    1.3 Alarm Representation

    The alarm type is divided into alarm and notification message.

    1.3.1 Alarm

    Alarm is the prompt message about some faults that occur contin-uously and impact the proper service and system reliability. Usu-ally, the alarm messages last some time and will not disappearuntil all the problems or faults have been removed.

    This kind of fault may impact the normal system operation. Onceit occurs, the user shall timely find the reason and solve it.

    1.3.2 Notification

    Notification refers to unrepeated or transient fault or event oc-curred during system operation. For instance, board reset andsignaling overload.

    The fault is caused by severe environment, so the special handlingis not required, waiting for system recovery. The user only needfind the reason and solve it if a notification frequently occurs.

    1.4 Alarm Structure

    Alarm Property 1. Alarm Code

    It is the identifier to distinguish the alarms.

    The alarm code is defined by 32 bits field, indicating the valueof specific alarm code.

    2. Description

    It reflects the fault reason and symptom.

    3. Severity

    Alarm can be divided into four levels based on severity.

    Critical. Critical alarm causes system breakdown and ser-vice interruption. It requires immediate troubleshooting.

    4 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

  • Chapter 1 Overview

    Major. Major alarm significantly affects system operationor weakens network service capability. It requires trou-bleshooting as soon as possible.

    Minor. Minor alarm affects system operation and networkservice capability in a insignificant way. It requires timelytroubleshooting so as to avoid severity escalation.

    Warning. Warning poses a potential hazard to system op-eration and network service capability. It requires trou-bleshooting at an appropriate time so as to avoid severityescalation.

    The degree of impact as described in the definition of alarmseverity refers to the impact of a single index, such as reliabilityand security. Once the impact on any of the index reachesthe specified threshold, the severity level of the alarm can beroughly determined. If an alarm has an impact on multipleindices, alarm severity should be escalated accordingly.

    Note:

    The alarm level can be modified in NetNumen M31 if necessary.

    In general, the default value of alarm level is a reasonablevalue. The user shall be careful and do not modify it randomly.

    In addition, the severity of a few alarms is undetermined. It isup to users to define the severity of such alarms.

    4. Alarm Type

    Alarm is classified into six types according to alarm trigger con-dition and its system impact:

    Equipment alarm: related with device hardware.

    Communication alarm: related with information transmis-sion (ITU-T Recommendation X.733).

    Processing alarm: related with software or process fault(ITU-T Recommendation X.733).

    Environment alarm: related with the environment wherethe equipment is located (ITU-T Recommendation X.733).

    QoS alarm: related with degradation of service quality(ITU-T Recommendation X.733).

    NetNumen alarm: related with the NetNumen M31.

    Probable Cause It lists all probable causes. Probable alarm causes are enumeratedto help users troubleshoot, find preventive measures, and restorethe system to normal state in a timely manner.

    System Impact System impact refers to the impact that the alarm incurs on sys-tem or services.

    HandlingSuggestion

    Troubleshooting measures and suggestions are provided.

    Pay attention to the following tips when handling alarms.

    After operation & maintenance staff records the fault andsymptom, they shall handle it in order according to the meth-ods described in this manual. If no other special description

    System Impact The service corresponding to the faulty frequency is interrupted.

    HandlingSuggestion

    1. Calculate the central frequency.

    Relationship between frequency point and frequency:

    900 MHz: frequency (MHz) = 935.2 MHz + (frequency point- 1) * 0.2 MHz, the frequency point is within the range of [1,124].

    1800 MHz: frequency MHz = 1805.2 MHz + (frequency point- 512) * 0.2 MHz, the frequency point is within the range of[512, 885].

    For example,

    If the central frequency is configured as 1825.8 MHz, then thecorresponding frequency point is 615.

    The carrier's frequency point configured at background mustbe within the range of [615-25, 615+25].

    Note: 25 = 5 MHz/0.2 MHz

    2. Modify the frequency point configuration.
