6.9 Using BTS Installer via a proxy
In some network configurations, BTS Installer is not on the same network as the
nanoBTSs and is unable to access them directly.
There are two optional system components called the Primary OML Proxy and
Secondary OML Proxy that may be run on the BSC platform, and in appropriate
network configurations these will forward requests from BTS Installer to the nanoBTSs
and route replies from the nanoBTSs to BTS Installer.
BTS Installer must be told to run in proxy mode, and must be told where the proxy is.
This information is supplied in command line parameters when BTS Installer is started,
and these parameters are supplied automatically whenever BTS Installer is started
from Configuration Manager.
BTS Installer indicates whether or not it is running in proxy mode at the bottom of its
main window:
6.9.1 The Two Types of Proxy
The Primary OML Proxy takes messages from BTS Installer and sends them down the
Primary OML connection that the nanoBTS already has with the BSC.
BTS Installer identifies the nanoBTS to the Primary OML Proxy by quoting its Unit ID.
The Secondary OML Proxy takes messages from BTS Installer and sets up a new,
separate connection from the proxy to the nanoBTS’ secondary OML port.
BTS Installer identifies the nanoBTS to the Secondary OML Proxy by quoting its IP
address.
There are various restrictions of BTS Installer functionality that apply depending on the
type of proxy used. The following restrictions apply to both proxy types:
• BTS Installer’s Find command will only find nanoBTS that are on the same
network as BTS Installer, so in a network configuration where a BTS Installer
Proxy is needed it is unlikely that the Find command will find any of the desired
nanoBTS.
• BTS Installer’s DHCP server will only provide a service to nanoBTS on the
same network as BTS Installer (unless intervening router(s) are running
BOOTP Relay Agents as necessary). This means that in a network
configuration where a BTS Installer Proxy is needed it is unlikely that BTS
Installer’s DHCP server will be able to provide a service to the nanoBTS, and
their IP configurations will need to be set by other means.
