Direct connection or proxy mode is indicated to the user in the status bar at the bottom
of the user interface. A later section explains how to start BTS Installer in proxy mode,
and lists the limitations of BTS Installer whilst in proxy mode.
6.3.4 The Configuration File
BTS Installer can be given the information it needs
in a configuration file, or
via the graphical user interface, or
via some combination of both.
The configuration file is a text file which can be created with any text editor and which
contains definitions for:
default values for BTS attributes
the nanoBTSs to be operated on
attributes to be set for the BTSs
the DHCP server’s IP address pool.
It is not necessary to create a configuration file for most uses of BTS Installer, as
almost all necessary information can be entered via the graphical user interface. The
only exception is that a BTS Database entry for the “Unknown BTS” cannot be entered
via the GUI and can only be entered via the configuration file.
At any point it is possible to save the current state of the BTS Database and IP
address pool to a configuration file; this can be done even if no configuration file has
been loaded and all data has been entered via the GUI. This allows you to
enter configuration information via the GUI
save this to a new configuration file
load the configuration file in a later run of BTS Installer.
In other words, you can use BTS Installer itself to create a configuration file for later
use, instead of using a text editor.
Section 6.10 gives details of the syntax of the configuration file.
