NOTE
l Bandwidth affects the speed of Web page visits. You can rapidly visit the LMT on an LMT PC with a
recommended configuration. Your visit to the LMT is, however, significantly delayed on an LMT PC
with the minimum configuration although all LMT functions can be used.
l Effective bandwidth in most cases indicates the bandwidth available for the LMT. If many programs
compete with the LMT for bandwidth resources, a serious delay occurs despite a link bandwidth of 2
Mbit/s under HTTP.
Context
l
You have installed the JAVA Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE)
program before using the LMT. If no JRE plug-in is installed, a message is displayed when
you log in to the LMT, prompting you to install the plug-in. Follow the instructions to install
the plug-in. If the JRE plug-in on the LMT PC is not the latest version, a message is
displayed, prompting you to upgrade the plug-in version. In this case, you are advised to
uninstall the existing JRE plug-in and then install a new version. If you cannot log in to the
LMT after you upgrade the JRE program, restart the web browser and retry.
A maximum of 32 local users and EMS users can log in to the LMT.
CAUTION
When the LMT is running, do not modify the system time and time zone. Otherwise, severe
errors may occur in the system. Close the LMT window before you modify the system time and
time zone.

This task can be performed to fine-tune the configuration data. It cannot be used when the
quick configuration mode is enabled or when batch MML commands are run, because the
operation of undoing or redoing multiple configuration actions will decrease the efficiency
of running the MML commands.
This function can be performed only with the exclusive operation rights to prevent
misoperations.
This function does not apply to all MML commands. If you run a command that does not
support this function after you set the rollback point by running the ADD
ROLLBACKPOINT command, the rollback point is invalidated. That is, you cannot undo
multiple configuration actions with the configured rollback point. In this case, you need to
remove the configured rollback point and configure a new one. For the lists of commands
that support undoing or redoing multiple configuration actions, see the descriptions of the
ADD ROLLBACKPOINT command.
Redo multiple configuration actions: This operation is performed to redo the multiple
configuration actions that were undone previously. Through this operation, you can roll
back the system to the configuration at a specified rollback point or to the configuration
before the multiple configuration actions were undone.
Context
NOTE
The initial rollback point is the first rollback point set by the user. The final rollback point is set
automatically when the latest configuration command is successfully run. A maximum of 10,000
configuration commands can be undone between the initial and final rollback points. If the system finds
more than 10,000 commands between the two rollback points, it does not undo the commands and reports
a failure message.
You can set a maximum of five rollback points. If you release the configuration rights, the OMU active
work area clears the information about the rollback stack and rollback points.
Procedure
Step 1 To undo/redo configuration actions in batches, you can use the ADD ROLLBACKPOINT
command to set the rollback points as required.
Step 2 Run the BEG ROLLBACK command to start the rollback.
Step 3 Run the BEG FORWARD command to resume the configurations that are rolled back.

Description
Fault alarm
Event alarm
Alarms of predefined events during the operation of the devices. The alarm
reflects the system condition (for example, congestion) during a specific
period, which is not necessarily a fault. Some event alarms are generated
repeatedly and regularly. Event alarms cannot be classified into active and
cleared alarms.
The fault alarms are classified into active and cleared alarms according to the fault status.
l
Cleared alarm: If a fault is rectified, the corresponding alarm becomes a cleared alarm.
Active alarm: If the fault is not rectified, the corresponding alarm is an active alarm.
For example, when congestion occurs in a cell, the system reports a fault alarm of cell
congestion. Before the congestion is cleared, the alarm remains active. After the congestion is
cleared, the alarm is cleared.
NOTE
l The record of a cleared alarm is stored in the OMU database and can be queried.
l In scenarios where equipment is being deployed, commissioned, upgraded, swapped, cut over, or the
capacity of a base station is expanded, operations cause a great number of alarms to be reported. There
is no special mechanism to handle such alarms. Large in number and short in existence period, these
alarms make real fault alarms inconspicuous and therefore disturb normal network monitoring. To
solve the problem discussed above, Huawei puts forward the concept of "engineering alarms". With
the concept, alarms in scenarios of engineering maintenance are identified and handled as special cases.
In this way, delicacy management of alarms is implemented and fault OM efficiency of the operator
is improved.

Report
In Report status, the LMT drives the alarm box to enable the audio and visual alarm
function.
Not report
In Not report status, the alarm box will not be activated when an alarm is generated or when
the alarm status changes.
NOTE
The to-alarm-box flag is used for fault alarms only. Event alarms are not reported to the alarm box.
Whether alarms are reported to the alarm box depends on the settings of to-alarm-box flag and
the shield severity of the alarm box. Alarms are reported to the alarm box only when the toalarm-box flag is set to Report and the alarm severity is greater than or equal to the shield
severity of the alarm box.
Shield Flag
The shield flag is set to shield the alarm information not required. The shield flag can be set to
Shielded or Unshielded.
l
Shielded
A board does not report the alarms whose shield flags are set to Shield to the network
manager or the alarm box. The server does not save the logs of such alarms.
Unshielded
A board reports the alarms whose shield flags are set to Shield to the network manager or
the alarm box. The server saves the logs of such alarms.
Modification Flag
The modification flag records the modification status of alarm configuration information. The

7 Trace Management
When you create a tracing task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the OMU
to create the task.
2.
The OMU assigns an ID to the task and forwards the command to the debugging module
of the specified board.
3.
After receiving the command, the debugging module records the filter parameters of the
trace data in the filter table and notifies the service module.
4.
The service module updates the local filter table according to the message from the
debugging module.
When you close a tracing task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the OMU
to delete the task.
2.
The OMU forwards the command to the specified board according to the task ID.

Internal Procedure for the Service Module to Report Traced Messages to the LMT
1.
The service module compares the collected messages against the local filter table and
reports the qualified messages to the OMU.
2.
The OMU forwards the traced messages to the LMT that creates the task according to the
task ID.
3.
The LMT translates the messages and displays them on the tracing window.
Group G_10 consists of binary commands for creating tracing and monitoring tasks.
Save to OMU
You can set Trace Period (OMU Time) for a tracing task in this mode. The tracing start
time and tracing end time refer to the time on the OMU. The tracing end time must be later
than the tracing start time. The tracing result file is saved on the OMU in .zip format and
is not sent to the LMT PC. The default save path is \mbsc\bam\common\fam\trace.
Report File
The tracing result file is temporarily saved on the OMU in .zip format. Then, it is transferred
to the specified directory on the LMT PC through the FTP server.
You can query the saved tracing result file according to the operations in Browsing Traced
Messages Offline.

When packets are discarded between two boards or connection cannot be established
between two boards, you can check whether the correct packets are sent to and received by
interface boards and other boards in the system by capturing backplane packets. Then you
can quickly determine where the problem lies, which may be in an interface board or any
other board in the system.
Only one packet tracing task can be started for each interface board at a time. Tracing of
multiple interface boards can be started simultaneously.
Only the header of the user plane packet can be captured, not including the payload of the
packet.

EML: extended maintenance link (EML). When the BTS uses Abis over IP or HDLC
transmission mode, it is configured with an EML for loading BTS software and uploading
log files.
DML: dynamic maintenance link. During BTS software loading, in addition to the OML
and EML, transmission resources configured for RSLs and traffic channels may be
dynamically preempted to set up temporary extended links. These extended links
accelerate software loading. After the loading is complete, these extended links are
released, the transmission resources are reallocated to RSLs or traffic channels, and
therefore transmission resources on the Abis interface restore to normal.
RSL: signaling link configured for a TRX. Each TRX is configured with one link.
ESL: extended signaling link (ESL). If Flex Abis Mode is set to FLEX_ABIS(Flex
Abis), each BTS is configured with one ESL to transmit the Abis timeslot dynamic
connection message.
l Site ID: indicates the number of a BTS. You can query it by running the LST BTS command.
l TRX ID:indicates the number of a TRX. You can query it by running the LST GTRX

NOTICE
As private information of users is revealed during the tracing, only G1 command group users
(ADMINISTRATOR and CUSTOM users with G1 command group permission) are allowed to
perform a single-user CS tracing task.
Context
At the most, 16 tasks of tracing CS messages of a single subscriber can be started simultaneously.
There is no way to avoid that some user data such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity
(IMSI) will be used during problem location and resolution. This function provides an
anonymous data processing method. You are recommended to comply with local laws when
executing the task and take ample measures to fully protect user data, such as enabling the
anonymous function and deleting the folder that saves track records after you finish processing
data.

Step 3 In the Single User CS Trace dialog box, set the parameters as required.
NOTE
l If you choose to trace messages by MSISDN, set the MSISDN to that of the peer end:
l (Recommended) To trace the calling MS, set the MSISDN to that of the called MS. For example,
if the MS calls 12345, then set the MSISDN to 12345.
l To trace the called MS, set the MSISDN to that of the calling MS, which is displayed on the called
MS. For example, if 54321 is displayed on the called MS, set the MSISDN to 54321.
l If you trace the user messages by TMSI or IMSI, you must check the reassignment policies on the MSC
side:
l If TMSI is carried, you can trace the MS by TMSI.
l If IMSI is carried, you can trace the MS by IMSI.
l If you choose to trace the user messages by IMEI, you must check whether the IMEI is available to the
MSC.
l If you choose to trace the user messages by IMEI,
l If no message is reported when the IMEI is 14 digits, add 0 to the end of the IMEI and try again.
l If no messages can be traced using the 15-digit IMEI, check whether the 15-digit IMEI is correct.
l If incorrect, enter the correct one and try again.
l If correct, change the last digit of the IMEI to 0 and try again.
l If you choose to trace the user messages by CELLID, all calls in the cell are traced. You are advised
to set Trace Interval(10s) to the maximum value 65535. This ensures that all traced signaling can be
displayed on the LMT.
l If you choose to trace the user messages by CHANINFO, the call carried on the specified channel is
traced.

8 Performance Monitoring
When you create a task for monitoring the CPU usage on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary
command querying the CPU usage to the maintenance module of the OMU periodically.
2.
The OMU sends the corresponding command to the maintenance and configuration module
of the specified board.
3.
The board collects data according to the commands, and reports it to the OMU.
4.
5.
The BSC supports monitoring the CPU usage by subrack number and slot number.

The internal procedure for creating a real-time monitoring task, other than the CPU usage
monitoring, is as follows:
1.
When you create a monitoring task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the
OMU to create the task.
2.
The OMU assigns a number to the task and sends the command to the debugging module
of the specified board.
3.
After receiving the command, the debugging module records the filter parameters in the
filter table and notifies the service module.
4.
The service module updates the local filter table according to the messages from the
debugging module.
When you close the monitoring task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the
OMU to delete the task.
2.
The OMU sends the command to the specified board according to the task number.
3.
The debugging module and service module delete the task from the filter table.
The internal procedure for reporting the real-time monitoring data is as follows:
1.
The service module compares the collected data against the local filter table and reports
the qualified messages to the OMU.
2.
The OMU forwards the data to the LMT that creates the task according to the task ID.

l Only one spectrum scan task can be performed simultaneously in each base station.
l Off-line spectrum scan consists of channel-level spectrum scan and TRX-level spectrum
scan. When the spectrum of a channel is scanned, channels of all TRXs in the same cell with
the same timeslot number as that of the channel are all blocked. The TRX carrying the channel
is also blocked. When the spectrum of a TRX is scanned, all TRXs in the same cell except
the BCCH TRX are blocked.
l For Off-line Spectrum Scan, starting the scanned cell after a spectrum scan is complete
triggers a level-2 reset. The reset lasts for about 15 to 20 seconds.
Procedure
Step 1 Click Monitor on the LMT main page. The Monitor tab page is displayed.
Step 2 Under Monitor Navigation Tree, choose Monitor > GSM Monitoring > Spectrum Scan
Monitoring. The Spectrum Scan Monitoring dialog box is displayed.
Step 3 In the displayed Spectrum Scan Monitoring dialog box, set parameters as required.
l Monitor Item: select Off-line Spectrum Scan or Frequency Time Domain Scan.
Performing wideband offline spectrum scanning in a common cell may block the cell.
Performing wideband offline spectrum scanning in a multi-site cell subsite may lead to call
drops in all subsites of the cell and block the cell. A level-2 reset is performed after a scan.
It scans frequencies within a frequency band. Scanning spectrum on line does not block cells
or disrupt ongoing services. However, only frequencies in use can be scanned.
l Site: indicates the site name of the cell to have its spectrum scanned. To query the site index,
run the LST BTS command.
l Cell: indicates the name of the cell to have its spectrum scanned. To query the cell index,

Frequency Discrimination to optimize the clock algorithm. eGBTS does not support this
function.
Prerequisites
l
The test base station is a BTS3900 series base station such as DBS3900 GSM, BTS3900
GSM, BTS3900A GSM, DBS3036, BTS3036, BTS3036A, BTS3900L GSM, BTS3900B
GSM, BTS3900E GSM and BTS3900AL.
Frequency discrimination: The clock algorithm enables frequency difference between the
clock reference and the Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) in use to be
periodically reported during frequency synchronization. The frequency discrimination
value symbolizes the difference between the two frequencies. The unit is ppb and one
thousand ppb equals one ppm.
Phase discrimination: Each time CPU interruption is triggered for phase discrimination,
the logical algorithm interrupts CPU and thereby enables phase difference between the
clock reference and the OCXO in use to be reported to software during time
synchronization. The phase discrimination value symbolizes the difference between the
two phases. The unit is ns.
Context
NOTICE
An alarm reporting a great frequency deviation will be generated when the frequency
discrimination value is large or dither is serious. In this case, there is great frequency difference
between the base station clock and the clock server. As a result, the clock is unable to be locked
for clock synchronization, which greatly affects ongoing services.
Procedure
Step 1 Click Monitor on the LMT main page. The Monitor tab page is displayed.
Step 2 Under Monitor Navigation Tree, choose Monitor > GSM Monitoring > Clock Test. The
Clock Test dialog box is displayed.
Step 3 In the displayed Clock Test dialog box, set parameters as required.
l Monitor Item: select PDV NetWork Dither or Phase/Frequency Discrimination.
l Site: indicates the index of the site to have its site clock monitored. To query the site index,
run the LST BTS command.
l Duration (10 min): indicates the duration for monitoring the BTS clock. The unit of this
parameter is 10 minutes.
NOTE
The PDV NetWork Dither item cannot be performed on BTSs that support Abis over TDM transmission.

10.1.2 Loopback
You can perform loopback on a transmission device or a transmission channel by using hardware
or software.
You can ascertain whether the hardware is working properly and the software parameters are
set correctly, based on the operating status of the transmission equipment, channels, services,
and signaling interworking, after the self-loopback. Loopback test is a common method for
locating transmission faults and faults in trunk parameter setting.
Remember to disable the loopback after the test. Otherwise, services will not be supported on
the channels under the loopback test.
Loopback is classified into timeslot loopback, port loopback, and speech loopback.

Timeslot Loopback
Timeslot loopback is used to loop back data carried by the timeslot in the specified direction, as
shown in Figure 10-2. In the scenarios where Bad speech quality, sound mute or noise is
experienced during a conversation, timeslot loopback can be started to locate the fault.
Figure 10-2 Timeslot loopback
You can set the loopback direction by selecting a loopback mode. By doing this, you can analyze
whether the fault is on the system side or on the transmission lines or whether it is a transmission
problem or software problem.
Timeslot loopback mode:
l
Remote loopback
The signals received on a timeslot are sent out without being processed. Remote loopback
refers to the loopback performed on the MSC side.
Local loopback
The signals that should be placed in the sending direction are placed in the receiving
direction as the received data. Local loopback is performed on the BSC side.
Port Loopback
Port loopback is used to loop back the data received or transmitted by the port in the specified
direction, as shown in Figure 10-3.

In the UP speech channel loopback over the A interface, the loopback point is set at the
RX port of the UP that receives the data from the A interface. Then, the data processed
by the UP is sent to the MS, and the data received from the A interface is sent out as
the source data. Therefore, the bi-directional loopback to both the MS and the MSC on
the UP is achieved, as shown in Figure 10-6.
In the UP speech channel loopback over the Abis interface, the loopback point is set at
the RX port of the UP that receives the data from the Abis interface. Then, the data
processed by the UP is sent to the MSC, and the data received from the Abis interface
is sent out as the source data. Therefore, the bi-directional loopback to both the MS and
the MSC on the UP is achieved, as shown in Figure 10-7.

When the service incurs errors, you can query the status of LAPD links. If the status of links is
Faulty, perform the loopback test to loop back the signals sent by the CPU, and determine
whether the transmission on the CPU of the corresponding board is normal based on the traced
signaling flow.
The loopback test can be line loopback and timeslot loopback. These loopback tests help to
locate the fault.
l
As shown in Figure 10-15, line loopback is performed at the port of the interface board. If
the line loopback is successful, then you can infer that the transmission within the BSC is
normal. Therefore, the fault lies in the transmission network or the peer end.

Context
This feature is applicable to the IP networking and TDM networking scenarios.
The speech in a system can be transmitted in sending direction and receiving direction. Each
direction has its own channel. On a speech channel, you can locate the segment where the speech
problem occurs by comparing the loopback speech with the original speech.
You can detect the speech channel fault by performing the remote speech channel loopback on
the A interface and the Abis interface.
Issue 08 (2014-06-09)

The loopback can be remote loopback or local loopback. That is, the loopback can be performed
in the direction towards the MSC or in the direction towards the MS.
For example, Figure 10-24 shows the loopback on the Abis interface board, UP board, and A
interface board in the direction of MSC in an IP network. If the result of the loopback on the A
interface board is normal, then you can infer that the speech problem is not introduced by the
BSC but by the CN or peer end. If the result of UP loopback is normal but that of the A interface
board is abnormal, then you can infer that the speech problem is located between the UP and
the A interface, and so forth.

Context
When looping back consecutive paths of a Subsystem on the EGPUa whose logical function is
GCUP board, you can choose to loop the speech signals from the MSC or BTS through the TC
subrack or not through the TC subrack. Therefore, you can determine whether the fault resides
in the DSP.

l
A interface loopback:
It supports the loopback towards the MSC and towards the BTS. The loopback towards the
MSC does not go through the TC subrack whereas the loopback towards the BTS goes
through the TC subrack.
If user B hears its own voice after a Subsystem speech loopback on the A interface whereas it
cannot hear its own voice after a Subsystem speech loopback on the Abis interface, then you
can infer that the fault resides in the TC subrack.
Similarly, if user A hears its own voice after the Abis interface loopback whereas it cannot hear
its own voice after the A interface loopback, then you can infer that the fault resides in the TC
subrack.

There are three administrative states: blocked, unblocked, and shutdown. An object can be
blocked or shut down only when the upper-level object is unlocked. If an object is blocked or
shut down, all the lower-level objects are blocked or shut down. For example, blocking a cell
locks all the TRXs and channels under the cell.
l
Blocked: If a cell, TRX, or channel is blocked, it becomes unavailable for services. Ongoing
calls under the blocked cell, TRX, or cell are forcibly handed over to another cell, TRX,
or channel without being interrupted. If the forced handover fails, however, call drops may
occur. New calls, however, cannot access the blocked cell, TRX, or channel.
Shutdown: If a cell, TRX, or channel is shut down, ongoing calls under the blocked cell,
TRX, or cell are not affected. New calls, however, cannot access the cell, TRX, or channel.
When dynamic data configuration that may affect the ongoing services (for example,
changing the channel type) is required, you need to block or shut down the target object
before dynamic data configuration.
When the speech quality of a cell, TRX, or channel is unsatisfactory and the relevant
hardware device needs to be replaced, you need to block or shut down the target object
before replacing the hardware device.

Step 3 Set parameters in the Frequency Band Scan tab page.
l Site, TRX No.: indicates the site and the number of TRXs to undergo a frequency band scan.
TRX No. uniquely identifies a TRX within one BSC6910.
l Frequency Band: indicates the type of TRX frequency band. You can query it by running the
DSP BTSBRD command.
l Start, End: indicates the start frequency and end frequency of a scan. The two frequencies
define the scan range. A scan is performed from the start frequency to the end frequency.
l Time Length
Hour, Minute: indicates the time length for a scan expressed in hours and minutes. The
length of Minute must be a multiple of 10.
NOTE
In the frequency band scan result, the unit of "Time Length" is 10 min. For example, if the value of
"Time Length" is 1, the test duration of frequency band scan is 10 min (1 x 10 min). Specifically, the
test duration of frequency band scan equals "Time Length" multiplied by 10 (min).
The formula for calculating the frequency band scan is as follows: Frequency band scan duration =
(Hour x 60 + Minute)/10. For example, if Hour is set to 1 and Minute is set to 30, the value of "Time
Length" in the frequency band scan result is 9 ((1 x 60 + 30)/10).
Step 4 In the Start tab page, select the task to undergo a scan and click Apply to start the scan.
NOTE
You can select multiple tasks to undergo a scan while holding down the Ctrl key.

Configuration alarms of TRX resources are managed in a hierarchical way for BTSs of the
BTS3900 series type that are not in normalization mode. Each alarm type consists of multiple
alarm branches. Each alarm branch consists of multiple alarm items. Each alarm option is related
to multiple alarm causes or alarm sampling points.
As the alarm system is hierarchical and large, users can only obtain information about alarm
branches on a maintenance terminal. No more information about bottom alarms is available. As
a result, it is difficult for users to identify specific configuration failure causes and clear alarms
accordingly.
With the help of this function, maintenance personnel can directly query information about alarm

Context
The TRX loopback test involves BIU loopback test and TRX self-loopback test.
l
The BIU loopback test is performed to check the timeslot transmission conditions on the
BTS internal data bus DBUS corresponding to the TRX signaling channel. The TRX sends
the data on the signaling channel to the corresponding signaling timeslot on the BTS internal
DBUS. Then, the data is looped within the TMU so that the TRX receives the signaling
data previously sent by itself. After the TRX receives the data, it compares the data with
the sent data and reports the BER to the LMT. Therefore, you can learn about the signaling
link quality of the BTS internal DBUS.
The TRX self-loopback test is performed to check the TRX conditions. It is performed
automatically by the TRX. You need not set Duration(Second) in this case.

You can set the browser under Citrix farm networking in the following ways:
l
Script setting: An automatic setting script is placed on the domain control server. After a
Citrix user logs in to the server, the script automatically sets the browser.
The Citrix server works in the farm mode. In farm mode, the primary Citrix server and secondary
Citrix servers work in cooperation to achieve load balancing. When a Citrix user logs in to the
Citrix server on a Citrix client, the server in use may vary. The proxy server of the browser
therefore may need to be set again and again. We therefore recommend setting the browser using
the script. With the script, each time the user visits the server, automatic setting of the browser
is performed.
The following procedure uses Internet Explorer (IE) as an example.
Procedure

12.27 The LMT Login Web Page Cannot Be Opened with the
PC OMU Installed
With the PC OMU installed in Windows 7, the LMT login web page cannot be opened. In
addition, the LMT process cannot be found in the task manager.
Context
Port 80 is the default port for LMT login. This problem occurs because port 80 is occupied by
a default HTTP service in Windows 7.
To confirm the cause, run the netstat naop tcp command at the Windows 7 command prompt
to check whether port 80 is occupied. If it is occupied by a process with the PID of 4, as shown
in the following figure, the problem occurs due to the cause.
This process is a system process and therefore cannot be closed directly. To close it, perform
the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1 In Windows, choose StartRun and enter regedit to open Registry Editor.
Step 2 Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP.
Step 3 Change the DWORD value of Start to 0.
Step 4 Restart the PC and log in to the LMT again.

Context
To enhance system security, the client browser uses Cookie to store the session information of
users who have successfully logged in. Due to the session Cookie mechanism, the user
encounters the following problems when using LMT:
l
Problem 1: For the same NE, the user desires to log in to multiple LMTs. After successfully
logging in to the first LMT, the user logs in to the second LMT of the NE, and the interface
displays "this user session already exists". This is because all browser windows opened by
the same user share the same session under the session sharing mechanism of IE8 or IE9
and Firefox enabled by default. As a result, when the user attempts to repeatedly log in to
the LMTs of the same NE, the system determines a repeated login of the same user session.
For the IE6/7 browser in which each browser window uses independent sessions, this
problem does not arise.
Problem 2: The LMT interface displays the error "this user session already exists", while
the user has not carried out the operation described in Problem 1. This is because the
previous session information remains valid due to an abnormal exit from LMT. As a result,
the LMT determines a repeated login attempt when the same user tries to login to the LMT.
This problem arises when the browser automatically recovers from breaking down during
use of the LMT, or when the pop-up LMT window is blocked by the browser pop-up blocker
enabled.
Procedure
1.
In the menu bar of the IE browser, click File > New Session, to start a new IE browser
window and log in to the LMT.
NOTE
This method applies only to the IE8 or IE9 browser, not Firefox. Users of the Firefox browser can
log in to only one LMT of a single NE.
The IE6/7 browser user needs to close the browser window of the current LMT login
interface, and the IE8/9 and Firefox users need to close all opened browser windows
to invalidate the old sessions.

The IE settings are modified when you log in to the LMT through IE, such as the settings
of the proxy. In this case, the access rights to the LMT page files are changed, leading to
access failures.
Automatic configuration in the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box is

resource locators (URLs) will be allocated to other security domains. Different security
domains have different restrictions on access rights. As a result, access failures occur.
