1.2.8 SDT Security Feature Description

You can use the site deployment tool, the SDT, to log in to the base station, to download
software and configuration files, to query the transmission fault, antenna fault, and base
station alarm fault through the MML or BIN interface only during base station installation
(when the service is unavailable). The SDT does not support a base station parameter
modification function, or a tracing and interception function. It cannot access to user data.
Delete base station configuration files on the smartphone, and modify the LMT password of
the base station through the OMC immediately after the base station is ready for services.
The smartphone deployed with the SDT communicates with the AP using the standard Wi-Fi
protocol, which includes the standard security mechanism of Wi-Fi, Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP/WPA2/WEP). After purchasing the AP, you can set the encryption protocol of
Wi-Fi according to the User Manual. When you use the AP, disable the SSID broadcast
function.
The AP communicates with the base station using the standard TCP/IP protocol through
RJ45cable.
The communication between the smartphone deployed with the SDT and the base station is in
compliance with the TCP/IP protocol. It uses the MML or BIN maintenance interface of the
base station to perform site deployment operations. No private interface is used between BTS
and SDT.
All OM interfaces between the smartphone deployed with the SDT and the base station
function in compliance with the security mechanism of the base station, which is identical
with the security mechanism between the LMT and the base station. If the communication
does not comply with the security mechanism, the SDT cannot communicate with the base
station.

1 SDT User Guide
The SDT GUI does not support any MML command input operations. The resulting
commands of the function icons are based on MML commands for LMT products. To learn
the MML commands, see the LMT User Manual released with the base station.
The SDT records operation logs, which contain information on the related MML commands,
operation time, and command results. No personal data is recorded in the logs.
All SDT user accounts and passwords used to log in to the base station are encrypted with
AES256 by default. You cannot change the base station's user names and passwords on the
SDT.
The SDT software is scanned by the antivirus software, such as the Symantec and OfficeScan.
Install antivirus software for the smartphone deployed with the SDT running Android. This
can prevent the smartphone from virus or Trojan Horse attacks and protect the network. The
mainstream antivirus software vendors for Android smartphones include AVG, ESET,
Norton/Symantec, Avast, Dr.Web, F-Secure, Ikarus, Kaspersky, Zoner, and Lookout.

Description of the Preconfiguration Script File (Precfg.ini)
The preconfiguration script file Precfg.ini is used by a base station to download software
for unconfigured boards of the base station.
The base station downloads software corresponding to board types defined in Precfg.ini.
The Precfg.ini file must be made based on the hardware configuration of the base station.
If the file contains excessive unnecessary boards, the upgrade fails due to excessive
software to be loaded.
When the base station downloads software, all software of boards in Precfg.ini and
installed boards will be downloaded.
If Precfg.ini is unavailable, the base station downloads software based on the latest
configuration. After the base station is reset successfully, the base station installs
software of new boards.
Precfg.ini is saved in ANSI format.
For the software upgrade of GBTSs and SRAN8.0 base stations, the SDT delivers
Precfg.ini and then software to the base stations to ensure that all required board
software be downloaded at a time.
For the upgrade of UMTS and LTE base stations from SRAN7.0 to SRAN7.x or
SRAN8.0, UMTS and LTE base stations in SRAN7.0 do not support Precfg.ini, and
therefore the SDT downloads only software of configured and installed boards. If a
board or an RF module is added, you need to install software through the SDT or
M2000.
For details about how to make Precfg.ini, see 3900 Series Base Station Commissioning
Guide.

1 SDT User Guide
SRAN packages are large in size. For a single-mode site, you only need to download a
single-mode package with the version number of V100R008.
The SDT manages software packages based on their versions. SRAN and single-mode
packages have the same version number. Therefore, a newly uploaded software package
will overwrite an existing software package on the SDT. You can only use an SRAN
package to overwrite a single-mode package. The software of a single mode in the
SRAN package is the same as the software in a single-mode package.
For a single-mode site where mode expansion is required, if you obtained only a
single-mode package for the original mode before the upgrade, you need to download an
SRAN package from http://support.huawei.com and then upload it to the SDT.

established, automatic configuration is performed to complete software upgrades and
configuration updates. The base station may be restarted.
1.8.6 Ping&Tracert
Prerequisites
You have started the SDT, and the SDT has successfully logged in to the GSM, UMTS,
or LTE base station.
This function is applicable only for the IP networking.
Context
The Ping command is used to check whether the gateway through which packets are sent
from the host to the destination is reachable and whether network connections are normal. In
this way, network faults can be located.
The TRACERT command is used to test the network line quality and check whether a
network connection is faulty.
Ping and TRACERT buttons on the page enable you to run the Ping and TRACERT
commands.
A ping packet can contain VLANs that are automatically added by the base station based on
route information.

Issue 07 (2013-11-01)

75

1 SDT User Guide
Step 2 Wait for the SDT to automatically obtain parameter settings and perform ping and Tracert
operations.
If the Tracert operation fails, the SDT displays 30 asterisks (*), taking 3 minutes.
Step 3 If required, manually change the IP address and perform detection again.
The source IP address of a GSM site is the local IP address (IP address of the base station).
The source IP address of a UMTS site or an LTE site is the local IP address of the OMCH (obtained by
running the DSP OMCH command).
The destination IP address of a GSM site contains the next-hop IP address and the IP address of the base
station controller (BSC).
The destination IP address of a UMTS site or an LTE site contains the next-hop IP address and the IP
address of the M2000.
The next-hop IP address is obtained only when the interface type for the GSM, UMTS, or LTE BTS mode
is FE or ETH. Otherwise, no next-hop IP address is available. Multiple next-hop IP addresses may be
available, including primary and secondary next-hop IP addresses. The active route may not be pinged and
the standby route may be pinged. Therefore, ping and Tracert operations are performed on both the active
and standby routes.
The SDT obtains the slot number, subrack number, and cabinet number, and displays them by default.
You can manually modify the preceding information.

1.11.8 How Do I Avoid Barcode Scanning Errors?

During barcode scanning, the barcode image in the smartphone may be unclear and finally
scanning failures or errors occur due to the following reasons:
The barcode is small.
The space for scanning focus is narrow.
The light is insufficient. The barcode is damaged.
To avoid scanning errors, you are advised to perform the following operations:
1.
Take down the barcode, put it horizontally in a place with sufficient light, hold still, and
scan it from the barcode top vertically. This avoids the smartphone from shaking and
ensures that the ESN image is clear.
2.
After the scanning, check whether numbers in the scanning result are consistent with
those of the barcode. If they are inconsistent, scan the barcode again.
3.
If scanning errors occur repeatedly, you are advised to manually input numbers of the
barcode.
