l Run the ./omutool debugcard The debugging IP


address command to change the debugging IP
address and the subnet mask. For example, you
can type the following command and then press
Enter.
./omutool debugcard 192.168.6.60

The preceding IP addresses are


not on the same network
segment as the network of the
operator

Change the backup channel IP address of the standby


OMU.
Run the ./omutool backupcard The IP address
command. For example, you can type the following
command and then press Enter.
./omutool backupcard 192.168.3.60

Step 5 Change the OMU name.

All the subracks of the BSC6910 are running normally.

You have 6 Logging In to the BSC6910 Through the LMT.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the MML command DSP IURPLKS and specify External Node Id. to query the status of

the number of Iur-p links in the link set. Alternatively, run the MML command RMV
IURPLKS to remove a link set so that the number of Iur-p links can be decreased to be within
RNC capability.
NOTE

l The RNC's capability for supporting Iur-p links depends on the capabilities of configured boards on the
control plane (CP) and their numbers. When RNC in Pool is applied with two RNCs pooled, the maximum
number of Iur-p links supported in an RNC pool depends on the pooled RNC whose capability for supporting
Iur-p links is lower.
For example, in an RNC pool with two RNCs pooled, if RNC 1 supports four Iur-p links and RNC 2 supports
six Iur-p links, the RNC pool can support a maximum of four Iur-p links and the excessive two Iur-p links
on RNC 2 become faulty.
l The number of Iur-p links supported by the EGPUa board (logical function type: UCUP) and an external
node depends on the board's CP processing capability. You can run the MML command LST
UCPUPFLEXCFG to obtain CP processing capability of a board. If CP PROPORTION IN TOTAL is
100%, the EGPUa board (logical function type: UCUP) supports 56 Iur-p links. The number of Iur-p links
supported by the RNC can be calculated in the following formula: Number of Iur-p links supported by an
external node = Number of EGPUa boards (logical function type: UCUP) 56 CP proportion in total.

If the value of Number of Fault IURP Link is not 0, see ALM-21606 IURP Link Fault for
troubleshooting.

If the value is greater than the value of Maximum DL Power Capability (MAXTXPOWER), run
the MML command MOD UCELL to change the cell maximum transmit power or request that
the NodeB change the maximum downlink transmit power.

Solution 4: Checking the PRACH Setup Response Message


The requirements for the correct PRACH setup response message are as follows:
l

The RachInfo, TranspLayerAddr, and BindingId parameters have been assigned values.

The transport channel ID of the RACH displayed in the messages should be the same as
that configured in the database.

The value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter in the message is the same as that in the
database.
NOTE

When the user plane is over ATM transmission, the value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter is the ATM
address. Run the MML command LST UNODEB to check whether the configured ATM address is consistent
with that in the PRACH setup response message.
When the user plane is over IP transmission, the value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter is the IP address.
You do not need to check whether the peer IP address (that is, the IP address of the NodeB user plane) configured
is consistent with that in the PRACH setup response message because it does not need to be configured on the
BSC6910.

Solution 5: Checking the SCCPCH Setup Response Message


The requirements for the correct SCCPCH setup response message are as follows:
l

The FachInfo, PchInfo, TranspLayerAddr, and BindingId parameters have been


assigned values.

The transport channel ID of the FACH or PCH displayed in the messages should be the
same as that configured in the database.

The value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter in the message is the same as that in the

NOTE

When the user plane is over ATM transmission, the value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter is the ATM
address. Run the MML command LST UNODEB to check whether the ATM address configured is consistent
with that in the SCCPCH setup response message.
When the user plane is over IP transmission, the value of the TranspLayerAddr parameter is the IP address.
You do not need to check whether the peer IP address (that is, the IP address of the NodeB user plane) configured
