RNC and NodeB V1 transport, radio and hardware configuration
is contained in Office Data (OD).

The Office Data Macro Tool (ODTM)
offers a set of macros, with which the
operator can create and modify the
OD files.

The radio configuration of the RNC OD
files is principally done by RNO tuning
sessions whereas the creation/deletion
of cells and the radio configuration of the
NodeB V1 OD files is done by ODTM.

NPA imports periodically PM counters
from NM (SNM + EM).

NPA generates QoS indicators.

NPA offers a user interface to browse
