1 — FCC part 15 subpart B

1.1 — 9500 MPR-A unlicensed radio


The JF6-9558H/6933B-9500MPT (MPT-HL) unlicensed radio provides fast deployment
of service with microwave radio. No license and small antennas (no FCC and Industry
Canada requirements) allow immediate turn-up. After the license is received, the
unlicensed MPT-HL radio can be easily converted to the lower 6 GHz licensed band.

The JF6-9558HC/6933B-9558HC (9558HC) unlicensed radio provides fast deployment of


service with microwave radio. No license and small antennas (no FCC and Industry Canada
requirements) allow immediate turn-up. The 9558HC unlicensed radio can not be upgraded

2 — Maintenance philosophy

Maintenance of the system consists of repair and preventive maintenance. Repair covers
isolation of faults, troubleshooting to the circuit card level, and subsequent replacement of
the faulty circuit card. Circuit card repair is not covered. Preventive maintenance covers
periodic routine tasks that are performed to ensure continued proper operation of the
system.

The system incorporates both software- and firmware-based diagnostics to continuously


monitor system integrity. Also available are diagnostics that can be manually invoked.
Problems detected by diagnostics are reported as alarm/event messages displayed at a user
terminal and/or lighted alarm indicators on the equipment. These messages and lights are
the primary trouble analysis tools for fault isolation.

The instruction “contact next level of technical support for assistance” appears throughout
this manual. The intent of this statement is to escalate the problems that are beyond the
scope of this Task Oriented Practice (TOP) to a higher level of expertise. Users who have
local interim levels and/or procedures should implement those in response to this
instruction. See the Introduction for customer access (HELP) contacts.

2.1 — Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting procedures generally assume the following conditions:

• An alarm indication was received through the Alarm Monitor, Craft Terminal or a
lighted alarm indicator.
• Maintenance personnel are familiar with system operation and use of the Alarm
Monitor and Craft Terminal.
• Maintenance personnel have system administration privileges or a system
administrator is available.
• Replacement components (spares) are available and fully functional.

The following guidelines and information should be observed during troubleshooting:

• Trouble clearing begins with an analysis of alarm indications. The correct chapter is
referenced in the index.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 25


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Before going to site checklist

• Clear upstream problems first. This may also clear downstream problems.
• As a rule, no main circuit card should be physically removed unless traffic was
manually switched to protection by entering the appropriate Craft Terminal
command. Exceptions to this are addressed in specific chapters.
• As a rule, no protection circuit card should be physically removed unless a manual
lockout switch issued by entering the appropriate Craft Terminal command.
Exceptions to this are addressed in specific chapters.
• As a rule, in unprotected radio configurations physically removing a circuit card will
cause a loss of traffic. Exceptions to this are addressed in specific chapters.
• To avoid unnecessary service interruption, exercise care when removing circuit
cards, performing commands, and doing other maintenance tasks.
• The procedures in this manual are used to aid in clearing alarms for which protection
is available. If alarms exist on both a card and its mate card, or if alarms exist on a
card and its mate card is not available for protection, always contact the next level of
technical support for assistance with clearing the alarms.
• Always follow electrostatic-sensitive device procedures when handling circuit cards.
• After circuit card replacement, allow time for alarms to clear. As a general rule, allow
a minimum of 120 seconds to clear. Some alarms may take longer to clear. Allow
time for the alarm to clear before assuming the replacement did not clear the trouble.
• When replacing a circuit card does not clear the trouble, remove the replacement
circuit card and return the original circuit card to service.
• When troubleshooting procedures fail to clear the fault, an obscure or multiple fault
is assumed to exist.

2.2 — Before going to site checklist


Where possible, before going to site obtain the following information:

• Does the fault require immediate attention?


• Determine who is the best-placed person to attend the fault.
• Confirm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, 9500 MPR type,
frequency band, high/low end ODU or MPT-HL Transceiver, capacity modulation
and configuration (non protected, protected, diversity). Ask:
• Is just one 9500 MPR link affected, or a number of links in the same
geographical area?
• Is the path down completely or is traffic passing but with a BER alarm?
• Is only one or a number of tributaries affected?
• Could the fault be in the equipment connected to 9500 MPR, rather than in 9500
MPR? Are there alarms on other, connected equipment?

26 9500 MPR Alarm Clearing


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Troubleshooting basics

• Is it a hard or intermittent fault?


• Do alarms confirm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?
• Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the reported fault?
Note: If the fault suggests a rain fade or other weather related fade condition and it
matches the prevailing weather conditions, do not take any action until the weather
abates.
• Does link history suggest any fault trends?
• Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause?
• Is the 9500 MPR link newly installed?
• Has there been any recent work done on the link?
• Ensure that you have with you:
• Appropriate spares. Where an equipment failure is suspected, these should
include replacement Cards/plug-ins, MPT-HL Transceiver and ODU. If an
ODU is suspected then local/national climbing safety requirements must be
adhered to.
• A laptop PC loaded with Craft Terminal, and an Ethernet cable. If an Ethernet
connection is to be used, you need the 9500 MPR Node/Terminal IP address
and also the addresses for any remote sites to be accessed.
• If login security has been enabled, you need the ‘engineer’ password for the
local and also any remote sites to be accessed.
• Any special test equipment that may be needed, such as a BER tester.
• Toolkit.
• Key(s) for access to the site.

2.3 — Troubleshooting basics


This section provides general guidance on 9500 MPR troubleshooting:

Check front-panel LED indications. These provide summary alarm indications, which can
help narrow down the location and type of failure. See addresses Alarm and abnormal
condition clearing procedures for more information.

Note: Where a Status LED on a plug-in is off (unlit), but power to the MSS is confirmed by
LEDs on other plug-ins, check the seating of the affected plug-in.

Check Main Screen. When logging into 9500 MPR with Craft Terminal, the opening screen
is the Main Screen. Use the information provided to check for severity and problem type.
See Table 6.3 for probable cause and recommended action.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 27


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Troubleshooting basics

Check the basics first.

• For example, if multiple alarms are present, and these include power supply voltage
or hardware alarms, always check their cause before looking at resultant down-stream
path failure or path warning (signal) alarms.
• Similarly, if a path-related failure is indicated (no hardware or software alarms),
investigate the path. Go to the Craft Terminal History screen (15 minute view) to
check supporting data, such as low RSL and incidence of intermittent pre-failure BER
alarms, which if present are evidence of a path-related failure. See Troubleshooting
path problems in this chapter for more information.

Check if symptoms match the alarm. Alarms reflect the alarm state, but in exceptional
circumstances an alarm may be raised because of a failure to communicate correctly with
the alarm source, or a failure in alarm management processing. Always check to see if
symptoms match the alarm, using LED indications and the Craft Terminal.

Check if recent work may be a cause. Recent work at the site may be a cause or contributing
factor. Check for a configuration change, software upgrade, power recycling (reboot), or
other site work:

• Many hardware alarms are only initiated as a loss-of-communications alarm during a


reboot, software upgrade, or reconfiguration. By not being able to communicate with
the Core, their settings cannot be loaded. The fault may be at the hardware device
(most likely), communications to it, or the Core.
• Hardware/software compatibility alarms will be raised when a new plug-in is
installed that needs a later version of 9500 MPR software.
• Hardware incompatible alarms will be raised when a plug-in is installed in a slot that
has been configured for a different plug-in.

MSS before an ODU. If there is doubt about whether a fault is in the MSS or ODU, always
troubleshoot the MSS first.

Hot-pluggable. MSS cards are hot-pluggable. There is no need to power-down before


replacing, but traffic will be lost unless the plug-in is protected.

Plug-in restoration time. Ensure adequate time is allowed for services to resume when a
plug-in is replaced.

2.3.1 — Troubleshooting path problems


A path-related problem, with the exceptions of interference, reflection, or multipath, is
characterized by traffic being similarly affected in both directions. Generally, if you are
experiencing only a one-way problem, it is not a path problem.

28 9500 MPR Alarm Clearing


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Path problems on a commissioned link

Note: A path extends from ODU or MPT-HL antenna port to ODU or MPT-HL antenna port.

Normally a path problem is signaled by a reduced RSL, and depending on its severity, a
high BER.

Only in worst case situations, such as an antenna knocked out of alignment, will a path fail
completely, and stay that way.

For weather-related problems, such as rain or ducting, the path problem will disappear as
the weather returns to normal.

2.4 — Path problems on a commissioned link


A path problem on an existing link, one that has been operating satisfactorily may be caused
by:

• Weather-related path degradation


• Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem
• New path obstruction
• Interference from other signal sources

2.4.1 — Weather-related path degradation


If BER alarms are fleeting/not permanent and RSL returns to its normal, commissioned
level after the alarm is cleared, rain, diffraction, or multipath fading is indicated. Rain fade
is the likely cause of fade for links 13 GHz and higher. Diffraction and multipath/ducting
for links 11 GHz and lower. If these alarms are persistent, there could be a problem with
the link design or original installation.

2.4.2 — Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem


If RSLs do not return to commissioned levels after a period of exceptionally strong winds,
suspect antenna alignment. Also, check the antenna for physical damage, such as may occur
with ice-fall. For a remote-mounted ODU or MPT-HL, check its antenna feeder.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 29


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Path problems on a new link

2.4.3 — New path obstruction


Where all other parameters check as normal, and the path has potential for it to be
obstructed by construction works, view/survey the path for possible new obstructions.

2.4.4 — Interference from other signal sources


Interference usually affects traffic in just one direction. Unlike other path problems, RSL
is not affected. If suspected, check for new link installations at, or in the same geographical
area, as the affected site. Ultimately, a spectrum analyzer may have to be used to confirm
interference, which is not an easy task given the need to connect directly to the antenna port,
after removing the ODU or MPT-HL.

2.5 — Path problems on a new link


For a new link, potential problems can extend to also include:

• Incorrect antenna alignment


• Mismatching antenna polarizations
• Incorrect path calculations
• Reflections

2.5.1 — Incorrect antenna alignment


One or both antennas incorrectly aligned. See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Turn-up
Manual, Antenna Polarization Verification Antenna Feedhorn Verification - XPD
Procedure.

2.5.2 — Mismatching antenna polarizations


Given a typical polarization discrimination of 30 dB, for most links it is not possible to
capture a signal to begin the antenna alignment process.

30 9500 MPR Alarm Clearing


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Troubleshooting configuration problems

2.5.3 — Incorrect path calculations


If the RSLs are too low or too high, antenna alignment is correct, and Tx power settings are
correct, check the path calculations used to determine the link performance. A good
calculation match is +/- 2dB. Disagreements in excess of 3 dB should be investigated.

2.5.4 — Reflections
Reflection (path cancellation) problems may not have been picked up at the path planning
stage, particularly if the survey was a simple line-of-sight. If suspected, resurvey the path.

2.6 — Troubleshooting configuration problems


Configuration problems should only occur during the setup of a new link, or
reconfiguration of an existing link. The more common problems may be broadly
categorized as:

• Compatibility Problems
• Incorrect circuit connections
• Incorrect ID naming and commissioning
• Incorrect/incompatible trib settings

2.6.1 — Compatibility problems


The two alarms that may activate are Configuration Not Supported and SW/HW
Incompatible:

Configuration Not Supported: The plug-in installed is not enabled or is incorrect for the
configuration.

2.6.2 — Incorrect circuit connections


No alarms are activated for incorrect circuit connections. An incorrect assignment means
the expected end-to-end circuit connectivity will not happen. Re-check circuit assignments
for all nodes carrying the lost circuit(s).

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 31


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Troubleshooting Ethernet problems

Take extra care when configuring ring circuits.

Where the problem is not obvious, use the tributary loopback BER test to track a single
circuit through a 9500 MPR network, beginning at the node closest to the node applying the
BER test.

2.6.3 — Incorrect ID naming and commissioning


All traffic-carrying circuits must have a unique flow ID for the cross-connect capability to
operate.

2.6.4 — Incorrect/incompatible trib settings


Trib line interface settings incorrect, or line levels incompatible. While no alarm activates
for an incorrect setting, its effect may result in line levels being too low (LOS alarm), or too
high, resulting in a high BER.

2.7 — Troubleshooting Ethernet problems


This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting problems related to the four
Ethernet ports on the Core-E Card and the eight Ethernet ports on the P8ETH card.

The most common Ethernet problems are network and connectivity related and therefore
always check the following first:

• Verify link partner capability, provisioning, and connection


• Verify radio provisioning matches link partner
• Verify cabling between radio and link partner

The LEDs on the Core-E and P8ETH Card front panel for each Ethernet connector are a
good indicator of correct connectivity and activity on the Ethernet port. See Table 6.9 for
LEDs that are locally at the alarmed site.

In order for the green Link LED to light:

1. Cable must be connected to Ethernet port


2. Ethernet port must be enabled (provisioned Enabled on Core Settings Screen)
3. Speed and mode (on Core Settings Screen) must be provisioned the same as the link
partner.

Troubleshooting Ethernet problems

The yellow LED opposite the green on the connector indicates activity only. The flashing
yellow LED is not an indicator of signal type or quality.

2.7.1 — Troubleshooting TMN problems


This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting TMN problems related to Ethernet
port 4 on the Core-E Card. Ethernet port 4 on the Core-E Card can be used to transport
SNMP IP data. Troubleshoot port 4 connectivity alarms the same as Ethernet ports 1-3. See
Troubleshooting Ethernet problems.

The most common TMN problems are network related and first alert is normally observed
by improper operation at the SNMP master. Always check the following first:

• Verify master is properly registered in NE to receive traps.


• Verify SNMP version matches system requirements
• Verify correct community string and privileges
• Verify proper network routing.

See Table 6.13 for information about TMN network troubleshooting.

Danger:
• Keep your fingers away from the rotating fan blades. Pull the fan-tray card by the
thumbscrews only and wait for the fan blades to stop spinning before you attempt to
remove the fan-tray card completely from the chassis.
• The 9500 MPR requires at least two people to support, align, and attach the MSS-8 shelf
or MPT-HL shelf to an equipment rack. To prevent equipment damage or personal injury,
make sure you have enough help.
• The 9500 MPR requires at least three people to lift and carry an equipment rack populated
with 9500 MPR equipment. To prevent equipment damage or personal injury, make sure
you have enough help or the appropriate lifting and transporting equipment.
• The 9500 MPR requires at least two people to align and secure an equipment rack
populated with 9500 MPR equipment. To prevent equipment damage or personal injury,
make sure you have enough help.
• To prevent personal injury and equipment damage due to unbalanced loading of the

to the floor, ceiling, or other rigid structure before mounting the 9500 MPR in it. For
approved methods of securing the equipment rack, read the equipment-rack installation
instructions or contact the equipment-rack manufacturer.

3.3.10 — Electrical precautions


Take appropriate safety precautions when performing procedures on electrical equipment.
Hazardous electrical potentials are present when system power is on.

Some procedures in this manual require working with small conductive objects, such as
screwdrivers, fuses, washers, screws, and nuts. When working on a chassis at the top of an
equipment rack, a dropped object that falls into a lower chassis can cause physical damage
and electrical short circuits. To prevent this, place a piece of paper or other cover over the
lower chassis to catch fallen objects. Remove the paper or other cover when work is
complete.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 45


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Labels indicating danger, forbidding, command

Danger:

• Install the 9500 MPR in a restricted-access area only. Entrance to a restricted-access area
is intended for qualified or trained personnel and access to it is controlled by a locked
barrier.
• The chassis does not contain main overcurrent protection devices. The user must provide
circuit breakers or fuses and disconnects between the power source and the 9500 MPR.
Each power feed from a source (-48 V dc and Return) requires a 25-amp dc-rated fast-trip
circuit breaker or fuse and disconnect. Circuit breakers or fuses must meet applicable local
and national electrical safety codes and be approved for the intended application.
• Make sure you connect the node to a -48 V dc source that is electrically isolated from the
ac source and is reliably connected to earth ground.
• For personal safety, make sure you connect and secure the installation site’s frame-
ground (earth ground) wire to the frame-ground terminal on the 9500 MPR before you
connect any other wires to the node.
• A dc-power source provides high energy, which can cause serious injury or equipment
damage. Only Alcatel-Lucent qualified personnel should connect the dc power to the 9500
MPR. To prevent serious injury or equipment damage, make sure the power source cables
are de-energized before you handle or connect them to the node.

3.3.11 — Laser precautions


Verify that laser labels on equipment state that the system conforms to all applicable
standards of 21 CFR 1040.10. If there are no danger labels, contact Alcatel-Lucent.

The invisible infrared radiation emitted by the fiber-optic transmitter can cause eye
damage. Observe local office procedures and the following dangers:

46 9500 MPR Alarm Clearing


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Labels indicating danger, forbidding, command

Danger:

• The use of controls and/or adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous infrared radiation exposure.
• Laser infrared radiation is not in the visible spectrum; therefore, it is not visible to the
naked eye or with laser safety glasses. Although it cannot be seen, laser radiation may be
present.
• Never look directly into an unterminated fiber-optic connector unless it is absolutely known
that no optical power is being emitted by the connector.
• Never look into a broken optical fiber cable unless it is absolutely known that no laser
radiation is present.
• Never look at an optical fiber splice, cable, or connector unless it is absolutely known that
no laser radiation is present in the fiber. Laser radiation can come from a fiber-optic
transmitter, an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), or other optical test
equipment.
• Never look directly into an unterminated optical connector or cable with a magnifier/
microscope unless it is absolutely known that no laser radiation is being emitted from the
connector or cable. A magnifier or microscope greatly increases the laser radiation hazard
to the eyes.
• This system normally operates as a Class I Laser Product (no hazard). However, during
servicing operations, when optical connectors are being connected, disconnected, or
handled without dust covers, it is possible to be exposed to Class IIIb laser radiation,
which can cause eye damage.
• Everyone within a 10-foot radius of an unterminated optical fiber or connector that is
connected to a powered transmitter must wear laser safety goggles or eye shields.

Laser safety goggles or eye shields are not required if the following work rules are strictly
followed:

1. Always remove electrical power from fiber-optic transmitters before disconnecting


fiber-optic connectors in the path between the transmitter and the receiver.
2. Never connect an unterminated optical cable to a fiber-optic transmitter. Always
connect fiber-optic cables to fiber-optic receivers, test sets, or some other termination
first.

4 — Electrostatic-sensitive devices

4.1 — Electrostatic-sensitivity
An Electrostatic-Sensitive Device (ESD) can withstand voltage spikes of only 10 to
100 volts and can be damaged or effectively destroyed by a discharge that might go
unnoticed by a technician. Some devices have built-in protection. However, because this
protection is effective only against the lower levels of electrostatic charges, a false sense of
security often prevails.

Warning: Common plastic, white foam, cellophane, and masking adhesive tapes must not
come in contact with ESDs or their packaging.

Common plastics (synthetic insulating materials), clothing, and paper or cardboard are the
most common sources of static charges.

Observe special precautions when the ESD sign is displayed. See Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1 — Electrostatic-sensitive sign

No3013

The following items are examples of ESDs:

• MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) capacitors, transistors, Integrated Circuits (ICs)


• CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors, ICs

Handling circuit packs

• JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistors)


• IGFET (Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistors)

4.2 — Handling circuit packs


Although the risk of damage to an ESD is reduced considerably after it is assembled into a
circuit designed to protect sensitive components, take the following precautions to reduce
static charges to harmless levels:

• Handle all circuit packs as ESDs unless they are known not to contain
electrostatic-sensitive parts.
Warning: Heel straps are effective only while standing on conductive or
electrostatic-dissipative surfaces.

• Wear ground straps, wrist (PN 1AD012470001) before and while touching or
handling circuit packs containing ESDs.
• Cover surfaces with resistance to ground in excess of 100 megohms, such as ordinary
tile, with properly grounded static dissipative runners.
• Workbenches must be earth-grounded, and work surfaces must be covered with an
antistatic or static dissipative material bonded to the bench (bolt). A field service kit
(PN 1AD068980001) or equivalent can be used if an adequate workbench is not
available.
• ESDs are delivered with protective packing (containers or conductive foam). The
devices should remain in their original containers until needed. Store (even
temporarily), pack, and ship circuit packs in antistatic bags or containers.
• Containers with ESDs must contact the antistatic work surface, and the wrist strap
must be connected before parts are removed from packaging. Devices must be
handled by their bodies.
• Do not handle printed circuit board or components unnecessarily. Use plastic handle.
• Do not use synthetic bristled brushes or acid brushes to clean circuit packs.
• Handle failed circuit packs with same precautions as good circuit packs.

ESDs are protected when properly packaged in conductive or antistatic packaging.


Acceptable packaging is marked as either conductive or antistatic.

8 — Facility alarms

8.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify and clear Facility alarms.

8.2 — General
AU4-AIS is a High Order path alarm indication signal on a channelized E1 unit. The AU4-
AIS is specified as all "1"s in the entire High Order path Administrative Unit. The alarm
becomes significant and must be reported if an LOS, LOF, TIM, or MS-AIS alarm for the
input is not present. As consequent action, any E1 extracted from STM-1 will be replaced
with AIS (and then circuit emulated according to the provisioned settings).

TU12-AIS is a Low Order path alarm indication signal on a channelized E1 unit. The
TU12-AIS is specified as all "1"s in the entire Low Order path Tributary Unit. The alarm
becomes significant and must be reported if an LOS, LOF, TIM, MS-AIS or AU4-AIS,
AU4-LOP, VC4-SLM or VC4-LOM alarm for the input is not present. As a consequent
action, the relevant E1 will be replaced with AIS (and then circuit emulated according to
the provisioned settings).

A Retiming Buffer Overflow alarm on channelized E1 indicates overflow or underflow


conditions of the buffer used to perform the retiming of the circuit emulated E1 when Node
Timing TDM clock source is selected. The alarm is reported if there are no defects related
to the Loss of CESoETH Frame alarm or Rx AIS alarm.

A Loss of Pointer or Loss of Multi-frame alarm on channelized E1 has a similar root cause
to the AU4-AIS and TU12-AIS alarms on channelized E1.These alarms are reported if
other alarms are not present.

AIS (on channelized E1-in) is an alarm indication signal on one or more E1input signals
incoming to the NE on the SDHACC card. The problem is associated with the E1 input
signal to the SDHACC card.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 181


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
General

AIS (on channelized E1-out) is an alarm indication signal detected by the receive circuit
from the radio link on one or more of the channelized E1 lines, indicating an upstream
failure.

AIS (on E1/DS1/3-in) is an alarm indication signal on one or more E1, DS1, or DS3 input
signals incoming to the NE on the P32E1DS1 or P2E3DS3 cards, or MSS-1 shelf. The
problem is associated with the E1, DS1 or DS3 input signal to the P32E1DS1 or P2E3DS3
cards or MSS-1 shelf.

AIS (on E1/DS1/3-out) is an alarm indication signal detected by the receive circuit from the
radio link on one or more of the E1, DS1, or DS3 lines, indicating an upstream failure.

AIS (on Ele/OptSdh-in) is an alarm indication signal on one or more STM-1/OC-3 input
signals incoming to the NE on the SDHACC card. The problem is associated with the input
signal to the SDHACC card.

An AIS (on Ele/OptSdh-out) is an alarm indication signal detected by the receive circuit
from the radio link on one or more of the STM-1/OC-3 lines, indicating an upstream failure.

A High BER (on Ele/OptSdh-in) alarm indicates that Bit Error Rate threshold of 10E-5 has
been exceeded on receiver input circuits from the client to the SDHACC card.

A High BER (on Ele/OptSdh-out) alarm indicates that Bit Error Rate threshold of 10E-5 has
been exceeded on transmit output circuits to the client from the SDHACC card.

A Loss Of CESoETH Frame (CircuitTDM) indicates packets are not being received by the
emulation circuits from the switch matrix.

12 — Radio alarms (MPT-HC, MPT-HC-


HQAM, MPT-HL, MPT-HLC, MPT-HLS,
MPT-XP, MPT-XP-HQAM)

12.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify and clear radio alarms.

12.2 — General
A Bandwidth Over Flow alarm indicates that while the MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/
MPT-HLS was not communicating with the MSS-1, Core-E, EASv2, MPTACC, or
P8ETH, TDM2TDM and/or TDM2ETH cross-connections were provisioned with a total
bandwidth which exceeds the net bandwidth capacity of the radio profile.

A CLA alarm indicates that the standby transmitter has/had a silent failure which caused
the far end to request a HSB protection switch.

A Demodulator Fail alarm indicates that a loss of receive signal, bad receive signal, or
internal receive circuit failure.

An Early Warning Indication alarm indicates that a 10E-9 Bit Error Rate detected.

A High BER alarm indicates that Bit Error Rate threshold of 10E-4 has been exceeded on
receiver input circuits.

An Incompatible Frequency alarm indicates that the configured frequency is outside the
supported frequency range.

An Incompatible Modulation alarm indicates that the configured modulation is not


supported by MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS in alarm.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 259


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Procedure

An Incompatible Protection alarm indicates that the RPS/XPIC module is missing or


equipped with a mixture of RPS and XPIC modules on the MPT ODU protection pair in
alarm.

An Incompatible Shifter alarm indicates that the configured shifter value is not supported
by the MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS.

An Incompatible Power/Incompatible TX Power alarm indicates that the configured RTPC/


ATPC Tx power value or ATPC Rx power threshold value is not supported by the
MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS.

A Link Identifier Mismatch alarm indicates that the link identifier number provisioned on
MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS settings screen is different from the link
identifier number provisioned at the far end of the hop.

A Loss Of Protection alarm indicates that a loss the radio direction is affected by a failure
that radio protection (RPS) cannot recover. The alarm is only reported if the RPS is
provisioned.

A Loss Of Signal alarm indicates that a loss of Ethernet signal is detected on the
MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLS coupler port.

A PPP Fail alarm indicates that TMN over PPP has failed.

A Remote Defect Indication in a received Radio Direction. The alarm is reported when an
RDI is received on a given radio direction from the remote end of radio link.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Product Information Manual to determine card location
and address.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR WebEML User Manual or Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR
WebCT User Manual for information about how to execute the commands that are
described in this procedure.

12.3 — Procedure
1. Using the Alarm Monitor, retrieve all alarms.
2. Review the output. See Table 12.1 for information about radio alarms.

Procedure

a. Bandwidth over flow


b. CLA
c. Demodulator fail
d. Early warning indication
e. High BER
f. Incompatible frequency
g. Incompatible modulation
h. Incompatible protection
i. Incompatible shifter
j. Incompatible Tx power
k. Link identifier mismatch
l. Loss of protection
m. Loss of signal
n. PPP fail
o. Remote defect indication
Bandwidth over flow
Note: Total Bandwidth provisioned is validated at the add/drop nodes of the network
only. Pass-Through TDM2TDM and/or TDM2ETH flows supported by the NE are not included
in the total bandwidth validation and must be included in the network design to
determine the net bandwidth capacity of the radio profile required.

1. Verify the cross-connections for the radio with Bandwidth Over Flow alarm
and delete TDM2TDM and/or TDM2ETH cross-connections until the total
bandwidth is equal to or less than the net bandwidth capacity of the radio
profile.
2. Retrieve the alarms Using the Alarm Monitor.
3. Did the Bandwidth Over Flow alarm clear?
a. If yes, the procedure is complete.
b. If no, contact the next level of technical support for assistance.
CLA
1. Attempt to Clear CLA alarm using the manual switch command?
Caution: Performing a Clear CLA command on MPT ODU, MPT-HL, or MPT-HLC
will cause a loss of traffic on ALL facilities associated with the MPT ODU,
MPT-HL, or MPT-HLC declaring CLA alarm IF the silent failure still exist. The
Clear CLA command Forces traffic onto the radio channel in alarm and resets
the CLA alarm. If the silent failure still exists, ALL traffic will be dropped until
the far end requests a HSB protection switch for the link. The traffic outage
duration will be from 30 to 60 seconds. Schedule an appropriate maintenance
window per local practices and procedures.

294 9500 MPR Alarm Clearing


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01

15 — Internal loss of communications

15.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify and clear Dialog Failure and Internal
Communication Problem condition on the radio.

15.2 — General
A Dialog Failure alarm manifests itself in two unique time periods.

The first time period a Dialog Failure condition may be declared is during initial turn-up of
a MPT ODU radio. It is an indication that communications between the MPT ODU and the
MSS shelf has been established, but one or more radio parameters has not been provisioned
by the user. During initial turn-up, treat Dialog Failure as an indication one or more radio
parameters require provisioning.

The second time period Dialog Failure condition may be declared is after communications
with the radio has been established and the radio has been provisioned by the user. It
indicates that a temporary loss of communication between the MSS shelf and MPT ODU/
MPT-HL/MPT-HLC exist. A Dialog Failure condition is declared until communications
are reestablished or a time-out period expires. After the time-out period expires, a Dialog
Failure condition is cleared and an Internal Communication Problem condition is declared.

The Dialog Failure time-out durations varies based on the system configuration. The time-
out durations are:

• 1+0: 20 minutes
• 1+1 HSB: 5 minutes
• 1+1 FD: 20 minutes

An Internal Communication Problem condition indicates that a loss of communications


with the MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 295


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Procedure

Note: After a radio configuration change, such as transition from 1+1 MPT ODU to MPT
ODU with XPIC, in a rare event, a stuck Dialog Failure alarm may occur. If this condition
exists, to clear the Dialog Failure alarm, the associated MPT Access card must be
reseated.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Product Information Manual to determine card location
and address.

MPT-HC-HQAM, MPT-HL, MPT-HLC, MPT-
HLS, MPT-XP, MPT-XP-HQAM, P32E1DS1,
SDHACC, MSS-1 shelf)

16.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify Threshold Crossing Alarms (TCA) Threshold
Crossed or Unavailable Time on radios, P32E1DS1, SDHACC cards or MSS-1 shelf.

16.2 — General
TCA alarms are associated with Performance Monitoring (PM). TCA thresholds are default
values or values configured by the user. Depending on the configured TCA threshold
values provisioned, the severity of the TCA alarms are determined. Due to the nature and
flexibility of TCA alarms, only general recommendations can be provided as a course of
action to clear TCA alarms. Follow local practices and procedures in assessing the severity/
importance of TCA alarms.

A TCA declared against a MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS/P32E1DS1/


SDHACC/DS1 or E1 on MSS-1 shelf indicates that the alarm threshold has been exceeded;
applies to the PM parameters with an accumulation period of 15 minutes and/or 24 hours
on the MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS/P32E1DS1/SDHACC/DS1 or E1 on
MSS-1 shelf.

Single level threshold crossing mechanism is utilized with 24 hour PM TCA alarms. TCA
alarm is raised when 24 hour threshold is exceeded. Implicit clearing of 24 hour TCA
alarms occurs at the beginning of each 24 hour period. No TCA alarm clear message is sent
by the NE.

9500 MPR Alarm Clearing 309


Release 6.1.0 3DB 19291 ABAA Edition 01
Procedure

Dual level threshold crossing mechanism is utilized with 15 minute PM TCA alarms. A
TCA alarm is raised when the high threshold is exceeded. An explicit clearing of the TCA
alarm occurs at the end of a 15 minute period where the current data value does not exceed
the low threshold, and the monitoring period does not contain a suspect interval or an
unavailable period. When this occurs, the NE sends TCA alarm clear message.

An Unavailable Time alarm is declared against a MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-


HLS/P32E1DS1/SDHACC/DS1 or E1 on MSS-1 shelf which indicates that ten consecutive
SES events have occurred; applies to the PM parameters on the MPT ODU/MPT-HL/
MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS/P32E1DS1/SDHACC/DS1 on MSS-1 shelf.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Product Information Manual to determine card location
and address.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR WebEML User Manual or Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR
WebCT User Manual for information about how to execute the commands that are
described in this procedure.

1. Using the Alarm Monitor, retrieve all alarms.
2. Review the output. See Table 16.1 for information about TCA alarms.

17 — Synchronization alarms (Core-E,


CorEvo, MPT-HC, MPT-HC-HQAM, MPT-HL,
MPT-HLC, MPT-HLS, MPT-XP, MPT-XP-
HQAM, P32E1DS1, SDHACC)

17.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify and clear synchronization alarms on the Core,
P32E1DS1, and SDHACC cards and on radios.

17.2 — General
A Degrade alarm indicates that the frequency of the sync source signal is degraded.

A Loss Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel (ESMC) alarm indicates a loss of


communication with the far end synchronization source or a provisioning mismatch with
the far end Ethernet port or radio channel. Loss ESMC is applicable to the Core-E/CorEvo
Ethernet ports and Radio interfaces (MPT ODU/MPT-HL/MPT-HLC/MPT-HLS)
configured with SSM support enabled and is assigned as a synchronous clock source input.

A Loss Of Signal alarm indicates that no signal is present on the incoming Sync-in port.

A Synchronization Signal Fail alarm indicates that the received source signal is not
applicable as a Sync Source.

A 1588 TC Fail alarm indicates, due to radio impairments, TC time stamping can not be
guaranteed due to the alignment of the local and remote counters.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Product Information Manual to determine card location
and address.

3. Troubleshoot any of the following:


a. Degrade
b. Loss Ethernet synchronization messaging channel
c. Loss of signal
d. Synchronization signal fail
e. 1588 TC Fail
Degrade
1. Degrade
What is the sync source?
a. If Degrade - Sync-In, go to step 2.
b. If Degrade - Radio port, go to step 7.
c. If Degrade - DS1, E1, OC-3, or STM-1 port, go to step 12.
2. Degrade - Sync-In
Verify that the Sync reference source (GPS or other sync source) is
functioning correctly.
3. Verify the Sync-In cabling and connections to the sync-in port on the Core-E,
CorEvo card or MSS-1 unit (main and spare, if equipped).

27 — Duplicate Address Detected alarms

27.1 — Purpose
This procedure describes how to identify and clear Duplicate Address Detected alarms.

27.2 — General
Duplicate address detected alarm is raised when a duplicate IPv6 address is detected on a
TMN LAN interface. The following TMN LAN interfaces are checked for a duplicate
address:

• IPv6 Global Unicast address assigned to:


• TMN Local Ethernet interface
• TMN User Ethernet Port 4 interface
• TMN In-Band port #1/2 interface
• TMN-RF Point-to-Point interface
Note: If access to the NE with the incorrect IPv6 address is through the TMN port in alarm,
communication with the NE will be lost when the address is changed. The TMN address
must be changed locally or a different TMN interface must be established to communicate
with the NE.

Note: When a different TMN interface is not available o communicate with the NE with
the incorrect IPv6 address, it is required to correct the IPv6 address on-site.

See the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR Product Information Manual to determine card location
and address.
