Check the antenna cabling. Check also that the channels used in the TBS have at least 150kHz channel
spacing. In the case of the ATC800 variant 7996, check that the channels have a minimum of 300 kHz
channel spacing.
If the cavity has set itself to the parked state, some combiner types (for example Combilent) may not try to
retune anymore; instead, they raise the alarm again. In such a case, configure some other frequency (with
150kHz/300kHz channel spacing as minimum, depending on the ATC variant) for the TTRX connected to the
cavity in question and switch the TX on to enable the retuning to the cavity. After that, restore the original
frequency.
If cavity’s transmission status (supplementary information field 3) indicates that the transmission was not on in
the cavity, it is possible that there is external interference on the same frequency which triggered on the alarm.
If the antenna cabling was in order, no configuration faults or external interference can be found, replace the
faulty Auto-Tuned Combiner.

The alarm is cancelled when the user sets the TTRX connected to the faulty combiner (cavity) to the WO-EX
state and transmitting, and the fault condition has been cleared in the combiner. Note that depending on the
combiner type and the nature of the fault, the cavity may require that another frequency is configured to it,
before the retuning is enabled again and the alarm is cancelled from the system. Note also that in some cases
the combiner keeps the fault status on a minimum of five minutes, during which the recovery will not work.
If the alarm is raised again in approximately one minute after it was cancelled from the system, set the TTRX
connected to the faulty combiner (cavity) to the WO-EX state and transmitting again.

03 - file not found (configuration)
FF - no reason available (DNS)
Instructions
DHCP server problem:
The TBS has detected that it cannot get its IP configuration from the DHCP server. The DHCP server can be
unreachable, meaning that the server is down or the IP connectivity between the TBS and the DHCP server is
broken. Alternatively, the DHCP server is misconfigured and therefore cannot give its IP settings to the TBS.
If the DHCP server is unreachable, the network operator should be contacted in order to find a solution to
the problem. Also the DHCP server availability should be checked.
If the DHCP server is misconfigured, the DHCP server configuration should be checked.
DNS server problem:
The TBS has detected that it cannot get a response from the DNS server. Either the DNS server is
unreachable, meaning that the server is down, or the IP connectivity between the TBS and tge DNS server
is broken.
Contact the network operator to find a solution to the problem. Check also the DNS server's availability
and configuration.
Configuration server problem:
The TBS has detected that it cannot get its configuration from the Configuration server. There are three
alternative reasons for this alarm to be raised:
1. The configuration server is unreachable, meaning that the OMU is down, the IP connectivity between
the TBS and OMU is broken or that a wrong Configuration server address is configured to the TBS.
2. Authentication failure, meaning that the Configuration server username or password do not mach in
TBS and OMU.
3. Configuration file not found on server, meaning that the server does not contain the configuration file
the TBS is looking for.
If the Configuration server is unreachable, the network operator should be contacted in order to find a
solution to the problem. Also the OMU availability and the Configuration server address configured in the
TBS should be checked.
In case of the authentication failure, check that the TBS username and password match in the OMU and TBS.
In case of the configuration file not found on server failure, it is possible that the TBS is not correctly
configured to the DXT.

Instructions
The alarm does not require any actions, unless it is not cancelled automatically in approximately 1 min or if it
occurs very frequently in a certain cavity.
NOTE: Most of the combiner types detect only 12.5 kHz and higher frequency changes. To be able to monitor
small frequency changes (<20 kHz), set the transmitter first to a temporary frequency, which has more than
20 kHz difference to the old and new frequencies. This restriction does not apply to the signalling-based
tuning, where the combiner always makes a new tuning even if the frequency is not changed.
Cancelling

missing heartbeat signal. This may be caused because of a failure in the external system or in the network
connection. The IP address of the external system is shown in the supplementary information of the alarm.
The impact of the fault depends on the type of external system. Typically an external system is some kind
of network element management application and the failure does not affect the traffic capacity of the
network element.
1. IP address of the external system using the EMTv2 connection.
2. ID of the client using the EMTv2 connection in the external system.
Instructions
Check the operation and the connection of the external system identified by the IP-address (supplementary
information).
With QRS MML command the state of the IP connection in the network element side can be checked (e.g.
SIPU,0,0::ALL:SYM=YES;). The state of the IP connection should be ESTABLISHED.
With QRX MML command a ping command can be given to external system (e.g.
QRX:SIPU,0,0:::IP="172.21.118.130";). If ping also works, the fault is most probably in the application running
in the external system. Check the operation of the external system identified by the IP-address.
If the reason for the alarm cannot be solved, computer unit log should be taken with ZGD service terminal
command and alarm history with AHP MML command.
Fill in a Problem Report and send it to your local EADS Customer Service Center. Include previously
mentioned log files on the problem report.
Cancelling
6904 DWS-TDSC DATA LINK CONNECTION LOST
Meaning
The connection between the DWS and the TDSC is lost too many times within a certain time limit.
1. 1 TLC_LINK1
2 TLC_LINK2
Instructions
Check the serial cable between the TDSC and the DWS. Check also the connection parameters in the
TDSC and the DWS.
Cancelling
The alarm is cancelled by a program block when the data link connection is working.
6906 DSP COMMUNICATION FAILURE IN TDSC UNIT
Meaning
The DSP prosessor doesn't reply the congiguration request. The obvious fault is that in some reason
communication between DSP and CPU is not working. Probably this problem is coused by the hardware
failure. If this alarm is raised for any DSP then TDSC will not do the resource changes that DXT would request.
1. the DSP processor in question
1 SDDSP
2 MDSP1
3 MDSP2
Instructions
If the alarm is raised by the Resource Management of TDSC for any DSP then the state of TDSC is changed
to SE-OU in DXT. This means that the TDSC card is not working and should be replaced.
Cancelling
If the alarm is canceled by the Resource Management for all DSPs for which alarm was raised then the state
of TDSC should be changed back to WO-EX. When the alarm is canceled the TDSC becomes operational
immediately. (It should be noted that the probability of the faulty TDSC to become operational is small.)
