2 Introduction to the eNodeB LMT

2.1 Functions of the eNodeB LMT


The eNodeB LMT deploys the eNodeB and identifies and clears faults locally. Use the LMT to operate and maintain the eNodeB in any of the following scenarios: l l l When the transport link between the eNodeB and the M2000 is unavailable, use the LMT to start the eNodeB locally. When the eNodeB fails to communicate with the M2000, use the LMT to identify and clear faults locally. When alarms are generated on the eNodeB and related boards must be replaced locally, use the LMT to identify and clear faults.
NOTE

When the eNodeB communicates with the M2000 properly, Huawei recommends that you operate and maintain the eNodeB at the network management center (NMC). When you must obtain information from the M2000 for fault identification, the M2000 may fail to provide adequate information because it manages many network elements (NEs). At this time, use the LMT to operate and maintain the eNodeB.

The LMT provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which helps users operate and maintain the eNodeB on the web page. It implements the following local operation and maintenance (O&M) functions: l l l l l l l l Running eNodeB MML commands Managing eNodeB alarms Running MML commands in batches Tracing messages Monitoring eNodeB performance in real time Software Management Enabling the eNodeB to perform self-test Maintenance

Connection Port Requirements


If the computer installed with the LMT cannot visit NEs because of firewalls between them, ports 20, 21, and 80 must be enabled by the firewall. If the computer must visit NEs using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), port 433 must be enabled by the firewall. Ports 20 and 21 are used for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). They need to be enabled in the case of file transfer using FTP. Port 80 is used for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) by default. That is, the port is used for a web server by default. Port 433 is used for the HTTPS by default.

Communication Capability Requirements


The computer installed with the LMT must support TCP/IP protocols. The minimum effective network bandwidth for the LMT is 512 kbit/s. The recommended value is 2 Mbit/s or larger.
NOTE

l The network bandwidth limits the web page opening speed. If the recommended effective bandwidth is provided, the LMT runs fast. If a 512 kbit/s bandwidth is provided, all the functions can be performed but the LMT runs slowly. l The effective bandwidth is the bandwidth occupied by the LMT. If multiple applications compete for the bandwidth, the LMT may run slowly even if a 2 Mbit/s bandwidth is provided.

2.3 Components of the LMT Main Window


This section describes the components of the LMT main window and the functions of each component.

5 Managing eNodeB Alarms or Events

5.1 Basic Concepts Related to eNodeB Alarm or Event Management


Before managing eNodeB alarms or events, you must understand basic concepts related to eNodeB alarms or events, alarm or event definition, alarm or event log, alarm or event severity, and network management (NM) alarm or event type.

5.1.1 Basic Concepts Related to Alarms or Events


This section describes the basic concepts related to fault, event, and engineering alarms.

Fault Alarm
A fault alarm is generated when a hardware is faulty or a major function is abnormal. A fault alarm has a higher severity than an event. Based on the status of the faults, fault alarms can be categorized into active alarms and cleared alarms. l l If a fault is cleared, the status of the alarm changes to cleared. This type of alarm is called a cleared alarm. If a fault is not cleared, the status of the alarm remains active. This type of alarm is called an active alarm.
NOTE

You can search a database for cleared alarms.

Event Alarm
An event notifies users of important information when the system is running properly. Users need not handle an event when it is generated.

Engineering Alarm
l l If an NE is being installed, commissioned, upgraded, expanded, or relocated, the NE is in the engineering state. The following are engineering alarms: alarms reported by physical or logical equipment in the engineering state; alarms that are generated by the peer equipment but are associated with the alarms reported by the equipment in the engineering state; cleared alarms corresponding to engineering alarms.

5.1.2 Alarm or Event Log


The alarm or event logs record detailed information about each alarm or event generated by the system. In this way, all alarms or events can be easily queried. You can obtain the detailed information about eNodeB alarms or events from the alarm or event logs. For details about how to query the alarm or event logs, see 5.2.2 Querying Alarm or Event Logs.

5.1.3 Alarm Severity


The alarm severity indicates the severity of an alarm. Based on the severity, all alarms can be categorized into four types: critical, major, minor, and warning. Table 5-1 describes alarm severities and handling suggestions. Table 5-1 Alarm severities and handling suggestions Severity Critical Definition Service-affecting condition. Critical alarms require immediate attention, and must be cleared immediately. For example, faulty devices are repaired or unavailable resources are restored. Degradation of service, not a complete loss of service. Major alarms must be cleared during working hours. For example, device performance and resource performance improve. Handling Suggestion Alarms must be cleared immediately. Otherwise, the system may break down. These alarms must be cleared in time. Otherwise, some important functions cannot be implemented. This helps maintenance personnel identify and clear potential problems in time. You only need to learn about the operating status of the system.

Major

Minor

Non-service-affecting condition. Minor alarms must be handled within a certain period to avoid severer problems.

Warning

Potential service-affecting condition. Warning alarms must be cleared as required.

5.1.4 NM Alarm Type


Based on network management (NM) standards, alarms are categorized as follows: l l l l l l l l l
Issue 01 (2011-09-15)

Power alarm: related to the power system Environment alarm: related to environment of the equipment room Signaling alarm: related to service signaling Trunk alarm: related to the transport subsystem Hardware alarm: related to boards Software alarm: related to software Running alarm: related to system running Communication alarm: related to the communication system QoS alarm: related to QoS.

6.1 Overview of Message Tracing


The section describes message tracing management functions and the internal process of message tracing.

Functions of Message Tracing Management


Message tracing management traces interfaces, signaling links, UEs, and internal messages. It applies to routine equipment maintenance, debugging, and fault location. Tracing functions are as follows: l l l l l l l l Tracing messages over the S1 interface Tracing messages over the X2 interface Tracing messages over the Uu interface Tracing SCTP messages Tracing IFTS messages Tracing CMPv2 messages Tracing MAC messages Tracing IEEE1588 V2 messages

Internal Process of Message Tracing


The internal process of message tracing involves creating a tracing task on the LMT and reporting results to the LMT. l Creating a tracing task on the LMT 1. 2. 3. After you create a tracing task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the eNodeB to create the task. The eNodeB allocates an ID to the task and forwards the command to the tracing management module of a specified board. After receiving the command, the tracing management module records the parameters for tracing contained in the command in the filter table and sends messages to the service processing module. The service processing module updates the local filter table based on the messages from the tracing management module. After receiving messages from the tracing management module, the service processing module verifies that the parameters in the local filter table are updated. Then, it reports the messages meeting filter criteria to the LMT based on the task IDs contained in the messages. The LMT analyzes the messages and displays tracing results in the window.

IEEE1588 V2 is a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems, which is also called PTPv2. IEEE1588 V2 is mainly used for time synchronization among nodes of the distributed systems. It specifies a mechanism for all nodes to achieve time synchronization using the same reference clock. The eNodeB can use the IEEE1588 V2 clock as the reference clock to achieve time synchronization. IEEE1588 V2 transmits timestamps based on interactions between IEEE1588 messages so that the eNodeB achieves time synchronization. If the IEEE1588 V2 clock does not function properly, the tracing for IEEE1588 V2 messages is started to view the information.

7 Monitoring eNodeB Performance in Real Time

7.1 Overview of Real-time Performance Monitoring


This section describes the functions and internal process of real-time performance monitoring.

Functions of Real-time Performance Monitoring


The eNodeB performs the following functions of real-time performance monitoring: l l l Sector performance monitoring RRU performance monitoring Spectrum detection

A monitoring task is a monitoring instance, which consists of monitoring items, monitoring objects, and monitoring parameters. Real-time performance monitoring functions enable monitoring results to be displayed in a list and a chart. In this case, you can monitor the running status of system services and equipment. You can analyze detected exceptions from the monitoring results for equipment maintenance and fault identification.

Internal Process of Real-time Performance Monitoring


The internal process of real-time performance monitoring involves creating a monitoring task on the LMT and reporting monitoring results to the LMT. l Creating a monitoring task on the LMT 1. 2. 3. After you create a monitoring task on the LMT, the LMT sends a binary command to the eNodeB to create the task. The eNodeB allocates an ID to the task and forwards the command to the monitoring management module of a specified board. After receiving the command, the monitoring management module informs the service processing module of the command. Then, the service processing module starts performance monitoring. After starting performance monitoring, the service processing module reports monitoring results to the LMT. The LMT analyzes the monitoring results and displays them in the window.
