3.2 BASE STATION CONTROLLER
3.2.1 BSC.exe description
The core software for the TetraFlex
®
system is the Node Software (BSC.exe) running as a
service under Windows XP or Windows 7. It can run on both the BSC421 and BSC412 Base
Station Controllers (and on an ordinary PC or Server as well), and adapts automatically to the
detected hardware platform. The BSC.exe service contains all the functions needed to run a
complete Tetra system, including Subscriber Register with Security Key Register, Radio Cell,
Voice Gateway, Packet Data Gateway (extern connection) / Server (Tetra-Tetra connection)
and Application gateway.
The software supports the use of Redundant Base Station Controllers, as one BSC will be
active and the other BSC standby. Communication and supervisory between the two BSC’s
will ensure, that the standby BSC automatically takes over, if the active BSC fails.
