TIL overview
With the TIL tool you can install, test, and maintain the following Node Bs:
Use the TIL tool on first installation to configure the minimum parameters required for connecting the
Node B with the RNC/OAM access.
TIL functions
The TIL tool:
provides basic maintenance and test capabilities for all Node B modules
TIL description
The TIL consists of a laptop PC with a web browser connected to the active CCM of the Node B.
The TIL software is part of the CCM software and is loaded onto the TIL PC before connection to the
Node B. The TIL software is then always consistent with the Node B software release.
24
The Node B can also download its own software from a CD-ROM.
The TIL software offers an intuitive and graphical user interface (GUI) described in Understanding
the TIL GUI.
The following figure shows the TIL communication architecture.

Peer-to-peer connection
Remote connection
Peer-to-peer connection
In the peer-to-peer connection mode, the CCM/iCCM port 2 and xCCM port 1 have a hard-coded IP
address. This address is factory-defined and is independent of the module. Thus, you always know
the IP address used to access the CCM for a peer-to-peer connection. An IP aliasing mechanism can
be used to define more than one IP address on the same interface.
The following figure shows the TIL peer-to-peer connection mode.
Figure 3 TIL peer-to-peer connection
The TIL is connected to the front panel of the CCM module using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
If the connection between the TIL and the Node B is successful, the green LED on the connected
port of the CCM module is lit up.
Remote connection
27
For a remote connection, you must know the public IP address of the CCM/iCCM/xCCM module in
the Node B. This public IP address can be fixed or dynamically assigned by a DHCP server. The TIL
does not handle dynamic IP address allocation of the CCM/iCCM/xCCM . If the IP address of the
module changes between two TIL connections, you have to know his new IP address for the second
connection.
The following figure shows the TIL remote connection mode.

Node B modes
This chapter describes the Node B connection and operating modes.
Stand-alone.
The Node B is in stand-alone mode if there is no communication between the Node B and the
OMC-B and the RNC (for more information, see Reset in stand-alone mode).
Connected.
The Node B is in connected mode if it is operational, linked to the network, and can receive
messages on the Iub interface during TIL connection (for more information, see Reset in
connected mode).
To switch the Node B from connected mode to stand-alone mode, you must reset the Node B using
the TIL (Reset in stand-alone mode). At the end of the reset you must reconnect the TIL terminal to
the Node B. If there is no TIL reconnection within 15 minutes, the Node B automatically reboots to
return to connected mode.
Normal mode.
In normal operating mode the Node B is connected to the OMC-B and it can be configured and
operated using the TIL and the OMC-B in parallel without any restrictions.
Maintenance mode.
When a Node B is set to maintenance mode using the TIL, it should only be configured and
operated with the TIL. The OMC-B user is warned that it is not recommended to issue commands
to the Node B when it is in maintenance mode and connected to the TIL for site maintenance. For
more information, see Managing the Node B maintenance mode.

RF TX Cabling Test
Use the RF TX cabling Test command to graphically display the following RF cabling formation,
according to the site configuration:
217
a Selected TRM slot number list box. It indicates the slot number of the TRM board for which
you want to perform the cabling test. It depends on the selected TRM and cannot be modified.
An Use Frequency Test from Config File checkbox. This option allows to use the
frequency (DL-UL) from configuration file (DLU) or not. If this option is selected, it will
disable Frequency Channel Number and will use DLU frequency.
an Enter Frequency Channel Number field, for entering the frequency channel number that you
want to test.
1900, 2100, 900, and 850 checkboxes, which indicate the Node B frequency bandwidth. The
Node B frequency bandwidth depends on the Node B hardware configuration. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends to keep the bandwidth configured by default.
During the RF TX Cabling building, the TIL checks that the test frequency channel is within the
Node B frequency bandwidth.
You can start the RF cabling test when the Node B is in maintenance mode only.
Two main cases are to possible:
RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is not built, or when the Node B MIB is built but no
cell is configured
RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is built and the cells are configured
RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is not built, or when the Node B MIB
is built but no cell is configured
If the Node B MIB is not built or if the Node B MIB is built but no cell is configured, you can choose
any frequency within the Node B frequency band as the test frequency. The TIL sends the OAM the
218
test frequency as an alternative to the one that is included in the Node B configuration file. If the test
frequency sent to the OAM is different from the one in the Node B configuration file, the OAM uses
the alternative test frequency from the TIL and performs the test with the TRM board. The RF cabling
is then dynamically generated.
If the alternative test frequency sent by the TIL to the OAM is the same as the test frequency
included in the Node B configuration file, RF cabling test results previously saved into the EMOAM
database are used and the RF cabling is not dynamically generated.
The following figure shows an example of RF TX cabling representation when the Node B MIB is not
built, or when the Node B MIB is built but no cell is configured, and the alternative test frequency is
different from the test frequency included in the Node B configuration file:
RF TX cabling display when the Node B MIB is built and the cells are configured
When the Node B MIB is built and the cells are configured, the only accepted test frequency is the
test frequency of the DLU file. RF cabling test results previously saved in the EMOAM database are
used (at least test done during last Node B reset) and the RF cabling is not dynamically generated.
To have a dynamic result you have to lock the cells.
The following figure is an example of RF TX cabling representation.
219
After you perform RF TX cabling display, you must reset the Node B.
Fur further information, see Displaying the Node B TX radio cabling configuration.

the optical interface(s) of a CxOIM board. The Current alarms display window appears, showing
the status of the 9341 RRH alarm(s), if an alarm was triggered.
221
Force Tx emission
You can select the Force Tx emission command from the contextual menu obtained by
right-clicking on one of the optical interfaces of a CxOIM board. This command forces the laser
transmission between the selected optical interface of the CxOIM board and the linked 9341 RRH,
whether the optical interface is receiving a laser transmission from the 9341 RRH or not.
After you select Force Tx emission the command is changed to Unforce Tx emission.
Select Unforce Tx emission to stop the laser transmission of the optical interface, after you
performed a Force Tx emission, and when there is no 9341 RRH connected to the optical interface.
Block Tx emission
You can select the Block Tx emission command from the contextual menu obtained by
right-clicking on one of the optical interfaces of a CxOIM board. This command disables the laser
transmission between the selected optical interface of the CxOIM board and the linked 9341 RRH,
222
whether the optical interface is receiving a laser transmission from the 9341 RRH or not.
After you select Block Tx emission the command is changed to Unblock Tx emission.
Select Unblock Tx emission to unblock the laser transmission of the optical interface, after you
performed a Block Tx emission.
Note: When the optical link between a CxOIM and a 9341 RRH is blocked, an RRH reset is
necessary in order to establish the link again. Otherwise the RRH is not seen as "tx emitting". The
RRH reset is necessary for the RRH to be synchronized with the CCM.
Select Unblock and unforce all Tx emission to stop all the Tx emissions of a CxOIM after you
performed a Force all Tx emissions, and when there is no 9341 RRH connected to the CxOIM
board.
223
After you select Block all Tx emission the Block all Tx emission command is replaced with an
Unblock and unforce all Tx emission command.
Select Unblock and unforce all Tx emission to unblock all the laser transmissions of the CxOIM
board.
Note: After the optical links between a CxOIM and the 9341 RRHs have been blocked, it is
necessary to reset all the RRHs connected to the CxOIM board in order to establish all the links
again. Otherwise the RRHs are not seen as "tx emitting". The RRH reset is necessary for the
RRHs to be synchronized with the CCM.
Snapshot
You can select the Snapshot command from the contextual menu obtained by right-clicking on a
CEM, a CCM, a TRM, a RRH or on the optical interface of a CxOIM board.
