Create and activate Gb interface

1.-Create the Frame Relay Bearer channel with the FUC command. FUC:<bearer channel id>:<access rate>:<external pcm>,<first external tsl>: <unit type>,<unit index>,<PIU Index>; 2.-Check the creation with the FUI command. FUI:ID=<bearer channel id>; 4.-Create the network service virtual connection (NS-VC) with the FWC command.(The NSEI and NS-VCIs have to be in line with the SGSN side.) FWC:NSVCI=<network service virtual connection identifier>,NAME=<network service virtual connection name>,NSEI=<network service entity ID>:<data link connection identifier>,<committed information rate>:<bearer channel name>; 5.-Unlock the channel(s) with the FWS command. FWS:NSVCI=<network service virtual connection identifier>:<state>; 6.-Check the creation and state with the following FWO command: FWO:NSVCI= <network service virtual connection identifier>;

Create and activate Gb interface

Example: bearer channel id CHANNEL_01, ACCESS RATE: DTE PORT, PCM 35, TSL 1, BCSU 1, NSVCI = 2, NSVCI name MAIN_CG_02, NSEI 1, DLCI 16, CIR = 64 kbps.
ZFUC:,CHANNEL_01:DTE,15:35,1:BCSU,1,<PCU INDEX>; ZFUI:NAME=CHANNEL_01; ZFWC:NSVCI=2,NAME=MAIN_CH_02,NSEI=1:16,64:,CHANNEL_01; ZFWS:NSVCI=2:U; ZFWO:NSVCI=2;

Activate GPRS on a cell level

1.- Check that the RA object has been created. Use the following EBP command.
EBP;

2.- Check to which SGSN the RA object is connected. 3.- Use the EBF command to create the Routing Area.
EBF:MCC=<mobile country code>,MNC=<mobile network code>,LAC=<location area code>,RAC=<routing area code>:NSEI=<network service entity id>;

4.- Use the EBP command again to check that the creation was successful.
5.- Check the radio network parameters with the EEO, EQO, ERO, and EUO commands. If you need to change the values, change them before enabling GPRS in the cell. 6.- Use the EQV command to enable GPRS on a cell level.
EQV:BTS=<BTS identification>:GENA=<GPRS enabled>,RAC=<routing area code>,CDED=<dedicated GPRS capacity>,CDEF=<default GPRS capacity>, BFG=<prefer BCCH frequency GPRS>;

Activate GPRS on a cell level

Example:
ZEBP; ZEBF:MNC=1,MCC=1,LAC=1,RAC=1:NSEI=1; ZEBP; ZEQV:BTS=1:GENA=Y,RAC=1,CDED=0,CDEF=3,BFG=Y;

Points to Remember
1 PCU supports 64 cells or 128 TRXs or 256 GPRS TSLs 1 NSEI = 1 PCU = 1 BCSU = 1 Gb interface 1 NSEI can have max 4 NSVCIs DLCI has a range of 16 to 991 CIR should be less than or equal to Bearer Access Rate RAI = MNC + MCC + LAC + RAC RAC should be defined for all NSEIs (1 RAC can have multiple NSEIs attached to it) 1 LAC can have multiple RACs Dedicated GPRS capacity should be less than or equal to Default GPRS capacity BCSU controlling DAP should be same as BCSU controlling that NSEI (The NSEI given by the user must be the same as the NSEI (PCU) defined for the Dynamic Abis Pool which the TRXs of the cell are using.) DAP must be located on the same PCM as TRXSIG and the fixed traffic timeslots.
