WCDMA RAN W11 Troubleshooting

LZU1087887-R1A

Description

Once the WRAN network is up and running, how are faults detected and handled in the Connectivity Packet Platform (CPP) based WRAN nodes? How does Ericsson local/field support enable and collect logs from a CPP node?

WCDMA RAN W11 Troubleshooting explains how, once a fault is detected, logs are collected to be included in Customer Service Requests (CSRs). It also gives an overview on how Ericsson enables traces and sets up the environment to collect logs, so that they can be appended to the CSRs. This training is useful for operation and maintenance personnel to get an understanding of the different logs in a CPP based node, how traces are enabled/collected and also to get an overall picture of the fault handling process in a WRAN network.

Both IP and ATM based transport networks are covered in the course, although the focus is on the latter. Telnet sessions (for CLI access) and the Advanced Managed Object Scripting (AMOS) tool from the OSS-RC are used during the training.

Customer Product Information (CPI) is used as course material.

Learning objectives


1 Understand the system concepts, redundancy and configurations in CPP1.1 Use CLI/AMOS commands to understand Fault Tolerant Core (FTC) concept1.2 Use CLI/AMOS to understand Reliable Program Uniter concept1.3 Be able to interpret Managed Object attributes to explain how interfaces are

configured from a CPP based node using Element Manager and AMOS1.4 Understand how link redundancies work in both ATM and IP based transport

interfaces1.5 Understand the concept of moveable Connection End Point (Mv CEP)1.6 Understand the file system in a CPP based node1.7 Be able to perform an emergency recovery of a CPP based node from a backup

placed outside of the node

2 Use the applications in OSS-RC, Element Manager and Command Line Interface (CLI) that are important during a troubleshooting procedure.

2.1 Start and understand when to use the following applications in OSS-RC: Transport Network Viewer, Job Manager, Alarm List Viewer/ Alarm Status Matrix, WCDMA RAN Performance Measurements, Common Explorer GUI, Node Status Analyzer and Cabinet Equipment Viewer, Advanced Managed Object Scripting (AMOS) interface and Node Command Line Interface (NCLI).

2.2 Lock and restart boards and nodes including the soft/hard lock concepts2.3 Check the status of the Manage Objects to find out the health of the node2.4 Understand when CLI is used and when Element Manager/NCLI are used
