Introduction to the RNC LMT

About This Chapter

This describes the definition and functions of the LMT, the topology of the RNC operating system, and the computer configuration requirements for LMT installation.

2.1 Definitions of the LMT

When using the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT), you need to know the following concepts: LMT, LMT PC, and LMT application.

2.2 Functions of the RNC LMT

The RNC OM system functions in client/server mode. The LMT acts as a client, and the Back Administration Module (BAM) acts as the server.

2.3 RNC OM Networking

The RNC OM networking provides operation and maintenance for the RNC and NodeB.

2.4 Computer Requirements of the LMT

The computer requirements are categorized into the following: hardware requirements, software requirements, and communication capability requirements.

2.1 Definitions of the LMT

When using the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT), you need to know the following concepts: LMT, LMT PC, and LMT application.

LMT

The LMT is a logical concept. It refers to the operation and maintenance (OM) terminal installed with the Huawei Local Maintenance Terminal software group and connected to the actual OM network of the related NE. You can use the LMT to operate and maintain an NE.

LMT PC

The LMT PC is the hardware of the LMT. It refers to the computer to be installed with the LMT application.

LMT Application

The LMT application refers to the Huawei proprietary application, the Huawei Local Maintenance Terminal software group, which is installed on the LMT PC.

2.2 Functions of the RNC LMT

The RNC OM system functions in client/server mode. The LMT acts as a client, and the Back Administration Module (BAM) acts as the server.

The LMT communicates with the BAM through a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN). As an operating terminal, the LMT provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for the operation and maintenance of the RNC equipment. On the LMT, you can run the MML commands, query execution results, trace messages, query alarms, and collect performance statistics.

2.3 RNC OM Networking

The RNC OM networking provides operation and maintenance for the RNC and NodeB.

Figure 2-1 RNC OM networking

As shown in Figure 2-1, either local or remote maintenance is applicable to the RNC and NodeB. Local maintenance is performed on the LMT, and remote maintenance is performed through the OM network. The RNC-NodeB OM channel is configurable. Through the OM channel, remote maintenance of the NodeB can be performed on the Network Management System (NMS), M2000, or NodeB LMT.

2.4 Computer Requirements of the LMT

The computer requirements are categorized into the following: hardware requirements, software requirements, and communication capability requirements.
