1.3 Benefits
Open Structure Allowing for Smooth Evolution
iManager U2000 MBB network management system is a future-proof solution for managing
mobile networks. It provides a centralized network management platform for supporting
telecom operators in their long-term network evolution and shielding the differences between
various network technologies. The U2000 focuses on the continuous efforts of telecom
operators toward better network OM and retains the OM experience of previous network
management systems.
The U2000 is a centralized wireless network management platform. The U2000 server
software consists of the main version software and mediation software. The main version
software implements system functions, and the mediation software is used for the adaptation
of different NE interfaces. The U2000 can manage new NEs after the corresponding
mediation software is installed. The U2000 adopts an open structure so that it can manage the
eRelay, SingleDAS, CN, NGN, STP, IMS, and radio networks of various technologies, such
as GSM, WCDMA, and LTE. In addition, the U2000 can evolve accordingly when the
network evolves.
The U2000 provides the Co-control BTS management solution to manage the NE type of
Co-MPT base station. This operates and maintains GBTS, NodeB, and eNodeB in a
centralized manner, improving SingleRAN OM efficiency.
The U2000 provides standard CORBA, SNMP, file, and alarm streaming interfaces. In
addition, the U2000 allows for interoperability with other systems provided by HP, Aircom,
IBM, Inspur, Remedy, Vallent, Mycom, and Bright Oceans.
Reduced OPEX
The Configuration Management Express (CME), a radio configuration solution, provides
powerful functions through wizards, templates, and GUIs. It enables users to plan
configuration items, check the data of the entire network, and compare cell configuration data
against the baseline cell. This facilitates data configuration for the entire radio access network.
The CME enables users to create sites in batches remotely, expand network capacity quickly,
optimize network efficiently, and reparent base stations easily. This improves the
configuration efficiency and accuracy.
The iSStar enhancement maintenance platform enables OM engineers to customize the
service process by editing programs. With it, the U2000 can automatically handle OM tasks in
batches.
In addition, the U2000 provides a series of featured functions, including a network health
check, remote and batch upgrade of NEs, automatic base station planning, automatic

2.1 Overview
The U2000 system works in client/server (C/S) mode.
The U2000 software consists of the client software, server software, and NE mediation
software. The client software runs on the U2000 client, and the server software and mediation
software run on the U2000 server.
This chapter describes the hardware and software structures of the U2000 system.
Hardware Description
The U2000 server supports multiple hardware platforms. This section describes the ATAE
cluster system. The hardware of the ATAE cluster system comprises the cabinet, ATAE
subracks, boards, and disk arrays, as shown in Figure 2-2.
An ATAE subrack consists of components with different functions. Boards in the subrack
communicate with one another through the backplane to function as an independent work
unit.
3 Subrack It is installed at the bottom of the ATAE subrack and manages all
management ATAE hardware devices. It provides functions, such as device
module management, event management, asset management, power
management, remote maintenance, configuration recovery, energy
saving, and power supply management.
Figure 2-4 shows the appearance of front and rear boards for each type.
File interface
The U2000 saves alarm data, performance data, configuration data, inventory data, and
LTE tracing data as files. Through the file interface, the NMS obtains and processes
these files.
The NMS can use the configuration file interface to obtain configuration data from the
U2000. In addition, after the CME is installed, the configuration file interface can be
used to integrate the data planning tools of telecom operators into the U2000. In that way,
data planning, modification, and activation are automatically performed through the
configuration file interface. The configuration file interface is applicable to OM
scenarios, such as site creation, site relocation, network parameter optimization, and the
optimization of neighboring cell relationships.
Alarm streaming interface
The U2000 forwards NE alarms to the NMS in the form of character stream in real time.
The NMS can actively obtain the list of active alarms from the U2000.
SNMP interface
Through the SNMP alarm interface, the U2000 forwards alarms to the NMS for handling
in real time. The SNMP interface supports the SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3
protocols.
XML interface
Complying with the TMF MTOSI 2.0 series standards, the XML NBI enables the U2000
to provide unified alarm, performance, inventory, service provisioning, diagnostic test,
and protection group management on transport and IP equipment for OSSs.
MML transparent transmission interface
The MML transparent transmission interface serves as a proxy for transferring MML
commands between the NMS and NEs. With this interface, the NMS can operate and
maintain the related NEs using MML commands.
Syslog interface
The U2000 forwards operating system logs, U2000 logs, and NE logs using the Syslog
protocol.
LDAP user management interface
This interface complies with LDAP. Through this interface, the security management
system provided by a third party can create, modify, delete, and query Huawei OSS
systems accounts.
LDAP user authentication interface
This interface supports the account authentication based on LDAP as well as remote
authentication of user names and passwords.
RADIUS user authentication interface
This interface supports the account authentication based on RADIUS as well as remote
authentication of user names and passwords.
Northbound line test interface
The line test system connects to the NEs managed by the U2000 server through the
northbound interfaces for line test. In this way, the line test system works with the NEs
to automatically handle and manage subscriber complaints, conduct test, and rectify
faults.
TL1 northbound interface
The TL1 northbound interface of the U2000 is used to interconnect the EMS with the
OSS. By using the TL1 northbound interface, the OSS or NMS can provide services and
perform OM operations for integrated access devices (IADs), multimedia terminals,
voice subscribers, basic rate access (BRA) subscribers, primary rate adaptation (PRA)
subscribers, and multimedia subscribers. In addition, the OSS or NMS manages NGN
resources and services of the SHLR, AGCF and SoftX3000 by using the TL1 northbound
interface. NEs report notification messages to the OSS or NMS by using the TL1
northbound interface of the U2000.
3.1 Overview
The U2000 provides various OM solutions for telecom operators to meet the requirements of
network deployment, network monitoring, network adjustment, and service management.
Telecom operators can select proper U2000 systems as required.
3.2 OM Solutions
The U2000 provides various OM solutions based on different hardware platforms. Table 3-1
describes whether the hardware platforms support these OM solutions.

PC
Server
ATAE ATAE The solution is based on the ATAE platform and uses the
cluster cluster system comprising boards. It can centrally manage
solution a large-scale network, and supports the centralized
deployment of the U2000 (including the Trace Server),
PRS, and Nastar (including the eSAU). The ATAE cluster
solution helps telecom operators greatly reduce energy
consumption and save equipment room space. It also helps
telecom operators reduce CAPEX and improve
competitiveness through centralized hardware monitoring
and maintenance.
ATAE The ATAE cluster remote HA system has the same
cluster features as those of the ATAE cluster solution. It can
remote HA also effectively reduce the possible losses caused by power
system failures, fires, and earthquakes and minimizes the duration
of U2000 service interruption caused by software or
hardware faults. This improves the availability of the
U2000 and the reliability of the network.
ATAE-based The emergency system is a backup of the primary system.
emergency If the primary system fails to provide services properly, the
system emergency system can provide basic network management
services.
The ATAE-based emergency system guarantees the high
reliability of the ATAE cluster. During a failover or
upgrade of the ATAE cluster, the emergency system can
significantly reduce service disruption time, keep
monitoring services to the maximum extent, and enhance
system robustness.
Sun Sun-based The Sun-based SLS system comprises multiple servers. It
SLS system uses one set of OSS to centrally manage devices on the
entire network and allows for central management of
large-scale networks. This significantly reduces the
number of OSSs, required workload, and OM costs.
Sun-based The Sun-based remote HA system provides the same
remote HA software and hardware redundancy as that of the HA
system system. It can also effectively reduce the possible losses
caused by power failures, earthquakes, fires, wars,
tsunamis, and mudflows. Remote protection is
implemented on both of the U2000 servers and the disaster
recovery capability of the U2000 is improved.

master, four slave, and one standby) and fix database boards (one
master, three slave, and one standby).
2000 equivalent NEs solution: seven U2000 service boards (one
master, five slave, and one standby) and six database boards (one
master, four slave, and one standby).
The Sybase database shares the standby board with the U2000
system.
Two switching boards function as switches.
Trace Server boards must be configured when the U2000 manages
NEs of the LTE network.
Disk array Other service boards except the OSMU use the disk array as a storage
device.
Table 3-4 describes the devices in the ATAE cluster remote HA system in Figure 3-2.
Device Description

server. If the master server or a slave server becomes unavailable, the
services carried by the master or slave server are switched over to the
standby server through the cluster software.
Disk array The disk array provides reliable storage for the master and slave
servers. When an exception occurs on the master server or on a slave
server, the cluster software mounts the disk array to the standby
server.
HA System
Huawei provides a U2000 high availability (HA) system where services are automatically
switched over from the active server to the standby server when an exception occurs in the
active server. In this way, the reliability of the U2000 system is improved.
The active and standby servers are located at the same place to constitute an HA system
through the cluster software. The active and standby servers communicate with each other on
a local area network (LAN) and access the same disk array. Figure 3-6 shows the physical
structure of a U2000 HA system.
Device Description
Active server The active server functions as the U2000 system active server. It runs
the U2000 server software. The active server, together with the
standby server, performs resource monitoring and service switchover
through the cluster software.
Standby server The standby server functions as a backup for the active server. When
the active server becomes unavailable, the resources carried by the
active server are switched over to the standby server through the
cluster software.
Disk array Two disk arrays, one of which is the mirror of the other, provide
reliable storage space. When an exception occurs on the active server,
the cluster software mounts the disk arrays to the standby server.
Device Description

server in the primary system. When the server in the primary system
becomes unavailable, the carried services are manually switched over
to the server in the emergency system.
Disk array The disk array provides the server with reliable storage.
Low-Cost Solution
The U2000 provides a low-cost solution, which uses the single-server system based on the
HUAWEI platform to manage IMS, eRelay or SingleDAS networks. This solution meets
users' demands for routine network OM operations. In addition, it helps operators or users to
reduce their purchase cost. For example, the Sun-based single-server system uses disk arrays.
However, the single-server system based on the HUAWEI platform uses PC server and does
not need disk arrays.
General Topology Users can use this function to construct and manage the
management topology of the entire network, query the networking and
running status of NEs, and monitor the running status of the
entire network in real time.
Fault Users can use this function to monitor, query, and collect
management statistics of network alarms or events, and quickly detect,
locate, and rectify network or device faults.
Configuration Users can use this function to display NE configuration
management information and monitor NE resource status.
Performance Users can use this function to manage performance data and
management effectively evaluate the operation network, ensuring the
network QoS.
Security Users can use this function to control the U2000 operation
management rights, and record the running status and operations of the
U2000, ensuring system security.
4 Configuration
The U2000 system can be installed on different types of servers. Telecom operators can select
appropriate servers according to the number of managed NEs.
Table 4-1 describes a typical server configuration.
The single-server system based on the HUAWEI platform manages only IMS/eRelay/SingleDAS
network devices.
If the U2000 system needs to provide more advanced management functions for wireless bearer
network management featrue, the management components of the MBB backhaul devices are
deployed on one independent ATAE board.

6 Technical Specifications
6.1 Overview
This chapter describes the following system specifications:
Management capability
Reliability specifications
Compliant safety standards
EMC specifications
Environmental requirements
The management capability of an SLS system depends on the number of servers. Assume that
the management capability of one single server is 1, the total management capability is the
result of multiplying 1 by a coefficient if another server is added. This coefficient varies
according to the number of added servers. Table 6-2 shows an example of the management
capability of the full configuration M5000 server.
Table 6-2 Estimation of the management capability on NEs in the Sun SLS system (M5000)
The management capability of the ATAE cluster system depends on the number of boards in
use. The ATAE cluster system can manage a maximum of 2000 equivalent NEs.
The number of equivalent NEs is determined by the following factors:
Physical NE type and version: Different NE types and versions use different amounts of
U2000 resources. As a result, the number of equivalent NEs converted varies according
to the NE type.
Number of measurement counters: KPI or all counters can be set to measure an NE's
performance. In either scenario, the required amount of U2000 hardware resources is
different. Therefore, the number of measurement counters has an impact on the
equivalent NE conversion.
Performance statistical period: Each NE reports performance data to the U2000 at certain
intervals. Processing data reported every 60 minutes requires different amount of U2000
hardware resources from that reported every 15 minutes.
The number of equivalent NEs for the same type of NEs varies according to performance
measurement requirements of users. For details, see the table of calculating equivalent NEs in
iManager U2000 V200R014 Configuration Principles. You can contact Huawei technical
support to obtain this document. You can ask Huawei engineers to analyze and calculate the
number of equivalent NEs for the measurement unavailable in the table.
