Configuration Management, simply, is the process of putting in place the essential hardware and
software components of the network, and determining their operating capabilities.
Hardware Configuration: Hardware Configuration enables the operator to control the placement in
service of BSS hardware, the manner in which deployed hardware elements will act and interact
within the BSS, and to modify the parameters that control these elements. It also permits the operator
to view the current hardware configuration status of the network
Logical Configuration: There are two types of Logical Configuration:
Radio Logical Configuration allows the operator to change the parameters that control the Air
Interface. This includes channel definitions, manipulating and reconfiguring the CUs or TREs and the
definition of Frequency Hopping Systems (FHS).
Cell Logical Configuration displays and modifies BSS logical parameters and threshold values which
influence a cell's operational behaviour. These are divided into several classes which simplify
searches. It also allows the operator to see additional information about cells which is used during
cell creation, modification and deletion
Software Configuration: Software Configuration enables new versions of the BSS software to be installed
in the BSS. This feature also allows the operator to display current software versions of the BSS.
