<h2>Impact on NetAct products</h2>

<p>NetAct support for Common BCCH and Multi BCF is available
from OSS3.1 ED1 onwards. If this release is not available, it is not recommended
to activate Common BCCH and Multi BCF in the network. Otherwise the whole
management of radio network in the sites where Common BCCH and Multi BCF are
available will not work.</p>

<div class="topic">
<h3>NetAct
Radio Access Configurator (RAC)</h3>

<p>NetAct Radio Access Configurator (RAC) provides network
wide access and tools to configure Common BCCH and Multi BCF. The related
BTS radio parameters can be managed from NetAct Radio Access Configurator.
In BSC, Common BCCH and Multi BCF management is handled via Segment. In Radio
Access Configurator the segment management is done using a master BTS definition.
For more information, see <em>Maintaining Multi-BCF Sites</em>
in NetAct documentation.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Reporter</h3>

<p>Reporting for Common BCCH and Multi BCF is done by common
Nokia NetAct reporting tools. Network Doctor utilises segment as a new measurement
object. Segment replaces in many cases BTSs in reporting:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>presenting raw counters or KPIs result
in Segment_ID level instead of BTS level with the current ReportBuilder</p>
</li>
<li><p>defining the object (for example, segment
ID, BTS, etc.) aggregation method on top of the time aggregation formula in
the Formula wizard with ReportBuilder</p>
</li>
<li><p>selecting the Segment ID as hierarchy
and Segment ID as summary level in the dimension selection for report properties</p>
</li>
</ul>


<p>Note that the BTS level is still applicable in some cases,
although it is in many cases replaced by segment.</p>


<p>Common BCCH specific counters can be seen in Network Doctor
report 151:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>Intra Segment success in SDCCH HOs</p>
</li>
<li><p>Intra Segment success in TCH HOs</p>
</li>
<li><p>Inter Segment success in SDCCH HOs</p>
</li>
<li><p>Inter Segment success in TCH HOs</p>
</li>
</ul>


<p>The optional Network Doctor for BSS in ED2 (Network Doctor
version 3.1.5) utilises segments and, for example, the report Segment configuration
report (052) is supported. For detailed information on reports, see <em>BSS Network Doctor Reports</em> in NetAct documentation.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Administrator</h3>

<p>NetAct Administrator offers full support to Common BCCH
and Multi BCF admin tasks, for example:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>Fast download and activation of Common
BCCH and Multi BCF SW to BTSs via Nokia NetAct tools</p>
</li>
<li><p>Expandable SW archives</p>
</li>
<li><p>Storages for multiple SW configurations</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>NetAct
Planner</h3>

<p>Nokia NetAct Planner release 4.1 includes a set of radio
network and planning feature for Common BCCH and Multi BCF. This allows visibility
of Common BCCH and Multi BCF in radio network planning: creation of Multi
BCF master BTSs and Common BCCH allocations. Plans can be completed with Radio
Access Configurator.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Monitor</h3>

<p>Standard Nokia NetAct monitoring applications are also
used for monitoring Common BCCH and Multi BCF. All alarms are available in
NetAct monitoring tools.</p>

<h3>NetAct
Optimizer </h3>

<p>Optimizer supports BSS Common BCCH and Multi BCF. Internally
Optimizer creates Cell objects based on Segment ID and Master BTS flag information.
In geographical map view Common BCCH and Multi BCF Cells (Segments) are visible
entirely; non-segment BTSs are available as earlier. Two views are available
in Topology view: new cell (segment) view and old common object model view
(BSC-BCF-BTS). Adjacency, Power Control and HandOver Control objects are linked
to Master BTS in Cell (Segment).</p>
