The transport network affects the Automatic OMCH Establishment feature. Therefore, before commissioning an eAN3810A,O&M engineers must check whether the OMCH networking and the network equipment meet the configuration requirements of the corresponding scenario. Check Methods O&M engineers can check whether the transport network meets the configuration requirements of the Automatic OMCH Establishment feature by using either of the following methods: Method 1: Confirm with the department in charge of the transport network whether the transport network meets the requirements. Method 2:  Check the network connectivity. If nodes in the transport network can be pinged, ping the port corresponding to each node to check whether the transmission channel at each node is ready.  Check whether the network equipment at each node is configured as required to ensure that an eAN3810A can automatically establish the OMCH. Preparing Dialing Test Tools Dialing tests are performed by using test terminals to check whether deployed eAN3810A can provide services properly. Prepare test terminals and ensure that the test subscriber identity module (SIM) cards have registered with the Core Network. 1.3.4 Initial Configuration Using the LMT This section describes the procedure for initial configuration of the eAN3810A using the LMT.
