2.1

Transmission interface configuration constraints
Physical and logical interfaces
A logical interface is an interface that has a logical implementation on top of one or more physical interfaces. The Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) groups is the logical interface in the Nokia Flexi WCDMA BTS transmission sub-module. The PDH interface has both a physical and logical implementation in the transmission sub-module.
Note
The VPI bit range is 8 bits (0-255). The VCI bit range is 12 bits (0-4095).
Note
Virtual Channel (VC) values from 0 to 7 are not configurable. Values from 8 to 31 are configurable but should not be used. They are reserved by standardisation bodies for other purposes.
Note
Interfaces can be used for ATM traffic only after they have been taken into use with Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager. Only those interfaces that are actually used should be taken into use.

Modifying transmission configuration with XML configuration file

Before you start
Check that:
8 (40)
# Nokia Corporation
the XML configuration file has been prepared and is available the AAL2 Multiplexing licence file is available (if necessary) the transmission sub-module has access to the location of the configuration and licence files (for example, Local Management Tool or a database in NetAct)
If you want to modify the transmission configuration, you need to recommission the BTS. For instructions, see Performing reconfiguration commissioning in Nokia WCDMA BTS Commissioning. If the XML configuration file is downloaded to the BTS locally from the Local Management Tool, you do not have to configure an external File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager contains an internal FTP server that is activated automatically when necessary.
Note
If the internal FTP server is used, close all other FTP servers running on the same PC to avoid port conflicts.
Note
If you are using a remote FTP server, make sure that the XML configuration file is accessible to the BTS and that the FTP server is online and running.
Steps
1. For instructions, see Performing planned commissioning in Nokia WCDMA BTS Commissioning. The commissioning target is TRS Only.
2.3
Inspecting and modifying Traffic Descriptors

Purpose
Traffic Descriptors define the traffic and Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for one or more Virtual Path (VP) or Virtual Channel (VC) connections.
# Nokia Corporation
9 (40)
Before you start
Note
Only Traffic Descriptors that are not in use can be modified or deleted.
Steps
1. Inspect Traffic Descriptor settings. Click Configuration TRS Configuration... and select the Traffic Descriptors pane.
Figure 1.
Inspecting Traffic Descriptors
Tip
By clicking Traffic Descriptors, you can view all traffic descriptors that are configured.
The following information is displayed for each Traffic Descriptor:
10 (40)
# Nokia Corporation
. . . .

You can modify the following settings:

. . .
Name: name for the Traffic Descriptor (max. 20 characters) Conformance Definition: CBR.1 or UBR. Peak Cell Rate (cells/s)
2.4
Inspecting and modifying IMA settings

Purpose
Inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) is a technique by which ATM traffic can be distributed between several lower bandwidth PDH links, and then recombined again at the far end. IMA groups can be created in FTPB, FTEB and FTIA interface units. For more information on IMA, see Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) in Base Station Description.
12 (40)
# Nokia Corporation
Steps
1. Inspect the IMA group settings. Click Configuration TRS Configuration IMA.... The Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) pane opens.
Figure 4.
Inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) window
You can view the properties of IMA groups and IMA links by clicking the Show Status button. The following IMA group properties are displayed in the Group pane:
. . . . . . . . . . .
IMA Group ID Operational State (Disabled/Enabled) Near-end IMA Group State Far-end IMA Group State Current IMA Version: 1.0, 1.0Alt or 1.1 Current TX Timing Link RX Timing Link IMA Links Status Number of TX Active Links Number of RX Active Links Rx Frame Length

Click Send to save the changes. 2. Delete an IMA group. Select the group from the list and click Delete IMA Group. Click Send to save the changes.
Note
Before deleting an IMA group, delete all cross-connections and termination points.
3.
Modify an IMA group. Select the group you want to modify from the list and click Modify Group....
14 (40)
# Nokia Corporation
You can modify the following settings:

.
Add or remove links: select the link you want to modify and make the necessary modifications. The capacity is calculated automatically. Modify the minimum link count (the minimum number of IMA links required to keep the IMA group active). Possible values range from 1 to the number of configured IMA links. The default value is 1. Select the link you want to modify. Use the arrow buttons to change the minimum number of links. Set the IMA group into use: select the In Use check box.
Click Send to save the changes. The maximum number of IMA groups and links is the following:
.
. .
FTPB: 1 to 4 IMA groups, with 1 to 8 E1/T1/JT1 links per IMA group FTEB: 1 to 4 IMA groups, with 1 to 8 E1 links per IMA group FTIA: 1 to 2 IMA groups, with 1 to 4 E1/T1/JT1 links per IMA group
Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager creates the Group ID automatically after checking the already assigned IDs in the slot. The range of IDs is from 33 to 99 per slot, so that 33 is assigned to the first group and incremented by 1 for the next group. Click OK to close the Modify IMA Group window.
2.5
Inspecting and modifying PDH interface settings

Before you start
Note
In Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager, the FTFA is displayed as an interface unit with 8 E1 interfaces and 2 Flexbus interfaces (greyed out). The ATM part of the FTFA is treated as any other interface unit and can therefore be configured with Nokia WCDMA BTS Site Manager. Flexbus-related configurations are performed with Nokia FlexiHub Manager.
# Nokia Corporation
15 (40)
Steps
1. Inspect the PDH settings. Click Configuration TRS Configuration Physical Interfaces....
Figure 6.
Inspecting PDH settings
The following information is displayed:

. . .
In Use (Yes/No) Line Type CRC On
You can access Loop Configuration by clicking the Interface Loops button. 2. Check the interface type. Check the interface type from the dropdown menu in the Transmission Interface Pane. If necessary, select another standard from the list. The standard is selectable for FTPB and FTIA only.
16 (40)
# Nokia Corporation
The available standards for the PDH interface units are:

. . . .
FTPB: E1, T1, JT1 FTEB: E1 FTIA: E1, T1, JT1 FTFA: E1
Note
Frequent switching between interface types may cause problems and should be avoided. No mixed configurations of E1/T1/JT1 are allowed on the same transmission submodule. If you change the PDH interface type, the change will be applied to all interfaces of the unit and configurations deleted. Possible traffic will be cut off.
The available line types are the following:

.
E1: MultiFrame (select the CRC On check box; default), DoubleFrame (clear the CRC On check box). T1: Extended SuperFrame (select the CRC On check box; default), SuperFrame (clear the CRC On check box) JT1: Extended MultiFrame
The line type can be set independently for each interface. 3. Modify the Lbo and BER settings. You can modify the following settings:
.
Line Build Out (Lbo): possible values are 0 dB (default), 7.5 dB and 15 dB. The highest Tx power output for the line interface is 0 dB and it can be attenuated in order to avoid overloading the interface. Lbo has to be defined for JT1 and T1 interfaces. Bit Error Rate (BER): possible values are 10-3 (default), 10-6.
The haul type is configured automatically according to the received signal level. 4. Click Send to save the changes.

Configuring loopbacks Inspecting and modifying IMA settings
2.6
Configuring loopbacks
Purpose
The following loopbacks can be configured on PDH interfaces:

.
loop to interface (incoming signal is looped back to output directly after the interface) loop to equipment (outgoing signal is looped back to input directly before the interface)
The following loopbacks can be configured on SDH/SONET interfaces:

.
long loop to interface (incoming signal is looped back to output directly after the interface) short loop to equipment (outgoing signal is looped back to input directly before the interface)
Steps
1. Select the Tests Interface Loops menu item. A new window opens. 2. Create the loopback. Select the interface for which you want to create a loopback. Select the loopback type from the dropdown menu. The loopback type can be either To Equipment or To Interface.

Before you start
Note
The following IP addresses should not be configured:
.
default address (0.0.0.0) multicast address (224.0.0.0/8) broadcast address (255.255.255.255) addresses in the subnet 192.168.255.xxx (internal address) addresses in the subnet 127.xxx.xxx.xxx (reserved for loopbacks)
Steps
