This course gives an introduction to the various Core Network applications available in OSS-RC 12.2 for the Packet and Circuit Switched domains, covering the core nodes for GSM and IMS. This course also gives an introduction to the various GSM applications for management of Ericsson BSS. Along with identifying the OSS applications and tools for management of specific GSM nodes, and Core network nodes, there are also a number of common applications that will be described in this training, such as those used for fault (FM) and performance management (PM). The course approaches network management proactively, introducing the OSS-RC applications that are used for the following key aspects of network management: Finding the current status of the network, and troubleshooting the network in the event of errors. Identifying trends in the network, predicting problems and optimizing the network as a result. Regular maintenance tasks to keep the network running smoothly at all times. After the course, the participants should have a basic understanding of how to use all the common OSS-RC applications and of how to proceed using the application themselves. Note: This course covers the management of Core and GSM networks only using OSS-RC but some participants may require knowledge of other technologies, in which case one of the following courses may be more suitable: OSS-RC 12.2 Operations (LZU1089069) All technologies OSS-RC 12.2 Operations for GSM (LZU1089070) OSS-RC 12.2 Operations for Core (LZU1089072) OSS-RC 12.2 Operations for Core and WCDMA/LTE (LZU1089074) OSS-RC 12.2 Operations for WCDMA/LTE (LZU1089073)
