Step 3 Check the output voltage of the satellite receiver by performing the following steps:
1.
2.
Use a mulimeter to measure the voltage output from the GPS satellite receiver to the
GPS antenna.
In normal cases, the output voltage at the ANT port is larger than 4.8 V.
Step 4 Check the connection cables of the GPS antenna by performing the following operations:
Connect the shielding layer and the core layer at one end of the jumper.
Measure the resistance between the shielding layer and the core layer at the other end
of the jumper.
In normal cases, the resistance is very small. If the resistance is infinite, suspect that the
conductor is broken. In this case, measure the resistance of the jumper section by section
to locate the disconnected part.
Check the short cable between the GPS receiver and the BCKM panel.
If the cable is twisted for a long time, it may be damaged. In turn, the GPS signal cannot
be received.
Replace this cable with a 10 MHz or a 2 S output cable to check whether the failure of
the GPS signal reception is caused by the damaged cable.

Step 1 Clear the fault in the power supply or the transmission system.
If the disconnection of the transmission link is caused by the transmission fault or the power
supply system faults, contact the power supply personnel or transmission maintenance
personnel to solve the problem quickly.
For identifying the transmission system faults, refer to 3.2.2 "Transmission System Faults
Location."
Step 2 Check the setting of the DIP switch on the BCIM/CESP.
Ensure that the transmission resistance set in the DIP switch on the BCIM/CESP matches
the transmission cable.
Ensure that the sheath grounding status of the transmission cable set in the DIP switch on
the BCIM/ compact-BTS E1 surge protector (CESP) and the sheath grounding status of
the transmission cable set in the transmission equipment meet the requirements.
For the meaning of the DIP switch on the BCIM/CESP, refer to the Airbridge BTS3606E
CDMA Base Station Hardware Reference.
The principles of transmission cable grounding are as follows:
If one end of the cables cannot be grounded, you must ground both the TX and RX of the other end
of the cables.
Execute the command DSP CBTSTSTTSK to query whether the E1/T1 port at the BTS
side is in the loopback test or link test state. If the OML is disconnected, you cannot
execute the command DSP CBTSTSTTSK. In this case, execute the command LST
LOG to query whether the previous operations keep the E1/T1 port in the loopback test
or link test state.
Execute the command DSP E1T1STAT to query the status of E1/T1 port at the BSC side
and check whether the E1/T1 port is in the loopback status.
If the E1/T1 port at the BTS side is in the test status, execute the command STP
CBTSTSTTSK to stop the test. If the OML is disconnected, the BTS resets within five
minutes. .
If the E1/T1 port at the BSC side is in the loopback status, execute the command SET
LPBACKE1T1 to stop the loopback.

The principle of transmission cable grounding is as follows:
If one end of the cables cannot be grounded, you must ground both the TX and RX of other end of
the cables.
Step 3 Check the DDF grounding and the E1/T1 shielding layer grounding on the DDF.
In normal cases, the digital distribution frame (DDF) shares the ground with the nearby
equipment. That is, the BTS shares the ground with the DDF of the BTS.
The shielding layer of the E1/T1 does not connect to the DDF. That is, an insulation washer is
installed between the E1/T1 metal connector and the DDF.
If the E1/T1 metal connector connects to the DDF at the BTS side, the E1/T1 shielding layer
at the BTS side is grounded regardless of the settings of the DIP switches on the BCIM.
If the environment of the equipment room allows the transmission equipment to share the
same ground with the BTS, do not check this item.
Step 4 Loop back the transmission link section by section and measure the transmission BER to
locate the fault.
Refer to 5.3.7 "Checking the Quality of Abis Transmission Link" to locate the part of the
transmission link with poor transmission quality. Poor transmission quality may be caused by
the faults in the ground connections or the connectors.

If the transmission equipment room does not share the ground with the BTS equipment room,
the electric potential difference may exist between the two equipment rooms.
If the E1/T1 shielding layer is grounded in the transmission equipment room and the BTS
equipment room, the shielding layer and the ground form a loop. Thus, interference is
introduced. Therefore, ground only one end of the E1/T1 shielding layer, that is, the
transmitting end or the receiving end.
When you ground the E1/T1 cables that connect to the transmission equipment, check the
grounding of E1/T1 on the DDF. If the transmission equipment is not required to be grounded,
do not ground the E1/T1 on the DDF at the transmission equipment side.

When the total logical bandwidth is less than one and a half times of the actual
physical bandwidth, adjust the bandwidth.
For timeslot-based transmission mode, the calculation of the total bandwidth does not
follow the previous principle. When the signaling load or the operation and maintenance

The following steps involve adjusting the parameters about network performance. Improper
adjust deteriorates the network performance.
Step 1 Trace the transmit power of the carrier on the LMT.
After the transmit power is stable, the difference between the digital power sum and the HPA
output power must be less than 0.1 dB. If the difference is greater than 7 dB, the module or
cable connection is faulty.
For the CMTR/OMTR in which a baseband power detection is added,
If the difference between the digital power and the RF forward output power is greater
than 0.5 dB, the CMTR/OMTR is faulty.
If the difference between the RF forward output power and HPA output power is greater
than 0.5 dB, the cable connection between the RF modules is faulty or the CHPA is
faulty.
Step 5 Check the setting of the parameters about the power of the channels.
Run the LST CMFINF command to check whether the setting the parameters about the
power of the channels is correct.
For the settings of the parameters about the power of the channels, refer to the Help of the

When a call is in progress, the normal average main RSSI ranges from 100.0 dBm to
108.0 dBm. The normal average diversity RSSI ranges from 100.0 dBm to 108.0
dBm.
When no call is in progress, the load is zero and the normal average RSSI ranges from
105.0 dBm to 112.0 dBm.
Ensure that the antenna installation position, such as antenna azimuth and antenna
isolation, meets the requirements.
If the main and diversity RSSI values differ greatly, self excitation occurs in the antenna
system that has a large RSSI.
If the antenna system is equipped with a lightning arrester, ensure that the DC
breakdown voltage of the lightning arrester meets the requirements.
Step 3 Check the antenna system and cable connections of the RF equipment.
If the main and diversity RSSI values differ greatly, check the cable connections of the
antenna system that has a small RSSI for errors.
Step 4 Check the settings of network parameters, such as the access channel parameter and access
channel load control parameter.

4.2 Precautions
This section describes the precautions that you must take in parts replacement.
Prior to the parts replacement, read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the
procedures of and the affects on the system operation.
Follow the instructions described in this chapter during parts replacement to prevent
misoperations.
Record the types and versions of the parts to be replaced in case the new parts are
incompatible with the system.

If you cannot locate the fault, replace one part. If the fault persists, however, replace
another part. After you perform the previous operations, reinstall the part that is first
replaced if the fault is cleared.
Cover the optical ports of the removed boards or modules with dust-proof caps.
After the parts replacement, verify the functions of the new parts and the system to
ensure a successful replacement.
When you replace batteries, use specialized insulation tools and take protective measures
to prevent fluid leakage or short-circuiting of the batteries.
When you remove or install an optical fiber, do not look at the beam of light with naked
eyes.
When you replace the RF boards or modules, power off the RF boards or modules to
prevent injury caused by the high-intensity microwave.
When you operate the active boards or modules, you must wear an ESD wrist strap or
antistatic gloves.
Tighten the writs strap around your wrist so that:
Ensure that the wrist strap is functioning. Its resistance value must be within 0.75
megaohm to 10 megaohm. If the validity period (usually two years) of a wrist strap
expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, use a functioning wrist strap.
Do not touch the boards with your clothing, because the clothing generates static
electricity beyond the protection scope of the wrist strap.

Insert boards along the guide rails until they are in place. A loosely inserted board causes
the following problems:
Keep the boards or modules to be installed in antistatic bags. Place the removed boards
or modules on an antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Do not use non-antistatic
materials, such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags, to pack the boards.
Use dust-proof cap to protect the cores of the optical fibers and cable connectors from
pollution.
CAUTION
Avoid interruption of the BTS services owing to a low ambient temperature.
Before you open the cabinet door, take measures to keep the ambient temperature above 5C
(+23F).
If the front door is open for a long time, put a mat under the cabinet to avoid distortion of
the cabinet before you open the front door.
After you open the front door, use a gag lever post to support the front door. In this way,
the front door is stable.
Before you close the front door, lift the gag lever post so that the gag lever post can slide
on the guide rail.
Enable the reverse maintenance function of the cBSS and LMT to log in to the BAM at
the BTS (recommended).
For the procedure for logging in to the BTS, refer to 5.3 "Routine Operations."

The RF cables between RF modules are installed before delivery. The contents in this section are
used for reference in maintenance.
when replacing the RF cables between RF modules on site, run the BLK RES command to block all
the carriers of the RF unit to which the RF cable is connected. Then, set the priority to Low so that
the services of BTS are not affected.
