Overview of Packet BTS Files
Software Release 16.0 and earlier releases contained the Configuration
File named CDF for each BTS and CBSC that is used by LMF. In
Software Release 16.1 for Packet BTS Platforms, for BTSs with GLI3
Booting in Packet Binary Mode, the CDF is replaced by two new
Configuration Files called Network Element Configuration Base
(NECB) and Network Element Change Journal (NECJ).
The NECB contains the Baseline Configuration and is analogous to the
CDF, while the NECJ contains all the changes made to the configuration
since the last time the NECB was regenerated. Once the NECJ gets to
80% of its maximum size, the NECB is regenerated and all the updates
are rolled into it.
These files play much broader and vital role than previous CDF Files.
GLI3 Booting in Circuit Binaries works similar to R16.0.
A few LMF related important facts about these files are listed below.
S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in XML Format.
S NECB contains all the up-to-date Static Configuration Information,
and NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) that
are not updated in the NECB.
S Both files can be viewed in any XML Viewer (most easily available is
Internet Explorer V5.0 and higher). They can also be viewed by any
other word processor, but the XML Tags will not be hidden from
view.
S These files are created by the OMC–R from the MIB as per BTS
Provisioning.
S These files are regenerated for each Software Release Upgrade on the
system for each BTS.
S These files reside on both the OMC–R and Packet Backhaul GLI3
(unlike CDF) and are periodically synchronized between them.
S Both NECB and NECJ Files contain a “SoftwareVersion” Field in
their Header Section identifying the System Release Version of these
files.
S Instead of the bts#.CDF File, the Packet LMF uses a
bts#.XML File, that is a copy of the NECB.XML File.
S The Packet GLI3 needs these files for Site Initialization.
S The scope of the NECB File has grown much broader than that of the
CDF File and has much more BTS–centric information.
The use of generic versions of the NECB and NECJ Files
should be strictly avoided in order to preserve the correct
Site Initialization.
