This chapter describes the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software (SW)
and the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager software.
Generally, the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotely from
the OSS via the BSC. The management tasks carried out on site are kept to a
minimum. On site, the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is used for BTS
management.
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is delivered to the customer with the
SW pre-installed in order to support rapid deployment of the BTS. The Nokia
MetroSite EDGE Base Station SW is to a large extent based on the SW for the
field-proven Nokia Talk family of base stations and is enhanced with new and
improved features. The new, highly embedded Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base
Station SW makes it possible to upgrade the BTS on-line without interrupting the
BTS operation. Also, the number of alarms sent from the BTS to the BSC is
reduced considerably due to the advanced BTS diagnostics system.
The Nokia OSS incorporates a full range of functions from fault, performance,
and configuration management to transmission and security management and
troubleshooting. For more information, refer to Nokia OSS documentation.
The NMS/2000 SW T13 and BSC SW S10 releases fully support the Nokia
MetroSite EDGE Base Station.
5.1 Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station software
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can store two SW packages in its non-
volatile memory. The SW can be loaded to the BTS either locally from the Nokia
MetroSite BTS Manager or remotely from the BSC or the NMS/2000. The SW
packages are loaded to the non-volatile memory of each TRX.
The BSC updates the BTS SW packages if they are different from the BSC SW.
After downloading, new SW is activated by reset and the initialisation takes
approximately one minute. The BTS and its units can be reset separately for
testing purposes, locally with the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager and remotely
from the BSC or the NMS/2000.
