RRU 3829
RRU Functions
The RRU performs the following functions:
 Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data to the
BBU.
Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to intermediate
frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital conversion.
The transmit (TX) channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-analog conversion,
and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
 Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these
signals
to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
The RRU can be powered by the AC/DC power module. The RRU is called AC RRU..

For eNodeB integration the transmission from enodeB to Core network should be established

To check the transmission path we need to use PING TOOL as follows:-

Change the laptop IP same as one of the DEVIP of eNodeB ex-10.202.46.42/30 and GW 10.202.46.41 (Vlan 2003)
Connect the Transmission cable to your laptop Open the ping tool and try to ping GW first .
If Ping to GW is successful than Ping M2000 or EPC IP if ping response is ok that means transmission is OK.
Now connect the cable to corresponding Port of eNodeB
Check the status of eNodeB using MML command as per next slide.

Alarm Check and Fault management of eNodeB
This section describes the basic concepts related to fault, event, and engineering alarms
Fault Alarm
A fault alarm is generated when a hardware is faulty or a major function is abnormal. A fault alarm has a higher
severity than an event. Based on the status of the faults, fault alarms can be categorized into active alarms and
cleared alarms.
If a fault is cleared, the status of the alarm changes to cleared. This type of alarm is called a cleared alarm.
If a fault is not cleared, the status of the alarm remains active. This type of alarm is called an active alarm.
Event Alarm
An event notifies users of important information when the system is running properly. Users need not handle
an event when it is generated.

Engineering Alarm
If an NE is being installed, commissioned, upgraded, expanded, or relocated, the NE is in the engineering state.
The following are engineering alarms: alarms reported by physical or logical equipment in the engineering
state; alarms that are generated by the peer equipment but are associated with the alarms reported by the
equipment in the engineering state; cleared alarms corresponding to engineering alarms.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 65

Alarm Severity
The alarm severity indicates the severity of an alarm. Based on the severity, all alarms can
be categorized into four types: critical, major, minor, and warning.

Severity Definition Handling Suggestion

Critical Service-affecting condition. Critical alarms require immediate Alarms must be cleared immediately. Otherwise, the
attention, and must be cleared immediately. For example, faulty system may break down.
devices are repaired or unavailable resources are restored.

Major Degradation of service, not a complete loss of service. Major These alarms must be cleared in time. Otherwise, some
alarms must be cleared during working hours. For example, important functions cannot be implemented.
device performance and resource performance improve.

Minor Non-service-affecting condition. Minor alarms must be handled This helps maintenance personnel identify and clear
within a certain period to avoid severer problems. potential problems in time.

Warning Potential service-affecting condition. Warning alarms must be You only need to learn about the operating status of the
cleared as required. system.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 66

NM Alarm Type
Based on network management (NM) standards, alarms are categorized as follows:
Power alarm: related to the power system
Environment alarm: related to environment of the equipment room
Signaling alarm: related to service signaling
Trunk alarm: related to the transport subsystem
Hardware alarm: related to boards
Software alarm: related to software
Running alarm: related to system running
Communication alarm: related to the communication system
Integrity violation alarm: a type of security alarm, which indicates that information may be modified, added, or
removed without permission.
Operation violation alarm: a type of security alarm, which indicates that services are unavailable or unreachable due
to incorrect operations, faults, or other reasons.
Physical violation alarm: a type of security alarm, which indicates that physical resources are unavailable due to
possible attacks.
Security violation alarm: a type of security alarm, which indicates that the security service or security mechanism
detects that the system is experiencing attacks.
Time domain violation alarm: a type of security alarm, which indicates that unexpected events have occurred.
Processing error alarm: related to other exceptions.

Collecting Alarm Information on M2000
Alarms are recorded and stored on NEs. If the M2000 is available, NEs also report alarms to the M2000
server for storage. Alarm collection on the NE side is to collect alarm logs. Alarm information of a single NE
or all NEs managed by the M2000 can be obtained on the M2000.

Step :1 Open the Alarm Query Window

Choose Monitor> Browse Current Alarm on M2000

Step :2 In the displayed Filter window set query condition

Set filter criteria in the Basic Setting dialog box to query alarms
meeting conditions.
Severity: indicates the severity of alarms. Options include critical,
major, minor, and warning. You can select a severity as required.
All options are selected by default.
Status: indicates the alarm status. "Cleared" and "Uncleared"
indicate whether alarms are cleared while "Acknowledged" and
"Unacknowledged" indicate whether alarms are confirmed by the
administrator. All options are selected by default.
Type: indicates the type of alarm information. All options are
selected by default.
Alarm query results can be filtered based on the alarm generation
time and alarm clearance time.
Recent alarms can be queried by minute, hour, or day.
