Personnel and equipment safety General personnel safety instructions
The personnel must obey the safety instructions specific to the installation including:
rules concerning the premises (see instructions posted on site or in the building) rules linked to the general personnel safety instructions
The personnel working on the cabinet must be authorized to work according to the security standards. The cabinets external mains power supply is switched off by switching off the circuit breaker on the operator box. No work must be done on the cabinet internal wiring without first cutting its external main power supply. This BTS has been evaluated under IEEE C95.1 requirements, regarding safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The leakage fields and equivalent power densities are orders of magnitude less than the maximum permissible exposures (MPEs) given in the IEEE safety guidelines.
Equipment safety instructions
The maintenance of a BTS 18020 is possible down to -40C (~ -40F). A BTS with its doors open stays operational for 3 hours at -105 C (~ -14F), and for one hour at -40C (~ -40F). In the case of rainy or snowy weather, set up a tent before opening the cabinet doors. In windy conditions, be careful when opening and closing cabinet doors to prevent damage to equipment or harm to people. Hold doors firmly until properly secured the door latch mechanism. It is not recommended to do maintenance in very windy conditions.

Chapter 1 How to use this manual

1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Corrective maintenance
Corrective maintenance for a BTS 18000 has two steps:
Locate and identify faulty equipment. Nortel GSM BTS 6000 and 18000 Fault Clearing (411-9001-161) provides fault location and troubleshooting information. The alarms and notifications described in Nortel GSM BSS Fault ManagementMaintenance Principles (411-9001-039) also provide detailed information and guidance. Replace faulty equipment. This manual describes the replacement procedures.
Whenever a network component detects a fault, it sends an alarm to an Operation and Maintenance Radio (OMC-R). A fault number identifies each alarm. Nortel GSM BTS 6000 and 18000 Fault Clearing (411-9001-161) contains procedures associated with each fault number. Faulty equipment can also trigger several alarms. Nortel GSM BSS Fault ClearingAdvanced Maintenance Procedures (411-9001-105) provides procedures to help an operator locate the fault. It also helps an operator resolve abnormal operation in a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a TransCoding Unit (TCU), a Base Station Controller (BSC), Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) links, or BTS entities.
1.1.2 Preventive maintenance

By performing periodic preventive maintenance, the user can test equipment that does not directly trigger any alarm at the OMC-R. However, the execution of these procedures may trigger alarms at the OMC-R. Preventive maintenance for a BTS 18000 involves two steps:
Test the equipment. Replace any faulty equipment. This manual describes the replacement procedures.
14 Chapter 1 How to use this manual
1.1.3 Intervention restrictions

There may be a lapse of time between the identification of the alarm at the OMC-R and the time the operator responsible for the intervention arrives at the site. The operator must be synchronized with the OMC-R (by telephone) before an on-site intervention, in the following cases:
isolating procedure intervention because alarms are triggered at the OMC-R completion of an on-site intervention return to service procedure

Chapter 3 Description of a start-up

3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the elements linked to a BTS 18000 start-up. The procedure for powering on and off the BTS 18000 is detailed, and a flowchart presents the BTS start-up. The behavior of the LEDs for each module is described in Chapter 3 BTS 18000 cabinet description. See Nortel GSM BTS 18000 Fundamentals (411-9001-160).
3.1.1 External BTS 18000 synchronization on GPS 3.1.1.1 Start-up

The start-up of a BTS 18000 that has GPS equipment installed is as follows:
The BTS power-up induces a power-up of the True Position GPS receiver (TMU or LMU + EIU):
During the start-up of these modules (which can take up to

30 minutes), their LEDs blink in yellow. Once the start-up is complete (and the modules are available as a source of GPS synchronization), these LEDs stop blinking and become green.
The BTS starts synchronized first on its internal clock and then on the BSC using the Abis link.
If GPS synchronization has been selected (during configuration),

the OMC-R requests the BTS 18000 to synchronize on GPS.
If the GPS equipment is still in its own start-up phase, the BTS
remains synchronized on Abis until GPS becomes available. Consequently, there can be delay of up to 30 minutes between the activation of the GPS synchronization function on the OMC-R and its actual implementation by the network.
Once GPS becomes available, radio traffic is lost while the BTS
18000 synchronizes onto GPS.
36 Chapter 3 Description of a start-up
3.1.1.2 ICM LED management

If GPS synchronization is being used, the active ICM LED behavior is as follows:
If the BTS 18000 is synchronized on GPS, the G LED is ON (green) and the four SYN LEDs are ON. If the GPS has been lost (return to holdover mode): the G LED is ON (green), the H LED is ON (red), and the four SYN LEDs are ON. When the GPS comes back, the H LED is switched off only after the internal clock is in phase again with GPS. When the ICM detects the synchronization signal again (from the GPS receiver or from the master BTS), four SYN LEDs blink three times.
For a detailed description of the ICM LEDs in this case, see Nortel GSM BTS 18000 Fundamentals (411-9001-160).
3.1.1.3 Power-off
Any maintenance that requires a BTS power-off, will lead to a loss of GPS. At BTS restart, the GPS equipment will perform a cold start-up.
3.1.2 External BTS 18000 synchronization on a master BTS

In this case, the BTS 18000 can only be the slave BTS; it cannot be the master. The master BTS can be an S8000 BTS or S12000 BTS. It is also referred to as 8 kHz synchronization.
3.1.2.1 Start-up
The start-up of a BTS 18000 that uses external BTS synchronization is as follows:
If the master BTS is already available, the slave BTS 18000 starts synchronized on the master. If the master BTS is not available (the associated alarm is "Master synchronization unavailable"), the slave BTS 18000 starts synchronized on its internal clock and then on the Abis link. If the master BTS becomes available later, the slave BTS 18000 then resynchronizes onto the master BTS. Radio traffic is lost during this resynchronization.
3.1.2.2 Master BTS becomes unavailable

If a slave BTS 18000 is synchronized on a master BTS and the master becomes unavailable (the associated alarm is "Loss of master SY"), the slave BTS 18000 continues operating using Abis synchronization. When the ICM detects the synchronization signal again (from the GPS receiver or from the master BTS), four SYN LEDs blink three times.
3.1 Introduction
37
3.1.2.3 Loss of Master GSM time

If the slave BTS 18000 loses the external GSM time (the associated alarm is "Loss of master GSM time"), the slaves remains synchronized on the 8 kHz synchronization. For more information, see case 3 in Nortel GSM BTS 18000 Fundamentals (411-9001-160).
3.2 BTS 18010/BTS 18010 NG2 power-on/power-off

4.3 Checks at the OMC-R

4.3.1 Preliminary checks before performing preventive maintenance procedures
Preventive maintenance procedures can be performed only when there are no alarms on the equipment concerned. Before taking any action, check the OMC-R Browser browser windows at the OMC-R, which provide a means of graphically monitoring the network. When the graphical elements of the display are gray, no alarms are active. The preventive maintenance procedures can be performed.
4.3.2 Final checks after having performed preventive maintenance procedures

After having performed the preventive maintenance procedures, check that the network has resumed its correct operation. The graphical objects must appear without any alarm in the OMC-R Browser browser windows at the OMC-R. The preventive maintenance procedures are complete. If there are alarms on the graphical objects concerned, check the condition of the site using the Display all command on the btsSiteManager object:
If the operationalState is enabled, clear the alarms to complete the preventive maintenance procedures. If the operationalState is disabled, set the btsSiteManager object to locked and then back to unlocked, and then perform the Display hardware information command of the btsSiteManager object:
If all equipment is operating, clear the active alarms. The

preventive maintenance procedures are complete.
If certain items of equipment have failed, see the replacement

procedures.
4.4 Site state change alarm at the OMC-R

In some faults cases, the BTS is unable to send alarms to the OMC-R A "site state change" alarm displayed at the OMC-R indicates a loss of site.
4.4.1 BTS state

This happens when the mains power supply is not present The following elements may be involved:
circuit breakers high temperature and low temperature thermostats CCU or ADU module (BTS 18020 and BTS 18020 NG) power supply rack (BTS 18020 and BTS 18020 NG)
4.4.2 On-site checking procedures (for BTS 18020 and BTS 18020 NG)
Step 1 Action Safety instructions
DANGER
Electric shock
The BTS remains supplied with the mains power supply, so take care while handling the equipment.
Check the mains power supply with a voltmeter at the AC input. a If power is present, go to step 3. b If there is no power, check the site circuit breaker.
3 4
Check that the circuit breakers on the ADU module are in the "I" position. Check that the circuit breakers on the DDU module are in the "I" position. In case of a new break when switching on a circuit breaker, disconnect all modules connected to that circuit breaker and try again a If there is no new break, one of the modules is the source of the problem. b If there is still a break when switching on the circuit breaker, replace DDU and power supply rack of UCPS. For more information, see 5.2.13 Replacing a UCPS rack and DDU (BTS 18020) (page 131).
4.5 Preventive maintenance procedure sheets
57
Check the green LEDs on the rectifiers. a If all the LEDs are on, go to step 6. b If all the LEDs are off, replace the ADU module. For more information, see 5.2.13 Replacing a UCPS rack and DDU (BTS 18020) (page 131). Then go to the next step.
Check the LEDs on the CCU. a If the rectangle corporate LED is green and the triangle corporate LED is off, go to the next step. b If the triangle corporate LED is red, or if the two corporate LEDs are off, replace the CCU.
Check the ambient temperature in the BTS. a If the temperature is normal, the temperature sensor of the CDMA/GSM CCU (CAT) is the cause of the failure. Replace the CCU module. For more information, see Figure 42 "Rectifier module (1000 or 1400 W) and Filler" (page 129). b If the temperature seems out of range, the ECU module is the most likely cause of the failure. Check ECU behavior, and replace some of its components. For more information, see ADU module.
Additional operation:
Make sure that the possible faults have been cleared.
The procedure is complete.

Defense against CIBP or IBP mis-cabling

This section describes the various impacts of mis-cabling IBP and CIBP configurations and the associated defense mechanisms.
CIBP configuration versus IBP configuration

The maximum physical implementation in a CIBP-based BTS18000 is the same as an IBP-based one except:
Both ICMs must be slotted in the even CIBP. The odd CIBP hosts only the additional IFM. If IFMs, ICMs, and cables are installed on CIBPs as in IBPs, both ICMs will start active in simplex mode. Asymmetrical Shared Abis cable between the IFMs. No inter-CIBP and inter-IFM cables
A CIBP enables the use of ICM redundancy within a single digital shelf cabinet (but ICM redundancy removes the SPM-linked evolutions). The CIBP/DBP interconnection architecture is shown in Nortel GSM BTS 18000 Fundamentals (411-9001-160). The three slots for each CIBP are the following:
IFM in slot 0 ICM in slot 1 optional ICM or SPM in slot 2
The CIBP also interconnects to DBP (inventory and power). Case 1: IBP configuration mis-cabled as a CIBP configuration The IFM in slot 0 and the first ICM in slot 1 will act normally in a simplex configuration as long as the inter-IBP cable is correctly cabled to the second IBP or to the IBP terminator. However, it is physically impossible to slot a second ICM in an IBP backplane (due to keys). If the user tries to implement a CIBP configuration on an IBP-based cabinet, inserting the second ICM is not possible. Case 2: CIBP configuration mis-cabled as an IBP configuration The correct cabling for a CIBP configuration is shown in Figure 38 "IFM, ICM, and ABM cables for a CIBP/DBP configuration" (page 122).
127
It is physically possible to mis-cable a dual CIBP configuration (as if it was a dual IBP one):
There is one IFM for each CIBP in slot 0. There is one ICM for each CIBP in slot 1. There is a Shared Abis and a Cross Connect Cable between the IFMs. Each ICM will start in active mode. Each card is seen in simplex mode in the even position with all correct detection signals. ABM D-LINK selection locks on the even ICM so the odd ICM is isolated from the ABMs. Visual check of the ICM LEDs displays activity on both ICMs and inconsistency in external PCM LEDs between both ICMs, which is abnormal and should be detected by the technician on site. For more information, see Nortel GSM BTS 18000 Fundamentals (411-9001-160) Each ICM receives a normal clock on the Abis lines, but double line adaptation is provided. It is probable that both ICMs get a clock that is good enough to lock their PLL on. Each ICM tries to transmit on the Abis lines, so there is some electrical contention. There is no destruction risk but it is possible that corrupted messages are seen at the level 2 layer on the OMC-R.

5.2.44 Replacing a cable

This general procedure can be used to replace the cables of the BTS 18010 and BTS 18020. It is a general procedure and not specific to any one type of cable. For more information, see the Table 49 "BTS 18010 internal RF cables" (page 218). Cables that are completely external to the BTS (for example, feeder cables going up to the antenna, AC main power supply cables, etc.) are not described in this document and this procedure does not apply to them. The cables that can be replaced using this general cable replacement procedure are listed in the tables below. The tables are organized by type of cable (RF, digital, other) and whether they are internal (each end of the cable is connected inside the BTS 18000 cabinet) or external (one end is connected outside the BTS 18000 cabinet). In these tables, a PEC marked by an asterisk * indicates the RoHS version. While using the procedure, the user needs to have replacement cables only for the defective cables that are going to be replaced (the user do not need to have all the cables listed in these tables).

Impact of the test on the service CAUTION

The impact on service depends on the cable concerned and its current state. If the cable is totally defective, removing it will not affect the service (since the cable is no longer performing its intended function). If the cable is partially defective (for example, due to an intermittent fault), removing it will stop it from performing its intended function even partially.
DANGER
Electric shock
Location
The exact location depends on the cable. See Figure 1 "BTS 18010 with BCF on IBP/CIBP (not supporting Abis over IP)" (page 17).
Procedure
Step 1 Action Identify the defective cable. a Do a visual inspection. It is unusual for the cable itself to become defective except as a result of some external action (for example, the cable may have been cut accidently during a another maintenance or upgrade operation, or it may have been damaged deliberately in the case of access by some unauthorized person). In case of defect, it is more likely to be the cable connector rather than the cable itself that is the cause. This is more likely to be as a result of an external action rather than any normal operation. b If necessary, ask the OMC-R operator (who should be aware of any alarms or anomalies that can help identify the cable concerned). c In certain cases, TIL may be of help. 2 Check that the user has a replacement cable of the appropriate type and length. a The PEC of the replacement cable should be the same as that of the defective cable. b The replacement cable must be of sufficient length to give the same reach as the defective cable. Since cables of different
235
lengths have different PECs, if the user verified the previous condition, this condition should also be satisfied. c If the user do not have an appropriate replacement cable, the user should abandon the procedure, and start from the beginning once the appropriate replacement cable has been obtained. 3 Tag the cable connector at each end of the defective cable. The user can do this using adhesive tape or an adhesive label. This tag should show the exact position where the connector is fitted. An example of a cable with tags in shown in Figure 71 "Example of defective cable with tags near connectors" (page 233) . a Start from either end of the defective cable. b Write the exact module number (DDM0, RM, etc.) and the exact position (Tx0, Rx1, etc.) on the adhesive tag. c Go to the other end of the defective cable (if necessary, use fingers to follow the cable to its other end). d Write the exact module number (DDM0, RM, etc.) and the exact position (Tx0, Rx1, etc.) on the adhesive tag. 4 Inform the OMC-R operator that the cable is ready to be disconnected. The OMC-R operator will take whatever action (if any) needed on the OMC-R and will inform the user when to proceed. Disconnect the cable at each end. a Start from either end of the defective cable. b Disconnect the cable (the tool used depends on the type of connector). c Repeat the previous operation for the other connector. d Remove the cable (if the cable is tied to other cables with Ty-wraps, cut the Ty-wraps). 6 Visually compare the replacement cable with the defective cable. a The connectors on both cables should be of the same types. b The cables should be of comparable length. For the replacement of the CSU-RICAM cable, due to the difference in cable lengths, make a loop in the cable above the digital rack. Tie the cable with straps. 7 Install the replacement cable. a Ensure that the user installs the replacement cable at the exact same locations as the defective cable. If necessary, look at the tags that is attached to the defective cable at Step 3.
236
b If the defective cable was tied to other cables with Ty-wraps, re-tie it with new Ty-wraps). 8 Inform the OMC-R operator that the cable has been replaced. The OMC-R operator will take whatever action (if any) needed on the OMC-R. Dispose of the defective cables in accordance with the companys policy for defective equipment. The user may remove the adhesive tags that was placed on the cable at Step 3. The procedure is complete.

6.5 TX test
6.5.1 Introduction
This test enables a TX to be configured in a special test mode in order to monitor its transmission power in a given channel. The following procedure is performed either in standalone mode (BTS not operational) or in connected mode after TX isolation. See Nortel GSM BTS CommissioningTML User Guide (411-9001-051).
6.5.2 TX test procedure

Step 1 Action TX isolation
252
a If the BTS is in connected mode, isolate the TX. b Install the test bench of the power measurement. 2 Equipment installation Install the measuring equipment on the transmission channel and check that the transmitter load is correct. For more information, see Figure 74 "Installation for the TX test procedure" (page 253). 3 Checks a For the TX to be examined, run the "BCCH configuration" menu of the PA object. b Enter the value "47" (maximum output power in dBm). c Enter the value of the selected channel. Enter either the value of the frequency of the TX being measured, or one of the following central values:
190 for GSM 850 62 for GSM 900 975 for EGSM 900 699 for GSM 1800 661 for GSM 1900
When the TX receives the information, a message indicates the correct configuration. The TX begins to transmit. d Read the value displayed by the measuring device. e Add the attenuation caused by the measurement and the attenuation caused by the equipment and the internal cables. f Check that the final result corresponds to the theoretical value.
g Stop the radio module Transmission using Transmission stop command. 4 TX de-isolation De-isolate the TX.
