Configuring the Pb Signaling Link

This describes how to configure a signaling link on the Pb interface. This link is responsible for the signaling transmission of PS service procedure control and Pb transmission resource management.

Scenario	BSC initial configuration and BSC capacity expansion
Mandatory/Optional	Optional. A Pb signaling link must be configured when the BSC is configured with an external PCU.

NOTE:

Each GMPS or GEPS can be configured with up to 64 Pb signaling links.

Prerequisite

Procedure

1. On the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal, right-click GEIUP in the GMPS.
   NOTE:

   The configuration of a Pb signaling link can be started only on the GEIUP/GOIUP in the GMPS/GEPS.

2. Choose Configure Pb Signaling Link from the shortcut menu. A dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.
