Before we proceed with the software commissioning please make sure the
Hardware are inserted as per the design and make sure the board types are
as mentioned in design.
 Local Commissioning Modes

•Local commissioning on the LMT

•Local commissioning using a Universal Serial Bus (USB)

flash drive

Note: Please ensure to download and activate the Digital certificates before
Proceeding with Commissioning.
LMT Commissioning Procedure- Digital Certificates
Preparation

1.Obtaining Digital Certificates

Description: Before commissioning an eNodeB, obtain the operator's root

certificate. The operator's root certificate is used for the eNodeB to authenticate
the SeGW when establishing IPSec tunnels.

Certificate Files Name to be prepared:

“Huawei RadioSubCA.crt” & “CentralElementSubCA(20111206).p7b”

(For Certificate files, please go to FAQ#3)

LMT Commissioning
Procedure---Login
LMT Username and password:

By default, the user name and password are admin and

admin123, respectively.

For eNodeB from factory need to use the New password

mentioned for local login

Fill in the User Name, Password, and Verify Code boxes. Set User Type to
Local.
LMT Commissioning Procedure---FTP Server Setup
Configuring the FTP Server Context:
Because the eNodeB software, data configuration file, and license are downloaded
from the FTP
server to the LMT, ensure that the FTP server has been configured before the
download.

Local Commissioning Using a USB Flash Drive

Commissioning Procedure
This section describes how to perform local eNodeB commissioning using a Universal Serial Bus
(USB)

Prerequisites
* The eNodeB software package and data configuration file are available.
*The commissioning license is ready if you need to load and activate the license file using the USB
flash drive.
•The USB flash drive and commissioning files have been scanned by using the antivirus software and
no virus was detected. The commissioning files include the software package,data configuration file,
and license file.
USB flash drive
* The USB flash drive is equipped with an indicator that indicates the data transmission status.
* Capacity ≥ 256 MB
*The USB flash drive must not provide any additional functions,such as encryption, virus scanning,
and bootstrapping. In addition, it cannot be an MP3 player, MP4 player, or smartphone.
*The USB flash drive used for commissioning cannot be used for other purposes
USB Commissioning Procedure
Pre check Points
1. Obtain the eNodeB software and files for automatic eNodeB deployment.
NOTE
* The eNodeB software package is ready, and can be downloaded from Huawei Engineer.
The default configuration file (Precfg.ini) is provided in the software package.
*The name of the data configuration file must be CFGDATA.XML. The file name is case-sensitive.

2. Save the required files to the following paths of the USB flash drive, depending on the specific
scenarios, shown in Table 2 (The save path is case-sensitive and cannot be changed.)
USB Commissioning Procedure-
Step 1 Check whether the eNodeB is powered on. If it is not powered on, power on the
eNodeB. If it
is already powered on, go to Step 2.
NOTE
Ensure that the RRU is powered on and the common public radio interface (CPRI) connections
are correct
before you power on the eNodeB. Check for faults by monitoring the CPRI indicator status on
the LBBP
after the eNodeB is powered on. For details, see Checking the Status of Indicators.
Step 2 When the eNodeB operates properly, insert the USB flash drive into the USB port
on the
BBU3900 main control board. If an LMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure 3-15; if an
UMPT is used, the USB port is shown in Figure
USB Commissioning Procedure

Step 3 Wait for the eNodeB to automatically upgrade the software and data configuration file.
If the download or activation fails, commission the eNodeB by updating the software and data
configuration file in the USB flash drive or using a new USB flash drive.
If the download or activation still fails, perform the local eNodeB commissioning on the LMT.
When the software and data configuration file are being upgraded, the normal status of the
indicators on the USB flash drive and main control board is shown .

 Integration Verification
Checking the Operating Status of the eNodeB on the LMT

Procedure
1.On the LMT, click Self-Test. On the displayed Self-Test tab page, a man-machine language (MML) command
script with the complete parameter settings is automatically imported to the command area.
2.Click Execute. The execution result is displayed in the area below Execute.

NOTE:
If all items pass the check, the eNodeB operates properly. Otherwise, check for active alarms and clear them. If
all active alarms are cleared but the fault persists, contact Huawei for technical support.
 FAQs
1. How to check physical link status is up?

o Check Optical model type @ eNB and RTN sides.

BOM#34060473 eSFP-1310nm-1000Base-Lx SM Optical
transceiver,eSFP,1310nm,1.25Gb/s,-9~-3dBm,-20dBm,LC,Single
Mode,10km

o Check Configuration of the Port, speed and duplex mode

Speed =1000MDuplex = Full Duplex

o Run LST ETHPORT and DSP ETHPORT on LMT.

To check the port status “Port Status = Up”

DSP ETHPORT:SN=6,SBT=BASE_BOARD;

To check the port Attribute should be “Fiber” or “Copper” based the real
connection.

2. What’s the issue Macro site 2*2 MIMO cell setup failure?

For Macro site, due to low speed of SFP module, 2*2 MIMO cells are
failed to setup.
o Check Optical model type @ eNB and RRU sides.
BOM#34060365 MultiMode SFP required

o Run “DSP CPRILBR”

Cabinet No. Subrack No. Slot No. Node Max bit rate(Gbit/s)

0 0 3 Head 2.5
0 60 0 0 2.5
(Number of results = 2

o Replace the SFPs based on above display results

Notes: For IBS sites, SFP is required 1.25Gbit/s to setup SISO cell.
