Base Station Configuration Files
The radio will ship from the factory with preset configuration files.
The operation of a base station is determined by a set of configuration parameters organized
into the following files in the application partition.
This section describes the key configuration elements for the BS5000 base station on a per file
basis. Be aware the configuration files contain many other parameters which should not be
modified.
Detailed configuration information for BS5000 can be found in the "Airlink Configuration Release
Manual" for your software version.
The following tables describe the key files in the Base Station (BS5000) radio:
Filename
/root/BS5000/start_bs.sh
/root/BS5000/bs_config.xml
/root/BS5000/BS_snmpbuild/snmpd.conf
/root/BS5000/MSProfiles
/root/BS5000/serviceprofiles
• start_bs.sh – This is the base station configuration file. It can be a single file or a file the
base station uses when it's initially booted up. This file will be custom tailored by
Siemens based on each customer's requirements. Changes should be coordinated with
Siemens.
•
bs_config.xml – This is the symbolic link file (pointer file) that points to the file that
contains the majority of the configuration information for the base station. It contains the
IP configuration, system information which includes the channel bandwidth, the RF
information which includes TX/RX frequency, and many other configuration parameters.
These configuration parameters, their definitions, and possible values can be found in
the "BS5000 and Cobalt-Plus Parameter Configuration Manual" for your software
version. As a note, many parameters in this file are interrelated and should not be
