Maintenance Overview
This chapter introduces common maintenance types,

maintenance principles and analysis methods and provides
precautions for routine maintenance.
Maintenance Description
Maintenance Requirements
Maintenance personnel must receive systematic training to be
qualified in system maintenance, master fundamentals of ZXWR
B09, and know overall structure and functions of each board, in
addition to some knowledge about network optimization and
network maintenance.
Maintenance Principles
This section introduces what maintenance personnel must pay
attention to in ZXWR B09 maintenance. Any operation against
following principles may have a negative impact on system
operation.
Right Management
Assign personnel-specific usernames and passwords for system
login, operation and maintenance, to restrict operation rights of
maintenance individuals and find operation history through
system logs in case of system malfunction.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 1

ZXSDR Node B Troubleshooting
Different users are able to perform different groups of

operations, depending on their levels and rights. Operation and
maintenance software classifies operators into four levels, root
user, advanced user, medium-level user, and ordinary user in
descending order of rights.
1. Root user, with highest level of right, can perform any
operations, including creating users, modifying user
information, deleting users, setting rights and modifying
system configuration. Change initial password of root user
immediately after logging in to the system, for security of
the system
2. Advanced user has the same rights as a root user, except
that it cannot manage user accounts, add/delete boards and
add/delete local cells.
3. Medium-level user, with basic viewing right, can view alarm
and system information. In addition, a medium-level user
can only perform limited types of configuration operations.
4. Ordinary user, with lowest right, can only view information
rather than perform any configuration operation.
Caution
 Use right management function to set ordinary equipment
maintenance personnel as medium-level users.
 Do not log into the system as root user unless absolutely
necessary.
 Do not change network settings of NMS server and Client.
 Do not run and operate any other programs not related to
operation and maintenance on NMS server or Client.
 Follow general principles of network management to guard
against any virus.
Data Observation
Caution
 Perform data observation operations carefully with large
quantities of data to report, including signaling tracing,
running information observation, all users of service
observation, and alarm refreshing. Excessive data report
during data observation may cause system breakdown in
extreme cases.
Caution
 Select appropriate time (low traffic period) for data
observation operation, take appropriate measures, save
results in time and clean temporary data in time.

Chapter 1 Maintenance Overview
Data Modification
Caution
 Take care in modifying data, particularly wireless data.
 Observe carefully whether there is any effect on system
operation after modifying data.
Caution
 Be sure to perform backup before modifying any data, to
ensure rapid restoration when any problem occurs.
 Do not perform data synchronization at rush hours (at 10 AM
or 5 PM, Time varies from place to place).
 Do not modify foreground database during daytime.
Data Synchronization
Caution
 Be sure to backup data before modifying configuration.
Caution
 Do not perform data synchronization in daytime unless
necessary.
 Check operation log to identify the source if finding any data
of an unknown source.
Man-machine Commands
Caution
 Be careful in using commands that lead to foreground
actions, including restart, reset, changeover, save, hardware
test, software download and cell block/unblock.
 Do not delete current alarms and history alarms unless
absolutely necessary.
 Be sure to lock background man-machine interface after
maintenance personnel leave operation and maintenance
console, to avoid any accidents.

Board Operations
Caution
 Do not reset a board, plug/unplug it or power it off unless
absolutely necessary.
 Prepare spare board before replacing a board. Make sure
there are sufficient technicians present for unexpected
emergencies in the case of major operations, such as
changing versions of important boards, or plugging,
unplugging and replacing key boards. Maintenance personnel
working on boards in the foreground must have support from
background personnel.
Caution:
 Always wear an antistatic wrist strap before operating boards
on the rack and connect it to the rack before touching a
board.
 Touch a metal object first to release static electricity on
hands.
 Reduce power gradually (to change users in conversation or
in network access and to prevent users off-conversation from
accessing) when replacing LPA (Linear Power Amplifier).
Update
Caution
 Perform upgrade at midnight when there is low traffic.
 Keep contact information available for relevant personnel
(like transmission and power supply) to get their timely
assistance when required.
 Formulate upgrade plan in advance, covering all emergency
measures.
 Do not change procedures set forth in the plan, unless
necessary.
 Inform supervisors before upgrading for necessary technical
support.
 Assign a person to closely monitor the system for any faults
occurring since the upgrade.

Maintenance Classification
Maintenance falls into routine maintenance, notification message
handling, alarm message handling and troubleshooting, by
contents.
1. Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance refers to checking equipment running
status periodically. It is to find out and handle problems in
time to prevent potential damage or fault.
2. Notification message handling
Notification message handling is to analyze all kinds of
notifications during running of the system, to judge whether
anything is abnormal and to take appropriate measures.
3. Alarm message handling
Alarm message handling is to analyze different alarm
messages during running of the equipment, to judge
equipment running condition and to take appropriate
measures.
4. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is to analyze, handle and remove detected
faults.
Analysis Methods
Common maintenance analysis methods:
 Analysis of indicator status
 Analysis of signalling tracing
 Analysis of alarm logs
 Analysis through instruments and meters
 Comparison by replacement
 Others
Indicator Status Analysis

Analyze running of a board by statuses of its indicators.
Boards need frequent observation, for the ZXWR B09, are:
control clock switching board CCS, Iub-ATM interface board IIA,
baseband processing board BP and transceiver unit TRXU.

Signaling Tracing Analysis

Signaling tracing analysis is to check whether signaling flow is
correct. All services have their own signaling flows. It is
acceptable to diagnose system problems according to experience
by viewing differences between current flow and correct flow,
when a service is abnormal.
Important workflow, for the ZXWR B09, includes: cell setup,
common transmission channel setup, paging, random access,
system information update and wireless link setup.
Alarm Logs Analysis

Alarm log analysis is to query history alarms and current alarms
of the system at NM interface, and to analyze and determine
running status of the equipment. Instruments and Meters
Analysis
Commonly-used instruments and meters in routine maintenance
include signaling meters, line testers and power meters.
Signaling Meter Analysis
Signaling meter is to monitor signaling interaction between Node

B and RNC in real time. Figure 1 shows the connection mode of
signaling meter with the equipment.

Laptop computer
RNC and Node B setup several AAL5 links to bear ALCAP,

common NBAP, dedicated NBAP and IPoA after powering on the
equipment. It is acceptable to query VPI and VCI corresponding
to each AAL5 link from OMC background man-machine interface.
It is also acceptable to monitor signaling of corresponding AAL5
link after configuring appropriate VPI and VCI on signaling
meter.
Set up appropriate VPI, VCI and CID on signaling meter, when
AAL2 bears common transport channels (FACH, PCH, and RACH)
and DCH and observes AAL2 signaling. Similarly, it is acceptable
to query its signaling from WOMCR background man-machine
interface. Signaling meter can resolve RRC message of Uu
interface and non-access layer messages.
Signaling meter analysis allows monitoring signaling flows
between Node B, RNC and UE in real time and saving results.
Line Tester Measurement
Line tester supports:

1. To measure information of common channels.
2. To measure related items in coverage area, such as
locations, signal strength and signal quality.
3. To measure energy of each synchronization code in each
timeslot on synchronization channel.

4. To measure channel power.

5. To measure scramble of the cell.
Power Meter Measurement
Power meter is to measure output power of TRXU and LPA and

to judge whether TRXU and LPA are working normally.
Replacement Analysis
Replace a board module or possibly a faulty connection cable
with a normal board module or connection cable of same type,
and observe whether the fault is recovered after the
replacement.
Use the following replacement analysis methods to rectify faulty
boards or a subsystem.
Active/Standby Switchover
This method applies to active and standby boards configured on

the ZXWR B09 rack, such as CCS.
Operate on background man-machine interface or press
active/standby switchover key on front panel of the board to
reset the board and to trigger active/standby switchover
function.
Perform a switchover again when traffic is light and observe
whether system is normal if the system recovers after
active/standby switchover. Circuit or interface of currently active
board may fail if system is not normal. Replace it and perform
further tests.
Board Resource Block
This method applies to BP.

Block, possibly a faulty BP and check the working status of the
system. Fault resides in BP or interface of the board if system
recovers. Replace the board, unblock it and perform further
tests.
Slot Exchange
This method applies to BP and TRXU. There is need to configure

multiple BPs and TRUXs on the ZXWR B09 rack.

Exchange slot of a normal board with a possibly faulty board,

and check working states of boards to determine whether fault
resides in the board or interface of the board.
Board Replacement
This method applies to EMU and TRXU configured for single

carrier and single fan. Directly replace a possibly faulty board
with a new board verified as normal.
Cable Replacement
Cables that easily fail include TRXU RF cable, IIA port fiber/E1
line and rack fan connection line. Specific method:
1. Connect RF cable of the TRXU, parts of which are possibly
faulty, to DDL of another normal cell, and check status of the
cell. TRXU and related parts are normal if the cell is still
normal. Otherwise, replace them.
2. Remove connected optical fiber and check it through self-
loop if an optical interface of IIA is blocked. This optical
interface is faulty if self-check is abnormal. Connect the fiber
to another available optical interface of IIA and reconfigure
the data. Replace the optical fiber or check peer equipment if
the other optical interface is found normal in self-loop test.
 Caution
 Do not direct optical fiber interface to eyes, this may result in
a serious injury.
 Do not look at IIA board optical interface directly, this may
result in a serious injury.
It is very difficult to remove fans on the rack. Check power cable
first by connecting it to another slot or using other methods
when finding that a fan is not working normally.
Precautions
Personnel Qualifications
Maintenance personnel must receive pre-service training to learn
necessary knowledge about the equipment and related network,
and they must follow instructions given in related manuals of the
ZXWR B09 to conduct maintenance.
Maintenance personnel must have earnest attitudes and high
competence.

Maintenance Management
Make a complete set of equipment room maintenance
regulations to standardize daily work of the maintenance
personnel. Forbid non-maintenance management personnel to
perform any maintenance operation.
Make a detailed on-duty log to provide detailed records about
system running, version status, data change, upgrade and
problem handling for easy analysis and troubleshooting once any
fault occurs.
Make a work shift record to clearly define responsibilities.
Do not play games or access the Internet through computer
terminal. Do not install, run and copy any other software not
related to the system at the terminal. Do not use the computer
terminal for other purposes.
Set NM passwords by level. Put them under strict management
and change them periodically so that they are only accessible to
maintenance personnel.
Data Maintenance
Do not reset the equipment, load or change any data unless
absolutely necessary. Do not change background database at
will.
Backup the data before making any changes. Do not delete
backup data after changing data until observation period
(usually one week) expires and be sure that the equipment is
running normally.
Equipment Room Environment

Maintain normal temperature/humidity in the equipment room.
Keep the environment tidy and clean, free from dust and
moisture. Keep rodents or insects out of the equipment room.
Ensure that primary power of the system is stable and reliable,
and check system grounding and lightning protection ground
periodically. Check lightning protection system to make sure all
facilities are in good condition, especially before storm seasons
and after thunderstorms.
The equipment room must have sufficient luminance compliant
with relevant standards. Repair lamps damaged in time and
make sure that light reaches all around the equipment room.

Tools and Instruments/Meters

All common-use tools, instruments and meters must be
available.
Instruments and meters must be subject to periodic checking
and calibration to ensure function availability and accuracy.
Spare Materials and Parts

Check spare materials and parts regularly to ensure sufficient
stocks and to prevent them from mold.
Store spare materials and parts and faulty ones separately. Mark
them properly for easy identification.
Technical Documents
Store maintenance-related application software and technical
documents by category at a specified location for easy access
when necessary.
Technical Support
Handle faults immediately when they occur. Contact local office
of ZTE Corporation for any faults you cannot solve.
Display contact information of local office of ZTE at a
conspicuous location in the equipment room. Make it known to
all maintenance management personnel, and update it regularly.

Chapter 2

Overview
Routine maintenance refers to periodic preventive maintenance
and check on the equipment so that the equipment can run in a
stable state for long. Routine maintenance includes:
1. Periodic maintenance check: Make routine check and test the
BTS equipment running, required functions, important
performance indices and hardware in compliance with
prescribed operation steps and methods through various
designated background operations or with necessary
instruments and meters on regular and scheduled basis.
2. Periodic check: Check hardware parts of BTS equipment and
its attached equipment one by one. Adjust, correct or replace
any defective part promptly to ensure equipment hardware is
in good condition. Regularly maintain and clean components
with high dust-proof requirements. Clean important
components of other peripherals regularly for normal
running.
 Caution
 Not all routine maintenance items described apply to all
kinds of possible cases. It is acceptable to refer to them and
work out routine maintenance items according to actual
situation.
 RNC (Radio Network Controller), in WCDMA system, controls
all radio parameters, so following maintenance items do not

Chapter 4
Alarm and Handling
This chapter introduces types of alarm messages that may occur

during running of the ZXWR B09, and gives severities (levels),
possible causes and troubleshooting methods.
Alarm Messages
Any problem or fault that occurs during running of the ZXWR
B09 is reported in form of an alarm message.
Usually, alarm messages last some time and do not disappear
until corresponding problems or faults disappear.
Alarm messages fall into four levels, level 1: Critical, level 2:
Major, level 3: Minor and level 4: Alarming.
1. Critical alarm
It is an alarm for board failure.
For example: related resources of a board are blocked,
functions of the system are fatally affected, and maintenance
and management personnel need to replace the board or
perform other troubleshooting procedures to clear the fault.
2. Major alarm
It is an alarm for a serious fault, and it will last for some
time.
Functions of the system are seriously affected, with signs of
services being affected. For example, QoS of a type of
equipment severely degrades, and maintenance and
management personnel need to perform emergency repair to
eliminate the fault.
3. Minor alarm
It is an alarm for a minor fault.
Functions of the system are slightly affected, indicating
existence of factors that do not affect normal services. It is

necessary to take measures to prevent severe faults and to
let maintenance and management personnel eliminate the
fault.
4. Alarming alarm
It is an alarm that indicates existence of potential problems
or problems that are about to affect normal services. It is
necessary to take measures to prevent them from
developing into faults that may severely affect normal
services.
Following sections details possible alarms in the system for
user’s reference. Contact Customer Support Center of ZTE in
time if failing to handle a generated alarm.
CCS Alarms

 When handling with alarms, perform in the order of
“Handling” until alarm vanish. For example, if there are 5
steps in “Handling” and alarms vanish when you go on with
Step 3, Seps 4 and 5 are unnecessary.

System Monitoring
High CPU Utilization
Symptoms and Effects
Alarm man-machine interface of operation and maintenance

console has a CPU utilization alarm reported, or CPU utilization
exceeds normal value for a long time when monitoring CPU
utilization at performance management man-machine interface.
High CPU utilization is of great concern. Processing capability of
the system decreases if CPU of CCS is at a high utilization for a
long time. It results in sharp rise of call loss and may cause
memory exhaustion or system breakdown.
Causes
Rise of CPU utilization of a board (particularly CCS board) may

result from:
1. The system is busy currently, for example, high traffic.
2. Too many measurement tasks are set, and there are more
measurement report messages.
3. The system has a local emergency fault, causing a large
number of alarm messages reported
Handling
Analyze the cause and take appropriate measures in case of high

CPU utilization ratio for a long time.
1. Locate the fault and isolate it by blocking failed board and
parts or using other methods if there is a large amount of
burst alarm reports.
2. Adjust measurement strategy properly if there are too many
measurement message reported, for example, cancel some
less important measurement tasks or change the period
when performing measurement tasks.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting Examples
Decreased Radius of BTS Coverage

Conversation quality at the edge of cell decreases, and

measurement with instruments shows that coverage radius of
BTS signals decreases.
Causes
1. Some radio parameters are set improperly, particularly pilot

channel transmitting power and forward transmitting power,
which affects actual coverage of BTS.
2. Surrounding landform and geographical feature changes, for
example, urban construction, also affect actual coverage.
3. Interference in space electromagnetic environment causes
pilot pollution.
4. Antenna feeder system gets faulty.
Handling
Conduct an on-site survey and detailed spectrum test near the

site, and configure radio parameters again based on ambient
characteristics and test result. It is better to let professional
network optimization personnel perform this task.
User Complaints
Difficult Call Connection
Users complain that call completion rate (successfully connected

to called party) decreases significantly and calls cannot be
connected at all in extreme cases.

Causes
Call completion rate is a basic index to evaluate overall

performance of the system. A great variety of factors may affect
it, including:
1. Boards and parts of access side equipment (including Node B
and RNC) fail, or parts of core network side equipment (such
as MSC) fail, so less resources are available and users’
access requests are mostly rejected.
2. Software version mismatch exists among some equipment or
parts, for operation mistakes at system upgrade or version
update. It affects normal working of the system, particularly
putting interactive flow of important signaling or message
into disorder. As a result, user access becomes difficult.
3. Early-stage network planning or network construction is not
perfect or resource configuration is incorrect, so allocation of
system service resources is not reasonable. There are
insufficient resources in some areas, particularly those with
large traffic, which reduce success ratio of user access.
3. User access is more likely to fail in promulgation
environment, if there is electromagnetic interference (for
example, pilot pollution) and SNR degrades.
Handling
1. Set statistical tasks on performance statistics man-machine

interface of operation and maintenance background, to
measure call completion rate in user complaint area, and
compare the result with old statistical data.
2. There is a large possibility of external electromagnetic
interference if statistical indices do not decrease significantly.
 Use a radio signaling analyzer to observe connection process
of radio signaling, and record characteristics of abnormal
interruptions.
 Use a spectrum analyzer to scan frequency band in use for
any external electromagnetic contamination.
 Locate interference source and try to eliminate it.
3. Check equipment faults, resource configurations and
software versions if statistical indices decrease significantly.
 Determine whether whole network, a BTS, or a sector is
affected according to problem area reported by the user first.
 Check current alarms and history alarms. Check working
status of equipment parts, transmission equipment and clock
source. Eliminate any fault found.
 Observe utilization of related sources continuously, for
example, board CPU utilization, link load, cell traffic, and

radio channel utilization. Adjust resource configuration data

and expand capacity of the equipment if necessary, if related
resources cannot meet needs continuously.
 Check software/hardware versions of each equipment and
part, to eliminate version mismatch.
4. It may be a sign that the system is to be down if
performance indices of the whole network degrade. Handle
the problem immediately, and report it ZTE in time.
Poor Call Quality

Symptom and Effect
Common symptoms of poor conversation quality are:

1. Call drop: There is frequent abnormal interruption during
conversation of users.
2. One-way conversation: One party cannot hear the other
party during the conversation.
3. Intermittent voice: The voice is intermittent when users are
in conversation.
Causes
1. Mobile terminal has poor demodulation performance

(receiving sensitivity), and fluctuation of receiving field
strength affects conversation quality.
2. Either or both parties of the call are on edge of cell(s) or the
call is blocked by landform or buildings, so signal field
strength is weak and fluctuates greatly. They result in a high
frame error rate and affecting voice quality.
3. Strong electromagnetic interference is present in the space,
including pilot pollution, carrier interference, and abnormal
sector power of adjacent BTSs. They result in decreased
voice quality.
 Pilot pollution: Surplus pilot frequencies become a strong
interference source when there are three or more pilot
frequencies with nearly equal magnitude in coverage area.
 Carrier interference: It is strong signal interference at a
frequency close to carrier frequency of BTS in coverage area.
The interference may be continuous or in a burst.
 Abnormal sector power of adjacent BTS: Power output of
sectors of adjacent BTS is fluctuating often at amplitude over
3dB, producing interference to overlapped soft handover
area of corresponding sector of other BTSs or its adjacent
BTS.

4. Users are moving during the conversation. Signals are

seriously blocked suddenly, and air links undergo fast fading
or receiving signal strength undergoes sudden change when
there are obstacles in the surrounding. They affect continuity
of voice because rapid power control function cannot
effectively follow up.
5. Resources occupied during the conversation, such as carrier
frequency, link, board, switching network and transmission
equipment have faults and do not work stably. They affect
stability of the conversation.
6. Data configurations are incorrect or versions of hardware and
software do not match. They affect stability of the
conversation.
Handling
1. Check mobile terminal used for conversation. Use multiple

terminals of different models for comparison if possible, to
determine whether the terminal has any problem.
2. Test signal field strength in conversation area to evaluate
coverage effect. Optimize the network if the area has weak
signal field strength.
3. Monitor with instruments to see whether any pilot pollution
or carrier interference exists in the region. Find out
interference source and handle it properly if so.
4. Query recent forward power output status of all adjacent
BTSs at operation and maintenance console. Check
corresponding BTS and eliminate related fault if finding any
abnormal power output.
5. Usual reason for voice quality degradation only occurring
during motion is that power control mechanism in special
geographical and ambient system cannot accommodate the
application. There is need to optimize the network in this
case, for example, by adjusting the antenna.
6. Use a signaling monitoring meter or start signaling tracing at
operation and maintenance background, and perform on-site
dialing test, to monitor signaling flow. Query history alarms
and current alarms simultaneously as a supplement to locate
the fault. Check corresponding data configuration and
hardware/software versions to eliminate the fault if locating
the fault to a specific board or part.
Slow to Access Internet

Connection speed is relatively slow when users access the
Internet through packet service.

Causes
1. Signals on forward radio link are of poor quality. For

example, received power at the edge is below -90dBm, or
received power is high but FER is above 10%, which limits
rate of the forward link.
2. Fail to provide high-rate downloading-required bandwidth
because system resources are insufficient.
3. The equipment other than Node B fails.
Handling
1. Use instruments to test received power and BER of forward

radio link, and perform network optimization if required.
2. View current occupation and allocation of system resources,
such as carrier frequencies, links, boards and switching
network, to find out “bottleneck” of resources. Upgrade the
equipment or expand capacity if condition permits.

Chapter 6
Emergent Fault Handling
This chapter introduces emergent faults during running of the

ZXWR B09, and provides how to contact the Customer Support
Center of ZTE. For some emergent faults, a quick handling
procedure on site is given.
Definition of Emergency
Fault
Emergency fault means that a major fault occurs during running
of the product and fails to provide basic service, for example:
the equipment is paralyzed or suspended; the system is in
disorder; abnormal running time exceeds 30 minutes for other
causes or the product endangers personnel safety. The
followings are level-1 faults:
1. Fail to provide basic service (regardless of any cause such as
equipment paralysis, suspension, system disorder or ambient
and human factors), and fails to recover after preliminary
handling. Emergency handling is in need.
2. Service interruption affects major sites or customers.
3. Foreground/background communication is completely
interrupted.
4. Affects other equipment to provide basic service.
5. Use of the product endangers personnel safety.

Chapter 6 Emergent Fault Handling
Sudden System Breakdown

Sudden system breakdown refers to sudden global failure of the
system, including calls fail globally, calls are globally hard to get
connected, wireless Internet access is denied or Internet access
speed is very low globally in some district.
Check whether all board indicators on the ZXWR B09 rack are
normal and whether there is any critical alarm, if failing to make
calls or running the dial-up program suddenly. View global traffic
on Service Observation window to determine whether system
breakdown has occurred.
Perform following steps in sequence to solve the problem:
1. Check status of BTS through background man-machine
interface, and isolate faulty board according to alarm status.
2. Check whether IIA works normally.
RNC loses contact with Node B, and operation and
maintenance in communication with Node B through IPOA
fails if transmission system has any fault.
3. Check communications of CCS with BP and TRXU.
View rack status through background interface and check
whether any BP or TRXU generates an alarm.
4. Check whether clock system has any major alarm.
5. Check RF subsystem.
Observe whether measured values of broadband receiving power
and carrier transmitting power of each RF subsystem are
normal. The antenna system may have a fault if measured
power is at a significantly low level for a long time.
Observe whether power amplifier unit is closed for protection
because output power is too high.
Transmission Disconnected
Node B cannot communicate with RNC and user services cannot
be accessed, if transmission between RNC and Node B is faulty.
1. Use a piece of normal transmission wire (E1 or optical fiber)
to self-loop IIA. IIA is normal if self-loop succeeds. IIA is
abnormal and needs replacement if self-loop fails.
2. Perform a self-loop test for corresponding transmission
interface of RNC by following same procedures. Replace the
board if it is abnormal.
3. Check transmission line connecting RNC and Node B.

Power Amplifier Output Power

Protection
Output power protection of the power amplifier is triggered, and
there is no output signal or output signal is very weak, so Node
B does not work normally and user services cannot be accessed.
Output power protection of the power amplifier is basically
because SWR is too high and power returned is too large. They
may burn the power amplifier. There is need of protection and
the power amplifier adjusts output power to decrease power
returned. Improper installation of antenna feeder system results
in unmatched input impedance and output impedance in actual
cases.
1. Remotely reset the power amplifier board, and observe
whether the system recovers. Reset it on site if not.
2. Check whether antenna feeder system is disconnected.
Install antenna feeder system properly if so.
3. Check whether antenna system is in short circuit. Replace it
with a new one if so.
4. Check whether there is any sign that water enters antenna
feeder system or antenna feeder system becomes aging. In
the first case, discharge the water in former case and replace
antenna feeder system in latter case.
Lightning Strike
A lightning strike may have damaged the equipment, if system
service suddenly becomes abnormal.
Check devices in the following order: antenna feeder, DDL,
TRXU, power distributor, IIA, and optical interface of IIA.
Isolate failed parts and replace them.
