Maintenance
Background
Due to larger network and
more alarms, it takes more
time to obtain alarms
everyday
It is so difficult to obtain
the key alarms and alarms
which have influence on
site running among the
huge amount of alarms.
There is no corresponding
guide for unclassified
alarms.

Alarm Analyzer
Functions

ZXG10 alarm analyzer obtains alarms

directly from the server database,
makes statistic on alarms of alarm NE
and records the data in EXCEL.
Make analysis on the obtained alarms to
facilitate looking for sites with alarms or
alarms in the history alarms.
Make statistic on transmission alarms,
SWR alarms, environment alarms
respectively to facilitate
troubleshooting.
Provide guide for site alarms

Frequency Conversion Tool

FCT compares frequency conversion planning with the data of existing

network to automatically produce the man-machine command for data
adjustment, so as to realize quick and accurate frequency conversion.

One-Touch Upgrade Tool

Complex upgrade operations and excessive steps. The experienced

engineers are necessary for upgrading; otherwise, the upgrade will
fail or have severe problems, which will seriously influence the
customer satisfaction.
Due to the long outage during the upgrade, the customer
satisfaction is low.

Long outage
Long upgrade process. The long-time upgrade drains away
engineers strength, esp. upgrade for multiple offices, which makes
the employees satisfaction low.

Exhaustion

IBSC 6.20 version upgrade is approaching, HOW can we do?

One-Touch Upgrade Tool

Comparison

Conventional Upgrade

One-touch Upgrade

1. It takes more than 3 hours to

complete the upgrade.

1. It takes no more than 1 hour to

complete the background upgrade.

2. There are so many upgrade

steps that it is easier to neglect
some steps.

2. Check before upgrading is automatically

completed. The background health check can
also be performed.

3. The upgrade flows are fussy

and operations are complicated.

3. One-touch operation

4. Manual operation. The

technique requirement is high.

4. Automatically complete

Some iBSC 6.20 version upgrades in Hong Kong CSL project, Fujian
Quanzhou, Liaoning Dalian, Guizhou Bijie have been completed. The
tool will be large-scale used in domestic projects.

V2-V3 Swap

Background
iBSC replaces BSC
Operation on commercial sites with high risks.
First-time success is requested.
Large-scale network with huge amount of data
Multiple kinds of handover;
Extremely high requirement of cell parameter accuracy

Manual expansion with low efficiency,

high technique requirement and high risk

V2-V3 Swap
Swap Tool

Datamove
Move parameters of
the original V2 cells to
iBSC cells.
Directly perform
database operations,
with high efficiency.

CNO-G(NOP)
Move adjacent cells
and parameters of the
original V2 cells to
iBSC.
Automatically adjust
internal and external
cells, and create MMI
commands.

It was used in Pakistan first. It worked outstandingly in the important overseas

projects, like Libyan swap project.
E.g.: with this tool, it took only 2 days to make data for all the sites of each iBSC
for Libyan swap project (in which 43 V2 BSCs were swapped to 9 iBSCs).

configuration for GSM products. The efficiency is raised, the difficulty
of data configuration is dropped, and the accuracy is improved.
