4 How to use this publication

This part describes how to use this publication.

Introduction

This publication contains the alarm description and refers to corrective maintenanceprocedures applicable to the BTS in UMTS BTS Hardware Maintenance Guides.

The general principles and messages required for BTS maintenance are described in AccessNetwork OAM Commands (411-8111-512).

Network maintenance is based on graphical supervision of the network. It is also based on theidentification and replacement of faulty items of equipment, using the alarms.

Description of a BTS alarm sheet

The alarm is displayed in the Additional Text field of the Alarm Manager window. Alarmdetails are displayed using the Show Alarms contextual menu or by selecting the View RawDetails menu from the Alarm Manager window as described into Alarm display of AccessNetwork OAM Commands (411-8111-512).

Note: There are two ways to view the alarm name:

• click on the Additional Text tab

• resize the Additional Text field at the top of the screen to view the entire alarm name.

An alarm sheet contains the following information:

• A description which contains the short explanation of an alarm.

• A table which contains the following information:

Alarm name: the specific problem of the alarm

BTS Type BTS Type

Object Class Object Class as it appears in the Alarm Managerwindow

Equipment Type Equipment Type List of equipment type for thealarms.

Alarm Type Alarm Type - Probable Cause Alarm type whichdepends on the causes of the alarm.

Severity

The BTS uses the following perceived severity:

• MAJOR: indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an urgentcorrective action is required.

• minor: indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that correctiveaction will have to be taken in order to prevent a more serious fault.

• CRITICAL: indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediatecorrective action is required.

• warning: indicates the detection of a potential or impending service-affecting fault, beforeany significant effects have been felt.

Remedial Action • Reset CEM/iCEM by a reset command onthe board object on the OMC-B. For more in-formation on reset, refer to Access NetworkOAM Commands (411-8111-512). OR resetthe CEM/iCEM by connecting to the TILthrough a remote connection. For more in-formation on a reset through the TIL, refer toBTS TIL Tool (411-8111-518).

• If the alarm persists, replace the CEM/iCEM.For more information on replacement, referto UMTS BTS Hardware MaintenanceGuides

• If the problem persists, call the next level ofsupport.

Remedial Action • Check if the alarm is transient: an end ofalarm appears. If the alarm is transient, callthe next level of support.

• If the alarm is not transient, reset CCM/iCCMby using the reset command on the OMC-Bboardobject. For more information on reset,refer to Access Network OAM Commands(411-8111-512). OR reset the CCM/iCCM byconnecting to the TIL through a remote con-nection. For more information on a reset by aTIL command, refer to BTS TIL Tool(411-8111-518).

• If the alarm persists, replace the CCM/iCCM.For more information on hardware replace-ment, refer to UMTS BTS Hardware Mainten-ance Guides

• If the alarm still persists, replace the CEM/iCEM and the TRM/iTRM. For more informa-tion on hardware replacement, refer to UMTSBTS Hardware Maintenance Guides

— If Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) isused, check that the IMA object is cre-ated. Rebuild the BTS if necessary.

— If IMA will not be used, check that theIMA object is not created. Rebuild theBTS if necessary.

— Look for the PCM number that will beused for communicating between theBTS and the OMC-B (it is usually PCM 1)

— Check that this PCM instance is created.Rebuild the BTS if necessary

2. Check the I&C configuration at the TIL

— If IMA will be used, check that the I&Cparameter IMA/PCM is set to IMA. If not,update the parameter.

— If IMA will not be used, check that I&Cparameter IMA/PCM is not set to IMA. Ifnot, change the parameter.

— Look for the PCM number that will beused for communicating between theBTS and the OMC-B (it is usually PCM 1)

— Check that this PCM number is correctlyset up in the I&C PCM/IMA record. if notupdate the record.

Note: When changing I&C paramet-ers make sure that they are compatiblewith the parameters in the transportnetwork, if not this could result in aloss of communication with the OMC-B.

This alarm is used to output the results of CALLP tests. A CALLP test is executed to test theresources of a CEM/iCEM module. During this test, each cluster of the CEM/iCEM is checkedto see whether it is operational or not.

The result of the CALLP test has the following format:

• For CEM:

— CEM n : x/y BBU1 abcd BBU2 abcd

• For iCEM64:

— iCEM64 n : x/y BBU1 abc

• For iCEM128:

— iCEM128 n: x/y BBU1 abc BBU2 abc

Note: where

• n: slot number

• x: number of RX clusters (RX DSP or MODEM DSP) that were tested and OK

• y: number of RX clusters that were tested

• For CEM, a, b, c, d represent the state of:

— a: RX1A

— b: RX1B

— d: RX2B

• For iCEM64 and iCEM128, a, b, c represent the state of:

— a: MODEM DSP1

— b: MODEM DSP2

— c: MODEM DSP3

• The state of a DSP is defined as:

— 0: test OK

5.7.28 Equipment Malfunction on DDM (INVALID DDM CABLING)

This alarm indicates that the BTS detected an inconsistency in the DDM digital wiring.

All the TRM/iTRM do not detect the same number of DDM.

This may happen for instance if DDM slot 1 is connected to interco connector DDM4.

Note: the BTS is not able to detect all erroneous digital wiring.

CAUTIONImpact on service and/or on the equipment

The service is not guaranteed.

5.7.29 Equipment Malfunction on DDM (DDMRECONFIGURATION)

The alarm indicates that the DDM has lost its configuration.

This alarm is only detected for sites configured with Tower Masterhead Amplifiers (TMAs).This is probably due to an internal reset of the DDM. In particular, this may happen in someBTS 12020 and with some hardware releases of DDM, after a power on of a MCPA module.

On detection of the lost DDM configuration, the BTS automatically reconfigures the DDM.

5.12.2 Communications Subsystem Failure on BTSEquipment(LOSS OF SUPERVISION): OAM_17

This alarm indicates that there is a loss of communication with the BTS. The loss ofcommunication can be due to several events like a restart of the BTS, a failed link, etc.

This alarm is raised:

• after the OAM-BTS link is unlocked by operator,

• when OAM-BTS link is seen faulty (detected by OAM Link surveillance),

• at reception of the message CONNECT_REQUEST coming from the BTS.

This alarm is cleared at the reception of the message NE_IS_READY coming from the BTS.

It is possible to have consequently 2 alarms LOSS OF SUPERVISION. For example, after aOAM-BTS link unlocked, a first alarm is raised. This alarm will remain until theCONNECT_REQUEST is received by the OAM. At this time, this alarm is cleared and asecond one is raised. This second alarm will be cleared when the NE_IS_READY message isreceived.

The 2 alarms are never visible together in the GUI.

CAUTIONImpact on service and/or on the equipment

The capacity is lost.
