Chapter 1 Introducing
Alarms

Overview
Alarms are events indicating problems or conditions that are worth highlighting.
An alarm can be raised by hardware or by software processes.
Hardware alarms are environmental alarms or alarms that are generated in a board.
These alarms are collected by all the sub-boards and are reported to the main board.
Software alarms are detected by other software blocks in each board and reported
to the fault management module running in the master board.
Alarms are graded into severities and require operator intervention. An alarm is
raised if, for example, a process in the equipment has failed or if the temperature
level around a hardware component has reached a defined threshold level.
Alarms are vital to the troubleshooting and diagnosis of hardware and software
problems.
All Alarms are reported in the LSM graphical user interface and are retained in an
alarm/fault history location for the following rolling periods:
Type of Alarm/Fault Retention Period
Raw data 7 days
Hourly 60 days
Daily 60 days
Monthly 6 months

There are two types of output message:


 Alarm occurred
 Alarm cleared
In the LSM event viewer, the following colors are used to indicate the alarms and
their severity.
 Critical: Red
 Major: Orange
 Minor: Yellow
 Alarm Cleared: Green
Every alarm is uniquely identified by an alarm code and falls into a particular
category with an assigned severity.
Alarms are events indicating problems or conditions that are worth highlighting.
An alarm can be raised by hardware or by software processes. An alarm is raised if,

Chapter 1 Introducing Alarms

for example, a process in the equipment has failed. Another alarm might be raised
if the temperature level around a hardware component has reached a defined
threshold level.

Alarm Codes
An alarm is uniquely identified by an alarm code. The alarm code is an alpha-
numeric string that starts with the letter A, contains a unique 7-digit number and
ends with the letter R. The letter A stands for Alarm, and the letter R identifies that
the alarm is for the RAN (eNB).

A xxyyzzz R
Abbreviation of RAN (eNB)
Alarm number
Abbreviation of Alarm

 A: Abbreviation of Alarm
 xxyyzzz (7-digit number): Allocated to each alarm uniquely.
o xx: NE type.
o yy: Unit type. For unit type values, see Table 1 and Table 2.
o zzz: Alarm type. For alarm type values, see Table 3.
 R: Abbreviation of RAN (eNB)

Unit Types
The following table shows types of units that can raise alarms:

99 SYS Microcell System

Alarm Categories
The category of the alarm denotes the component type that raised the alarm or the
type of service affected by the alarm. Every alarm falls into one of the following
categories and this is clearly stated under each alarm description in this manual.

Table 3. Alarm Categories


Category Meaning
COMMUNICATIONS A communication failure between equipment.
QOS An adverse effect on device performance or quality of service.
PROCESSING Software or processing failure.
EQUIPMENT A device or equipment failure.
ENVIRONMENT An environmental condition (such as excessive temperature or
humidity) causing an adverse effect on equipment.

Alarm Severities
The severity indicates the impact on the system and gives you an idea of how
quickly the alarm should be dealt with. Every alarm that can be raised is assigned
one of the following severities (from lowest to highest) and this is clearly stated
under each alarm description in this manual.

Table 4. Alarm Severities


Severity Meaning
MINOR Indicates errors that do not have an immediate impact on the
system but may do so if left unresolved.
MAJOR Indicates errors pertaining to abnormalities in hardware or
software operation such as circuit or subscriber service errors,
immediate action is required although system operation is not
seriously hindered.
CRITICAL Indicates errors that seriously hinder normal system operation
or greatly affect the system services. Immediate action is
required.

Samsung LTE eNB Alarm Manual for PKG 5.0.0 v1.0 3

Chapter 1 Introducing Alarms

Some alarms can take on different severity levels over a period of time. The
occurrence of such an alarm clears any previously raised lower-severity
occurrences of the alarm. To illustrate this, consider the alarm that is raised when
disk usage reaches predefined thresholds defined by the operator such as Minor
when 85 % full, Major when 90 % full, and Critical when 95 % full. A minor
alarm will be raised when the disk is 85 % full. At 90 %, the severity will change
to major and, at 95 %, it will change to critical.

Auto Alarm Suppression


Some failures may raise several related alarms of different severities. A high
severity alarm demanding immediate attention will automatically cause related
lower severity alarms from being reported until it is cleared. This allows you to
focus your troubleshooting efforts on more immediate issues before being told
about the less important ones.
For example, when a Communication Fail alarm is generated on a channel card or
radio unit (RRH), other alarms that occur on these boards will not be reported.
This is because the Communication Fail alarm is a higher severity alarm. The
collection of the suppressed lower-severity alarms resumes after the
Communication Fail alarm is cleared.

Inhibiting Alarms
If, for any reason, you are not interested in being notified about particular alarms,
you can inhibit them so that they are not displayed in LSM. Inhibited alarms are
not saved to the alarm history location.

To view the inhabit alarms in the LSM:


1 Go to Rack Viewer.
2 Right click on the NE, and then select Alarm Inhibit/Allow from the pop-up
menu.
The list of inhibited alarms displays for the corresponding NE. For information
on inhibiting an alarm, refer to Samsung LSM 5.0 User Manual.

Monitoring Alarms
You can monitor the alarm by the following methods:
 Alarm monitoring using the LSM Event Viewer.
 Alarm monitoring by executing commands on the CLI window of the LSM.
 Alarm Monitoring by LED.

Chapter 1 Introducing Alarms

Dealing with an Alarm


To ensure that your network is running properly at all times, you must deal with
alarms promptly.

To deal with an alarm:


1 Read the alarm information in the LSM and/or look up the alarm in this
manual to identify its cause and remedy. If the alarm is related to another
alarm of higher severity, then identify the cause of this higher severity alarm.
2 Use the information to try to resolve the underlying problem and thus clear the
alarm.
If you are still unable to clear an alarm, report the problem to your local Samsung
Electronics support desk (hereafter referred to as Samsung).

Log Collection Method


If any of the alarms remain active in LSM despite of taking all corrective actions,
you must collect the system log to analyze them thoroughly. The notification and
system logs are stored in the LSM and card. You can retrieve the logs for the date
of alarm declared or cleared from their default paths:
 For LSM:
o /log/msg/noti/
o /log/system/syslog
 For card:
o /var/log/
o /pkg/BufferLogger/
For more detailed log collection method, contact Samsung.

A2100217R UMP CPU TEMPERATURE HIGH


This alarm occurs when the CPU temperature exceeds the threshold.

Basic Information
Severity CRITICAL/MAJOR
Relates to Hardware
Category ENVIRONMENT
Location RACK[a]/SHELF[b]/SLOT[c]-UMP[d]

Possible Cause
The CPU temperature exceeded the threshold.

The threshold value can be retrieved by using the RTRV-BDTEMPALM-THR


COMMAND.

Impact
The board will be damaged. To prevent heat-induced damage to the board, the
eNB performs these functions:
 If a critical severity alarm occurs without a FAN_FAIL alarm, it lowers the
temperature by performing a power reset on the board.
 When the critical severity alarm occurs together with the FAN_FAIL alarm, it
lowers the temperature by powering off the board.

Defaults
The default thresholds for issuing and clearing the alarm based on its severity are:

 Critical alarms: Issuing 105℃ and clearing 100℃

 Major alarms: Issuing 100℃ and clearing 95℃

1 At the site, check if the alarm is still active in the LSM. Additionally, check
the information of target sector and path in which an alarm has occurred.
2 Power off the target RRH sector in which the alarm has occurred. From the
rectifier, switch off the circuit breaker connected to the corresponding RRH.
After turning off the RRH power, check if Communication Fail was found for

Chapter 2 Alarm Reference

the corresponding RRH in LSM. If Communication Fail did not occur on the
corresponding RRH, however, on another RRH, it is interpreted as that a
wrong sample has been selected.
3 Separate the path cable, in which the alarm occurred, from the RRH and check
its condition. Check if the cable and RRH connectors are damaged. If so,
replace the cable or corresponding RRH. If moist or any foreign substances are
found inside the connector that links the cable to the RRH, remove them.

[Water Inflow Inside the Connector] [Impurities Inside the Connector]

4 If the cable state is normal, continue with the Step 5. If site-master equipment
or a terminator is not prepared, continue with the Step 7.
5 Use site master equipment to measure VSWR of the antenna and jumper cable.

If VSWR value measured by the site master is 1.5:1 or more, an appropriate


measure needs to be taken such as replacement of the antenna and jumper
cable.
6 Connect a terminator to the RRH antenna port and check VSWR value in LSM.

Samsung LTE eNB Alarm Manual for PKG 5.0.0 v1.0 157

Chapter 2 Alarm Reference

[Terminator] [Connecting a terminator to RRH]

If VSWR value is 1.5:1 or more, RRH needs to be replaced. If VSWR is less


than 1.5:1, power off the RRH and remove the terminator.
7 Connect the antenna cable to the RRH and turn on RRH from the rectifier.
Check if the alarm is cleared in LSM. When the alarm is cleared, record action
history and leave the site.
8 If the alarm is not cleared even after checking the normal state of the antenna
cable and cable connection state, power off the RRH again.
9 Replace the antenna cable with one from another path where no alarm has
occurred and power on the RRH to see if the alarm is still activated.
10 If the alarm is cleared after the action taken in Step 9, it can be interpreted that
the failure was caused by a defective cable, a connection issue or an antenna
issue. Therefore, take the corrective measures in an order of reassembly of the
antenna-side cable; replacement of the cable; and replacement of the antenna.
11 If the alarm remains, replace the corresponding RRH.

Chapter 2 Alarm Reference

For lightning traces, look for burnt marks of the GPS arrestor or surrounding
cables.
o If any traces of lightning are found, replace UMP and GPS antenna
installation materials.
o If traces of lightning are NOT found, continue with the Step 2.
2 Separate the cable from the GPS port, and measure the voltage of the GPS port
connector.

Measure the voltage by touching (+) end of a Digital Voltage Meter (DVM) to the
core wire and (-) end to the outside of the connector.
o If the measurement is between 4.5 to 5.5 V, continue with the Step 4.
o If the measurement is not within this range, replace the UMP.
3 Check and replace the GPS installation materials and check if the alarm is
cleared.
a If the errors/failures have been recovered after checking the cable
connection state and replacing the materials, terminate the inspection
procedure. If not, continue with the following steps.
b Check the divider connection state and replace the parts. If the
errors/failures have been recovered, terminate the inspection procedure. If
not, continue with the following step.
c Check the GPS antenna connection state and replace the parts if needed.
When the errors/failures are recovered, terminate the inspection process.
4 After changing the UMP, check if the errors/failures are repaired.
o If the alarm does not activate, it is decided that the part is defective, and
therefore leave the site.
o If the alarm does not clear, go back to the Step 1 and repeat the process.

If the GPS antenna and installation materials are found to be defective, the UMP is
not defective. Therefore, RMA will not be processed.

For lightning traces, look for burnt marks of the GPS arrestor or surrounding
cables.
o If any traces of lightning are found, replace the SmallCell and GPS
antenna installation materials.
o If traces of lightning are not found, continue with the Step 2.
2 Separate the cable from the GPS port, and measure the voltage of the GPS port
connector.

Measure the voltage by touching (+) end of a Digital Voltage Meter (DVM) to the
core wire and (-) end to the outside of the connector.
o If the measurement is between 4.5 to 5.5 V, continue with the Step 3.
o If the measurement is not within this range, replace the SmallCell.
3 Check and replace the GPS installation materials and check if the alarm is
cleared.
a If the errors/failures have been recovered after checking the cable
connection state and replacing the materials, terminate the inspection
procedure. If not, continue with the following steps.
b Check the divider connection state and replace the parts. If the
errors/failures have been recovered, terminate the inspection procedure. If
not, continue with the following step.
c Check the GPS antenna connection state and replace the parts if needed.
When the errors/failures are recovered, terminate the inspection process.
4 After changing the SmallCell, check if the errors or failures are repaired.
o If the alarm does not activate, it is decided that the part is defective, and
therefore leave the site.
o If the alarm does not clear, go back to the Step 1 and repeat the process.

If the GPS antenna and installation materials are found to be defective, the
SmallCell is not defective. Therefore, RMA will not be processed.

b If the NTP Sync server IP address and the command results are different,
run the CHG-NTP-CONF command to reconfigure the address.
c Check in a few minutes to see if the alarm has been cleared.
2 If the alarm has not been cleared, login to the NE and carry out a NTP Util test
to check if NTP communication is occurring with the EMS. If the util is not
properly executing, check whether the ntpdate util for the EMS (or the clock
sync server) NTP server and System SW is working correctly.
Use the ntpdate util to check if ntp clock sync is possible.
o ntpdate2 -<ipversion> -i <bindIp> <serverIp> In Case of Failure
o ntpdate -<ipversion> <serverIp>
o Ex> ntpdate2 -4 -i 10.1.1.11 10.1.1.10
If the ntpdate command execution fails, check whether the ntpdate util for the
EMS (or the clock sync server) NTP server and NE is working correctly. Then
repeat the Step 2.
3 If ntpdate executed successfully but the alarm was not cleared, check the alarm
status again after restarting the SWM and FM block.
a Restart the block by running INIT-SW: SWM and INIT-SW: FM.
b Check whether the alarm remains after clearance.
4 If the alarm remains, collect the SW log and share with Samsung for
consulting the next level of maintenance support.
