e.g 2: 14-Loss of Signal at Ir interface
Detail Description
Optical signal between BBU and RRU is lost,
which will affect system normal running.
Possible Causes
Failure in the fiber optics, the optical module,
or the connection on this level board.
The board on the lower level is not properly
powered on.
Failure in the fiber optics, the optical module
on the lower level board.
Hardware failure on the lower level board.
Impact on system
The board connected with the optical port is faulty.
Service Impact:
The board with the failure works normally, but the
board with optical port has failure.
The "Loss of Signal at Ir interface" alarm occurred to
the FS functionality board during the RRU reset
process is an accompanying alarm. The
services beard by the system will be interrupted
during the reset process.
If the alarm occurs to the FS functionality board, all
the services of the system will be interrupted.
If the alarm occurs to the RTR, the services beard
on the lower level RRU will be interrupted.
System Actions
None.
Handling Suggestions
Check for the failure in the fiber optics, the
optical module, or the connection on this
board.
Check the power supply to the lower level
board.
Check for the failure in the fiber optics, the

e.g 5: 5-Clock reference source is lost
Detail Description
When main control board cannot detect
signal input from external reference
clock source, it works in free oscillation
state. When this happens, the system
will report this clock reference source
lost alarm.
Possible Causes
The configured clock reference source does
not exist.
Failure with the external reference clock or
its cable.
The board failure.
Impact on system
Board operation is normal.
When E1 connection is used by Iub interface,
then periodical slide code might occur to
the Iub interface. When FE connection is
used by Iub, then there is no System
Impact.
The impact to the soft handover between
Node B base station: over a long period
of the alarm, the accuracy of the Node B
clock might degenerate and fail to meet
the 3GPP requirement and reduces the
success rate of soft handover.
System Actions
None
Handling Suggestions
Check if an incorrect reference
