BSS C ONFIGURATION AND U SER G UIDE

3.1.1 Registering the BSS Node

When you start (power-up) the BSS node, it initiates the

registration process and sends its information to the OMC

server. The IP address of the communicating OMC server is

in the default factory settings of the BSS node. The following

steps take place during the registration of the BSS node:

1. When BSS node is powered-up, it tries to connect to the

designated OMC over transmission control protocol (TCP)

interface.

2. If the two-way communication is successful, BSS and

OMC starts exchanging registration messages over TCP

interface.

3. BSS provides its information in the registration request

message.

4. OMC provides file transfer protocol (FTP) and simple

network management protocol (SNMP) related

information. For example, FTP user name, FTP

password, SNMP agent port, SNMP manager trap port,

SNMP read/write community, and other related

information.

5. OMC starts fetching data from BSS over SNMP.

LNote: BSS is preconfigured with OMC IP address default

factory settings.

After configuration of BSS with FTP and SNMP, the BSS

registers with the OMC and appears in the unAssigned

hierarchy of the OMC GUI.
