How To Read Alarm Logs - 5 Steps To 20

The 5-step document outlines how to ensure a site is ready for launch by checking cells, alarms, RSSI, VSWR, and RETs. Step 1 involves unlocking and enabling all cells to ensure proper fiber path. Step 2 checks for any active alarms. Step 3 looks at RSSI readings being above -113 and consistent across frequencies. Step 4 sets VSWR thresholds based on technology. And Step 5 requires RETs to be enabled for each frequency with a defined RET.

Steps to 20 
 
By following the steps below, this ensures site is RF complete and ready for launch. 
Step 1: Cells 
Step 2: Alarms 
Step 3: RSSI 
Step 4: VSWR 
Step 5: RETs 
 
Step 1: Cells – All cells are unlocked and enable, this ensures proper fiber path 

 
Step 2: Alarms‐ this ensures no active alarms on site 
Pass: 

 
Fail: 

 
 
 
 
Step 3: RSSI‐ Ensure last reading is above ‐113 and values are consistent across like frequencies 

 
Step 4: VSWR‐ New technology readings >16 db, legacy technology w/ position move >15 db, legacy technology not 
moved >14 db.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 5: RETs‐ must be enabled and for every frequency in the node, a single RET needs to be defined
