Description

Base Station ID

(Current and Configured)

The Base Station ID is the identifier of the AU/Micro Base Station to which the SU can connect. An SU can be authenticated by an AU/Micro Base Station only if the Base Station ID and Base Station ID Mask configured in the SU match the Base Station ID configured for the AU/Micro Base Station.

The Base Station ID consists of six groups of up to three digits each, where the range for each group is 0 to 255. The first three groups define the Operator ID, the next two groups define the Cell ID and the sixth group defines the Sector (AU) ID.

A change in the Base Station ID is applied only after reset.

Base Station ID Mask

(Current and Configured)

The Base Station ID Mask, together with the Base station ID, define the AU(s)/ Micro Base Station(s) that can synchronize with the SU.

The Base Station ID Mask consists of 6 groups of up to 3 digits each, where the range of each group is 0 to 255. The first 3 groups form the mask for the Operator ID. The next 2 groups form the mask for the Cell ID, and the last group forms the mask for the Sector ID.

A change in the Base Station ID Mask is applied only after reset.
