Relationship
Relationship between Board and Function

It is very important to be able to establish this relationship.
In case of alarms on a function, which board can be suspected.
In case of board replacement, what are the affected functions.
A function can be managed by several boards.

A board can manage several functions.
Two ways to get relationship between boards and functions:
From HW Equipment View a double-click on a board makes appear related
functions highlighted.
From GSM Functional View a double-click on a function makes appear
related boards highlighted.

Supervision Concept

Supervision Concept
Supervision Concept
To supervise the network the Current Alarm List should be open during the whole OMC-R
session. To get a quick information about the alarm state the operator has to define sublists
for important events like X.25, all critical alarms, impact on telecom function ...
A new alarm appears from the BSS.

Supervision Concept
Open the menu

Navigation. Select
Open the Sublist. External Application.
Select the new alarm.

Supervision Concept
The operator can also adapt the RNUSM to display the impact on the telecom.
He can define filter to get a quick overview about the situation in the network.

BSC Alerter

BSC Alerter
There are four different Alerter Types:
Alerter 1: Abnormal Low Traffic on SDCCH

compared to other BSS cells
(Problem e.g.: no call handling activities in the cell)
Alerter 2: Inconsistency in terrestrial A-channel states

(Problem e.g.: call releases due to network failure)
Alerter 3: Abnormal behavior of TCH channel

(average TCH occupancy time too long)
(Problem e.g.: "hanging calls")
Alerter 4: Abnormal behavior of TCH channel

(average TCH occupancy time too short)
(Problem e.g.: receiver failures)
