If the BTS3606E/3606AE connects to the faulty ODU through another ODU, clear the fault in
the BTS3606E/3606AE and the upper-level ODU.
Step 2 Clear the fault in power supply or transmission system.
If you find the BTS power supply failure or transmission interruption in the alarm
management system, perform the following steps:
1. Ask the power supply or transmission maintenance personnel to solve the problem.
2. Refer to the template in 2.5 "Emergency Maintenance Record" to record the symptom,
handling procedure, and result.
If the ODU has a backup power supply system, but the ODU service is interrupted when the
power supply is powered off, check the backup power supply system for errors.
Step 3 Clear the fault caused by the O&M operation.
The ODU service is interrupted after the maintenance personnel perform a certain operation,
which may causes the service interruption. In this case, perform the following steps:
1. Check the maintenance operation conducted recently.
2. Find out the operation that causes the fault.
3. Cancel the operation or restore the original state.
Execute the command LST LOG to query the command log and obtain the recently executed
MML commands.
CAUTION
If you perform ODU -specific operations, such as the modification of ODU-specific data, at

3 Troubleshooting
Section Describes
Start
Set up cells
End
You can observe the running status of the CBIM and BCKM from the equipment panel.
If the OML is interrupted when the BTS is running, the BTS does no reset and attempts to set
up the OML again. If the OML is not set up after five minute, the BTS will reset and attempts
to set up OML.
For the troubleshooting of the OML interruption, refer to 3.8.3 "OML Disconnected."
Step 3 Search for the satellite.
After the BCKM is initialized, the BCKM searches for the satellite and provides the BTS with
reliable clock signal.
If the BCKM fails in searching for the satellite, the ACT indicator of the BCKM flashes at
0.25 Hz and the BCKM resets repeatedly. If the backup BCKM is configured, it works after
the switchover.
For the troubleshooting of the satellite searching failure, refer to 3.7.2 "Satellite Antenna
Fault."
Step 4 Load and activate the data configuration file.
The BTS loads the data configuration file from the BAM and activates the data configuration
file.
The BTS automatically loads the board software when:
The software version of the board is inconsistent with that of the BAM.
And the auto-load switch is ON.
The BTS loads the data configuration file from the Flash when:
The OML cannot be set up.
And the data configuration file is saved in the Flash of the BCKM.
When the BTS loads the data configuration file:
At the near-end, the RUN indicator flashes at 4 Hz. After the data configuration file is
loaded, the boards reset and the ACT indicator is ON.
At the far-end, you can observe the running status of each board from the equipment
panel.
Step 5 Set up the traffic link.
After the BTS obtains a reliable clock resource, the CCPM sets up the traffic link through the
BCIM based on the configuration parameter in the OMU. In this way, the traffic link between
the BTS and the BSC is set up.
Step 6 Set up the signaling link.
Based on the configuration parameters of the OMU, the BCKM sets up the signaling link
through the BCIM. In this way, the signaling link between the BTS and the BSC is set up.
If the signaling link is interrupted during the BTS running, the BSC generates an alarm of
"Abis signaling link interrupted." After 10 minutes, the BTS resets.
For the troubleshooting of signaling link interruption, refer to 3.8.4 "Abis Signaling Link
Disconnected."
Step 7 Set up cells.
After the signaling link is set up, the baseband board reports the hardware configuration of the
BTS to the BSC and asks for the BSC to deliver commands.
After the BSC sends the cell configuration data to the baseband boards, the BTS implements
the following operations:
Configuring the carrier attribute
Setting up the common channel
Updating the overall messages
If the following conditions are met, the BTS is operational:
The RUN indicator flashes at 1 Hz.
The ACT indicator is ON.
The ALM indicator is OFF.
The cell is set up.
The resource of the cell is available.
The OMC shows the report of the updated overall message.
When you make a test call, the voice and data services are available.
For the troubleshooting of BTS startup failure, refer to 3.5 "BTS Startup Faults."

layers
Solve the IMA/UNI fault.
When you locate the E1/T1 fault, neglect the IMA/UNI status.
Loopback E1/T1 Loop back the transmission link section by section to locate the
fault. Observe if the alarm is cleared.
If the alarm is cleared, the link is normal.
If the alarm persists, the link is faulty.
Repeat this procedure for each physical link to locate the fault
accurately.
LOS E1/T1 LOS The receive link is faulty. No signal is on the receive
link.
Take the BSC as an example. In normal cases, the
cable marked with RX or the connector between the
BSC and the transmission equipment is disconnected.
LFA E1/T1 The receive link is faulty. The signal quality is poor.
Frame-out-of-sync Take the BSC as an example. The possible causes are
that:
The cable marked with RX or the connector
between the BSC and the transmission equipment is
not in good contact.
Or the BER exceeds 10 3.
LIF IMA Link Out of The frames of IMA link are not synchronized.
Frame The possible causes are that:
A link is connected wrongly.
The BER of a link is too large.
LODS Inter-IMA link Out of The possible causes are that:

IMA links To solve the problem, clear the fault on the far-end
link.
When the link set is transferred to another BTS, all the IMA links generate alarms.
To remove the fault, execute the command RST IMAGRP to set the new parameters for
the IMA link set.
Crossed pair connection exists.
If the crossed pair connection exists, no E1/T1 alarm or IMA/UNI alarm is generated.
Thus, ensure that the cable connections are correct.

If the lightning arrester is connected inversely, correct the connections. For details, refer
to the Airbridge BTS3606E&BTS3606AE CDMA Base Station Installation Manual
Antenna&Feeder Installation.
If the lightning arrester is faulty, replace it.
Step 3 Check the output voltage of the satellite receiver by performing the following steps:
1. Remove the jumper from the ANT port on the BCKM.
2. Use a mulimeter to measure the voltage output from the GPS satellite receiver to the
GPS antenna.
In normal cases, the output voltage at the ANT port is larger than 4.8 V.
Step 4 Check the connection cables of the GPS antenna by performing the following operations:
Check the insulation.
Disconnect jumpers from the GPS antenna and the cabinet.
Use a multimeter to measure the insulation resistance between shielding layers of
jumpers and core layers.
In normal cases, the resistance is several mega-ohms. If the resistance is very small or
the jumper is short-circuited, measure the resistance of the feeder section by section
to locate the short-circuited part.
Check whether the conductor of the feeder is broken.
Disconnect jumpers from the GPS antenna and the cabinet.
Connect the shielding layer and the core layer at one end of the jumper.
Measure the resistance between the shielding layer and the core layer at the other end
of the jumper.
In normal cases, the resistance is very small. If the resistance is infinite, suspect that the
conductor is broken. In this case, measure the resistance of the jumper section by section
to locate the disconnected part.
Check the short cable between the GPS receiver and the BCKM panel.
If the cable is twisted for a long time, it may be damaged. In turn, the GPS signal cannot
be received.
Replace this cable with a 10 MHz or a 2 S output cable to check whether the failure of
the GPS signal reception is caused by the damaged cable.

Step 3 Check the DDF grounding and the E1/T1 shielding layer grounding on the DDF.
In normal cases, the digital distribution frame (DDF) shares the ground with the nearby
equipment. That is, the BTS shares the ground with the DDF of the BTS.
The shielding layer of the E1/T1 does not connect to the DDF. That is, an insulation washer is
installed between the E1/T1 metal connector and the DDF.
If the E1/T1 metal connector connects to the DDF at the BTS side, the E1/T1 shielding layer
at the BTS side is grounded regardless of the settings of the DIP switches on the BCIM.
If the environment of the equipment room allows the transmission equipment to share the
same ground with the BTS, do not check this item.
Step 4 Loop back the transmission link section by section and measure the transmission BER to
locate the fault.
Refer to 5.3.7 "Checking the Quality of Abis Transmission Link" to locate the part of the
transmission link with poor transmission quality. Poor transmission quality may be caused by
the faults in the ground connections or the connectors.

If the transmission equipment room does not share the ground with the BTS equipment room,
the electric potential difference may exist between the two equipment rooms.
If the E1/T1 shielding layer is grounded in the transmission equipment room and the BTS
equipment room, the shielding layer and the ground form a loop. Thus, interference is
introduced. Therefore, ground only one end of the E1/T1 shielding layer, that is, the
transmitting end or the receiving end.
When you ground the E1/T1 cables that connect to the transmission equipment, check the
grounding of E1/T1 on the DDF. If the transmission equipment is not required to be grounded,
do not ground the E1/T1 on the DDF at the transmission equipment side.

Cannot exceed one and a half times of the actual physical bandwidth
When the total logical bandwidth is less than one and a half times of the actual
physical bandwidth, adjust the bandwidth.
For timeslot-based transmission mode, the calculation of the total bandwidth does not
follow the previous principle. When the signaling load or the operation and maintenance
load is light, the bandwidth of the signaling link and OML is minimal. Allocate all
bandwidth to the traffic link.
Step 2 Adjust the network parameters.

4 Parts Replacement
Section Describes
4.2 Precautions
This section describes the precautions that you must take in parts replacement.
If you cannot locate the fault, replace one part. If the fault persists, however, replace
another part. After you perform the previous operations, reinstall the part that is first
replaced if the fault is cleared.
In this way, you can locate which part is faulty.
Cover the optical ports of the removed boards or modules with dust-proof caps.
After the parts replacement, verify the functions of the new parts and the system to
ensure a successful replacement.
Dispose of the replaced parts properly.
Ensure that the wrist strap is functioning. Its resistance value must be within 0.75
megaohm to 10 megaohm. If the validity period (usually two years) of a wrist strap
expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, use a functioning wrist strap.
Do not touch the boards with your clothing, because the clothing generates static
electricity beyond the protection scope of the wrist strap.
CAUTION
Avoid interruption of the BTS services owing to a low ambient temperature.
Before you open the cabinet door, take measures to keep the ambient temperature above 5C
(+23F).
a b c
Step 5 Ensure that the settings of the jumpers and the DIP switches of the new board are the same as
those of the one removed.
Step 6 Put the removed board into an antistatic packing box and avoid touching the printed circuit
board (PCB).
----End
Step 1 Wear an antistatic wrist strap and insert the grounding plug into the antistatic jack on the
cabinet.
Step 2 Ensure that the pins on the backplane are intact.
If the pins are tilted, use a pair of nipper pliers to straighten the pins.
If the pins are missing or broken, replace the backplane.
