BTS3900(A) GSM Commissioning Guide 4 Commissioning the BTS (Transmission Available)

Alarm switch enabled and alarm switch valid level are required to be noted when checking the Boolean alarm both on the SMT and the LMT. The following part takes the Door Open Alarm of the DEMU as an example to describe the procedure for testing the Boolean alarm.

NOTE

l Trigger conditions of the Door Open Alarm: When the cabinet door of the BTS is open, the

DEMU reports Door Open Alarm; when the cabinet door of the BTS is closed, the Door Open Alarm is cleared.

l Disable the Door Open Alarm and configure the alarm valid level: When the Door Open

Alarm is disabled, the DEMU does not report the Door Open Alarm. In other words, the Door Open Alarm is shielded. Alarm valid level configuration specifies the valid level of the door

sensor alarm, which is determined by the attribute of the field Gate Magnetism.

l On the LMT, choose Alarm Maintenance > Browse Alarm. Check the alarm information in

the displayed Browse Alarm dialog box.

1. Check whether the Door Open Alarm can be reported normally by opening the cabinet door of the BTS and be cleared normally by closing the cabinet door of the BTS.

– If the alarm can be reported and cleared normally, end the checking task.

– If the alarm cannot be reported, go to Step 2 to check the data configuration of the

Gate Magnetism.

TIP

If the valid level of the door sensor alarm on site is inconsistent with the valid level of the door sensor alarm based on the data configuration, the reported alarms are opposite. For example, if the valid level of the door sensor alarm on site is high and the configured valid level is low, then:

When the cabinet door of the BTS is closed, the DEMU reports the Door Open Alarm; when the cabinet door of the BTS is open, the Door Open Alarm is cleared.

2. In the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal window, right-click the site to be queried and choose Configure Site Board Attributes. The Configure Site Board Attributes dialog box is displayed.

3. Click Configure Site Board Attributes, the Site Device Attributes dialog box is displayed.
