ALM-26234 BBU CPRI Interface Error

Network Element: BTS3900, BTS3900 WCDMA, BTS3900 LTE, BTS5900, BTS5900 WCDMA,
BTS5900 LTE

Alarm Description

This alarm is reported when the link between the BBU and the lower-level RF units or CXUs
malfunctions. This alarm is cleared when the link can function properly and remains
functional for a period of time (90s by default). The alarm filtering parameters can be set by
running the SET ALMFILTER command.

Impact on System
Alarm Severity Alarm Impact

Major In chain topology, the link for the lower-level RF units or CXUs is
disconnected and the services carried on the lower-level RF units are
interrupted. In CPRI MUX, the services of the peer mode are interrupted
when the local mode is a converging party and the faulty port provides
the convergence function.

In ring topology, the reliability of the links for the RF units decreases. In
this case, the standby link becomes the activated link for the lower-level
RF units, and the services are switched over to the standby link. If a hot
ring is used, the ongoing services are not affected. If a cold ring is used,
the ongoing services are interrupted temporarily.

In load sharing networks, all services over are switched to available links.
If the available transmission bandwidth of CPRI ports is less than the
bandwidth required by the services, the service specifications decrease.

In the trunk chain topology, all services are switched to available links. If
the available transmission bandwidth of CPRI ports is less than the
bandwidth required by the services, the service specifications decrease.

System Actions

In ring topology, the lower-level RF units automatically switch to the normal link.

Possible Causes

Cause Category Possible Causes

Data
 Data configuration is incorrect if a multimode base station
configuration
reports the alarm. As a result, the timing loop fails.

 The user has run a command that blocks the CPRI port.
Cause Category Possible Causes

 In a dual-mode network using the CPRI MUX feature, data from

the local end was converged to two baseband processing boards at
the peer end.

Software None

Hardware
 If the optical transmission is used, the optical module on the
port of the BBU connecting to the lower-level RF units or CXUs is
faulty.

 If the optical transmission is used, the interface board in the

BBU connecting to the lower-level RF units or CXUs is faulty.

 If the optical transmission is used, the optical module of the

lower-level RF unit or CXU connected to the BBU is faulty.

 If the optical transmission is used, the lower-level RF unit or

CXU connected to the BBU is faulty.

 If the electrical transmission is used, the cable between the

lower-level RF unit or CXU and BBU is faulty.

 In multimode configuration, the optical module on the BBU

interconnection port or the BBU interconnection cable is faulty.

Miscellaneous
 If the optical transmission is used, the optical module or
connector on the port of the BBU connecting to the lower-level RF
units or CXUs is not securely installed.

 If the optical transmission is used, the connector or the optical

module on the port of the lower-level RF unit or CXU connected to
the BBU is not securely installed.

 If the optical transmission is used, the fiber optic cable

between the lower-level RF unit or CXU and BBU is faulty.

 If the electrical transmission is used, the CPRI electrical cable

between the lower-level RF unit or CXU and BBU is not securely
installed.
