Alarm Handling

Alarm Handling
2.1Alarm information and classification

The alarm management of the LTM system is an important part of BTS local operation and maintenance. The LMT
system, after it is put into operation, can perform centralized monitoring on the overall running condition of the BTS
for the purpose of real-time maintenance and recovery.
Whether the Abis link is connected through or not, the LMT system permits the maintenance personnel to query the
alarm status of boards in the site, and view the site alarms and rack alarm information on the LMT alarm viewing
interface.
Boards that may send alarms include:
1. Boards in the public shelf: operation and maintenance unit (OMU), BS interface equipment (BIE), clock unit (CKU),
external alarm collection module (EAM), signaling distribution unit (SDU) and power supply (PSA).
2. Boards in the carrier shelf: frame unit (FU), carrier unit (CU), power supply (PSB), power
amplifier (PA), combiner HYCOM and multi-coupler MUL.

1 Equipment Maintenance 1.1Maintenance description The objective of daily maintenance is to ensure

an optimized working condition of the product, so that the whole network runs properly. The
classification of the daily maintenance of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A), together with the maintenance
requirements and recommendations will be described below.
1. Maintenance classification Daily maintenance of ZXG10-BTS (V1A) can be classified into routine
maintenance and emergent maintenance. The routine maintenance refers to periodical maintenance,
which is divided into daily routine maintenance and regular routine maintenance by their maintenance
periods. Emergent maintenance refers to the maintenance tasks to be immediately executed as
required by sudden failures of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A) equipment and network adjustment, e.g.,
equipment failure, user-reported fault, and the emergent problems found out in routine maintenance.
Emergent failures are characterized by abrupt occurrence and serious influences on the QoS, so the
maintenance personnel in the equipment room are required to handle them decisively, cautiously and
in-time. A detailed record must be made afterward so as to eliminate potential faults.
2. Maintenance requirements and recommendations The daily maintenance of ZXG10-BTS (V1A)
equipment is a major task for the maintenance personnel in the equipment room. Excellent daily
maintenance is a key factor to ensure long-term stable running of the equipment. Therefore, a set of
equipment room maintenance regulations should be formulated to regulate and guide the work of the
maintenance personnel. The followings are some basic requirements and recommendations for daily
maintenance:
1) The maintenance personnel should implement the daily and regular routine check strictly and keep a
detailed record without any omission. 2) The maintenance personnel must keep the equipment room
safe and tidy, with proper temperature and humidity. 3) The maintenance personnel should follow the
equipment operation specifications strictly, -1-
avoid any operations on the equipment beyond the daily maintenance specifications, e.g., arbitrarily
plugging/unplugging, resetting, starting and switching over the equipment, or changing the data; and
should wear an anti-static wrist strap when accessing the hardware system, and store the damaged
parts and the spare parts in anti-static bags, which should be labeled of the category and stored
properly.
4) The person in charge of the equipment room should keep the user accounts, passwords and the user
authorities for login to the local operation & maintenance console and to the network management
system, and distribute them to relevant persons according to their specific authorities, so as to define
the responsibility and authority clearly.
5) The maintenance personnel should handle detected problems and faults in time, report major
problems to relevant supervisors in time and contact the local office of ZTE to get an early solution,
which should be recorded in detail afterward.
6) Before on-duty, the maintenance personnel must undergo necessary training. Different maintenance
positions should be assumed by persons of the corresponding technical levels. 7) The frequently used
tools and instruments should be checked, repaired and calibrated before use to ensure their proper
conditions. Generally, the following tools and instruments are recommended to be prepared in the
equipment room.
A. Tools and auxiliary materials: screwdriver (flat-head and Phillips), diagonal pliers, cable stripper,
unpacking pliers, electric iron, chip-extractor, programmer, eraser, tweezers, spanner, electrical drill,
tape, anti-static wrist strap, insulating tape and cable tie.
B. Instruments: Multimeter, thermometer, humidity meter, optical power meter and earth resistance
tester. 8) The power supply of the system should be kept stable and reliable, and the grounding of the
system should be checked regularly. 1.2Routine maintenance 1.2.1Daily routine maintenance Daily
routine maintenance includes the following items: 1. Equipment room environment 1) Temperature
requirements: -2- Maintenance Manual for ZXG10-BTS (V1A)
Ambient temperature requirements: -5˚C ~ +45˚C; recommended to be always kept between 15˚C ~
30˚C. A thermometer should be available in the equipment room, and the maintenance personnel
should check it daily and make a record in detail; an air conditioner is recommended to be installed in
the equipment room to meet the temperature requirements for long-term stable running of the
equipment.
2) Humidity requirement Relative humidity requirement: 15%~85%; recommended to be kept at

40%~65%. A humidity meter should be available in the equipment room, and the maintenance
personnel should check it daily and keep a record in detail. A humidity conditioning device is
recommended to be installed in the areas where the humidity is seriously improper, especially, a damp-
proof device is recommended in areas of high humidity and anti-static floor is recommended in areas of
low humidity.
3) Working status of the air conditioner Check whether the air conditioner (or other humidity
conditioning devices) can work normally according to the preset temperature (humidity) requirements,
and handle the faults in time if any.
4) Dust-proof During the daily maintenance, the equipment should be kept free from dust or
contamination. It is recommended to apply dust-proof sealing rubber strips around the windows and
doors of the equipment room, adopt double-layered-glass sealed windows and wear union suits and
special shoes in the equipment room to diminish dust. In addition, strong magnetic, electrical or
corrosive materials should not be present inside or around the equipment room so as to prevent from
harmful particles.
2. Equipment running status 1) Querying the alarm information Check the site alarms and rack alarms in
the alarm query window of the operation & maintenance center (OMCR) of the BSS or the LMT of the
BTS, keep a detailed record of the alarm information, and contact the technical personnel in time to
locate and eliminate faults.
A. In the OMCR of the BSS, the current alarms are displayed in real time, and the rack diagram and the
alarm statuses of boards are displayed dynamically in the main interface -3- Chapter 1 Equipment
MaintenanceAlarm Handling
of alarms. The recovered history alarms, current alarms and ordinary notifications can be queried as
needed. For the procedure of querying alarms, please see ZXG10-BSS (V1A) Operation Manual; for the
alarm causes and handling process, please see ZXG10-BSS (V1A) Maintenance Manual. B. Whether the
Abis link is connected through or not, the LMT system of the BTS permits the maintenance personnel to
query the alarm status of boards in the site, including alarm mode, alarm location, alarm content, fan
running condition and rack temperature. Multiple alarms may exist on the same board at a time, and the
board color on the alarm viewing interface represents the top alarm level existing on this board. Click
the board, and all alarm information on this board will be displayed. For the procedure of querying
alarms, please see ZXG10-BTS (V1A) Operation Manual; for alarm causes and handling process, please
see Chapter 2 of this Manual.
2) Running status of boards Check whether the indication of the indicators for each board in the rack is
normal. If any alarm indicator is on, contact the technical personnel in time to locate and eliminate the
fault. The running information of the ZXG10-BTS (V1A) mainly comes from the indicators on the panels
of modules such as OMU and TRU. By the different flashing meanings of the indicators, you can
determine the running status of the equipment basically. For the meanings, causes and handling of
various indicator statuses, please see Section 3.1 of this Manual.
1.2.2Regular routine maintenance Regular routine maintenance includes the following items: 1.
Checking the BTS modules Check the amount, model and version of spare modules once a week, and
make sure that the spare modules are stored in compliance with the requirements, with adequate
amount and the convenience to find. Check the back-to-fix conditions of faulty modules once a week.
2. Hardware checking: once a month. 1) Cleaning the rack Clean the surface of the cabinet, clean and dry
the air filter at the bottom of the cabinet; check whether the cabinet is rusted, and whether there is any
unrelated article in the cabinet. Report any difficult problems in time if any, so as to get an early repair.
-4- Maintenance Manual for ZXG10-BTS (V1A)
2) Checking the connection of power cables
Check whether the power cables are connected tightly, and whether there is rust.
3) Checking the connection of grounding cables
Check whether the grounding cables are connected tightly, and whether there is rust.
4) Checking the power modules
Check whether the power supply of each shelf can work independently. Contact the technical personnel
in time for any problem so as to fix the problem. 3. Transmission Check the connector tightness of the
transmission cables from the optical terminal/microwave rack to the BTS rack once every quarter, and
keep the transmission cables free from twisting, pressing, deforming and over-tightness; and test the
spare ports.
4. Antenna and feeder system Adjust and calibrate the direction and pitch angle of the antenna once
half a year; tighten the antenna, outdoor jumper, feeder cable and indoor jumper; apply rust-proof
treatment to the antenna pole, feeder cable rack and grounding bar which are subject to getting rusty;
test the VSWR of the antenna and feeder system, the transmitting power of the PA; and perform a
general test on all frequencies of all cells of each BS.
1.3Emergent maintenance Emergent maintenance refers to the maintenance task which needs to be
handled immediately in response to the emergent fault of ZXG10-BTS (V1A) equipment. Emergent faults
are characterized by abrupt occurrence and serious influence on the QoS, so the maintenance personnel
of the equipment room are required to handle them decisively, cautiously and in-time. A detailed record
should be made afterward so as to eliminate potential faults.
Generally, the emergent handling process and measures for emergent faults can be summarized based
on the following two types of faults: 1. Emergent faults and disasters in the environment of the
equipment room 1) Major faults: Fault of the power supply system; floods, fires; faults of the air
conditioner system which cause the temperature and humidity severely beyond the specifications. -5-
Chapter 1 Equipment MaintenanceAlarm Handling
2) Maintenance measures: When any alarm information is observed from the OMCR of the BSS or the
LMT system of the BTS, perform an immediate inspection on the environment of the equipment room,
locate the fault cause, and eliminate the fault quickly. Afterward, report to the superior leaders and
keep a detailed record to eliminate potential faults.
2. Emergent fault of the equipment 1) Major faults: including hardware faults, e.g., damage of boards
and modules, not-in-position, poor contact, and software faults, e.g., disorder of data and program, and
improper upgrading. 2) Maintenance measures: A. Through plugging/unplugging, some faults such as
not-in-position and poor contact of the hardware system can be solved; through the replacing or
isolation method, the faults such as hardware damage can be located; the data disorder can be queried
and corrected through operations in the OMCR of the BSS or the LMT system of the BTS.
B. Faults of the software and hardware are numerous and complicated. If the above simple methods fail
to solve the problem, please contact the technical personnel or the regional office of ZTE Corporation,
report to the relevant leaders, and keep a detailed record afterward so as to eliminate potential faults.
1.4Typical maintenance methods In daily maintenance, several typical maintenance methods can be
used as follows: 1. Observation method Locating the fault by viewing the alarm information of the LMT
of the BTS. The observation method is the first method the maintenance personnel should use in case of
fault occurrence. Making a correct judgement on the observation result is a key step for correct analysis
and handling of the fault. Therefore, the maintenance personnel must be very familiar with the indicator
statuses of the boards, and fully aware of the meanings of the alarm information of different levels on
the LMT of the BTS.
2. Plugging/unplugging method When a circuit board is initially found faulty, plug/unplug the circuit
board and the external interface connector to eliminate such faults as poor contact or processor
abnormality. Make sure that the board must be hot-swappable when this method is applied.
3. Replacing method The replacing method is to check the fault by replacing the circuit board in
question with a normal circuit board. When the plugging/unplugging method fails, the replacing method
can be applied. When plugging/unplugging and replacing the board, please see the precautions and
operation procedure for replacing the boards and parts as listed in Appendix A.
4. Isolation method When a part of the system is faulty, the involved circuit board or racks can be
isolated to check whether the fault comes from mutual impact. For example, a typical application of the
isolation method is to self-loop the I/O interface of a circuit board so as to isolate and solve the problem
of the related system.
5. Self-test method When the system or circuit board is powered on again judge if there is any fault by
way of self-test. Usually, when a circuit board is re-powered on for self-test, the indicators on its panel
will flash regularly, so that we can check whether the circuit board itself is faulty.
6. Pressing method
Such faults as poor contact can be removed by pressing the chips and cable connectors.
7. Comprehensive method
Any fault can be cleared by combining the above methods and taking advantage of one’s maintenance
experience. 1.5Relevant maintenance tables 1.5.1Routine maintenance and operation record table The

2 Alarm Handling 2.1Alarm information and classification The alarm management of the LTM system is
an important part of BTS local operation and maintenance. The LMT system, after it is put into
operation, can perform centralized monitoring on the overall running condition of the BTS for the
purpose of real-time maintenance and recovery.
Whether the Abis link is connected through or not, the LMT system permits the maintenance personnel
to query the alarm status of boards in the site, and view the site alarms and rack alarm information on
the LMT alarm viewing interface.
Boards that may send alarms include: 1. Boards in the public shelf: operation and maintenance unit
(OMU), BS interface equipment (BIE), clock unit (CKU), external alarm collection module (EAM), signaling
distribution unit (SDU) and power supply (PSA).
2. Boards in the carrier shelf: frame unit (FU), carrier unit (CU), power supply (PSB), power amplifier
(PA), combiner HYCOM and multi-coupler MUL. 3. Others: fan, temperature. In terms of real-time
handling, the alarms include ordinary notifications and alarms. Ordinary notifications only indicate
unrepeatable or transient faults during the system running. Usually, if a notification is not frequently
repeated, it may be caused accidentally by the environment, which needs no handling; if a notification is
frequently repeated, or even the alarm occurs for a long time, it must be checked and solved in time.
An alarm usually lasts for a certain time. According to the severity in the system, alarms are divided into
four levels. Following is the division of the four alarm levels, as shown in Table 2-1. -11-
Table 2-1 Division of alarm levels Alarm level The scope of

Appendix A Replacement of Boards and Parts A.1 Overview In the course of daily maintenance, replacing
the faulty board is a frequently used and critical maintenance method. It is suggested that, when
replacing a board, the maintenance personnel of the equipment room must contact relative technical
personnel or the personnel in the regional office of ZTE Corporation for technical support and
instruction.
In the course of replacing the board, attentions should be given to the following principles. 1. The spare
parts should be kept in anti-static packing bags (in which small bags of moisture absorbents are
recommended), which are stored in cartons properly according to different types. The anti-static bags or
cartons should be labeled of the types for easy identification.
2. Before replacing, carefully check whether there is any damage to the spare parts or whether there is
any component missing, and make sure the spare board type is completely identical with the type of the
faulty board to be replaced
3. Put on anti-static wrist straps when plugging/unplugging boards. When holding a board with your
hands, never touch the circuit, components and devices or wiring slots on the board. Never use
excessive force in plugging/unplugging, for fear of damaging the pins or slots on the boards or the
backplane.
4. The replaced faulty board should be put into anti-static bags, and stored properly according to
different types. 5. After unplugging the faulty board, install a standard filler panel in the vacant slot to
prevent dust and for decoration, if no spare parts are available then. 6. When replacing an active board,
switch over the active/standby boards first to turn the standby board into the active status. 7. When
replacing PA or HYCOM, please make sure to pull out the input cable of the module before pulling out its
output cable. On the contrary, connect the output cable first before connecting the input cable, so as to
avoid no output connection when there input into PA or HYCOM.
-123-
8. Make sure to insert the module in position, and tighten the panel screws of the module. 9. For
replacing the power board and MP, plugging/unplugging with power-on is strictly prohibited. A.2
Replacement of the public shelf board Replace the public shelf board in the following steps: 1.
Preparations for the replacement 1) Determine that the board is faulty and needs a replacement
through fault observation and analysis. 2) Make sure that the spare part functions perfectly and with the
identical type of the faulty board. 3) Prepare some anti-static bags, small bags of moisture absorbents,
cartons for different types as well as some labels for making marks. 2. Replacement steps: 1) Put on the
anti-static wrist strap. 2) When replacing an active board, switch over the active/standby boards first to
turn the standby board into the active status. 3) Loosen the retaining screws on the panel, then pull the
spanner on the faulty board outwards and downwards with a proper force of one hand. When the board
is separated from the slot and bounces out of it, pull the board out gently with the other hand holding
the bottom of the board. In the course, try your best to avoid touching the components and circuits on
the board with your hands.
4) Put the replaced faulty board into an anti-static bag containing small bags of moisture absorbents,
paste on the bag the label of the board model, the program version and such word as “faulty”. Store the
faulty boards properly in the cartons according to different types. The cartons should also be pasted
with corresponding labels on the exterior for later identification and handling.
5) Insert the spare board into the specified slot of the plug-in frame in accordance with its name. Press
the spanner on the board with the thumb and push in the board with proper force until the spanner is
locked, indicating that the board is placed in position. Then tighten the
screws on the panel. 6) If an active board is replaced, switch over the active/standby boards once again
after the replacement so as to turn the new board into the active status. 3. Confirm after the
replacement When the board is just plugged in, it will take some time for self-test. If the self-test is
successful, the indicator will display normally and the service is resumed, indicating successful
replacement. Refer to Chapter 3 in this manual for the judgement method of the indicator status
display. If the self-test fails, i.e., the self-test is repeated endlessly or the final display is abnormal, and
the service of the relative unit is not resumed, it indicates unsuccessful replacement. Then please check
and determine once again whether the spare part is damaged, or the cause of the fault does not lie in
this board, then locate the fault through observing the alarms in LMT.
A.3 Replacement of the carrier shelf board Replace the carrier shelf board in the following steps: 1.
Preparations for the replacement
1) Make sure that the board is faulty and needs replacing through fault observation and analysis.
2) Make sure that the spare part functions perfectly with the identical type of the faulty board.
