Abstract

The invention relates to a radio system including one or more network elements, a base station controller and a network management system that are operatively interconnected by means of telecommunication connections, and to a method of testing telecommunication connections of a network element to be install in the radio system. Information between the network elements is transmitted in frames that are divided into time slots, and the base station controller controls one or more network elements being physically connected to the system by means of the telecommunication connections. To enable reliable and fast installation of the network elements, the network element transmits to the base station controller a message including information that the network element is ready to be tested. The base station controller initiates a testing procedure after receiving the message. The testing includes all channels between the base station controller and the network element.
