WARNING
Radio-frequency signals with high intensity are harmful to the human body.
Before installing or maintaining an antenna in a steel tower or a mast with a large number of
transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with the parties concerned to shut down the
transmitter antennas.
2.5.1 Introduction
The BTS emits RF radiation (radiation hazard). Operators have to follow the related local
regulations when erecting the BTS.
Operators of BTSs must also follow the related local regulations when erecting the BTS.
There are a number of international regulations, standards and guidelines for exposure to
electromagnetic fields. Several European countries have adopted the recommendation of the
council of the European Union. It was released on July 12, 1999, focusing on the harmful effects
of exposure to electromagentic fields. The recommendation is based on the guideline published
by the ICNIRP.
Table 2-2 gives a comparison among regulations and reference levels applied in different
countries.
Reference levels are provided for exposure assessment, that is to determine whether the basic
limit of restriction on exposure of humans to electromagnetic fields is exceeded. The basic
restriction on exposure to electromagnetic fields is based on established health effects and
biological considerations.
Generally, the height of the antenna position does not fall below 10 m. The power usually forms
a horizontal main beam and is slightly tilted downward. The remaining power forms into the
weaker beams on both sides of the main beam. The main beam, however, does not reach ground
level until the distance from the antenna position is around 50200 m.
The highest level of emission would be expected in close vicinity of the antenna and in line of
sight to the antenna.
A rough estimation of the expected exposure in power flux density on a given point can be made
with the following equation:
Gnumeric = 10GdB/10
B = attenuation in dB
2.5.8 Laser
The laser hazard level of this device is Class 1.
WARNING
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look at the optical fiber outlet directly
with unaided eyes.
Laser of wavelengths used in telecommunications can cause thermal damage to the retina.
Lasers used in lightwave systems have a larger beam divergence, typically 10 to 20 degrees.
Viewing an un-terminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances greater than
150 mm (6 inches) will normally not cause eye injury. However, damage may occur if an optical
tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to view the energized fiber end.
In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye
injury. Additional safety is achieved by an automatic laser shut-down (ALS) of the system. The
ALS, however, can be applied for bi-directional transmission only. If the receiver side does not
detect the laser from the transmission side, it will give the transmission side a signal. Upon
receiving the signal, the ALS will shut down the laser emission within 100 ms.
l Read the instructions before installing, operating and maintaining the device. Ignoring the
instructions can cause exposure to dangerous laser radiation.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
l All the operation shall be performed by personnel who have completed the approved
training courses.
l Make sure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
connectors.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, make sure that you are
not exposed to laser radiation.
l Do not look at the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure
whether the optical source is switched off or not.
l Use an optical power meter to check and ensure that the optical source is switched off by
measuring the optical power.
l Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass or an eye loupe to view
the optical connector or fiber.
Handling Fibers
Read the instructions before handling fibers.
l Cutting and splicing fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only.
l Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure the fiber is disconnected from the optical source.
After disconnecting the fiber, use protecting caps to protect all the optical connectors.
WARNING
When working at heights, be careful to prevent objects from falling.
WARNING
Do not access the areas under the jib arm and the goods in suspension when lifting weight.
l Ensure the operators have completed the related training and are qualified.
l Check the weight lifting tools and confirm that the tools are in good condition.
l Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly fixed onto the weight-bearing
object or the wall.
l Use a concise command to avoid incorrect operation.
l Ensure the angle between the two cables is less than or equal to 90 degrees during the lift.
(see Figure 2-2).
take protective measures on the base part of the ladder to avoid skidding. Place the ladder on
stable ground.
l Ensure the gravity center of your body does not deviate from the ladder edge.
l To lessen the danger and ensure the safety, hold your balance on the ladder before any
operation.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth highest step of the ladder.
l If you are about to climb to the top, the length of the ladder shall be one meter higher than
the eave.
Drilling
WARNING
Drilling on the rack without permission is strictly prohibited. Drilling that does not satisfy the
requirements concerned may damage the wires and cables inside the rack. If the metal shavings
from the drilling fall into the rack, it may result in short circuit of the circuit boards.
l Before drilling a hole on the rack, wear insulation gloves, and remove the cables inside the
rack.
l During the drilling, ensure that your eyes are well protected. The hot shavings may injure
your eyes.
l Ensure that the metal shavings do not fall into the rack.
l Non-standard drilling may damage the electromagnetic shielding performance of the rack.
l After drilling, clean the metal shavings in time.
Sharp Objects
WARNING
When carrying the device by hand, wear protection gloves to avoid injury by sharp objects.
Handling Fans
Ensure the following:
l When replacing a component, place the component, screw, and tool at a safe place to prevent
them from falling into the running fan.
l When replacing the ambient equipment around the fan, do not place the finger or board
into the running fan until the fan is switched off and stops running.
WARNING
When lifting heavy objects, do not stand or walk under the arm or the lifted object.
2.8 Miscellaneous
CAUTION
When inserting a board, handle it gently to avoid distorting pins on the backplane.
CAUTION
l Bundle the signal cables separately from the strong current cables or high voltage cables.
l Maintain a minimum space of 150 mm between adjacent ties.
Cabling Requirements
At a very low temperature, movement of the cable may damage the plastic skin of the cable. To
ensure the construction safety, comply with the following requirements:
l When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above 0C.
l If cables are stored in the place below 0C, move the cables into a place at a room
temperature and store the cables for more than 24 hours before installation.
l Move the cables with care, especially at a low temperature. Do not drop the cables directly
from the vehicle.

The method for distinguishing the E1/T1 RX end from the E1/T1 TX end is as follows:
Connect a pin of an LED to the wire of the E1 cable, and the other pin to the shielding jacket of
the E1 cable. If the LED is on, that end is a TX end. Otherwise, that end is an RX end.
Procedure
Step 1 On the NodeB side, ensure that the E1/T1 connectors are in good contact with the Digital
Distribution Frame (DDF). Ensure sound jointing, because poor jointing may cause poor E1/T1
connection.
Step 2 Ensure that the physical connections of the E1/T1 cables are correct.
Step 3 On the NodeB side, check whether the actual number of the E1/T1 link on the DDF is consistent
with the transmission data negotiated between the NodeB and the RNC. If no, modify the data
configuration.
Step 4 On the NodeB side, run the command DSP E1T1 to query the status of the E1/T1 link.

l Communication failure in IP transport network
l Inconsistent negotiated configuration data at both sides
Handling Suggestions
1. Check whether pinging the signaling address of the RNC is available on the NodeB LMT.
If pinging the signaling address of the RNC fails, ping the IP address of the network that
connects the PIE board, and check whether the internal route of the RNC and the route of
the NodeB are correctly set.
2. If the fault persists not due to faulty route, check the transmission status.
l When the FE ports are applied to the networking on the NodeB, check the cable
connection and the FE port status. For details, refer to 14.7 FE Port in DOWN State.
l When the E1/T1 cables are applied to the networking on the NodeB, alarms are reported.
Then, check the transmission status. For details, refer to the related online help for
corresponding alarms.
3. If ping the signaling address of the RNC succeeds, check whether the SCTP port number
of the NodeB and that of the RNC are consistent, and whether the IP addresses configured
on both sides are in the same network segment.
4. If an NCP fault occurs after the NodeB is started, check whether there is an alarm related
to the data configuration file. If there is an alarm related to the data configuration file,
download a valid data configuration file to the NodeB, reset the NodeB, and then configure
the file correctly.
Fault Symptom
When the logical cell and all the upper-layer links are available,
l If you run the command DSP E1T1 on the RNC side, the E1/T1 link is available. If you
run this command on the NodeB side, the E1/T1 link is Abnormal.
l In a loopback, if you use the command DSP E1T1 on the NodeB side, the E1 link changes
to link in loop. When the E1 link is changed to No Loop, it changes to Normal
for a moment, and then changes back to Abnormal.
Analysis
The fault may occur due to the following causes:
l Incorrect ATM traffic configuration
l Faulty physical connection of cables
l Incorrect setting of the E1/T1 mode
Handling Suggestions
1. Check the transmission channels to ensure that all the transmission channels are available.
2. Check the physical connection of the cables to ensure that the connection is sound and all
the links are available.
3. Check the E1/T1 mode. When the E1/T1 cable is set to the double-frame mode on the
NodeB side and multi-mode on the RNC side, the E1/T1 link is still available on the RNC
side, but the E1/T1 link on the NodeB side is displayed as Abnormal.
Summary of Suggestions
Though the default setting is multi-mode, the setting of the E1/T1 mode should be checked when
the fault occurs.
Fault Symptom
A cell cannot be set up. The cell is removed after setup through the Iub interface tracing. The
RNC reports that a common channel fails to be established, but the message is not found on the
Iub interface.
Analysis
The fault may occur due to insufficient configured bandwidth.
Handling Suggestions
1. Deactivate and then activate the cell on the RNC side to check whether the cell is restored.
2. If the cell is not restored, check whether the bandwidth for the IP path on the RNC side is
sufficient. Set the bandwidth of the IP path on the RNC side to 100 Mbit/s and set the
bandwidth type to RT. This ensures successful setup of the common channel. If the fault
is caused by improper settings of the bandwidth, set the bandwidth to the default value. For
example, set the bandwidth of an E1 link to 1.92 Mbit/s.
3. If the fault persists after the IP path bandwidth is modified, keep tracing the results on the
RNC side to find the causes to the fault.
Fault Symptom
After a cell is set up, the common channel is removed. The result on the RNC side shows that
the common channel fails to be synchronized.
Analysis
The cause may be that the data links are faulty or heavy packet loss exists.
Handling Suggestions
1. Ensure that a route is added to the address of the RNC data link plane configured on the
NodeB side. If no, add the route. If the route for the equipment of the network is incorrect,
modify the route configuration.
2. If the fault persists, check the request and response for establishing common channel on
the Iub interface, and then check whether the IP address is correct.
l If the IP address requested by the RNC is incorrect, modify the IP address of the IP path
on the RNC side.
l If the IP address replied by the NodeB is incorrect, modify the IP address of the IP path
on the NodeB side and reset the NodeB.
Fault Symptom
When the network is connected through FE ports, the cells are successfully set up. The following
cases, however, may occur:
l Common channels are removed after a call is initiated. This causes communication failure.
l The common channel is periodically removed. This causes the disruption of activated
services.
Analysis
The cause may be the quality of the user plane channel.
Handling Suggestions
1. Check the route configurations. Ensure that pinging the IP address is available.
2. If the common channel is successfully established, the IP path is operational.
3. Check the configuration and the status of the FE ports. Insufficient bandwidth may cause
the congestion, which causes in low packet transmission rate or packet loss and even
removal of the common channel.
Solutions
Modify the LR configurations and set the bandwidth of the port to the bandwidth of the physical
port.
Fault Symptom
The HSDPA service at 1920 kbit/s fails to be activated, but the R99 service at 64 kbit/s can be
successfully activated.
Analysis
The fault may occur due to the following causes:
l The cell is not configured with the HSDPA function or the HSDPA is not activated.
l The RNC is not configured with the IP path of the HSDPA-NRT.
l If the maximum rate of the USIM card registered in the HLR is set to 384 kbit/s or smaller,
the HSDPA service may not be activated. Only the service at 384 kbis/s can be activated.
Handling Suggestions
1. Check whether the HSDPA service is configured on the RNC side and if the HSDPA cell
is activated. If not, configure the HSDPA service on the RNC side and activate the HSDPA
cell.
2. Check whether the HSDPA-NRT IP path is configured on the RNC side. Ensure that the
bandwidth of the IP path is sufficient enough. Otherwise, the IP path may be unavailable.
After the configuration, re-activate the cell.
3. If the cell cannot be re-activated, trace the signaling over the Uu interface and search out
the cause of the fault.
Solutions
Modify the configurations of the HSDPA services on the RNC side and on the NodeB side.
Modify the configuration of the HSDPA IP path.
Fault Symptom
The system reports the abnormal communication alarm of the RET/STMA.
Possible Causes
The fault may occur due to the following causes: The ALD link is disconnected.
Handling Suggestions
l Reset boards or modules.
Macro NodeB: reset the MTRU or NMON board.
Distributed NodeB: reset the BBU.
l Run the command RST ALD to reset the ALD.
NOTE
You are advised to run the command RST ALD, which does not disrupt any services.
