Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it'll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albe
To do Before Starting:
1. Neighbor list: Call to the Planning/OMC, ask for neighbor list for your site, this list contains
NodeB IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, RNC IPs (Default and standby).
2. Cell details: call to the OMC Ask for local cell IDs, site configuration(number of sectors, power)
3. Link check: to confirm that the transmission between the NodeB and the RNC is established
this can be MW link or optical fiber according to the site.
a. Set your computer IP, subnet mask and Gateway to the NodeB IPs from neighbor list.
b. Connect your LAN cable to the transmission port in the link.
c. Try to ping the Gateway IP given from the planning team if you received response then the
link is OK if not call to the transmission to check as you cannot integrate the site without
working link.
4. Create a new folder with the site ID (Optional) and put old script file inside it to be used.
Now you have checked and have all the data needed to start the integration.
Requirements for the integration:
1. Working Laptop with Web LMT R015V260 software, internet explorer 9 or older version and
Java compatible platform.
2. Straight LAN cable RJ45 (if BBU have UMPT board you will need also USB to LAN cable).
3. Old scripts file to upload it and edit through it to the new site configuration.
STEP ONE : Software and configuration download and activation :
1. Software loading :
a. Change LAN IP to [Link] (for the new BBU because this is the default IP).
b. Change program IP from office management setting to [Link].
c. Change working directory from SFTP server to the folder you have created for the site
d. Open the WLMT and login with Username: admin and password hwbs@com (for UMPT
boards)(for WMPT username:admin and password: NodeB)
e. In the MML window you can start downloading your old script file by:
Command

DLD
Fill the fields as shown in Fig.1 note that:
1. For user password: hwbs@com (for WMPT password:
SOFTWARE
NodeB)
2. FTP server directory: is the directory for the script file in
the folder you have created before starting.
3. New window will appear put the same directory for the
script file and same password
LST
Copy the software version to be used for the activation
SOFTWARE
(V100R008C00SPC260)
2. Software activation:

3. Configuration file download:
Command
Details
LST CFGFILE To see if there is previous configuration from old data.
DLD
Fill the fields as shown in Fig.3 note that:
1. FTP server IP is the same as program IP.
CFGFILE
2. fTP server username: admin.
3. For user password: hwbs@com (for WMPT password:
NodeB)
4. FTP server directory: is the directory for the configuration
file.
5. Source file name is the configuration file [Link]
4. Configuration file activation :
Command
Details
ACT CFGFILE Use the XML mode and after_reset effect type.
Now you have downloaded and activated the software and the configuration for the NodeB this is
common procedure for all new 3G sites. The NodeB may restart 2 or three time during the
activation.
STEP TWO : Transmission layer (IP configuration):
1. IP configuration :
a. Change LAN IP to [Link]/16.
b. Change program IP from office management setting to [Link].
c. Open the WLMT and login with Username: admin and password hwbs@com (for UMPT
boards)(for WMPT username: admin and password: NodeB)
d. In the MML window start setting the NodeB IP by:
Command
LST DEVIP

To Add IP As shown in Fig.4: for the IP address set the NodeB IP
and the Mask as given from the planning.
With LST command again you will find two IPs old one and the
new one you added now keep the old one and dont remove
now.
You have to remove the IP clock, OM channel, IP route, IP Path
and SCTP link before removing the old device IP because all of
this depends on it.
For removing the IPCLK set link number to 0 to remove the
active IP.
For adding the IP clock link set the server IPv4 (RNC active as
shown in fig.5.
For removing the IPCLK set link number to 1 to remove the
standby IP.
Repeat the addition and change only the Server IPv4 to RNC
standby IP as shown in fig.6.

For listing the IPRT check how many routes you have then
delete all by repeating RMV command for each route index.
Almost from 0 to 4.
Repeat 5 times for route index from 0 to 4 changing the
destination IP and its mask as follow (repeat as shown in
fig.8)
1. Index zero : Destination IP : [Link] fixed for all UAE
and Mask : [Link].
2. Index 1 : Destination IP : [Link] fixed for all UAE and
Mask : [Link].
3. Index 2 : Destination IP : given RNC IP-1 and Mask :
[Link].
4. Index 3 : Destination IP : RNC active IP and Mask :
[Link].
5. Index 4 : Destination IP : RNC standby IP and Mask :
[Link].
6. All the remaining fields still the same no change and for
the next hop IP is the Gateway IP.
List all existing IP paths then you can directly edit it by editing
the NodeB IP and the RNC IP then repeat 4 times for path ID
from 1 to 4 and change the DSCP as follow: (ID 1 DSCP =
46,ID 2 DSCP = 18,ID 3 DSCP = 10,ID 4 DSCP = 38
List the SCTP link parameters the you can modify the first local
IP to the NodeB IP and first peer IP to the RNC IP.

sector) repeat 6 times for the 6 RRUs and change only
subrack number, RRU chain number and the position as
following :
1. Sector 1: (1st RRU - Subrack 80, position 0)( 2nd RRU Subrack 81, position 1) (RRU chain number 0 for both)

Assign frequency channels for the sectors as
shown in fig17,18,19
We have two groups (0, 1) each group can carry up
to 6 local cells.
Each 3 local cells assigned to one frequency
default frequencies are 4:
1. F1 UL : 9812, DL : 10762
2. F2 UL : 9837, DL : 10787
3. F3 UL : 9862, DL : 10812
4. F4 UL : 9887, DL : 10337
Assign for first 3 local cell IDs sector equipment 0,
2, 4 assigned to same frequency F1
Assign for second 3 local cell IDs sector equipment
0, 2, 4 assigned to same frequency F2 and now
you have 6 cells in sector equipment 0, 2, 4 as
group 0
Assign for third 3 local cell IDs sector equipment 1,
3, 5 assigned to same frequency F3
Assign for forth 3 local cell IDs sector equipment 1,
3, 5 assigned to same frequency F4 and now you
have 6 cells in sector equipment 1, 3, 5 as group
1
Frequency assignment to the sector equipment
may vary.
Repeat local cell addition by changing the cell ID
(almost site ID, 1), sector equipment1, UL, DL
frequencies, and the MAX power.
Repeat multi-group addition for same sectors
numbers.
Sect carrier cell ID 0, 1, 2 and so one equal to site
sectors as shown in fig.17
Repeat for local cells numbers and assign all to cell
IDs you have created in previous step
For cell ID 0 : local cell 1,2,3 Sector A
For cell ID 1 : local cell 4,5,6 Sector B
For cell ID 2 : local cell 7,8,9 Sector C
STEP FOUR: Board configuration:
a. Check for the boards installed in your site and compare with the boards configured in the
software from device maintenance tap, if there is board change start adding or removing
with what existing in the site. For example for removing/adding WBBP board.

STEP FIVE: External Alarms setting:
a. You have to check for the external alarms if not connected to your BBU (connected to the
2G equipment) so you must disable it by:
Command
SET ALMPORT
Details
To set the alarms off, repeat 8 times for all external alarms
by changing the port number from 0 to 7 as shown in
fig.22 and set the switch to OFF.
