Querying BTS Running Status

This describes how to query the running status of the BTSs or cells under a BSC.

Prerequisites

The LMT runs normally.
The communication between the BSC and the BTS is normal.

Context

You can query the running status parameters of the BTSs or of cells through the LMT. Table 1 lists the running status parameters of the BTSs.

**Table 1** Description of BTS running status parameters
Parameter	Description
Normal OML Link	Indicates whether the OML link between the current site and BSC is normal.
BTS Initialized	Indicates whether the current site is initialized.
Cell Initialized	Indicates whether the cell under the current site is initialized.
Block Automatically	Indicates whether a fault occurs to the current site that is blocked automatically.
Channel Fault	Indicates whether a channel fault occurs to the current site.
BCCH Mutual Aid	Indicates whether the mutual aid takes place between the primary BCCH and other TRXs when the TRX where the BCCH resides is exceptional.
BT Hop Mutual Aid	Indicates that a fault occurs to the TRX that joins in baseband FH or the BCCH mutual aid occurs in the cell.
Channel Type Dynamically Changed	Indicates whether the channel type of the current site changes. TCH->SDCCH, SDCCH->TCH, TCH/H->TCH/F, TCH/F->TCH/H, dynamic PDTCH->TCH, and TCH->dynamic PDTCH.
Management Authority in the Near End	Indicates whether the local site maintenance has got the local management authority.
Board Fault	Indicates whether the board in the current site is running normally.
Board not Configured	Indicates whether the board in position is configured with software information.
Alarm	Indicates whether alarms occur in the current site.
Block Manually	Indicates whether the management status of the current site is set to Block Manually.
Alarm Shielded	Indicates whether the alarm shield is set for the alarms in the current site.
Frequency Scanning	Indicates whether the cell in the current site is in frequency scanning status.

Table 2 lists the running status parameters of the cells.

**Table 2** Description of cell running status parameters
Parameter	Description
Cell Initialized	Indicates whether the current cell is initialized.
Block Automatically	Indicates whether the current cell is blocked automatically due to the TRX fault.
Channel Fault	Whether channel link is faulty.
BCCH Mutual Aid	Indicates whether the mutual aid takes place between the primary BCCH and other TRXs when the TRX where the BCCH resides is exceptional.
BT Hop Mutual Aid	Indicates that a fault occurs to the TRX that joins in baseband FH or the BCCH mutual aid occurs in the cell.
Channel Type Dynamically Changed	Indicates whether channel switchover occurs in the cell. TCH->SDCCH, SDCCH->TCH, TCH/H->TCH/F, TCH/F->TCH/H, dynamic PDTCH->TCH, and TCH->dynamic PDTCH.
Block Manually	Indicates whether the management status of the current site is set to Block Manually.
Frequency Scanning	Indicates whether the cell is in frequency scanning status.

Procedure

Through GUI
1. Choose BTS Maintenance > Query BTS Running Status. The Query BTS Running Status dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.
  Figure 1 Query BTS Running Status dialog box
  
  NOTE:
  The operation for querying the site running status is the same as that for querying the cell running status. This topic takes querying site running status parameters as an example.
2. Set the Object Type to Site and set the Site Type. The sites that meet the set conditions will be displayed in Candidate sites.
3. Select the sites to be queried and move them from Candidate sites to Selected sites. Select parameters in the Query Status box. Click OK. A dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2.

4. Click Save.
Through MML
1. Run the DSP BTSSTAT command on the LMT to query the BTS running status.
