CBUS device description

The CBUS device is a hardware device that carries the GCLK signal on the backplane. A specific CBUS is dedicated to a GCLK. The state of the CBUS does not follow the state of the GCLK as due to hardware redundanc a CBUS can still be used b the s ste! even though its GCLK is ""S. The user transitions are not supported for the CBUS. Control of the CBUS is b the GCLK transitions.

CBUS alarms and fault resolution procedures

Overview
CBUS alarms are generated when the system detects a problem with the clock signal on the CBUS. These alarms typically result from a primary failure elsewhere in the clock generation and distribution function. With the single exception shown below, on site troubleshooting is not normally re!uired.

PBUS alarms and fault resolution procedures

Overview
"BUS alarms are generated for faults associated with the "rocessor Bus #"BUS$. The "BUS is the software de%ice representing the &otorola Cellular 'd%anced "rocessor #&C'"$ bus. The &C'" transports data between the (")*Cs and the following full si+e digital boards, &S-.)/C0). (C12. (0". 2SW.TSW. 0)-.0)-&.

PBUS: Device Failure

Hardware
BSC and -nCell.

Description
This alarm is generated if the "BUS de%ice is placed **S due to a fault translation triggered by background system tests on the &C'" bus. Since the &C'" bus transports data from the (")*Cs to the full si+e boards listed in the preceding Overview, it is likely that the problem is in these participating modules, in the bus

terminator cards #BTCs$, or in the physical &C'" bus itself. This bus runs through the backplane. 0epending on the hardware configuration, this alarm can therefore be caused by, 3ailed &S-./C0). 3ailed (C12. 3ailed (0". 3ailed 2SW.TSW. 3ailed 0)-.0)-&. 3ailed BTC#s$. 3ailed backplane or backplane edge connectors.

Hardware
This alarm applies to BSC, -nCell BTS, )/C0) only.

Description
The BCU" Serial Bus Connection 3ailure alarm is generated if a "ower Supply &odule #"S&$ fails to respond when it is polled from the (eneric "rocessor board #(")*C$, by the 3&S. This indicates that the 3&S on the (")*C is unable to communicate with the "S& board %ia the Serial Bus #SBUS$. The physical path for the SBUS is through the backplane. This alarm is therefore typically due to, 3aulty "S& board installation. 3aulty "S& board. 3aulty 3&S. 3aulty SBUS signal line through the backplane. 3aulty backplane edge connectors.

Procedure
Procedure !" Serial Bus Connection Failure alarm The two boards that ha%e failed to communicate %ia the SBUS are the (")*C and "S& boards. This procedure therefore checks that the rele%ant boards are properly seated. -f this fails to clear the alarm, the boards are checked in turn by substitution. -f the alarm persists, the backplane edge connectors are examined and, if necessary, the physical path through the backplane is tested for continuity.

SBUS alarm and fault resolution procedures

Overview
SBUS alarms are generated for fault conditions associated with the Serial Bus #SBUS$ de%ice. 'n SBUS is a logical de%ice that maps the communications path between the (")*Cs and 1'4/ cards. The communications path includes the half si+e cards installed in the cage. 5ach cage has two SBUSs, one acti%e and one standby. SBUS alarms apply to BSC and -nCell BSU based systems only, including 5xCell and TopCell. The single SBUS alarm does not normally re!uire on site troubleshooting

SBUS: Device Failure

Hardware
BSC, -nCell, including 5xCell and TopCell.

Description
This alarm is generated if the SBUS de%ice fails, causing the site to reset. The SBUS runs from the (")*C to the 1'4/ board, %ia the half si+e boards on the shelf. The SBUS is terminated on the backplane by a Bus Termination Card #BT$, which keeps signals on the bus at the correct TT1 le%el. This alarm can therefore be caused by, 1'4/ board not correctly inserted into the backplane. 1'4/ board failure. 3aulty (")*C board. &issing BTC causing signals to go out of range. ' half si+e board is not correctly seated in the backplane. 3aulty half si+e board. The SBUS edge connectors on the backplane are faulty. Two BTC modules must be fitted in each BSU or )/U shelf, in slot 16 and slot 178, at all times. Before a BTC is remo%ed, a BTC must therefore be inserted into a 2SW slot to maintain this re!uirement.

$BUS alarms and fault resolution procedures

Overview
TBUS alarms are generated for faults associated with the T0& Bus #TBUS$. ' TBUS is a logical de%ice consisting of a 2SW, the cage containing the TBUS, local and remote 2SW/.0SW/ cards #if used$, and the fibre optic cables interconnecting the 2SW/.0SW/ cards. 5ach cage has two TBUS de%ices, one acti%e and one redundant. ' TBUS may reside in the same cage as the controlling 2SW or it may reside in an extended cage. When the system detects a T0& :ighway fault condition related to a specific cage, a loopback test is initiated. This loopback test is performed between the (")*Cs in that cage and the acti%e 2SW. -f the loopback test fails, a specific TBUS loopback alarm is generated. TBUS alarms are also generated when a fault occurs within the TBUS fibre optic link between cages. The TBUS alarm is reported by a 2SW, a 2SW/, a (")*C, an &S-./C0), or a 0)-, to the designated (")*C software.
