Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
Chapter 2 General Fault Processing
2.1 MS Access Network Failure
When the MS is powered on, it will go through the following
processes: system determination substate, pilot channel acquisition
substate, sync channel acquisition substate, timing change substate
and finally enter the mobile station idle state and receive the correct
system message within the specific time. Only after going through all
these processes, can the MS access the network and work properly.
2.1.1 Fault Description
The MS is unable to access the CDMA network after powered
on.
2.1.2 Troubleshooting
First make sure the MS parameters (such as basic frequency,
assistant frequency, and SID, NID etc.) have been correctly set, and
then go through the following processes one by one to locate and
eliminate problems.
I. Check if the BTS is running properly
As BTS is not running, the MS will not be able to connect to the
network. The reasons that BTS is not running could be:
2-1
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
1) The BTS equipment is in a faulty condition, which will result in
the BTS start-up failure.
2) The BTS is not configured with correct parameters, which will
also result in the BTS start-up failure.
Please refer to “2.3 Base Station Initialization Failure” for fault
elimination measures.
II. Check if there is anything wrong with the Abis signaling
link
Abis signaling link failure will also result in the MS network
connection failure.
1) After the BTS start -up, if the Abis signaling link goes wrong,
BSC will be unable to perform logic configuration on BTS, which will
result in the MS network connection failure.
2) If the BTS has obtained the correct logic configuration, when
the Abis signaling link goes wrong, the BTS will turn off the
transmitting signal of the BTRM to which all its sector carrier
frequencies correspond. This will result in the MS network
connection failure.
Through querying the current alarms of the BTS on the OMC
console or BTS local maintenance console, find out if there is an
“Abis signaling link failure” alarm.
Please refer to “2.5
Abis Signaling Link Failure” for fault
elimination measures.
2-2
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
III. Check if the cell has obtained the BSC logical
configuration
1) If the cell has not obtained the logic configuration, i.e.
common channels for pilot frequency, synchronization, paging
common channels, etc. has not been established or an overhead
message update has not been performed, the MS will of course not
be able to connect to the network.
Check the configuration progress report for this cell in the “BTS
status” window on the OMC console: if there is no such progress
reports
as
“Common
channel
established
successfully”
and
“Overhead message updated successfully”, that means the logic
configuration for this cell has not completed.
2) Sometimes the unavailability of certain physical equipment,
or some operation mistakes (such as deleting a device by mistake)
will result in the cell being deleted and the MS being unable to
connect to the network.
Check the configuration progress report for this cell in the “BTS
status” window on the OMC console: if there is a progress report
saying “Cell deleted”, that means the cell has been deleted.
If the cell has not obtained the logic configuration, we need to
verify the following items by checking the relevant indicators, board
status and alarm messages, etc.:
Whether the BTRM used in this cell is working properly;
Whether the BCPM used in this cell is working properly;
Whether the corresponding BRDM is working properly;
2-3
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
Whether the optical fiber of the BTRM and BRDM is
connected properly;
Whether the BCIM is working properly;
Whether the Abis signaling link is working properly;
Whether the BSC is working properly;
Whether the parameters in the BTS and BSC are in correct
corresponding relations.
If there is a problem detected in a certain step, refer to the
relevant chapter for proper handling measures, for example, if there
is problem with the BTRM, go to “3.7
BTS Transceiver Module
(BTRM )” for proper measures.
IV. Cell is blocked
If we can see from the OMC console that the logic configuration
for the cell has been completed, but the MS still can not connect to
the network, we can then check whether this cell has been blocked.
When a cell is blocked, the BTS will turn off the transmitting
signal of the BTRM, to which the carrier of this cell corresponds,
which will result in the MS network connection failure.
We can use command “DSP BTSBRDSTAT” to query the BTRM
status on the OMC console and find out if the BTRM to which this
cell corresponds is blocked.
If the cell is blocked, the mobile station will not be able to
connect to the network until the user unblock the cell.
2-4
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
V. Check receiving channel
If we can see from the OMC console the logic configuration for
the cell has been completed, but the MS still can not connect to the
network, we can then check whether the receiving channel is
working properly.
If the BTS receiving channel is not working properly, it will result
in heavy bit errors. As a result, the MS will lose network connection
frequently. When the MS switches on, it will send a switch-on
registration message to the BTS. Due to the receiving channel failure,
the BTS is unable to receive the registration message and thus will
not send the response back to the MS, this will result in the MS
registration failure. When the registration fails, the MS will enter the
system confirmation substate and start recapturing the network,
when the network is captured, the MS will again activate the
switch-on registration… this will go on and the MS is still unable to
connect to the network.
We can use the CDMA test MS to trace the air interface
message: if the MS has sent the registration message and does not
receive the BTS response, the BTS inverse receiving channel must
be faulty.
If there is a problem with the receiving channel, we can go
through the following steps as well as checking the relevant
indicators, board status and alarm messages, etc. to locate it:
Whether the CDU (or DFU, or DDU), RLDU and BTRM are
secured in place, or whether the panel screws are all
tightened;
Whether the antenna and feeder is connected properly;
2-5
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
Whether the RLDU is power on and works properly;
Whether the RLDU panel configuration selection switch
“S/W” is in the correct position. Refer to “Table 6-2
Description of RLDU switches” for details about it;
Whether the BTRM is working properly;
Whether the BCPM is working properly;
Whether
the
BTS
physical
configuration
is
correct,
including the parameters of the cell and inverse searching
parameters, etc.
If there is a problem detected in a certain step, refer to the
relevant chapter for proper handling measures, for example, if there
is problem with the BTRM, go to “3.7
BTS Transceiver Module
(BTRM )” for proper handling measures.
VI. Check transmitting channel
The BTRM, BHPA, CDU (or DFU, or DDU) and the antenna and
feeder constitute the transmitting channel. The malfunctioning of
transmitting channel will result in no BTS signal output or abnormal
BTS signal output. In such case, we can still find on the OMC
console that the logic configuration for the cell has been completed,
but the MS will not be able to connect to the network. We can then
go through the following steps as well as checking the relevant
indicators, board status and alarm messages, etc. to locate the
problem:
Whether the CDU (or DFU, or DDU), BHPA and BTRM are
secured in place, or whether the panel screws are all
tightened;
2-6
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
Whether the transmission driving component of the BTRM
is working properly;
Whether the CDU (or DFU, DDU) is working properly.
Whether the connection between the BTRM and BHPA is
secure;
Whether the BHPA is working properly;
Whether the connection between the BHPA and CDU (or
DFU, DDU) is secure;
Whether the feeder connection from the CDU (or DFU,
DDU) to the top of the cabinet is secure;
Whether the feeder connection from the top of the cabinet
to the antenna is secure;
Whether the blind mate in each module of the transmitting
channel are secured in place.
Whether the antenna is installed correctly;
Whether there is a standing wave ratio alarm;
If there is a problem detected in a certain step, refer to the
relevant chapter for proper handling measures, for example, if there
is a problem with the BTRM, go to “3.7
BTS Transceiver Module
(BTRM )” for proper handling measures.
VII. Check cell gain & common channel gain configuration
If we can see from the OMC console the logic configuration for
the cell has been completed, but the MS still can not connect to the
network, we can then check whether the gain parameters setting is
correct when we configured the cell.
When configuring the cell, we need to configure the sector gain,
carrier gain, pilot frequency signal gain, synchronization channel gain
2-7
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
and paging channel gain, etc. If these parameters are not properly
set (for example: they are set too low), the MS will not be able to
capture the common channel and thus will not be able to connect to
the network.
With the help of Abis-interface message tracing tool, find out
whether the gain parameters carried in the Abis-Cell Setup message
are correct, if not, reconfigure the BSC data configuration table.
VIII. Check overhead message
If we can see from the OMC console the logic configuration for
the cell has been completed, but the MS still can not connect to the
network, we can then check whether the overhead message is
correct.
When the MS enters the idling status, it needs to receive all the
overhead message set up by the system, which include at least the
following five:
The synchronization message, access parameter message,
system parameter message, CDMA channel list message, Neighbor
List Message. Other overhead message may vary with the network
parameter settings.
If any one of the above system messages is not received, the
MS will not be able to connect to the network.
Additionally, the value setting in each of the parameters in the
message will directly affect the MS network connection, therefore
please be careful.

With the help of the air interface signaling analyzer, it can be
determined whether the MS has received all the system messages.
Also, check whether the value setting in each of the parameters in
the message is correct. If not, modify the BSC parameter
configuration table and perform the overhead message update
again.
2.2 Software Download Failure
2.2.1 Fault Description
Software download problems includes software download failure,
maintenance console prompting failure or there being no correct
prompt messages generated.
2.2.2 Troubleshooting
Software download failure may be caused by the following two
factors: FTP client login failure and file loading abnormally
terminated by the board.
I. FTP client login failure
1) First check if the BOOTP process of the OMU is running
properly:
The OMU requests the BTS IP address via BOOTP. If this
process fails, the BTS IP address will not be obtained, and of course
it will not be able to log in to the FTP server of BAM. Generally the
BOOTP failure may be caused by a blocked link, incorrect routing or
2-9

Processing
configuration errors, etc. We need to locate and eliminate these
problems one by one. Refer to “2.4 OML Failure” for details.
2) The FTP server in the BAM is not configured correctly.
The most critical cause to such problem is the FTP server
configuration errors. The FTP server configuration includes the
following four items: username, user password, user access path
and access authority. Incorrect configuration of any of these four
items may lead to user login failure and software loading failure.
The setting of the above four items are shown below:
Username:
Password:
Access path:
Access authority:
OMU
OMU
It must include the paths specified in the software uploading and
downloading commands.
The paths for software uploading must be set as both readable and
writable.
II. File loading terminated abnormally by the board
All the files should carry the correct file header in the specific
format as required. The file ID and file version in the header should
match that in the activation commands released by the OMC,
otherwise the board may consider the software to be downloaded is
not what is expected and thus prompt exceptional errors.

2.3 Base Station Initialization Failure
2.3.1 Fault Description
When the base station is powered on, the system initialization
aborts, which leads to the BTS start-up failure.
If such problem occurs, the RUN indicators on some boards will
flash rapidly.
2.3.2 Troubleshooting
There are many causes to the BTS initialization failure, and they
can be summarized into the following aspects to help us locate them:
I. Link failure
The
precondition
of
successful
BTS
initialization
is
the
successful establishment of ATM link between the BCIM in the BTS
and the XIE board in the BSC, i.e. the BCIM in the BTS should be
able to intercept the link configuration of the XIE board in the BSC
and establish the corresponding IMA/UNI. If the data configuration in
the BSC is incorrect (or relevant physical link is not configured), the
BCIM will not be able to intercept the link configuration and thus lead
to the link establishment failure.
What’s
more,
the
BOOTP
process
failure
and
OML
establishment failure will also lead to the BTS initialization failure.
Please refer to “2.4
OML Failure” for details.
2-11
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
II. Clock failure
After the BTS successfully establishing the OML, the BSC will
release relevant configuration data. At this time some of the boards
in the BTS will require correct clock signals to start up properly. As a
result, for the initialization failure occurring after the BSC releases
the configuration, we need to check the following:
1)
Whether the BTS clock signal is correct.
2)
Whether the clock output of the BCKM is correct.
3)
Whether the connection between the BCKM and the GPS
antenna is secure.
4)
Whether the number of the locked satellites is more than 4.
For the above 1) and 2), please refer to “3.4
BTS Control &
Clock Module (BCKM)” for handling advice, for 3), please refer to
“3.12 Satellite Antenna and Feeder”. The 4) may be affected by the
geographic location, if the GPS satellites are found to be less than 4,
the BTS may not be able to receive reliable clock signals.
III. Incorrect BCPM data configuration
BCPM configuration errors will also lead to the BTS initialization
failure, thus we should carefully check each of the parameters, such
as the BCPM ID, cell parameters and chip parameters, etc.
Reconfigure those parameters if necessary.
IV. Incorrect BTRM data configuration
BTRM data configuration error may also lead to the BTS
initialization failure, thus we need to carefully check each of the
2-12
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
parameters, such as the BTRM ID, cell ID, cell resource pool ID and
optical interface ID, etc. Reconfigure those parameters if necessary.
V. Incorrect physical board connection
Possible cause to BTS initialization failure due to incorrect
physical board connection:
1) The boards are not installed properly and need to be
corrected;
2) The optical fiber connection fault between the BRDM and
BTRM, you may need to refer to “3.2
Handling of Common Board
Failure” for proper handling measures.
2.4 OML Failure
2.4.1 Fault Description
After the BTS is powered on, the BOOTP process fails, the
attempt to establish OML signaling link of the OMC fails or the OML
breaks while the BTS is running.
We can see the alarm “OML Failure” from the BTS maintenance
console.
2.4.2 Troubleshooting
The BTS OML connection starts from the BCKM and passes the
BCIM, the XIE board of BSC, the CMUX, the LPU board of the
switching subrack and the MPU board and ends at the BAM. Any
problem in any link of the route may lead to the OML failure.
2-13
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
I. Failure in communication link between BCKM and BCIM
Please refer to “Board Communication Link Failure” in the “3.2
Handling of Common Board Failure”.
II. Abnormal IMA group and UNI status
If E1 connection is used for the physical layer of the OML, we
can configure it to IMA or UNI mode according to the actual needs. If
IMA link set status or UNI status is not correct, the OML will fail.
Through querying the dedicated status of the board on the BTS
maintenance console, we can acquire the IMA link set status or UNI
status.
If there is anything abnormal in the IMA link set status or UNI
status, we will have to check them one by one:
Whether E1 link is correct. It can be checked with a
loopback test.
If IMA mode is used, we need to first find out whether the
multiple pairs of E1s match each other between the BTS
and BSC, i.e. the No.N pair of E1s in the IMA link set at the
BSC side matches the No.N pair of E1s in the IMA link set
in the BTS (N=1~8).
Whether the configuration of the M
I A link set of the BSC
and BTS are the same.
III. Incorrect VCI configuration in the CMUX of the CDMA
BSC Basic Management Subrack (CBMS)
The precondition of successful establishment OML of the BTS is
the successful BOOTP request. BOOTP request package requires
2-14
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
the MAC address field to be unique. If data duplication appears in
the VCI information of the CMUX, it will lead to the duplication of
MAC address field in the BOOTP request package, and thus result in
the BOOTP failure and the OML establishment failure.
Solution: check the BSC configuration and make sure the data
are correct and unique.
IV. Incorrect BSC routing information configuration
The OML of the BTS connects two IP gateways, i.e. the MPU in
the switch subrack and the CMUX in the BM subrack in the BSC,
and the uplink and downlink routing table information are different.
Error in information configuration of any of the gateways will result in
the OML establishment failure.
A typical example is that the BTS fails to establish the TCP
connection of the OML after BOOTP request is completed
successfully.
In such case, please first check the routing information of BAM
and see if it can connect to the MPU board of the switch subrack
properly; and then check the routing information of the CMUX and
see if it can connect downwards to the BTS and upwards to the BAM.
If there is an error in the routing information configuration, modify the
routing configuration of the switch subrack and the routing
information of the CMUX of BSC.
V. Incorrect OMC data configuration
The OMC plays a role of BOOTP Server and TCP Server during
the establishment of OML. During the BOOTP process, it will first
2-15
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 2 General Fault
Processing
require the OMC to configure the relevant local BOOTP information.
This set of BOOTP information should be unique and in conformity
with the data configuration in the BSC.
If the OMC has set up incorrect BOOTP information, the MAC
field in the BOOTP request package will not match the BOOTP
information, which will result in the BOOTP request failure and OML
establishment failure.
Solution: Query the BOOTP information of the BTS in the OMC,
and compare it with the data configuration in the BSC, change those
data that do not match.
VI. Remote OMC failure
The remote OMC plays a role of BOOTP Server and TCP
Server during the establishment of OML. Therefore, the remote OMC
failure will result in OML failure. The possible OMC failure includes:
1) BAM system collapse or BAM process not started. In such
case, BAM process or BAM system must be restarted.
2) The loading process of BAM appears abnormal -- you may
need to restart the BAM loading process.
3) BAM bottom-layer communication process (Exchange Server)
appears abnormal -- you may need to restart the BAM bottom-layer
communication process.

2.5 Abis Signaling Link Failure
2.5.1 Fault Description
After the BTS start-up, the Abis signaling link between the BTS
and BSC can not be established, or there are sometimes broken
links when the BTS is running.
From the BTS maintenance console, we can see the alarm
“Abis signaling link failure”.
2.5.2 Troubleshooting
I. Abnormal IMA group or UNI status
Please refer to “2.4
OML Failure” for details.
II. Incorrect Abis signaling link parameter configuration
If the IMA link set status and the UNI status are normal, and the
BTS has obtained the configuration data, check if the Abis signaling
link configuration is correct.
Abis signaling link uses the IPOA mode, which requires
configuration of the following parameters: the PVC parameter (VPI
and VCI) of the Abis signaling link, the TCP/IP address (IP address,
subnet mask and TCP port ID.) We also need to make sure that the
PVC used by the Abis signaling link is different from that used by the
Abis service.

3.1 Component Failure Description
3.1.1 Component Failure Detection
In this chapter, we will explain how the failure is spotted. The
following sections will provide the failure type definition and solutions
for the specific components.
The components here include the baseband board, RF module,
power module, antenna and feeder equipment, etc. If something
goes wrong with any of them, we can check the relevant alarm boxes,
maintenance console and the component indicators for information
about the component failure.
3.1.2 General Handling Procedure
When handling component failure, generally we should go “from
outside to inside”. The transmission link check and GPS receiving
signal check are external checks while the check on the boards and
modules are internal checks. The purpose of making such division is
to help us better understand the handling procedure. The external
check is actually combined with the internal check.
3-1

Handling
I. External check
1)
Power supply
Mainly check if the - 48 DC power input is normal, see “1.2
Maintenance Instructions” for details.
2)
Transmission link
Check if the transmission link between the BCIM of the BTS and
the XIE board of the BSC is secure, see “3.3 BTS Control Interface
Module (BCIM )” for details.
3)
GPS receiving signal
GPS signal is directed into the BCKM and processed by the
clock unit after received by the GPS antenna and feeder system, see
“3.4 BTS Control & Clock Module (BCKM)” for details.
II. Cabinet components
First check the PSU of the power subrack, and then the boards
(including BCIM, BCKM, BCPM, BRDM and BTRM), and finally the
RF units (including the BHPA, CDU/DFU/DDU, RLDU and the
antenna and feeder system).
1)
Power supply
Mainly check the PSU in the power subrack. If a PSU failure is
spotted, you should check if the - 48V DC power inlet on top of the
cabinet is in normal condition while going through the “3.10
Supply Unit (PSU)” for solutions.

Boards
Check the BCIM and the transmission link - only when these
two parts are working properly, can the BTS establish a link with the
BSC successfully.
Check the BCKM and the GPS receiving signals - only when
these two parts are working properly, can the other BTS boards work
normally.
Check if the BCPM is working properly.
Check if the BRDM is working properly – only so, can the BTRM
work properly.
Note:
The BTS boards have quite a lot in common, therefore, the problems appearing in
these boards may look similar. When locating the board failure, you can first see
“3.2 Handling of Common Board Failure” for advice. If the problem still cannot be
solved, please turn to other sections in which this board is involved.

RF components
Transmitting channel: the BTRM signal is sent to the CDU (or
DFU, DDU) and then sent to the antenna and feeder for transmitting.

3.2 Handling of Common Board Failure
3.2.1 Fault Description
Common Board Failure includes:
Board parameter configuration error;
Board communication link failure;
Abnormal board temperature;
Extraordinary CPU usage;
Emergency serial link broken;
Initialization failure of minor board components;
No signal detected at the optical interface;
CELL BUS clock missing;
Abnormally high CELL BUS subrack error rate;
CELL BUS driving components failure;
Board reset.
All the above failures will have relevant alarms generated.
3.2.2 Troubleshooting
I. Incorrect board parameter configuration
After the BOOTP request is successfully completed and the
OML with the OMC is successfully established, the BTS will check if
a BTS configuration file is locally available. If so, it will issue the
configuration dat a locally, otherwise the BCKM will download the
BTS configuration file from the remote OMC.
3-5
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 3 Component Failure
Handling
If the configuration file download fails, the board will not be able
to obtain the correct parameter configuration, and thus the BTS will
not start up properly. Possible causes of file download failure are:
1)
Correct file loading information has not been set up in the
OMC, or the configuration file is not correct;
2)
There is no relevant BTS configuration files in the file
loading directory in the OMC;
3)
The OMC FTP Server has not been started or it is not
running properly;
4)
The specific file path, file attributes and user information
are not configured correctly in the FTP Server.
In such case, we have to check the above possibilities and
eliminate faults one by one (we can perform such operations from
the OMC console). For other possible failure causes and solutions,
we can turn to “2.2 Software Download ”.
II. Board communication link failure
When the board is powered on and the initialization is complete,
it (any board other than the BCKM) will send a configuration request
to the OMU on the BCKM. After receiving correct configuration, it
shall start working. If the ALM and ACT indicators flash at a
frequency of 4Hz, there should be a communication link failure
between the board and the OMU.
1)
If there is only one board (for example: BCIM) generating
alarm, check if that board is plugged and secured properly
and then reset it. If the problem sustains, replace that
board.

If other boards are generating alarms at the same time,
there may be a problem with the BCKM, refer to “3.4
BTS
Control & Clock Module (BCKM)” for solutions.
3)
If the problems still can not be solved with the above two
steps, there must be something wrong with the backplane
of the baseband subrack. Replace it.
III. Abnormal board temperature
If the baseband subrack has an abnormal board temperature,
we first need to find out if the baseband subrack fan module is
working properly or if the ventilation channel is blocked; If the BTRM
has an abnormal temperature, we will have to find out if the BTS RF
Fan Module (BRFM) is working properly.
If the problems sustain after we have gone through the above
possibilities, it should be the relevant board failure and it needs to be
reset or replaced.
IV. No signal detected at the optical interface
Such problem mainly occurs in the BRDM and BTRM. Here we
first need to check the relevant optical interface and see if the optical
fiber is plugged in properly or if the boards and modules at both
sides of the cable are working properly, or if it is damaged or broken.
If so, go to the relevant sections in this chapter for solutions. If all
other possibilities have been eliminated, there must be something
wrong with certain board or module, reset or replace them.
V. Other faults
Other possible common failures include:

Board reset, CPU overusage, emergency serial port link
breakage, initialization failure of minor board components, missing
CELL BUS clock, abnormally high CELL BUS subrack error rate and
CELL BUS driving components failure, etc.
If the above problems occur occasionally or if it lasts for just a
short time, we can keep them under monitoring; if they occur
frequently (or appear long-lasting) and have seriously impeded the
BTS operation, we have to find out if there are other accompanying
problems and then go to the relevant sections in this chapter for
handling advice and solutions or have the board reset or replaced if
necessary.

3.8 BTS High Power Amplifier Unit (BHPA)
3.8.1 Fault Description
I. No RF signal output
II. Abnormal RF signal output including insufficient output
power and excessive output spectrum
3.8.2 Troubleshooting
I. No RF signal output
The reasons for no RF signal output in the BTS High Power
Amplifier Unit are: self-protection shutdown, module damage and
cable/connector connection failure.
1) Self-protection shutdown:
For self-protection purpose, the BTS High Power Amplifier Unit
will automatically shut down in case of Power Amplifier Over-Excited
alarm and Module Over-Heated alarm.
a) Power amplifier over-excited alarm:
The Power Amplifier Over-Excited alarm indicates the electrical
level of the input RF signal of the BHPA. When the electrical level of
the input RF signal is between +0.5dBm and +1.5dBm, the BHPA will
generate the Power Amplifier Over-Excited alarm, but will not
automatically shut down; When the electrical level of the input RF
signal is greater than +2.5dBm, the BHPA will generate the Power

Chapter 3 Component Failure
Handling
Amplifier Over-Excited alarm as well as automatically shut down; If
the external alarm conditions are eliminated, the BHPA will resume to
the normal working status.
b) Power amplifier over-heated alarm:
The Over-Heated alarm indicates the temperature changes of
the BHPA. When an Over-Heated alarm is generated, the BHPA will
shut down automatically. When the temperature of the BHPA is
between 90âC~100âC, the BHPA will also generate an Over-Heated
alarm and shut down automatically. The restoration threshold of the
Over-Heated alarm is 75âC~85âC.
Find out if there is a Power Amplifier Over-Excited alarm or
Module Over-Heated alarm by querying the current alarms from the
OMC or BTS local maintenance console.
The fault elimination process should be carried out step by step,
go directly to next step if the problem can not be solved:
Check if the RF output power of the BTRM is too high, if so,
decrease it.
Check if the fan for BHPA is working properly.
Check if the cable connecting the Power Amplifier module
of the BHPA and the RF fan monitoring board are in good
condition.
2) Faulty cable/connector connection
BHPA uses blind mate to connect to the BTRM, CDU (or DFU,
DDU) and power source via the backplane. Abnormal input/output
connection will result in the BHPA having no RF signal output.
3-21
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 3 Component Failure
Handling
The fault elimination process should be carried out step by step,
go directly to next step if the problem can not be solved:
Re-plug the BHPA, make sure it is secured in place and
connected to the backplane properly. Tighten the screws;
Check if the cable on the backplane connecting the BTRM
and BHPA, BHPA and the CDU (or DFU, DDU), power
source and the BHPA are getting loose or pulled off.
Check if the B HPA module is damaged.
If the BHPA is powered properly, the cable/connector are intact
and the signal input is normal while the BHPA still has no RF signal
output, the BHPA must be damaged and needs to be replaced.
II. Abnormal RF signal output
The Abnormal RF signal output of the BHPA means the output
power is lower than the rated value, the Adjacent Channel Power
Ratio (ACPR) of the output signal is above the acceptable level.
The main causes are: 1) the Power Amplifier gain is decreasing;
2) some of the Power Amplifier components are damaged; 3) power
output is too high. Abnormal Power Amplifier gain decrease will
generate relevant alarms; and if the input/output power is too high, it
will cause the Power Amplifier output spectrum to spread and the
ACPR to get above the acceptable level.
The gain decrease alarm indicates the working status of the
amplification channel of the BHPA. The alarm threshold is 3~6dB of
the power-amplification gain decrese. When the BHPA gain decreses
up to 6dB, an alarm will be generated; if it drops to 3dB or below, the
3-22
On-site Maintenance Manual

Chapter 3 Component Failure
Handling
alarm will stop. If the power-amplification gain decrease is within
3~6dB, it is a normal situation whether the alarm is generated or not.
We can find out if there is a “Power-amplification gain decrease”
alarm by querying the current alarm of the BTS on the OMC or local
maintenance console.
The fault elimination process should be carried out step by step,
go directly to next step if the problem can not be solved :
Check if the power output of the BHPA is too high. If so,
decrease it;
Replace the BHPA.

reported. Such problem will not be solved automatically, therefore the
power module should be replaced.
IV. The power module is over-heated
When the ambient temperature of the power module is too high
or the heat dissipating system is not working properly, the power
module will be overheated and stop working. The alarm indicator on
the module panel will be on and report an overheat alarm. When the
temperature decreases to an acceptable level, the module will
automatically start working again.
If the ambient temperature is OK and the module fan is running
but the module is still too hot, there must be something wrong with
the module itself. It will have to be replaced then.
V. The voltage of the power Input of the power module is

4.1 Common Procedure of Replacement
4.1.1 Board Replacement
I. Preparations for Board Removing
1)
Alarm query:
Before replacing the board, query the BTS alarm from the OMC
console and make notes of it. After the board is replaced, query the
alarm again and check if the alarm is cleared and if there is a
recovery alarm.
2)
Version check:
Before replacing the board, check the version of the board and
its software and make notes. Conduct the query again after the
board is replaced and check if the version is the expected one.
3)
Safety precautions:
Boards or modules are sensitive to static electricity and can be
damaged by them. Therefore, anti-static measures must be taken
when handling the board or module, e.g. wear anti-static gloves or
wrist strap which should be ensured to be properly grounded.
4)
Power supply cut-off:
Cut off the power supply to the board to be replaced, and
resume the power supply after the board is replaced.
4-1
On-site Maintenance Manual

Chapter 4 Component
Replacement
The power supply to all the boards in the baseband subrack is
controlled by the baseband subrack switch. There are two cases for
replacing the boards of baseband subrack:
Power off the baseband subrack to replace the BCIM or
BCKM (when the BTS has only one BCKM equipped).
Leave the baseband subrack power on, and replace the
BRDM, BCPM and BCKM (when the BTS has two BCKMs
equipped - for active/standby purpose).
5)
Sector carrier blocking:
When replacing the boards of the baseband subrack, we will
have to block those sector carriers that would be affected during the
replacement process. We can unblock them after the replacement is
finished.
If we operate directly on the BTRM power switch, the
block/unblock operation can then be skipped.
6)
Common tools:
A crosshead screwdriver for driving M3 screws is needed when
replacing the boards or modules.
II. Board Removing
1)
Loosen and remove the screws on the board panel
counter-clockwise.
2)
Hold the board upper and lower handles with both hands,
pull outwards and rotate 45 degrees. The board will then be
detached from the backplane.
3)
Pull out the board along the slot and put it into the
anti-static bag and keep it in the packing box (DO NOT

properly.
4.1.2 Backplane Replacement
I. Replacement Preparations
1)
Safety precautions
Be sure to take anti-static measures when handling the
backplane. Follow the operation procedures strictly so as to prevent
the static electricity from damaging the board. The backplane
replacement must be done with the power off and relevant operation
procedures must be strictly followed. Wear anti-static wrist strap or
gloves and connect the grounding end with the ground properly (the
switch housing).
2)
Power supply cut-off
Cut off the power supply for the whole BTS cabinet before doing
the replacement.
3)
Common tools
A crosshead screwdriver for driving M3 screws is needed when
replacing the backplane.
4)
Detach the BTS cabinet door
Loosen the BTS door screws;
Take the door apart from the cabinet;
Rest the door in a safe place.

Unplug the cables connecting the boards or modules to the
backplane and take the boards or modules out.
6)
Unplug the backplane cables
Unplug the cables on the back of the backplane, such as the
data cable, alarm cable, power cable, etc. Make notes of the cable
connection mode and order.
7)
Take off the metal shielding (For baseband subrack only)
Before removing the backplane of the baseband subrack, take
off the metal shielding. To do this: Unscrew the bolts that fix the
shielding to the cabinet. Be sure to keep the bolts safe and do not let
them fall into the cabinet, for that may cause short -circuiting.
II. Remove the backplane
1)
Loosen and remove the screws that fasten the backplane
onto the cabinet. Be careful to keep the screws in a safe
place and not to drop the screws in the cabinet, or it may
cause a short -circuit.
2)
Take the backplane down slowly with both hands.
Note:
1. For detaching the backplane from the baseband subrack, remove its metal
shielding cover first. Put the shielding cover back when the baseband backplane is
installed.
2. As the backplane is huge in size and rather heavy, to prevent an accident, get
some people to help when handling it.

4.2 Exceptional Procedure of Replacement
Note:
1. This procedure is based on the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”.
2. As we are going to focus on the parts different from the common replacement
procedure, be sure to get familiar with the “4.1.1
Board Replacement” first. Follow
the procedure exactly throughout the replacement process.
4.2.1 BTS E1 Surge Protector (BESP)
The physical structure and installation position of BESP are
rather different from those of the boards in the baseband subrack,
therefore, while basically observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”
(some processes, such as the board removal and installation, are not
applicable to BESP and thus, can be handled flexibly), we should
also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
Replacing a BESP may interrupt all the services transmitted
through it.
II. Cut off and resume the power supply
Before replacing the board, we should toggle off all the switches
in the BTS switch box one by one (first the switch for the RF module,
then the baseband subrack, then the fan and then the power
4-8

Replacement
module), and then switch off the -48V DC output of the AC/DC power
supply.
After the replacement is finished, toggle on all the switches on
an order contrary to the switching-off order.
III. Take down the BESP
Unfix the bolts of the semi-sealing cover on the BESP, remove
the cover, Unplug the E1 trunk cables of two 25-pin interfaces on the
BESP and unscrew the screws at the four corners of BESP to
dismount the BESP at the top of the equipment.
IV. Install the new BESP
Install the new BESP at the top of the equipment and fasten the
bolts on the four angles of the new BESP, connect the trunk cables at
the 25-pin interface. Finally install the semi-sealing cover.
4.2.2 BTS Control & Clock Module (BCKM)
While basically observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”, we
should also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
A BTS usually is equipped with two BCKMs, which work in an
active/standby mode. When the active board gets out of order, the
service will be automatically switched over to the standby board. In
such case, the faulty board can be replaced directly. However, if the
BTS is equipped with only one BCKM, the replacement of it will
interrupt all the BTS services.

II. Handling clock cables
Before replacing the BCKM, disconnect the clock cable from the
BCKM. Screw the clock cable back onto the panel of the new BCKM
after the replacement is finished.
4.2.3 BTS Control Interface Module (BCIM)
While basically observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”, we
should also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
Replacing a BCIM may interrupt all the services transmitted
through it.
II. Handling DIP switch and jumpers
Before putting on the new BCIM, make sure the setting of the
impedance matching jumpers (J6) and DIP switches (S2~S9) is the
same as that of the replaced board.
4.2.4 BTS Channel Process Module (BCPM)
While basically observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”, we
should also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
Generally, replacing a BCPM may interrupt all the services
transmitted through it. If the BTS is equipped with several BCPMs
4-10
On-site Maintenance Manual

Chapter 4 Component
Replacement
and a “daisy chain” between those boards, the service will not be
seriously affected.
4.2.5 BTS Resource Distribution Module (BRDM)
While basically observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement”, we
should also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
Replacing a BRDM may interrupt all the services transmitted
through it.
II. Handling optical fibers
Before replacing the BRDM, disconnect the optical fiber cable
from the board (make notes of the optical interface to which each
optical fiber corresponds). Connect the optical fiber cable back on
the new BRDM after the replacement is finished.
Take caution when plugging and unplugging the optical fiber. If
the fiber connector has a locker tab, remember to press it down
when unplugging the connector.
4.2.6 BTS FAN Module (BFAN)
The physical structure of BFAN is rather different from that of
the boards in the baseband subrack, therefore, while basically
observing the “4.1.1
Board Replacement” (some processes, such
as the board removal & installation and the MS dial-up test, are not
applicable to BFAN and thus, can be handled flexibly), we should
also pay attention to the following:

I. Heat dissipation
Replacing the BFAN will have some influence on the heat
dissipation of the baseband subrack
II. Handling screws
Keep the BFAN fastening screws in a safe place, as they will be
used to fasten the new BFA N.
4.2.7 Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The physical structure of PSU is rather different from that of the
boards in the baseband subrack, therefore, while basically observing
the “4.1.1
Board Replacement” (some processes, such as the
board removal & installation and the MS dial-up test, are not
applicable to PSU and thus, can be handled flexibly), we should also
pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the power supply
Since the PSU is configured in a n+1 backup mode, when a
PSU is out of service, the power supply to the whole system will not
be affected. Thus we don’t have to worry about the influence of
replacing a PSU on the power supply.
4.2.8 BTS RF Fan Module (BRFM)
The physical structure of BRFM is rather different from that of
the boards in the baseband subrack, therefore, while basically
observing the “4.1.1

as the board removal & installation and the MS dial-up test, are not
applicable to BRFM and thus, can be handled flexibly), we should
also pay attention to the following:
I. The influence on the service
If a certain BRFM does not work properly, we need to switch it
off from the BTS switch box before replacing it (note that a switch
serves a group of BHPA, BTRM and BRFM).
II. Handling optical fibers
When putting on the new BRFM, remember to put the optical
fiber in the notch in the lower-right corner of the module.
III. Handling relevant cables
When detaching the BRFM, remember to disconnect the cables
on it (make notes of the cabling destination so that the cables can be
plugged back in correctly). When the new BRFM is installed, connect
the cables on it correctly.
4.2.9 BTS High Power Amplifier Unit (BHPA)
The physical structure of BHPA is rather different from that of
the boards in the baseband subrack, therefore, while basically
observing the “4.1.1

When installing the RLDU, make sure its panel is in a seamless
contact with the front edge of the subrack and then tighten the
screws, or the RF transmission may not be able to meet the index.
IV. Setting the switches
After installing the new RLDU, the S/W switch setting should be
the same as that of the replaced unit.
4.2.12 Duplexer Unit (CDU, DFU, DDU)
cBTS3612 supports 3 types of duplexers Unit, including
CDU,DFU, DDU. Their replacement procedures are quite similar.
For example, the replacement procedures of CDU will be
introduced.

Replacement
The physical structure of CDU is rather different from that of the
boards in the baseband subrack, therefore, while basically observing
the “4.1.1
Board Replacement” (some processes, such as the
board removal & installation, are not applicable to CDU and thus,
can be handled flexibly), we should also pay attention to the
following:
I. The influence on the service
Replacing a CDU may affect the services transmitted through it.
Remember to switch off the BTRMs that transmit signal via this CDU
from the BTS switch box before replacing it.
II. Handling relevant cables
Before replacing the CDU, disconnect the RF cable on its panel
(remember to make notes of the matching relation of the main &
diversity cables and the corresponding ports). When the replacement
is finished, connect the cables back to the panel of the new CDU (in
the same way as that of the replaced unit) and make sure the
connectors are fixed tightly and in good contact. Do not damage the
connectors and be careful to run the cables wisely.
III. Detaching and installing the CDU
The CDU is rather heavy. Please hold it by the bottom with one
hand when handling it.
When installing the CDU, make sure its panel is in a seamless
contact with the front edge of the subrack and then tighten the
screws, or the RF transmission may not be able to meet the index.

Replacement
4.2.13 Optical Fiber Replacement
I. Checking the optical fiber
Before replacing the optical fiber, check the new fiber carefully
in the following ways:
Point one end of the optical fiber cable towards the sunlight and
observe the other end. If you can see the bright spots, that cable is
OK.
II. Plugging & unplugging the optical fiber connectors
Take special caution when plugging and unplugging the optical
fiber. If the fiber connector has a locker tab, remember to press it
down when unplugging the connector.
Before replacing the optical fiber, make notes of the optical
interfaces on the BRDM and BTRM to which each of the optical fiber
cables correspond. Connect the new optical fiber cables to the
corresponding interfaces correctly.
III. Handling excessive optical fibers
When there are excessive optical fibers left, coil them up and
put them where they should be.

6.3 Cabinet-Top E1 Interface
I. Description of cabinet-top E1 interface
Two transmission cables (corresponding to two BCIMs, each
containing 8 E1 trunk cables, which is numbered individually) run
from the backplane of the baseband subrack to the cabinet top and
connect to the two E1 BESPs (facing the cabinet and standing in
column) via the DB37 connectors. Generally the BCIM No.0
corresponds to the BESP in the front, and the BCIM
No.1
corresponds to the BESP at the back.
Each BESP has two DB25 connectors, and each DB25
connector has 4 E1 trunk cables. According to our actual needs, we
6-3
On-site Maintenance Manual
Airbridge cBTS3612 CDMA Base Station
Chapter 6 Switches &
Interfaces
can run E1 trunk cables from one or all of these 4 DB25 connectors
to the DDF rack in the cabinet room.
II. Caution-demanding issues
During the BTS capacity expansion or maintenance, we should
have a clear idea which DB25 connector is being used. Incorrect
cable connection will result in communication failure.
When the number of the E1 trunk cables actually used is less
than 4, generally we should use the first DB25 connector of the front
BESP (viewing from cabinet front); When the number of the E1 trunk
cables actually used is greater than 4, we should pick up the DB25
connectors in a “from-front-to-back” order according to the actual
capacity requirements.
