Introduction
This publication contains the alarm descriptions and refers to corrective maintenance procedures
applicable to the Node B. See the list of Node B hardware maintenance guides in the Related
documents section.
This document does not list alarms generated by LMT, for description of these alarms, see
Alcatel-Lucent Micro Node B and 9314 Pico Node B Local Maintenance Tool Manual
(NN-20500-057).
The general principles and messages required for Node B maintenance are described in 9353
Management System - User Guide (NN-20500-032).
Network maintenance is based on graphical supervision of the network. It is also based on the
identification and replacement of faulty items of equipment, using the alarms.

Severity
The Node B uses the following perceived severity:
• CRITICAL: indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective
action is required.
• MAJOR: indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an urgent corrective
action is required.
• minor: indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that corrective action
will have to be taken in order to prevent a more serious fault.
• warning: indicates the detection of a potential or impending service-affecting fault, before any
significant effects have been felt.

Object Class MicroBTS/ALCAP
Equipment Type ALCAP
Event Type communicationsAlarm
Probable Cause remoteNodeTransmissionError
Severity
• MAJOR
Impact Possible capacity or performance degradation.
Reason A neighboring node has signaled to the BTS an upstream connectivity
failure.
Remedial Action Check the transmission links. Check the configuration of the BTS
1120/BTS 1010, RNC, and transmission network with respect to the af-
fected PVC. When the fault is repaired the alarm will be ceased auto-
matically by BTS 1120/BTS 1010.

Alarm Code MicroBTS_1029_00130
Object Class MicroBTS/SectorEquipment/AntennaAccess
Equipment Type AntennaAccess
Event Type equipmentAlarm
Probable Cause equipmentMalfunction
Severity
• MAJOR
• warning
Impact Possible capacity and/or performance degradation.
Reason Reflected power too high.
Remedial Action The BTS 1120 (Micro) will automatically cease of alarm if the VSWR
fault indication disappears. The operators can restart the BTS 1120
(Micro) to check if the alarm persists. If the alarm persists the antenna
may be defect, or there may be a loose (RF) connection between an-
tenna and the sector equipment unit. The antenna cables should also
be inspected for possible damages or problems.

INACCURATE RF REFERENCE
Alarm Code MicroBTS_1006_00000
Object Class MicroBTS
Equipment Type MicroBTS
Event Type processingErrorAlarm
Probable Cause timingProblem
Severity
• MAJOR
Impact All traffic services are shut down.
Reason The RF Reference is outside 3GPP requirements.
Remedial Action Inspect the status of the physical links. The physical link status view
can be read using the Local Management Tool. The fault ceases auto-
matically when the BTS 1120/BTS 1010 is able to obtain synchroniza-
tion from one of its physical links. The fault ceases automatically when
the required RF stability is reached. For example, after the timing refer-
ence has recovered, that is, when the RF reference is within 3GPP
specification. Note that it can take some time for the PLL to stabilize. If
the alarm persists even though synchronization can be obtained via
the physical links, the reason can be an hardware fault in BTS
1120/BTS 1010 and the unit needs to be replaced. Always attempt a
restart first though.

Remedial Action The alarm ceases when the LMT Ethernet contact is disconnected. If
the alarm is activated but no management via the LMT is expected,
somebody can be attempting an unauthorized access to the BTS
1120/BTS 1010.
