Local Maintenance Terminal software installed and connects to the O&M network
for an NE. You can operate and maintain NEs by using the LMT.

LMT PC
The LMT PC is a hardware concept. It refers to a computer where the Huawei
Local Maintenance Terminal software is installed.

LMT Software
The LMT software refers to the Huawei Local Maintenance Terminal software
developed by Huawei and installed on the LMT PC.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

1.2.2 Functions of the LMT


The LMT is used to assist with base station deployment, and locally locate and fix
faults.

Use the LMT to operate and maintain a base station in the following scenarios:

● When the OM channel between the base station and MAE is unavailable, use
the LMT to deploy the base station locally.
● When communications between the base station and MAE are interrupted,
use the LMT to locate and fix the faults.
● When alarms are generated on the base station and related boards must be
locally replaced, use the LMT to locate and fix the faults.
NOTE

When the base station is appropriately communicating with the MAE, you are advised to
operate and maintain the base station on the remote network management center. When
you want to obtain real-time information about a base station from the MAE to locate
faults, the MAE may fail to provide adequate information because it manages many
network elements (NEs). In this situation, use the LMT to operate and maintain the base
station.

The LMT provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which helps users operate and
maintain the base station on the web. The LMT implements the following local
OM functions:

● Executes man-machine language (MML) commands


● Manages alarms and events
● Processes data in batches
● Traces messages
● Monitors base station performance
● Maintains equipment
● Enables the base station to perform self-tests
NOTE

● Only Chinese or English characters are supported on the LMT. If characters in other
languages are entered on the LMT, exceptions may occur on the GUI.
● The LMT records user operations, such as login, deregistration, user addition, and user
removal in the operation log. You can run the MML command ULD LOG to export and
view the operation log. For details about how to use this command, see 3900 & 5900
Series Base Station MML Command Reference.

1.2.3 System Requirements for LMT Installation


An LMT PC must meet the following hardware configuration, software
configuration, port, and communication capability requirements.

Hardware Configuration
Table 1-1 lists the hardware requirements for the LMT PC.

Issue 04 (2022-07-29) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 7


3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

Table 1-1 Hardware configuration requirements

Item Recommended Minimum


Configuration Configuration

CPU 2.8 GHz or higher 866 MHz

RAM 1GB 512 MB

Hard disk 80 GB 10 GB

Video card resolution 1024 x 768 or higher 1024 × 768

CD-ROM drive - -

Others A keyboard, a mouse, a A keyboard and a mouse


modem, an audio card,
and a sound box

NOTE

When a PC has been running for a long time or multiple programs occupying huge memory
space are running on the PC, memory usage of the PC almost reaches 100%. In this case, if
the LMT starts, the PC cannot allocate sufficient memory space to the LMT, and exceptions
may occur, such as slower user interface (UI) response and unavailability of tracing and
monitoring functions.
Mappings between the PC memory and the number of LMT clients that can simultaneously
start on the PC are as follows:
● On a PC of 4 GB memory, 32 LMT clients can simultaneously start.
● On a PC of 2 GB memory, 16 LMT clients can simultaneously start.
● On a PC of 1 GB memory, eight LMT clients can simultaneously start.
● On a PC of 512 MB memory, four LMT clients can simultaneously start.
The preceding mappings apply when no other software is running on the PC and only basic
functions, such as MML, alarm, and device panel, are used on the LMT. When other
functions are running on an LMT such as tracing, monitoring, and batch processing, the
LMT will consume over 50 MB additional memory on the PC. Therefore, fewer LMT clients
can simultaneously start on the PC.

Software Configuration
The LMT PC must meet the following software requirements:

● Operating system
– Microsoft Windows Server 2012
– Microsoft Windows Server 2016
– Microsoft Windows 10
NOTE

● Currently, the LMT supports 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems and web browsers.
● Microsoft officially stopped supporting Windows 7 on January 14, 2020. The LMT
no longer supports Windows 7. Please upgrade the operating system to a later
version.

● Default language of the operating system


English
● Web browser
– Chrome browser (latest Stable Channel version)
– Firefox (latest ESR version)
● Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (AdoptOpenJDK is recommended.)
– JRE 1.8.X (recommended)
– JRE 1.7.X (not supported)
– JRE 1.6.X (not supported)

You must set the security level of the web browser to medium or low. Otherwise,
the LMT menu cannot be viewed.

If you use a browser of a non-recommended version to log in to the LMT, a


message is displayed on the login page.

To improve system security, enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 when using the browser.

Ensure that the protocol version, encryption algorithm, and signature algorithm
supported by the browser match those of the LMT. Otherwise, SSL connection
failures are displayed when you log in to the LMT. For example, the certificate of
the ED25519 key type is not widely supported by browsers. Therefore, when the
SSL certificate on the base station is set to the ED25519 key type, the LMT may
fail to be accessed.

If the zoom ratio of a web page is not 100%, the WebLMT page may be displayed
abnormally. Therefore, you are advised to use the WebLMT on a web page with
100% zoom ratio.

Keep the browser window maximized when using WebLMT. If the browser window
is not maximized, the WebLMT interface is not fully displayed.

Port Requirements
Use a web browser to log in to the NE for O&M. If a firewall exists between the
NE and the LMT PC, ports 20, 21, and 80 must be enabled on the firewall; If
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) or WebSocket Secure (WSS) is
required, ports 20, 21, and 443 must be enabled on the firewall.

NOTE

● Ports 20 and 21 are used for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and must be enabled in the
case of file transfer using FTP.
● Port 443 is used for the HTTPS and WSS by default.

Communication Capability
The LMT PC must support TCP/IP protocols.

The minimum effective bandwidth for the LMT is 512 kbit/s. The recommended
bandwidth is 2 Mbit/s or larger.

NOTE

● The network bandwidth limits the web page opening speed. If the recommended
effective bandwidth is provided, the LMT runs fast. If the minimum effective network
bandwidth is provided, all the functions can be performed but the LMT runs slowly.
● The effective bandwidth is the bandwidth occupied by the LMT. If multiple applications
compete for the bandwidth, the LMT may run slowly even if a 2 Mbit/s bandwidth is
provided.

1.2.6 Configuring the Emergency OM Channel


For a separate-MPT multimode base station, an emergency OM channel is used to
maintain a faulty base station through the OM channel of a normal base station.
The maintenance includes proxy PNP tracing, operations using proxy MML
commands, and proxy file transfer for the faulty base station through the
emergency OM channel of the normal base station.

Prerequisites
The operator has agreed to the solution of maintaining the target base station
using a proxy base station and it is confirmed that this maintenance mode does
not have security risks.

Context
● In this document, the target base station refers to the faulty base station and
the proxy base station refers to the normal base station.
● Ensure that the proxy base station connects to the target base station by
using the HTTPS policy.
● Ensure that the emergency OM channel can be established only between one
proxy base station and one target base station.
● If the proxy base station or target base station is reset after the emergency
OM channel between them is successfully established, the emergency OM
channel needs to be re-established five minutes after the reset. Otherwise, the
emergency OM channel cannot be re-established and a message prompts
that an emergency OM channel exists.
● Before establishing an emergency OM channel, users can choose whether
they want to see the emergency OM channel status on the main page or not.
If they want to see the status, select Notify Emergency OM Channel Status
in the Configure Emergency OM Channel dialog box.
● If the target base station is a GBTS, the gNodeB cannot be used as a proxy
base station to maintain the target base station.

Procedure
Step 1 Click Configure Emergency OM Channel on the menu bar of the LMT.

The Configure Emergency OM Channel dialog box is displayed.

Step 2 Set related parameters in the Configure Emergency OM Channel dialog box. For

1.3 Getting Started with the LMT


This section describes how to manage LMT rights and how to log in to and log out
of the LMT. A minimum of 1 GB free space is required to ensure that the LMT runs
correctly.

1.3.1 Logging In to and Logging Out of the LMT


You can log in to the LMT to manage the base station locally. After the O&M
channel between the base station and the MAE server is established, you can log
in to the base station using the MAE proxy.

Prerequisites
● Before logging in to the LMT in Microsoft Windows Server 2012, install the
cipher suite patch. For details, see 1.6.6.5 How to Install the Cipher Suite
Patch.
● Before using the LMT, install the JAVA Platform Standard Edition Runtime
Environment (JRE) plug-in on the LMT PC.
– The JRE plug-in can be downloaded from the Java official website.
– If the JRE plug-in is not installed on the PC or the installed JRE plug-in is
not the compatible version, the Java client window cannot be opened or
some functions of the LMT cannot work properly.
NOTE

For problems about installing or using the Java plug-in, follow instructions provided in
1.6.6.6 Help for Installing and Using the Java Plug-in.
– After a successful login to the LMT main page, when you click the batch
processing, tracing, monitoring, or device maintenance function, the
Local Maintenance Terminal window is opened for you to execute
commands or view data and results. For details about how to open the
Local Maintenance Terminal, see 1.6.6.7 How to Open the Local
Maintenance Terminal.
– If you cannot log in to the LMT after the JRE plug-in is upgraded to the
latest version, restart the browser and log in again.

Context
● LMT users are categorized into local users and EMS users. For details, see
1.3.2.1 Concepts Related to Rights Management.
● By default, only one local user or EMS user can log in to the LMT. (If the base
station is properly connected to the OSS, local users cannot log in to the LMT
locally by default. For details, see note "When you try to connect the LMT PC
to the base station through the local maintenance port" in "Procedure" of this

Issue 04 (2022-07-29) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 24

section.) If more users need to log in to the system at the same time, run the
SET USRMAXONLINE command to change the default value.
NOTE

● A maximum of six local users and EMS users can log in to the LMT at the same
time.
● By default, the HTTPS or WSS is used for connecting to the LMT. If you enter
an HTTP URL in a web browser to connect to the LMT, the HTTP request
automatically changes to an HTTPS request.
● Connection to the LMT over HTTPS or WSS requires digital certificates. If the
base station is not configured with a digital certificate or the digital certificate
status is abnormal (you can run the DSP APPCERT command to query the
digital certificate status), you cannot access the LMT. (In the case of
certificate expiration, access to the LMT is allowed, but you are advised to
replace the digital certificate as soon as possible.)
– The operator-issued certificate and device certificate of a base station on
the LMT are in a descending order of priorities.
– If an operator has deployed a PKI system, secure base station deployment
by PnP is recommended and the operator-issued certificate must be
obtained prior to access.
● After the ACT CFGFILE command is executed to activate the minimum
configuration, you can access the LMT only in HTTPS mode. Ensure that the
digital certificate is normal before activating the minimum configuration.
● When the LMT is running, do not change the system time or time zone of the
LMT PC. Otherwise, a critical fault may occur in the system. If the system time
or time zone has to be changed, perform the operation after the LMT exits.
● The refresh function of the browser cannot be used on the LMT. If you use the
refresh function in the LMT main window, the LMT is logged out. If you use
the refresh function on the monitor window, an error occurs in the script.
● Before you upgrade or roll back the LMT version, clear the browser's cache
and cookies.
● The LMT supports only the connection policy indicated by
HTTPS_ONLY(Https_only). You can run the SET WEBLOGINPOLICY
command to set the default connection policy of the LMT, but connection
policies other than that indicated by HTTPS_ONLY(Https_only) do not take
effect. In later versions, connection policies, except that indicated by
HTTPS_ONLY(Https_only), will be deleted. Therefore,
HTTPS_ONLY(Https_only) is recommended.
● If the WebLMT Login Policy parameter is set to HTTPS_ONLY(Https_only)
but login by HTTP is configured on the MAE, login to the LMT in MAE proxy
mode does not work.
● The password status will be checked when you log in to the LMT. You can set
whether the LMT can force the user to change the password upon the first
login by running the SET PWDPOLICY command.
● The TLS/SSL version of the web browser and the JRE must be set to the same
value as the TLS/SSL Version parameter configured using the SET
WEBLOGINPOLICY command. Otherwise, the Web LMT login page cannot be
opened using the web browser or the Web LMT that you have logged in to
cannot work properly.

NOTE

● When you try to connect the LMT PC to the base station through the local
maintenance port, you may encounter the following four scenarios:
● If the LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH parameter is set to ENABLE(Enable),
the LMT PC can be directly connected to the base station through the
local maintenance port.
● If the OMCH works properly and LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH is set to
DISABLE(Disable), the base station disables the local maintenance port
by default. If you need to connect the LMT PC to the base station
through the local maintenance port, first run the MML command SET
LOCALETHPORT on the MAE with LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH set to
ENABLE(Enable).
● If the base station cannot be maintained remotely due to OMCH faults,
the base station reports ALM-25901 Remote Maintenance Link Failure
after the OMCH is interrupted for 5 minutes. If the
LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH parameter is set to DISABLE(Disable), the
base station automatically enables the local maintenance port. The LMT
PC can connect to the base station through the local maintenance port.
After the OMCH is restored, the base station disables the local
maintenance port. In this case, the LMT PC cannot connect to the base
station through the local maintenance port. If you need to connect the
LMT PC to the base station through the local maintenance port, first run
the MML command SET LOCALETHPORT on the MAE with
LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH set to ENABLE(Enable).
● If the OMCH MO is not configured on the base station and the
LOCALETHPORT.SWITCH parameter is set to DISABLE(Disable), the
base station automatically enables the local maintenance port after
restart. In this case, the LMT PC can connect to the base station through
the local maintenance port.
● If the LMT PC is configured with a WLAN wireless network adapter and the
local wireless access point device is enabled on the base station (by running
the SET LOCALWAP command with Switch set to default value ON(On)),
the PC can be connected to the base station through the local wireless access
point device as long as the base station transmits WLAN signals:
● If the OMCH works properly, the base station disables WLAN signals by
default. To connect the LMT PC to the base station through a local
wireless access point device, run the SET LOCALWAPSW command on
the MAE with Enable Switch set to ENABLE and Enable Elapse Time
set to an appropriate value. During the time specified by Enable Elapse
Time, the base station transmits WLAN signals so that the LMT PC can
be connected to the base station through a local wireless access point
device.
● If the OMCH is disconnected, the base station automatically transmits
WLAN signals to allow for the connection. After the OMCH recovers, the
base station transmits WLAN signals within the duration specified by AP
auto disable time. The LMT PC can connect to the base station through
the local wireless access point device. You can run the SET LOCALWAP
command to set the AP auto disable time parameter.
● For details about how to configure a WLAN wireless NIC on a PC, see 1.6.6.8
How to Configure Wireless NIC on a Computer.
● The service set identifier (SSID) of the local wireless access point device is in
the format of HID_XXXXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXXXX indicates the last 10
digits in the ESN.
● The initial password of the local wireless access point device is T4$9Mc@q#
$rb&hFL (case-sensitive). The password can be changed using the SET
LOCALWAPPWD command on the MAE.

NOTE

● To log in to the Web LMT locally, you need to set the IP address of the LMT
PC to be in the same network segment as the IP address of the base station.
● For NodeBs:
● If main control board UMPT is upgraded from V200R014C00 or earlier to
V200R015C00 or later, use the IP address before the upgrade as the local
maintenance IP address.
● If main control board UMPT is newly delivered and the software version
is V200R015C00 or later, use 192.168.0.49 as the default local
maintenance IP address.
● If the ACT CFGFILE command is executed to enable the minimum
configuration and Reserved IP is set to NO, the local maintenance IP address
is restored to 192.168.0.49.
● The local maintenance IP address cannot be the same or on the same
network segment as an existing IP address used on the live network. If such a
local maintenance IP address is used, it must be changed by running the SET
LOCALIP command. Otherwise, information on the MAE, such as counters

log in to the base station as an EMS user, ensure that the base station is
connected to the MAE server.

Operation Rights
LMT operators include an internal operator and external operators.
● The internal operator is a default system account with the user name being
admin and password being Y5$7Kc@u#$tr&LhF. The internal operator has
administration rights.
● There are five levels of external operators with different rights as follows:
– GUEST: Operators of this level are allowed only to view data. They can
use command groups G_0, G_2, G_4, G_6, G_8, G_10, G_12, G_16, G_18,
and G_20.
– USER: Operators of this level have the rights of GUEST-level operators
and are also allowed to operate and maintain the system. They can use
any command groups other than G_1, G_9, G_14, or G_15.
– OPERATOR: Operators of this level have the rights of USER-level
operators and are also allowed to configure data. They can use any
command groups other than G_1, G_9, G_14, or G_15.
– ADMINISTRATOR: Operators of this level have the rights to run all
commands, but cannot delete default user admin. They can use all
command groups.
– CUSTOM: Operators of this level can be allocated with any command
groups. Command groups that are assigned when the account is created.
The rights can be changed. Different operators of this level have different
operation rights.

Login Password
Login password involves the password definition, initial password setting, and
password change permissions, which are described as follows:
● Password definition: Each operator account is allocated a login password to
ensure system security. An operator must enter the correct user name and
password when logging in to the LMT. The operator can log in to the base
station only after being verified.
● Initial password setting: The login password of admin user is set when the
base station application software is installed. The operator with the
ADMINISTRATOR-level account, and authorized operators with CUSTOM-level
accounts are allowed to set the login password of an external operator
account when creating the account.

The operator with the ADMINISTRATOR-level account, and authorized
operators with CUSTOM-level accounts are allowed to change the login
password of any external operator account.

Operation Time Limit


The definition, principle, and settings of the operation time limit are described as
follows:
● Definition: The operation time limit specifies the time during which a user can
perform operations. The admin user has no operation time limit, that is, the
admin user can perform operations at any time. The operation time limit for
an external operator is specified when the account is created. If no time limit
is set, the user can perform operations at any time.
● Principle: The operation time limit is represented by a combination of the
date, day, and time.
● Settings: Only the admin, operators of the ADMINISTRATOR level, and
authorized operators of the CUSTOM level are allowed to set or change the
operation time limit for an external operator.

1.3.2.2 Managing Operator Accounts

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

1.5.1 Basic Concepts Related to Alarms and Events


Before managing base station alarms and events, you must understand the basic
concepts related to base station alarms and events, including their definitions,
logs, severity, and network management (NM) types.

1.5.1.1 Alarm and Event Categories


This section describes the basic concepts related to alarms and events.

Alarm
An alarm is generated if the hardware is faulty or a major function fails. An alarm
has a higher severity than an event. Based on the status of the faults, alarms can
be classified into active alarms and cleared alarms.
● If a fault is cleared, the status of the alarm changes to clear. This type of
alarm is called a cleared alarm.
● If a fault has not been cleared, the corresponding alarm is an active alarm.
This type of alarm is called an active alarm.
NOTE

● You can search a database for cleared alarms.


● If an alarm is cleared after you switch from the alarm query page to another page, the
information about this alarm is not displayed on the alarm query page when you
switch back to the alarm query page because alarms will be updated and cleared
alarms will not be displayed on the page.

Based on the engineering status of the NE that reported an alarm, the alarm can
be an engineering alarm or a normal alarm.

● If the NE is being installed, tested, upgraded, or expanded or is in the normal


service operation state, the NE is in the engineering state.
● The following are engineering alarms: alarms reported by equipment
(including physical or logical equipment) that has been configured in
engineering state, alarms generated by the peer equipment and associated
with alarms reported by the equipment that has been configured in
engineering state, and cleared alarms corresponding to engineering alarms.

Event
An event notifies users of important information when the system is operating
correctly. Users do not need to handle an event.

1.5.1.2 Alarm Severity


The alarm severity identifies how severe an alarm is. Based on the severity, all
alarms can be categorized into four types: critical, major, minor, and warning.

Table 1-13 describes alarm severities and corresponding handling suggestions.

1.5.1.3 NM Alarm Type


This section describes alarm types from the perspective of the network
management (NM).
Based on NM standards, alarms are categorized as follows:
● Power alarm: alarms related to the power system
● Environment alarm: alarms related to environment of the equipment room
● Signaling alarm: alarms related to service signaling
● Trunk alarm: alarms related to the transport subsystem
● Hardware alarm: alarms related to boards
● Software alarm: alarms related to software
● Running alarm: alarms related to the running of the system
● Communication alarm: alarms related to the communication system
● Quality of service (QoS) alarm: alarms related to QoS
● Integrity violation: an indication that information may have been illegally
modified, inserted or deleted. Integrity violation is a subtype of security
alarms.
● Operational violation: an indication that the provision of the requested service
was not possible due to the unavailability, malfunction or incorrect invocation
of the service. Operation violation is a subtype of security alarms.

● Physical violation: an indication that a physical resource has been violated in a


way that suggests a security attack. Physical violation is a subtype of security
alarms.
● Security violation: an indication that a security attack has been detected by a
security service or mechanism. Security violation is a subtype of security
alarms.
● Time domain violation: an indication that an event has occurred at an
unexpected or prohibited time. Time domain violation is a subtype of security
alarms.
● Processing error: alarms for system processing exceptions other than those
listed above

1.5.1.4 Alarm Flags


Four alarm flags are provided: flag indicating whether an alarm is to be reported
to the alarm box, alarm masking flag, alarm modification flag, and alarm
clearance flag.

Flag Indicating Whether an Alarm Is to Be Reported to the Alarm Box


This flag controls whether an alarm is to be reported to the alarm box. The flag
status is as follows:
● Report
In this status, the LMT instructs the alarm box to generate audible and visual
alarms.
● Not report
In this status, the LMT does not instruct the alarm box to generate audible
and visual alarms when alarms are reported or the alarm status is changed.
NOTE

This flag applies only to fault alarms.

An alarm can be reported to the alarm box only if this flag is set to Report for the
alarm and the alarm severity is greater than or equal to the severity specified for
alarm reporting to the alarm box.

Alarm Masking Flag


This flag controls whether an alarm is to be masked. The flag status is as follows:
● Mask
A board does not report an alarm for which this flag is set to Mask to the
network management system (NMS) or the alarm box. The server does not
record the alarm log.
● Not mask
A board reports an alarm for which this flag is set to Not mask to the NMS
and the alarm box. The server records the alarm log.

1.5.2 Basic Concepts Related to Message Tracing


This section describes the message tracing management functions and the internal
process of message tracing.

Message Tracing Management


Message tracing traces interfaces, signaling links, and UEs. It applies to routine
equipment maintenance and fault location.
The tracing task can only be performed when the LMT is connected to the base
station or the OM channel is established between the MAE and the base station
and when the correct data configuration file is downloaded.
On the LMT, common tracing tasks and RAT-specific tracing tasks can be
performed. The time of traced messages displayed on the LMT is not the system
time of the LMT PC but the time of the base station.
If the message Error returned from NE: Invalid board is displayed when a tracing
task is created during the base station deployment by PnP, run the DSP BRD
command to check whether the board for which the tracing task is created has
been configured. If the board is not configured, run the ADD BRD command to
add the board. Restart the tracing task after the board is configured successfully.

NOTE

● JRE must be installed before you use the tracing function.


● The tracing window is fixed in size and does not change with the web page.
● It is good practice to use the MAE instead of the LMT to trace messages in heavy traffic
scenarios. The LMT cannot accommodate processing large amounts of data and may
fail to create tracing tasks in heavy traffic scenarios.
● If the sequence of the messages corresponding to the collection time is inconsistent
with the actual message sequence, time deviation occurs in the messages reported by
NEs because the time between the processes for processing the messages is not
synchronized.

Internal Process of Message Tracing


The internal process of message tracing involves creating a tracing task on the
LMT and reporting tracing results to the LMT.

1. Creating a tracing task on the LMT


a. After you create a tracing task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary
command to the base station to create the task.
b. The base station allocates an ID to the task and forwards the command
to the tracing management module of a specified board.
c. After receiving the command, the tracing management module records
the parameters for tracing contained in the command in the filter table
and sends messages to the service processing module.
d. The service processing module updates the local filter table based on the
messages from the tracing management module.
2. Reporting tracing results to the LMT
a. After receiving messages from the tracing management module, the
service processing module verifies that the parameters in the local filter
table are updated. Then, it reports the messages meeting filter criteria to
the LMT based on the task IDs contained in the messages.
b. The LMT analyzes the messages and displays tracing results in the
window.

1.5.3 Basic Concepts Related to Real-Time Performance


Monitoring
This section describes the functions and internal process of real-time performance
monitoring.

Functions
A monitoring task is a monitoring instance which consists of monitoring items,
monitoring objects, and monitoring parameters.

Real-time performance monitoring functions display monitoring results in lists and


charts which enable you to monitor the status of services and devices.

You can analyze exceptions based on the monitoring results to maintain devices
and rectify faults.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

NOTE

● To use the monitoring function, you must install the Java runtime environment (JRE)
plug-in.
● The monitoring window is fixed in size and does not change with the web page.
● It is good practice to use the MAE instead of the LMT to monitor performance in heavy
traffic scenarios. The LMT cannot accommodate large amounts of processing data and
may fail to create monitoring tasks in heavy traffic scenarios.
● The timing mechanisms of operating systems experience millisecond-level deviation.
Therefore, the reporting intervals of monitoring tasks are not exactly the same.

Internal Process
Among all real-time performance monitoring processes, the internal process of
CPU usage monitoring is different from that of other real-time performance
monitoring functions.
Internal process of CPU usage monitoring
1. After a CPU usage monitoring task is created on the LMT, the LMT sends a
binary CPU usage query command to the maintenance module of the base
station every other monitoring period.
2. The maintenance module of the base station sends the command to the
maintenance module of a specified board.
3. The board collects related data and then reports the data to the maintenance
module of the base station.
4. The maintenance module of the base station forwards the data to the LMT.
Internal process of other monitoring functions
● Creating a monitoring task
a. After you create a monitoring task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary
command to the base station to create the task.
b. The base station allocates an ID to the task and forwards the command
to the monitoring management module of a specified board.
c. After receiving the command, the monitoring management module
informs the service processing module of the command. Then, the service
processing module starts the performance monitoring task.
● Reporting monitoring results
a. After the performance monitoring task is started, the service processing
module reports monitoring results to the LMT.
b. The LMT parses the monitoring results and displays them in the window.

1.5.4 Concepts Related to Software and Files


This section describes software and file types, and methods of obtaining files.

All the boards on the base station are equipped with the BootROM. The
BootROM refers to the software bound with hardware. It provides basic device
drive function and can be started and upgraded manually.
The BootROM is a re-writable storage medium, which is used to store binary
data, that is, the machine codes.
● Base station software
The base station software is the version software of a base station.
● Cold patch
The base station cold patch is also known as the patch. It can upgrade a
specific board or module to improve functions or to fix some problems.
● Hot patch
The hot patch is also known as the online patch. It supports upgrades without
disrupting the system operation and rectifies some function defects.

File Types
There are different types of files, and operations on the files vary with the types.
● Data configuration file
A data configuration file contains parameter settings for each module of the
base station.
This file is an .xml file. You can upload and download the file.
● Operation log
An operation log file records the information about the maintenance and
operation of the base station.
This file is a text file. You can upload the file.
● Main control log
A main control log file is a collection of logs including the original,
commissioning, or user alarm logs, running logs, call logs, cell logs,
maintenance logs, and operation logs.
This file is a binary file. You can upload the file.
● Board log
A board log file is a collection of logs including the logs of active and standby
CPU breakdown, the detailed breakdown logs, and the DSP memory logs.
This file is a binary file. You can upload the file.
NOTE

Board log files vary with boards because some boards do not have a standby CPU and
other boards do not have a DSP.
● Routine RTWP test log
After a routine RTWP test is started, the system keeps a real-time RTWP log.
This file is a binary file. You can upload the file.
● Device archive file

1.6.6.3 Error Message "This user session already exists" Upon Login to LMT
The interface displays an error message This user session already exists upon
login to LMT. To solve the problem, perform the steps in Procedure.

Context
To enhance system security, the client browser uses Cookie to store the session
information of users who have successfully logged in. Due to the session Cookie
mechanism, the user encounters the following problems when using LMT:
● Problem 1: For the same NE, a user desires to log in to multiple LMTs. After
successfully logging in to the first LMT, the user logs in to the second LMT of
the NE, and the message This user session already exists is displayed. This is
because all browser windows opened by the same user share the same
session under the session sharing mechanism of , Chrome, and Firefox
enabled by default. As a result, when the user attempts to repeatedly log in
to the LMTs of the same NE, the system determines a repeated login of the
same user session.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

● Problem 2: The LMT interface displays the error message This user session
already exists, while the user has not carried out the operation described in
Problem 1. This is because the previous session information remains valid due
to an abnormal exit from LMT. As a result, the LMT determines a repeated
login attempt when the same user tries to log in to the LMT. This problem
arises when the browser automatically recovers from breaking down during
use of the LMT, or when the pop-up LMT window is blocked by the browser
pop-up blocker.
● Problem 3: After you use the browser to log in to the LMT, and then enter the
IP address of the base station into Windows Explorer to open the browser, the
message This user session already exists is displayed. This problem is caused
by the conflict of the browser sessions created in both manners.

Procedure
● For problems 1 and 3, only one LMT can be opened for an NE using the
Chrome or Firefox browser.
● For Problem 2, the following method is used:
a. Close all currently opened browser windows to make the previous session
information invalid.
b. If the pop-up blocker is enabled for the browser, disable it.
c. Restart the browser and log in to LMT.

1.6.6.4 How to Handle Shortcut Key Invalidation


Shortcut keys are defined on the LMT. When logging in to the LMT through a web
page, you may fail to use the corresponding function by pressing a shortcut key. In
this case, the shortcut key becomes invalid. For example, you cannot stop pinging
by pressing Ctrl+Q in the MML Command window. This is because the same
shortcut key is preferentially used by another running program on the PC, which
leads to a shortcut key conflict.

Procedure
Step 1 Check all running programs on the PC. Find the program using the same shortcut
key settings as the LMT.

Step 2 Modify the program shortcut key settings which are the same as those on the LMT
or stop the program when you use the LMT.

1.6.6.8 How to Configure Wireless NIC on a Computer


To connect a computer to a local wireless access point device, ensure that the
computer is configured with a WLAN wireless network interface card (NIC). Before
connecting the computer to a local wireless access point device, configure WLAN
wireless NIC by following the instructions below.

Context
This section uses a laptop configured with a wireless NIC as an example.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway. Set IP address to
an IP address that is in the same network segment as the default maintenance IP
address of the base station, for example, 192.168.1.2. Set Subnet mask to
255.255.255.0. Set Default gateway to 192.168.1.1.
NOTE

● For the purpose of security, the IP address of the wireless NIC must be manually
configured in this step.
● The default maintenance IP address of the base station is 192.168.1.49.
● IP address mentioned in step 5 cannot be set to 192.168.1.49.

Step 2 Check whether a wireless network is found. If not, refresh the page.

Step 3 Choose the wireless network, such as HID_9TAB198910, to connect to.


NOTE

The SSID of the local wireless access point device is in the format of HID_XXXXXXXXXX.

Step 4 If the status of the wireless network is Connected, and the ping 192.168.1.49
command succeeds, the computer successfully connects to the wireless network.

1.7 Common Tasks


This section describes the common tasks in the service management.

1.7.1 Common Tracing Management


This section describes tracing tasks related to common services that are not
specific to any radio access technology (RAT).

1.7.1.1 PTP Trace


This section describes how to trace Precision Time Protocol (PTP) messages to
locate faults on PTP links. Traced messages can be automatically or manually
saved and browsed online or offline.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.

Context
● A maximum of one PTP message tracing task can be created at one time.
● The PTP clock links use the IEEE 1588 V2 protocol.
NOTE

IEEE 1588 V2 is a protocol of precise clock synchronization defined by IEEE. The full name
is "A Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control
Systems", which is also referred to as PTPv2.
● IEEE 1588 V2 applies to the scenario where all nodes on a distributed network
must be precisely synchronized in terms of reference clocks. It provides a
mechanism for achieving time synchronization among all nodes using the
same reference clock.
● IEEE 1588 V2 transmits timestamps by means of message exchange to
achieve clock synchronization. If IEEE 1588 V2 does not function properly, PTP
message tracing can be started to view IEEE 1588 V2 messages.
● If all IEEE 1588 V2 messages are traced, check the interval at which packets
are transmitted on the clock link. If packets are transmitted at small intervals,
there are a large number of messages. Therefore, the tracing affects the
system performance. You are advised not to start multiple trace tasks at the
same time.

Procedure
Step 1 In the LMT main window, click the Trace tab. The Trace window is displayed.

Step 2 In Trace Navigation Tree, choose Trace > Common Services. Double-click PTP
Trace.

The PTP Trace dialog box is displayed.

Step 3 Set related parameters. For details about parameter descriptions, see the following

1.7.1.2 MAC Trace


This section describes how to trace Media Access Control (MAC) layer messages to
locate the problems of MAC layer protocol channels.

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.

Context

NOTICE

This tracing task is used to trace uplink and downlink service data of a base
station. This type of tracing involves a large amount of data and has a great
impact on the uplink and downlink service forwarding performance of NEs. You
are advised to use this type of tracing under the assistance of Huawei technical
support.

● A maximum of one MAC message tracing task can be created at one time.
● The protocol type, source MAC address, destination MAC address, VLAN tag,
VLAN ID, and VLAN priority are used for identifying messages at the MAC
layer.
● To trace messages more specific to a fault, you can choose one or more items
from the protocol type, source MAC address, destination MAC address, VLAN
tag, VLAN ID, and VLAN priority to specify the scope of messages to be
traced.
● Currently, MAC message tracing tasks can parse only Ethernet II packets.
Packets complying with the following protocols can be captured: IP, ARP,
RARP, LLDP, ETHOAM, OAM3AH, 802.1x, IPv6, and SYNCETH. For details
about how to choose the protocol type, contact Huawei technical support.

● The following operations cannot be started simultaneously on one board:


MAC trace, IP trace, IPv6 trace, or remote loopback that is either applied to all
IP addresses or a specified address.
● The boards do not support the IP-layer extended filtering function of MAC
tracing. Specifically, if MAC tracing with Frame Type set to IP or IPv6 is to be
enabled for these boards, Extend Switch cannot be set to ON. Otherwise,
MAC tracing fails to be started.
● If the message Error returned from NE: Invalid board is displayed when a
tracing task is created during the base station deployment by PnP, run the
DSP BRD command to check whether the board for which the tracing task is
created has been configured. If the board is not configured, run the ADD BRD
command to add the board. Restart the tracing task after the board is
configured successfully.
● In secure networking scenarios, packets are encrypted and decrypted at the IP
layer. The payload in the MAC packet is encrypted. Therefore, IP packets
cannot be parsed at the MAC layer. In this case, the search criteria for the IP
layer is invalid for MAC message tracing.
● In secure networking scenarios, TCP packets cannot be identified. As a result,
TCP packets cannot be filtered out during MAC message tracing, leading to
packet capture loops. Therefore, AH/ESP encrypted packets cannot be
captured when MAC tracing is initiated remotely on the MAE. In this scenario,
enable remote IP message tracing or local MAC message tracing on the LMT.
Secure networking scenarios are as follows:
– The OMCH is configured with IPsec protection.
– When TRANSCFGMODE in GTRANSPARA is set to OLD, the IPSECBIND
MO takes effect on a board. You can run the LST IPSECBIND command
to check whether the IPSECBIND MO takes effect.
– When TRANSCFGMODE in GTRANSPARA is set to NEW, the
IPSECBINDITF MO takes effect on a board. You can run the LST
IPSECBINDITF command to check whether the IPSECBINDITF MO takes
effect.
● In MAC tracing, MLDv2 protocol packets cannot be obtained. To capture such
packets, see 1.7.1.26 ICMPv6 Protocol Trace.
● The value of Maximum Frame Length is not limited for capturing of IPv6
frame packets.

Procedure
Step 1 In the LMT main window, click the Trace tab. The Trace window is displayed.
Step 2 In Trace Navigation Tree, choose Trace > Common Services. Double-click MAC
Trace.
The MAC Trace dialog box is displayed.
Step 3 Set related parameters. For details about parameter descriptions, see Table 1-22.

NOTICE

This tracing task is used to trace uplink and downlink service data of a base
station. This type of tracing involves a large amount of data and has a great
impact on the uplink and downlink service forwarding performance of NEs. You
are advised to use this type of tracing under the assistance of Huawei technical
support.

● A maximum of one IP layer protocol tracing task can be created at one time.
● The local IP address, peer IP address, protocol type, IP DSCP, local port
number, and peer port number are used for identifying packets at the IP layer.
● You can specify the protocol type or source/destination port No. to limit the
scope of packet capture.
● Either the protocol type or port No. must be specified for locating
transmission problems. Otherwise, the packet capture is less useful for
problem location.
● An IP layer protocol message tracing task cannot trace TCP packets connected
to the LMT itself in the uplink.
● The following operations cannot be started simultaneously on one board:
MAC trace, IP trace, and remote loopback that is either applied to all IP
addresses or a specified address.

● If the message Error returned from NE: Invalid board is displayed when a
tracing task is created during the base station deployment by PnP, run the
DSP BRD command to check whether the board for which the tracing task is
created has been configured. If the board is not configured, run the ADD BRD
command to add the board. Restart the tracing task after the board is
configured successfully.
● In IPv4-over-IPv6 IPsec and IPv6-over-IPv4 IPsec encryption scenarios,
ciphertext cannot be traced by IP layer protocol message tracing tasks and
IPv6 protocol message tracing tasks. To capture such packets, see 1.7.1.2 MAC
Trace.
● 1588v2 packets in the sending direction cannot be traced in IP layer and IPv6
protocol tracing. If 1588v2 packets in the sending direction need to be traced,
you can capture them in MAC or PTP tracing.

1.7.1.25 IPv6 Protocol Trace


This section describes how to trace IPv6 protocol messages to locate the problems
on IPv6 protocol channels. Traced messages can be automatically or manually
saved. You can browse the traced messages online or offline.

Prerequisites
● This trace function is available when the environment mode is multi-mode,
LTE, or NR.
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.

Context

NOTICE

This tracing task is used to trace uplink and downlink service data of a base
station. This type of tracing involves a large amount of data and has a great
impact on the uplink and downlink service forwarding performance of NEs. You
are advised to use this type of tracing under the assistance of Huawei technical
support.

● A maximum of one IPv6 protocol message tracing task can be created at one
time.
● The local IPv6 address, peer IPv6 address, protocol type, IP DSCP, local prefix
length, and peer prefix length are used for identifying packets at the IPv6
layer.
● You can specify the protocol type or source/destination port No. to limit the
scope of packet capture.
● Either the protocol type or port No. must be specified for locating
transmission problems. Otherwise, the packet capture is less useful for
problem location.
● An IPv6 protocol message tracing task cannot trace TCP packets connected to
the LMT itself in the uplink.
● The following operations cannot be started simultaneously on one board:
MAC trace, IPv6 trace, and remote loopback that is either applied to all IP
addresses or a specified address.
● If the message Error returned from NE: Invalid board is displayed when a
tracing task is created during the base station deployment by PnP, run the
DSP BRD command to check whether the board for which the tracing task is
created has been configured. If the board is not configured, run the ADD BRD
command to add the board. Restart the tracing task after the board is
configured successfully.
● In IPv6 protocol message tracing, packets sent to the multicast address and
local link address cannot be obtained. To capture such packets, see 1.7.1.2
MAC Trace.
● In IPv4-over-IPv6 IPsec and IPv6-over-IPv4 IPsec encryption scenarios,
ciphertext cannot be traced by IP layer protocol message tracing tasks and

IPv6 protocol message tracing tasks. To capture such packets, see 1.7.1.2 MAC
Trace.
● In IPv6 protocol message tracing, packets are captured before IP layer
fragmentation and before IP layer reassembly.
● 1588v2 packets in the sending direction cannot be traced in IP layer and IPv6
protocol tracing. If 1588v2 packets in the sending direction need to be traced,
you can capture them in MAC or PTP tracing.
● In IPsec scenarios, the packet capture granularity can be limited only based on
plaintext rules.

1.7.2.2 Transport Link Traffic Monitoring


This section describes how to monitor the transport link traffic. You can monitor
the traffic of each data flow from or to the base station to obtain information
about the bandwidth usage by each service.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.

Context
● A maximum of eight transport link traffic monitoring tasks can be started
simultaneously on a base station.
● If Protocol Type is set to IP, only one monitoring task can be started on a
link.
● If Protocol Type is set to ATM, only one monitoring task can be started on a
link with the same unit. ATM related services are specific to UMTS.
● In an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) link traffic monitoring task, a
maximum of six PVCs can be started for the monitoring. This task is specific
to UMTS.
● An IP link traffic monitoring task can cover one maintenance channel (TCP
link), two SCTP links, three IP paths, three GPM links, and four TWAMP
SENDER links.

Procedure
Step 1 In the LMT main window, click Monitor.

Step 2 In Monitor Navigation Tree, choose Monitor > Common Monitoring. Double-
click Transport Link Traffic Monitoring.

The Transport Link Traffic Monitoring dialog box is displayed.

Step 3 Set related parameters. For details about parameter descriptions, see Table 1-74.

● The output power of a base station is related to the configuration and services.
● When the RF module reports an invalid value for the output power, N/A is displayed on
the List tab page and the Chart tab page is not displayed.
● For the NR mode, the monitoring result "Output power of Tx Freq[n]" is not reported.
● For the LTE mode, the monitoring result "Output power of Tx Freq[n]" is not reported
when the number of RX channels of an RF module is greater than 8.
● When LTE FDD and NR Flash Dynamic Spectrum Sharing is enabled, the monitoring
result "Output power of Tx Freq[n]" is not reported.

pRRU Single-carrier: 13 Single-carrier: 23

Dual-carrier: 10 Dual-carrier: 20

● When the base station is not carrying services, the difference between the
output power and pilot power of a WRFU, RRU or pRRU is 3 dBm. If the
output power is much lower than the pilot power, the output power is
abnormal.

1.7.2.13 Rx Frequency Scanning


This section describes how to perform Rx frequency scanning. Rx frequency
scanning helps check the electromagnetic environment around a base station and
detects internal interference in the base station. The RRU or WRFU scans its
frequency, calculates the received signal strength, and reports the calculation
result. You are advised to perform the scan before configuring the cell.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.
● The corresponding board has been blocked before an uplink frequency scan
task starts.

Context
● This function is specific to UMTS and LTE FDD.
● AAUs do not support this function.
● The following are reference results of Rx frequency scanning:
– If the antenna is disconnected and the scan result shows a sharp increase
greater than –108 dBm, there is internal interference in the base station.
– There is external interference to the base station if the scan result shows
a sharp increase greater than –105 dBm under the following conditions:
(1) The antenna is connected and the tower-mounted amplifier (TMA) is
turned on. (2) The radio channel attenuation has been properly set to
compensate for TMA gains and feeder loss.
– The increase varies with interference characteristics:

▪ If the increase appears in the shape of a triangle or trapezoid, the


monophony interference occurs and the peak indicates the center
frequency of the interference.

▪ If the increase appears in the shape of a rectangle or overlaps with a


rectangle, wideband interference occurs and the center of the
rectangle indicates the interfering frequency.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.

Context
● This task is used to locate the connection fault between the RRU/RFU and the
antenna in the following scenarios:
– A voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) alarm is generated. In this
situation, you can perform this task on a specified transmit channel of
the RRU or RFU that reported the alarm on the local or remote
maintenance terminal. This task cannot be created on the MAE.
– In routine maintenance, a VSWR exception is detected on the local or
remote maintenance terminal. In this situation, you can perform this task
to further locate the fault. The MAE does not support this task.
● The test frequency used by the base station varies as follows:
– If you have specified a test frequency, the base station chooses this
frequency to perform the intermodulation detection.
– If you have not specified any test frequency, the base station chooses a
test frequency that is supported by its RF boards from the predefined
authorized downlink frequency band (which can be added using the ADD
AUTHDLFREQRANGE command).
– If no test frequency or authorized downlink frequency band is specified,
the base station chooses a test frequency based only on the capability of
its RF boards. In this case, UEs may transmit power outside the
authorized downlink frequency band.
● The following modules do not support DTF tests: AAU, LampSite pRRU, MRFU
V1, MRFU V2, MRFUd, MRFUe, WRFUd, WRFUe, LRFU, WRFU, DRFU, GRFU,

1.7.2.15 FFT Frequency Scanning


This section describes how to check the spectrum status. You can check
interference in the frequency and time domains by analyzing the sampled
spectrum and power distribution.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.

Context
● Before performing FFT frequency scan on a multi-band RF module, query the

1.7.2.16 Board RTWP


This section describes how to measure the uplink received total wideband power
(RTWP) of an RX channel on an RF module. The monitoring of board RTWP does
not affect services.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.

Context
● The measured board-level RTWP is related to the effective bandwidth of the
carrier, noise factor of the RF module, and service load. For an unloaded cell,
the formula for estimating the RTWP is as follows: -174 + 10 x lg(Bandwidth)
+ NF.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

NOTE

● Bandwidth indicates the effective bandwidth of the carrier in the unit of Hz. NF is
the noise factor of the RF module in the unit of dB.
● For an unloaded cell, assume that the noise factor of the RF module is 5 dB.
● If the carrier is an LTE FDD 10 MHz carrier, the RTWP is typically about -99
dBm.
● If the carrier is an LTE TDD 20 MHz carrier, the RTWP is typically about -96
dBm.
● If the carrier is an NR TDD 100 MHz carrier, the RTWP is typically about -89
dBm.
● 3GPP protocols define the RTWP measurement precision as +/-4 dB.
● A normal curve is displayed if the reported board-level RTWP is valid. The
vertical axis shows the measurement value and the unit is 0.1 dBm.
● If no board-level RTWP is reported, the RF module may be disconnected or
cannot be detected, or the RF channels are faulty. In this case, locate and
rectify the problem.
● The board-level RTWP of up to five RF modules can be measured
simultaneously.
● The mmWave RF module does not support board-level RTWP measurement.

1.7.2.19 DTP Test


This task is performed to locate the PIM fault point. When the intermodulation
power is greater than or equal to –95 dBm, you can use this task to check the
distance between the PIM fault point and the cabinet-top port of the module.
One-by-one detection is performed based on the peak value. This function is used
for helping locate PIM faults and is currently not provided for customers.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.
● The antenna system VSWR has a great impact on the PIM detection result. If
the antenna channel VSWR is abnormal, the PIM detection result is unreliable.
Therefore, when you locate PIM faults in an antenna system, locate the VSWR
problem first.
● If an RF module reports a major alarm, the detection result is unreliable. In
this case, do not start the detection.
● This function can be used when a feeder is connected to the load. The
detection cannot be performed when the feeder is too short.
● When the antenna system is equipped with external devices, such as a
combiner, filter, or tower-mounted amplifier (TMA), if the fault point is
located between the RRU and the external device, the detection result is
inaccurate. In this scenario, do not use this function.
● Bandwidths of external devices such as external filter affect scanning
bandwidth. Therefore, the detection result is inaccurate.
● If there are PIM reflection sources adjacent to the antenna system, the
detection result is inaccurate.
● If there is serious external interference, the detection result is inaccurate.
● If the detected fault point is adjacent to the DIN connector, the detection
result is inaccurate.

Context
● Only some RRUs support this function. The intermodulation power of an RRU,
power capability of a single channel, and instantaneous bandwidth
determines whether the RRU supports this function. An RRU supports this
function if it meets all of the following requirements: The 3-order or 5-order
PIM interference exists. The 3-order intermodulation power is greater than –

User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

90 dBm or the 5-order intermodulation power is greater than –95 dBm. The
power of a single channel is greater than 40 W. The intermodulation scanning
bandwidth is greater than 10 MHz.
● When the antenna system experiences a PIM fault, users can locate the fault
point based on the DTP test results, which eliminates the need of repeated
tower climbing for fault point location and therefore reduces the maintenance
cost.

Procedure
Step 1 In the LMT main window, click Monitor.

Step 2 In Monitor Navigation Tree, choose Monitor > Common Monitoring. Double-
click DTP Test.

The DTP Test dialog box is displayed.

Step 3 Set related parameters. For details about parameter descriptions, see Table 1-115.

Frequency is 65535, the system considers that the
frequency range is not specified by the user and the
test will be performed using the default frequencies of
the RF module.

Stop Frequency(0.1 Higher frequency specified by a user for a test. By


MHz) default, it is set to 65535. If Start Frequency is 0 and
Stop Frequency is 65535, the system considers that
the frequency range is not specified by the user and the

1.7.3 Common BTS Maintenance


This section describes how to manage software and files and use the IP transfer
self-test function. Managing software and files involves upgrading the software
and data configuration file using the FTP server.

1.7.3.1 Software Management


To add functions or correct defects during base station operation, you may need to
upgrade software, install license files, or activate data configuration files.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The FTP server has been configured.
● The FTP server is running properly. The IP address of the FTP server is on the
same network segment as the IP address of the base station, and the FTP
server is properly connected to the base station.
● There is no firewall between the FTP server and the base station.
● The user of the FTP server has the permission to read files in specified paths.

Context
The base station software consists of the version software, license file, and data
configuration file.

NOTICE

If the base station restarts, all services carried on the base station are interrupted.

● Downloading the data configuration file does not cause the base station to
reset. The updated configuration data automatically takes effect next time
the base station resets.
● Installing the license file does not cause the base station to reset. The license
file takes effect immediately after the installation.
● After the version software is successfully activated, the base station
automatically resets.

NOTE

● In special scenarios such as base station deployment or upgrade, select the Download
version software check box and set Delay Download Flag to Yes (Delay download) to
reduce the time required. In delay download mode, only the minimum LMT package is
downloaded, and the complete LMT package can be automatically downloaded about four
hours later. This mode has no impact on the base station software. If the functions of the
complete LMT package are required before the complete package is automatically
downloaded, you can run the SPL SOFTWARE command to download the complete package
to the base station.
● If the Install license check box is selected and Force flag is set to Yes, the license file is
forcibly installed despite of any errors. If Force flag is set to No, error information is
displayed during the license file installation. For details, see Troubleshooting in License
Management Feature Parameter Description of the corresponding mode. It is good practice
to set Force flag to No.
● File Name and Function Type must be specified for a license to be installed. If a license is
already installed for a function type, installing a license again causes the current license of
the function type to be overridden. Before installing the license, ensure that the FTP server
has been configured.

3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT
User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

Context
● Downloading the extra configuration file requires that the FTP server be used
to download files to the base station. Therefore, this operation is available
only when you log in to the base station using the LMT rather than the MAE
proxy.
● The extra configuration files downloaded using the LMT can be in plaintext or
encrypted format. If the extra configuration files are encrypted, enter the
encryption password to download them.
● If the configuration script contains commands that become effective only
through reset, manually reset the related base station APP.
NOTE

● After exporting .xml incremental scripts of the base stations (excluding GBTSs) from the
MAE-Deployment and before you activate the scripts, authenticate operators based on the
content of the scripts (domain and operation type) by observing the following principles:
Authenticate the operators based on the domain (equipment, transmission, or wireless in
each RAT) to which the object belongs and the collection of operation types (addition,
deletion, or modification) of all objects in domains in the scripts. Only users with related
permissions can execute the scripts. Otherwise, the system prompts an authentication
failure.
● The authentication item of incremental .xml scripts is independent from MML commands
and is a combination of the domain to which the object belongs and the operation type of
the object. The authentication item name is in a format of "XML"+"operation type"+"domain
name"+"MO", for example, "XML Add Equipment MO". Similar to the binding authorization
of MML commands, you can perform the following to bind the authentication item with the
operator on the WebLMT:
1. Customize a group command by running the ADD CCG command. By default, the G_1
command group of the NE contains all authentication items.
2. Add an operator by running the ADD OP command. Set a command group for the
operator and then select the customized command group created in the previous step.

1.8.3.8 Maintaining the GSM Cell


Before preliminarily accepting RF counters, set up test cells and TRXs and set cell
parameters by running MML commands.

Prerequisites
You have logged in to the Web LMT, set up a test cell, and set cell parameters by
running MML commands.

Context
The GSM cell maintenance is conducted in compliance with the 3GPP TS51.021
protocol and applies to preliminary RF counter acceptance in the initial phase of
BTS construction.
Before performing a cell maintenance test, read the following precautions:
● The cell maintenance test does not provide service functions or other
maintenance and test functions. Cells and TRXs in the cell maintenance test
are used only for intermodulation test.
● Before performing the cell maintenance test, ensure that the transmission
between the BTS and BSC is not set up, and the BTS does not have logical
configurations. In this case, the BTS cannot provide services, and cell
maintenance functions are not supported.
● To ensure that the functions of the BTS are normal, activate the BTS using the
BSC after the cell maintenance test is complete.
NOTE

For details about how to set up a compatible testing environment and how to use the
related devices, see the RF testing guides.

Prompt information is displayed in the right lower area.

Procedure
Step 1 In the LMT main window, click Device Maintenance.

Step 3 Right-click, choose Logical Site > Create Logical Cell. The Test Flow Name
dialog box is displayed.

Step 4 Specify Logical Cell ID, Local Cell ID, and BSIC.

Step 5 Click OK. In the displayed Input dialog box, specify the logical cell name.
NOTE

By default, the cell name is consistent with the value of Local Cell ID. For example, if the
local cell ID is set to 0, the default cell name is Logical Cell 0. Do not modify the name.
The name is locally saved and becomes the default name after the node is updated.

Step 6 Right-click, choose Logical Cell > Create Logical Trx. The Test Flow Name dialog
box is displayed.

Step 7 Specify Logical Trx ID, TRX Group ID, Power Type(0.1dBm), Static Power Class,
Power trimming value(0.1db), Frequency Hop Mode, Carrier Frequency,
Frequency set from 1 to 64, and Channel Type, and click OK.
NOTE

By default, the logical TRX name must be consistent with Logical Trx ID. For example, if
the logical TRX ID is set to 0, the default TRX name is Logical TRX 0. Do not modify the
name. The name is locally saved and becomes the default name after the node is updated.

Step 8 When Frequency Hop Mode is set to Not hopping, specify Carrier Frequency.
When Frequency Hop Mode is set to Radio Frequency Hopping, specify
Frequency set from 1 to 64. (Separate frequencies with commas.)

Step 9 Start the automatic import function, an independent function, as follows:

Click Import. In the displayed Open dialog box, select the file to be loaded and
click Open. The system automatically parses cell and TRX information in the file
and creates cells and TRXs one by one.
NOTE

Cell and TRX creation fails if the information returned from NEs or the parameter setting
contains incorrect information. In this case, the system automatically deletes all created cells
and TRXs. Users must ensure that all the following conditions are met when using this function:
● The file being loaded is the latest.
● All cells in the file exist on the live network.
● Users have never modified the file.

Step 10 Notice the following information when using this guide:


● The scripts exported using the MAE-Deployment in .csv format can be
configured on logical TRXs of the BTS on the WebLMT.
NOTE

The scripts cannot be imported when the WebLMT is not in RFTEST mode.
The procedure of data addition and deletion can be simplified. Delete all the established
TRXs before the import, then import all the configured TRXs in the script.
● File verification
The file verification checks whether the data configuration exported using the
MAE-Deployment is complete and correct. Only the completeness is verified,
not the content.

User Guide 1 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station LMT User Guide

NOTE

There are no fixed relationships between data columns in the script. Data can be queried
by names.
Data of multiple BTSs can be exported to one script file or data of each BTS can be
exported to respective script file. However, the data of one BTS must be exported to the
same script.
When reading the exported logical TRX configuration scripts, the FH mode of
a cell changes into RF HP, and frequencies 1-64 need to be obtained:
– Obtain the FH index of channel 0 configured for the TRX.
– Obtain the frequency sets in the FH group of the BTS.
● Data import
NOTE

– Before importing the data, simply verify the format and content of the file to be
imported to avoid importing an incorrect file.
– The file to be imported supports both Chinese and English characters.
– Identify the data of the BTS using the script.
Check whether the BTS name in the script and GBTS name on the WebLMT (LST
GBTSFUNCTION:GBTSFUNCTIONNAME) are consistent to verify if the data is the data
of this BTS.
● Creation
– Query all the objects of local cell in a file and create them.
– Query all logical TRXs in a file and create them.
– During the creation, stop creating and delete the created cell and TRXs if
the creation fails.
– Parameters of the created cell and TRXs must be consistent with those in
the file.

during the troubleshooting. Therefore, it provides the pseudonymous data
processing method.
● You are obligated to take considerable measures in compliance with the laws
of the countries concerned to ensure that personal data is fully protected. For
example, you can enable user identity pseudonymization switch and delete
the tracing files after the problems are handled.
● When entering IMSI ID, check whether IMSI data to be entered must be
pseudonymous by running the LST USERIDANONSWITCH command to query
the status of the User Identity Ppseudonymization switch.
– In the command output, if User Identity Pseudonymization Switch is
ON, a pseudonymous IMSI needs to be entered in IMSI ID.

Prerequisites
● You have logged in to the LMT using an account with the required operation
rights.
● The JRE plug-in has been installed.

Context
● Starting an offline MERC FFT frequency scan on an RF unit shared by all
modes of a multimode base station interrupts services of all modes.
● An offline FFT frequency scan automatically deactivates cells or carriers.
● High-resolution online frequency scanning scans cell frequencies in current
use for interference, including a small number of frequency sidebands.
Broadband online frequency scanning scans a continuous frequency spectrum
within a certain range, including all frequencies in current use and the
frequency spectrum between the frequencies. Broadband offline frequency
scanning scans the entire frequency spectrum that an RF can work on.
● Before performing MERC FFT frequency scan on an RF module, query the
frequency band range supported by this RF module in a specified mode by
referring to the corresponding "technical specifications" documents. Then, run
the DSP RXBRANCH command to query the band number mapping the
supported frequency band range and perform MERC FFT frequency scan
based on the band number.
