This chapter describes the maintenance categories, common maintenance methods,
precautions and maintenance record tables.

1.1 Maintenance Categories

Maintenance is categorized into following two types:
l Routine Maintenance
l Emergency Maintenance

Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance tasks come under the preventive maintenance operation tasks. The
preventive maintenance operations are performed on a scheduled basis to monitor the
system regularly, and to get sustained service from ZXSDR BS8800. Routine maintenance
allows maintenance personnel to identify potential sources of hazards, which enable the
maintenance personnel to resolve these problems in time. Performing these tasks in a
timely manner can lengthen the life of components and therefore reduce system-down
time.
The goal of routine maintenance is to enhance the system performance and service for
a longer period of time at minimum usage of resources. Resources that are minimized
include minimization of unnecessary initialization, diagnostics, and ZXSDR BS8800 site
visits.

Emergency Maintenance
Emergency maintenance is a kind of unpredictable maintenance. It means the immediate
troubleshooting for the failed equipments when there is an emergency. The key target of
emergency maintenance is to restore the service as soon as possible. Network operator
should refer to this guide to prepare the emergency failure handling regulation and provide
trainings for staff.

ZXSDR BS8800 Routine Maintenance Guide

Determine the potential causes of the fault, if possible, perform troubleshooting according
to this guide. In addition, contact the ZTE customer support center for advanced technical
support.
Collect the alarm information and hard copies of the failure. Send the related failure
handling report and event logs to ZTE for analysis.

1.2 Common Maintenance Methods

This section describes some common methods for analyzing and troubleshooting
faults, which are different from the troubleshooting methodology. The troubleshooting
methodology is a kind of thinking rule, which guides the practice of detailed troubleshooting
methods. Following is the detailed description of common maintenance methods.

Fault Analysis
Generally, a wireless network consists of various equipment entities. The fault symptom
of a kind of equipment entity is different from that of other kinds. Therefore, when
maintenance personnel finds a fault or receives a fault report, he/she should analyze the
fault symptom and judge from what kind of equipment entity the fault comes first. Then
check the equipment entity further.
The analysis of fault symptom is important especially for emergent faults. To avoid wrong
maintenance operations on normal equipment entities, maintenance personnel should
analyze fault symptoms carefully and locate faulty equipment entity correctly. Moreover,
it costs less time to troubleshoot faults on the basis of correct analysis.

Replacement Method
The replacement method is used to locate fault. For example, when a fault occurs, replace
a possible faulty part with a normal spare one. If the fault disappears, it can be judged that
the replaced part is faulty.
The principle of part replacement is as follows: Replace the part which reports alarm with
a good one. If the alarm disappears, it indicates that this part is the faulty one. If the alarm
still exists after the part is replaced, analyze the fault further and replace other parts which
are possibly faulty.
The replacement method is simple and practical. Moreover, it can be used to compare the
status, parameters, logs and parameter configuration of same parts for inconsistency.

Note:

The replacement operation is only carried out in safe time period to avoid service
interruption.

 Chapter 1 Maintenance Overview

1.3 Common Maintenance Precautions

Overview
Before and during maintenance, take necessary precautionary measures to ensure safety
of the maintenance personnel and smoothness of maintenance tasks.

Safety Precautions
The power supply input voltage exceeds safety limits for human contact. Ensure adequate
safety measures to avoid any electric shock risk or equipment damage.

Operation Precautions
Ensure the following precautions during maintenance:

l ESD Procedures
The proper ESD procedures must be followed before working with the ZXSDR BS8800
modules.
l Handling RF Cables and Connections
à Avoid sharp bends.
à Follow required procedures while handling with connections, especially which
require the use of torque wrenches.
à Never apply power to a RF cable or disconnect a RF cable, when it is in working
mode.
l Other Precautions
à Make record of all maintenance procedures and steps including version
upgrades, data backup and troubleshooting.
à Ensure the availability of frequently used tools and meters, screw drivers
(Philips-/Flathead-screwdrivers), signaling meter, network cable pliers,
multimeter, and network cables. Check and calibrate meters to ensure accuracy.
à Check spare parts and components frequently to ensure their availability and
intactness. Mark and store damaged parts after maintenance at some separate
place. Avoid storing of damaged parts with new spare parts.
à Maintenance personnel should analyze the cause of every particular fault, and
figure out the potential source of hazard before proceeding further.

à Check the availability of system documents, including the technology, installation,

operation, and maintenance manuals for reference at maintenance time.

Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance is to periodically perform preventative maintenance and detection
on equipment, so as to make the equipment in a stable operation for a long time.
Routine maintenance includes the following tasks:
l Regular maintenance and detection. The maintenance personnel is required to
regularly check and test the running status, functions, major performance indices
and hardware of the ZXSDR BS8800 equipment using necessary instruments and
tools according to the OMM operation specification and ZXSDR BS8800 equipment
technical specifications.
l Regular check and cleaning. The maintenance personnel is required to regularly
check the ZXSDR BS8800 equipment and its auxiliary devices, and replace faulty
or unsatisfactory parts in time. The maintenance personnel should regularly maintain
and clean the parts that are damageable or require a high level anti-dust protection,
as well as the key parts of the peripherals.
A proper work cycle plan for ZXSDR BS8800 routine maintenance is recommended.

Note:
The running status of ZXSDR BS8800 can be observed at the OMM, for it is an
unmanned monitoring device. The OMM maintenance personnel is responsible for
routine maintenance of ZXSDR BS8800.

l The protective switchover between the active and standby systems must be performed
during light traffic, for example, after midnight.
l Make sure that the switchover does not cause conversation interruption or affect
services.
l The operation must be performed by the personnel who is familiar with the equipment
only when the active and standby systems run normally because of its risk. It is
recommended to contact the ZTE technical support engineer before performing the
operation or do it under the guidance of the engineer.
