access to get information of the current user (client)

• OMS Service implementations are responsible for checking access
rights for the client to different functionalities and resources by
using a security context token supplied by the current session

MMI Windows
The EM MMI Window application provides a way to use the traditional MMLs in the Element
Manager. With the EM MMI Window you can send MML commands to the network element
you are connected to. Upon opening an MML session via the MMI Window, the system does
not ask you to enter your user ID, providing that the EM user has been mapped to an MMI
user.

PuTTY (Telnet/SSH Client)
• PuTTY is a Telnet and a SSH
client for Win32 and Unix
platforms, along with an xterm
terminal emulator.
• You can connect to the
OMS/FEWS with PuTTY (or any
other SSH-client)
NOTE! When you open SSH connection to FEWS or
OMS and you receive following error during logging
procedure:
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS
CHANGED! @
That appears, because the target has been reinstalled
with new software and the old identification key isn’t valid
anymore.
Remove the known_hosts row (which is informed on the
error message) from your home directory.
E.g .Offending key in /home/userid/.ssh/known_hosts:4
Or if that doesn’t help, remove the known_host file.
rm /home/userid/.ssh/known_hosts

BTS O&M Mediation

NMS
NWI3

RAN O&M
backbone
RNC

• The O&M connection between the
BTS and NetAct is built via BTS
O&M mediation.
• BTS O&M mediation means that the
RNC's mediation function converts
messages between the BTS O&M
interface and network management
interface (NWI3), as well as the
messages between the BTS O&M
and the RNC element management
interface (EMI).

BTS O&M Mediation Features (2/2)
BTS Performance Management data transfer
• OMS collects measurement data directly from the WBTS using O&M
interface.
BTS Licence Management
• The LM operation (download, upload, delete and status query) uses BTS
O&M mediation to mediate commands between BTS and NetAct.
OMS SW broadcast
• NetAct can update BTS’s SW using one sw download request. OMS
