1 Install and Start the Terminal

This chapter tells you how to install the terminal hardware and software and then start it. It describes the terminal and its requirements.
13 / 168
1.1 Terminal Description

The BTS terminal is a PC connected to a BTS and running terminal software for accessing BTS O&M functions. For more information about the BTS, refer to the BTS Functional Description and the Evolium BTS A9100/A9110/A9110-E Functional Description. You can use the BTS terminal to: Initiate actions in the BTS and view reports associated with these actions Observe system behavior Perform local management functions such as monitoring alarms, events, and states.
1.1.1 Hardware Requirements

The following table shows the hardware requirements for the BTS terminal. Hardware Description Processor RAM Hard disk
Characteristics (minimum) Pentium II, III, 266 MHz 128 MBytes At least 60 MBytes free for program and data storage (except software environment). One drive 3 1/2", 1.4 MByte yes 1x serial interface + 1x PS/2 or 2x serial interface SVGA with 1024x768 pixel resolution SVGA Serial mouse or PS/2 mouse.
Diskette drive CD-ROM drive Interfaces Video adapter Monitor Mouse
The BTS terminal is connected to the BTS via an RS-232 asynchronous link cable. This cable is different for each type of BTS to be connected.
1.1.2 Software Requirements

The BTS terminal requires the following software: Windows 2000 or Windows XP BTS Terminal application software.
14 / 168
1.1.3 Communications Protocol

Data exchange between the PC and the BTS uses an RS-232 link and an Alcatel proprietary local protocol. If a transmission failure in either direction is detected, a retransmission is attempted automatically. If the transmission is unsuccessful after three attempts, the terminal software informs you that the interface is malfunctioning. If transmission is unsuccessful: Verify that the BTS terminal is not in standalone mode (see Status Bar (Section 2.1.3)). Check that the cable is connected correctly between the terminal and the BTS (see Install the Terminal (Section 1.2)). Restart the BTS terminal software (see Start the Terminal Software (Section 1.3)).
15 / 168
1.2 Install the Terminal

You do not need to connect the BTS terminal to the BTS before installing the terminal software. However, once it is physically connected, you have to run the terminal software and execute Connect to initialize the link.
Prerequisite
The user must have administrator rights for the terminal PC. To install the BTS terminal: 1. Connect the RS-232 asynchronous link cable from the COM1 port on the terminal PC to the MMI port on the BTS. The terminal software also supports COM2, COM3, or COM4. To change the settings to use these ports, see Start the Terminal Software (Section 1.3). 2. Insert the first BTS Terminal Installation diskette or the CD-ROM, if available. 3.

7.1.2.5 Modify Abis Mapping

Abis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs and their signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for each TRE in the order of selection. For instance if TRE 1 and TRE 4 are selected, then time slots 1, 2 are allocated to TRE1 and time slots 4, 5 to TRE 4 (time slot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocated TCHs and time slots, as required. The current configuration can be displayed, by clicking on [ Get Config ].
Change Signal Multiplexing Modify Abis Mapping -64 kbit/s
The Signalling drop-down menu allows you to change the mode of Signal Multiplexing. This defines how many time slots on the Abis Interface are occupied by signaling traffic for a given number of TCHs. You can assign 64 kBit signaling channels to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system, but manual allocation is possible. The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a warning message and aborts the configuration. To modify the Abis Mapping, using 64 kbit/s: 1. Open the Transmission Settings window with the menu path: Settings -> Transmission -> Board Configuration The SUM Board Configuration window is displayed. Wait until the current configuration is displayed. 2. Click on the required TRE check box. The TRE is automatically assigned two TCHs and a signaling time slot. The signaling is automatically set to 64 kBit. 3. Repeat Step (2) until all required TREs are assigned. If a data transmission rate of 64 kBit for signaling (per two traffic channels) is selected, a maximum of 10 TREs can be assigned. If you attempt to exceed this number, a warning message is displayed. In the event that more than 10 TREs require assignment to a single Abis link, a reduction of the data transmission rate is required, refer to Abis Mapping 16 kbit/s. 4. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation. 5. Click on [ Transmit ].
150 / 168
Modify Abis Mapping -16 kbit/s
You can assign 16 kBit signaling channels to Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic time slots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system, but manual allocation is possible. The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight time slots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocation of time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays a warning message and aborts the configuration, upon attempted transmission. To modify the Abis Mapping, using 16 kbit: 1. Open the Transmission Settings window by selecting: Settings -> Transmission -> Board Configuration The SUM Board Configuration window displayed. Wait until the current configuration is displayed. 2. Select the required TRE check box. 3. Select [ Enable 16 kBit ] for the appropriate group, each group contains four TREs, or select the required Nibble manually. The signaling rate is automatically set to 16 kBit, using all eight bits per time slot. The 16 kBit rate provides four Nibbles of two bits (numbered 0 to 3) to each signaling time slot of a TRE. 4. Repeat Step 2 until all required TREs are assigned. 5. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation, if required. 6. Click on [ Transmit ].
