2.3 System Manager Software
Management is primarily intended to be performed using existing Operation Support
System (OSS) resources within the MNO infrastructure. However, there are also local
and remote management capabilities provided by the System Manager software
package. System Manager is a web-based graphical management system, which is
accessible via an IP-based connection.
System Manager provides Operations personnel with remote access and control,
including configuration, alarm monitoring, triage/troubleshooting and system statistical
reporting. All S-Series systems include System Manager as standard equipment. Core
System Manager functions include:
• Software Download (both locally and remotely)
• X.733 Alarming
• Configuration Management
• Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
• Call Statistics and Uptime
• RF Performance Metrics (e.g., Uplink SQE, Noise Floor, etc.)
• Test and Maintenance (e.g., automated BER testing)
2.4 Network Integration
To support needed personalization and location features, the S-Series communicates
with one or more of the databases (such as Personalization and Location DBs) which
may or may not already exist in the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) BSS and CN.
Each PicoBTS is equipped with a SIM card that stores necessary information for S-Series
provisioning and authentication. SIM-based authentication methodology, similar to GSM
authentication but with no core-network involvement, is used during the PicoBTS
registration with the S-RS to ensure that stolen PicoBTSs are barred from operating. The
PicoBTS authentication does not involve the HLR or any other core-network (CN)
element.
