1 Overview
1.1 PresentationThis scenario allows you to modify:
The Ater interface on an Ater Mux, or
The Gb interface from FR to IP and reverse, or
The Gb interface on a bearer channel, or
The radio interface on a cell.
Each interface re-configuration can be performed independently of the othersand several times, if several PCMs, bearer channels and cells are concerned.
The method applies to both the 9135 MFS and 9130 MFS Evolution. Pleasenote that in this document, the generic name MFS is used when a task appliesto both the 9135 MFS and 9130 MFS Evolution. When a task is intended foronly one type of MFS, the MFS type is clearly specified.
The different possible reconfigurations are:
Ater Mux reconfiguration:
Add GSL
Remove GSL
Increase GPRS granularity
Decrease GPRS granularity (ratio > 0%)
Delete GPRS granularity (ratio = 0%).
Gb interface reconfiguration:
Add NSE, NS-VC, SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT, PVC, bearer channel (FR-BC)
Remove NSE, NS-VC, SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT, PVC, bearer channel
Modify NS-VC, SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT, PVC, bearer channel (FR-BC).
Change the Gb interface transport mode:
From FR to IP
From IP to FR.
Radio interface reconfiguration:
GPRS parameters setting and PDCH activation on one cell to set GPRS
service on the cell
GPRS parameters modification, PDCH parameters modification on celland GPRS unlock on cell
PDCH deactivation on one cell to remove GPRS service on the cell.
According to the engineering rules:
The number of Ater Mux (BSC-MFS link) connected to the:
9135 MFS cannot be more than 8 links per GPU, and these links cannotbe connected to ports 8 to 15 of the GPU
9130 MFS Evolution cannot be more than 8 links per GPU.
10 / 52 3BK 17430 0951 RJZZA Ed.10
1 Overview
Maximum of 6 GPU boards per BSC
Ater Mux 1,2,7,8,13,14 can not be dedicated GPRS; they must go through
the TC because they carry the Q1,N7 and X25
Ater Mux that supports N7 cannot be dedicated GPRS.

C2.2: Create a GSL.
C3: Gb reconfiguration
C3.1: Delete Gb resources
C3.2: Create Gb resources
C3.3: Modify Gb resources.
C4: Radio reconfiguration
C4.1: Declare GPRS on a new cell
C4.2: Delete GPRS on a cell
C4.3: Modify GPRS on a cell.
C5: Change Gb interface
C5.1: Change from Gb over FR to Gb over IP static
C5.2: Change from Gb over FR to Gb over IP dynamic
C5.3: Change from Gb over IP static to Gb over IP dynamic
C5.4: Change from Gb over IP dynamic to Gb over IP static
C5.5: Change from Gb over IP (static or dynamic) to Gb over FR.
1.1.2 Options
The following option applies in C1.1 and C1.3:
O1: Call traffic is shutdown (smoothly stopped) on all the Ater of the AterMux before increasing GPRS on it.
The following option applies in C5.1, C5.2 and C5.5:
O2: Create a new NSEI.
1.1.3 Restrictions
This method does not cover deleting the last GSL on the GPU/GP or onthe BSS.

1.2 Preparation
1.2.1 Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
The BSS and the MFS are in service
The new PCM links (if needed) are installed
Links between the OMC-R and the MFS/BSC are available.
In case of Gb over IP the following prerequisites apply:
For 9135 MFS, replace existing hubs / switch with 1Gigabit / VLAN capable
switch (Alcatel Lucent Omniswitch 6224), use 9135 MFS MaintenanceHandbook.
For 9130 MFS Evolution, if necessary, move from 2 LANS O&M to 1 LAN
O&M, use 9130 MFS Evolution Maintenance Handbook.
Ensure that the MFS software is in validated state.
Install and configure a new router to be used for telecom. Connect the new
router with the MFS&IP network
Customer bul files with the corresponding parameters are downloaded tothe MFS.Make sure that the ’MFS start IP address’ parameter is defined in customerbul files.
The Create New VLAN task from 9130 MFS Evolution Maintenance
Handbook has been performed before changing the transport mode to IP.
Gb over IP is supported on:
9130 Evolution MFS
9135 MFS with DS10 control station equipped with Alcatel-LucentOmniStack LS 6224 switches
Before performing the change from GboFR to GboIP check the MFS
synchronization link.
If the MFS synchronization is made through the link with SGSN then thesynchronization should be changed as follows:
for MFS connected to the 9130 BSC Evolution: BSC has the capability toretrieve synchronization from the Ater packet TDM links, and synchronize
the MFS through the Ater packet TDM links
for MFS connected to the 9120 BSC: a TDM link between the TC and
the MFS .

2.3.2.1 C3.1: Delete Gb ResourcesThis section describes how to delete the NSE andNS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT.
When an NSE is deleted, all the associated NS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINTare deleted. When the NS-VC is deleted, the PVC and bearer channelare implicitly deleted. To delete a NS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT, it mustbe previously locked. If it is the last NS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT of theGPU/GP (multi-GPU/multi-GP), all the cells associated with the associatedNSE must be locked. If it is the last NS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT of theBSS, the GPRS on the BSS must be previously locked. All these actionsmust be performed in synchronization with the SGSN because the NSEand NS-VC/SGSN_IP_ENDPOINT, PVC, FR-BC are deleted separately onthe MFS side and the SGSN side .

2.4 Reverse ProcedureUse this procedure to reverse the network modifications described in thisscenario.
The reverse procedure to apply depends on the modifications that wereperformed:
For Ater Mux reconfiguration:
If the GSL was deleted, create it again using C2.2: Create GSL on
Ater Mux (Section 2.3.3.1)
If the GSL was created, delete it usingC2.1: Delete GSL on Ater Mux
(Section 2.3.3.2)
If the GPRS granularity was increased, use C1.4: Only Decrease GPRSon Ater Mux (Section 2.3.3.4) or C1.2, O1: Decrease GPRS with GSL
Modification (Section 2.3.3.7), or delete GPRS granularity using C1.5:
Delete GPRS on Ater Mux (Section 2.3.3.5)
If the GPRS granularity was decreased, increase it using C1.1, O1:Increase GPRS with GSL Modification (Section 2.3.3.6).
For Gb interface reconfiguration:
If Gb resources were deleted, create them using C3.2: Create GbResources (Section 2.3.2.2)
If Gb resources were created, delete them using C3.1: Delete Gb
Resources (Section 2.3.2.1)
If Gb resources were modified, modify them using C1.2, C1.4, C1.5,
C3.3: Modify Gb Resources (Section 2.3.2.3).
For radio interface reconfiguration:
If GPRS radio resources were deleted, recreate them using RecreateDeleted GPRS Radio Resources (Section 2.4.1)
If GPRS radio resources were created, delete them using Delete CreatedGPRS Radio Resources (Section 2.4.2)
If GPRS radio resources were modified, modify them using Set Old
Values on Modified GPRS Radio Resources (Section 2.4.3).
For changing the Gb interface:
From IP (static or dynamic)to FR use case C5.5 from section C5:
Change Gb interface (Section 2.3.2.4)
From IP dynamic to IP static use case C5.4 from section C5: Change Gb
interface (Section 2.3.2.4)
