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 "BS5000 and Cobalt-Plus CLI

Operations and Configuration 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 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

changed without advanced knowledge of the system. Parameters that can be changed

are listed as follows:
