On completion of this course the participants will be able to:
4
Identify hardware components and interconnections of the relevant Group
Switch using online and exchange documentation.
5
Identify the hardware components and interconnections of the Input / Output
(IO) configuration, using O&M tools and online documentation.
6
Detect and solve intermediate level faults in IO hardware, using O&M tools and
online documentation.
7
Access and use IO logging functions in the detection and analysis of system
faults, using O&M tools and online documentation.
8
Access and use IO file processing functions to gather and distribute essential
exchange data, using O&M tools and online documentation.
9
Determine the actions of the Maintenance Subsystem (MAS) in supervising CP
hardware and handling CP faults, using O&M tools, exchange printouts, and
online documentation.
10 Determine the MAS actions in CP software supervision and recovery, using O&M
tools, online documentation, and direct observation.

This is a task-oriented learning course based on tasks in the work process given in a
technical environment using equipment and tools.
The instructor will act as a facilitator. The students work independently receiving assistance
only where necessary. Instances of pure lecturing will be limited. Hence students have an
opportunity in this course to implement concepts learned in previously attended prerequisite
courses, into practical skills.

IP in GSM Radio Access Network
LZU 108 7035 R3A
Description
This course covers the new Ericsson IP RAN R5 (PRAN) solution used by GSM, WCDMA
and LTE systems. The focus is the GSM RAN and its new and enhanced features. This is a
full IP connectivity solution aimed to enable a smooth and future proof introduction and
deployment of IP transport in RAN. If you are looking for more information about this
solution, this course is for you. It will provide you with knowledge about the new architecture

Remote Software Handling of AXE using Software
Management Organizer (SMO)
LZU 108 6107 R4A
Description
Do you know how to upgrade an AXE using Software Management Organizer (SMO)? The
execution of software distribution and activation has become a essential task for system
engineers. This course expands the competence of personnel working in the area of
software deployment for AXE based nodes and GSM RBSs.
The course covers the upgrade procedure of these network elements, including software
adjust and comparision of network elements, software distribution from OSS RC to the
nodes and monitoring of these jobs. To utilize the advantages of SMO in UNIX shell scripts
the non-graphical SMO interfaces are covered as well.
The execution of CP and APG40 backups including Backup Retention is explained and

Site Integration Unit Operation and Configuration
LZU 108 7280 R3A
Description
This course covers the new Ericsson IP RAN R5 (PRAN) solution for GSM, WCDMA and
LTE systems. The focus is the Site Integration Unit (SIU), used to implement many features
such as the introduction of the Abis over IP and Abis Local Connectivity Function (LCF).
Through the course the participants will understand the Managed Object Model and perform
complete SIU operation and configuration, for example, to check alarms and network
integration. Its important to know that Site Transport Node, or just STN, is the logical
representation of the SIU. So the STN is physically incarnated as the PicoSTN in RBS 2409
and as the SIU in all RBS 2000 PPC Macro and RBS 2000 Main Remote base stations as
well as in RBS 2308, 2309 and 2109.

Using the Fault Management eXpert (FMX) Tool
LZU 108 5148 R5A
Description
This course is based upon the release of OSS-RC R6.2/3 with FMX. The student will gain
knowledge about the purpose of FMX regarding the contents, functionality and the
connection to other applications in the management system.
The course will discuss the use of FMX as a tool to develop and maintain an expert system
for intelligent alarm handling, that is, to encorporate and apply expert knowledge in rules,
which are put into FMX modules. The main focus will be on how to create, develop and
administer FMX modules and rules.
In a safe training environment, the students are guided through structured exercises, where
mistakes are turned into a learning opportunity rather than creating network problems. The
course can also be delivered on site.
Learning objectives
On completion of this course the participants will be able to:
1
Describe what FMX is:
1.1 Identify where and how FMX is used in the management system and describe the
