Module Objectives

At the end of the module, the participant will be able to:

Sketch a BSS Managed Object Hierarchy

Look up the parameters at each level, in the parameter dictionary
Identify parameter value ranges and default settings
Find the changes to objects and parameters, that occur with each
BSS software release

Multiplicity

Description

With this parameter you define the minimum power level an MS has to receive before it is allowed to
access the cell.

Additional information

Range and step

-110...-47 dBm, step 1 dBm

Formula for getting internal value

internal_value = (gui_value + 110)

BSS14 Compatibility Matrix

Base on BSS14 release is 3GPP Release 7 September.

BSS14 Software release compatible to individual network

element (NE) releases.
It consist of
BSC S14, MetroSite CXM7, UltraSite CX7, and FlexiEDGE
EP3

And supported by NE releases:

NetAct OSS5.1 CD set 3, MSC M14.4, MGW U4.2 and SGSN
SG7
CD2

The basic BSC S14 software release will be compatible

with Talk Family DF7 BTS software release

BSC SW release S13 will be the last compatible software

level for the InSite BTS SW. Therefore,
no support
of
No supported
and
BSS14 is foreseen.
incompatible here
