4.2 Create a nano3G AP Attribute Configuration File
A file can be created from scratch in a text editor, or can be started from the configuration of
an existing AP. To create a configuration file from scratch, simply open a text editor and
enter the required configuration details.
For information on the syntax of the configuration file, see section 4.1. For example
configuration files, see section 4.3.
To start a configuration file by saving the configuration of an existing AP:
1) Start an OMC-R Client session.
Note: For full information on using the OMC-R Client, see [OPM_410].
2) In the Explorer pane of the OMC-R Client, find and select a suitable 3G AP object
to use as a template. That is, select an AP of the same type as the target AP.
3) Right-click on the AP object and select Save Attributes to File. The Save
Attributes Wizard will appear.
4) Select the radio button for the required location. For the purposes of creating a
template for another AP, saving To Local File is recommended.
When saving To Local File, the target directory and file name may be changed.
When saving To Server File (on the OMC-R Server), the directory and file name
are set automatically and cannot be changed. The file is named as follows:
AP-<Serial_number>-<Object_name>-<Date_Time>.txt
Where the <Serial_number> for the AP ensures the file name is unique, the
<Object_name> can make individual APs easier to identify and the <Date_Time>
is the date and time the file was created.
5) Click Finish to save the configuration file.
The file will contain all writable attributes. That is, all attributes that can be changed
from within the OMC-R Client. Most of these will be at default values.
6) Edit the file in a suitable text editor, and adjust the configuration as needed for the
new AP, or any number of new APs. If the file will be used as a general template
that will be loaded on multiple APs, remove the ObjectInstance= line from the file.
Note: Use a text editor that can edit Unix text files. Windows® WordPad can be
used, but Notepad is not suitable.
