Description This procedure describes the Telnet commands that can be used remotely to check Ethernet
Port of the Node B (B) Daisy Chained under test.
NOTE: Node B tests through remote Telnet commands have to be understood as extension of
the WMS based Node B tests and provide additional information (e.g. to support trouble
shooting)
NOTE: Node B tests through Telnet commands are remote tests and do not required site
access to the equipment under test.
Node B (B) This procedure describes how to check the Ethernet Port of Node B (B) with usage of Telnet
Ethernet Port commands.

Tools Requirements
General This section describes the required hardware and software tools to perform the described
integration testing step.
Hardware Tool The hardware tools listed in the following table are required to perform the integration tests.
Software Tool The software tool listed in the following table are required to perform the commissioning test
Description This procedure describes all cabinet dependent alarms and how the alarms need to be
mapped to the external alarms.
Alarm Collection The following figure illustrates how the individual alarms are connected to the alarm collection
Device device.
NOTE: All alarms are collected through the alarm collection device (eAM) and sent via the BBU
to the OAM center which will display the individual alarms.
NOTE: In case of stacking of the cabinet, the alarm outputs of the upper cabinet controller will
be connected to the input of the cabinet controller of the lower cabinet. The alarm port must be
considered as an OR of the possible alarms inputs from upper and lower cabinet.
Frame Alarms The following cabinet alarms can be generated in the LR cabinet and are considered part of the
definition internal alarms (frame alarms):
Door Intrusion
Fan unit failure
Filter unit 1
Filter unit 2
Over temperature
Under temperature
TRDU FAN failure
Air flow (equivalent to the Filter unit 2, but supported in WCDMA)
NOTE: The two Filter unit alarms are related to the size of the cabinet (small/compact)
implying a different size of the filter.
The following power related alarms can be generated for the primary rectifier shelf if available:
AC Mains
Rectifier minor failure
Rectifier Major failure
Battery Major failure
Battery minor failure
PSU Controller failure
surge protection
WMS Display The following table describes the WMS display rules according to the Node B configuration
Rules used in the LR cabinet.

For D2U own alarms: fan alarms are treated as usually.
For D4U, there are 2 fan trays inside, so when alarms are reported to WMS, the serial number
of FAN A or the serial partners number of FAN B must be included in the respective additional
information field of FAN alarm.

971x LR Cabinet remotely through remote TIL connection and WMS.
NOTE: For trouble shooting reasons it is possible to execute the procedure at site through
local TIL connection.
NOTE: The LR cabinets TIL GUI have the same shelf/slot as D2U/D4U. Only the BTS
packaging displays the LR cabinet type under use:
9711 Light Radio Indoor cabinet AC
9712 Light Radio Outdoor cabinet AC
9711 Light Radio Indoor cabinet DC
9712 Light Radio Outdoor cabinet DC

Scope of This section provides detailed information how to perform the migration from d2U/BBU to the 9926
migration d4U.
Scope Migration of CCM-U board types and backhaul interfaces and migration of CEM-U board types
restriction are not in the scope of this procedure. Separate procedures are available inside the IEH521 to
support
CCM-U and backhaul interface migration
CEM-U migration
NOTE: If demanded the migrations of d2U/BBU, CCM-U and/or CEM-U should be carried out
together, following their individual procedures.
Supported Node The following table explains which Node B types are eligible for the migration from d2U/BBU to
B types 9926 d4U.

requirements migration.
and order
information
Table 4: Hardware material requirements and order information
NOTE: CCM-U and CEM-U boards available from the d2U/BBU before swap may be re-used in
the 9926 d4U shelf. Additionally required CCM-U (in case of dual Node B configuration) and
CEM-U boards have to be made available through the material requirements. For configuration
and ordering details see MOPG d4U- Applicable methods documents
NOTE: Additional or different cables may be demanded through further migrations (e.g.
backhaul interface migration on CCM-U). The cable requirements to support further migrations
are documented in the CCM-U board migration procedure and CEM-U board migration
procedure

Equipment
Safety
Requirements
IMPORTANT: In all the following procedures and steps the ESD foam must be
provided and must be used during any operation on board and the bench.
IMPORTANT : EMC sealing joints being fragile, shocks and hand contact
must be avoided.
Description This chapter describes the preparations to be done before launching the migration process.
Power / Energy
requirements
Transport
reconfiguration
requirements
IMPORTANT: Before going on site to perform migration operations, ensure that
transport team is aware of the backhaul modification (if required).
NOTE: Include already available x/eCCM-U modules from d2U/BBU into the check. All
boards with alarm status (LEDs in Red status) are not recommended to be used for the
migration.
The packaging is straight up and does not show any visible sign of faulty storing or handling.
Sufficient cables are available for the migration.
All personal and product safety requirements are being met.
Pre-Installation Verify the following items have been received and/or accomplished before proceeding with the
Checklist installation procedure.
