1 About this document
This document provides information on the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station alarms. The alarms are used as a basis for internal fault recovery and fault reporting to the BSC, NMS/2000 and/or the Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager software.
This document also gives instructions for the operator on how to correct the faults and maintain traffic in the air interface and/or to protect the units in the base station.

About this document

Note
This document does not include transmission unit alarms. Please refer to appropriate transmission unit documentation.

2 BTS alarm handling
This chapter describes Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station alarm handling and alarm reclassification. The fields in the alarm description table are also described.

2.1 Alarm examples

Alarms can be detected at the BSC, the NMS, or at the BTS. Instructions on how to deal with the alarms is found in the alarm descriptions tables in Chapter 3 of this document.

BTS alarm handling

For instructions on how to replace units or carry out other maintenance tasks, refer to Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Maintenance and Nokia MetroSite Base Station: Field Upgrade.

2.1.1 Alarms seen at the BSC or NMS

Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station alarms issued at the BSC or NMS/2000 have a four-digit alarm number and an alarm name, together with the optional fault reason (refer to Figures 1 and 2). For information on the other fields shown in Figures 1 and 2, refer to BSC documentation.

Alarm Descriptions
Figure 2. Example 2, active alarm as seen at the BSC
The text below the alarm name describes the fault that has caused the alarm. For example, in alarm [2] in Figure 1, the power supply unit is probably broken.
Note
One alarm can have many different fault reasons.
In alarm [2] in Figure 1 the fault is different but the alarm number is the same as in Figure 2. The effect on the operation of a base station is the same, which is why they have the same alarm number and name.

2.2 Troubleshooting faults

BTS alarms are described in detail in the alarm description tables found in Chapter 3 of this document. Table 1 describes how to use the alarm description tables.
DN00112232 © Nokia Corporation Draft 13 (26)
Issue 3-0 en Nokia Proprietary and Confidential
Alarm Descriptions
Troubleshooting faults using alarm description tables
1. Check the alarm number and alarm name and find its alarm description table in Chapter 3 in this document.
2. Find the fault reason in the Fault reason field in the alarm description table.
3. Follow the instructions given in the Instruction field. See also the alarm cancelling information in the Cancelling field.
4. If the fault reason cannot be found in the Fault reason field, follow the instructions given for Other faults.
Note
Instructions given for Other faults apply to several different fault reasons.

2.3 Fault reporting

Where possible, correct all damage, failures, and faults and report them to Nokia using the Failure Report Form provided by Nokia Customer Services.
Note
You can save the alarm information to a log file on your PC with Nokia MetroSite BTS Manager.

2.4 Alarm reclassification

In fault situations, Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station runs an automatic reclassification procedure for major (**) and critical (***) alarms before it sends an alarm to the BSC. When an object becomes faulty, only one critical (***) alarm from the object can be active at a time.
In reclassification, the alarm handling detects which logical base station object is affected by a unit level fault. After reclassification, an object level alarm is issued according to a certain hierarchy, as described in Figure 4.

alarm is issued.

Alarm Descriptions
Fault situation [2]:
1. TRX 1 becomes disconnected and ceases to operate. 7606 TRX FAULTY alarm is issued.
2. TRX 2 becomes disconnected, which causes BTS 1 cease to operate. Alarm reclassification discards the new TRX alarm and a BTS alarm, 7603 BTS FAULTY, is issued.
Fault situation [3]:
1. TRX 1 becomes disconnected and ceases to operate. 7606 TRX FAULTY alarm is issued.
2. TRX 2 becomes disconnected, which causes BTS 1 cease to operate. Alarm reclassification discards the new TRX alarm and a BTS alarm, 7603 BTS FAULTY, is issued.
3. TRX 3 becomes disconnected, and another 7606 TRX FAULTY alarm is issued.
4. TRX 4 becomes disconnected, which causes BTS 2 cease to operate. Now both sectors in the BCF are not operating. Alarm reclassification discards both the new TRX alarm and the new BTS alarm, and a BCF alarm, 7600 BCF FAULTY, is issued.
Fault situation [4]:
1. TRX 1 becomes partially faulty but calls are getting through. 7607 TRX OPERATION DEGRADED alarm is issued.
2. TRX 2 becomes disconnected and ceases to operate. Alarm reclassification discards the new TRX alarm and a BTS alarm, 7604 BTS OPERATION DEGRADED, is issued.
