Basic configuration sequence

1.1 Overview of Configuration Management System

The data configuration management system is a database management system with
complete functions and is used to manage the resources of the switch. It has visual and
friendly interfaces and provides the required configuration data for the normal
operation of the MGW, such as the system subscriber capacity, inter-office signaling
mode, and supported service types. The data configuration determines the operation
mode and status of the switch. It is the core part of the whole MGW system and the
most frequently used part in the background maintenance system.

1.2 Basic Configuration Sequence

The ZXC10-MGW configuration database is very large, and the data are complicated
and interrelated. Therefore, data must be configured in a specific order. Figure 1.2-1
shows the basic configuration sequence of the ZXC10-MGW.

Specific steps:

1. To configure a shelf, follow this procedure: module->rack->shelf->board, and

then configure the IP address used for association.

2. Configure the local office.

3. Configure the signaling link to each office direction.

4. Configure the association with each office direction.

2
 Chapter 1 Overview

5. Configure MGC to enable the MGW to register gateway with the MSCe.

6. During the tone loading configuration first restore the tone database to make
preparation for the configuration of tone resource.

7. Configure tone resource to make preparation for tone loading.

8. Load tone to enable the system to play tone normally.

9. Configure other data, such as SSN, MTP masking, and SCCP masking.

Steps 1-11 constitute the basic configuration procedure of the ZXC10 MGW.
After completing the basic configuration, you also need to perform the
subsequent operations:

10. Check the running state of the office, and ensure the correct data configuration.

11. Perform data synchronization on the R_CONST table, and then synchronize the
data to the foreground by synchronizing the whole table.

12. Back up the data and make a report.

For the operation & maintenance system of the ZXC10 MGW, basic
configuration is the basis of operation and maintenance, so you shall be familiar
with it.

2.3 Physical Configuration

1. Tasks and functions of physical configuration

Physical structure is the basis for the running of the system. Therefore, physical
configuration is the prerequisite to any other configuration, and it shall be
completed first.

The tasks of physical configuration are to build an environment corresponding to

the foreground physical structure at the background by configuring the
following data and to manage the environment.

· The physical attributes, physical positions, and hierarchy of the physical

hardware (shelf, rack, slot, and board), which are the principal parts of physical
configuration.

· Logical data, including unit, HW, sub-unit, and the ports to be used . The logical
data is configured based on the physical data according to the requirements of
the foreground and the background.

· Independent data of each module. It is formed by transferring the logical data to

the foreground and the background.

Therefore, the physical configuration has the following functions:

· Browsing the physical structure of an exchange (the hierarchy of modules, racks,

shelves, circuit boards, and so on).

· Modifying the physical configuration of an exchange (for example,

adding/modifying/deleting modules, racks, shelves, circuit boards, and so on).

· Implementing unit configuration, including the configuration of units, HW,

sub-units, and ports.

2. Procedure for physical configuration

When implementing physical configuration, follow this procedure:

rack->shelf->slot.

When implementing physical configuration for a new office, follow this

procedure:

（1）Add an IP rack for the module.

（2）Add shelves for the newly added IP rack according to the actual physical

8
 Chapter 2 Node configuration

hardware. The type of the MGW shelf shall be configured as resource shelf.

（3） Add circuit boards for the newly added shelves.

（4） Configure planning parameters such as module type and module capacity for
the MP board.

（5） Configure module/board relationship for all other boards except MP boards.

（6） Configure IP address and static route.

When deleting the configuration, follow the opposite procedure.

S Caution：

The configuration data of the system is very complicated and mutually associated.
Therefore, when implementing or deleting configuration, follow the corresponding
procedure strictly.

2.3.4 Configuring Module Types

1. Objective

In the MGW (V2.0) system, each MPX86 board has two CPUs to offer the
function of one or more types of processing modules, including OMP, SMP,
CMP, MPU, and RPU (for the functions of the modules, see ZXC10 MSCe
(V2.0) CDMA2000 Mobile Switching Center Emulator Hardware Manual).

After MP is added, no module type information is available by default, as shown

in Figure 2.3-12.

Figure 2.3-12 Default MP Information-No Module Type Configuration

20
 Chapter 2 Node configuration

The task of configuring module type is to specify the relationship between the
CPU in a MP and the above processing modules. After the configuration data is
synchronized to the foreground, the system loads the configured module type for
each CPU to offer the functions of the corresponding module.

The following principles show how to configure module type for the CPU in a
MP according to the system requirements:

· For module types containing OMP, for example MT_3G_OMP and

MT_3G_OMP_SMP_CMP (OMP, SMP, and CMP are combined), you can only
configure CPU 1 in the MP board in slot 11 in shelf 2 on rack 1.

· In principle, other CPUs can be configured with any other module types. In
general, CPU 2 in the MP board in slot 11 in shelf 2 on rack 1 is configured with
the MT_3G_RPU module type.

2. Preliminary setup

· The OMC server and the OMC client run well.

· The database is connected well.

· The MP board is added successfully.

· If you want to delete a module type, the module type shall exist.

3. Detailed procedure for configuring a module type.

The following example shows how to configure a module type for CPU 1 in the
MP board in slot 11 in shelf 2 on rack 1.

1) Open the module type configuration interface.

In the physical configuration window, right-click the desired MP board, and then
select Configure Module Type (see Figure 2.3-10). The Configure module

Key points

· Overview

· Main Interface

· Data synchronization

· Backup and restoration

· Security variables

4.1 Overview
The data configuration of the ZXC10-MGW is divided into two parts:

· Background subsystem based on the Client/Server architecture

· Foreground subsystem

The data configurations and modifications made in the background subsystem are
saved in the database. These configurations are effective only after being transferred to
the foreground subsystem.

Data synchronization is to transfer the data from the background subsystem to the
foreground subsystem to make the data configured by the user effective.

Data backup is to back up the configured data in files.

Data restoration is to restore the backup data to the system. Perform this operation only
when necessary, because it will overwrite the original data.

Security variable management is to maintain some global variables in the modules of

the foreground NEs.

4.2 Main Interface

On the configuration management main interface, expand the navigation tree. The
configuration tool interface appears, as shown in Figure 4.2-1.

101
CM3G-301-E1 Introduction to the ZXC10 MGW Data Configuration

Figure 4.2-1 Configuration Tool Main Interface

4.3 Data Synchronization

1. Objective

To transfer the data configured at the background to the foreground subsystem to

make the data configured by the user effective.

There are three synchronization modes:

· Complete Table: The transfer speed is low, so this mode is not used unless for
office deployment.

· R_CONST Table: The capacity table is transferred to the foreground.

· Changed Table: Only the changed data tables are transferred to the foreground,
minimizing the effect of the data transfer between the foreground and the
background on the system load.

2. Preliminary setup

· The communication between the foreground and the background is normal.

· The database is connected well.

· The data configuration is completed (the synchronization operation can be

performed if some data is configured).

102
 Chapter 3 MGW Configuration

3. Open the interface.

On the configuration management main interface, select Data synchronization

under Configuration tools on the navigation tree. The data synchronization
configuration window appears in the right pane, as shown in Figure 4.3-1.

: Data Synchronization: Synchronizes the data from the background

database to the foreground.

: Synchronization Notification: When the configured data changes, you can

use this function to notify the change to other functional modules (for example,
the alarm management module).

Module: The table displays information about all the modules that can be used
for transmission.

103
CM3G-301-E1 Introduction to the ZXC10 MGW Data Configuration

Progress: This area displays the progress of transmission table during data
synchronization and prompts synchronization failure in case of synchronization
failure.

Transmission Mode: The total table transmission mode is offered.

Synchronization Tables: The options include R_CONST Table, Complete Table,

and Changed Table.

Synchronization Option: The options include Primary/Secondary and Save to

Disk.

Timer: Synchronization timeout timer. If the synchronization duration exceeds

this value, the synchronization fails.

3. Synchronize data.

Select the module information, synchronization mode and synchronization

options, enter the value of the timer, and then click . In the confirmation
dialog box that appears, click OK. The background begins to synchronize data
to the foreground.

To transfer the data to a certain module of the switch, select the module for
separate transfer.

S Caution:

To synchronize data, synchronize the R_CONST table first, and then synchronize the
complete table.

4. Verification

Use a probe to check whether the corresponding data table is consistent with the
one defined at the background.

4.4 Backup and Restoration

1. Objective

Backup is to back up the configured data of the system to the backup disk.

Restoration is to restore the data files stored in the disk to the system.
