Basic NodeB (BTS 3900 & DBS 3900) MML commands

Note: For more information on MML commands, please refer to LMT help topics.

1) List NE Software Version

- LST SOFTWARE

Use this command to list the information of NE software and patch, including version number and whether it is available and active. The running version is circle in red as shown below.

2) List NE Running Version - LST VER

Use this command to list the information of active NodeB versions, including current software version (format: NodeB model + NE version), current software version status, hardware version and current BootROM version. The current software version status can be Normal or Fractional. Normal indicates the software versions of all the boards are active. Fractional indicates that some of the board software versions do not match the version configuration table, and there is the "Board Version Mismatch" alarm.

3) List Site -LST SITE

Use this command to list the properties of sites, including site no. and site name.

4) List Local Cell Configuration - LST LOCELL

Use this command to list the summarized information of the local cells and detailed information of the specified local cell by query mode.

5) Display Local Cell Status - DSP LOCELL

Use this command to display the status of a specified local cell and logical cell or all ones, diversity characteristic, and cell setup date.

6) Display VSWR - DSP VSWR

Use this command to display the WRFU/RRU VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio).

7) Block Local Cell - BLK LOCELL

Use this command to block a specified or all the local cells. User can specify the cell ID to be blocked.

Note: Execute this command will cause service interruption.

8) Unblock Local Cell - UBL LOCELL

Use this command to unblock a specified or all the local cells.

9) Display IUBCP State - DSP IUBCP

Use this command to display the status of all the MASTER/SLAVE NCPs/CCPs and the use of these ports. User can use this command to check NodeB to RNC control plane connections. The NCP and CCP port status should be normal, as shown picture below.

10)

Display IP Path Status - DSP IPPATH

Use this command to display the status of IP Path. IP paths are used for user plane connection between RNC and NodeB.

11)List IP Path - LST IPPATH

Use this command to list all the configured IP paths. User can query RNC and NodeB service ip address by this command.

12)

PING - PING

You can use PING to check the network connections and the network quality. The system sends a PING request to the destination. If the connection to the destination network is good, the host computer of the destination responses to the source host computer upon receiving the PING request. The output of PING is the PING response from the destination. If no response is received within the limit, the output is "Request time out". Otherwise it outputs the message size in bytes, message number, TTL, and response time. The final statistics include the number of sent messages, number of received messages, percentage of the non-response messages, and the minimum, maximum and average response time.

Destination IP address = RNC Ip address Source IP address = NodeB Ip address

Example of PING result is shown on figure above.

13)

Reset Board RST BRD

Use this command to reset board. User need to specify subrack number and slot number. Note: Reset board may cause service interruption. Resetting WMPT board may cause the NodeB to reset. To reset NodeB, use command RST NodeB

14)

List OM Channel - LST OMCH

Use this command to list data of all the remote OM channels. If there is no OM channel configured yet, the return value is null. User can check the configured M2000 server IP address, as shown by figure below.

15)

List IP Route - LST IPRT

User can query the configured routes on NodeB by using this command.
