Settings of VIP Signaling Tracing Switch
This tab sets the VIP signaling tracing switch. For details, see Figure 4-4.
SN Item Description
(1) NE navigation tree You can select NEs to set VIP signaling tracing in the NE navigation tree.
NOTE
Because you select NEs in area (2) and the system takes the selection in area (2) in priority, you need not select NEs in this area.
(2) Button area By clicking ON, select VIP subscribers and NEs to
set VIP signaling tracing. After you click Confirm, the system enables the VIP signaling tracing switch for selected NEs.
After you click OFF, the system disables the VIP signaling tracing switch for selected NEs.
(3) VIP signaling tracing
NE list area
The basic information about NEs for which you have set VIP signaling tracing is displayed in a list.
TIP
You can select multiple records by holding down Ctrl.
(4) Operation information
list area
This area displays the result of enabling or disabling VIP signaling tracing for NEs.
(5) Area for displaying
data source status icons
Icons show the switch status of the data source. For details, see Table 4-4.
VIP Signaling Tracing Switch Status on the Current Network
This tab displays the VIP signaling tracing switch status of NEs on the current network. For details, see Figure 4-5.
SN Item Description
(1) NE navigation tree You can select NEs to query in the NE navigation tree.
NOTE
If you have selected NEs in VIP Signaling Tracing Setting, you do not need to select the NEs again in the NE navigation tree.
(2) Button area By clicking Query, you can query the VIP signaling
tracing switch status of each NE on the current network.
(3) VIP signaling tracing
NE list area
The data source switch status of NEs for which you have set VIP signaling tracing on the live network is displayed in a list.
TIP
You can select multiple records by holding down Ctrl.
(4) Operation information
list area
This area displays the result of querying the data source switch.
(5) Area for displaying
data source status icons
Icons show the switch status of the data source. For details, see Table 4-4.
Table 4-4 Data source switch status Icon State Description
ON The data source switch of an NE on the current network is set to ON for analysis by the Nastar.
OFF The data source switch of an NE on the current network is set to OFF. Therefore, the Nastar cannot perform analysis.
Unkno wn
The data source switch of an NE on the current network is unknown. The Nastar cannot detect the data source status of the NE. The possible causes are as follows:
l The communication between the Nastar and the M2000/OMC is abnormal.
l The communication between the M2000/OMC and NEs is abnormal. l NEs are not in normal running status. For example, NEs are being
upgraded or have been shut down. Unsup
ported
The Nastar does not display the data source switch status of an NE on the current network. For example, if an NE is of the base station controller (BSC) level but the data source switch on the current network supports only objects at the cell level, the data source switch status of the NE is displayed as Unsupported.

Appendix: MML Command Reference
This section describes the MML commands involved when the Nastar implements the GSM data source subscription function or delivers E2E tasks. For details about the MML commands, see the Nastar Data Source Subscription MML Command List Overview of GSM.6
GSM MR Analysis
About This Chapter
The GSM MR analysis function enables you to obtain GSM measurement report (MR) analysis data, create GSM MR analysis tasks, query GSM MR analysis results, and export GSM MR analysis reports from the Nastar. Through this function, the Nastar directly displays radio link information and provides analysis of and suggestions on wireless network problems for quickly locating problems.
