4.4 Managing Office
I. Introduction
Managing office refers to setting IP address of the M2000 server or NodeB that the
LMT connects.
Generally, one office uses one name to identify different IP addresses. A NodeB O&M
system may have different office information to connect to a specified M2000 server
or NodeB.

I. Introduction
The NodeB O&M system provides lock function to ensure its safe operation. You can
set system lock when you do not use the system so as to prevent illegal operation
from others. Once the system is locked, you need to enter the correct password
before further operation.
The NodeB O&M system has two lock modes:
z Lock by schedule
z Lock Now
Note:
The lock function locks the interface of the NodeB O&M system only. It is similar to the
screen saver of the MS Windows operating system.

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

7.3.4 Modifying NodeB Time
I. Introduction
Caution:
The NodeB time is very important for alarm logs, operation logs and services records.
Modify the NodeB time with caution.
You can maintain NodeBs of different versions through the same LMT. But at the same
time, you can maintain only one NodeB on that LMT. The NodeB and the LMT must be
synchronized to avoid time inconsistency in alarm logs and operation logs.
II. Prerequisite
None.
III. Procedure
If the time difference between LMT and NodeB is greater than five minutes, the system
displays a Time Synchronization Check dialog box, listing the LMT time and NodeB
time and prompting whether to synchronize the LMT time with the NodeB time.
z If the NodeB time is precise, click Modify to synchronize the LMT time with the
NodeB time.
z If the NodeB time is not precise, click Cancel and log into the NodeB to modify the
NodeB time by the MML command of MOD TM.
Note:
z You may query the NodeB time by the MML command of DSP TM before the
modification to decide whether to modify the time.
z You may query the NodeB time by the MML command of DSP TM after the
modification to check whether the modification is valid.
z If the SNTP function is enabled, the NodeB time shall be synchronized with the
SNTP server time periodically. Even if NodeB time is modified, it will still be
synchronized in next synchronization. If the SNTP function is not enabled, the
modified NodeB time will remain valid.
z Relevant MML commands: SET SNTPCLTPARA (to set SNTP client parameters)
and LST SNTPCLTPARA (to list SNTP client parameters).

8.2 Overview
8.2.1 Principle of Tracing NodeB Iub Interface Signaling
The tracing management is used to conduct routine equipment maintenance. 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.

8.2.2 Introduction to NodeB Iub Interface Tracing
The NodeB message tracing refers to the NodeB Iub interface tracing.
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.
