Chapter 1
Overview
Functions of Fault Management
The fault management system collects fault information from all the NEs in the managed
network in near real-time, such as boards, links, databases, and servers, and then
displays the collected fault information in the format of alarm or notification. The fault
management system helps the system administrator quickly locate and resolve faults
in the managed network. It also provides telecom operators, network management
departments, and equipment vendors with correct and timely alarm data to ensure stable
network operations.
Fault Indication
The fault management system indicates a fault or event occurring in the network in the
form of alarm or notification.
l
A fault is indicated in the form of alarm when it persists and affects the reliability
and services of the system. An alarm will be cleared only after the fault is resolved.
Immediate troubleshooting is required when alarms occur.
A notification indicates a non-repeatable or instantaneous fault or event in the
system, for example, board reset and signaling overload. Such a fault or event is
normally caused by a sudden environment change or other accidental factors. No
special handling is required because the fault or event causing a notification can be
automatically handled by the system. However, a frequently-reported notification
requires troubleshooting.
Alarm Format
The alarms defined for the ZXG10 iBSCare provided with the information such as property
and possible causes. For details, refer to Table 1-1.

Description
Alarm severity
There are four alarm severity levels, which are indicated in descending order
of severity as Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning.
l
The impact degree described in the definition of alarm severity refers to the
impact on a single index, for example, reliability or security. Once the impact
on any index reaches the specified threshold, the severity level of the alarm
can be roughly determined. If an alarm has an impact on multiple indices, its
severity level should be escalated accordingly.
Alarm Type
Based on the triggering condition and system impact, alarms can be classified
into the following five types:

Name:
All high-speed links between line card and switching boards are out of
synchronization
Alarm severity:
Critical
Alarm type:
Equipment Alarm
Alarm Description
All HSSLS between line card and switching boards are out of synchronization
Alarm Cause
1. The configuration of the PSN type is inconsistent with the actual used of PSN type
2. PSN hardware is abnormal.
3. GLI/TLIV hardware is faulty.
3-1
SJ-20140527134815-015|2015-03-31 (R1.1)
Impact
1. All services on the equipment are down if the alarm is caused by Cause 1 or Cause 2.
2. All services on the line card are affected if the alarm is caused by Cause 3. If the service is not
configured in master/slave or load sharing mode, all services on the line card will be down. If the
service is configured in master/slave or load sharing mode, all services on the line card will soon be
restored after being down temporarily.
Action
1. Check whether PSN board reboots repeatedly. If yes, Check whether the PSN board type
configured is consistent with the PSN board type actually in use.
If inconsistent (for example, the configured board type is PSN4V and the board type actually in use is
PSN8V), modify board type configuration or replace the board actually in use to keep consistency
between board configuration and the board in use.
If consistent, PSN board hardware might be faulty. In this case, replace PSN board.
2. If the alarm occurs in line card, check if the same alarm occurs in other line card(s) located in the
same shelf with the faulty line card.
If the same alarm occurs in all other line cards, PSN board might be faulty. Reboot PSN board and
check if the line card alarms are restored. If alarms are not restored, replace PSN board.
If merely the line card where this alarm occurs reboots repeatedly, replace the board where the
alarm is generated.

Chapter 3 Alarms
Impact
UIMC/GUIM/CHUB GCS sub-card functions abnormally. Packets may be lost, and even worse, link
disconnection may occur on the control planes of some boards. For active/standby configuration,
there are two cases:
1. If the active board is abnormal while the standby board is normal, the system performs
active/standby switchover. Thus, the standby board takes over the services of the faulty active
board. In this case, the service is not affected.
2. If both the active and standby boards are abnormal, active/standby switchover is forbidden. In this
case, the service is interrupted because the faulty board cannot restore to the normal status.
Action
1. Check the sub-card connection on the board. If the sub-card is loosely inserted, tightly insert it and
wait for the board to be powered on.
2. Replace the sub-card.

3-16
SJ-20140527134815-015|2015-03-31 (R1.1)
Chapter 3 Alarms
Impact
Be usually determined as hardware fault, which affects system clock. It might lead to the system
clock loss and system synchronization failure.
When system clock loss/offset occurs, its subsequent impact on service is described below.
1.For TDM transmission, all links based on the TDM transmission medium (including the transmission
link currently in service for UE and cell transmission link) are affected. Packet loss might occur on
these links, leading to degradation of service quality. In the case of serious packet loss, service
interruption and handover failure will occur. Even worse, the cell might be out of service.
2.For non-TDM transmission (for example, IP transmission), Iub interface service is affected, while
Iur interface and Iu interface services are not affected. The clock that Node B derives from RNC
via IEEE1588 is inaccurate.
When RNC clock frequency offset is no more than 0.05 ppm, Node B synchronization will not fail, but
success rate of inter-RNC inter-Node B soft handover might fall.
When RNC clock frequency offset exceeds 0.5 ppm, Node B will fail to lock the clock. In this case,
Node B will oscillate freely and success rate of inter-Node B soft handover might fall.
Action
On NMS fault management interface, view alarm Details where Error type information is given.
Locate the corresponding alarm Action according to the error type.
The alarm Actions that correspond to the error types are described below.
1.Type A Fault on Board (GPS) Phase-lock Equipment

Chapter 3 Alarms
Impact
CPU occupancy indicates the current status of system operation. CPU overloaded, or over high
occupancy, is usually caused by service or operation that consume much time.
It has the following impact on the system:
Services with low priority level have little or no access to the processing of CPU, which reduces
processing speed of the services or even halts the processing.
System board could reset under excessively overloading conditions, causing interruption to the
service it performs.
Action
1. Open the rack map on the Configuration Management window, select Board, right click and select
Board Property. Check the CPU overload threshold setting on the CPU Information tab. Please reset
CPU overload threshold if the CPU overload threshold value is too low. It will take 30 seconds for
the new setting to take effect.
Recommended threshold value: 80% for low level load threshold, 90% for high level load threshold.
2. Check for the record of data synchronization, data saving or other file operations in the network
manager log files. Those operations might increase the CPU utilization rate radically, and it might
take 2 minutes.
3. Check for the record of new board added or version upgrade operation in the network manager

Alarm Cause
1. Connection failure.
2. Line failure.
3. Board failure.
4. Rear board failure.
Impact
There is no impact on services when TRUNK connection is not adopted for inter-shelf control plane
communication. However if TRUNK connection is adopted, this alarm indicates insufficient network
communication capability. This may cause congestion at control plane. During heavy traffic period,
this may cause much delay or services interruption in extreme condition.
Action
1. Check whether TRUNK connection is used for inter-shelf control plane. If not, no handling
is required.
2. Check the number of connections, i.e. 4 FEs and 2 GEs are required. Complete the connections if
there is any missing.
3. Check whether the connection is correct.
The correct connection is described as below:
For FE port trunk, if UIM board is installed on BUSN shelf, then TRUNK connection is not supported.
In this case, this alarm won't occur. If UIM is installed on other shelf, FE7, FE8, FE9 and FE10
work together to form a TRUNK port. However if it is GUIM/GUIM2 board, FE3, FE4, FE5 and FE6
form a TRUNK port.
For CHUB board, every 4 adjacent FE ports form a TRUNK port, such as FE1~FE4, FE5~FE8 etc.
For each trunk port, All the 4 RE ports must be connected, and direct connection is recommended.

Alarm Description
Type B fault on board (GPS) phase-lock equipment
Alarm Cause
Class B faults of GPS module of ICM board are generated by singlechip processor checking,
including antenna feed short circuit or open circuit, poor quality of received satellite signals or difficulty
in receiving satellite signals, and large phase difference of 10M OCXO assistant phase control.
3-68
SJ-20140527134815-015|2015-03-31 (R1.1)
Chapter 3 Alarms
Impact
There is no impact on system clock or services if the type B fault lasts for less than 48 hours. After 48
hours, the system clock is deviated and system synchronization fails. When GPS signal is poor, the
alarm will be repeatedly reported/restored. As long as the alarm lasts for no more than 48 hours, both
system clock and services will not be affected.
When the system clock is lost or clock frequency deviation happens, services may be affected
differently according to transmission mode.
1. For TDM transmission, all links based on TDM transmission medium (including UE transmission
link and cell transmission link) will be affected. Packets may be lost, which leads to degradation
of service quality. In serious situation, services may be interrupted, handover may fail and cell
out-of-service may happen.
2. For non-TDM transmission (e.g. IP transmission), services via Iub interface will be affected. This
fault will not affect services via Iur interface or Iu interface. In this case, Node B will fetch clock signal
from RNC by using IEEE1588 function, but the clock is inaccurate.
When RNC's clock frequency offset is no more than 0.05 ppm, Node B synchronization can be
achieved. But inter-RNC soft handover success rate will fall.
When RNC's clock frequency offset exceeds 0.5 ppm, Node B cannot lock the clock. Then Node B
will work in free oscillation mode. In this case, inter-Node B soft handover success rate will drop.
Action
Check the input circuit of antenna feeder of ICM board so that it can receive good GPS signals.
The checking items include:
1) The position of the receiving antenna.
The antenna should be installed in an open area, far away from high buildings and clear from shades.
The effective visibility angle of the antenna should be greater than 150 degrees.
2) The connection between power splitter and front panel.
The connector used to connect the power splitter and the front panel should be in good contact and
properly connected.

Impact
Isolate island, checking packets being abnormal or messages between shelves being abnormal may
occur. For active/standby configuration, there are two cases:
1. If the active board is abnormal while the standby board is normal, the system performs
active/standby switchover. Thus, the standby board takes over the services of the faulty active
board. In this case, the service is not affected.
2. If both the active and standby boards are abnormal, active/standby switchover is forbidden. In this
case, the service is interrupted because the faulty board cannot restore to the normal status.
Action
Replace the board. CPU control port, management port or switch chip is error when this alarm

This fault has a little impact on calls if it does not occur frequently. However, errors may occur during
a call or the link establishment between the TRM/DTRU and the BSC if this alarm occurs frequently
(for example, at intervals of several minutes).
Action
1. Check the electric-connection performance of E1 line.
2. if E1 line has no problem, insert the board tightly and reset.
3.if C/F Trunk alarm happens, please check Whether CMM board hardware version is 030903 or
030900, and if so, it need be changed to 030508 version.( this situation only suitable for Site V2
serials).
4. if alarm still exists, maybe E1 interface chip is abnormal.
5. if chip's self-check is passed, start loop test of E1 interface. 6. if loop test of E1 is correct, the
transport has problems.

BFD session is down
Alarm Cause
1. The network cable connection on relevant equipment (including local/intermediate/opposite
equipment) is loose or disconnected.
2. Intermediate equipment is faulty.
3. Opposite equipment is faulty.
4. Local equipment is faulty.
5. Configuration related to the BFD session is incorrect.
Impact
All services on the path relating to the BFD session will be switched to the standby path. Service
interruption will occur if no standby path exists.
Action
Check alarm details on the NMS Alarm Management interface to find the source address and the
destination address of the BFD session. The source address refers to the address of local equipment.
The destination address refers to the address of the opposite BFD session equipment.
1. Check the status of the line card at the local end. If the line card restarts repeatedly, replace it
and power on.
2. Check the physical connection between the BFD session-related port and the local line card. If the
connection is loose or broken, tighten or replace the cable. If the port indicator is on, it means the
physical connection is normal.
3. Ping intermediate and termination equipment in turn with correct IP address.
i. Telnet to the interface board to check the link by making a ping test. For example, if the destination
address is 2.2.2.10, enter the following command in the telnet interface.
brs_ping_b "2.2.2.10"
ii. Wait for 5 seconds, and then enter the next command.

b. If "ping_receive:Reply from 2.2.2.10: bytes=60 time<1ms" displays on the screen, it means the link
is normal.
iii. In case of timeout, check if the related route and address are configured correctly. If not, correct
the reconfiguration and do a ping test again.
iv. If the route/address is configured correctly but the repsonse still times out, it means a link is broken
or the intermediate equipment is faulty. In this case, check to see if there is any broken network
cable, loose connection or abnormal equipment along the BFD session path. If yes, take necessary
actions, such as replacing the broken cable, tightening the connection, or repairing or replacing the
fault equipment, to solve the problem.
4. If the ping test indicates that packets can be received and sent normally at both ends, check to see
if the BFD session at both ends is configured correctly by performing the following steps:
i. Check the configuration of BFD session on the NMS Configuration Management interface to
ensure the BFD switch is in "enabled" status.
ii. Make sure that the BFD session is configured with the same working mode at both sides.
iii. Make sure that at least one device plays an "active" role for the BFD session.
iv. Make sure that the BFD session exists at both ends, and that the source and the destination
IP addresses are matched.
v. Make sure that the hop mode (single hop/multi-hop) is consistent at both ends.
vi. Make sure that the authentication information is consistent at both ends.
5. Reboot the board where the interface is located.

Chapter 3 Alarms
Alarm Cause
1. The alarm occurs in PPP port creating, modifying, deleting when PPP port is created by command.
2. The alarm occurs once in PPP port during board power-on, and recovers after successful PPP
negotiation.
3. Physical link is down, or link transmission quality is poor.
4. Adjustment of PPP link parameter leads to link re-negotiation, causing the alarm.
Impact
This will cause disconnection of user plane data and services.
Action
Check alarm details on the NMS Alarm Management interface to find the faulty PPP port ID.
1. Check the cable connections at both ends to see if they are loose or broken. If yes, tighten the
connection or replace the broken cable.
2. Refer to the networking plan to check if the E1 cable is correctly connected.
3. Click IPOverE1 Configuration on the NMS Configuration Management interface to check E1 ID and
time slot. Make sure that the time slot configuration is consistent at both ends.
4. Check PPP parameters on the NMS Configuration Management interface to ensure that the
configuration is consistent at both ends.
5. Check the connection relation of DT and EIPI on the NMS Configuration Management interface to
ensure that the PPP port configuration is consistent at both ends.

address, and remote address is given.
1. On NMS configuration management interface (static route), query the route information of the
remote address. Locate the out port according to the route information. Check if network cable of the
out port is disconnected or loose. If yes, unplug and plug the cable or replace the cable.
2. On NMS configuration management interface (SCTP association configuration), query the ID of the
module where the association is located. Check if the following alarm occurs in the relevant board. If
yes, refer to the corresponding alarm Action.

Alarm Description
The ports on the opposite board connected with a couple of ports on the local board are not paired
ports, or FE-C3/4 on RUIM1 backcard receives link detecting packets.
Alarm Cause
1. FE-C3/4 is used for FE routing port when RUIM1 rear board is used.
2. When CHUB is connected to UIM/GUIM/GUIM2, CHUB rear card (RCHUB1/RCHUB2) uses
discrete ports (e.g. port1/port3) to connect UIM rear card.
3. When UIM/GUIM/GUIM2 is connected to UIM/GUIM/GUIM2 CHUB, connections used for FE
routing connection are not in pairs (e.g.FE-C2/4).
4. When UIM is connected to UIM/CHUB, only one cable is used for FE inter-connection.
Impact
Control plane routing is disconnected; ports are switched over in cycle; all services on this shelf
are interrupted.
Action
Reconnect the FE wire.
1. If the UIM board on the BUSN shelf uses RUIM1 backcard, make sure FE-C1/2 port is used
for routing port.
2. If the GUIM/GUIM2 board is on BGSN shelf, make sure FE1 and FE2 ports are used as routing
ports.
3. If TRUNK mode is used, numerous FE ports make up of a TRUNK port for cascaded connection.
In this case, make sure the both ends are paired ports.
If the boards of the local board or the opposite board are not paired port, please reconnect the FE
wire and make sure the both ends are used paired ports.
Here is an example of connection method:
i. When CHUB is connected with UIM/GUIM/GUIM2, the connecting wire on RCHUB1/RCHUB2 of
CHUB backcard must be used continuous ports ( such as port1/port2 pair, port3/port4 pair, port5/port6
pair, port7/port8 pair ) to connect with the pairs on the UIM/GUIM/GUIM2 backcard.
ii. When UIM is connected with UIM/GUIM/GUIM2/CHUB, the ports on UIM backcard must be used
as paired .If RUIM1 backcard is used, then two FE-C1/2 ports must be used for FE routing ports;
if RUIM2/RUIM3 backcard is used, then use FE1/FE2 pair, FE3/FE4 pair or FE5/FE6 pair for the
FE routing ports.
iii. When GUIM/GUIM2 is connected with UIM/GUIM/GUIM2/CHUB, the ports on GUIM/GUIM2
backcard must be used as pair, i. e. , FE1 and FE2 must be used for FE routing ports.

Association link broken
Alarm Cause
1. The association is released in dynamic data management.
2. Association configuration is modified at local end.
3. Association is released at opposite end.
4. Bottom layer link is faulty.
Impact
If several association links are available to the destination office, service will not be affected. In the
case of heavy traffic, congestion of available association(s) might occur, leading to upper layer
call loss or increasing PS call access failures.
If merely one association link is available to the destination office, the office might become
inaccessible. Reception and sending of messages from/to the relevant office fail. Access of new
services under this office fails, and abnormal release of ongoing services occurs.
Action
1. Establish the association in dynamic data management.
2. On NMS configuration management interface, check ASP configuration at local end and opposite
end. Checking items include protocol type of SCTP association, SMP module No, local IP address,
local port No., remote IP address, remote port No., the number of in/out streams. If the configuration
at both ends is inconsistent, modify configuration to keep consistency.
3. Ping the opposite board address to see if the network cable or other intermediate link is faulty.
Replace the cable if ping fails.
4. Check if the association is released at opposite end. If yes, troubleshoot according to the
corresponding cause.

IPD session is down
Alarm Cause
1. The network cable connection on relevant equipment (including local/intermediate/opposite
equipment) is loose or disconnected.
2. Intermediate equipment is faulty.
3. Opposite equipment is faulty.
4. Local equipment is faulty.
5. Configuration related to the IPD session is incorrect.
Impact
All services on the path relating to the BFD session will be switched to the standby path. Service
interruption will occur if no standby path exists.
Action
Check alarm details on the NMS Alarm Management interface to find the source address and the
destination address of the BFD session. The source address refers to the address of local equipment.
The destination address refers to the address of the opposite IPD session equipment.
1. Check the status of the line card at the local end. If the line card restarts repeatedly, replace it
and power on.
2. Check the physical connection between the IPD session-related port and the local line card. If the
connection is loose or broken, tighten or replace the cable. If the port indicator is on, it means the
physical connection is normal.
3. Ping intermediate and termination equipment in turn with correct IP address.
i. Telnet to the interface board to check the link by making a ping test. For example, if the destination
address is 2.2.2.10, enter the following command in the telnet interface.
brs_ping_b "2.2.2.10"
ii. Wait for 5 seconds, and then enter the next command.
BrsShowLog "ICMP"
a. If "PING===>destine 2.2.2.10 timeout" displays on the screen, it means the response times out.
b. If "ping_receive:Reply from 2.2.2.10: bytes=60 time<1ms" displays on the screen, it means the link
is normal.
iii. In case of timeout, check if the related route and address are configured correctly. If not, correct
the reconfiguration and do a ping test again.
iv. If the route/address is configured correctly but the response still times out, it means a link is broken
or the intermediate equipment is faulty. In this case, check to see if there is any broken network
cable, loose connection or abnormal equipment along the IPD session path. If yes, take necessary

4. If the ping test indicates that packets can be received and sent normally at both ends, make sure
that the IPD session exists at the local end, and that the source and the destination IP addresses are
matched.
5. Reboot the board where the interface is located.

Notification Description
Association establishment failed
4-59
SJ-20140527134815-015|2015-03-31 (R1.1)
Notification Cause
1. Association configuration at both ends is inconsistent.
2. The same local address and port are configured for more than one association, but they adopt
different protocol types.
3. The IP address of interface board is faulty or the physical link is broken.
Impact
If several association links are available to the destination office, services will not be affected. In
the case of heavy traffic, link congestion may occur, leading to loss of calls and decreased PS
call access rate.
If merely one association link is available to the destination office, the office may become inaccessible.
UE fails to receive/transmit messages from/to the relevant office. New services can not be accessed
to this office.
Action
1. On NMS configuration management interface, check association configuration at local end and
opposite end. Checking items include local IP address, local port No., remote IP address, remote port
No., and application property of SCTP association. If the association at local end is configured as
client, the association at opposite end should be configured as server. Vice Versa.
2. At local end, check whether the associations configured with different protocol types have the
same local IP address and local port No.. If yes, perform configuration modification to differentiate the
local IP address and local port No. of these associations.
3. Check protocol stack configuration at both ends to see if interface board addresses are in the same
network segment. If no, modify configuration to put two addresses in the same network segment.
4. Ping the opposite-end interface board address to see if the network cable or other intermediate link
is faulty. Replace the cable if ping fails.
