Overview
This procedure gives instructions to connect the LMF to the BTS.
LMF to BTS Connection
The LMF is connected to the MMI/LMF connector on the diagnostic
access area.
The LMF serial port, or PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association) Serial Adapter provides the connection
between the LMF and the MMI/LMF connector located on the
diagnostic access area.
There are three different methods to connect the LMF to the BTS: serial
port to DB9, Ethernet via Ethernet hub, and Ethernet via crossover
connection.
Procedure to Connect LMF to
BTS via Serial Port Connection
Connect the LMF to the BTS. Refer to Figure 7-6, Figure 7-10, and
Table 7-2.

Procedure to Connect LMF to
BTS via Ethernet Connection
You can connect the LMF to the BTS via an Ethernet connection.
Depending upon site configuration, you can use an Ethernet connection
with or without an Ethernet hub. For example, if your BTS is mounted
on a pole and there is no power connection available for the Ethernet
hub, then you can connect to the BTS via a RJ45 crossover cable or a
MMI to LAN crossover adapter. In either case, you must configure
either the RJ45 cable or the adapter to a crossover configuration.
Ethernet connection via Ethernet hub
To connect the LMF to the BTS via an Ethernet connection using an
Ethernet hub, refer to Figure 7-7, Figure 7-10, and Table 7-2.

1X testing:
1. Advantest R3267 with R3562 Signal Generator
2. Agilent E4406A with E4432B Signal Generator
If you are not going to perform the ATP, then proceed to
the “Creating a Named HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Communication” procedure in this chapter.
NOTE
Equipment warm-up
Warm-up BTS equipment site for a minimum of 60
minutes prior to the BTS ATP. This assures BTS site
stability and contributes to test accuracy.
(Time spent running initial power–up, hardware/firmware
audit, and BTS download counts as warm–up time).
IMPORTANT
*
Warm-up test equipment for a minimum of 60 minutes
prior to their use in the BTS ATP. This assures maximum
equipment measurement accuracy and consistency during
testing.
IMPORTANT
*
All test equipment is controlled by the LMF via a Serial Cable/GPIB
bus. The LMF expects each piece of test equipment to have a factory-set
GPIB address. If there is a communications problem between the LMF
and any piece of test equipment, you should verify that the GPIB
addresses have been set correctly.

Objective
The objective of this procedure is to configure the BTS and establish
communication sessions between the LMF and BTS. This procedure
consists of:
1. Creating a named hyperterminal connection for MMI
communication
2. Establishing an MMI communication session
3. Verify and set IP address
4. Programming customer operating channel
5. Verifying BTS synchronization mode
6. Verifying DPLL tracking
7. Setting frame_id
Procedure to Create a Named
HyperTerminal Connection for
MMI Communication
Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field
Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI communication
session between the CDMA LMF computer and the FRU. Using features
of the Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI
session can be saved on the CDMA LMF computer as a named Windows
HyperTerminal connection. This eliminates the need for setting up
connection parameters each time an MMI session is required to support
optimization.
Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on
the Windows desktop. Double–clicking the shortcut icon will start the
connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.
Follow the procedures in Table 7-6 to establish a named HyperTerminal
connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.
Table 7-6: Procedure to Create a Named HyperTerminal Connection for MMI Communication

Updating Default Channel
Setting to Customer Operating
Channel
A non–volatile database containing the default channel and default
power level of the site must be programmed. The default channel is the
customer operating channel for this site. The default power level must
be set to –50 dBm which will be overwritten by the MM/OMCR when
the site comes on–line.
It is imperative that the customer frequency be programmed into this
database. Failure to do so may result in the RF interference to other
RF–emitting devices in the local area whenever the site is powered up.

Synchronization Background
GPS
GPS is typically used as the primary timing reference for CDMA BTSs.
In applications where RGPS is used, the BTS is said to be synchronous
with CDMA system time. The RGPS provides a 1 Pulse Per Second
timing reference and Time Of Day information to allow the BTS to
synchronize to CDMA system time.
HSO
A High Stability Oscillator (HSO) within the BTS provides a backup
timing reference in the event of a GPS outage. Using only the HSO, the
BTS can maintain CDMA system time for up to 24 hours. The BTS can
also use the HSO as the primary timing reference (non–synchronous
operation). However, synchronization to CDMA system time is not
possible. The HSO provides a 1 Pulse Per Second timing reference to
allow the BTS to remain synchronized to CDMA system time in the
event of a GPS outage (synchronous operation) or to provide a stable
frequency reference (non–synchronous operation).
The HSO must be installed with GPS tracking for at least
24 hours before the HSO can provide 24 hours of backup
for CDMA system time synchronization.
NOTE
BTS
The BTS uses a Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) to track the RGPS
and/or HSO and generate a 19.6608 MHz CDMA timing reference. This
timing reference, in conjunction with Time Of Day information provided
by the RGPS, allows the BTS to synchronize to CDMA system time. A
2 Second reference is also generated by the BTS to allow alignment of
Pilot offsets for the BTS and external test equipment. Both the 19.6608
MHz (19 MHz) and 2 Second (2 Sec) references are available via SMA
connectors located in the Diagnostic Access Area.
In order for the DPLL to begin the RGPS tracking process, the RGPS
must be tracking GPS satellites. In order for the DPLL to begin the
HSO tracking process, the BTS must be powered up (warmed) for at
least 15 minutes.
The DPLL status is defined as being in one of five states: Init, Warm,
A1, A2 and TK.
SThe Init state is the starting state of the DPLL.
SThe Warm state is the condition during the 15 minute BTS warm up
time.
SThe A1 and A2 states are acquisition states when the DPLL is
adjusting the 19.6608 MHz frequency based on the available reference

sources (RGPS or HSO). Under normal operating conditions, the
acquisition states last about 5 minutes.
SThe TK state is the DPLL tracking state and is entered at the end of
the acquisition states. The TK state is required for performing ATP.
Procedure to Verify and
Change BTS Synchronization
Mode
The Sync button in the Diagnostic Access Area is used to toggle the
RGPS or HSO as the primary timing reference for the BTS. If the
External indicator in the Diagnostic Access Area is illuminated, the BTS
expects an RGPS to be present for use as the primary timing reference.
If the External indicator is not illuminated, the BTS will use the internal
HSO as the primary timing reference.
Use the procedure in Table 7-10 to verify and, if necessary change the
BTS Sync mode.
Table 7-10: Procedure to Verify and Change BTS Sync Mode
Step Action
1If an MMI session was established, proceed to step 7. If no MMI session is running, proceed to
step 2.
2Connect the MMI/LMF.
3Open an MMI Communication session.
4Simulate an LMF connection by issuing the sndtype 0xa178 command.
5Verify that the BTS is in OOS_RAM status by issuing the status command.
6Enter the sndtype 0x4003 command to change the state to OOS_RAM.
7Observe the condition of the External indicator.
8No further action is required if the BTS is in the desired Sync mode. Continue with Step 9 if the
Sync mode needs to be altered.
9Push the Sync button to change the BTS Sync mode.
10 Reset the BTS using the Reset button in the Diagnostic Access Area.
11 If no additional MMI sessions are required at this time, exit the MMI session and HyperTerminal
connection by selecting File>Exit.

Configuration Data File (CDF)
The Configuration Data File (CDF) includes the CDMA channel element
allocation plan. This plan indicates how each CDMA carrier is
configured, and how the paging, sync, traffic, and access channel
elements (and associated gain values) are assigned.
The CDF file also contains a table for the Effective Rated Power (ERP)
for each transmit antenna. Motorola System Engineering specifies the
ERP of a transmit antenna based on site geography, antenna placement,
and government regulations. Working from this ERP requirement, the
antenna gain, (dependent on the units of measurement specified) and
antenna feed line loss can be combined to determine the required power
at the BTS TX output.

Test Equipment Calibration
JAN 2002 7-51
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Background
To prevent damage to the test equipment, all Microcell
transmit (TX) tests must be made using the 30 dB
attenuator.
CAUTION
Proper test equipment calibration ensures that the test equipment and
associated test cables do not introduce measurement errors, and that
measurements are correct.
If the test set being used to interface with the BTS has been
calibrated and maintained as a set, this procedure does not
need to be performed. (Test Set includes LMF terminal,
communications test set, additional test equipment,
associated test cables, and adapters.)
NOTE
This procedure must be performed prior to beginning the optimization.
Verify all test equipment (including all associated test cables and
adapters actually used to interface all test equipment and the BTS) has
been calibrated and maintained as a set.
If any piece of test equipment, test cable, or RF adapter,
that makes up the calibrated test equipment set, has been
replaced, re-calibration must be performed. Failure to do so
can introduce measurement errors, resulting in incorrect
measurements and degradation to system performance.
CAUTION
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test set. Calibrate the test equipment
after it has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for a
minimum of 60 minutes.
IMPORTANT
*
These procedures access the LMF automated calibration routine used to
determine the path losses of the supported communications analyzer,
power meter, associated test cables, and (if used) antenna switch that
make up the overall calibrated test set. After calibration, the gain/loss
offset values are stored in a test measurement offset file on the LMF.

SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Background
Proper test equipment setup ensures that all measurements are correct,
and that test equipment and associated test cables do not introduce
measurement errors. Motorola recommends repeating cable calibration
prior to testing at each BTS site.
If not already done so, this procedure needs to be performed prior to
beginning the ATP. Verify that all test equipment (including all
associated test cables and adapters actually used to interface all test
equipment and the BTS together) has been calibrated.
In the event that any piece of test equipment, test cable, or
RF adaptor is replaced that makes up the calibrated test
equipment set, re–calibration should be performed. Failure
to do so can introduce measurement errors, resulting in
incorrect measurements or degradation to system
performance.
CAUTION
Calibration of the communications test set (or equivalent
test equipment) must be performed at the site before
calibrating the overall test set after it has been allowed to
warm–up and stabilize for a minimum of 60 minutes.
IMPORTANT

Purpose of Cable Calibration
This procedure accesses the LMF automated calibration routine used to
determine the path losses of the supported communications analyzer,
power meter, associated test cables, and (if used) RF Network making up
the overall calibrated test set. After calibration, the gain/loss offset
values are stored in a test measurement offset file on the LMF.
If you have obtained the test cable insertion loss values previously, you

Create CAL File
JAN 2002 7-65
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Objective
Use this procedure to create a CAL file for the Calibration audit. You
must do this procedure before the RF path audit.
Background
The Create CAL File function gets the BLO data from the MAWI and
creates/updates the CAL file for the BTS. If a CAL file does not exist, a
new one is created. If a CAL file already exists, it is updated. The BTS
is calibrated at the factory and normally does not require calibration after
installation, so you must use the Create CAL File function to create a
CAL file since TX calibration is not performed.
The Create CAL File function only applies to selected
(highlighted) MAWIs.
NOTE
The CBSC does not require a calibration file for operation
of an SC300 BTS.
NOTE
The user is not encouraged to edit the CAL file as this
action can cause interface problems between the BTS and
the LMF. To manually edit the CAL file, you must first
logout of the BTS. If you manually edit the CAL file and
then use the Create CAL File function, the edited
information is lost.
NOTE
Prerequisites
The following must be done before you run this test:
SThe MAWI has the correct code load and data load.
SThe MAWI is INS.
SThe LMF is logged on to the BTS.

Acceptance Tests
JAN 2002 7-67
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Overview
This chapter describes the various TX and RX acceptance tests.
TX Test Objective
The following tests will verify the TX antenna path. Output power
control will also be verified. All tests will be performed using the power
meter and communication test set. Measurements will be via the
Antenna B connectors.
You must remove the antenna cables before you perform
the ATP.
NOTE
The BTS is keyed up to generate a CDMA carrier at 31 dBm.
TX Tests
The following TX tests will be performed to verify the CDMA Forward
Link.
Near band & in band spurious emissions and occupied
bandwidth
You will verify that the transmitted CDMA carrier waveform generated
meets the Spurious Emissions specification (transmit spectral mask and
Occupied Bandwidth as defined in IS95A/B) with respect to either a
pre–determined test pattern or test pattern generated by using assigned
cdf file values.
–+/– 750 kHz from center frequency to +/– 1980 kHz from center
frequency – at least –45 dBc
–+/– 1980 kHz from center frequency and out – at least –60 dBc
–all near band and out of band spurious emissions are verified to be
less than or equal to –60 dBc relative to reference power (measured
previously as total power).
Waveform quality (Rho) and pilot time tolerance (offset)
You will verify that the transmitted Pilot channel waveform quality (rho)
exceeds the minimum specified value in ARIB STD T53. Rho
represents the correlation between actual and perfect CDMA modulation
spectrum. 1.0000 represents 100% (or perfect correlation).
–Waveform quality (Rho) should be > 0.912 (–0.4 dB).
The Pilot Time Tolerance (Offset) is the difference between the CDMA
analyzer measurement interval (based on the BTS system time reference)
and the incoming block of transmitted data from the BTS (Pilot only,
Walsh code 0).
–Pilot Time Tolerance (Offset) should be < 10 uS. (< 3 uS typical).

CDMA carrier frequency verification
You will verify the frequency of the transmitted CDMA carrier signal to
be within 0.05 ppm.
Code domain power noise, pilot power, and total power
You will verify that the code domain noise floor of all unused Walsh
codes within the CDMA spectrum measures < –27 dB (with respect to
total power). Pilot power will be verified to measure –7.04 dB +/–0.5
dB (with respect to standard test patterns). Total power will be verified
to measure +2/–4 dB (with respect to CDF specific file parameters).
BTS frequency accuracy
BTS frequency accuracy can be verified manually during normal
operation by monitoring the 19.6608 MHz reference (19 MHz) from the
Diagnostic Access Area. A frequency counter with an accuracy of +/–
0.005 ppm can be used to check the BTS frequency accuracy.
RX Test Objective
The following test will verify the RX antenna path(s).
All tests will be performed using the communication test set.
Measurements will be via the Antenna A and Antenna B connectors.
RX Tests
The following RX test will be performed to verify the CDMA Reverse
Link.
BTS RX sensitivity/frame erasure rate
The default test verifies the BTS sensitivity on all Traffic Channel
elements (fullrate at 1% FER) at an RF input level of –117 dBm on the
RX antenna path.
There are no pass/fail criteria associated with FER readings
taken at level below –117 dBm; other than to verify that
the FER measurement reflects changes in RX input signal
level.

Subscriber Unit (SU) Test and Setup
JAN 2002 7-69
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Objective
The following procedure is to test and verify the operation of the
Subscriber Unit (SU). This procedure also contains instructions to
program the NAM parameters into the SU prior to operation.
Background
The integral Subscriber Unit (SU) provides a controlled method of
terminating calls within the local BTS for diagnostic purposes. The
SU’s RF is connected to the forward port of the antenna directional
couplers via distribution components to provide a hard–wired path. The
SU performs a system–level test call with audio loopback functionality.
Control of the SU is only available remotely via the dial up modem (or
locally via the MMI). The OMCR–based SALT script is not supported.
The Subscriber Unit Distribution (SUD) is the board that provides RF
splitting and attenuation for the subscriber unit RF signal. The SUD is
an internal module.
Procedure to Test and Verify
SU
Follow the instructions in Table 7-41 to test and verify the operation of
the SU.
Table 7-41: Procedure to Test and Verify the Subscriber Unit
Step Action
1Connect the LMF computer to the MMI/LMF connector. Refer to Figure 7-6.
2If you have not already done so, logout of the BTS and exit the LMF. Wait 10 seconds before
proceeding.
3Establish an MMI communications session with the BTS. Refer to NO TAG.

Calculating 1900 MHz Center
Frequencies
Table 7-43 shows selected 1900 MHz CDMA candidate operating
channels, listed in both decimal and hexadecimal, and the corresponding
transmit, and receive frequencies. Center frequencies (in MHz) for
channels not shown in the table may be calculated as follows:
STX = 1930 + 0.05 * Channel#
Example: Channel 262
TX = 1930 + 0.05*262 = 1943.10 MHz
SRX = TX – 80
Example: Channel 262
RX = 1943.10 – 80 = 1863.10 MHz
Actual frequencies used depend on customer CDMA system frequency
plan.
Each CDMA channel requires a 1.77 MHz frequency segment. The
actual CDMA carrier is 1.23 MHz wide, with a 0.27 MHz guard band on
both sides of the carrier.
Minimum frequency separation required between any CDMA carrier and
the nearest NAMPS/AMPS carrier is 900 kHz (center-to-center).

Outdoor Grounding Guidelines Summary
JAN 2002 A-1
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures
DRAFT
Background
This is a summary of the outdoor grounding guidelines. Outdoor
installations should be based on this summary and site specific
documentation. Motorola publication 68P81150E62 should also be
followed to ground an antenna tower.
This guideline assumes that auxiliary equipment is co–located at the
installation site. All of the equipment referenced may not be present at
every site.
Because outdoor MicroCell installations will involve a variety of
methods, this information is not meant to represent actual physical
layout. It is meant to act as an aid to understanding an effective ground
system.
Chassis Isolation
Regardless of the type of installation (wall, frame, pole), the grounding
plan must have a single point ground to prevent surge/transient currents
from passing through the BTS and auxiliary equipment. The BTS
includes insulation hardware to insure that the chassis will be grounded
by the intended ground path and not through the mounting structure
(frame, pole, or wall).
Master Ground Plate
The Master Ground Plate (MGP) is the key to the outdoor grounding
scheme. The MGP is the single grounding point for all BTS input and
output and provides a uniform ground potential through out the site.
Although the MGP may be implemented differently at each installation,
it must be a plate that is big enough to attach to all the lightning arrestors
and have a ground stud.
The MGP ground stud is the only connection to earth ground for the
BTS hardware.
Main AC Power
The AC power input is single–phase and connects to the BTS by a three
conductor cable. The cable is insulated and connects to the BTS on one
end and the AC source on the other end. The AC power source should
be ground referenced to the MGP at a point closest to the access point.
The line and neutral conductors must be protected by lightning arrestors.
The lightning arrestors connect to the MGP at the same point as the AC
ground reference.
If an external circuit breaker or an uninterruptible power supply are used,
install them between the AC power lightning arrestor and the BTS.
Antenna
Coaxial cables are used to connect to the antenna(s). The ground
conductor (shield) of the coaxial cable must be ground referenced to the
A
Outdoor Grounding Guidelines Summary – continued
DRAFT
SCt300 1X BTS Hardware Installation, ATP, and FRU Procedures JAN 2002
A-2
MGP at the antenna access point. The signal (center) conductor must be
protected by a lightning arrestor. The lightning arrestor connects to the
MGP at the same point as the ground conductor (shield) of the antenna
cable.
Chassis
The ground stud of the BTS chassis connects to the MGP.
T1 Span Lines
The BTS can connect to two T1 span lines. For many applications the
T1 cable is derived from an optical fiber interconnect. For cases where
the optical interconnect is non–metallic, no special grounding is needed.
If the optical fiber is encased in a metallic sheath, the sheath must be
grounded to the MGP. If the span lines are metallic, the conductors must
be protected by lightning arrestors which connect to the MGP at a point
closest to the demarcation point.
Modem
A single tip and ring pair is used for a dial–up modem connection. The
tip and ring pair must be protected by a lightning arrestor which
connects to the MGP at a point closest to the demarcation point.
Customer I/O
The BTS provides eight customer defined inputs. These connections are
internal to the cell site and do not require special grounding unless they
originate from an area not protected by the MGP.
Example: Signal light in tower configuration

LPAC Alarms
3901 LPAC: High Power
Over Limit Alarm –
Unit A
The output detector on the unit monitors the output power. An alarm
generates when the output power surpasses a preset threshold. At this
point, the PA is outputting more power than it can sustain, and damage
will result if the PA continues to operate. A typical scenario that would
cause a high power over limit alarm would be when power into the PA is
more than it can safely sustain. This would cause an input overload,
which is detected by the output detector, and the BTS would
automatically reduce its output power. The BTS will remain in service
after this alarm. Some calls may be dropped.

Alarm
#Alarm DescriptionAlarm Name
3921 LPAC: Very High
Temperature Alarm –
Unit A
This alarm is generated when the temperature on the PA unit exceeds the
threshold value for very high temperatures. This is either an equipment
alarm suggesting a hardware failure, or an alarm indicating environmental
extremes. To avoid equipment damage, the PA will automatically shut
down. This will also cause the BTS to reboot.
3931 LPAC: High
Temperature Alarm –
Unit A
This alarm is generated when the temperature on the PA unit exceeds the
threshold value for very high temperature. This is either an equipment
alarm suggesting a hardware failure, or an alarm indicating environmental
extremes. The BTS will reboot automatically to avoid equipment
damage.
3941 LPAC: VSWR Alarm
– Unit A This alarm indicates a VSWR alarm was detected on the PA unit. This is
an equipment alarm, suggesting a hardware failure of the antenna system,
which is external to the PA.
This alarm is considered capacity–limiting because the BTS will reboot
automatically.
3961 LPAC: IM Loop Not
Converged Alarm –
Unit A
This alarm is generated when the convergence loop on the PA unit is
unable to cancel the distortion components created by the PA such that the
PA meets proper specifications. This alarm is detected by monitoring and
measuring IM products. An alarm will generate if the readings fall below
a preset threshold. The BTS will reboot automatically.
3980 LPAC Combination
Alarm, Complete
Sector Failure
This alarm is generated when the LPAC reports at least one of the
following alarms:
SVery High Temperature Alarm,
SIM Loop Not Converged Alarm,
SVSWR Alarm
A combination alarm indicates a complete BTS reboot. Therefore, the
sector has lost power and is no longer transmitting. Calls will neither
originate to the failed sector, nor will existing calls hand off.
RF Related Alarms
9141 Forward Power Very
High Alarm: Sector 1 This alarm is generated whenever the P out of N forward gain samples
(where N and P may be configured) exceed a configurable forward gain
threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first level) and
a high (second level). The order of alarming by increasing severity is
normal condition, then high (second level), followed by very high (first
level). A forward power very high alarm clear is generated whenever P
out of N forward gain samples fall below the forward threshold minus a
forward gain Delta.

9161 Forward Power High
Alarm: Sector 1 This alarm is generated whenever the P out of N forward gain samples
(where N and P may be configured) exceed a configurable forward gain
threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first level) and
a high (second level). The order of alarms listed by increasing severity is:
normal condition, high (second level), and very high (first level). A
Forward Power High Alarm Clear is generated whenever P out of N

9171 Reverse Noise Rise
High Alarm: Sector 1 This alarm is generated whenever a reverse noise rise measurement
(rolling average over a configurable number of samples) exceeds a reverse
noise rise threshold. Two alarm levels can be specified: a very high (first
level) and a high (second level). The order of alarms listed by increasing
severity are: normal condition, high (second level), and very high (first
level). A Reverse Noise Rise High Alarm Clear is generated whenever
the reverse noise rise measurement recedes below the reverse noise rise
threshold minus a delta.
9210 Forward Power
Limiting Alarm When the Forward Power Limiting alarm is activated, the BTS controller
will instruct the CDMA transceiver to limit the forward power at or below
the current peak power level (or at a fixed power level) or to reduce the
forward gain by a fixed amount. A Forward Power Limiting Alarm is
generated whenever the forward power exceeds the user definable fixed
power threshold (fixed limit mode), or the forward gain measurement
exceeds the forward gain limiting threshold (self–calibrating limit mode).
A Forward Power Limiting Alarm Clear is generated whenever the
forward power falls below the power limit threshold minus a clear event
delta (fixed limit mode) or the forward gain measurement falls below the
forward gain limiting threshold minus a forward gain limiting delta
(self–calibrating limit mode).
9211 Forward Power
Limiting Alarm –
Recovery Attempts
Exceeded
This alarm is generated when the system has tried to recover the LPA
over–driven condition for the user–configurable maximum number of
times and the over–driven condition still exist. This alarm is only
applicable for the self–calibrating limit mode.
Synchronization Alarms
10030 Lost Phase Lock This alarm is generated when the active BTS DPLL loses phase lock and
re–enters acquisition mode. If the BTS does not regain phase lock, or
repeatedly gains and loses phase lock, the problem is most likely a
hardware problem in the unit.

#Alarm DescriptionAlarm Name
10040 GPS Reference Source
Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure (missing clock
pulses or associated device not ready) of its GPS reference source. The
additional alarm data will include information about the reference source
priority. The reference source priority is the priority of the GPS reference
source in relation to the other available reference sources.
This alarm will report when local conditions prevent proper GPS
reception or when the GPS system is taken down for configuration. If the
GPS reference source does not recover or repeatedly fails, a problem may
exist in the GPS receiver hardware. This alarm is only reported after the
GPS is lost for more than 30 seconds. The loss of GPS for shorter periods
of time is not considered unusual, especially if the antenna placement is
less than optimum. Short losses of GPS will have no impact on the
performance of the BTS.
10060 GPS Message Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS receives a message from the GPS
receiver that cannot be processed. The additional info will indicate if the
message problem was due to an unknown type, checksum failure, format
failure, incomplete message (timeout during message reception) or remote
GPS cable delay compensation failure. This alarm is provided to allow
additional status to be tracked.
10091 HSO Reference Source
Failure This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure (missing clock
pulses) of its High Stability Oscillator (HSO) reference source. The
additional alarm data will include information about the reference source
priority. The reference source priority is the priority of the Rubidium
reference source in relation to the other available reference sources.
If the Rubidium reference source does not recover or repeatedly fails, a
problem may exist in the Rubidium Reference Source hardware.
10100 No Reference Source
Available This alarm is generated when the BTS detects a failure of all of its
available reference sources.
10110 Reference Source
Switch This alarm is generated when the BTS switches to an alternate reference
source. The additional alarm data will identify the alternate reference
source type (GPS, HSO, HSO2 – if sync daisy chain is used or freerun).
A reference source switch occurs when a reference source fails and an
alternate reference source is available. The reference source switch is
seamless and does not cause degradation in system performance
10111 Reference Source
Unreliable This alarm is generated when the reporting device expires a given time
period during which its reference source is known to provide a reliable
clock for the maintenance of CDMA system time. Once the alarm is
generated, it is possible that the reporting device is running with a clock
that has drifted from CDMA system time. If so, the reporting device will
continue to support call originations and maintenance, but cannot
guarantee hand–off capability. The additional data will identify the
reference source the device is currently using as a timing reference.

1701–
1708 BTS Relay #n –
Contact Alarm This alarm is active when a BTS input relay has opened or closed. The
relay number “n” will be 1–8. This is an equipment alarm and suggests a
possible hardware failure or operator–defined condition.
1800 BTS Controller
Disabled Device This alarm is active when the BTS Controller has detected a faulty device
and is requesting that the device be disabled. The device is not
responding to an update or has been implicated by a series of alarms.
12040 TRX Failure This alarm is generated when a BTS detects a failure in its TRX. The
additional data specifies the TRX failure. If the BTS is not a master
device, the BTS will de–key its TRX and Ram Boot itself. If the BTS is
a master device and it is in service, the master BTS shall de–key its
troubled TRX and stay in service. Since there is a one–to–one relation
between a BTS and its TRX, this will result in the sector going out of
service.
12050 TRX Warning This alarm is generated when a BTS detects a high temperature in its
TRX. The additional data indicates the specific problem. The BTS will
not de–key the TRX as a result of this alarm.
12060 Cabinet Temperature This alarm is generated when a BTS detects a temperature threshold
violation or a problem with the temperature sensing mechanism. The
reason code indicates the exact error.
