1 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
This section explains the Digivance system fault detection and alarm reporting system, provides
a method for isolating and troubleshooting faults, and provides test and maintenance
procedures. The Digivance system requires minimal regular maintenance to insure continuous
and satisfactory operation. Components that require regular replacement, cleaning, or testing
include the HU and RU fans and the RU outdoor cabinet air-filter.
Maintenance also includes diagnosing and correcting service problems as they occur. When an
alarm is reported, it will be necessary to follow a systematic troubleshooting procedure to locate
the problem. Once the source of the problem is isolated, the appropriate corrective action can be
taken to restore service. The only internal components that can be replaced are the cooling fans
which mount in the HU, RU, and LPA. The failure of any other component within a unit will
require replacement of that unit.
1.1 Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
•ESD wrist strap
• IR filtering safety glasses
• Patch cords with SC connectors
• 15 dB in-line SC optical attenuators
ADCP-75-158 • Issue 1 • July 2003 • Section 5: Maintenance

• Optical power meter (1550 and 1310 nm)
• TORX screwdriver (with T10 bit)
2 FAULT DETECTION AND ALARM REPORTING
The Digivance system on-board embedded software detects various unit and system faults and
reports them as either Major or Minor alarms. A Major alarm indicates that the system has
failed in a way that directly affects RF transport performance. This usually means that some
calls or perhaps all calls cannot be made over the system. A Minor alarm means that system
performance is not affected or in some cases, that the performance may no longer be optimal.
Four types of faults cause a minor alarm to be reported: overtemperature, fan failure, diversity
path failure, and an external minor fault (user defined fault). All other faults are reported as a
Major alarm.
Reporting of Major and Minor alarms is accomplished through the HU alarm contacts, the unit
front panel LED’s, the EMS software Graphical User Interface (GUI), and the Network
Operations Center - Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface.
The HU is equipped with a set of both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) alarm
contacts which are used to report both Major and Minor alarms to an external alarm system. The
alarm contacts summarize the inputs so that any Major or Minor alarm will trigger an alarm
report to the external alarm system.
The HU, STM, and LPA front panel LED indicators are used to report specific alarms which are
reflected in the LED colors: Green, Red, Yellow, and Off. A description of the Host Unit, Linear
Power Amplifier, and Spectrum Transport Module LED indicators is provided respectively in
Table 5-1, Table 5-2, and Table 5-3.
The EMS software GUI provides both a summary and a more detailed list of alarm information
that includes unit and module level faults, circuit faults, and measured value faults such as
voltages, RF power, and temperature. A summary showing a list of all systems and their current
alarm status is presented through the Alarm OverView display. A detailed list of alarm
information is presented through the HOST alarm display and the REMOTE alarm display. All
the inputs that the system reports as alarms are shown in the HOST and REMOTE alarm
displays.
The NOC/NEM interface provides the same summary and detailed list of alarm information as
the EMS software GUI but in an ASCII text string format. Sending the command GET ALARM
SUMMARY produces a list of all systems and their current alarm status. Sending the command
GET ALARM ALL for a specific system will produce a detailed list of alarm information for
the specified system.

3 FAULT ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Alarm information may be accessed and faults isolated using the information provided by the
unit front panel LED indicators, the EMS software GUI alarm displays, or the NOC-EMS
interface. Because the alarm information provided by the EMS GUI and the NOC-EMS
interface is very detailed, refer to Table 5-4, Table 5-5, or Table 5-6 to determine the unit LED
indicator (Host Unit, Remote Unit, or LPA) that corresponds to the indicated alarm. Then refer
to Table 5-7, Table 5-8, or Table 5-9 to identify the problem, check out the possible causes, and
take corrective action.

3.1 Host Unit Troubleshooting
During normal HU operation, all LED’s should be green except the STANDBY LED which
should be Off. When a Minor alarm occurs, one or more of the LED’s will turn yellow. When a
Major alarm occurs, one or more of the LED’s will turn red.
It is recommended that whenever there are multiple alarms, the optical alarms should be
checked and cleared first. Because the host and remote units function as a system, a fault in the
fiber optic link will cause various unit alarms to be reported.

4 TEST PROCEDURES
This section provides procedures for common troubleshooting and maintenance tests. Refer to
these procedures as needed when specified in the Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting tables in
Section 3.
4.1 Optical Power Test
A break in an optical fiber or a fault with the optical connector will interrupt communications
between linked components or generate excessive errors. Use the following procedure to isolate
a problem with an optical fiber or connector.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. At the HU and at the STM, place the On/Off switches in the OFF position (press O).
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors for the fiber to be tested at the HU and the STM.
5. Inspect the optical connectors. Verify that connectors are clean and that no scratches or
imperfections are visible on the fiber end. Clean and polish the optical connectors if necessary.
6. Connect the optical power meter to the output (receiver) end of the optical fiber. If an
attenuator was included in the fiber link, make sure the attenuator is installed.
7. Connect the input (transmitter) end of the optical fiber to the far end HU or STM.
8. At the far end HU or STM, place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I).
9. Using the far end HU or STM as an optical light source, measure the optical power at the
near end of the optical fiber. The power level of the optical input signal at the HU or STM
must fall within the following ranges:
STM Forward Path Input Signal (Port 1): –15 to –25 dBm (with attenuator installed)
HU Reverse Path Input Signal (Port 2): –15 to –23 dBm (with attenuator installed)
If the power level of the received optical signal is within the specified range, the optical
fiber and the far end unit are good. If the power level of the received signal is not with
the specified range, either the optical fiber is faulty or the far end unit optical transmitter
is faulty. Continue with test procedure to isolate the problem
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transmitter of any unit or exposure to laser radiation may result.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST
be immediately placed over any radiating transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the
potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles
from entering the connector.
Note: Turning off the HU and STM disables the respective lasers which is necessary in
order to safely inspect and clean the optical connectors.

5 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section specifies the system maintenance requirements and provides the procedures for the
required maintenance tasks. Refer to these procedures as needed when specified in the
Scheduled Maintenance table.
5.1 Scheduled Maintenance
Table 5-10 lists the items that require regular maintenance and the recommended maintenance
interval. Refer to the section specified in the table for the required maintenance or test
procedure.
5.2 Remote Unit Outdoor Cabinet Filter Cleaning Procedure
The RU outdoor cabinet filter cleans the RU intake air before it enters the cabinet. The filter
should be cleaned approximately once per year and more often in extremely dirty environments.
If the cabinet temperature gradually rises over a long period of time and there are no fan
failures, it is possible that the filter is dirty and requires cleaning. Use the following procedure
to clean the outdoor cabinet filter:
1. Open the RU outdoor cabinet door.
2. Loosen the two set screws that secure the filter to the bottom of the outdoor cabinet as
shown in Figure 5-1.
3. Pull the filter out and away from the bottom of the cabinet. Be careful not to damage the
foam strip that provides the air seal.
4. Gently tap the filter against your hand to dislodge any dirt or dust. If necessary, use
compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt.
5. Carefully inspect the filter for holes or tears and replace it if damaged.
6. Orient the filter so the foam sealing strip is facing downward and then re-install the filter
in the filter mounting slot (see Figure 5-1) at the bottom of the cabinet.
7. Re-tighten the two set screws to secure the filter to cabinet
8. Close the RU outdoor cabinet door.
