BoQ Bill of Quantity Bill of Quantity

Package License Package License The package license means that in the Configurator, the numbers of licenses in many NEs are quoted in a package and the package is transmitted to the FNO. The FNO disassembles the required number of licenses for each NE from the license package.

At present, only the licenses for BTSs outside China use the package license mode. That is, the overseas Configurator integrates the licenses for BTSs in multiple controllers into a package before delivery. The number of licenses corresponding to a controller is disassembled from the package license of the BTS on the FNO according to the network planning.

3 Overview

3.1 License Control Mechanism

3.1.1 License ModeThe BSC6900 can work in GO, UO, or GU mode.

The BSC6900 license files can also be in GO, UO, or GU mode. If the GO feature sections (LGMIBA and LGMIBA2) are not contained in the license file, it is a UO license. If the UO feature section (RNCBASIC) is not contained, it is a GO license. If both the GO and UO feature sections are contained, it is a GU license. The GU feature section (GUSPEC) is irrelevant to the mode of the license file.

The license file mode must be consistent with the system operation mode. Otherwise, the license file cannot be activated.

3.1.2 License Control ModeThe license of the GO feature can be controlled based on the BSC-level switch. The resources can be controlled based on the BTS, carrier, cell, link, and RRU module.

The license of the UO feature can be controlled based on the RNC-level switch. The resources can be controlled based on the PS total user traffic, voice traffic, number of PS activated users, HSDPA traffic, HSUPA traffic, MBMS traffic, cell, and number of PTT activated users.

3.1.3 License Time ControlIf the license expires, the system generates an alarm to prompt the user to apply for a new license. The license is still valid within 60 days after the deadline. During this period, if a new license is activated, the system works based on the new license. After 60 days, the system has no license and reports an alarm, prompting the user to apply for a new license.

3.1.4 Floating License MechanismThe floating license is tailed for this situation in which the number of used resources exceeds the number of resources specified in the license file. The floating license allows values of resource control items to fluctuate within a certain range to solve the problem that the number of used resources is greater than the number of resources specified in the license file within a short period.


Ltd

Page 8 of 64


License Forbid Threshold(%) is fixed to 115%. License Relieve Forbid Threshold(%) is fixed to 100%. License Alarm Threshold is set to 90%–99%. License Resume Alarm Threshold(%) is set to 70%–95%.

3.1.5 Emergency LicenseTo prevent bursty traffic caused by natural disasters, an emergency license can be enabled to allow the BSC6900 to run with its maximum hardware capability. The emergency license can be activated only three times for each R version and it is valid only in seven days since it is enabled. Since the emergency license can be activated only 3 times for each R version, the GTS engineers need to negotiate with customers on enabling the emergency license. If the emergency license is requested, ask the operator to enable the license.

The emergency license can be activated only for commercial system which is normal or protected mode.

3.1.6 License Revoking (from R12 Onwards)The license revoking command is applicable to the following scenarios:

1. License self-adjustment

2. Change of the license ESN

3. License return

Precautions on license revoking are as follows:

1. Once the license revoking command is executed, the license is revoked and the data cannot be restored. Also, this command imposes serious impacts on the system. Run this command with caution.

2. The license revoking command is not applicable to the case that the commissioning license is used or no license is used.

3. The revoked license file on the NE cannot be activated again.

4. If a license is revoked on the NE, the system sends a trial run alarm. That is, the license is still valid within 60 days since it is revoked. A new license must be applied within 60 days. Otherwise, the system has no license after 60 days and the services on the NE will be disrupted.

5. The revoking operation of the license file must be performed on the source equipment. After the source equipment performed, whether to revoke the license file on other equipment is determined by GTS according to the carrier loyalty.

3.1.7 Commissioning License (Add restriction from R12 Onwards)

The commissioning license is a license file that is valid within a specific period and whose authentication type is Demo. Commissioning licenses can be classified into the following types:

Commissioning license loaded for the first time. It is a Demo license where the ESN is ANY and the validity period is six months. This type of license file is used by GTS engineers during NE commissioning. It can only be activated on an NE using a non-commercial license file, not on an NE loaded with a commercial license. Once this type of license is applied, it can be loaded on any NE within the validity period regardless of the ESN. If the license will expire or has expired, you need to apply for the following temporary license for a specific ESN.


Ltd

Page 9 of 64


License for a specific ESN, with a validity period of 90 days. This type of license can be activated many times on the NE. Through the self-application process, the license can be applied for each ESN three times. Through the approval process, the license can be applied many times for each.

License for a specific ESN, with a validity period of seven days. This type of license can be activated many times on the NE. It can be applied many times only through the self-application process. The license is used to deal with an emergency and takes effect as of the date of application.

From R12 Onwards, restrictions of using the commissioning license on the NE whose ESN is ANY are as follows:

1. If the commercial license file is activated on the NE, the commissioning license file fails to be activated on the NE.

2. If the commercial license expires on the NE, the commissioning license file fails to be activated on the NE whether the system enters the trial operation period or has no license.

3. After the upgrade from R12 to a later version, the NE still uses the commercial license file of R12, instead of the new license file. The commissioning license file fails to be activated on the NE.

4. Due to restrictions of old versions, the commissioning license can be activated on the NE that is upgraded to R12 from R11 or earlier.

3.1.8 Trial License (from R12 Onwards)After using the trial license on an NE for a period, the operator determines whether to purchase the license. The trail license is valid within three months. The permanent license has no time limit.

The trial license file involves the existing commercial feature sections and trial feature sections. The commercial feature section is always valid and trial feature section is valid only within a specified period. The trial feature can be used within 60 days after its expiration.

The trial license is applied through the commercial license application workflow for exceptional cases based on the original commercial license. After the trial license is activated, it will replace the original commercial license. The permanent control items included in the trial license must be consistent with those included in the commercial license, which provides an important basis for the LDC to approve the trial license.

Restrictions on using the trial license are as follows:

1. The trial license only allows the operators to try new features that are not purchased. Capacity expansion for features that are purchased is not allowed.

2. The trial license only allows the operators to activate value-added features, not the basic software package (see the license application template).

3. Currently, the trial license only supports one trial feature section. All trial features expire on the same day. For example, if a device has tried feature A, if the device wants to try feature B before feature A expires, feature A and feature B must be applied at the same time and the expiry date must be the same. If the device wants to continue trying feature B after feature A expires, only trial for feature B can be applied.

4. The trial license is a temporary data in the FNO system. Therefore, the GTS should keep the file carefully after obtaining the license file. In addition, the GTS users cannot query the applied license files in the FNO system. If the trial license file is lost, re-apply for the trial license.


Ltd

Page 10 of 64


5. The trial license cannot be adjusted, merged, or returned. In the case of capacity adjustment, capacity expansion, and upgrade, the original permanent license for the current network should be used.

6. After the network is adjusted, expanded, and upgraded, to continue to use the feature, the customer needs to re-apply for the trial license.

3.2 License Distribution SystemThe license distribution system is composed of the FNO, License Application Workflow, and License Tool. For details on each subsystem, see the online help of each subsystem.

FNO: It is used to generate and distribute license keys based on orders and manage license data. Visit http://license.huawei.com to log in to the FNO.

License Application Workflow: It is used to submit and approve commercial and non-commercial license applications in exceptional circumstances. Visit the workflow on the following website:

4 Preparations

4.1 Applying for an FNO AccountYou can log in to the FNO with the user name and password in the CHINA domain. If you do not have login rights, visit http://license.huawei.com and click Register your account? on the login page to apply for an FNO account, as shown in the following figure.

The application workflow is for applying for the IT Account & Privilege rights (http://w3.huawei.com/dominoapp/oaf01/index.nsf/index?openform&App=itisr). For details, see the description in the workflow.

4.2 Preparing an ESN

4.2.1 GO ModeThe ESN can be generated by using the Originating Signaling Point Code (OPC) with index 0 and the default Destination Signaling Point Code (DPC) of the primary operator.

The following commands can be used to generate the ESN:

ADD OPC: NAME="FOPC", SPX=0, NI=NAT, SPCBITS=BIT14, SPDF=WNF, SPC=1;


Ltd

Page 13 of 64

http://w3.huawei.com/dominoapp/oaf01/index.nsf/index?openform&App=itisr

MSCPOOLALLOW=NO, SGSNPOOLALLOW=NO;

ADD GCNNODE: CNNODEIDX=0, DPC=2, DPCGIDX=0, OpName="GMainOp", MNC="07", CNID=0,

DFDPC=YES;

The OPC must be bound with an activated cell in which the traffic volume is generated each 24 hours. Otherwise, the system regards the OPC invalid, and then enters the trail period and reports an alarm after the check every night.

4.2.2 UO/GU ModeThe ESN can be generated by using the RNC ID, Mobile Country Code (MCC), and Mobile Network Code (MNC).

The following commands can be used to generate the ESN:

ADD URNCBASIC: RncId=1, NSAP="H'45000971500202001F0000000000000000000001";

from the selling of Allowed maximum activated PDCH. This selling policy is only applied in China. For overseas market, the price of the inbuilt PCU board is not decreased. Therefore, this license is not sold in overseas market and the license is provided to customers by default. In the Quoter, the quotation is not provided. By default, the maximum license specifications are delivered.


81200638: Dynamic Shutdown Trx PA Function (per TRX)

81200639: Time slot Intelligent Power Optimization Function

For the versions earlier than 8.1, the BTS is not restricted and is allowed to use by default.

The function is enabled in the current network. If certain customers do not purchase the function, and the system is upgraded to the GBSS8.0 or later version, the power consumption of the entire network rises.

Energy-saving feature; the feature does not affect the network greatly owing to the limited number of offices.

Do not promote the feature initiatively. The license should be purchased. If any problem is encountered, any question will be processed by the marketing engineers.

Upgrade from GBSS 8.1 to GBSS 9.0, or later versions

82201139: 60W High Power Resource

82201140: 80W High Power Resource

Before the GBSS 9.0, the single carrier in multi-transceivers is not controlled by license; after GBSS 9.0, when the single carrier power is between [60W, 80W), the single carrier is controlled by 60 W power license. When the single carrier is between [80W, ), it is controlled by the 80W license.

If the power higher than 60 W of the single carrier is configured before the GBSS 9.0 on the current network, after upgrading to the GBSS 9.0, owing to the lack of licenses, the configuration will be restricted after the license file is activated.

The field engineers must check the license item before upgrading.

1. If the GBSS 8.1 is upgraded to the GBSS 9.0 or later version, the customers have configured the high-power capability, the field engineers should sell the 60W or 80W licenses.

If the customer is willing to purchase the feature, quote by inserting license BBOM (82201139 and 82201140) into GBSS9.0 configurator. The license is delivered normally through the configurator.

If the customer refuses to re-purchase the license in the upgrade, apply for the relevant license through exceptional application (Upgrade version--Feature Non-compatibility among version).

2. Upgrade the GBSS 9.0 to higher version. If the customer is not configured with the single carrier high-power capability, the field sales engineers should try to sell the 60W and 80W high power licenses. In the GBSS

9.0, quote by inserting license BBOM. In GBSS 12.0, quote in the BTS configurator.

Upgrade from GBSS 8.X to GBSS 9.0, or later versions

81201119: Clock over IP Function

81201050: Clock over IP support 1588V2 Function

The associated GBSS 8.X of the BTS3900 series BTS support the Clock over IP (private protocol); the associated GBSS9.0 does not support the Clock over IP (private protocol) but support the Clock over IP (1588V2).

Page 27 of 64


Step 2 On the LMT, run the DLD LICENSE command to download the license file to the NE. See the following figure.

Step 3 On the LMT, run the LST LICENSE command to query the items specified in license file. Check whether the ESN specified in the license file the same as that of the NE. Check the command execution result to determine whether the license expires and whether the function items specified in the license file are the same as those of the applied ones. If they are not the same, apply for a new license file.

Step 4 On the LMT, run the ACT LICENSE command to activate the specified license file. For details on precautions, see the online help of the command. Pay special attention to the following items:

1. When the GO/GU license is activated, the consistency check needs to be performed between the configured data and license data. During feature configuration, the consistency check also needs to be performed. If the consistency check fails, the features will fail to be configured.

2. When the UO license is activated, the consistency check between the configured data and the license data is ignored. Features can be enabled only when both the feature configuration and the license switch take effect.

3. The license file mode must be consistent with the system operation mode. Otherwise, the license file cannot be activated. You can run the LST MBSCMODE command to query the system operation mode.

4. The BSC6000 and BSC6810 are single-mode products. Therefore, there is no license mode problem. The LST MBSCMODE command does not work on the BSC6000 or BSC6810.

5.4 Obtaining the License Revoking Code

Procedure

Step 1 On the LMT, run the RVK LICENSE command to revoke the license of the NE. You do not need to enter the file name because the current license is revoked by default.

6 Instructions on License

Operations on the Website

At different periods, the license operations are classified into two categories: license operations in the engineering period and license operations in the maintenance period.

License operations in the engineering period include applying for the commissioning license, applying for the commercial license (for site deployment, upgrade, and capacity expansion), and adjusting license capacity, changing the ESN, renaming the customer, rolling back the revoked license, and applying for the trial license.

Note that only Huawei technical support personnel can perform the operations described in this chapter.

6.1 Self-Application for a Commissioning License

Application Scenario

The commissioning license is a temporary license used for software commissioning during the engineering period. It is applicable to the following scenarios:

1. Software commissioning is performed during the engineering period.

Licenses cannot be accurately assigned to each NE during contract signing because the actual license capacity of each NE can be determined only when the network operates stably during the engineering period. To enable services during the engineering period and measure the actual license capacity of each NE, you need to load the commissioning license and then load the commercial permanent license after the network operates stably. To avoid frequent license adjustments, you need to adjust the license properly at a time.

2. If the distributed commercial license file is unavailable due to a quotation error or product design error during the version upgrade, you can apply for a commercial license available for seven days by yourself for emergency use.

The BSC6900 provides self-application of two types of commissioning licenses:


Ltd

Page 30 of 64


The ESN is not ANY and the validity period is three months. One NE can download this type of license only three times from FNO.

The ESN is not ANY and the validity period is seven days. This type of license can be downloaded many times as required.

As a non-commercial license, the commissioning license must be replaced by a permanent commercial license.

The BSC6900 can only support the self-application for a commercial license available for three months or seven days for an ESN that is not ANY. For the self-applied license, all license items are set to the same value. If special requirements are raised, fill the non-commercial license template and obtain the license through the License Application Workflow.

Prior to version upgrade, a commercial license file which has a validity period of seven days and carries an ESN is required for emergency use. If the self-application does not work, fill the non-commercial license template and obtain a license through the License Application Workflow.

Procedure

Step 1 Enter the user name and password in the CHINA domain to log in to the FNO (http://license.huawei.com).

Step 2 Click Download Commissioning License on the left navigation tree. The Download Commissioning License dialog box is displayed.

6.5 Changes in the ESN

Scenario

Changing hardware or migrating equipment may cause ESN changes. In this case, the ESN included in the license file must be changed. Therefore, you need to load a new license file to replace the original one.

If the NE provides the revoking code, GTS engineers can obtain the revoking code from the NE and log in to the FNO to change the ESN.

If the NE does not provide the revoking code, GTS engineers need to change the ESN by submitting the license application workflow.

After the ESN is successfully changed, the original license file is revoked in the FNO.

Changing a Single ESN (with Revoking Code)

Step 1 Obtain the revoking code corresponding to the license file to be changed on the NE.

Step 2 Enter the revoking code and the new ESN in the FNO to obtain the license file corresponding to the new ESN.

6.6 Rollback of a Revoked License

Scenario

Before adjusting a license during the NE maintenance period, you need to first revoke the license to obtain the revoking code. If the license application is not approved, you cannot obtain a new license. In this case, the original license cannot be used. Or, misoperations can cause an NE license to be revoked. To enable the revoked license to be usable, you can perform the license rollback function to recover the revoked license.

You can only roll back the license that is revoked on the NE, but not on the FNO. In the case of the license adjustment or ESN change, the original license is already revoked in the FNO. Therefore, the license cannot be rolled back in the FNO.

Except the LSN, all license control items after the rollback are set to the same values as those before the rollback.

After the rollback is performed in the FNO, the original license file is revoked in the FNO.

Procedure

Step 1 Enter the user name and password in the CHINA domain to log in to the FNO (http://license.huawei.com).

Step 2 Click Rollback Disabled License under the left navigation tree. The Rollback Disabled License window is displayed.

Ltd

Page 61 of 64


For office 2007, enable all macros according to the following figure.

When the modification of the template is complete, before saving the modification, the office 2007 will prompt the compatibility problem. Ignore the prompt messages and click OK.

2. If the local language of the Windows operating system is not Chinese or the simplified Chinese character set is not installed, an error occurs when you use the template. To rectify this error, install the simplified Chinese character set or fill in the license application template and send it to the Chinese staff to generate the template.

3. If the license of the old version is upgraded to a new version, select the Version Upgrade Tools sheet and select Old Release BSC Mode and Change from XXX on the sheet. Then, click Input original file and change. In UMTS mode, if you confirm that the built-in CBC and Iu interface adopt the satellite transmission mode, enter the information about the old version and new version by following the prompts. After that, click Copy to Application Table. Then, the upgraded license data is automatically imported to the Application Table sheet. After filling the site information in yellow cells, click Check and Generate to generate the license data in green cells.

4. If the capacity expansion is based on the old license, select the Application Table sheet. Click Import License File and enter the specific information in yellow cells of the Add column. Then, click Check and Generate to generate the license data in green cells.

5. If there is no old license, fill each item in the Application Table sheet.

6. The correlation (see the feature list and feature description of the NE) between features cannot be automatically established through the license application template. Before filling in the template, determine features to be activated and their dependent features. To ensure that all related features are included, collect all features to be activated and their dependent features before applying for the license.
