Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) was produced by the Special Mobile Group (SMG)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS provides the conceptual and methodological framework for the definition of a standardized
approach to the management of a PLMN within the Digital cellular telecommunications system. This ETS
corresponds to GSM technical specification, GSM 12.00, version 4.5.1 and is part 1 of a 2 part ETS as
described below:
GSM 12.00 ETS 300 612-1: "Digital cellular telecommunication system (Phase 2);
Network Management (NM); Part 1: Objectives and structure of Network
Management".
GSM 12.01 ETS 300 612-2: "Digital cellular telecommunication system (Phase 2); Network
Management (NM); Part 2: Common aspects of GSM Network Management".
NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give technical specifications for the
implementation of the Digital cellular telecommunications system. Historically, these
documents have been identified as GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs). These
specifications may subsequently become I-ETSs (Phase 1), or European
Telecommunication Standards (ETSs)(Phase 2), whilst others may become ETSI
Technical Reports (ETRs). These ETSI-GSM Technical Specifications are, for editorial
reasons, still referred to in this ETS.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 31 August 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 30 November 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 31 May 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 May 1997
Introduction
The goals of implementing a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and its continued effective operation,
administration and maintenance are important issues. The creation of a system for the management of a
PLMN, implemented according to the specification series 01 to 11 and the open, multi-vendor
environment, demands a level of standardization of the inter-connectivity of the management components
and their functionality. A system for Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM), using concepts of
telecommunications management networks (TMN), potentially provides for a suitable degree of
management integration in achieving these goals.

ETS 300 612-1: August 1996 (GSM 12.00 version 4.5.1)
Approach
In order to achieve the above aim, the GSM 12 series of specifications has been devised, taking into
account the following:
- GSM system philosophy, as given by the GSM 01 to 11 series of specifications, which define key
functional areas.
- Relevant standardization work on network management and open systems management (as well
as its realization, Telecommunications Management Network, TMN) already carried out by ISO,
CCITT, ETSI etc.
- Existing operator and manufacturer experience in the management (i.e. operating, maintaining,
administering) of telecommunication networks.
Accordingly, this ETS, and the other specifications of the 12-series, should adhere to the following
guidelines:
- There should be internal consistency of the 12 series with the relevant system aspects given in 01
to 11 series Specifications, so that a commonly agreed view of the realization of a PLMN emerges.
- Avoidance of "re-writing" existing recommendations and specifications, but only referencing those
applicable as far as possible. However, to ensure harmony with any such existing documents, some
general items, such as definitions and figures may be reproduced within the 12 series if they are
deemed important or helpful in establishing a common understanding.
- Analysis of current network management concepts and experience both with a top-down and
bottom-up approach, so that a comprehensive and realistic management concept emerges.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) provides the conceptual and methodological
framework for the definition of a standardized approach to the management of a PLMN. (This framework
is elaborated in the remainder of the 12-series specifications) It introduces concepts developed for the
management of telecommunications networks by other standards groups, discusses their use in the
context of the management of a PLMN, defines a complete context for PLMN management information
and identifies the developments of other management models which can be beneficially employed in the
global and integrated management of a PLMN.
This ETS also describes the methodology to be employed in the definition of the standardization activity
and the scale of the results which are expected to be achieved.
PLMN management is described in terms of the objectives for the Operator enterprise. Relationships exist
between network management functionality and functionality required to support the enterprise model.
While the definition of the enterprise model is outside of the scope of this series of ETSs, an
understanding of the requirements is necessary so as to provide the underlying network management
procedures.
Field of application
The concept of the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) has developed as the result of a
demand for a common management approach to the management of the diversity of equipment types,
functionality and service provision inherent in modern telecommunications networks. This diversity is also
apparent in a PLMN and the adoption of the TMN concept can provide a common management
methodology for:
- public and private networks (including mobile);
- transmission terminals;
- transmission systems;
- restoration systems;
- operations systems and their peripherals;
- digital and analogue exchanges;
- area networks;
- circuit and packet switched networks;
- signalling terminals and system
