 APG43L

2 APG43L

Purpose:

This Instruction describes the procedure to set up a BSC/MSC/MSC-S DB

/MSC-S BC equipped with APG43L on OSS-RC.

Actions:

1. Setting up the users and accounts for accessing the APG43L - refer to
Section 2.1 on page 3.

2. Connecting to the Network Element - refer to Section 2.2 on page 3.

3. Creating destinations and destination sets - refer to Section 2.3 on page 5.

4. Creating and associating transfer queues - refer to Section 2.4 on page 7.

5. Creating CP Volumes - refer to Section 2.5 on page 8.

6. Defining CP Files - refer to Section 2.6 on page 9.

7. Setting up STS - refer to Section 2.7 on page 11.

8. Setting up Alarm routing - refer to Section 2.8 on page 12.

Note: Steps 2 to 8 mentioned above can also be performed by executing the

script OSS_APG43LNode_configuration_Setup.sh Reference [11]

Before running the OSS_APG43LNode_configuration_Setup.sh script,

user needs to edit few parameters in the script, which is explained
in the comment part of the script.

2.1 APG43L User Management

In BSC/MSC/MSC-S DB /MSC-S BC equipped with APG43L, users are
authenticated by matching their username and password to credentials stored
in OSS-RC LDAP.
For a detailed description on setting up roles, aliases, target and target groups
and LDAP administration see Reference [3] and Reference [6].

2.2 APG43L Connection Modes

This chapter gives an overview of how to connect to a BSC/MSC/MSC-S DB
/MSC-S BC equipped with APG43L.
It also describes how to browse the APG43L Model and how to make and
show configuration changes.

3/1531-AOM 901 092 Uen F | 2015-04-29 3

 OSS-RC APG43L Setup

2.2.1 Prerequisite

The Network Element should be added on OSS-RC. For further information

see Reference [4].

2.2.2 Actions
Connect to the BSC/MSC/MSC-S DB /MSC-S BC equipped with APG43L using
Command Handling Application (CHA) or WinFIOL.

2.2.3 Description
According to the command types to be issued in APG43L, connection between
OSS and an AXE-based NE can be established in two ways:

1. AP session: In an AP session, the COM CLI is used for the purpose

of O&M configuration. This session allows the performing of model
configuration operations and the execution of AP commands. The prompt
for this session always ends with the symbol “>”.

2. MML session: This is used for the execution of MML commands: this
session allows a direct connection towards the CP part of the AXE node.
The prompt symbol for the MML Session is “<”.

To Switch between Modes:

1. AP to MML: Execute “mml” command to get MML Session. To revert back

to AP Mode again, use the “exit;” command.

2. MML to AP: Execute “APLOC;” command to get AP Session. To revert

back to MML Mode again, use the “exit” command.

In an AP session, the COM CLI is used for O & M configuration. This session
allows the user perform model configuration operations.
For a detailed description on how to use the COM CLI for model configuration
operations, see Reference [5].

Note: The <NodeName> field which is used in subsequent chapters is the

value readable from the object with DN ManagedElement.
For example:
>configure
(config)>show
ManagedElement=<NodeName>
(config)>

In this example, Node Name is the name of the Managed Element. The
value of the Managed Element defined in this MO should be the same
as that which is used in the Managed Element Id field while adding
the Network Element into OSS-RC by using Add Remove Network
Element (ARNE).

MSC-S BCs among the five ports from the below range with respect to
the Node that is being used. Values can be from the following range:

0 BSCs/MSC/MSC-S DB: [65506-65510]

0 MSC-S BC : [50185–50189]
