The solutions in the document are the operation method for particular alarm. Actually, sometimes the different alarms will rise in a site or sector. One alarm may be caused by another. Hence, we need to distinguish the priority of these alarms when handle them. The structure of the document follows the priority (like the contents).

1 RF Unit ALD Current Out of Range

Alarm Reason: The ALD current alarm thresholds is setting properly; Installation or connection problem. Solution: When the alarm is rising without any operation, the firs the first thing is to check the configuration of current alarm threshold. If the threshold is right, that means there is some mistake existing in physical line. Hence, the installation and connection should be checked on site and check is there any arrester or attenuator used in the ALD line. Operation: M2000(LMT) DSP ANTCON SET ALDPWRSW turn off SET ALDPWRSW turn on with the properly thresholdDSP ANTCON SCN ALD ADD ALD LST ALDDSP ALDVER-check alarm On-site Check the installation and connection of ALD line. Detail information can be found in the document <The solutions for Alarm of ALD Current Out of Range>.

2 ALD Maintenance Link Failure

Alarm Reason: 1There is no device installed in the ALD line; 2Incorrect configuration;

3Connection problem of the AISG cable(the blue line in the figure below), when the connection between RCU and TMA is wrong, the current will lower about 60mA than other sector, and the RCU can not be scanned.A example is shown in the attachment Example

4 The confused connection of feeders or jumpers. As the figure below, the jumper of sector3 has be connected to the TMA of sector1. So, even there is no the alarm of RF Unit ALD Current Out of Range, the problem is caused by wrong installation. To judge this situation, we can turn off the dc supply in the alarm port ,then if the

current of another port in other sectors increase, that means the two ports in different sectors are connected to one TMA. (See attachment Example2)

Solution: 1Conform the ALD network and installation status, avoid to add the device which do not exist; 2Configure the device in right way; 3Check the AISG connection between RCU and TMA. 4Check the tag of jumpers, clear up all the jumpers and their mark. Confirm the each jumpers is installed in the right ports (may need to check the jumpers actual connection with hand from end to end.) Operation: 1 Conform the ALD network and installation status

2 Configure the device following the < NodeB-R12-ALD System Configuration Guide > and < NodeB-R13-ALD System Configuration Guide >. Remark Sometimes the situation Execution timed out is also caused by Incorrect configuration, so, re-configure following the guide will solve the problem. 3If the sectors current is lower about 60mA than other sectors, and the RCU can not be scanned. Re-connect the AISG cable between RCU and TMA. 4 Check the tag of jumpers, clear up all the jumpers and their mark. Confirm the each jumper is installed in the right ports (may need to check the jumpers actual connection with hand from end to end).If still not work, remake all tags of jumpers.

3 RET Antenna Not CalibratedRET Antenna Motor Fault

Alarm Reason: The wrong configuration data file; Connection or Installation problem Solution: Re-load the configuration data file to match the antenna model and then calibrate; if not work, check the installation of RCU. Operation: 1 2 Confirm the antenna model and frequency band; M2000(LMT) DSP ALDVER DLD ALDCFG Re-load the configuration data file CLB ANTSET ANTTITLDSP ANTTITL check alarm 3 On-site aCheck if the installation of RCU is loose or distorted. bRemove the RCU and install again, then calibrate; c Swap the RCUs in faulty sector and normal sector, calibrate the both sectors.

4 RET Antenna Running Data and Configuration Mismatch

Alarm Reason: RCU configured tilt is different with the current tilt.
%%DSP ANTTILT: OPMODE=NAME;%% RETCODE = 0 Antenna Tilt -----------evice Name Site No. Sector No. Cabinet No. Subrack No. Antenna Connector No. Device Type Configured Tilt(0.1 degree) Current Tilt(0.1 degree) = = = = = = = = = HJZ843-N2A 0 1 0 4 N2A SINGLE_RET 40 20 Succeed.

Solution: Operate the command to calibrate RET and then set the tilt as the configured tilt. Operation: DSP ANTTILT DSP ANTCONCLB ANTSET ANTTITLCheck alarm
