【How to check】GSM Security Encryption Algorithm A5 Status - Part 2(B) Highlighted

In the previous post 【How to check】GSM Security Encryption Algorithm A5 Status - Part 2(A) I have showed how to How to check the GSM Security Encryption Algorithm A5 Feature Activation Status through Configuration Report Management.

In this post, I will show you how to check the Security Encryption Modes on Cells-Level via Configuration Report Management on U2020.

Note: This guide is based on web-based U2020 of following version to check the GSM Security Encryption Modes on Cell-Level.

Access the web-based U2020 & log in with your credentials.

Once you logged in, you can either search for 'Configuration Report Management' in Deployment or you already have it in Recently Used or My Favourite.

Access 'Configuration Management Report'

Once 'Configuration Management Report' is loaded, double-click to open 'GCELL BASIC PARA' Report Template under BSC > GCELL > GCELL BASIC PARA on right navigation bar. (as seen in picture below)

Note: GCELL BASIC PARA report template is customized and can be created by selectin new report button (Create Report) and then search for GCELLASICPARA in the attribute.

After double-click on 'BSCBASIC' Report Template under BSC > BSC > GCELL BASIC PARA the following option will pop up. Select the desired BSCs/NEs to right to make your selection

Once Selected, Click OK

The report will extract and show the data of the selected NEs as below:

Here we can also filter out the desired data.

On the data output listed, press Cltr+A to select All records, then right click to Save As

Now Save into the desired folder on your local system as below:

Now you can open the exported report to see the data for further workings as required.

Just like we did in the earlier post, by Running a MML command LST GCELLBASICPARA on BSC to check whether the A5/3 Encryption Algorithm is already enabled or not. In this post we did the same Security Encryption Mode check through GCELL Basic Para data Extraction in excel format throug Configuration Report Manamgement on U2020.

This method is recommeded over MML method, due to large number of NEs/CELLs are involved or  data is desired in report (excel) format.

Unlike the MML method mentioned earlier in the post which shows the result in below format, here in Excel report data we haveSecurty Enctryption data of particular cells listed as ONEs & Zero.

MML Output of Securty Enctryption data of particular cell

Securty Enctryption data through Configuration Report Management

So how to read this ONEs & ZEROs or Binary Format?

These 8-bits information represent Security Algorithm A5/0, A5/1, A5/2, A5/3, A5/4, A5/5, A5/6 & A5/7
