1 Overview
1.1 Purpose
This document provides guidance for operators and onsite operation and maintenance (O&M)
personnel to avoid recurrence of certain faults and major accidents on the live network.
Solution None
Version in This problem is not resolved in the product version, because RET
Which the configuration is optional.
Problem Will
Be Solved
Root Cause The NCM_RECV task monitored a port (not the port 6007). The
port was selected after three TCP handshakes, and received an RST
packet sent by the Nessus before accepting the request. Then, the
port did not receive any connecting request, and the NCM_RECV
task was blocked and did not handle the connecting request of the
port 6007. As a result, the eNodeB was disconnected from the
M2000.
Workaround Do not perform a security scan using Nessus on the eNodeB.
Recovery 1. Use Nessus to scan the sites with this fault again.
Measure 5. Telnet ports 6000, 6006, and 4443.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Root Cause When the board is being slowly inserted into the BBU, the
CANBUS module attempts but fails to obtain the slot number of the
board, causing communication faults.
Workaround Insert the board into the BBU quickly and steadily using both
hands.
Recovery Locally, reinsert the board.
Measure Remotely, reset the main control board by running the RST
BRDPWROFF command.
Solution The CANBUS module now obtains the slot number of a newly
inserted board for several times after the board is powered on. If the
obtained slot numbers remain the same, the CANBUS module stops
obtaining the slot number. If the obtained slot numbers differ from
each other, the CANBUS module resets and then attempts to obtain
the slot number again.

2.1.6 After Cells Are Activated and Deactivated, the Cells Cannot
Be Reactivated Using the Same Batch Processing Script and ALM-
29240 Cell Unavailable Is Reported
Symptom After cells are activated and deactivated, the cells cannot be
reactivated using the same batch processing script and ALM-29240
Cell Unavailable is reported.
Impact The cells cannot be reactivated and ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable is
reported.
Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Root Cause A low priority is configured for the queue for receiving eNodeB
internal messages by default, and therefore a delay is generated
when the SCTP link receives messages. In this case, eNodeB
software at the upper layer cannot receive SCTP packets.
Consequently, the SCTP link is interrupted.
Workaround Select a maximum of three options under the MAC Layer Trace
Field check box when enabling Cell DT tracing.
Recovery Clear some options under the MAC Layer Trace Field check box
Measure to allow a maximum of three options to be selected.
Workaround Reset the eNodeB 24 hours later after activating the configuration
file and using an MML command to modify the configuration data.
Recovery If the eNodeB is still managed, use the backup configuration file
Measure to restore the configuration data or run an MML command to
reconfigure the configuration data.
If the eNodeB cannot be managed, restore the configuration data
onsite.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
2.1.10 An eNodeB May Fail to Restore the O&M Link with the
M2000 After Problems for Triggering Transmission Interruption
Have Been Resolved
Symptom An eNodeB may fail to restore the O&M link with the M2000 after
problems for triggering transmission interruption have been
resolved in either of the following scenarios:
Site deployment
eNodeB power-off and reset
O&M transmission modification
External transmission fault
Impact The O&M link between the eNodeB and M2000 is disconnected.
Root Cause DEVIP is the parent object of the IPRT, which takes effect based on
the DEVIP.
When the DEVIP is deleted and then added, the parent object that
the IPRT depends on is deleted. Due to a software defect, the newly
added DEVIP cannot be the parent object for the IPRT. Therefore,
the IPRT has no parent object.
Workaround Do not delete and then add the DEVIP using the CME incremental
scripts.
Recovery Take corresponding measures based on the transmission objects
Measure bore on the IP route:
Services
Delete and add a route again or reset the eNodeB.
O&M channel
Delete and add a route again or reset the eNodeB at the local
site.
Services and O&M channel
Problem can be automatically resolved after the subsystem
abnormally reset.
Solution Change the IPRT's parent object from DEVIP to the
ETH/ETHTRK, which is the parent object of DEVIP.

2.1.12 MAC Address May Be Lost at the O&M Port, Causing
Disconnection Between the eNodeB and M2000 and Service
Interruption After UMPT or LMPT Reset During the IP Address
Modification At the Local Site
Symptom The MAC address may be lost at the O&M port, causing
disconnection between the eNodeB and M2000 and service
interruption after UMPT or LMPT reset during the IP address
modification at the local site.
Impact The eNodeB is disconnected from the M2000 and services are
interrupted.
Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Trigger Condition The cell is blocked by running the BLK CELL command with the
CellAdminState parameter set to CELL_HIGH_BLOCK(High
block) after ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable is reported.
Root Cause The eNodeB does not process ALM-29240 Cell Unavailable after
the cell is deactivated.
Workaround Unblock and then deactivate the cell.
Workaround Remove an RRU only after the SFN cell served by this RRU is
deactivated.
Recovery Run the command again after deactivating the SFN cell.

Impacted Version All V100R008C00 versions earlier than V100R008C00810 and all
V100R008C01 versions earlier than V100R008C01SPC310.
Trigger Condition The MOD CELLDLPCPDSCHPA command is executed within
1s after the MOD PDSCHCFG command is executed.
Root Cause Lack of exclusion protection leads to rewritten of some data.
2.2 V100R004C00
2.2.1 No ALM-26262 Clock Reference Problem Alarm Is Reported
Symptom The GPS and IEEE 1588V2 clocks are unavailable, but ALM-
26262 External Clock Reference Problem is not reported.
Impact The fault identification efficiency is affected.
Trigger Condition The eNodeB is configured with GPS and IP clocks, and the
automatic clock working mode is used. The GPS clock and the IP
clock are unavailable.
Root Cause In the automatic clock working mode, the reference source
repeatedly switches between the IP clock and GPS clock.
Therefore, ALM-26262 External Clock Reference Problem cannot
be reported.
Workaround Run the DSP CLKSRC MML command to check whether the
clock source is available.
%%DSP CLKSRC:;%%
--------------------------
0 GPS Clock 4
Available N/A
0 IP Clock 4
Unavailable Allow
(Number of results = 2)
--- END
Recovery Rectify the faults of GPS clock and IP clock.
Measure
Trigger Condition The eNodeB is configured with neighboring cells and frequencies
are changed by using the CME.
Root Cause When the CME delivers batch configuration information to the
eNodeB for changing the cell frequencies, the neighboring cell
information in the memory is removed by the eNodeB.
Therefore, after batch configuration is complete using the CME, the
neighboring cell information can be queried in the database, but the
neighboring cell information in the memory has been removed.
Therefore, neighboring cell information cannot be found during
handovers.
If intra-frequency neighboring cells are removed or modified on the
CME, the eNodeB reports the cell removal or modification failure.
Workaround 1. Remove all the neighboring cell information.
12. Change the cell frequencies.
13. Add all the neighboring cell information by reconfiguring the
neighboring cells.
Recovery Add all the neighboring cell information again after removing it.
Measure
Solution When changing the cell frequencies for the new version, do not
remove the neighboring cell information.

2.2.3 ALM-26235 RF Unit Maintenance Link Failure Alarm Is
Reported
Symptom ALM-26235 RF Unit Maintenance Link Failure Alarm and ALM-
26202 Board Overload are reported.
Impact The High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) link of the RRU cannot
be set up, which results in service interruption.
Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Trigger Condition Uploading of many logs, too many users, and other unknown
reasons cause the CPU overload of the main control board and the
ALM-26202 Board Overload.
Root Cause The overload of main control board lasting for about five minutes
causes a baseband processing board reset. After the baseband
processing board reset, there is a low possibility that the sequence
of initializing the HDLC information and sending requests for
setting up the HDLC link reversed. In this case, the HDLC link
cannot be set up.
Workaround None
Trigger Condition The IP route and the route bound with the OMCH are configured in
the same network segment.
The next hop of the configured IP route is the same as that of the
route bound with the OMCH.
The eNodeB automatically obtains the OMCH using the DHCP
mechanism 15 minutes after the transmission link is interrupted.
Root Cause An IP route to the M2000 has been configured, and the OMCH
obtained using the DHCP mechanism may not be bound with a
route. As a result, when the configured OMCH is bound with a
route, the eNodeB reports ALM-25902 Remote Maintenance Link
Running Data and Configuration Mismatch.
Workaround Configure the route bound with the OMCH in a network segment
different from those of the other configured routes.
Recovery Modify the OMCH information according to the DSP OMCH
Measure command output.
2.3 V100R005C000
2.3.1 HDLC Link Cannot Be Set Up
Symptom The HDLC link cannot be set up when the RRU3235 in eRAN2.2 is
connected to the LBBPd and the common public radio interface
(CPRI) line rate is 9.8 Gbit/s.
Impact When the RRU3235 with the version of MARP 1.7C00 in eRAN2.2
is connected to the LBBPd using a 10 Gbit/s optical module and the
CPRI Line Rate(Gbit/s) parameter is set to AUTO, the CPRI link
is set up properly but the HDLC link cannot be set up. As a result,
the RRU3235 is not available (the link to the RRU3235 is not
reachable and the software version cannot be upgraded).
Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Trigger Condition The RRU3235 in eRAN2.2 is connected to the LBBPd, and the
CPRI Line Rate(Gbit/s) parameter is set to AUTO.
Root Cause The version of the RRU3235 matching eRAN2.2 is MARP 1.7C00.
In this RRU version, errors occur when the CPRI CBB is parsing
the HDLC control word message.
Workaround Connect the RRU in eRAN2.2 to the LBBPc, upgrade the RRU to
eRAN3.0, and then connect the RRU to the LBBPd.
Recovery Run the Add RRUCHAIN command to set the CPRI Line
Measure Rate(Gbit/s) parameter to 4.9. After the setting is complete, the
link between the RRU and BBU can be set up properly. After the
link is set up, the RRU software is automatically upgraded to the
version that matches the LBBPd. After the upgrade is complete, set
the CPRI Line Rate(Gbit/s) parameter to AUTO. Then, the link
can be set up when the CPRI line rate is 9.8 Gbit/s.
Solution None
Trigger Condition In inter-board VLAN networks (LMPT + UTRP, the UTRP is used
for physical transmission, and the LMPT is configured with the
O&M channel and signaling), the local IP address of the O&M
channel on the LMPT and the device IP address of the port on the
UTRP are in the same network segment but with different values.
Root Cause In inter-board VLAN networks, the IP address contained in the
ARP packets cannot be found in the IP address of the local port
when the ARP packets are transmitted over the UTRP. In this case,
the IP address cannot be found and the VLAN tags cannot be
attached to the free ARP packets.
Workaround Set the local IP address of the O&M channel on the LMPT and the
device IP address of the port on the UTRP to the same value.
Recovery Set the local IP address of the O&M channel on the LMPT and the
Measure device IP address of the port on the UTRP to the same value.
Trigger Condition Either of the following conditions is met when the MOD CELL or
ACT CELL command is run:
1. The CPRI link is unsteady, which can be confirmed by querying
whether ALM-26234 BBU CPRI Interface Error is reported.
14. The CPU usage of the LMPT, LBBP, or RRU is greater than
80%, which can be confirmed by running the DSP CPUUSAGE
command.
Root Cause A BBU periodically checks the RRU configuration. After a cell is
activated, the BBU checks the RRU configuration again. However,
if the first check is not finished, this check is ignored. As a result,
the check timer times out and the cell does not provide services.
Workaround None
Trigger Condition The UPD DEVCERT command is used to update the certificate
after the certificate is activated.
Root Cause Activating and updating the certificate involve two independent
procedures. If the certificate is updated after it is activated, the two
procedures interfere with each other, resulting in an internal status
disorder.
Workaround Update the certificate 10 minutes later after activating it.
Recovery 1. Run the DSP CERTMK command to query the eNodeB device
Measure certificate.
16. Run the MOD APPCERT command to change the current
certificate to another one, and then change it to the required
certificate.
NOTE
If the O&M channel is set up between the eNodeB and the M2000, set the
APPTYPE parameter to SSL. If it is set up between the eNodeB and security
gateway, set this parameter to IKE.
17. Run the UPD DEVCERT command to update the certificate.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Trigger The FMU has two versions. Character string FMUB on the bar code
Condition indicates the old version, and other character strings indicate the new
version.
The FMU electronic label fails to be obtained when the following
conditions are met:
The broken FMU on the live networks is replaced.
The version of the new FMU board is different from the original one.
Root Cause The electronic labels uploaded by the two FMU versions are different.
If the new version is replaced by the old version, the upload fails.
Workaround Different versions of FMUs must not be configured to use the same
address.
Run the MOD FMU command to change the communication address
if two versions of FMUs are configured to use the same address.
If the ADD FMU command is executed, the default value of Address
sets to 14, change it to the other value by running the ADD FMU
command.
After the eNodeB resets, the S1 link is faulty. The cause value of
the S1 link fault is License Restriction.
Impact Cells cannot be activated and services cannot be provided.
Trigger Condition There is a possibility that the S1 link becomes faulty when the
configuration file is downloaded and activated by running the
following command:
ACT CFGFILE: EFT=IMMEDIATELY;
Root Cause The S1 link setup is implemented earlier than the license
configuration takes effect.
Workaround None
Recovery Use MML commands to delete the S1 configuration and add the S1
Measure configuration.
Solution Fix the bug so that the correct information about the manufacturer
of the PMU/TCU is configured in the inventory board information.

NER_Ryneveld_Park
O&M #9133
%%/*333624*/MOD RETPORT:CN=0,SRN=60,SN=0,PWRSWITCH=ON;%%
Root Cause The RetPort item is lost in the built-in template. As a result, the
built-in template of the CME cannot be used to configure RET port
data.
Workaround Perform the following operations:
1. Choose CM Express > LTE Application > Create eNodeB to
create a site using the built-in template.
Trigger Condition Remove the corresponding sector by running the ADD CELL
command after adding a cell by running the RMV SEC command.
Root Cause Removal information is not updated to the other modules after the
sector is removed.
Workaround None
Recovery Add a cell by running the ADD CELL command after it is removed
Measure by running the RMV CELL command.
Trigger Condition After a cell is removed, the MOD CELL command is executed to
change the value of MultiRruCellMode from
DIGITAL_COMBINATION to another or from another value to
DIGITAL_COMBINATION.
Root Cause Incorrect uplink and downlink channels are set up after the cell is
modified.
Workaround To change the type of a cell, remove the cell and then add it. Do not
modify the cell by running the MOD CELL command.
Recovery Add a cell by running the ADD CELL command after it is removed
Measure by running the RMV CELL command.
Trigger Condition An optical module not connected to RRUs is inserted into the
LBBPd.
Root Cause If an optical module not connected an RRU is inserted into the
LBBPd, the CPRI CBB module periodically uses the optical time-
consumption function of DOPRA to perform rate negotiation.
Workaround Do not insert an optical module into the LBBPd if the optical
module is not connected to an RRU.
Recovery Remove the optical module in the idle state onsite.
Measure
Trigger Condition The LBBPd board is power off, removed, or inserted during the
startup process.
Root Cause If the LBBPd board is power off, removed, or inserted during the
startup process, it may reset abnormally, and the flash file may be
damaged. In this case, the LBBPd board obtains the version from
the main control board in the security mode. The controller area
network BUS (CANBUS) software on the LBBPd board detects the
three clock signals provided by the field programmable gate array
(FPGA). If the FPGA is not loaded to the LBBPd board within 1
minute, the alarm is displayed on the M2000. If the LBBPd enters
security mode and attempts to obtain software from the main
control board, ALM-26200 Board Hardware Fault persists for six to
eight minutes.
Workaround Do not power off, remove, or insert the LBBPd board during the
LBBPd startup process.
Recovery None
Measure
Solution N/A
Trigger Condition This problem occurs on the network using IPsec when the following
conditions are met:
The eNodeB uses the IKEv1 exchange mode. (IKEv2 is not
involved in this problem.)
IKE negotiation fails due to transmission link fault that occurs
after the IPsec negotiation succeeds.
Root Cause After the IKEv1 rekeying fails (if 70% of SA lifetime has elapsed),
ALM-25891 IKE Negotiation Failure is reported, and the Fading
status flag bit is added to the IKE SA. This flag bit, however, is
unrecognizable to the eNodeB for the alarm processing. As a result,
the eNodeB considers that the IKE SA negotiation succeeds, and
clears the alarm.
Workaround None
Recovery If the IKE negotiation failure is caused by modifying configuration,
Measure check the parameters used for IKE negotiation on the eNodeB and
the security gateway (SeGW), and ensure the parameter consistency
between the eNodeB and the SeGW. If the IKE negotiation failure
is caused by a network fault, wait for the network to recover.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Trigger Condition The CME adds or modifies multiple NTPCs when delivering
incremental configuration, and it adjusts the master flag of an
NTPC.
NOTE
This issue does not occur when MML commands are executed to add or
modify NTPCs.
Root Cause To ensure that there is only one NTPC on the eNodeB when the
CME delivers incremental configuration, the CME changes the
master/slave flag of all NTPCs if the master NTPC is specified. As
a result, batch configuration does not take effect, causing a failure
in changing the master NTPC.
Workaround Run the SET MASTERNTPS command instead of using the CME
to set the master/slave flag of multiple NTPCs.
Recovery Run the STR CFGCHK command to check the configuration and
Measure then run the STR CFGCHKSYNC command to synchronize the
configuration.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Trigger Condition This issue occurs when the following three conditions are met:
When IPsec is enabled on the eNodeB, the public SeGW and the
serving SeGW are not on the same server, and the ESP
authentication algorithm, ESP encryption algorithm, and IKE
version are inconsistent on the public and serving SeGWs.
An OMCH is configured on the eNodeB.
The OMCH is interrupted over 15 minutes.
Root Cause When IPsec is enabled on the eNodeB, IPsec negotiation parameter
settings are inconsistent on the public and serving SeGWs.
Therefore, IPsec negotiation fails and an OMCH cannot be
established.
Workaround Deliver a configuration file in which the ESP authentication
algorithm, ESP encryption algorithm, and IKE version are
consistent between the public SeGW and the serving SeGW.
NOTE
If the public SeGW and the serving SeGW are on the same server, there is no
risk.
Trigger Condition The OMCH is bound to the slot where the UTRP is located, and it
is not bound to the route available between the eNodeB and the
M2000.
Root Cause After transmission is interrupted 15 minutes, an OMCH is created
based on the DHCP response. If the route is not bound to the
OMCH, the OMCH will be bound to the slot where the main
control board is located by default. This is inconsistent with the slot
where the UTRP is located. Therefore, an alarm is reported.
Workaround See the recovery measure.
Recovery 1. Bind the OMCH to the slot where the main control board is
Measure located to clear the alarm. However, the eNodeB configuration
file cannot be exported using the CME because the check by the
CME fails. Note that you can run an MML command to modify
the configuration.
29. Remove the configured route before binding the OMCH to the
slot where the UTRP is located. However, the eNodeB will be
disconnected.
NOTE
For a new eNodeB, take measure 29.
For existing eNodeBs, there are risks when you take the workaround or
recovery measure.
Root Cause Before the upgrade, the eNodeB may incorrectly recognize the
optical port as the electrical port. In this situation, ALM-26223
Transmission Optical Interface Performance Degraded or ALM-
26222 Transmission Optical Interface Error is not reported. If the
transmit and receive power of the optical module exceed the
threshold before the upgrade and the optical port is recognized by
the eNodeB, ALM-26223 Transmission Optical Interface
Performance Degraded or ALM-26222 Transmission Optical
Interface Error is reported.
NOTE
1. Before the upgrade, ALM-26223 Transmission Optical Interface
Performance Degraded or ALM-26222 Transmission Optical Interface
Error is reported correctly if the eNodeB can recognize the optical port.
2. The thresholds configured for ALM-26223 Transmission Optical Interface
Performance Degraded and ALM-26222 Transmission Optical Interface
Error remain the same before and after the upgrade.
Workaround Before the upgrade, run the DSP SFP command to query the power
of the optical module. If the power of the optical module exceeds
the threshold but ALM-26223 Transmission Optical Interface
Performance Degraded or ALM-26222 Transmission Optical
Interface Error is not reported on the M2000, locate the fault for the
optical module or fiber at the site to ensure the transmit and receive
power of the optical module within the normal range.
Recovery After the upgrade, if ALM-26223 Transmission Optical Interface
Measure Performance Degraded or ALM-26222 Transmission Optical
Interface Error is reported, locate the fault for the optical module or
fiber at the site to ensure the transmit and receive power of the
optical module within the normal range.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Root Cause The cell operator ID is not registered and the configuration cannot
be delivered. Therefore, the cell cannot be automatically
reestablished.
Workaround Deactivate and then activate the cell manually after a cell operator
is added or deleted in MOCN scenarios.
Recovery Reactivate the cell manually.

2.4.1 eNodeB Repeatedly Reset Due to Execution of More Than 64
Neighboring Cell Configuration Commands in the Batch
Processing Script
Symptom eNodeB Repeatedly Resets after more than 64 neighboring cell
configuration commands are executed by using the ACT
BATCHFILE batch processing script.
Impact Services are interrupted.
Solution To be determined.
2.4.3 CPRI Line Bit Rate in the DSP CPRILBR Command Output
Occasionally Differs from the Configured Fixed CPRI Line Bit
Rate After the Baseband Processing Board Resets
Symptom After the baseband processing board resets, the CPRI line rate in the
DSP CPRILBR command output occasionally differs from the
configured fixed CPRI line bit rate.
Impact If the CPRI line bit rate in the command output is less than the
configured fixed rate, services are affected.
Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Trigger Condition The CPRI line bit rate between the BBU and the RRU is set to a
fixed value, and the baseband processing board resets.
Root Cause After the baseband processing board resets, the configuration
restoration procedure and CPRI link bit rate initial negotiation
procedure are triggered. The configuration restoration procedure is
to restore the configured fixed CPRI link bit rate to the initial
configuration. The CPRI link bit rate initial negotiation procedure is
to negotiate the CPRI link bit rate, which is determined by the
negotiation result. However, the two procedures are performed at
the same time, resulting in modification conflict, and the
modification fails.
Workaround Set CPRI Line Rate to AUTO.
Solution None
Workaround Run ADD X2 to add the X2 object for the secondary operator.
Recovery Run ADD X2 to add the X2 object for the secondary operator.
Measure
Trigger Condition More than 64 USERPLANEPEER MOs are configured and are
added to the EPGROUP MO. The EPGROUP MO is associated
with the X2 or S1 link.
The GTP-U static check is enabled.
The IP path is faulty in the DSP IPPATH command output.
Root Cause When the GTP-U static check is enabled, ALM-25952 User Plane
Path Fault is reported each time when the eNodeB detects that an IP
path is faulty. If more than 64 USERPLANEPEER MOs are
configured, more than 64 ALM-25952 User Plane Path Fault
records will be reported. However, a maximum of 64 alarm records
can be displayed in the alarm console. As a result, other alarms
cannot be reported.
Workaround Run the MOD GTPU command to change the value of Static
Check Switch from Enable to Disable.
Recovery Rectify the IP path faults to clear ALM-25952 User Plane Path
Measure Fault.
Manually delete ALM-25952 User Plane Path Fault.
Solution The related software defect will be rectified.
Trigger Condition Three or more UEs served by the eNodeB initiate network accesses
and handovers within 1 second.
Three or more S-GW IP addresses are configured on the eNodeB
when three or more UEs initiate network accesses or handovers
simultaneously.
The eNodeB enables the S1 self-setup function.
The S-GW user plane IP address is not configured on the eNodeB.
Root Cause The eNodeB stores the IP path setup requests to the buffer, and the
eNodeB can establish IP paths to only two S-GWs. As a result, the
eNodeB cannot process other IP path setup requests, and network
accesses of UEs are affected.
Workaround If the eNodeB connects to three or more than three S-GWs, do not
enable the S1 self-setup function. Run the following commands to
configure the IP path between the eNodeB and the S-GW:
Run the ADD USERPLANEPEER command to add a user plane
peer.
Run the ADD UPPEER2EPGRP command to add a user-plane
peer to an end point group.
Recovery Same as the workaround.
Measure
Trigger Condition More than 32 SCTP peers are configured and are added to the end
point group for the X2 or S1 interface.
The X2 or S1 interface removed by running the RMV X2 or
RMV S1 command is added again by running the ADD X2 or
ADD S1 command.
Root Cause When more than 32 SCTP peers are configured, a large number
of objects need to be created. However, only 32 buffering
queues are available. As a result, the eNodeB repeatedly
attempts to create these objects and the message processing
mechanism is overloaded.
When the message processing mechanism is overloaded, the CFG
module fails to receive any response. As a result, configuration
commands fail to be executed, and the objects fail to be created.
Workaround Remove all the SCTP peers from the end point group by running
the RMV SCTPPEER2EPGRP command, and then add them to
the end point group again by running the ADD
SCTPPEER2EPGRP command.
Recovery See the workaround.
Measure
Trigger Condition One of the RRUs serving a multi-RRU cell is faulty and the
recovers.
Root Cause When the fault in the RRU is rectified in the preceding scenarios,
the main control board incorrectly calculates the number of Layer 3
cells. As a result, the LBBP capabilities become insufficient.
Workaround Deactivate and then reactivate the multi-RRU cell.
Trigger Condition For an inter-BBU SFN cell, the total number of sector equipment
associated with the primary and secondary BBUs exceeds the
SectorEqmNum parameter value.
Root Cause The number of RRUs configured on the secondary BBUs exceeds
the upper limit. As a result, the inter-BBU SFN cell fails to be
activated on the secondary BBUs.
There is a bug in the mechanism for determining whether to clear
ALM-29243 Cell Capability Degraded.
Workaround Verify that the total number of sector equipment associated with the
primary and secondary BBUs does not exceed the SectorEqmNum
parameter value.
Recovery See the workaround.

Impacted RAT LTE TDD
Trigger Condition The default template of the CME is used to create LampSite sites.
Root Cause The LampSite-specific default template does not include the
EUSECTOREQMGROUP and EUSECTOREQMID2GROUP
MOs.
Workaround Configure the MOs in a summary data file.
Impact Inter-BBU SFN cells cannot be activated. The fault rate is about
0.5%.
Root Cause USU subracks are not reset after the ODIIDs of BBU subracks are
configured by running the SET EQUIPMENT command.
Therefore, the LAN switch port on the UCIU is not protected by
the USU3900 software. In this case, the rate over the LAN switch
port on the UCIU frequently changes with the negotiated rate over
the CI port on the UMPT. As a result, faults occur in the LAN
switch, only one of the two IDX1 channels is normal, and inter-
BBU services are unavailable.
Workaround Reset both the BBU and USU subracks after the ODIIDs of BBU
subracks are configured by running the SET EQUIPMENT
command, to ensure that the open datalink interface (ODI) link
between the BBU and USU is normal.
Recovery Measure Reset the UCIU or SMPT board on the USU subrack by running
the RST BRD command.
Solution Disable the LAN switch on the UCIU during rate negotiation
among inter-BBU optical modules. This prevents the rate over the
LAN switch port being changed.
