Introduction Executing batch MML commands refers to compiling a series of commands into a batch file and then run the file to perform a function or an operation. There are two modes to execute batch MML commands: z Execute batch MML commands by schedule z Execute batch MML commands now II. Prerequisites z Batch MML command files have already been created. The batch file (also referred to as the data script file) is a plain text file (*.txt). It stores a group of commands that can perform a common function or a specific task in a *.txt file. Therefore, you can simply run the file instead of entering the commands one by one. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-14
NodeB LMT User Guide Chapter 4 Getting Started with LMT There are three ways to create batch MML command files: z Create a *.txt file and write the commands into the file. Be sure to write one command in a line. z Copy the information in History Command drop-down box in the output pane and save it in a blank *.txt file. z Choose System -> Save Command -> Start Save Input Command… to save the used commands. III. Procedure Follow the steps below to execute the batch MML command by schedule: 1) Choose System -> Execute Batch Commands, or press Ctrl+R.

NodeB LMT User Guide Chapter 5 Alarm Management Chapter 5 Alarm Management 5.1 About This Chapter This chapter describes how to manage the alarms on the NodeB though the LMT. 5.2 Overview 5.2.1 Alarm Types I. Fault Alarm and Event Alarm Alarms can be classified into fault alarms and event alarms by nature. z Fault alarm: refers to the alarm generated in case of hardware equipment fault or major function failure. When the fault is removed, the system reports a cleared alarm. One cleared alarm corresponds to one fault alarm. The severity of a fault alarm is higher than that of an event alarm in most cases. z Event alarm: refers to the accidental alarm indicating that the system is in alarm state for a while. There is no cleared alarm for the event alarm. Some event alarms are generated periodically. II. Active Alarm and Recovery Alarm When there are alarms, the alarms can be classified into active alarms and recovery alarms according to the alarm state. z If an alarm has recovered, the alarm is in a “recovery” state and is called “recovery alarm”. z If an alarm has not recovered, the alarm is in an “active” state and is call “active alarm”. For example, when a fault occurs in the interior hardware of a tower mounted amplifier (TMA), the system will report a TMA fault alarm. z Before the fault in the interior hardware of the TMA is cleared, the alarm is an active alarm. z After the fault in the interior hardware of the TMA is cleared, the alarm is a recovery alarm. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 5-1
NodeB LMT User Guide Chapter 5 Alarm Management  Note: A recovery alarm indicates the alarm has recovered. The alarm records are still stored in the alarm log and can be queried. See 5.4.4 “Querying Alarm Log”. 5.2.2 Alarm Log The alarm log keeps all the alarm records. You can obtain NodeB alarm information or collect alarm statistics by querying the alarm log. 5.2.3 Alarm Severity The alarm severity shows the level of urgency and severity of an alarm. The alarm severities of fault alarms and event alarms in descending order are as follows: z Critical alarm z Major alarm z Minor alarm z Warning Table 5-1 describes definitions and handling of alarms at different severities. Table 5-1 Definitions and handling of alarms at different severities Alarm severity Definition Handling Critical alarm The critical alarm has an impact on the service provided by the system and needs timely handling even when it occurs in after-work time. For example, a device or resource is not available. It requires timely handling. Otherwise, the system may collapse. Major alarm The major alarm affects the quality of service (QoS) and needs resolving within work time to avoid impact on some major functions. For example, the QoS of a device or resource is impaired and needs recovery. It requires timely handling. Otherwise, some major functions may be affected. Minor alarm The minor alarm does not affect QoS. It needs handling at a proper time against potential faults. The purpose of this alarm is to remind maintenance technicians of alarm reasons and eliminate potential faults. Warning The warning shows a potential error that may affect service and needs handling in some cases. It requires understanding of the system running state. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 5-2
NodeB LMT User Guide Chapter 5 Alarm Management 5.2.4 Alarms Classified by Network Management Alarms can also be classified by network management as follows: z Power system: Alarms of the power system (for example, DC 48 V) z Environment system: Alarms of equipment room environment (for example, temperature, humidity and door control) z Signaling system: Alarms of channel associated signaling and SS7 z Trunk system: Alarms of trunk circuit and trunk board z Hardware system: Alarms of board parts (for example clock and CPU) z Software system: Alarms of software z Running system: Alarms of system running z Communication system: Alarms of communication system z QoS: Alarms of QoS z Processing error: Other alarms 5.3 Configuring Alarm System Attributes 5.3.1 Overview Configurations of alarm system attributes consist of: z Configuring Attributes of Alarm Query Window z Setting Fault Alarm Blinking Prompt z Setting Sound Duration for Fault Alarm z Setting Dial Notify for Fault Alarms z Setting SMS Notify for Fault Alarms z Sorting Alarms 5.3.2 Configuring Attributes of Alarm Query Window I. Introduction Configuring attributes of the alarm query window consists of: z Alarm colors z Column width z Showing/Hiding tip z Clearing current alarm records z Dynamic addition z Querying active alarm when login successfully z Refreshing the window Huawei Technologies Proprietary 5-3

The tracing to Iub interfaces and signaling links helps you verify the data and locate the faults. For example, after the equipment data configuration, you can check the signaling links by establishing tracing tasks. If the signaling links are abnormal, you can make preliminary fault location. Table 8-1 shows the procedure of Iub interface signaling tracing. Table 8-1 Procedure of Iub interface signaling tracing Step Action Description Reference 1 Create a tracing task To start the Iub interface tracing See 8.3 "Creating NodeB Iub Interface Tracing Task" 2 Browse traced messages onlineTo display reported traced messages by opening a message browse window after creating a tracing task See 8.4.1 "Browsing NodeB Traced Message" 3 Save traced messages To save important traced messages as required See 8.4.3 "Saving NodeB Traced Messages " and 8.4.4 "Saving NodeB Traced Messages " 4 Stop tracing task To stop the tracing task -- Huawei Technologies Proprietary 8-1

The Iub interface is a standard open interface between the NodeB and the RNC in the WCDMA system. The Iub interface is used to transmit messages of the user plane, signaling plane and specific O&M. There are two tracing directions: z OUT: from NodeB to RNC (for a macro NodeB, from NMPT to Iub interface boards) z IN: from RNC to NodeB (for a macro NodeB, from Iub interface boards to NMPT) 8.3 Creating NodeB Iub Interface Tracing Task I. Task Introduction Creating an Iub interface tracing task refers to starting the Iub interface tracing. This can trace all the Iub interface messages. After creating a tracing task, the system automatically sends two messages respectively to the master CPU and slave CPU of each available Iub interface board. The aim is to trace messages that the system sends and receives. The maximum message number that the system can send is 4 (number of boards) x 2 (the active and slave CPUs on the board) x 2 (two directions: send and receive) = 16.  Note: z Only one Iub interface tracing task can be created in the NodeB O&M system each time, and one message display window can be created for this tracing task. z The prompt for busy system and failure in starting a standard interface tracing task may lie in the overloaded CPU. It is recommended to start the tracing task 30 seconds later when the CPU overloading is cleared. II. Prerequisite None. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 8-2
