1.1 Principles of the Data Configuration

1.1.1 Approaches for the Data Configuration
The data configuration is implemented through the BSC Data Auto Configuration System (DACS). This system uses a GUI interface and a wizard for the configuration and provides the following three data configuration modes:
z z z
Initial Data Configuration Work Mode System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode View Data Configuration Work Mode
The description about the three modes is listed in Figure 1-1.
Table 1-1 Description about the three configuration modes Mode Initial data configuration work mode Description Most of the configuration is automatically implemented by the system. You only need to input the data and make some adjustment. System dynamically configuration work mode View data configuration work mode The configuration is task-oriented. You can complete the task by following the wizard. The system generates commands automatically. Under this mode, you can view the network topology, network planning data, and engineering data.
You can start the BSC DACS system:

z z
Through the OMC System. Through the iManager M2000 System.
Through the OMC System

To start the BSC DACS system through the OMC system, you can
z
Start the OMC Shell, connect to the OMC Server, and then start the BSC DACS system if the OMC Server exists. Start the OMC Local WS, connect to the BAM by specifying the IP address of the BAM, and then start the BSC DACS system if the OMC Server does not exist.
1-2
Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
Through the iManager M2000 System

To start the BSC DACS system through the iManager M2000 system, you can
z
Connect to the M2000 Server through the iManager M2000 client, and then start the BSC DACS system if the M2000 Server exists. Without M2000 Server, start the Local WS through the iManager M2000 Client and then set the IP address of BAM, and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.
When the BSC DACS system starts, it downloads the file AutoCfg.dat from the BAM to the Work Station (WS) through FTP. After the transfer and conversion or the dynamic configuration is accomplished, the BSC DACS system uploads the file AutoCfg.dat from the WS to the BAM through FTP.
The BSC data configuration principle is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Data configuration principle
1.1.2 Data Types
Besides the module data, there are also such important files as cc08.bsm, cc08.ctn, cc08.mcm, cc08.mcs and cc08.snt under the directory \DLOAD. The data under the directory \DLOAD cannot be deleted or modified during the routine maintenance. The description about the data types is listed in Table 1-2.
Issue 08 (2006-08-20)

See note
FAM data Note:
Binary
Stored in the GMPU
The data converted from *.DBF is stored in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD, with the file name of DB_*.DAT. Here, the "*" represents the module number. One module corresponds to one data file. The converted file is transferred to the Main Process Unit (GMPU) during the data loading or setting.
The relationship between various kinds of data is shown in Figure 1-2.

Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
1.1.3 Saving, Restoring, Transferring, and Converting Data

All the directories mentioned in this manual are the default installation directories unless otherwise stated
To save the data, choose File > Backup Data to. To restore the data, choose File > Reload Data from if the system exits abnormally. After all the data is configured, convert the auto configuration data into the *.DBF format and then into the *.DAT format. Finally reset all the modules to load the data.
1.2 Operation Authority

Wrong data configuration or improper operations can greatly affect stability of the system. To avoid this, the operation authority must be properly managed.
A user name and password cannot be shared by multiple operators. The operators granted with the advanced authority must be expert at operating the system. To ensure the stable running of the system, the BSC32 divides the users into three categories. The operation authorities of these users are as follows:
Table 1-3 Operation authorities of various users User Advanced user Operation Authority Enjoys the highest operation authority. They can implement any kind of data configuration. Advanced users refer to users with authorities to manage the OMC. Ordinary user Can enter the System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode and the View Data Configuration Work Mode. Ordinary users include users with Service Setting Authority, users with Management Authority, and users with OMC Setting Authority. Browse user Can only browse data.

1.3 Configuration Procedure

The file AutoCfg.dat is stored in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata. It is automatically backed up to C:\omcbkup\ G3BSC32V300R002C13 at 3:00 a.m. every day.
The name of the backup file is YYMMDDHHMMSS.Dat, which means Year Month Day Hour Minute Second. The procedure to configure the data is as follows: Step 1 Back up the files AutoCfg.dat and *.dbf in the BAM. The directory of the AutoCfg.dat is C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata. The directory of the *.dbf is C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dbf. Step 2 Prepare a detailed data configuration scheme and a recovery measures for failure. Step 3 For the critical dynamic configuration, first perform it in a simulating environment and check whether the refreshed DBF data table is correct. If it is correctly refreshed, perform the operation in actual environment. Step 4 If the transfer and convert operation fails during the initial configuration, repeat this operation until it succeeds. Step 5 If abnormality occurs during the dynamic configuration, refer to section 1.8 "Troubleshooting to handle it. ----End
1.4 Starting the BSC DACS System

If you start the BSC DACS for the first time, the system gives the prompt saying "The data file in BAM is demolished, please repair the data file first and then restart BSC Data Auto Configuration System" when there is no AutoCfg.dat in the BAM. To handle this, refer to part 1.8.3 "File AutoCfg.dat not Exist in the FTP Server."
The BSC DACS system can be started through the following three ways.
Through the OMC Shell

Step 1 Start the Huawei GSM OMC SHELL. In the main interface of the Huawei GSM OMC SHELL, right-click a BSC icon to show the shortcut menu, as shown in Figure 1-3.

Figure 1-9 Starting the BSC DACS system through the OMC Local WS
The BSC DACS system obtains data from the FTP Server. After the data is successfully loaded, the work mode selection interface appears, as shown in Figure 1-4.
Regardless of the way through which the BSC DACS system starts, the BSC DACS system always obtains the configuration data through the file AutoCfg.dat stored in the BAM. This ensures the integrity and consistency of the data. Back up the file AutoCfg.dat before implementing some critical operations (for instance, transfer/convert data table, dynamic configuration and refresh selected tables) because these operations refresh the file AutoCfg.dat.
----End
1.5 Introduction to the Initial Data Configuration

Use the initial data configuration only for new deployment or large scale upgrade in an office. After transferring/converting data under the initial data configuration, reset the BSC to load the data. Otherwise, the data in GMPU, DBF, and BSC DACS may be inconsistent.
The initial data configuration uses a GUI interface and provides default data configuration. You only need to input some data and the system auto checks the validity of the data and generates the data configuration.
1.5.1 Starting the Initial Data Configuration

The procedure to start the initial data configuration is as follows: Step 1 Log in to the BSC DACS as an advanced user (with the right to mange the OMC). Step 2 In the Welcome to Data Auto Configuration System interface, as shown in Figure 1-4, choose Initial Data Configuration Work Mode. The dialog box as shown in Figure 1-10 opens.

AutoCfg.dat Loading Procedure
The critical operations such as data transferring/converting and dynamic data setting refresh the default data configuration file AutoCfg.dat. Therefore, back up the default file AutoCfg.dat before implementing these operations. Step 1 When started from the OMC Shell, the BSC DACS downloads the file AutoCfg.dat from the BAM to the directory \sysdata in the WS. The original file AutoCfg.dat in the WS is overwritten. Step 2 The GUI interface is generated based on the data in the file AutoCfg.dat. If the communication between the BAM and the host is interrupted, or the FTP Server does not start, the BSC DACS prompt you to exit, as shown in Figure 1-19.

This parameters sets the timeout threshold for the transferring of a single message. Modifying this parameter affects the timeout of the transfer operation (see Note below). Increase the value of this parameter when the network is of bad quality. The default value is 200.
Flow control slide window for adding data Flow Control Slide Window For Deleting Data Transmit Speed
Set the number of slide windows for adding data. Control flow of the BAM. If the data of BAM are too large, the value can be decreased properly so as to decrease impact to flow load of BAM. The default value is 11. Set the number of slide windows for deleting data. Control flow of the BAM. If the data of BAM are too large, the value can be decreased properly so as to decrease impact to flow load of BAM. The default value is 2.
z
This parameter sets the speed to transfer data from the BSC DACS to the BAM. Reduce the value of this parameter when the network is of bad quality. The default value is 5 kbit/s. This parameter sets the timeout threshold for the convert operation. Increase the value of this parameter when the network is of bad quality. The default value is 180.
Convert BAM Data Table Timeout Threshold (s) Dynamic Configuration timeout threshold(s) Lock BAM Timeout Threshold(s)
This parameter sets the timeout threshold for dynamic configuration. Increase the value of this parameter when the network is of bad quality. The default value is300. This parameter sets the timeout threshold for the BSC DACS to lock the BAM. Increase the value of this parameter the network is of bad quality. The default value is 5. This parameter specifies when the BSC DACS auto unlocks the BAM. If the BSC DACS is idle for a time longer than this value in the dynamic configuration mode, the BAM is auto unlocked.
Unlock BAM Interval When Idle In Dynamic Mode (M) Note:
It takes long time for BAM to execute the OMC_DELETE command. Therefore, the number of Flow control slide window for deleting data cannot be set too large.

1.5.5 Transferring and Converting Data

Introduction to This Operation
The transfer operation transfers the data configured in the BSC DACS to the BAM to refresh the data in the BAM. Then the convert operation converts the transferred data to a format that can be loaded to the GMPU. The new data is loaded after the BSC resets.
Operation Guide
To transfer and convert data, perform according to the following steps:
or choose File > Transfer > Step 1 In the BSC DAC, click Transfer/Convert Data Table to open the Transfer and Convert Data dialog box as shown in Figure 1-21.
Figure 1-21 Prompt for the transfer and convert operation
Step 2 Press Ctrl + Shift + F6 to activate Yes. Step 3 Click Yes to implement the data transfer operation, as shown in Figure 1-22.

Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
Figure 1-22 Transfer progress indication
Do not quit the transfer/convert operation during the transfer/convert process. In the case of power failure during the transfer/convert process, implement the operation again. If the network is of bad quality, the transfer process may terminate due to timeout. In this case, increase the value of the parameter Convert BAM Data Table Timeout Threshold (s).
Step 4 When the data transfer is complete, the dialog box as shown in Figure 1-23 appears, which means that the transfer succeeded and the convert operation starts.
Figure 1-23 Convert progress indication
If the network is of bad quality, the convert process may terminate due to timeout. In this case, increase the value of the parameter Single Message Timeout Threshold (Ms).
Step 5 After the convert operation is complete, the dialog box as shown in Figure 1-24 opens, prompting that the transfer/convert operation succeeded.

Internal Processing Flow of the Transfer/Convert Operation

The internal processing flow of the transfer/convert operation is as follows: Step 1 The BSC DACS verifies if all the data are correct, for example, to check whether the CGI is duplicate, and whether the RC is allocated with frequencies. Step 2 Calculate all the data according to the current configuration, for example, the board No., radio channel configuration table, LAPD signal connection table and LAPD semi-fixed connection table. Step 3 The BSC DACS sends the command OMC_DELETE to the BAM to clear the DBF data in the BAM. By default, all the tables are cleared. If you specify the tables, only the specified tables are cleared. Step 4 Based on the current configuration, the BSC DACS determines what data is to be filled into the DBF data table, encapsulates these data into frames, and send them to the BAM. The BAM fills the data frames into the data tables. Step 5 After the transfer operation, the BSC DACS auto saves the file AutoCfg.dat in the workstation, and then load the file to the BAM through FTP. Step 6 If the uploading of the file AutoCfg.dat to the BAM fails, the convert operation is not executed. In this case, do not exit the BSC DACS. After resolve the fault of FTP Server, upload the file AutoCfg.dat again. Step 7 After succeeding in uploading the file AutoCfg.dat, the BSC DACS sends the convert command to convert the data. After the transfer and convert operation, reset the BSC entirely to keep the data consistency between BAM and GMPU. ----End

1.6 Introduction to the Dynamic Data Configuration

The dynamic data configuration is usually used for daily maintenance, such as modifying network optimization parameters dynamically, and adding or deleting BTS, cell, or RC dynamically.
The dynamic data configuration enables you to modify the data of the GMPU and BTS without resetting the GMPU of BSC. It uses a wizard, guiding you to complete the system configuration and network parameter optimization. It uses a Man-Machine interface. You can input the configuration commands step by step and the BSC DACS sends the commands to the BAM. The BAM executes the commands to implement the data configuration.
1.6.1 Starting the Dynamic Data Configuration

The procedure to start the dynamic data configuration is as follows: Step 1 Log in to the BSC DACS as an advanced user (with the right to mange the OMC). Step 2 In the Welcome to Data Auto Configuration System interface, choose System Dynamical Configuration Work Mode.

1.6.9 Dynamic Configuration Process

With Command
The process of the dynamic configuration with command is as follows: Step 1 The BSC DACS generates all data for BSC table according to this dynamic configuration. Step 2 BAM data tables are refreshed according to the corresponding table IDs in the command, and the command is filled in the Command Reference Table.
"Refresh" means to clear the data table first, and then fill in the table with new data record.
Step 3 The data is saved to the configuration file in the BSC DACS, and the corresponding data table and command line parameter are set to the current module (BM), and data will be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The step is described as the first setting in the following text.
Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
1-35
----End
If part of the data tables need to be sent to all modules (BM), the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will refresh these data tables and clear the record in the table of command line parameters. Then the configuration file will be saved to the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, and these data tables (including the empty table of command line parameters) will then be set to all modules (BM), and configuration data will again be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The step is described as the second setting in the following text.
Sending data tables to all modules is also called Inter-module Broadcast.
Secondary setting can be performed for the following dynamic operations. Such as add/delete sites, add/delete cells, add/delete TRXs, add/delete external cells, modify external cell property, modify interface phase flag, modify cell handover parameters, modify cell FH attributes, modify cell BCC and NCC, modify TRX channel type, modify TRX frequencies, modify cell installation status, modify voice optimization parameters, modify monitor timeslot, configure bypass switch, configure BIE trunk networking mode and mobile BTS.
The procedure of batch modify cell parameters is same as the procedure described in above. System generates the corresponding commands. The configuration procedure is determined by the commands.
Without Command
BSC Data Auto Configuration System generates all data for BSC table according to this dynamic configuration without command. BAM data table will be refreshed according to the corresponding ID of the current configuration. And then the corresponding data table will be set to all BM, and data will be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.
1.7 Introduction to the View Data Work Mode

The main interface of this mode is the same as that of the initial data configuration mode. This mode is used to show the current BSC networking architecture of the BSC, the engineering parameter and the network parameters. In this mode, you can modify the system configuration, but the modification is not saved. It is very useful for the beginner to get acquaintance with the system without affecting the running of the system. For example, click Transfer > Convert, the following prompt appears, as shown in Figure 1-32.
1-36
Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
Figure 1-32 Information prompting that data cannot be transferred
It is recommended to use this mode to view the networking data even for the advanced users. This can prevent the improper operation that may affect the running of the BSC.
1.8 Troubleshooting
1.8.1 Failed to Loading Data When the BST DACS Starts
Fault Description
When the BSC DACS started, the prompt information as shown in Figure 1-33 appears.

Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
1-37
The bad quality of the network also leads to the failure of loading data from FTP server. Exit the BSC DACS and restart the BSC DACS after a while, the problem may be solved.
1.8.2 Version Inconsistent

Fault Description
The warning prompt appears when the BSC DACS is loading data, as shown in Figure 1-34.
When the BSC DACS loads data, it checks if the version of the file AutoCfg.dat is consistent with the version of itself.
Figure 1-34 Version inconsistent

The version of the file AutoCfg.dat is inconsistent with that of the BSC DACS. The BSC DACS is downward compatible, therefore,
z
If the version of the BSC DACS is higher than that of the file AutoCfg.dat, the BSC DACS can run normally. Ignore the warning prompt. If the version of the BSC DACS is lower than that of the file AutoCfg.dat, upgrade the version of the BSC DACS. If the warning prompt appears during the upgrade, ignore the prompt.
1.8.3 File AutoCfg.dat not Exist in the FTP Server

Fault Description
When the BSC DACS starts for the first time, the prompt as shown in Figure 1-35 opens.
1-38
Issue 08 (2006-08-20)
Figure 1-35 File AutoCfg.dat error

The file AutoCfg.dat does not exist if the BSC DACS runs for the first time. You can solve this problem through the following way: Copy an old file AutoCfg.dat to the directory C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD\CFGDATA.
1.8.4 Operation Authority Limited

Fault Description
When you log in to the BSC DACS, the following information appear, prompting that you can only start the View Data Configuration Work Mode, as shown in Figure 1-36.
Figure 1-36 Operation authority limited

Users with different operation authority can only implement corresponding operations. To start different configuration mode, get relevant operation authority first and then log in to the BSC DACS. For details about the operation authority, see section 1.2 "Operation Authority."

1.8.5 BSC DACS Locked

Fault Description
When you log in to the BSC DACS, the following information appears, prompting that you can only start the View Data Configuration Work Mode.
Figure 1-37 BSC DACS locked
Exit the BSC DACS first and then exit the OMC Shell or the OMC Local WS. Do not exit the BSC DACS directly by closing the OMC Shell or the OMC Local WS. Two possible causes may lead to this situation.
z
A user is implementing the data configuration
To avoid the corruption of the data in the BAM, only one user can modify the data in the BAM at a time. When a user is implementing the initial configuration or dynamic configuration, the BAM is locked by the user and you can only start the View Data Configuration Mode. After the user exits the BSC DACS, the BAM is unlocked and you can implement the initial configuration or dynamic configuration.
z
A user who implements the data configuration quits the BSC DACS abnormally
If a user who implements the data configuration quits the BSC DACS abnormally, the BAM may still be locked. In this case, find the workstation according to the IP address in the prompt information as shown in Figure 1-37 and log in to the BSC DACS again through this workstation. Exit the BSC DACS normally and the BAM is unlocked.

If fault occurs Before the dynamic configuration is saved for the second time
The result is The file AutoCfg.dat in the BAM is updated.
The solution is to In this case, update the following tables in the initial mode: Cell Description Data Table, Cell Module Information Table, External Cell Description Table, and Frequency Hopping Data Table and send the updated tables to all modules. If the dynamic configuration is to implement the operation Modify BSC Interface Phase Flag or Modify Voice Optimize Parameter, send the Local Office Information Table to all modules.
During the dynamic configuration, the modules configured with data in the multi-module BSC must be operational. Otherwise, the dynamic configuration may time out.
1.8.8 FTP Server Interrupted During Dynamic Configuration

Fault Description
The file AutoCfg.dat cannot be loaded to the BAM due to the interruption of the FTP Server.
Handling Suggestions
To handle this fault, perform according to the following: Step 1 Do not exit the BSC DACS and keep the BAM in "locked" state to prevent other users from entering the dynamic data configuration mode to modify the data. Step 2 After the FTP Server is recovered, choose Options > Backup Data to > FTP Server to load the file AutoCfg.dat to the FTP server. A prompt as shown in Figure 1-38 opens, prompting you whether to overwrite the existing file.
