Updated Step 2, with following:


Occasionally, a locally connected NEM PC will lose
communication with an eNodeB after an eNodeB boot.
This may happen after the activate operation. If this
occurs, NEM will not be able to return from the
activate operation. The In progress symbol on NEM
will continue being displayed, long after the activate
itself should have completed. If this occurs, restart the
NEM PC. When it completes initialization, bring up
NEM again on the eNodeB. NEM should indicate that
the eNodeB is in the activate state. Follow the NEM
prompts to accept the new load.
Updated Step 3, with following:
Note: Occasionally, a locally connected NEM PC will
lose communication with an eNodeB after an eNodeB
boot. If this occurs, NEM will not be able to return
from the database restoration. The In progress
symbol on NEM will continue being displayed, long
after the restoration itself should have completed. If
this occurs, restart the NEM PC. When it completes
initialization, bring up NEM again on the eNodeB.

Procedure 4-3.4: Install new CCM


using 5620 SAM (p. 4-59)

Updated Step 8, with the following:

Procedure 5-3.4: Install new CCM


using 5620 SAM (p. 5-58)

(continued)

Observe the following conditions occurring with


factory loaded CCMs:

If the factory load flashed on the CCM is older


than LR13.1, then the OAM link status parameter
in SAM always displays as DOWN becasue there is
no OAM Link Status and no table in the eNodeB
for SAM to read to mark the OAM Link Status as
UP. As a consequence, this parameter status has to
be ignored and the installation has to be continued.

If the factory load flashed on the CCM is at least


LR13.1 or newer, the OAM link status parameter
from SAM has to be taken into account.

Procedure 6-3.4: Install new CCM


using 5620 SAM, in MBI cabinet
(p. 6-59)

Intended audience

Replacement/repair process
Overview

The replacement/repair process follows the identification of a failed Field Replaceable


Unit (FRU). Depending on the FRU, the process may require a simple swap of the unit, or
it may require resetting and/or re-calibrating cell operating parameters.
Replacement process

The process for replacing a failed FRU is as follows:


1. Verify that the FRU is out-of-service.
2. If required, change cell configuration.
3. Replace FRU. Service technicians use this document to replace the failed
components.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

4. Return FRU back to service.


5. Test, and if necessary, configure or calibrate FRU.
Hot swap FRUs

FRUs have the capability of being inserted or removed while power is applied. That is,
the circuit breaker for the cell or FRU can be left on while replacing the FRU.
One pin (or two, depending on FRU) on each backplane connector is designed for last
contact (ground is first contact) on the FRU. These pins are connected to an on-board hot
swap controller which senses the presence of applied power and ramps up the on-board
voltages to their required levels, preventing any potential damage to FRUs during an
insertion or extraction when power is applied.
The following table shows whether a cabinet needs to be powered down during
replacement of the various modules.

Procedure 4-1: Replace RUC/Fan Tray


Purpose

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
To avoid possible deletion of the 9926 BBU database, when replacing a RUC/Fan Tray in
an LTE 9926 BBU, ONLY USE FACTORY NEW RUC/Fan Trays.
When replacing a +24V or -48V RUC/Fan Tray or performing the ECP CN CL2002CB
for the -48V RUC/Fan Tray replacement, never insert a RUC/Fan Tray into a different
eNodeB after its initial use. A new RUC/Fan Tray is programmed with factory default
values that are detected by the eCCM and then reprogrammed for the given site. If a
reprogrammed RUC/Fan Tray spare is removed and installed into another eNodeB, the
controller will remove the site database, rendering the eNodeB inoperable (thus factory
mode).
Contact Alcatel-Lucent Technical Support with any questions.
This procedure describes how to replace the RUC/Fan Tray located in the Alcatel-Lucent
9926 BBU of a 9412 eNodeB.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, RUC/Fan Tray refers to both the RUC/Fan Tray
and RUC/High-Capacity Fan Tray (RUC/HC Fan Tray).
Important! The RUC/Fan Tray includes the network entity identifier (NE ID) for the
eNodeB. The NE ID is used to identify the 9412 eNodeB to the network and is used to
obtain the OAM IP address through an optional Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) server or manually. If the DHCP server is activated, the eNodeB sends a
request to a DHCP server using an eNodeB unique identifier and the DHCP server
answers with the IP address that had been provisioned associated with this eNodeB
unique identifier. This IP address is used by the 9412 eNodeB for the OAM flow. If
the DHCP server feature is deactivated, a technician must enter the OAM IP address
at commissioning time on the 9412 eNodeB.
The RUC/Fan Tray is programmed at the factory with the relevant serialization
number (NodeB unique identifier). If the DHCP server is used, the serialization
number has been declared as the NE ID for the eNodeB. When replacing the
RUC/Fan Tray, the cabinet serialization number must be programmed into the new
RUC/Fan Tray so that there is no impact on the DHCP server. This is done
automatically.

Replacement process

The RUC/Fan Tray and CCM include the eNodeB serial number and eNodeB OAM IP
address in non-volatile memory. The serial number and OAM IP address are used to
identify the eNodeB in the EMS. This redundancy allows either device to be replaced
without losing this information and maintaining communications with EMS.
The RUC/Fan Tray can be found in two basic versions, factory default RUC or
configured RUC. The factory default RUC includes a default serial number that the CCM
recognizes during the RUC replacement process and allows the CCM to reprogram the

stored eNodeB serial number into the RUC. The configured RUC is not recognized
during the RUC replacement process by the CCM or EMS and cannot be reprogrammed
automatically. The eNodeB must then go through a complete reconfiguration.
During the replacement process, the RUC is checked. If the RUC is a factory default
RUC, the RUC serial number is automatically updated from the CCM and the eNodeB is
unlocked and operational. If the RUC is a configured RUC, the EMS receives appropriate
error messages requiring a complete reconfiguration.

Procedure 4-2: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 using NEM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Procedure 4-2: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 using NEM


Purpose

This procedure describes how to replace the eCCM-U or eCCM2 in the Alcatel-Lucent
9926 BBU of the Alcatel-Lucent 9412 eNodeB indoor/outdoor BB cabinet using NEM.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, CCM indicates the referenced information
applies to both the eCCM-U and eCCM2.
Hot-swap FRU

No
Attention: The CCM hardware is designed to be electronically hot-swappable.
However, the CCM replacement procedure will not work correctly if the CCM is hot
swapped.
This procedure is written requiring the eNodeB must be Locked and power turned
OFF before removing the CCM from the 9926 BBU Sub-Rack.
Intervention time

Perform replacement during low traffic period or maintenance window. If not done
previously, this procedure requires additional preparation time for collecting software
updates for the eNodeB and NEM, MIB and MIM database files, and Customer
Information Sheet (CIS), Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ), or equivalent
transport, and commissioning data from customer network design and engineering
department.
Replacement duration for the CCM using NEM is indicated for the following
arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare - 25 minutes (actual not provided)
From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare - 25 minutes (actual, 15 min)
From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade - 25 minutes (actual, 13 min 40 s)

From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback - 45 minutes (actual


not provided)

The durations are approximate and include full database backup, shutdown, CCM
replacement, power on, software download, activation, acceptance, and full database
restore.

Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade


from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed using NEM.
The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to an eCCM2 or
downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset using NEM before completing the procedure (refer to
Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB IP Security
If IPsec is enabled using digital certificates and the eCCM-U/eCCM2 does not have a
factory installed certificate, then convert the eNodeB to either a non-IPsec configuration
or PreSharedKeys (PSK) configuration.
Reference: Refer to Alcatel-Lucent 9400 LTE Radio Access Network IP Security

Integration Procedure, 9YZ-05817-0012-USZZA, for details.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB full database (DB) backup file


For field personnel, check that the full database (DB) backup of the affected eNodeB is
present and current on the NEM PC.
Before the eCCM-U or eCCM2 field swap, a full database (DB) backup file must be
created. The DB backup includes SNMP data and NETCONF data. This is only done
from a NEM PC connected to the 9926 BBU.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a full database (DB) backup for the site
during installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the
last scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the eNodeB, check
with OMC (SAM) personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during
initial installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the
backup files and copy them to the NEM PC. If the full database (DB) backup is not
available at all, the 9926 BBU will need to be recommissioned during installation of the
new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and OMC personnel, provide the eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
eNodeB during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from NEM is a
backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM
replacement.
From eNodeB, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From NEM, select Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties
tab.
2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting
OAM addresses), refer to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27), to reset the
OAM addresses. This has to be done at the local cell site using NEM.

Procedure 4-3: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 using 5620 SAM


Purpose

This procedure describes how to replace the eCCM-U or eCCM2 in the Alcatel-Lucent
9926 BBU of the Alcatel-Lucent 9412 eNodeB indoor/outdoor BB cabinet using the
OMC 5620 SAM client.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, CCM indicates the referenced information
applies to the eCCM-U and eCCM2.
Hot-swap FRU

No
Attention: The CCM hardware is designed to be electronically hot-swappable.
However, the CCM replacement procedure will not work correctly if the CCM is hot
swapped.
This procedure is written requiring the eNodeB must be Locked and power turned
OFF before removing the CCM from the 9926 BBU Sub-Rack.
Intervention time

Perform replacement during low traffic period or maintenance window. If not done
previously, this procedure requires additional preparation time for collecting software
updates for the eNodeB and NEM, MIB and MIM database files, and Customer
Information Sheet (CIS), Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ), or equivalent
transport, and commissioning data from customer network design and engineering
department.
Replacement duration for the CCM using 5620 SAM is indicated for the following
arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare - 45 minutes (actual, 35 min 30 s)


From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare - 45 minutes (actual, 32 min)

From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade - 45 minutes (actual, 30 min 20 s)


From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback - 45 minutes (actual,
36 min)

The durations are approximate and include MIB backup, shutdown, CCM replacement,
power on, software download, activation, acceptance, and MIB restore.

Safety

CAUTION
Laser Class 1 hazards - laser emission
Laser emissions can damage the eyes.
Never look into the end of the fiber-optic cable or SFP transceiver to prevent eye damage.
Apply an appropriate cover/cap over the cable or SFP transceiver to prevent eye damage.

NOTICE
Service interruption
Service lost during maintenance window.
Notify OMC in case of service interruption or reduction.

NOTICE
ESD hazard
Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Circuit packs must therefore always be kept in antistatic covers. Use the original
antistatic packaging if possible.
Always observe the general ESD safety instructions.

NOTICE
Equipment damage hazard
FRUs/circuit packs can be damaged if field repairs are attempted.
FRUs/circuit packs are not field serviceable devices. Do not attempt to repair/replace
ANY FRU/circuit pack components outside of a qualified Alcatel-Lucent repair center.

SFP connectors: the eCCM2 supports the same set of SFPs as the eCCM-U.

2.

Alarm connector: if the eCCM2 is to be connected to the RUC faceplate in the same
manner as the eCCM-U, the same cable can be used (3JR22028AC). The eCCM2 connector
replaces some eCCM-U connections (Evolium BCB link for future use) with User Alarms. If
access to User Alarms is required, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.

3.

BH1, BH2, BH3, BH4 connectors: BH1 (OPT1) and BH3 (GE1) are supported. BH2 and
BH4 are not supported (for future enhancements). BH1 is default connection and BH3 is
backup. If BH1 is connected first, a reset is required to enable BH3, even when BH1 is
unplugged.

Check CCM status

Refer to eCCM-U LED status (p. D-1) to determine the status of the CCM using the
status LED matrix and CPRI LEDs.
Before you begin

The CCM can be replaced in one of the following arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare


From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare

From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade


From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback

Check the current running eNodeB software release assigned to the eNodeB from either
software repositories or release notes. If the running eNodeB software is not present on
the NEM PC and SAM client, download the current release(s) from either Alcatel-Lucent
ALED or customer internal software repository.
See Appendix E, Update 9926 BBU software loads to download running eNodeB
software and release notes from ALED. If the customer has an internal software
repository, refer to customer instructions to download the software and release notes to
the NEM PC and SAM client.
Note: In this procedure, loading software from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade
from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed with NEM.
The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to an eCCM2 or
downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset with NEM before completing the procedure (refer to
Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).

eNodeB SNMP MIB backup file


For field and OMC personnel, check that the SNMP MIB backup file of the affected
eNodeB is present and current on the NEM PC and SAM client.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a SNMP MIB backup for the site during
installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the last
scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the eNodeB, check with
the OMC (SAM) personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during
initial installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the
backup files and copy them to the NEM PC and SAM client. If the SNMP MIB is not
available at all, the 9412 eNodeB will need to be recommissioned during installation of
the new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIB from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
If the eNodeB is operational; an SNMP MIB backup can be created from either OMC or
eNodeB as follows:

From OMC, perform an immediate backup of the SNMP MIB. Refer to 5620 SAM
LTE RAN User Guide, Chapter, NE maintenance, Section, eNodeB backup and
restore, Procedure, To perform an immediate eNodeB backup or restore, for details.

From eNodeB, backup as follows:


1. Open NEM and login.
2. From the main menu, select Configuration > MIB Backup.
3. Click Yes to accept internal SFTP server.
4. Navigate to the folder where backup file is going to be stored.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE the automatically named backup file (*.sdb),
after the backup is completed. The filename of a backup file is incorporated in the
file itself and a consistency check is performed before restoring it.
5. Click Download.
6. Click OK when the download is complete.

Procedure 4-3.1: Things to do before going out to the cell


site using 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and OMC personnel, provide a MIM backup of the eNodeB from either the
SAM database or a configuration snapshot (refer to 5620 SAM LTE RAN User Guide,
Chapter, Offline configuration, Section, Configuration snapshots, Procedure, To take a
configuration snapshot ). The MIM backup is required to restore the eNodeB if the
current active eNodeB MIM data is unavailable.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIM from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.

eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties


For field and OMC personnel, provide the eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
eNodeB during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from NEM is a
backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM
replacement.
From eNodeB, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From NEM, select Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties
tab.
2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting

(p. 4-40), or contact technical support.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Contact the OMC, check the SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link
Status field, and proceed as follows:

If the OAM Link Status field displays Up, 10-15 minutes after power-up, go to the
following step.
If the OAM Link Status field displays Down, 10-15 minutes after power-up, do one of
the following:
Perform Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) to restore the OAM link at
the cell site (NEM).
If the OAM link cannot be restored, contact technical support.
Note: Observe the following conditions occurring with factory loaded CCMs:

If the factory load flashed on the CCM is older than LR13.1, then the OAM link
status parameter in SAM always displays as DOWN becasue there is no OAM
Link Status and no table in the eNodeB for SAM to read to mark the OAM Link
Status as UP. As a consequence, this parameter status has to be ignored and the
installation has to be continued.
If the factory load flashed on the CCM is at least LR13.1 or newer, the OAM link
status parameter from SAM has to be taken into account.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From OMC: Update/align 5620 SAM and eNodeB software and configuration as
follows:

For aligned software: if 5620 SAM detects an aligned software image and SNMP
IDs between SAM and eNodeB, the following alarm is raised: NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected, go to Procedure 4-3.5: Restore CCM with aligned software
using 5620 SAM (p. 4-63) to align the configuration and then the SW if it is
required.
For mis-aligned software: if 5620 SAM detects a mis-aligned software image
between the expected (in SAM) and actual eNodeB and SNMP IDs, the following
alarms are raised: NodeSoftwareMisalignmentDetected and MediationAuthenticationFailure. Go to Procedure 4-3.6: Restore CCM with mis-aligned

Steps

Perform the following procedure to restore the eCCM-U or eCCM2 (CCM) with aligned
software to an operational state using 5620 SAM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
From OMC: Perform an NE reconfiguration to replace the eNodeB MIM with the most
recently synchronized version from the 5620 SAM database as follows:
1. Trigger an NE reconfiguration by right-clicking on an eNodeB in the Equipment tree
or Topology map and choosing Actions > Reconfigure NE from the contextual menu.
A warning dialog box appears.
2. Select the check box in the warning to indicate that you acknowledge the implications
of the action and click on the Yes button. Wait for the reconfigure action to complete.
This may take several minutes.
3. Verify that the NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected alarm is cleared and the
eNodeB returns to a managed state.
The eNodeB reboots. SAM General tab, Site, State field displays Managed after
reboot. SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link Status field displays
Down until reboot is completed.
Note: Reconfiguring the eNodeB database configuration replaces the entire eNodeB
MIM, regardless of the existing configuration on the NE. The procedure can trigger a
full or partial eNodeB reset, which is service-affecting.

Procedure 5-1: Replace RUC/Fan Tray in LTE 9926 BBU


Purpose

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
To avoid possible deletion of the 9926 BBU database, when replacing a RUC/Fan Tray in
an LTE 9926 BBU, ONLY USE FACTORY NEW RUC/Fan Trays.
When replacing a +24V or -48V RUC/Fan Tray or performing the ECP CN CL2002CB
for the -48V RUC/Fan Tray replacement, never insert a RUC/Fan Tray into a different
eNodeB after its initial use. A new RUC/Fan Tray is programmed with factory default
values that are detected by the eCCM and then reprogrammed for the given site. If a
reprogrammed RUC/Fan Tray spare is removed and installed into another eNodeB, the
controller will remove the site database, rendering the eNodeB inoperable (thus factory
mode).
Contact Alcatel-Lucent Technical Support with any questions.
This procedure describes how to replace the RUC/Fan Tray of a 9926 BBU.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, RUC/Fan Tray refers to both the RUC/Fan Tray
and RUC/High-Capacity Fan Tray (RUC/HC Fan Tray).
Important! The RUC/Fan Tray includes the network entity identifier (NE ID) for the
9926 BBU. The NE ID is used to identify the 9926 BBU to the network and is used to
obtain the OAM IP address through an optional Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) server or manually. If the DHCP server is activated, the 9926 BBU sends a
request to a DHCP server using an eNodeB unique identifier and the DHCP server
answers with the IP address that had been provisioned associated with this eNodeB
unique identifier. This IP address is used by the 9926 BBU for the OAM flow. If the
DHCP server feature is deactivated, a technician must enter the OAM IP address at
commissioning time on the 9926 BBU.
The RUC/Fan Tray is programmed at the factory with the relevant serialization
number (NodeB unique identifier). If the DHCP server is used, the serialization
number has been declared as the NE ID for the 9926 BBU. When replacing the
RUC/Fan Tray, the cabinet serialization number must be programmed into the new
RUC/Fan Tray so that there is no impact on the DHCP server. This is done
automatically.

Replacement process

The RUC/Fan Tray and CCM include the eNodeB serial number and eNodeB OAM IP
address in non-volatile memory. The serial number and OAM IP address are used to
identify the eNodeB in the EMS. This redundancy allows either device to be replaced
without losing this information and maintaining communications with EMS.
The RUC/Fan Tray can be found in two basic versions, factory default RUC or
configured RUC. The factory default RUC includes a default serial number that the CCM
recognizes during the RUC replacement process and allows the CCM to reprogram the

stored eNodeB serial number into the RUC. The configured RUC is not recognized
during the RUC replacement process by the CCM or EMS and cannot be reprogrammed
automatically. The eNodeB must then go through a complete reconfiguration.
During the replacement process, the RUC is checked. If the RUC is a factory default
RUC, the RUC serial number is automatically updated from the CCM and the eNodeB is
unlocked and operational. If the RUC is a configured RUC, the EMS receives appropriate
error messages requiring a complete reconfiguration.

Procedure 5-2: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 using NEM


Purpose

This procedure describes how to replace the eCCM-U or eCCM2 in the LTE
Alcatel-Lucent 9926 BBU using NEM.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, CCM indicates the referenced information
applies to both the eCCM-U and eCCM2.
Hot-swap FRU

No
Attention: The CCM hardware is designed to be electronically hot-swappable.
However, the CCM replacement procedure will not work correctly if the CCM is hot
swapped.
This procedure is written requiring the eNodeB must be Locked and power turned
OFF before removing the CCM from the 9926 BBU Sub-Rack.
Intervention time

Perform replacement during low traffic period or maintenance window. If not done
previously, this procedure requires additional preparation time for collecting software
updates for the eNodeB and NEM, MIB and MIM database files, and Customer
Information Sheet (CIS), Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ), or equivalent
transport, and commissioning data from customer network design and engineering
department.
Replacement duration for the CCM using NEM is indicated for the following
arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare - 25 minutes (actual not provided)
From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare - 25 minutes (actual, 15 min)
From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade - 25 minutes (actual, 13 min 40 s)

From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback - 45 minutes (actual


not provided)

The durations are approximate and include full database backup, shutdown, CCM
replacement, power on, software download, activation, acceptance, and full database
restore.

Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade


from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed using NEM.
The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to an eCCM2 or
downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset using NEM before completing the procedure (refer to
Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB IP Security
If IPsec is enabled using digital certificates and the eCCM-U/eCCM2 does not have a
factory installed certificate, then convert the eNodeB to either a non-IPsec configuration
or PreSharedKeys (PSK) configuration.
Reference: Refer to Alcatel-Lucent 9400 LTE Radio Access Network IP Security

Integration Procedure, 9YZ-05817-0012-USZZA, for details.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB full database (DB) backup file


For field personnel, check that the full database (DB) backup of the affected eNodeB is
present and current on the NEM PC.
Before the eCCM-U or eCCM2 field swap, a full database (DB) backup file must be
created. The DB backup includes SNMP data and NETCONF data. This is only done
from a NEM PC connected to the 9926 BBU.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a full database (DB) backup for the site
during installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the
last scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the eNodeB, check
with OMC (SAM) personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during
initial installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the
backup files and copy them to the NEM PC. If the full database (DB) backup is not
available at all, the 9926 BBU will need to be recommissioned during installation of the
new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).

For field and OMC personnel, provide the eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
eNodeB during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from NEM is a
backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM
replacement.
From eNodeB, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From NEM, select Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties
tab.
2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting
OAM addresses), refer to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27), to reset the
OAM addresses. This has to be done at the local cell site using NEM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tools
For field personnel, collect the following tools for this procedure:

NEM PC (LMT) with current NEM software installed

SFP connectors: the eCCM2 supports the same set of SFPs as the eCCM-U.

2.

Alarm connector: if the eCCM2 is to be connected to the RUC faceplate in the same
manner as the eCCM-U, the same cable can be used (3JR22028AC). The eCCM2 connector
replaces some eCCM-U connections (Evolium BCB link for future use) with User Alarms. If
access to User Alarms is required, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.

3.

BH1, BH2, BH3, BH4 connectors: BH1 (OPT1) and BH3 (GE1) are supported. BH2 and
BH4 are not supported (for future enhancements). BH1 is default connection and BH3 is
backup. If BH1 is connected first, a reset is required to enable BH3, even when BH1 is
unplugged.

Check CCM status

Refer to eCCM-U LED status (p. D-1) to determine the status of the CCM using the
status LED matrix and CPRI LEDs.
Before you begin

The CCM can be replaced in one of the following arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare


From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare

From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade


From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback

eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
Replacement procedure overview using 5620 SAM

Attention: Before field personnel can go to the cell site, a number of prerequisite
tasks need to be performed as described in Procedure 5-3.1: Things to do before
going out to the cell site using 5620 SAM (p. 5-50).
This procedure requires a coordinated effort between OMC and the on-site field personnel
to replace the CCM.
The following table illustrates the replacement procedures involved and where the given
steps take place, either at OMC or at the cell site (9926 BBU (eNB)) using 5620 SAM.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Personnel
The procedure requires field and OMC (SAM) personnel. The field personnel (technician)
goes out to the cell site to perform the CCM replacement. The OMC (SAM) personnel
provides operational support for the field personnel during the procedure. The field and
OMC (SAM) personnel should review the replacement procedure together and the role of
each person. The personnel must have direct contact with one another during the
procedure.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Documentation

For OMC (SAM) personnel, must have a copy of the following documents:
Copy of this replacement procedure

Procedure 5-3.1: Things to do before going out to the cell


site using 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and OMC personnel, check NEM release on the NEM PC and SAM client. If
necessary, check LTE release notes for the current NEM release. If NEM PC NEM
software is not current, download and install new release from either Alcatel-Lucent
ALED or customer software repository. See details in 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network
Element Manager (NEM) User Guide for NEM software installation.
Note: In this procedure, NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM procedure. NEM
software must be current with the eNodeB software, e.g., LR13.3.L, if it becomes
necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB software
For field and OMC personnel, have current running eNodeB software.
Check the current running eNodeB software release assigned to the eNodeB from either
software repositories or release notes. If the running eNodeB software is not present on
the NEM PC and SAM client, download the current release(s) from either Alcatel-Lucent
ALED or customer internal software repository.
See Appendix E, Update 9926 BBU software loads to download running eNodeB
software and release notes from ALED. If the customer has an internal software
repository, refer to customer instructions to download the software and release notes to
the NEM PC and SAM client.
Note: In this procedure, loading software from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade
from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed with NEM.
The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to an eCCM2 or
downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset with NEM before completing the procedure (refer to
Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB SNMP MIB backup file


For field and OMC personnel, check that the SNMP MIB backup file of the affected
eNodeB is present and current on the NEM PC and SAM client.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a SNMP MIB backup for the site during
installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the last
scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the eNodeB, check with
the OMC (SAM) personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during
initial installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the

backup files and copy them to the NEM PC and SAM client. If the SNMP MIB is not
available at all, the 9926 BBU will need to be recommissioned during installation of the
new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIB from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
If the eNodeB is operational; an SNMP MIB backup can be created from either OMC or
eNodeB as follows:

From OMC, perform an immediate backup of the SNMP MIB. Refer to 5620 SAM
LTE RAN User Guide, Chapter, NE maintenance, Section, eNodeB backup and
restore, Procedure, To perform an immediate eNodeB backup or restore, for details.
From eNodeB, backup as follows:
1. Open NEM and login.
2. From the main menu, select Configuration > MIB Backup.
3. Click Yes to accept internal SFTP server.
4. Navigate to the folder where backup file is going to be stored.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE the automatically named backup file (*.sdb),
after the backup is completed. The filename of a backup file is incorporated in the
file itself and a consistency check is performed before restoring it.
5. Click Download.
6. Click OK when the download is complete.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB MIM backup file


For field and OMC personnel, provide a MIM backup of the eNodeB from either the
SAM database or a configuration snapshot (refer to 5620 SAM LTE RAN User Guide,
Chapter, Offline configuration, Section, Configuration snapshots, Procedure, To take a
configuration snapshot ). The MIM backup is required to restore the eNodeB if the
current active eNodeB MIM data is unavailable.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIM from NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM
procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and OMC personnel, provide the eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
eNodeB during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from NEM is a
backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM
replacement.
From eNodeB, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From NEM, select Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties
tab.
2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting
OAM addresses), refer to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27), to reset the
OAM addresses. This has to be done at the local cell site with NEM.

Procedure 5-3.4: Install new CCM using 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Refer to eCCM-U LED status (p. D-1), for the following:

If the CCM status appears to be functional, continue with the next step.

If the CCM status does not appear to be functional, check the following:
Verify power is applied to the RUC/Fan Tray, if not, check power coming into the
PDP.
If the CCM does not show a positive sign of operation, replace CCM with this
procedure, Procedure 5-3: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 in 9926 BBU using 5620
SAM (p. 5-40) or contact technical support.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Contact the OMC, check the SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link
Status field, and proceed as follows:

If the OAM Link Status field displays Up, 10-15 minutes after power-up, go to the
following step.
If the OAM Link Status field displays Down, 10-15 minutes after power-up, do one of
the following:
Perform Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) to restore the OAM link at
the cell site (NEM).
If the OAM link cannot be restored, contact technical support.
Note: Observe the following conditions occurring with factory loaded CCMs:

If the factory load flashed on the CCM is older than LR13.1, then the OAM link
status parameter in SAM always displays as DOWN becasue there is no OAM
Link Status and no table in the eNodeB for SAM to read to mark the OAM Link
Status as UP. As a consequence, this parameter status has to be ignored and the
installation has to be continued.
If the factory load flashed on the CCM is at least LR13.1 or newer, the OAM link
status parameter from SAM has to be taken into account.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From OMC: Update/align 5620 SAM and eNodeB software and configuration as
follows:

For aligned software: if 5620 SAM detects an aligned software image and SNMP
IDs between SAM and eNodeB, the following alarm is raised: NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected, go to Procedure 5-3.5: Restore CCM with aligned software
using 5620 SAM (p. 5-62) to align the configuration and then the SW if it is
required.
For mis-aligned software: if 5620 SAM detects a mis-aligned software image
between the expected (in SAM) and actual eNodeB and SNMP IDs, the following
alarms are raised: NodeSoftwareMisalignmentDetected and MediationAuthenticationFailure. Go to Procedure 5-3.6: Restore CCM with mis-aligned
software using 5620 SAM (p. 5-68) to align the software and configuration.

recently synchronized version from the 5620 SAM database as follows:
1. Trigger an NE reconfiguration by right-clicking on an eNodeB in the Equipment tree
or Topology map and choosing Actions > Reconfigure NE from the contextual menu.
A warning dialog box appears.
2. Select the check box in the warning to indicate that you acknowledge the implications
of the action and click on the Yes button. Wait for the reconfigure action to complete.
This may take several minutes.
3. Verify that the NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected alarm is cleared and the
eNodeB returns to a managed state.
The eNodeB reboots. SAM General tab, Site, State field displays Managed after
reboot. SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link Status field displays
Down until reboot is completed.
Note: Reconfiguring the eNodeB database configuration replaces the entire eNodeB

Procedure 6-1: Replace RUC/Fan Tray in MBI cabinet


Purpose

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
To avoid possible deletion of the 9926 BBU database, when replacing a RUC/Fan Tray in
an LTE 9926 BBU, ONLY USE FACTORY NEW RUC/Fan Trays.
When replacing a +24V or -48V RUC/Fan Tray or performing the ECP CN CL2002CB
for the -48V RUC/Fan Tray replacement, never insert a RUC/Fan Tray into a different
eNodeB after its initial use. A new RUC/Fan Tray is programmed with factory default
values that are detected by the eCCM and then reprogrammed for the given site. If a
reprogrammed RUC/Fan Tray spare is removed and installed into another eNodeB, the
controller will remove the site database, rendering the eNodeB inoperable (thus factory
mode).
Contact Alcatel-Lucent Technical Support with any questions.
This procedure describes how to replace the RUC/Fan Tray of a Alcatel-Lucent 9926
BBU, installed in an MBI cabinet.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, RUC/Fan Tray refers to both the RUC/Fan Tray
and RUC/High-Capacity Fan Tray (RUC/HC Fan Tray).
Important! The RUC/Fan Tray includes the network entity identifier (NE ID) for the
9926 BBU. The NE ID is used to identify the 9926 BBU to the network and is used to
obtain the OAM IP address through an optional Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) server or manually. If the DHCP server is activated, the 9926 BBU sends a
request to a DHCP server using an eNodeB unique identifier and the DHCP server
answers with the IP address that had been provisioned associated with this eNodeB
unique identifier. This IP address is used by the 9926 BBU for the OAM flow. If the
DHCP server feature is deactivated, a technician must enter the OAM IP address at
commissioning time on the 9926 BBU.
The RUC/Fan Tray is programmed at the factory with the relevant serialization
number (NodeB unique identifier). If the DHCP server is used, the serialization
number has been declared as the NE ID for the 9926 BBU. When replacing the
RUC/Fan Tray, the cabinet serialization number must be programmed into the new
RUC/Fan Tray so that there is no impact on the DHCP server. This is done
automatically.

Procedure 6-1: Replace RUC/Fan Tray in MBI cabinet

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Required tools

The following tools are required for this procedure:

NEM PC (LMT) with current NEM software installed


RJ45 NEM Test Cable, PN 849145479, see 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network Element
Manager (NEM) User Guide, for details, only Pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 are connected (do
not use standard Ethernet cable, can cause unpredictable reboots)
7 mm and 8 mm sockets or nutdrivers

Socket wrench
Torque wrench (1.1 N-m (10 in-lb) to 1.6 N-m (14 in-lb))
No. 1 Phillips screwdriver
T-Handle (extractor for circuit packs)
T-8 Torx screwdriver

ESD Strap

Replacement process

The RUC/Fan Tray and CCM include the eNodeB serial number and eNodeB OAM IP
address in non-volatile memory. The serial number and OAM IP address are used to
identify the eNodeB in the SAM. This redundancy allows either device to be replaced
without losing this information and maintaining communications with SAM.
The RUC/Fan Tray can be found in two basic versions, factory default RUC or
configured RUC. The factory default RUC includes a default serial number that the CCM
recognizes during the RUC replacement process and allows the CCM to reprogram the
stored eNodeB serial number into the RUC. The configured RUC is not recognized
during the RUC replacement process by the CCM or SAM and cannot be reprogrammed
automatically. The eNodeB must then go through a complete reconfiguration.
During the replacement process, the RUC is checked. If the RUC is a factory default
RUC, the RUC serial number is automatically updated from the CCM and the eNodeB is
unlocked and operational. If the RUC is a configured RUC, the SAM receives appropriate
error messages requiring a complete reconfiguration.
Replacement procedure overview

This procedure requires a coordinated effort between SAM and the on-site technician to
replace the RUC/Fan Tray. The following table illustrates the replacement procedures
involved and where the given step takes place, either from SAM or on-site at MBI cabinet
(MBI).

swapped.
This procedure is written requiring the eNodeB must be Locked and power turned
OFF before removing the CCM from the 9926 BBU Sub-Rack.
Intervention time

Perform replacement during low traffic period or maintenance window. If not done
previously, this procedure requires additional preparation time for collecting software
updates for the MBI (eNodeB) and eNodeB-NEM, MIB and MIM database files, and
Customer Information Sheet (CIS), Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ), or
equivalent transport, and commissioning data from customer network design and
engineering department.
Replacement duration for the CCM using eNodeB-NEM is indicated for the following
arrangements:

From failed eCCM-U to working eCCM-U spare - 25 minutes (actual not provided)

From failed eCCM2 to working eCCM2 spare - 25 minutes (actual, 15 min)


From failed/working eCCM-U to eCCM2 upgrade - 25 minutes (actual, 13 min 40 s)
From failed/working eCCM2 to eCCM-U downgrade/fallback - 45 minutes (actual
not provided)

The durations are approximate and include full database backup, shutdown, CCM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade


from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed using
eNodeB-NEM. The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to
an eCCM2 or downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset using eNodeB-NEM before completing the procedure (refer
to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB IP Security
If IPsec is enabled using digital certificates and the eCCM-U/eCCM2 does not have a
factory installed certificate, then convert the eNodeB to either a non-IPsec configuration
or PreSharedKeys (PSK) configuration.
Reference: Refer to Alcatel-Lucent 9400 LTE Radio Access Network IP Security

Integration Procedure, 9YZ-05817-0012-USZZA, for details.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB full database (DB) backup file


For field personnel, check that the full database (DB) backup of the affected eNodeB is
present and current on the eNodeB-NEM PC.
Before the CCM field swap, a full database (DB) backup file must be created. The DB
backup includes SNMP data and NETCONF data. This is only done from a
eNodeB-NEM PC connected to the 9926 BBU.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a full database (DB) backup for the site
during installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the
last scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the eNodeB, check
with SAM personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during initial
installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the backup
files and copy them to the eNodeB-NEM PC. If the full database (DB) backup is not
available at all, the 9926 BBU will need to be recommissioned during installation of the
new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).

Procedure 6-2.1: Things to do before going out to the cell


site using eNodeB-NEM, in MBI cabinet

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and SAM personnel, provide the eNodeB VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
eNodeB during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from
eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to
complete the CCM replacement.
From MBI, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From eNodeB-NEM, select
Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties tab.

2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting
OAM addresses), refer to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27), to reset the
OAM addresses. This has to be done at the local cell site using eNodeB-NEM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tools
For field personnel, collect the following tools for this procedure:

NEM PC (LMT) with current NEM software installed

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Refer to Appendix E, Update 9926 BBU software loads for the software load
installation procedure. As previously mentioned, the software loads should be
downloaded onto the eNodeB-NEM PC before going to the cell site.
Note: Occasionally, a locally connected eNodeB-NEM PC will lose communication
with an eNodeB after an eNodeB boot. This may happen after the activate operation.
If this occurs, eNodeB-NEM will not be able to return from the activate operation.
The In progress symbol on eNodeB-NEM will continue being displayed, long after
the activate itself should have completed. If this occurs, restart the eNodeB-NEM PC.
When it completes initialization, bring up eNodeB-NEM again on the eNodeB. NEM
should indicate that the eNodeB is in the activate state. Follow the eNodeB-NEM
prompts to accept the new load.
From OMC, For eCCM2, at SAM wait for the following to occur before going to the
next step: ReachabilityProblem/ReachabilityTestFailed alarm clears after
SW update and eNodeB resets.
When completed, go to the following step.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Note: This step restores the full eNodeB database backup file after the CCM has been
replaced. The database includes SNMP data and NETCONF data. This is only done
from a locally connected eNodeB-NEM.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
From MBI, Perform the following steps to restore the full eNodeB database backup file
to the 9926 BBU as follows:
1. Select Configuration > Allocate Configuration Rights.
2. Select Configuration > Full eNodeB DB Restore.
3. Click on the folder icon to display the directories and files available on the system. If
necessary, filter the files with one of the following Files of Type:
*_full_DB_backup.sdb: Only the full DB backup files for the currently connected
eNodeB (default).
All files: All files from the selected directory are displayed.
4. Select the file created during the full DB backup.
5. Click Open.
6. Click OK to restore the selected eNodeB full DB from the code server via file transfer,
or click Cancel to abort the operation.

using 5620 SAM, in MBI cabinet
Overview

The following steps outline information that should be available for the replacement of
the eCCM-U or eCCM2 (CCM). SAM should have this information maintained in
maintenance records to enable efficient repair of the 9926 BBU using 5620 SAM, in MBI
cabinet.
Steps

Perform the following action items before going out to the cell site:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Personnel
The procedure requires field and SAM personnel. The field personnel (technician) goes
out to the cell site to perform the CCM replacement. The SAM personnel provides
operational support to restore 9926 BBU operation. The field and SAM personnel should
review the replacement procedure together and the role of each person. The personnel
must have direct contact with one another during the procedure.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Documentation

For SAM personnel, must have a copy of the following documents:


Copy of this replacement procedure

Procedure 6-3.1: Things to do before going out to the cell


site using 5620 SAM, in MBI cabinet

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

For field and SAM personnel, check eNodeB-NEM release on the eNodeB-NEM PC
and SAM client. If necessary, check LTE release notes for the current eNodeB-NEM
release. If eNodeB-NEM PC eNodeB-NEM software is not current, download and install
new release from either Alcatel-Lucent ALED or customer software repository. See
details in 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network Element Manager (NEM) User Guide for
eNodeB-NEM software installation.
Note: In this procedure, eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM procedure.
eNodeB-NEM software must be current with the 9926 BBU software, e.g., LR13.3.L,
if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

9926 BBU software


For field and SAM personnel, have current running 9926 BBU software.
Check the current running 9926 BBU software release assigned to the 9926 BBU from
either software repositories or release notes. If the running 9926 BBU software is not
present on the eNodeB-NEM PC and SAM client, download the current release(s) from
either Alcatel-Lucent ALED or customer internal software repository.
See Appendix E, Update 9926 BBU software loads to download running 9926 BBU
software and release notes from ALED. If the customer has an internal software
repository, refer to customer instructions to download the software and release notes to
the eNodeB-NEM PC and SAM client.
Note: In this procedure, loading software from eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the 5620
SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Attention: An LA2.0 to LR13.3.L upgrade is not supported on a eCCM-U. Upgrade
from LA2.0.x to LA3.0.x or later, then to LR13.3.L must be performed with
eNodeB-NEM. The upgrade must be performed on the eCCM-U before upgrading to
an eCCM2 or downgrading to an eCCM-U with an LA2.0.x load.
Attention: When an LA3.0.x loaded eCCM-U is upgraded to LR13.3.L, the OAM IP
addresses must be reset with eNodeB-NEM before completing the procedure (refer to
Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) for details).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

9926 BBU SNMP MIB backup file


For field and SAM personnel, check that the SNMP MIB backup file of the affected
9926 BBU is present and current on the eNodeB-NEM PC and SAM client.
Whenever possible, it is best practice to create a SNMP MIB backup for the site during
installation and periodic updates to ensure any changes made to the site since the last
scheduled backup is saved. If the backup cannot be retrieved at the 9926 BBU, check
with the SAM personnel for the latest backup from cell site records (collected during

initial installation). If necessary, consult the SAM administrator for the location of the
backup files and copy them to the eNodeB-NEM PC and SAM client. If the SNMP MIB
is not available at all, the 9926 BBU will need to be recommissioned during installation
of the new CCM (see Appendix F, Recommission 9926 BBU for details).
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIB from eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the
5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
If the 9926 BBU is operational; an SNMP MIB backup can be created from either SAM
or MBI as follows:

From SAM, perform an immediate backup of the SNMP MIB. Refer to 5620 SAM
LTE RAN User Guide, Chapter, NE maintenance, Section, eNodeB backup and
restore, Procedure, To perform an immediate eNodeB backup or restore, for details.
From MBI, backup as follows:
1. Open eNodeB-NEM and login.
2. From the main menu, select Configuration > MIB Backup.
3. Click Yes to accept internal SFTP server.
4. Navigate to the folder where backup file is going to be stored.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE the automatically named backup file (*.sdb),
after the backup is completed. The filename of a backup file is incorporated in the
file itself and a consistency check is performed before restoring it.
5. Click Download.
6. Click OK when the download is complete.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

9926 BBU MIM backup file


For field and SAM personnel, provide a MIM backup of the 9926 BBU from either the
SAM database or a configuration snapshot (refer to 5620 SAM LTE RAN User Guide,
Chapter, Offline configuration, Section, Configuration snapshots, Procedure, To take a
configuration snapshot ). The MIM backup is required to restore the 9926 BBU if the
current active 9926 BBU MIM data is unavailable.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the MIM from eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the
5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to complete the CCM replacement.
Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.

For field and SAM personnel, provide the 9926 BBU VLAN 0 transport properties from
cell site records (collected during initial installation) in case the information is lost on the
9926 BBU during the replacement procedure.
Note: In this procedure, restoring the VLAN 0 transport properties from
eNodeB-NEM is a backup to the 5620 SAM procedure, if it becomes necessary to
complete the CCM replacement.
From MBI, if operational, copy the VLAN 0 Transport Properties as follows:
1. From eNodeB-NEM, select
Root View > Vlan 0 Properties > VLAN 0 Transport Properties tab.

2. Do a Print Screen of the VLAN 0 Transport Properties and save the screen capture.
Important! If the OAM communications between 5620 SAM and 9926 BBU has
failed or must be updated because of a software upgrade (update before resetting
OAM addresses), refer to Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27), to reset the
OAM addresses. This has to be done at the local cell site with eNodeB-NEM.

If the CCM does not show a positive sign of operation, replace CCM with this
procedure, Procedure 6-3: Replace eCCM-U or eCCM2 using 5620 SAM, in
MBI cabinet (p. 6-40) or contact technical support.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Contact the SAM, check the SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link
Status field, and proceed as follows:

If the OAM Link Status field displays Up, 10-15 minutes after power-up, go to the
following step.
If the OAM Link Status field displays Down, 10-15 minutes after power-up, do one of
the following:
Perform Procedure F-5: Set OAM Routing (p. F-27) to restore the OAM link at
the cell site (eNodeB-NEM).
If the OAM link cannot be restored, contact technical support.
Note: Observe the following conditions occurring with factory loaded CCMs:

If the factory load flashed on the CCM is older than LR13.1, then the OAM link
status parameter in SAM always displays as DOWN becasue there is no OAM
Link Status and no table in the eNodeB for SAM to read to mark the OAM Link
Status as UP. As a consequence, this parameter status has to be ignored and the
installation has to be continued.
If the factory load flashed on the CCM is at least LR13.1 or newer, the OAM link
status parameter from SAM has to be taken into account.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From SAM: Update/align 5620 SAM and eNodeB software and configuration as
follows:

For aligned software: if 5620 SAM detects an aligned software image and SNMP

Procedure 6-3.6: Restore CCM with mis-aligned software


using 5620 SAM, in MBI cabinet

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Verify that the Upgrade State in the Global Status tab displays Accept Complete.
Following the successful software replacement, the 5620 SAM clears the
NodeSoftwareMisalignmentDetected alarm and raises the
NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected alarm to remind operators to reconfigure the
NE.
Go to the following step.
Reference: Refer to, Chapter, NE maintenance, Procedure, To monitor software

upgrade status, for details.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Important! If a downgrade from the eCCM2 (new hardware) to the eCCM-U (old
hardware) is done, ensure the database is operationally compatible with the eCCM-U
capabilities (activated functions, capacity, number of cells, etc.) before installing the
eCCM-U. If database support is needed, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support.
From SAM: Perform an NE reconfiguration replace the eNodeB MIM with the most
recently synchronized version from the 5620 SAM database as follows:
1. Trigger an NE reconfiguration by right-clicking on an eNodeB in the Equipment tree
or Topology map and choosing Actions > Reconfigure NE from the contextual menu.
A warning dialog box appears.
2. Select the check box in the warning to indicate that you acknowledge the implications
of the action and click on the Yes button. Wait for the reconfigure action to complete.
This may take several minutes.
3. Verify that the NodeDatabaseCorruptionDetected alarm is cleared and the
eNodeB returns to a managed state.
The eNodeB reboots. SAM General tab, Site, State field displays Managed after
reboot. SAM General tab, ENB Base Configuration, OAM Link Status field displays
Down until reboot is completed.
Note: Reconfiguring the eNodeB database configuration replaces the entire eNodeB
MIM, regardless of the existing configuration on the NE. The procedure can trigger a
full or partial eNodeB reset, which is service-affecting.
Reference: Refer to, Chapter, Troubleshooting, Procedure, To reconfigure an eNodeB

database configuration, for details.

to for details.
The 9926 BBU must have a minimum of one bCEM (one sector) for one sector operation.
Up to two additional bCEMs can be added to the 9926 BBU for six sector operation.
Steps

Perform the following procedure to install an bCEM in an open 9926 BBU modem slot.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Slide bCEM into the slot and secure with two mounting screws. Verify LED status on the
CEMs, CCM, and RFMs (TRDU or RRH). For LED status, refer to Appendix D, LED
status for details.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Perform one of the following:

Check that the bCEM LEDs show normal operation (Green LED on, Red LED off).
The bCEM should reset automatically when power is applied. Installation complete.

If at initial power up, the bCEM LEDs (Green LED on, Red LED on) do not change
after 5 minutes and the bCEM does not reset, perform the following steps to manually
reset the bCEM:
1. Physically connect the NEM PC to the CCM PORT1 with a RJ45 NEM Test
Cable or contact OMC to connect to the 9926 BBU remotely.
For RJ45 NEM Test Cable details, refer to 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network

Procedure 7-1: Install a new bCEM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If the bCEM does not restore to enabled state, repeat steps or replace failed
bCEM.
Result: Once the bCEM is inserted in one of the modem slots, the 9926 BBU OAM

detects the bCEM and proceeds to verify if it has the correct software; if the bCEM
does not have the correct software, the 9926 BBU OAM proceeds to update the
bCEM software. Once the bCEM has the correct software; the bCEM is initialized
and if it passes initialization, the operational state is set to enabled. The bCEM is
ready to support LTE cells.
Reference: Refer to 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network Element Manager (NEM) User

Guide, Chapter, State Management, Section, Managed Objects , Sub-Section,

Procedure 7-2: Remove existing bCEM


Purpose

This procedure describes how to remove a bCEM with minimum loss of service.
Carefully read the procedure and understand the interactions in the system before
proceeding.
Since it is not known which LTE cells are supported on which bCEM, all LTE cells
should be locked before removing the bCEM, or just remove the bCEM. If just removed,
the 9926 BBU OAM process detects the bCEM is no longer available; changes the
operational state of the BB MO associated with the bCEM to disable if it is not already
set to disable. When the BB MO is set to disable, the LTE cells supported on this BB
MO is set to disable as well.
Steps

LTE cell creation


Purpose

This section describes how a cell is created for the eNodeB.


Overview

The LTE cell represents the cell supported by the local eNodeB. The eNodeB OAM
consists of the Call Processing XML domain that allows the operator to configure cells,
S1 and X2 communication links, Radio Trace sessions and other related parameters. For
this task the operator can use the wizard featured in the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS. With
the cell creation a new set of channels is proposed for UL and DL.

Definitions

The following terms are used in this procedure:

Cell MO represents one LTE carrier on a sector in the eNodeB. A cell is supported by
a BB and a Sector. The BB generates a digital signal based on the configuration
parameters associated with the Cell. The digital signal generated by the BB is fed to
the RFM that supports the Sector associated with the Cell.
X2 MO represents the X2-C control plane connection to an adjacent eNodeB in the
LTE network. An eNodeB can have X2-C connections to multiple adjacent eNodeBs.
The X2-U user plane connections to adjacent eNodeBs are not monitored by this MO.
S1 MO represents the S1-C control plane connection to a peer MME in the LTE
network. An eNodeB can have S1-C connections to multiple MMEs. The S1-U user
plane connections to MMEs or SGWs are not monitored by this MO.
Baseband Board (BB or bCEM) represents the hardware unit that supports the
baseband processing function. In this release, each bCEM can be mapped up to three
sectors. A second or third bCEM can be added for multi-band and/or multi-carrier
configurations.
Carrier (or Controller) Board (CB, eCCM-U or eCCM2) represents the
motherboard on the D2U. CB is a container object that represents all the components
housed on the motherboard such as the CPU that runs the OAM and Call Processing
control software, the Network Processing Unit, CPRI switch, GigE switch, SRIO
switch, compact flash, optional oscillator, optional GPS receiver and various other
devices.
Radio Frequency Module (RFM) represents the RRH, TRDU, or R-OCM. The
RFM uses the CPRI interface to communicate with the BBU via the CPRI ports on
the eCCM-U.

LTE cell creation process

During LTE cell creation, the operator has to use the algorithm of centralized PCI
implemented in the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS in order to allocate the PCI to the cell.
Centralized automatic allocation of PCI is one of the SON features. It consists of
generating, from the OAM system, a PCI value for each cell and ensuring its uniqueness
with respect to the neighbor cells and the neighbor's neighbor cells.
During creation at the cell level, the concerned eNodeB equipment can require a reset
operation. Creation only requires a reset if Class A objects or parameters were created,
deleted, or modified.

Procedure 9-2.2: Export a single workorder to 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Procedure 9-2.2: Export a single workorder to 5620 SAM


Overview

This procedure describes how to export a workorder.


Important! When exporting a single workorder in CM XML format, the
Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS creates a _reverse.xwo workorder file. If the activation of
the workorder leads to a problem in the live network, the reverse workorder can be
used to restore the network back to its initial state. Thus, Alcatel-Lucent recommends
using this procedure to provide an easy way to restore the network.

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
Inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for network elements may cause a service
disruption.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that all workorders be merged into one workorder prior to
exporting to live network elements. Once you have exported a simple workorder, the
exported workorder might contain inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for a live
network element. Exporting a workorder will create a _reverse.xwo workorder file that
can be used to restore the live network to its initial state.
Steps

Perform the following procedure to export the workorder to 5620 SAM.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS main window, select the Workorders tab.
Result: The workorders tree is displayed.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Select the workorder to export from the Workorders sub-tree.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From either the context-sensitive functions menu (right-click) or Workorders menu, select
Export workorder and on live server repository
Important! The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS) backup
function does not save Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (9952 WPS) workorders and a full
5620 SAM restore removes the workorders from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
server. If needed, the user must save workorders on the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC
then retransfer them from the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC to the Alcatel-Lucent
5620 SAM server.

Procedure 11-2.2: Export single workorder to 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Procedure 11-2.2: Export single workorder to 5620 SAM


Overview

This procedure describes how to export a workorder.


Important! When exporting a single workorder in CM XML format, the
Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS creates a _reverse.xwo workorder file. If the activation of
the workorder leads to a problem in the live network, the reverse workorder can be
used to restore the network back to its initial state. Thus, Alcatel-Lucent recommends
using this procedure to provide an easy way to restore the network, if necessary.

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
Inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for network elements may cause a service
disruption.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that all workorders be merged into one workorder prior to
exporting to live network elements. Once you have exported a simple workorder, the
exported workorder might contain inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for a live
network element. Exporting a workorder will create a _reverse.xwo workorder file that
can be used to restore the live network to its initial state.
Steps

Perform the following procedure to export the workorder to 5620 SAM.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS main window, select the Workorders tab.
Result: The workorders tree is displayed.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Select the workorder to export from the Workorders sub-tree.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From either the context-sensitive functions menu (right-click) or Workorders menu, select
Export workorder and on live server repository
Important! The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS) backup
function does not save Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (9952 WPS) workorders and a full
5620 SAM restore removes the workorders from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
server. If needed, the user must save workorders on the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC
then retransfer them from the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC to the Alcatel-Lucent
5620 SAM server.

Configure
9926 BBU for
Multi-Carrier, Multi-Band
Operation (Commercial
Carrier Aggregation (CA))

Overview
Purpose

This chapter describes how to configure a Alcatel-Lucent 9926 BBU for multi-carrier,
multi-band operation, such as Commercial Carrier Aggregation (CA). This procedure
requires up to three bCEMs, assuming a bCEMP1.1 is already installed and operational.
Commercial Carrier Aggregation (CA)

When CA is planned for a future update but disabled, one or three bCEMs can be
installed with the third bCEM locked (disabled) from an earlier upgrade. It is normal in an
eNodeB with eCCM-U in LR13.3 and Commercial Carrier Aggregation (CA) disabled.
This is because in LR13.3, OAM-C is controlling the number of HSIQs assigned per
bCEM and it makes sure the total of 6 HSIQs in eCCM-u is not exceeded. When CA is
enabled, bCEM1, bCEM2 and bCEM3 get 2 HSIQs each. When CA is disabled, bCEM1
and bCEM2 get 3 HSIQ each, while bCEM3 gets no (zero) HSIQ. In this case the 3rd
bCEM should be locked. When in LR14.1 with CA enabled the bCEM should be
unlocked.
Note: All three bCEMs must be unlocked before the Carrier Aggregation feature is
activated.
Refer to, 9400 LTE RAN Feature Activation Procedure, for activation procedure, list
the parameters to activate and configure, and list prerequisites before mapping cells.

Procedure 12-2.2: Export single workorder to 5620 SAM

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Procedure 12-2.2: Export single workorder to 5620 SAM


Overview

This procedure describes how to export a workorder.


Important! When exporting a single workorder in CM XML format, the 9952 WPS
creates a _reverse.xwo workorder file. If the activation of the workorder leads to a
problem in the live network, the reverse workorder can be used to restore the network
back to its initial state. Thus, Alcatel-Lucent recommends using this procedure to
provide an easy way to restore the network, if necessary.

NOTICE
Service-disruption hazard
Inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for network elements may cause a service
disruption.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that all workorders be merged into one workorder prior to
exporting to live network elements. Once you have exported a simple workorder, the
exported workorder might contain inconsistent (or unset) attribute values for a live
network element. Exporting a workorder will create a _reverse.xwo workorder file that
can be used to restore the live network to its initial state.
Steps

Perform the following procedure to export the workorder to 5620 SAM.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS main window, select the Workorders tab.
Result: The workorders tree is displayed.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Select the workorder to export from the Workorders sub-tree.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

From either the context-sensitive functions menu (right-click) or Workorders menu, select
Export workorder and on live server repository
Important! The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS) backup
function does not save Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM (9952 WPS) workorders and a full
5620 SAM restore removes the workorders from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
server. If needed, the user must save workorders on the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC
then retransfer them from the Alcatel-Lucent 9952 WPS PC to the Alcatel-Lucent
5620 SAM server.

General

The following tables highlight the latest versions of 9926 BBU tools and software
required to update the software loads on the eCCM-U. All of the specified items can be
downloaded from ALED.
Required NEM software

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent LTE eNodeB Macro and Metro Products LR13.3.L FDD
Release Notes, 9YZ-05817-0001-FMZZA, for information on the software deliverables
supported in LR13.3 for NEM.
Refer to 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB Network Element Manager (NEM) User Guide, for
instructions to install the NEM software.
Note: Review the following information about NEM:

Unlike RMT, NEM supports multiple 9926 BBU software loads, so 9926 BBU
software is not packaged with NEM and must be downloaded separately. Keep
previous loads in case a fallback to a previous release is required.

The NEM installation program does not remove the old version of NEM, but
because each NEM creates its own folder there are no issues with keeping
multiple versions on a laptop.
The Java software needed to run NEM is loaded along with the application.

Hardware Requirements
Overview

Check the eNodeB for the following LR13.x required components and settings:

The control board is type eCCM. Hardware variant of the eCCM module:
Enhanced sync eCCM (3JR20073CA/CB):
With eNodeB power ON, the two left-most LEDs of the top row (CMA) will be
lit. All the LEDs in the SYNC row should be lit green to indicate clock
synchronization.
GPS: All the LEDs in the SYNC row should be lit green to indicate GPS lock. If
these are red, there is a problem. The NEM will not connect. Check the GPS
antenna or splitter cable to determine possible loss of GPS signal.
1588 V2 synchronization: When this feature is on, synchronization comes from
packets delivered from an external server using the two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The eNodeB automatically discovers the 1588 server addresses. In case of failure
of the master server, the eNodeB is able to resynchonize with the secondary
server. If synchronization fails with both servers, the eNodeB provides alarms and
then switches to the internal clock or other source.
Reference: Refer to the 9400 LTE RAN eNodeB 1588 V2 Synchronization
Reconfiguration Procedure for details.
Note 1: The choice of clock source is defined from the 5620 SAM after
commissioning. The option chosen and its status are then displayable from the
NEM.
Note 2: There is an eCCM variant equipped with enhanced OCXO (that is,
oscillator) that provides hold-over capability in case of a clock synchronization
failure. During this major alarm, the eCCM functions in free-running mode
(displayable from the NEM Clock Properties tab), using the OXCO for
synchronization. A critical alarm is raised when the frequency hold-over is within
12 hours of exceeding the OCXO capabilities. Another critical alarm is raised
when the OCXO capability is reached and RF transmission is terminated.

The modem board is type bCEM.


There is a single hardware variant of the bCEM:

Up to three bCEMs can be installed in the eNodeB.


Does not support dual technology
From the top of the faceplate, LED1 (red or off) and LED 2 (green or off) indicate
the board status. LED3 is the application marker (green = LTE, orange =
WCDMA). LED4 indicates board action (blinking or fixed).

Requirements

Hardware Requirements

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The eNodeB can be equipped with an optional Receiver Diversity Expansion Module
(RDEM) installed with an RRH2x. The RDEM adds two receive RF paths (that is,
antenna ports Rx3 and Rx4) to the RRH2x. Note: This feature provides just the hardware.
The software for the RDEM is not yet supported.
Once the software is supported, the RDEM will support the following:

The RDEM allows the eNodeB to support LTE cells in a 2X4 MIMO configuration or
LTE cells configured to use a 2X2 operating mode.
The RDEM makes the RRH2x hardware-ready to support two sectors in a 1X2 SIMO
configuration (that is, 1 Tx Path and two Rx Paths). The cells assigned to an RRH2x
is this configuration must be in the same frequency band.
The RDEM becomes an integral part of the RRH2x. It is not seen as a new object in
the OAM model.
The Rx paths supported by the RDEM will not have TMAs.

RRH2x software supports Tx and Rx VSWR tests.


Verification of the Rx3 and Rx4 cable connectivity is provided.

LTE and CDMA Baseband Unit (BBU) operations are possible on the same RRH/TRDU.
Each CDMA/LTE Multi-Standard Radio Equipment (MSRE) has a direct connection to
each BBU. Configurations may include daisy-chained MSREs. In this case only the last
MSRE in the chain is connected to LTE and the other MSREs in the chain support
CDMA only and are managed only by the CDMA management system.
Note: The LTE BBUs configured in this manner are commissioned in a manner
similar to other LTE BBUs, except that an LTE BBU at the end of a daisy-chain will
have the RFM Control Mode parameter on an RRH/TRDU RFM Table set to
Secondary instead of the default setting of Standalone. The RFM Control Mode
cannot be Primary for LTE.

Software Requirements
eNodeB software

For the current LTE RAN software updates, refer to the Alcatel-Lucent LTE eNodeB
Macro and Metro Products LR13.3.L FDD Release Notes, for details.
To update the eNodeB LTE RAN software from 5620 SAM, refer to 5620 SAM LTE RAN
User Guide, Chapter, NE maintenance, for details.
The eNodeB software can be downloaded to the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM or NEM PC
from the Alcatel-Lucent Electronic Delivery (ALED) website. Refer to Appendix E,
Update 9926 BBU software loads for the eNodeB software download procedure.

Overview

This procedure describes the recommissioning scenario for provisioned eNodeBs using a
local NEM and a delta work order to recommission the alpha parameters on the eNodeB.
This procedure is applicable to eNodeBs with a fixed IP address. It also supports
recommissioning of IPsec on the OAM interface.
Note: The delta WO option is only available for LR13.3 and later eNodeBs.
Required alpha parameters for delta work order

The following table lists the alpha parameters needed when using the delta work order
scenario with the NEM Commissioning Wizard. Use the appropriate list based on the
eNodeB software and the OAM IP version. The following data must be obtained prior to
delta work order commissioning. Delta WO also contains IPsec parameters, if IPsec is
enabled, on the OAM interface

Procedure F-3: Recommission provisioned eNodeB on-site with


full snapshot file
Overview

This procedure describes the recommissioning scenario for provisioned eNodeBs using a
local NEM and a full snapshot file (full work order) to recommission the entire database
on the eNodeB. This procedure is applicable to eNodeBs with a fixed IP address. It
supports recommissioning of IPsec and other special configurations on the OAM
interface.
Pre-conditions

Verify the following conditions have been accomplished:

eNodeB is installed but backhaul cable is disconnected.


IPsec is used on the OAM interface.
eNodeB is not managed by EMS
eNodeB has factory certificate installed

SeGW is properly provisioned for this eNodeB


eNodeB is provisioned, not PnP; OAM link parameters are provisioned in the eNodeB
DB, not obtained from PnP mechanisms such as DHCP or DNS.
eNodeB running software version and snapshot file use the same MIM version as the
target software version configured on EMS for this eNodeB. See SAM restriction #1.

SAM restriction #1: If software upgrade is checked, the software replacement is only
executed if the running software version on the eNodeB uses the same MIM version
as the target software version configured on the EMS. This restriction will be
removed in SAM 12.0 R5 (LR14.3).

A snapshot file in the proper format for this eNodeB has been imported into the NEM.
Snapshot contains the complete eNodeB database including eNodeBEquipment::uniqueName set to the correct unique name of this eNodeB.
Snapshot has the OAM Link Parameters set as follows:

ipConfigAutomatic is provisioned to False


eNodeB OAM inner and outer IP address, subnet and gateway are provisioned
eNodeB OAM Vlan ID is provisioned

Candidate EMS IP addresses and ports are provisioned


SeGW IP address and all other necessary IPsec parameters are provisioned

Procedure F-4: Recommission Plug-n-Play eNodeB with self


commissioning

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Procedure F-4: Recommission Plug-n-Play eNodeB with self


commissioning
Overview

This procedure describes the recommissioning scenario for Plug-n-Play eNodeBs using
automated PnP mechanisms and self commissioning to obtain the alpha parameters for
the eNodeB. This procedure is applicable to PnP eNodeBs managed by serial number.
Starting in LR13.1, a newly installed eNodeB is able to contact the EMS and establish the
OAM link without on-site provisioning using plug-n-play (PnP) mechanisms. In the most
likely plug-n-play scenario (shown below), the eNodeB is DHCP-enabled and the
eNodeB OAM Inner and Outer IP addresses and the Security Gateway and Candidate
EMS IP addresses are discovered using PnP mechanisms.
The operator must pre-provision the eNodeB configuration, including the eNodeB serial
number, in the EMS. eNodeB establishes the initial OAM link by sending a Hello
message with its serial number to the EMS.
For eNodeBs identified by serial number, it is imperative that the OAM link port
configured in the EMS matches the OAM link port obtained by the eNodeB during PnP
procedures. If eNodeB obtains Candidate EMSs from DHCP, eNodeB receives both IP
addresses and ports. If eNodeB obtains Candidate EMSs from DNS, eNodeB only
receives IP addresses, no ports, and so it uses default port 162 in this case. Two Use Cases
are described below: (1) EMS and eNodeB OAM Link ports match and (2) EMS and
eNodeB OAM Link ports mismatch.
Pre-conditions

Verify the following conditions have been accomplished:

Factory pre-provisioning of OAM Link Parameters has occurred in eNodeB if


necessary.

Factory certificate has been installed in eNodeB


DHCP and DNS servers have been provisioned with OAM Link Parameters if
necessary
eNodeB OAM IP address is assigned by PnP mechanisms

eNodeB OAM IP address is not managed in EMS for another eNodeB; assigned IP
address must be a new IP address
eNodeB is not managed in EMS
eNodeB basicMibVersion > 1
eNodeB is on LR13.1 or later release
eNodeB running software version uses the same MIM version as the target software
version configured on EMS. See SAM restriction #1.

SAM restriction #1: If software upgrade is checked, the software replacement is only
executed if the running software version on the eNodeB uses the same MIM version
as the target software version configured on the EMS. This restriction will be
removed in SAM 12.0 R5 (LR14.3).

Operator has directed EMS to manage eNodeB based on its serial number
eNodeB configuration is pre-provisioned in EMS with OAMInterface.provisionedeNodeBIdentifier is set to eNodeB serial number
EMS has Self Config Policy set for this eNodeB with the following checked:
Auto Start

Administrative Enable

Managing EMS is not registered in the eNodeB


eNodeB is installed and powered on

eNodeB managed by serial number and OAM ports match

The following steps describe how the eNodeB is managed by using the eNodeB serial
number and matching OAM ports.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB boots up on LR13.1 or later release.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB initiates OAM Link establishment.


1. eNodeB determines the OAM Link Parameters to use. In this case, for the most part
they are discovered using PnP mechanisms.
2. eNodeB sets up OAM IPsec tunnel if enabled.
3. eNodeB sends Hello messages to Candidate EMS IP addresses and ports obtained
from PnP procedures. EMS and eNodeB OAM Link ports must match for the
Managing EMS to receive the Hello message.
4. Managing EMS receives Hello message.
5. EMS determines if it is the Managing EMS for the eNodeB.
6. Managing EMS opens the OAM link using the eNodeBs OAM IP address in the
Hello message and registers itself as the Managing EMS.

EMS sets its FM IP addresses and ports in snmpTargetAddressTable. eNodeB


sends FM notifications (alarms, states, events, OCN) to the EMS addresses and
ports in snmpTargetAddressTable.
EMS sets its OAM Link IP addresses and ports in emsActiveAddressTable.

7. EMS begins link monitoring and sends first valid new Heartbeat message to eNodeB
to SNMP port 161.
eNodeB sends OAM Link Opened messages to Candidate EMS IP addresses and
ports obtained from PnP procedures. EMS and eNodeB OAM Link ports must
match for the Candidate EMS to receive the OAM Link Opened message.
eNodeB sends Heartbeat LinkUp response to the active Managing EMS at the
address and port in emsActiveAddressTable.
eNodeB begins link monitoring.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

EMS automatically downloads and activates the eNodeB software according to the self
configuration policy. See SAM restrictions #1 and #2.
SAM restriction #1: If software upgrade is checked, the software replacement is only
executed if the running software version on the eNodeB uses the same MIM version as
the target software version configured on the EMS. This restriction will be removed in
SAM 12.0 R5 (LR14.3).
SAM restriction #2: If software upgrade is checked, and the MIM versions are the same,
SAM always performs software replacement even if the running software version on
eNodeB matches the target software version configured on SAM. This is a problem
because if the target software version is already on the eNodeB, the software download
will fail, causing the self configuration procedure to fail. This problem will be corrected
in SAM 12.0 R5 (LR14.3) when SAM complies with the requirement to perform
automatic software replacement only if software upgrade is checked and if the running
software version on the eNodeB does not match the target software version configured on
SAM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

EMS automatically configures the eNodeB DB using the pre-provisioned WO according


to the self configuration policy.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

eNodeB resets and configures itself as specified in the eNodeB configuration. eNodeB
and EMS execute the OAM link re-establishment scenario.

eNodeB sets up OAM IPsec tunnel if enabled. If the SeGW IP address or FQDN has
been changed in the eNodeB configuration, eNodeB sets up the IPsec tunnel to the
new Serving SeGW.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

If the CMS information has been provisioned, eNodeB contacts the CMS to obtain the
operator certificate.
1. eNodeB resets and eNodeB and EMS execute OAM link re-establishment scenario.
2. eNodeB sets up IPsec tunnel using operator certificate.

Post-conditions

The following post-conditions are established.

OAM Link is established.


eNodeB is running LR13 or later software provisioned in EMS.
eNodeB is running the configuration provisioned in EMS.
eNodeB is managed by IP address in EMS.

eNodeB managed by serial number and OAM ports mismatch

If the EMS and eNodeB OAM Link ports do not match for a new eNodeB using serial
number as the identity, then the eNodeB cant be discovered by the Managing EMS from
the Hello messages. If the eNodeB is using DHCP or provisioning to obtain the Candidate
EMS IP addresses and ports, this situation can be remedied by correcting the ports in the
DHCP entry or correcting the provisioned data in ProvisionedEmsAddressData.emsOAMLinkInitPort.
However, if the Candidate EMS IP addresses are obtained from DNS, DNS can not return
ports in its response. Therefore the eNodeB uses the default port of 162 as the OAM Link
port. To discover and manage an eNodeB in this situation either (1) the operator has to
use the previous mechanism based on a static pre-provisioned OAM IP address as the
eNodeB identity or (2) in order to use automatic or dynamic IP addressing, the Managing
EMS must be installed with the default OAM Link port of 162.
