 §2 Alarm Type
Classified by Nature of Alarm

Fault Alarm
The alarms generated in case of hardware equipment faults or major
function failures. After the fault has been removed ,the system will report a
cleared
alarm. One clear alarm corresponds to one fault alarm
Event Alarm
The accidental alarms indicating that the system is in alarm state for a

while. There is no cleared alarm for event alarms

Classified by Network Management
Power system Hardware system QoS
Environment system Software system Error processing
Signaling system Operating system
Trunk system Communication system

 §4 Relative Concepts of Data File
What is the data file?

The data files of the NodeB contain its basic data information. They are
independent of the NodeB software:
Data configuration file : it records NodeB configuration information
Operation log file : it records NodeB maintenance information.
Equipment archives : it records manufacturing information of all
boards in the NodeB

What is the upload and download?

Upload: You can upload data files from the NodeB to the FTP Server for
viewing, modifying and saving. Upload has no impact on the NodeB
Download: You can download updated data files
from the FTP Server to the NodeB

Note: The FTP

Server has to work
