The BTS start-up procedure has been optimised to shorten the boot-up time. No
time-consuming tests are done during the BTS start-up, which contributes to rapid
deployment of the BTS and shorter breaks in service after power failures.
Alarms generated by the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station are radically
reduced by advanced diagnostics and alarm management. Only the unit level and
BTS level alarms are sent to the BSC. Correlation rules and fault diagnostic
procedures ensure that the appropriate recovery procedure is activated
automatically. The fault diagnostics make it possible to locate a fault to a specific
unit of the BTS or to a specific part of the BTS system.
5.2 Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager software
Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager is primarily used to commission the BTS and
carry out maintenance tasks locally. BTS sectoring and TRX numbering can be
read from the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager’s display. During normal operation
the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is managed remotely from the OSS.
Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager provides a graphical user interface, running in
Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 environments. The Nokia
MetroSite BTS Manager provides a commissioning wizard software to ease the
process of BTS commissioning. Instructions on how to use the Nokia MetroSite
BTS Manager are given in a context-sensitive on-line Help.
The system requirements for the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager are detailed in
Table 27.
