Introduction

The Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub Manager manages a Nokia Ultra SiteBTS Hub cross-connection node in a transmission network. Thetheoretical maximum interface capacity (with 4 FXC RRI units) is128x2M. The cross-connection capacity of the backplane is 56x2Mat 8K granularity.

An FXC E1/T1 unit contains 4x2M (E1) / 1.5M (T1) interfaces. AnFXC RRI unit contains a maximum of 2 x 16x2M interfaces withFlexi Hopper outdoor units and 2 x 4x2M with Metro Hopperoutdoor units.

The Ultra Site BTS Hub cross-connection node contains at least one(master) FXC unit. Additionally, there may be three other FXCunits. Up to two radio outdoor units can be attached to an RRI card.

One FXC card (primarily located in the leftmost FXC card slot) actsas a clock master to the node. The rightmost FXC card slot can hostan FXC protecting clock master.


The whole combination is managed by the Nokia Ultra Site BTS

Hub Manager.

The Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub Manager handles the node

functionalities located on the master FXC card (including

synchronization, alarms, cross-connections, node settings, etc.).

Card-specific functionalities are provided by the card Managers as

extra menus added to the Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub Manager GUI

during run time.

The extra menus are displayed by clicking the card in the Equipment

window.

The Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub is managed using Nokia Q1

protocol.


User Interfaces: The user interface consists of a Menu Bar, child windows, a

Toolbar , a Status Bar and dialog boxes. The user interface

follows an object-oriented principle, where available operations

are provided by means of context sensitive pop-up menus. All

supported operations are also available in the menu bar.

Toolbar:

The toolbar provides shortcuts to commonly used menu options.

The toolbar is normally displayed below the menu bar, and it

cannot be overdrawn by the child windows.

The toolbar is fixed (cannot be floated). The functions of the

toolbar can also be executed by a menu command (from a pop-up

menu or the menu bar).


Menu Bar: The menu bar provides access to the most important Manager

features. Menu item availability depends on the following factors:

suitable object selection and topmost window menu item

support.

All menu items have a hint text that appears in the status bar.

Status Bar:

The status bar appears at the bottom of the application's main

window and the child windows cannot overdraw it. The status bar is

used to display context related messages. The messages displayed in

the status bar are the following types:

1. help message, which relates to the element currently pointed

at (a menu option or a button on the toolbar)

2. status message, which informs you about the completion of

an action,


Commissioning:

Commissioning Wizard:

Before a Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub node is taken into use the first

time, certain procedures must be performed to make the node

operational. The Commissioning Wizard guides you through the steps

of commissioning the node. Commissioning consists of three phases:

Installation, Testing and Configuring.

Installation:

In the installation phase the Commissioning Wizard asks the user if the

node should be reset. If the node is already commissioned, a message

box will ask for confirmation before applying default settings. If the

node is new, the default settings are applied without asking for

confirmation.

After this, the Commissioning Wizard logically installs the units in the

node.


Testing:

The testing phase ensures that the hardware is functioning properly.A cross-connection test is run in the Nokia Ultra Site BTS Hub nodeand the transmission units found in the node.

Configuration:

The configuration phase contains activities needed to make the nodefunctional and capable of relaying a payload/other signals.

Configuration with the help of the Commissioning Wizard requireseither:

1. a Node File or

2. an XML file containing a valid site configuration and a cross-connection file exportedfrom the Ultra Site BTS Hub Manager.


Getting Start:You can launch Ultra BTS Hub manager as

Start -> Nokia Applications -> Nokia Ultra Site BTS hub

Manger


After launching BTS hub manager go on file menu and click

on new. Following window will appear. Here you will observe

that FXCRRI is not there in menu bar.


Right click on RRI and install indoor unit, also right click on

OU1 and install outdoor unit. You will observe that a link has

been established between RRI card and OU1. you can install

more than one RRI card and OU.


Then follow the path as FXC RRI -> Identifications -> Unit..

Here give the name of the FXC RRI unit.


Follow the path FXC RRI -> Identifications -> Unit number

Give the name of outdoor unit.


Then define the operation mode by follow the path as FXC

RRI -> Settings -> Operation Mode.


Define the capacity of Indoor unit by following path as FXC RRI ->

Setting -> unit. Don’t forget to check on “power on” and “in use”.


Define the outdoor unit parameter by following path as FXC

RRI -> Settings -> Outdoor unit. Specify TX frequency, TX

Power, Modulation etc. Don’t forget to check on TX Power.


Specify synchronization by following path Configuration ->

Synchronization.


Define traffic according to the given plan by following path

Configuration -> Traffic manager. You can also launch traffic

manager from tool bar directly.
