1 Overview of Software Installation
1.1 Overview of Software Installation
BTS3601C software includes BTS operational software and terminal Operation &
Maintenance (O&M) software.
BTS operational software includes BOOT software, Central Processing Unit (CPU)
software, and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic.
CPU software includes Micro-bts Base-band Processing Board (MBPB) software and
Micro-bts Transceiver Board (MTRB) software; while FPGA logic includes MBPB logic
and MTRB logic. The actual situation differs from one board type to another.
Terminal O&M software includes Local Maintenance Function (LMF) software (i.e.,
the local O&M software), and O&M Center (OMC) software (i.e., the remote O&M
software).
LMF software comprises PC self-contained Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
software,while OMC software is composed of BAM software and Client software.
1.1.1 BTS Operational Software
I. BOOT software
BOOT software serves to start the board. Before the delivery of the BTS3601C, the
BOOTROM in every board has already been installed with BOOT software. BOOT
software upgrade is usually realized by replacing the chip.
II. CPU software
CPU software is the core of system functions. It can be loaded in two ways:
lIf there is no old-version software on the board, it is necessary to load the board
(in the commissioning mode) with the software through the board network port.
lIf there is old-version software on the board, the software can be upgraded
through software loading by using local FTP software or remote O&M software.
III. FPGA logic
FPGA logic should be loaded to BTS3601C MBPB/MTRB. The loading mode is the
same as that of CPU software.

& Note:
The BTS operational software has been installed before delivery, so there is no need to install onsite.
However, the operational software needs to be upgraded or re-loaded upon version upgrade. For details,
please refer to Chapter 3 BTS Operation Software Installation.
1.1.2 Terminal O&M Software
I. Local O&M software
The local maintenance console is a portable computer installed with Windows9x
Operating System (OS), which contains the local O&M software. It includes FTP
Client (Ftp.exe) and Telnet Client (Telnet.exe).
The BTS3601C objects, including sites, cells, basebands, carriers, channels, etc.,
can be maintained with local maintenance commands.
Since the two programs (Ftp.exe and Telnet.exe) are provided by Windows9x OS,
there is no need for extra installation.
II. Remote O&M software
Remote O&M software (OMC) of the Base Station Subsystem (BSS) adopts the
Client/Server structure.
Through the Client, users can input operation commands, which are then processed
by the server (BAM) in a centralized way. After the processing, these commands are
transmitted to the foreground (including BSC and BTS), which will then return the
operation result (success, failure, timeout, exception, etc.). BAM will record the result
and transmit it in a certain report format to the Client.
With OMC, the user can perform remote maintenance and monitoring over all the
BTSs that are under his control.
The collected site information can also be used for network planning.
The installation of OMC software involves the installation of BAM server software and
the installation of the Client software.
The Client software is divided into three kinds: BSC Client, BTS3612 Client and
BTS3601C Client.
This manual describes the installation of BTS3601C Client software only. For the
installation of BAM server and other Client software, please refer to the
corresponding installation manual.

2 Installing BTS Terminal O&M Software
2.1 Software Features
BTS3601C terminal O&M software (hereinafter referred to as "terminal O&M
software") is classified into two categories: the remote O&M and the local O&M.
These two categories differ in the way they are installed.
I. Local O&M software
Local O&M software includes FTP Client (Ftp.exe) and Telnet Client (Telnet.exe). The
two programs are both self-contained by Windows9x OS.
To realize the local maintenance, the maintenance console is connected through
crossover network cablesto BTS via the Ethernet port that is in the Micro-bts
Base-band Processing Module (MBPM) maintenance window. The user thus can
issue O&M commands through the local maintenance console to maintain the
BTS3601C.
II. Remote O&M software
The remote O&M software comprises the software for the BAM server and the Client.
Among which, the Client software is composed of three parts: BSC Client, BTS3612
Client and BTS3601C Client. The remote O&M software described in this manual
refers to BTS3601C Client.

3 Installing BTS Operational Software
3.1 Software Media
BTS3601C software has two kinds of media:
lMemory chip
lDisk file
For specific software, their respective media are described as follows:
I. For BOOT software
Boot software includes the fundamental hardware initialization information of boards.
Before delivery, BOOTROMs of all boards are pre-installed with BOOT software,
which can be upgraded by replacing chips.
II. For CPU software
CPU software is the core of system functions. Before delivery, CPU software has
been loaded to the Flash Memory. Once the equipment is powered-on, BOOT
software will load the CPU software from Flash Memory to RAM and run it there.
When CPU software should be reloaded or upgraded during the maintenance
process, CPU software in disk file format can be loaded to the corresponding Flash
Memory through the remote or local maintenance console.
III. For FPGA logic
FPGA logic is responsible for board data exchange. It is loaded in the same way as
the CPU software.
3.2 Replacing the Chip
Generally, the BOOT software is updated by replacing the chip. All you need to do is
to replace the program chip of the old version software with the chip of the new
version.

3-2
& Note:
1) The four angles of the chip correspond to those of the socket one by one. Make sure there is no
mistake when replacing the chip. Otherwise, thechip may be burned.
2) The chips should be replaced by authorized Huawei engineers.
3.3 Downloading Software
The boot software of BTS3601C system is installed and upgraded by replacing the
memory chip, while common board software (including CPU software and FPGA logic)
are installed and updated by downloading the software.
3.3.1 Methods of Software Loading
BTS software loading can be conducted through remote/local maintenance console.
The remote maintenance console is connected to BSC via LAN. Through IP Over
ATM (IPOA) link of BSC, it is connected to MBPM of BTS3601C, and through MBPM,
it is connected to Micro-bts Transceiver Module (MTRM).
The local maintenance console is connected to MBPM (via the Ethernet port in
MBPM maintenance window) through the crossover network cable. Through MBPM, it
is then connected to MTRM.
The connection between BTS remote maintenance console and local maintenance
console is shown in Figure 3-1.

It is quite convenient to load the board software to BTS3601C through remote/local
maintenance console.
The processes of software installation and version upgrade for BTS3601C through
the local and remote maintenance consoles are almost the same.
In the following text, the remote maintenance console is used as an example to
describe the process.
3.3.2 Remote Loading
I. Overview
The system provides the remote loading function to enable the maintenance
personnel to load software to the BTS3601C boards through the remote maintenance
console.
Software loading includes downloading of software and uploading of BTS
configuration data. While the software downloading still comprises two steps:
1) Downloading BTS3601C software;
2) Activating BTS3601C software.
If the loaded software is MBPB software and when it is activated, the BTS3601C will
be reset and MBPB will start the newly-loaded software.
If the loaded software is the MTRB software and when it is activated, MBPB will load
the corresponding MTRB software stored in the memory just now to the specific
board.
In receipt of the new software, the board will activate the software by resetting itself.
The software loading is then completed.
II. Precautions
1) Software loading should be carried out based on the actual conditions.
According to the version matching table, FPGA software should be loaded first,
then the CPU software.
2) Since the solidified software is generally loaded by off-line replacing the chip,
there is no requirement on the sequence.
3) The board software loading should follow the sequence of "MTRB first, MBPB
later". While loading software to a specific board, the sequence of "FPGA first,
CPU later" should be followed.
4) The software version fallback of boardsfollows the sequence MTRB→MBPB,
the fallback sequence of software on a board is CPU first, then FPGA, so the
general sequence is like this: MTRB.CPUàMTRB.FPGAàMBPB.CPUà
MBPB.FPGA.

III. Trouble shooting
Case One:Failed to activate after successful downloading.
Cause analysis:Incorrect parameter for software downloading command, e.g.,
wrong software version No., may result in unsuccessful activation after successful
downloading.
Case two:Failed to download.
Cause analysis: Check the loading sequence first. If that is fine, check the following:
lIs the BAM FTP server powered on?
lIs the access directory open?
lAre the login user name and password correct?
lDoes the access directory/file exist?
