This alarm is reported when the link between the BBU and the lower-
level RF units malfunctions. This alarm is cleared when the link can
function properly and remains functional for a period of time (90s by
default). The alarm filtering parameters can be set by running the SET
ALMFILTER command
This alarm is reported when the status of all the SCTP links (no less
than two) that carry the S1 and X2 interfaces is abnormal. This alarm
is cleared when the status of an SCTP link that carries S1 and X2
interfaces becomes normal and the status remains normal for 90
seconds (default value)
This alarm is reported when a system does not have a valid license.
This alarm is cleared 2 minutes (by default) after a valid license is
loaded.
The alarm filtering parameters can be set by running the SET
ALMFILTER command
This alarm is reported when the difference between the actual gain
and the standard gain on the TX channel of the RF unit is greater
than 2.5 dB
The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measures the signal power
that the load actually receives from the transmission line. This alarm
is reported when the VSWR at the antenna port of the TX channel of
an RF unit is greater than the preset threshold. The VSWR at the
antenna port is calculated based on the sampled forward power and
reverse power.
This alarm is reported when the base station detects that the Stream
Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) link cannot process services
This alarm is reported when the status of all the SCTP links (no less
than two) that carry the S1 and X2 interfaces is abnormal. This alarm
is cleared when the status of an SCTP link that carries S1 and X2
interfaces becomes normal and the status remains normal for 90
seconds (default value
This alarm is reported when the base station detects that the Internet
Key Exchange (IKE) negotiation with the peer device fails.
After the user activated the configuration file, the system performs
validity check on the configuration file in the case of startup. This
alarm is reported when the configuration file is invalid. Note: If the
alarm is not cleared with the recommended actions, the alarm will be
automatically cleared after the base station is reset. In this case, the
base station works based on the default configuration.
This alarm is reported when the base station fails to update the
certificate.
In chain topology, the link for the lower-level RF units is disconnected and the
services carried on the lower-level RF units are interrupted. In CPRI MUX, the
services of the peer mode are interrupted when the local mode is a converging party
and the faulty port provides the convergence function.
In ring topology, the reliability of the links for the RF units decreases. In this case, the
standby link becomes the activated link for the lower-level RF units and the services
are switched over to the standby link. If a hot ring is used, the ongoing services are
not affected. If a cold ring is used, the ongoing services are interrupted temporarily

The board fails to work properly. The ongoing services carried on the board may be
interrupted. The services of the peer mode are interrupted when the following
conditions are met:
The RF units use CPRI MUX.
The local mode is the converging party.
The faulty board is a baseband board that provides the convergence function
The ongoing services carried on the board are interrupted. The service processing
capability of the peer mode decreases or the services of the peer mode are
interrupted when the following conditions are met:
The RF units use CPRI MUX.
The local mode is the converging party.
The faulty board is a baseband board that provides the convergence function
The board cannot carry services. The services of the peer mode are interrupted when
the following conditions are met:
The RF units use CPRI MUX.
The local mode provides the aggregation function. The faulty board is a baseband
board that provides the aggregation function
The status of all the SCTP links (no less than two) that carry the S1 and X2 interfaces
is abnormal. As a result, all the S1 and X2 interfaces of the base station cannot be
established, cells cannot be activated, and UEs cannot access the network
The user fails to power on/off the board or obtain the board electronic label. The
voltage and temperature of the board cannot be monitored. In this case, the board
reliability decreases.
If this alarm is reported in the base station to be upgraded, the faulty board may fail to
be activated during the upgrade.
The antenna device cannot work normally. In the case of an RET antenna, the
antenna tilt cannot be regulated. In the case of a TMA, the receive sensitivity
decreases. In the case of a RAE, the files storied in the equipment cannot be updated
or read
The RF unit may work improperly. The ongoing services carried on the RF unit may
be disrupted.
When the gain on the TX channel is extremely high, the downlink coverage of the cell
is excessive. In this case, the interference caused by cross coverage occurs.
When the gain on the TX channel is extremely low, coverage holes exist in the
downlink coverage of the cell. In serious cases, the ongoing services carried on the
RF unit may be disrupted.
The return loss at the antenna port is excessive. When the detected VSWR exceeds
the major alarm threshold, the system determines whether to switch off the TX
channel of the RF unit based on the actual configurations. When the VSWR alarm
post-processing switch is set to ON, the TX channel of the RF unit is switched off and
the alarm cannot be automatically cleared, and the ongoing services carried on the
TX channel are interrupted. When the VSWR alarm post-processing switch is set to
OFF, the power of the RF unit is automatically decreased (by 3 dB by default. The
specific value depends on service status.) to avoid hardware damage, and the alarm
can be automatically cleared.
The transmission link to the faulty port is disconnected. If a backup transmission port
or backup route exists, a switchover occurs and the ongoing services are not
affected. If the transmission load sharing function is configured on the faulty port, the
available transmission bandwidth decreases and data throughput is reduced
The transmission link to the faulty port is disconnected. If a backup transmission port
or backup route exists, a switchover occurs and the ongoing services are not
affected. If the transmission load sharing function is configured on the faulty port, the
available transmission bandwidth decreases and data throughput is reduced.
The status of all the SCTP links (no less than two) that carry the S1 and X2 interfaces
is abnormal. As a result, all the S1 and X2 interfaces of the base station cannot be
established, cells cannot be activated, and UEs cannot access the network.
The base station releases all UEs that have accessed the network over the faulty S1
interface.If no functional S1 interface is available and MNTMODE in the EQUIPMENT
MO is set to TESTING, the base station could activate the cells, and new UEs cannot
access these cells.If no functional S1 interface is available and MNTMODE in the
EQUIPMENT MO is not set to TESTING, the base station will deactivates the cells
The local base station releases the UEs involved in the inter-base station handover
procedure on the correlated X2 interface. Before the alarm is cleared, the local base
station cannot allow the inter-base station handover on the faulty X2 interface, and
the local base station does not support the inter-cell interference coordination with the
corresponding base station on the correlated X2 interface.
The quality of base station services decreases, resulting in handover failures and call
drops. In worst cases, the base station cannot provide services.
The RF unit may work improperly. The RF unit will be automatically reset. The
ongoing services carried on the RF unit are disrupted during reset.
When the reference clock type is incorrectly configured for a mode, the reference
clock from the mode is unusable. In this case, the system clock works in free-run
mode. Services are not affected during a short period of time. When the DID
configured for a mode is incorrect, users cannot manage the mode by the DID.
When the loading control rights conflict, the software version of the USCU and the RF
unit shared between different modes may be incorrect. In this case, some functions of
the multimode base station fail and the reliability decreases.
The cabinet types are inconsistent between different modes, affecting the cabinet
configuration, cabinet maintenance, and the inventory information recording.
System Actions
The radio resource capability of the cell available for operators derating.
Version rollback leads to NE reset. During the reset, the ongoing services carried on
the NE are interrupted.
The certificate cannot be automatically updated as scheduled, which may bring
security risks. If this alarm is not handled immediately, the certificate will expire in a
period of time and services will be interrupted.
The hardware clock fails. The ongoing services carried on the board are interrupted.
