remote
An alarm is issued when the Message Transfer Part level 3 (MTP3)

detects a faulty MTP3b signalling link. The fault can be permanent or
temporary. The possible causes are as follows:
a transmission fault
a process or processor restart in this node
a faulty ET board
a fault in the adjacent signalling node
remote and/or field
event, not a fault

The alarm is issued if the Ethernet switch port is becoming
overloaded. The load is 80% or more of the maximum allowed load.
The alarm remains as long as the port is overloaded and ceases
automatically when the load decreases. If the Ethernet switch port
becomes more overloaded, this alarm is replaced by the alarm,
Ethernet Switch Port Overload. Causes:
Maintenance of Ethernet switches.
Fault in the network.
Under-dimensioning
Faulty link(s) in the node.
This alarm appears when the Radio Base Station (RBS) fails to report
carrier power and uplink interference measurements to the Radio
Network Controller (RNC). Causes:
RBS resources are unavailable.

The alarm is issued when an ete Alarm Indication Signal (end-to-end
AIS) cell is received in the F5 Operation and Maintenance (O&M) flow
of the Virtual Circuit (VC).
The alarm is issued if the Ethernet switch port is overloaded. The load
is 100% or more of the maximum allowed load. The alarm remains as
long as the port is overloaded and ceases automatically when the load
decreases. If the Ethernet switch port load decreases, this alarm is
replaced by the alarm, Ethernet Switch Port Congestion.

remote and/or field
An alarm is issued when the Message Transfer Part level 3 (MTP3) detects a
faulty M3UA Association. The fault can be permanent or temporary.
The possible causes are as follows:
remote
a transmission fault
a process or processor restart in this node
a faulty General Purpose processor Board (GPB)
a fault in the adjacent signalling node
The alarm is issued when a specified number of the consecutive bad
seconds has been detected. A second is defined as "bad" if the
detected percentage of the block errors is equal to, or greater than,
the specified percentage. The values of the bad seconds (vcDegM
attribute in the MO, Vc4Ttp) and errored blocks (vcDegThreshold
attribute in the MO, Vc4Ttp) can be specified. The default values are 7
seconds and 30%, respectively. The alarm indicates that the VC4
(Virtual Channel) path through the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(SDH) transport network is affected by bit errors.
Invalid downlink code configuration
The alarm is generated when the C2 byte received in Virtual Container
4 Path Overhead (VC4 POH) contains the pattern 00000000 in five
consecutive frames. The alarm indicates that there is no payload on
the affected VC4. As a consequence of the fault, the traffic on the
affected VC4 path is lost.

The alarm is generated when an Multiplexer Section Alarm Indication Signal (MS
AIS) is detected in the K2 byte.
As a consequence of the fault, the traffic on the affected Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) link is lost.
The likely cause is that the MS is affected by the fault in the remote node.
Transport network errors between the RNC and the remote RNC
A restart in the remote RNC or intermediate system
A Radio Network Subsystem Application Part (RNSAP) failure in the RNC or the
remote RNC
remote and/or field
The alarm is issued when an ete RDI (end-to-end RDI) cell is received in the F5
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) flow of the Virtual Circuit (VC).
The fault is not in the local node, but in a remote node, or between the two nodes
through which the VC is routed. The remote node can be a Plesiochronous
Digital Hierarchy (PDH) or an Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) network
element, or an ATM switch. Alarms, for example, Loss of Signal and Loss of
Frame, identifying the failed entity, are reported from the network element that
detected the fault.
As a consequence of the fault, the traffic is lost. If the repair of the fault requires
site visits, it might be feasible to use an alternative VC for the traffic.
A Denib device is any hardware device that is monitored utilizing the Denib
protocol. Denib is an Ericsson proprietary protocol used when communicating
with certain hardware devices through a serial connection.

environmental reasons, particularly if several boards from different subracks have issued
the alarm. RBS Temperature Out Of Range offers a systematic procedure for determining
the correct cause.
If the alarm is issued together with a fan alarm, then the most likely cause of the alarm is a
faulty fan unit
If the alarm is issued on only one board, then it is probable that the board has developed a
fault, in which case, it is likely that an equipment alarm has also been issued for the board

Cables carry the gamma link between the following: the Baseband Interface
(BBIF) and Radio Frequency Interface (RFIF) boards; the Optical Baseband
Interface (OBIF) board and the RRU; the Radio Unit Interface (RUIF) and the
Radio Unit (RU). Between all other boards, the physical connections are made
through the backplane of the boards.Depending on the configuration, the RBS
can either work with reduced capacity as the RX diversity is lost or lose all
traffic. In the RBS EM it is possible to identify the affected (disabled) cells.

This alarm is issued by the Bfu Managed Object (MO) or the BfDevice MO when the RBS is
running on batteries only and the battery voltage is below a certain operator-defined or
hardware default level. To protect the batteries from damage, the RBS is disconnected.
Normally this alarm never reaches the operator, because the RBS is disabled when the
alarm is issued. The alarm BatteryVoltageSupervisionTooLowMainLoadDisconnected is
sent in advance.

An internal TPA hardware fault
External Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) (if TMA type is set to ATMA_AND_TMA, the
possible impact is on co-sited RBSs)
The alarm indicates a problem with the Baseband (BB) clock or the Node B Frame Number
(BFN) clock. The BB clock is generated by the Timing Unit Board (TUB) or the Control Base
Unit (CBU) or the Digital Unit WCDMA (DUW) and distributed to the RBS by one of the
following boards: RFIF, RUIF or REIF, OBIF, or sTRX. The BB clock is the RBS system
clock. The consequence of the fault is that the board or unit issuing the alarm is unable to
carry traffic. If the alarm is issued by a non-redundant RFIF board, RUIF or REIF board,
OBIF, or sTRX, then the RBS is unable to carry traffic. The likely cause of the alarm is a
faulty board or unit.

This alarm is issued when there is a communication fault in an Inter-Switch
module Link (ISL) between the main switch module and an extension switch
module in the node. In some cases, fault-free units may be indicated as well.
The fault is located in the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), which amplifies the RF
signals in the receiver (RX) chain. When the transistors in one branch have
failed, the cell is able to carry traffic as long as the other branch works, but the
RX chain performance is degraded.

The likely cause is a faulty TUB/CBU. The RBS can still function with this fault, but traffic is
disrupted in all cells. If the system is configured with two TUBs for redundancy, then it does
not switch to the other TUB automatically.
The alarm is raised by the HwUnit Managed Object (MO) with hwUnitType Battery Fuse
Unit (BFU), when the battery has been disconnected due to a tripped circuit breaker either
by user intervention or as an automatic BFU safe guard.
The battery backup is not available. The RBS will not be able to provide any service in case
of main power failure.
This alarm is issued when the Power Distributor (PD) in the Capacitor Unit (CU)
has detected that the input voltage is above the operator set or hardware
default value. The PD measures voltage and current load in the RBS.
This alarm is issued by the PdDevice Managed Object (MO) when the power distribution
system voltage is above an operator set or hardware default value. The alarm is related to
the Power Distributor (PD). The PD is the essential part of the Capacitor Unit (CU). The PD
measures voltage and current load in the RBS.
This alarm is issued by the TimDevice Managed Object (MO), and indicates problems with
the Timing Unit Board (TUB), the Control Base Unit (CBU) or the Digital Unit WCDMA
(DUW.
The likely cause of the alarm is an internal hardware fault in the TUB/CBU or DUW.
The consequence of the fault is that no calls can be set up and no user data can be
processed. If configured with redundancy, the RBS remains functional but without
redundancy.
License expired
License expired, removed or not installed.
The alarm can also occur if there is an attempt to activate the feature but the license is not
installed.
This alarm is issued when a Plug-In Unit is marked faulty after a hardware test of the board.
The alarm indicates that the operational (actual) security level of the node is
lower than the requested security level. As a result of the fault, the node has
reduced protection against unauthorized access.

The alarm is issued when the clock frequency in the transmit direction at the remote node
for the Inverse Multiplexing ATM (IMA) group is different from the clock frequency in the
receive direction in this node for the IMA group. This node and the remote node are
attempting to synchronize the IMA group in different, incompatible ways.
As a consequence of the fault, the IMA group does not function.
The license for 60 W power amplifiers does not exist or has expired
A license exists but the number of 60 W power amplifiers is larger than permitted by the
new license
The alarm is issued when the ET board cannot detect any signal at the input
port.

This alarm is issued by the PdDevice Managed Object (MO) when the Power Distributor
(PD) in the Capacitor Unit (CU) has detected that the input voltage is below the operator set
or hardware default value. The PD measures voltage and current load in the RBS.
The likely cause of this alarm is a fault in the external power supply system.
This alarm is issued by the BfDevice Managed Object (MO) or Bfu MO when there is a fault
in the internal power supply. It is generated by the Internal Distribution Module and Battery
Fuse Unit (IDM/BFU) or the BFU (or equivalent for RBSs with RBS-controlled power supply
system located outside the cabinet).
The cause of this alarm can be one of the following:
A blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker in the IDM/BFU or in the BFU.
A circuit breaker set to OFF (all circuit breakers must be in the ON position, even if no
equipment is connected)
Door open

The alarm is issued when there is a fault in the active switch plane in a switch module.
As a consequence of the fault, the traffic is lost.
The likely cause is that it is a consequence of the primary alarms:
Switch Core Fault
Switch Port Fault
The most likely cause of the alarm is a broken fan. If the cause of the problem is not the
unit issuing the alarm, it could be environmental reasons. If so, RBS Temperature Out Of
Range offers a systematic procedure for determining the correct cause.
This alarm is issued when a Random Access and Receiver Board (RAX board) is given a
slot position that shares a backplane wire with a slot where another RAX board is already in
operation.
One or more of these alarms is issued when there is a fault in the switch plane. A switch
plane is distributed on all boards in a switch module. In some cases, fault-free units may be
indicated as well. The alarm is also issued for a limited period of time for a Switch Core
Board (SCB) or a Control Board Unit (CBU) in connection with upgrade, and node and
board restart.

The clock quality is not affected when a stand-by reference is available, that
is, the clock maintains locked mode by selecting a stand-by reference.
However, the alarm stays active as long as any synchronization reference
marked LOSS_OF_TRACKING remains. Check if there are any stand-by
