RBS Alarms
RBS Alarms
Do the Cells need to be unlocked before checking for RBS alarms ? Only faulty radio and transmission alarms will show (coz these are hardware faults TRX, TX, RX) in both locked and unlocked states. You can confirm this by using the RBS decoder program/software to understand the fault codes. This can also be found on Alex. When site is unlocked, you can also see software, transmission, and VSWR faults on top of hardware faults. You will have a fault code on the CF (ex. 0040 means TX to DXU is down or power fault on site). If its a transmission fault you will have alarms on the TF (synchronization alarm). VSWR alarms are measurement ratio. The impact of unlocking a site with VSWR alarms is of course dropped calls not only for this site but also for neighboring sites (handover). Field engrs need to do a sweep test to know why this site has VSWR.
