4- Radio link prompt alarm

Description - This alarm is reported when the BTS detects continuous RL abnormalities. The power level imbalance between
uplink and downlink. It indicates that the uplink power level and the downlink power level deviate from each other greatly.

Reason

Hardware:
-

The connection of the RX cable is loosened, broken, wrong configuration or damaged. Card DRFU was damaged.

Software: (Click here for detail) - Wrong Configure between BSC and BTS - Wrong Receive Mode and Sent Mode (If Config 2TRX must be configure Dividing

Receiver and No combine) - Wrong Downlink tributary on configure of DDPU (Uplink/Downlink/Tributary) Solution

Check connection of the RF cable is connected. Check configuration of RX cable is corrected. Replace RX cable or card if faulty. Replace card DTRU/DDPU if male connector broken. Note: - Radio link prompt alarm have three Sublink No: 0:Abnormal channel activation alarm (Traffic normal) 1:Abnormal channel release alarm (Traffic normal) 2:No traffic alarm (Traffic warning have to reset site) 3:Power level imbalance between uplink and downlink alarm (Wrong RX configuration)

5- TRX Communication alarm

Description - This alarm is reported when the TRX detects that the transmitting/receiving phase-locked loop or the test phase-locked loop in the TRX cannot output the required frequency. Reason - The connection of the Jumper cable is loosened or broken. - CPRI optic cable is loosened or broken. - Insert CPRI optic cable incorrect to the port of DRFU and GTMU port. - DRFU is faulty. - TX cable loose connection between DDPU to DTRU or broken. - Card DTRU or DDPU faulty. Solution - Reset site - Check CPRI cable if installed - Check card DRFU is faulty - Check Jumper if installed - Replace card DRFU or CPRI cable if faulty - Replace DDPU, DTRU if broken. - Check TX cable if loose connection between DDPU and DTRU. - Replace TX cable - Reset site

6- TRX Config Mismatch alarm

Description

The alarm is reported when any of the following conditions occurs: (1) The frequency of the TRX is not consistent with the type of the TRX. (2) The static power of the TRX is lowered by the main control module to protect
Reason Hardware: - Wrong GSM card (Bandwidth) (GSM900/1800) of Card DRFU/GRFU (Insert wrong GSM card) - Insert wrong CPRI cable wrong slot on card GTMU. - Patch E1 wrong site (Mean: E1 of Main site patch for Cosite and E1 of Cosite patch for Main site) Software: - Wrong Sent Receive Mode of Antenna - The type of the board in the slot is different from the configured board type on the BSC side - The RF front end power is small. - Frequency and TRX type mismatch. Solution
- Check Frequency on BTS and BSC are the same - Check Sent Receive Mode on BSC and BTS are the same. - Check card DRFU/GRFU was install correctly . - Reset site

6- TRX Config Mismatch alarm (Cont)

Solution
Software: View alarm: - Click on site name and than click on card of cell by right click on card DRFU/GRFU => View Site Board => Configure Site Board Attributes => View on Sent Receive Mode => Single Feeder (1TX + 2RX) - Not: If you see this mode you must be change it to Double Feeder (2TX + 2RX) if site configured 2TRX. Solution: (Click here for detail) - Right click on site at left panel => Configure Site Board Attribute => Configure Site Board Attribute => Configure Site Board Attribute = Sent Receive Mode (Double Feeder (2TX + 2RX)) => OK => OK => Finish. And than Reset site.

7- TRX VSWR alarm

Description
- This alarm is generated when the cables concerning the power output

port of the TRX (TX1, TX2, TCOM) are not properly connected. - This alarm is generated when the antenna jumper is not connected to the antenna port of the Carrier Module.
Reason

- The cable between the power output port of the TRX and the power input port of the RF front-end unit (DDPU) is damaged. - The connection of the Jumper cable is loosened or broken. - The CPRI cable is not connected between DRFU to GTMU - Feeder faulty. Solution
