<h2>Purpose</h2>

<p>In the BSC, the Gb interface protocol software is implemented
in the PCU plug-in unit, located in each Base Station Controller Signalling
Unit (BCSU). The IP transport can be used in parallel with FR under the same
BCSU. One Network Service Entity (NSE) and each PCU always uses either one,
IP or FR. Inside one BCSU, separate PCUs can use different transmission media.</p>

<div class="preconditions">
<a name="p2xhtm-repid-3" shape="rect"></a>
<div class="topic">
<h2>Before you start</h2>

<p>You must have the Gb over IP licence installed and activated.
The licence is based on capacity, that is, the number of PCUs.</p>


<ul>
<li><p>In the static IP configuration it does
not matter which end of the interface you configure first.</p>


<p>In the dynamic IP configuration, you should first configure
the SGSN end of the interface. This is because the BSC will attempt to run
the size and configuration procedures immediately after creating the IP NS-VC. </p>
</li>
<li><p>Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported in
the Nokia implementation of Gb over IP. Configuration of the PCU IP stack
is handled with the commands of command group QR when IPv4 is used, and with
the commands of the command group Q6 when IPv6 is used.</p>
</li>
<li><p>If you want to use the DNS name parameter
instead of IP address with either configuration, you must first configure
the DNS server address to the BSC with the MML command QRK or Q6K , and the
DNS server must be properly configured</p>
</li>
</ul>
