2.2.2 Using NIC Stand-Alone Version

The following steps show how to use the NIC stand-alone version. For details, see related
sections.
1.
Obtain and install the mediation matching the NE version.
2.
Start the NIC and create an NE.
3.
Collect data.
2.2.3 Installing the Mediation Matching the NE Version

I. Precautions for Installing the Mediation
The mediation for each NE involved should be installed for SingleRAN check, including the
mediations of GSM NEs (GBSC and GBTS), UMTS NEs (RNC and NodeB), and eNodeB.
NOTE
The main program language edition and mediation language edition for the NIC installation must be
consistent with the NE language edition.
You must install the mediation matching a specific NE version by choosing NIC Tools Suite >
Mediation layer manager. Double-clicking the setup program to install the mediation is not
allowed.
The following section describes the procedure for installing the mediation of NIC
V100R006C00SPC500 and later versions.
You need to configure "Server Proxy Configuration" to collect NodeB data.
II. Procedure for Installing the Mediation for NIC V100R006C00SPC500 and Later
Versions

NodeB preventive maintenance inspection
(DBS3900WCDMAV200R013C00/BTS3900WCDMAV200R013C00). The OMStar whose version
is earlier than V500R008C00SPC200 does not need to collect the NodeB data.
The NIC in co-deployment mode provides the access of all NodeBs in the following versions. The
NIC in co-deployment mode in the OMStar of earlier versions does not support the NodeB data
collection.
iManager M2000 V200R011C01SPC240 and later versions
iManager M2000 V200R012C00SPC220 and later versions
The following section uses the UMTS NE as an example. The data collection method for the
SingleRAN is the same.
The method described here also applies to the NICs in stand-alone and co-deployment modes.
You are advised to collect data of one RNC and its corresponding NodeBs for the RNC and
NodeB preventive maintenance inspection. It is recommended that you create multiple
collection tasks for multiple NEs.
Before collect the NodeB performance data, you should firstly make sure the M2000 let the
NodeB performance to be saved.
2.7.1 Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task

In BSC6900 V900R014C00SPC200 and later versions, the Scenario(Group) names of RNC
and NodeB are both SOP.For RNC and NobeB co-collection task, see step 3.
In BSC6900V900R014C00SPC200 earlier versions, As the UMTS_SOP and the NodeB_SOP
collection scenarios belong to different groups, they cannot be selected concurrently when
you create a collection task. You can modify the groups that the UMTS_SOP and
NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to ensure that the two collection scenarios belong to
the same group by performing the following operations. Then, the RNC and NodeB data can
be collected concurrently in one task.
One task collects the data of 1 RNC and 249 NodeBs at most.( In M2000
V200R012C01SPC230 and later versions, when the NIC is co-deployed with the M2000, a

NOTE
Task IDs are generated randomly, for example, 10002, 10003, and 10004.
Check whether the task ID folder saves the collection task created by the user based on the
collection task name in the folder.
After data collection by using the NIC in co-deployment mode, collection results are
downloaded and saved through a web page, as shown in the following figure:
Issue 01 (2013-04-08)

Collection results are downloaded in .zip format. The naming convention of the data package
is collection task name_timestamp, as shown in the following figure:
NOTE
The data packet downloaded by the NIC in co-deployment mode from the GUI must be copied to
the directory that is used as the database directory when you create a task in the OMStar
V500R008. The version earlier than OMStar V500R008C00SPC200 does not support the

II. GSM Summary Report

Report summarization is used to summarize single-NE reports generated by one-click analysis
tasks which support the type of Excel and Word. You can generate summary reports by
enabling the Summary Report function supported by the OMStar V500R008.
NOTE
Issue 01 (2013-04-08)
Do not start the Excel program during the summarization; otherwise, the summarization will fail.
Data only in one file can be selected for analysis if an NE generates multiple files containing
historical data.
The current version supports only the sum of Excel reports that have the same language types, NE
versions, and sub-scenarios.
To ensure that reports can be summed correctly, keep the size of each Excel report less than or equal
to 200 MB.
When generating a Word summarization report, an Excel report is also generated incidentally. The
Excel report is different from the Excel summarization report and is used only for reference. In
addition, some tables and figures in the Word summarization report display only Top N records. You
can view the entire records in the incidentally generated Excel report.

3.4 Handling Problems Based on the Summary Report

You need to handle the problems in the Summary Report after it is generated by the OMStar
V500R008. The following figure shows an example of the Summary Report.
Step 1 Filter key network problems.

If you need to focus on only exceptions, select Abnormal in column F to filter. If you need to
focus on only critical and major problems, select Critical and Major in column E to filter.
Step 2 Get familiar with the rules of the check items and the solutions.
Issue 01 (2013-04-08)

105
OMStar
Maintenance SOP
You can click Rules Description in column D of the Summary Report. Then the following
figure is displayed.
In the preceding figure, the cells under Rules Description of column F describe the cause
why each check item is marked Abnormal. For example, the rules of check item "GOU and
FG2a Brd Port" are as follows:
1.
If the interface boards (FG2a/GOUa) work in active/standby mode, and ports which do
not work in load sharing mode are occupied by IPPATH/SCTP (used for L3 networking),
the ports must be configured to work in active/standby mode.
2.
If two interface boards work in active/standby mode, the attributes of the ports with the
same number on the active and standby boards must be the same, namely, the AUTO
mode, MTU mode, and flow control mode must be the same.
3.
Check the active alarms, and whether the alarm id-21348 exists or not. If exists, list the
information of port.
4.
The value of MTU in the port attribute must be 1500, and AUTO mode should be
recommended as 'AUTO'.
Based on the preceding description, you can learn about when exceptions will occur on the
ports of the interface boards.
You can also learn about how to handle the problem based on the information under
Measures of column I.
Step 3 Locate and resolve the problem.
After learning the rules, you need to locate and resolve the problem accordingly.
Click a hyperlink in column C to return to the Check Item Summary sheet. Then, click an
item in column C or H to navigate to the sheet with specific check results. For example, the
following figure is displayed after you click "GOU and FG2a Brd Port" under column C. You
can learn that no standby port is configured for port 0 on the board that is housed in slot 26 of
subrack 2 of RNC 208 (RNC ID = 208). This information matches rule 1 for the check item
(see step 2); therefore, the result is displayed Abnormal. You can handle the problem by
Issue 01 (2013-04-08)

106
OMStar
Maintenance SOP
referring to the information under Measures of column I. For the example mentioned above,
you only need to configure a standby port for this port.
For some complex problems that you cannot handle by yourself, submit tickets in the iCare
system to track the progress and close the e-workflow.

5 FAQ
FAQ
5.1 FAQs Related to the NIC

5.1.1 How Do I Handle the NIC Startup Failure?
If the Server Proxy Setting of NIC is set to common mode, ensure that the FTP Server is
shut down on the PC before starting the NIC and that the default FTP port is not
occupied.
For other causes, send the log information to R&D engineers for troubleshooting.
5.1.2 How Do I Handle the Failure to Add NEs to the NIC?

1.
Check whether the user name and password are correct, that is, check whether the login
by using the LMT succeeds.
2.
If the PC is configured with multiple network adapters and the NIC earlier than
V100R006C00SPC300 is used, check whether the IP address in FTP Server
Configuration is consistent with the IP address of the PC.
If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the
modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program without restarting the
Internet Explorer.)
3.
Check Mediation layer manager to ensure that mediation matching the version of the
NE whose data needs to be collected has been installed.
4.
For other causes, send the log information to R&D engineers for troubleshooting.
5.1.3 The System Displays the Message "Adaptation layer does

not match the C version of the NE." When the User Adds an NE
1.
This error is a type of NE adding failures. Check whether the mediation matching the NE
version is installed.
2.
If the mediation matching the NE version is installed, the possible cause is that the
mediation of English version has been installed on the NIC of Chinese version.

5.1.4 Data Collection Failure Scenarios (Configuration Data,

Traffic Statistics Data, and MML Data)
3.
If the NIC fails to be connected to NEs, check whether the FTP Server of the NIC is
disabled.
Do not disable the FTP Server during startup or running of the NIC.
4.
If the PC is configured with multiple network adapters and the NIC earlier than
V100R006C00SPC300 is used, check whether the IP address in FTP Server
Configuration is consistent with the IP address of the PC.
If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the
modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program without restarting the
Internet Explorer.)
5.
Check whether the user has the operation right.

Collect data as user admin; otherwise, the collection may fail due to lack of rights for
certain collection items.
Check whether the user is authorized to operate MML commands. If the user is not
authorized to operate MML commands, collecting configuration data and MML data
may fail.
Check whether the user is authorized to back up configuration files. If the user is not
authorized to back up configuration files, collecting configuration files may fail.
Check whether the user is authorized to run the BIN command. If the user is not
authorized to run the BIN command, collecting traffic statistics data may fail
5.1.5 Why Does It Take Time for the NIC to Collect Inspection
Data?
6.
Check whether the default SOP scenario of the NIC is used for collection (it is
unnecessary to collect the massive data such as logs for inspection or SOP).
7.
At present, the NIC reports the progress according to collection items. The execution
sequence of the collection items may change each time a task is created. If the amount of
the data collected by the first collection item is large, the required time is longer and
displayed as X%.
8.
The execution sequence of the collection items may change each time a task is created.
When the items with a small amount of data are collected in priority, it seems that the
collection becomes faster.
9.
If the collection progress does not change for a long time, send the log information to
R&D engineers to check whether the NIC still collects data

5.1.10 How Do I Obtain Co-site Information Manually on the

M2000 When the NIC Cannot Collect the Information
Automatically?

1.
Log in to the M2000, and choose Report > RAN Report Wizard from the menu bar.
2.
In the displayed window, check MBTS, and click Next.
3.
In the Select RAN report types page, check MBTS(GU)NE Report, MBTS(GL)NE
Report, MBTS(UL)NE Report, and MBTS(GUL)NE Report, and click Finish.
