1 Introduction
1.1 BTS Terminal Maintenance

In GSM system, BTS (Base Transceiver Station) is generally located far away from
BSC (Base Station Controller), so it is usually unattended. Maintenance and
supervision operations on BTS are carried out remotely at BSC side. But when field
maintenance are necessary, local BTS terminal maintenance becomes indispensable.
Usually, BTS terminal maintenance is carried out through installing BTS terminal
maintenance software on a PC (either a desktop or laptop, the latter is usually
preferred) and is connected to MMU board through serial communication cable (MMU
board is equipped with a 9-pin serial communication cable socket). As in the case of
BTS maintenance, BTS terminal maintenance operations are also carried out in terms
of BTS logic objects. As for the logic objects and their various status, they have already
been described in detail in BTS Maintenance Part One, it would be unnecessary to
repeat it here.
1.2 Operations of Site Maintenance Terminal System

As the operations in site maintenance terminal system are performed locally over a
single PC, they are somewhat different from those in BTS maintenance. Detailed
description on these operations is to be given in this section.
1.2.1 User Login
I. Function
A user must first log in site maintenance terminal system before being authorized to
perform any maintenance operations over the console.
II. Login
Click on the fifth button on the toolbar, or choose [User Management/User Login]
menu to pop up a "User Login" window. Enter user name and password, then click
<OK> button. See Figure 1-1.
1
Figure 1-1 User login
After the user is successfully logged in, the above-mentioned window would be
automatically closed and the user can proceed to perform desired operations. If the
login fails, the reason would be displayed in the window.
1.2.2 Interface Operations
As shown in Figure 1-2, the interface of site maintenance terminal system is divided
into the following parts: menu, toolbar, BTS logic object, object function, alarm window,
status bar and etc. All the menu commands in the menu are easy to understand and
the buttons on the toolbar are shortcuts for these commands. Move the cursor on a
button to display its functions.
2
Figure 1-2 Site maintenance terminal system
BTS logic objects and their functions will be described later. This part focuses on alarm
functions.
As shown in Figure 1-3, the part in light blue on the interface of site maintenance
terminal system is BTS alarm display part, that means, when an alarm occurs to BS, it
would be displayed in this part of the interface. Double click any alarm message in, it
would display an "Alarm Detailed Explanation" window for this alarm, as shown in
Figure 1-5. Right click a certain alarm message would pop up a menu as shown in
Figure 1-4. Choose commands on the menu, and the functions of message setting,
saving, clearing and scrolling can be performed over the message in the alarm
window.

2 Installation
I. Connect the terminal O&M cable
Both ends of a BTS terminal operations & maintenance cable are DB9 connectors.
One end is connected to the terminal O&M interface on the MOP board at the side of
BS, and the other is connected to a serial port of an operation terminal (usually, a
laptop computer). The pin-to-pin correspondence between the two DB9 connectors at
the two ends of the cable is described in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Pin-to-pin correspondence between the two DB9 connectors at the two ends of an O&M
cable
BTS side connector 2 3 5

Operation terminal side connector 3 2 5
II. Start the terminal O&M system
On an operation terminal (usually, a laptop computer), run BTS terminal application

program MMI. If MMI gets connected to BS, a main man-machine interface for BTS
O&M system would be displayed as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 BTS O&M man-machine interface

User Manual BTS Maintenance – BTS terminal Maintenance
M900/M1800 Base Transceiver Station (BTS22C) 2 Installation
If MMI fails to connect to BS, a failure dialogue box would pop up. Click <OK> button
in this box to open a dialogue box as shown in Figure 2-2 and set the communication
port parameters in it. Select a communication port as COM1, COM2 or COM3
according to which port is actually connected to the cable, and select "38400" as the
communication rate, then click <OK> button.
Figure 2-2 Set communication port parameters dialogue box
If MMI still cannot get connected to BTS after all these settings, check whether the
hardware connection of maintenance cables and the serial port hardware of the
operation terminal is normal.
III. User login
After MMI gets connected to BS, choose [User Management/User Login] menu to
open a dialogue box as shown in Figure 2-3. Enter "User Name" and "User Password",
then click <OK> button. If the entered "User Name" and "User Password" are both
correct, this dialogue box would disappear, which indicates that the user successfully
logs in. Otherwise, a "Wrong Username or Password" prompt would be displayed.

3 "SITE" Functions
As shown in Figure 2-1 BTS O&M Man-Machine Interface, left click [Site0] in the tree
structure, and all the function commands corresponding to [Site0] would be displayed
in the right part of this site window. Detailed description of the function commands
under [Site0], including operation procedures as well as the explanation of function
commands, is given in the following.
3.1 Site Administrationship
I. Operation procedure
Double click [Site0/Site administrationship] in the interface window as shown in

Figure 2-1, and a dialogue box would pop up. In this dialogue box, click [Obtain] and a
"Site Administrationship Successfully Obtained" prompt would be displayed under
normal circumstances. Click [Release] button in the dialogue box mentioned above, a
"Site Administrationship Successfully Released" prompt would be displayed under
normal circumstances.
II. Description
This function command is used for MMI to obtain or release site administrationship.
Once MMI obtains site administrationship, it can take the place of BSC to perform such
operation and maintenance functions over BTS as various configurations, attribute
settings, operations on boards, and etc. In this sense, MMI plays the role of
background maintenance. Normally, all O&M commands can be executed by this MMI.
When MMI releases site administrationship, the O&M commands related to
modification can no longer be executed, while the O&M commands related to reading
can still be executed as usual.
3.2 Opstart Site
Double click [Site0/Opstart Site] as shown in Figure 2-1. Then, click <OK> button in
the popped-up dialogue box, and a "Site Successfully Opstart" prompt would be

usage rates concerning the MMU and MFU boards as well as the temperatures of the
MMU and MTR boards, so that the maintenance staff can be at any time informed of
the CPU loads and internal temperatures and take necessary measures thereby in an
event of an over-high CPU usage rate or temperature.

Figure 3-5 Site hierarchical reset
II. Description
There are three levels of reset, the functions of which are described as follows:
First level reset: forcibly put an out-of-service BTS into service, abort the downloading
progress from MMU to the board.
Third level reset: reinitialize BS, load data but not program.
Fourth level reset: BTS re-initializes, loads data, and loads program from FLASH
