1 Summary
This document can be useful for learning some commands about GSM,
because they are not as friendly as moshell. It is necessary to know a
little of GSM

2 Scope
Can visualized the structure of MOs and provide some definitions. Show
some examples and prints of the commands, as well as giving a better
vision of the syntax of the commands in GSM.

3 Template Description

In GSM, it is necessary to identify the structure of the commands so it’s easier to learn. First, it’s
needed to learn some parameters about of MO’s (Management Object).
A MO is

This is a basic structure of MOs in a node:

Description about of the MOs:

 TG (Transceiver Group): It is a set of MOs representing a BTS; it doesn’t correspond to a

physical entity in BTS.
 CF (Central Functions): The CPU in DXU. Handles O&M for all BTS equipment except the
TRUs: SW loading, HW Supervision, layer 2 and 3 communication with BSC.
 TF (Timing Function): Provides TDMA synchronization for MO TS (217 Hz frame sync,
271 kHz bit sync) and reference frequency (13 MHz) for radio synthesisers in MO TX and
RX. The oscillator in TF uses 8 kHz from TS0 on A-bis as a long-term reference frequency.
 IS (Interface Switch): That is the interface between BSC and TRUs.
 CON (Concentrator): Optional. Performs uplink LAPD concentration.

 TRX (Transceiver): The CPU in a TRX/TRU handles O&M for the transceiver: SW loading,
HW supervision, layer 2 and 3 communication with BSC. Also handles traffic signalling
between BSC and the TSs. An RBS6000 can contain up to 12 TRXs.
 RX (Receiver): Demodulation of a radio carrier, uplink
 TX (Transmitter): Modulation of a radio carrier, downlink.
 TS 0-7 (time slot handler): Handles LAPDm signaling and signal processing for one Um
TS. There are 8 TSs per TRX/TRU.
 MCTR: The complete multi carrier transceiver functionality implemented in the RUS HW,
including one MCPA and the corresponding receiver part.
 IPM is a parameter set per MCTR MO to activate and deactivate the temporary power
override functionality, to better utilize the MCPA power. Default value is OFF.
 PAO is a parameter set per MCTR MO to decide whether overbooking of MCPA power
shall be allowed or not. If it is set to ON the sum of maximum TX power values of all TXs
using given MCPA may exceed the maximum mean power of MCPA. To utilize this mode
the parameter must be set to MANUAL. If it is set to OFF the sum of maximum TX power
values of all TXs using given MCPA may not exceed the maximum mean power of MCPA.
Default value is OFF.

In GSM, the commands have 4 kinds of termination and with the two first letters; it is possible to
know what it’s being referred. This is a list of common commands and the description:

 P= Print
 I= Initiate
 C= Change
 E= End

The acronym RX is for MOs and RL is for cells, another example is DT, this is for transmission
(DIP=Digital Path). The next picture shows some examples:

To check cell parameters, it’s necessary the acronym of the site and know how much sites there
are. In this example the site is BERAJU and there are 6 sectors, the termination in the cells name
is an specific sector, it is visualized in the next commands:

Usually, the acronym of the site refers to the name of the site, these are some examples:

NAME OF SITE ACRONYM SECTORS

BERAJU BERAJU BERAJU1, BERAJU2, BERAJU3
SAN JUAN CENTRO JSJCEN JSJCEN1, JSJCEN2, JSJCEN3, JSJCEN4, JSJCEN5, JSJCEN6
GTMC1 GTMC1 GTMC11, GTMC12, GTMC13
WHYNDAM SPB011 SPB011A, SPB011B, SPB011C, SPB011D, SPB011E, SPB011F
MGCKS01 4CKS01 4CKS011, 4CKS012, 4CKS013, 4CKS014

Sometimes in the termination there is a letter (A, B, C, D, E and F).

With these points, the syntax will be better understood. Now, here are some prints in BSC:
