TIL overview
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The TIL software is part of the CCM software and is loaded onto the TIL PC before
connection to the Node B. Once this is done, the TIL software will be consistent with the
Node B software release.
The Node B can also download its own software from a CD-ROM.
The TIL software offers an intuitive and graphical user interface (GUI) described in
Chapter 6, Understanding the TIL GUI.

Overview
This chapter describes the connection modes between the TIL and the Node B.
The TIL is connected to the active CCM/iCCM/xCCM using a TCP/IP connection. Two
types of connections are available:
Peer-to-peer connection (p. 2-6)
Remote connection (p. 2-7)
Peer-to-peer connection
In the peer-to-peer connection mode, the CCM/iCCM port 2 and xCCM port 1 have a
hard-coded IP address. This address is factory-defined and is independent of the module.
Thus, you always know the IP address used to access the CCM for a peer-to-peer
connection. An IP aliasing mechanism can be used to define more than one IP address on
the same interface.
The following figure shows the TIL peer-to-peer connection mode.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
NN-20500-019

Overview
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The TIL is connected to the front panel of the CCM module using an RJ-45 Ethernet
cable.
If the connection between the TIL and the Node B is successful, the green LED on the
connected port of the CCM module is lit up.
Remote connection
For a remote connection, you must know the public IP address of the CCM/iCCM/xCCM
module in the Node B. This public IP address can be fixed or dynamically assigned by a
DHCP server. The TIL does not handle dynamic IP address allocation of the
CCM/iCCM/xCCM. If the IP address of the module changes between two TIL
connections, you have to know his new IP address for the second connection.
The following figure shows the TIL remote connection mode.
Figure 2-3 TIL remote connection
The RNC acts as a router for IP traffic.

In remote connection mode, the TIL is connected to the network.
For OAM in-band, that is, local network traffic, the I-node acts as a gateway between the
OAM subnetwork and the Node B subnetwork.

Overview

The following example is for information only:

Example
To set the network parameters of a CCM board, create a file /etc/rc2.d/S97NodeBRouter (such
as on the OAM main server) containing the following three commands to be executed on each
workstation reboot:
For a client PC:

route ADD 10.1.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.248 10.1.20.107 -p
route ADD 10.1.0.8 MASK 255.255.255.248 10.1.20.110 -p
route ADD 10.1.0.24 MASK 255.255.255.248 10.1.20.97 -p
(-p to make the declaration persistent for a PC reboot)
For a client workstation:

route add net 10.1.0.0/29 10.1.20.107 1
route add net 10.1.0.8/29 10.1.20.110 1
route add net 10.1.0.24/29 10.1.20.97 1
Network connection applies to Node Bs in live UMTS networks only.

Two peer-to-peer connections between the TIL and the active CCM are not possible at the
same time. Only the last TIL connection is available; the previous connection is
automatically stopped (if it is not performing a software download or activation
operation).
If an ongoing download operation is given a priority when there are two clients (TIL or
OMC-B), the first client retains the connection and the second client must wait until the
download is over for the first client.
The TIL terminal is disconnected when a Node B download starts from OMC-B.

Node B modes
Overview
This chapter describes the Node B connection and operating modes.
Node B connection modes
Stand-alone
The Node B is in stand-alone mode if there is no communication between the Node B
and the OMC-B and the RNC. For more information, see Reset in stand-alone mode
(p. 6-92).
Connected
The Node B is in connected mode if it is operational, linked to the network, and can
receive messages on the Iub interface during TIL connection. For more information,
see Reset in connected mode (p. 6-92).
To switch the Node B from connected mode to stand-alone mode, reset the Node B using
the TIL (Reset in stand-alone mode (p. 6-92)). At the end of the reset, reconnect the TIL
terminal to the Node B. If there is no TIL reconnection within 15 minutes, the Node B
automatically reboots to return to connected mode.
Node B operating modes
Normal mode
In normal operating mode the Node B is connected to the OMC-B and it can be
configured and operated using the TIL and the OMC-B in parallel without any
restrictions.
Maintenance mode
When a Node B is set to maintenance mode using the TIL, it should only be
configured and operated with the TIL.
Note: It is recommended not to issue command to Node B when it is in maintenance
mode and connected to the TIL for site maintenance. The Node B user is also warned
about this recommendation. For more information, see Managing the Node B
maintenance mode (p. 8-23).

The Vp/Vc chosen must be different from those used at the application level (OAM
level). If the Vp/Vc used is identical between all Node Bs, the PCM loop back test does
not detect the PCM link crossings.
CPRI loop back test
The goal of the CPRI loop back test is to validate the digital transmission on fibers and
the CPRI framer level inside RRH.
The BTS can determine if there has been zero error on a given AxC of the CPRI link from
BTS --> RRH --> BTS digital link during a given test duration.

An Use Frequency Test from Config File checkbox. This option allows to use the
frequency (DL-UL) from configuration file (DLU) or not. If this option is selected, it
will disable Frequency Channel Number and will use DLU frequency.
an Enter Frequency Channel Number field, for entering the frequency channel
number that you want to test.
1900, 2100, 900, and 850 checkboxes, which indicate the Node B frequency
bandwidth. The Node B frequency bandwidth depends on the Node B hardware
configuration. Alcatel-Lucent recommends to keep the bandwidth configured by
default.
During the RF TX Cabling building, the TIL checks that the test frequency channel is
within the Node B frequency bandwidth.

RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is not built, or when the Node B MIB is built but no
cell is configured
If the Node B MIB is not built or if the Node B MIB is built but no cell is configured, you
can choose any frequency within the Node B frequency band as the test frequency. The
TIL sends the OAM the test frequency as an alternative to the one that is included in the
Node B configuration file. If the test frequency sent to the OAM is different from the one
in the Node B configuration file, the OAM uses the alternative test frequency from the
TIL and performs the test with the TRM board. The RF cabling is then dynamically
generated.
If the alternative test frequency sent by the TIL to the OAM is the same as the test
frequency included in the Node B configuration file, RF cabling test results previously
saved into the EMOAM database are used and the RF cabling is not dynamically
generated.
The following figure shows an example of RF TX cabling representation when the Node
B MIB is not built, or when the Node B MIB is built but when no cell is configured, and
the alternative test frequency is different from the test frequency included in the Node B
configuration file:
RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is built and the cells are configured
When the Node B MIB is built and the cells are configured, the only accepted test
frequency is the test frequency of the DLU file. RF cabling test results previously saved
in the EMOAM database are used (at least test done during last Node B reset) and the RF
cabling is not dynamically generated.
To have a dynamic result you have to lock the cells.
The following figure is an example of RF TX cabling representation.
