Remote OMT





The Remote OMT Over IP is used to remotely perform OMT functionality from a TCP/IP network connecting BSCs.
The Remote OMT Over IP is mainly used for:
  • Getting detailed information about an RBS 2000 - The information can be used to remotely verify that an RBS 2000 is correctly configured and to perform preventive maintenance.
  • Fault localization of an RBS 2000 - Experts can use the Remote OMT Over IP to perform fault localization and to guide service personnel at site
  • Restart of a whole RBS 2000 or a part of an RBS 2000 - The same type of restart that is achieved by pushing a reset button in an RBS 2000 can be performed with the Remote OMT Over IP. This may be useful in situations with abnormal RBS behavior
  • Retrieve detailed information about an RBS 2000 remotely from a TCP/IP network connecting BSCs.
  • Perform fault localization of an RBS 2000 remotely from a TCP/IP network connecting BSCs. This means that it will be easier to prepare for a site visit and it will be possible for experts to remotely guide service personnel at site.
  • It is possible for a BSC to simultaneously handle four Remote OMT Over IP sessions. (Only one Remote OMT Over IP can simultaneously be connected to one specific RBS).
  • Perform "hardware reset" of an RBS 2000 remotely from a TCP/IP network connecting BSCs
  • The signalling is embedded in the LAPD signalling. A whole time slot does not have to be allocated for the OMT signalling as for Remote OMT.
  • It is much easier to establish a connection for the OMT signalling as it is not needed to setup a path in the transmission network. Just an access to the IP network connected to the BSC is needed.
  • The Remote OMT Over IP does not have to be equipped with any special hardware equipment as for Remote OMT which have to be equipped with a special communication board to emulate an E1/T1 transmission link.

The Remote OMT Over IP is an optional feature activated by the BSC.
The Remote OMT Over IP user is required to make an authentication by providing a password to be able to make a connection to the RBS. The password is defined by the BSC operator at the setup of the feature. It is also possible to define how long time the feature shall be activated and also to define the IP-address which the calling Remote OMT Over IP is supposed to have.
