<h1>BSC Hardware Configuration Management</h1>

<p>With the functions of the BSC Hardware Configuration, the
capacity of a BSC can be increased, or new features can be taken into service
in a controlled manner during its operation.</p>


<p>New units can be installed into existing hardware without
the risk of functional disturbances in the traffic-transmitting part of the
BSC. Here the possibilities offered by hardware redundancy can be made use
of by installing the hardware of the new unit first to that half of the control
part that is separated by means of software management.</p>


<p>The hardware configuration management provides the services
for the operator through the MML interface. The management includes creating
and deleting racks, cartridges, functional units, and plug-in units. The configuration
data of the units can be defined and displayed.</p>


<p>Wired alarm inputs can be opened and closed, and the open
alarm inputs can be listed.</p>
