connection exists, password checking is not
applicable.
