6.2 Capabilities
BTS Installer contains a collection of related tools that enable you to:
Perform initial installation and manual configuration of nanoBTSs.
Upgrade and reconfigure nanoBTSs.
Perform Network Listen tests.
These include all the operations necessary to install and configure a nanoBTS to the
stage where it will connect correctly to a BSC, from which point its telecommunications
behaviour can be configured using management software.
Before a nanoBTS can connect to a BSC:
It must have an IP address, and other IP configuration parameters must be set.
It must have a Unit ID, as this is what it uses to identify itself to the BSC.
It must have various non-volatile attributes configured; as a minimum it must
know where to find the BSC before it can connect to it.
At various times, either during initial installation of a nanoBTS or after it has already
been operational for a while, it may be necessary to:
Change the nanoBTS’ IP configuration, Unit ID or non-volatile attributes.
Download a new version of software to the nanoBTS.
Perform various diagnostic operations on the nanoBTS, such as querying its
current configuration.
A nanoBTS can optionally communicate with the BSC via a secure SSL link. To
configure it to do so it is necessary to:
Download a certificate to the nanoBTS
