Alarm Classification
According to the generation time, alarms are classified into:
Active alarm: An active alarm is a fault alarm not recovered in
the BSC6000 system
History alarm: A history alarm is an alarm generated in the
BSC6000 system
History alarms consist of the following:
Fault alarms recovered
Fault alarms not recovered
Event alarms

Alarm Classification
According to the alarm nature, alarms are classified into:
Fault alarm: A fault alarm is an alarm that is reported to the
network management equipment when equipment has faults or
exceptions. After the faults or exceptions are processed and
cleared, the alarm is cleared
Event alarm: An event alarm is a alarm generated to indicate a
transient state during equipment operation. Some event alarms
are generated periodically. Event alarms are only to notify that
the system is in alarm state and thus do not require handling

Basic Concepts of Alarms
Alarm serial number: The alarm serial number is arranged
on the basis of alarm raised time. The alarm serial
number is the only index in the alarm logs. The alarm
generated and the alarm cleared use the same alarm
serial number

Alarm name: The alarm name has a one-to-one mapping


with the alarm ID

Alarm raised time

Recovery time

Alarm ID: An alarm ID defines a type of alarms and


represents a specific type of faults or events. Alarm ID
is the only index of alarm item, and is the main
keyword of the alarm configuration table in the network
management system

Basic Concepts
Alarm severity: Critical Alarm, Major Alarm, Minor Alarm, Warning Alarm

Alarm Definition Handling method


severity
Critical Alarms that affect the services provided by the Handle the alarms immediate
system ly.
Critical alarms must be handled immediately even Otherwise, the system may b
if they are generated outside working hours. If the e unavailable.
equipment or resources are totally unavailable, the
equipment or resources have to be recovered.
Major Alarms that affect the quality of service Handle the alarms in time.
Major alarms must be handled during working Otherwise, some major functi
hours. If the quality of services provided by certain ons may be affected.
equipment or resources decreases, the equipment
or resources need to be recovered.
Minor Alarms that do not affect the quality of services but Check the alarm causes and
may lead to more serious faults eliminate them.
Minor alarms need handling in proper time or
further check.
Warning Alarms indicating that there may be faults affecting Learn the running status of
the quality of services the system

Basic Concepts
Classification of network management: The network management
is divided into power system, environment system, signaling system,
trunk system, hardware system, software system, operating system,
communication system, quality of services, processing faults, and so
on

Location information: Location information is the information used to locate


alarms. The location information in the alarm recovery report is the same as that
in the corresponding fault alarm report

Alarm type: Fault alarm or event alarm

Alarm Clear Flag: The sign indicates whether an alarm is cleared.


The Flag is either not cleared or cleared

Shield Flag: The Shield Flag shields the alarm information not required

Basic Concepts
To Alarm Box Flag: To Alarm Box Flag controls the alarm
reporting to the alarm box

Synchronization Serial Number: The synchronization serial


number is arranged on the basis of the sending time of the
alarm report. The synchronization serial number ranges
from one to 0x7ffffffe (hexadecimal) in a cyclical order

Connection of Alarm Box
Connection scheme: Through the serial port, the alarm box is
connected to the LMT client
When an alarm is reported, LMT uses the Convert program to drive
the alarm box to generate an audible and visual alarm

The operator uses the LMT alarm console to control the alarm box,
for example, stopping the alarm sound and the alarm indictor

Channel to Report Alarms of Local Subrack
Process of reporting alarms of the local subrack:
SMU generates alarms
After being screened and filtered on SMU, alarms are switched through GE and
reported to GBAM
GBAM reports alarms to LMT/EMS and records the alarm log
The Convert module of LMT drives and output the alarm box

Channel to Report Alarms of Remote Subrack
Process of reporting alarms of remote subrack:
The remote subrack SMU generates alarms
Alarms are screened and filtered on SMU
Alarms are switched through GE to the GEIUT of the local subrack, and then
sent through SS7 link of the Ater interface to the GEIUT board of the central
subrack
The GEIUT board of the local subrack switches alarms through GE and
reports to GBAM
GBAM finishes corresponding output (send the output to LMT/EMS and
records the alarm log)

Channel to Report BTS Alarms
Process of reporting BTS alarms:
Alarms generated at BTS are screened and filtered inside the BTS
Alarms are sent through OML links and sent to EIUB of the local subrack.
Alarms are processed through LAPD protocol on the EIUB, switched
through GE, and sent to GBAM
GBAM finishes the alarm output (reports alarms to LMT/EMS and records
the alarm log)
