Configuration file – see section 6.5.1.3 – this need not be set up unless and
until you wish to use a configuration file
Options – see section 6.5.1.4 – these usually do not need to
be set up as the
default values are usually adequate.
6.4.5 Creating a BTS Database Entry
BTS Installer will not operate on any nanoBTS that it doesn’t know about; in order to
do anything to a nanoBTS it must have a BTS Database entry for that nanoBTS (see
section 6.3.1 and section 6.5.4.2).
A BTS Data
base entry can be created by any of the following methods as desired:
create a new blank BTS Database entry – see section 6.5.4.2.2
finding a nanoBTS on the local area network – see section 6.5.4.2.1
load a configuration file – see section 6.5.1.3
6.4.6 Assigning an IP address
For most operations (other than when operating via a Primary OML Proxy) the
nanoBTS must have an IP address assigned, and BTS Installer must know the IP
address.
If the nanoBTS on which you wish to operate already has an IP address:
ensure that the BTS Database entry for that nanoBTS has the correct IP
address; if not use the Edit button to fill in the IP address on the BTS tab of the
BTS Configuration dialog box.
If the nanoBTS on which you wish to operate does not already have an IP address
then you may use BTS Installer’s built-in DHCP server to assign one:
consult the network administrator for the network on which the nanoBTS is
installed and ask for an IP address that can be used for the nanoBTS
use the Edit button to fill in this IP address on the BTS tab of the BTS
Configuration dialog box
go to the DHCP tab on the same dialog box, (and if not already done) tick the
Enable DHCP Configuration check box, and enter the correct Subnet Mask
(and Router address, if needed)
ensure that the DHCP server is running
wait until the DHCP server assigns the address to the nanoBTS.
For more information about editing the nanoBTS’ attributes using the BTS
Configuration dialog box see section
6.7. For more information about the DHCP
server, particularly for conditions th
at must be satisfied before it will work and assign
an IP address to a nanoBTS, see section 6.6.
6.4.7 Setting desired nanoBTS attributes
For many, but not all, operations it is necessary to specify some attributes that you
wish to be configured on the nanoBTS.
