Overview of M2000
M2000, using two kinds of working mode, including client and server terminals. The software of
M2000 is made up of client, server and network element adapter, which are independent from
each other. Client software runs on client terminal, while the server and network element adapter
software run on the server terminal.
How do M2000 configure the net? Especially for BSC6000? First, M2000 sends the order, all the
configuration data is written into an XML file. Secondary, uploaded to M2000 by FTP, then the
configured server will fetch the network elements configuration data according to MIT trees
related interfaces of BSC6000. So, without making any operation of data configurations in M2000
we can see all the messages of cells and carrier frequency managed by BSC6000.

Overview of M2000
The functions offered by M2000 are not only the management of performance
counter, but also the centralized managements of topology, configuration, fault,
software and safety.
Main functions offered by performance counter management:
Management of performance counter and objects
Real time measurement functions
Real time monitoring
Management of performance data
Performance alarms
Custom counter
After the connecting between M2000 and BSC6000, BSC will upload a default task
file of a network element to M2000 server. M2000 will analyze and verify the format
and content of this task file, and then create a new task file according to the
measured counter management, finally descend to network element.
Object measurement
To define the measurement object. Measurement object can be sub
rack or cabinet for physical concept or cells for logical concept.
Measurement object and measurement counter corresponding to each
other. Different measurement object has different measurement
counter, a measurement counter can only be applied for one kind of
measurement object. The counter is divided into several measurement
function integration, one measurement function integration is also
divided into several measurement units which are corresponding to
one kind of measurement object.
While adding network elements, such as new sites, M2000 might not
update object list immediately, we can synchronize the configurations
manually.
In the M2000 network topology interface, select the network element graph needed to
be maintained, open the right button menu and select Synchronize CM data; the
synchronization progress will be displayed on the network element graph.
Most of the BSC6000 counteres are collected by network element itself according to
hours, and a result file is to be created. However, whether these counteres will be
converted into M2000 server database and queried, some settings have to be done.
(register or not, KPI counteres will be saved and available to be queried).
The operations related to traffic statistic of M2000 are included in Performance
menu
Open performance menu, select Object Setting, then start registering object in the
pop-up interface. Like the graph below, unfold the cell object, under of which are the
network element (BSC6000),

How to register Counter
According to the source of counter, we can divide them into two parts: system
counter and custom counter. System counter could also be divided into two parts:
Key counter and Extension Performance counter.
The counter defined in M2000 by user is custom counter.

How to register counter
Key performance counter
Important counter of network element, measurement state by default, user
can not cancel the measurement.
Extension performance counter
Non measurement report are not available until we register it, after registering,
it can start, user could cancel the measurement.
Custom counter
Custom counter is a new measurement counter, which is created by portfolio
operation of original counter.
Custom counter is made up of value, constant and integral operators. All system
counteres involved in a certain custom counter must correspond to a same object
type.
The formula defined in custom counter can be nested.
The length of formula must be less than 255 bytes.
User can create, modify or delete custom counter, but cant deliver measurement
directly.
Select Counter Setting, register the counter on pop-up interface:
such as the graph below, only the Default Counter (KPI counter) are automatically
selected when commissioning site, other Extended Counter has to be selected
manually. Finish selecting, click Apply or OK.

Architecture of performance measurement counter
The system has a large amount of performance measurement counter. In
order to use and manage conveniently, this counter must be managed
layer by layer.
Layer 1, functional set (measurement set), includes several functional sub
set related to certain aspect of system function.
Layer 2, functional sub set (measurement unit), includes several
measurement counter related to certain system function.
Layer 3, measurement counter.
In counter registering interface of M2000, structure of the counter distributes
according to measurement object/business process, level one catalogue distributes
by object, what RNO pays attention to are:
BSC Measurement
Call Measurement
CHAN Measurement
MR Measurement
PAGE Measurement
Call Measurement is the most important, which is separated into several business
process, including access, assignment, handover, call drop and so on.
MR Measurement is traffic statistic of measurement report, it includes traffic volume,
interference band, up-down link balance, etc.

How to maintain counter
counter maintenance function includes several aspects:
Synchronize the measurement result of a certain time segment
Subscribe measurement, dynamically examine the result reporting instance
Query reliability instance of measurement result in a certain time segment
Query the loss instance of measurement result in a certain time segment
suspend and resume measurement

The interface of maintenance counter (the graph below), the function buttons referred
before are at the bottom of the interface:
How to maintain counter :synchronize
Synchronize network element data manually, so that the lost measurement data
can be recovered from the network element.
How to maintain counter: subscribe
After subscribing, newly reported performance measurement result will be
displayed in the interface automatically.
A limit of five subscribed
measurement instances in every
interface
Cancel the subscribe
of current Tab and
close it
How to maintain counter: miss the queried result
How to maintain counter: query reliability
While network element reporting measurement result, the reliability information
will be included, so as to describe whether these data is reliable. It shows the
ratio of the reliable result in the whole measurement result.
How to query counter
Select query result in performance main menu
Query measurement result according to different conditions (counter/object/time
segment).

Save the set query condition as a template, this template can also be copied and
pasted.

The measurement result can be displayed in the form of table, linearity graph
and histogram.

counter query interface:
Direction of tree structure
In the counter query interface, every login user has his own directory. Unfold the
directory, there is a query template which is belongs to the login user.

Object
Setting
Counter
Setting
Direction of counter query: counter query is to query the database under conditions of object,
counter and time, so these three aspect must be selected in the counter query interface.
Get Result
Others
Setting
In order to create a query, we have to right click on the level 1 tree directory, and
select New Query.

counter selection:

Time selection:

Every new query, there is a save template button, we can save the template, so that
if we have to query the same counter next time, it can be easily done by clicking the
template.

Query result (in the form of table chart) , most common form.
Query resultin the form of linearity chart
Query resultin the form of histogram
The period of real time counter measurement is less than 30 minutes, commonly 5min or 15min,
for the purpose of trouble shooting (paging or handover) in a short time. Mostly we dont use it. In
order to prevent M2000 from data processing overload.
Maintenance and query
operation of real time
counter is the same as
normal counter, but the
function entrance
Direction of custom counter operation:
Custom counter is made up of value, constant and operator.
After all the original counter come into measurement status, the user custom counter
will come into measurement status.
All system counteres involved in a certain custom counter must correspond to a same
object type. So as to say: one object type can span function sub set.
User can create, modify or delete custom counter.
Select Customer Counter Management in the performance menu, M2000 will switch
to custom counter operation interface:
See the graph below:

Select the
query unit
where new
counter is
saved
Existing defined
custom counter
After user login, select the
custom counter, and the modify
or delete operation will be
available
Tips of custom counter usage
Naming of custom counter must distinguish obviously from the system self
counter.
Export the custom counter to xml file, and import in other M2000 server.
We cant edit the custom counteres created by other user, but we can copy them
in counter browse interface and make use of them convenient.
Custom counter support nested counter , the custom counter set by user can
be used in other counter formula.
When querying custom counter, it must be calculated by M2000. Unlike the
system counter which is calculated at the time while reporting archive. So custom
counter need more query time (V2R6 and its higher version, custom counter will
be calculate at the archive time).

In the new custom counter interface, formula can be copied and pasted directly in formula
editing area.

Threshold management
For the purpose of KPI monitor, we can set a threshold value to manage. M2000 will
use the form of alarm to inform user that the counter has been changed based on the
pre set threshold values. However, the counter reporting can only support minimum
15 minutes granularity. The subsequence version can support the counter reporting
for less than 15 minutes also.
Threshold management includes:
Set threshold according to a certain network element or measurement unit
Two threshold direction: ascent and descent
Four threshold alarm levels: warning, minor, major, critical.
Hysteresis can be set separately.
Threshold can be created, modified, deleted, or suspended.

Threshold management: performance threshold measurement interface
Threshold management: add threshold
Threshold management: modify threshold
Threshold management: suspend threshold

is 11(normal measurement) , 19.5(max measurement) B065 version of V890 can suspend
11(normal) / 6(max) BSCs.
Failing to archive is the main reason, several scenes are described below:
The size of original network element reporting file in M2000 server is 0K, which
results in failing to read the real data.
Due to bad transmission condition between M2000 and BSC, error files will be
created. We need to delete these files before archive. M2000 version
V2R3C01B065SP04 and its subsequence version can solve this problem.
High amount of data query leads to deadlock of database
Cleaning the database and restart M2000 server are needed, for BSC6000, we
must strictly control measurement object activation data related to Neighbor cell
measurement.
Register 15 minutes traffic statistic, leads to slow data archive:
Close short period traffic statistic, or it would cause large amount of data needs
to archive on the hour, it would also delay the normal period traffic statistic to
archive.
Common problems
After query result files saved as .EXCEL, number format is saved as text format,
which leads to failure to edit the data directly
R3C01B065SP03 and its earlier version, we need to transfer the data or save it
as .CSV format.
R3C01B065SP04 version, number can be saved directly.

counter query/register interface, how to do if all counteres needed to be selected?
Drag the scroll bar to the bottom, and click all item, thats ok.

Some appraisal counteres of customer need to be calculated by custom formula,
but the query is very slow, how to do?
Suggest not use custom counter in M2000, export the original counter, write
macro/formula ourselves to improve the speed.
Direction of M2000 versions new supported function
Evolution of M2000 version
CME imported
New version is not only enhanced on performance statistic, but also imports CME module on data
setting, which can support both import and export EXCEL format of all network optimizing parameters.
The adding of CME function can make user deal with daily parameter modifying and operation related
to network optimizing efficiently. Besides, between different network elements, some matching
functions can be implemented automatically: for example, automatically cell data modifying after sites
swap to other BSC.
MML imported
Import of MML can improve the efficiency of daily data modifying and querying.
Man-machine interface optimized
Function persistence optimizing: real time monitor of counter, cooperate with network
element to complete less granularity counter monitor.
Query report: many sheets can be set in one report, and it can include different
measurement object/counter; at the same time, we can set TopN query or conditional display.

Technology changes.
Communication lasts.
