No. Please check 10GbE connectivity and make sure 10GbE is a linkup to
the DU server.
5.3 Why does RU’s log seem not aligned?
Usually, it indicates that PTP signal quality is not good. Please check the
GM’s quality with GPS satellites.
5.4 Can I add a Switch between O-RU and GM?
Yes. But, please make sure Switch supports IEEE 1588 PTPv2.
https://manuals.plus/foxconn/rpqn-o-ru-local-5g-nr-system-manual 24/34
05/04/2023, 15:54 foxconn RPQN O-RU Local 5G NR System User Guide - Manuals+

5.5 Can I add a Switch to connect O-RU and O-DU?

Yes. Please make sure the following items:

The L2 switch should support VLAN with tag.

Those ports (connected to BBU and RU) should be in trunk mode
Both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 should be in those trunk ports

Should keep VLAN tag in those ports (DO NOT set untag)

the procedure to get
PTP log from SSH terminal
5.9 Which FlexRAN version complies?
FlexRAN version 20.11 (the time offset must be changed to 484 for
PRACH) and 21.03.
5.10 Which prach format does RU support?
RU only supports short prach format B4.
5.11 How to calculate Tx power?

0dBm per port
RRH_TX_ATTENUATION = 20.0, 20.0, 20.0, 20.0 -> output power is
10dBm per port
Antenna gain is 5dBi

5.12 How to disable/enable DPD?

Note: the setting is affected for all 4 ports.

 Troubleshooting

6.1 Why DU can not receive any data from RU?

Please check the following items:

1. Check that PTP is synced and GM’s quality. You may need to check
GM’s status with satellites,
O-RU’s log and O-DU’s log.
2. Check the 10GbE interface in the DU server is linked up.
3. Check the 10GbE interface in the DU server is running at 10Gb speed
4. Check connectivity, and make sure the SFP+ module is actually inserted
into the cage of the

https://manuals.plus/foxconn/rpqn-o-ru-local-5g-nr-system-manual 28/34
05/04/2023, 15:54 foxconn RPQN O-RU Local 5G NR System User Guide - Manuals+

connector in the DU server.

5. Check O-RU’s log for the xRAN packet:
a. If the log does not contain “an: log… ……………. ”, it means O-RU
does not receive any
C-Plane packet from O-DU.
b. Sometimes, it was caused by a PTP sync issue.

6. Please run an Intel sample app to make sure O-RU is working properly.

6.2 Recover O-RU

When O-RU is going to a weird state like the phenomenon below, please
POWER CYCLE O-RU.

1. 10T state value is jumping 1&2
