How do I bind a radio plane?

You can bind a radio plane by executing the Bind Radio Plane to Transport Service workflow. Navigating to this workflow is possible from SRT, as described in this procedure, and the workflow can also be executed directly from Workflows. See the NSP Network Automation Guide for more information about using the workflows function.

Note: Executing more than one binding operation at a time is not supported.

Note: The “Bind to L3 VPN” action is not supported for radio planes with virtual IP addresses.

In Network Map and Health, Overview scroll to the Simplified RAN Transport Equipment and Bindings Summary.

2 

Click a bubble to automatically scroll to the Radio Plane Bindings table for that category, for example “Not Bound Radio Planes”. The table is set with a filter criteria matching the selected bubble.

Click More png4.png and select Bind to L3 VPN. Workflows opens to create the radio plane binding.

Note: If you scroll away from the Radio Plane Bindings table and it is minimized, scroll back to it in the Data Page, click More png4.png and select Expand Size.

In Workflows, enter the required parameter configuration and click Execute. Mandatory parameters are identified by a star.

Note: “T-BTS Radio Plane Source IP Address” is set by default to the IP address of the L3 VPRN SAP. The value must be changed to another valid IP address in the same subnet.

Note: Parameters to configure a radio plane with a virtual IP address are not available or supported.

Wait until the end of the workflow execution (status will display success or error). In case of error:

  • Click Quick View to view the reason for the error.

  • Fix the error and repeat the binding operation.

In case of success, go back to the Radio Plane Bindings table and click on the “Content updated on date/time(Click to update)” bubble or wait for an automatic refresh. After a few minutes (the BTS may reboot), the table is updated.
