How to Read RBS

3G LOG (DUW)
To get data & configurations we need
Hint

To read log clearly resize it to font

size 5 and then zoom in its view
Scope

2- CELL (Status, Cell ID & Bandwidth)
3- Radio Building Block RBB
4- Output power for each sector
5- Baseband pool distribution
6- Radio Mixed Mode
7- Node group if defined
8- Carrier license capacity
9- Finger print

 1- RET ( Status, Electrical Tilt, Serial NO.)

Search in log by (st ret) to get status for all site RETs (Enable or Disable).
Search in log by (st plug) to get status for all site RETs (Unlocked or Locked)
Search in log by (get . Antennatilt) or (tilt) to get electrical tilt for all RETs
Search in log by (invhlr) to get Serial NO. for all RETS
From before we get below data about RETs

 2- CELL (Status, Cell ID & Bandwidth)

Search in log by (st cell) to get cell status

Search in log by (CellId) to get Cell IDs
Search in log by (get . Bandwidth) or (bandwidth) to get bandwidth for each carrier

In this case
• Bandwidth for Uplink & Downlink 3G carriers = 50

 3- Radio Building Block RBB

At the end of log you will find diagram for 3G site connection
From this diagram we get this 3G site has 2 DUW 30 cascaded

The Master DUW 30 (1/1) has

• 3 RRUS 12 B1 connected to first DUW at port A ,B ,C
• Each RRU configured with 2 Carriers

The Slave DUW 30 ( 1/2 ) has

• 3 RRUS 02 B8 connected to port A , B ,C
• Each RRU configured with 2 carriers

 4- Output power for each sector

Search in log by ( Maxtot ) to get out power for each sector

In this case output power for all sectors = 80 Watt

 5- Baseband pool distribution

Search in log by (get . Baseband) to get baseband pool distribution

Baseband pool 1 has 6 carriers
• Carry First and second carriers for 3 sectors 3G 2100

Baseband pool 2 has 6 carriers

• Carry First and second carriers for 3 sectors U900

 6- Radio Mixed Mode

Search in log by ( mixedmode ) to get radio mixed mode status for each sector

In this case RRUs for 3G 2100 mixed with LTE and RRUs for U900 Single
In this case
• 3G 2100 RRUs mixed with LTE ( RRUs Band 2100 operate with two technologies 3G & LTE
• U900 RRUs mixed with 2G ( RRUs Band 900 operate with two technologies 3G & 2G

Radio Mixed Mode TRUE RRU has two technologies mixed

Radio Mixed Mode FALSE RRU has one technology single

 7- Node group if defined

Search in log by ( get nodeg ) to get node group Priority for DUW

In this case node group for DUW with priority = 1

 8- Carrier license capacity

Search in log by (get . Licensecap ) to get max no. of carriers can supported
with DUW license

In this case
• Current carriers in this DUW 12 Carriers
• Max no. of carriers can be supported 18 Carriers
 9- Finger print

Search in log by (get . Finger ) to get finger print for DUW to request license with it
 10- Check for VSWR

Search in log by ( cabx ) to get VSWR value for each sector

If VSWR Value
• Greater than 15 no VSWR alarm
• Less than 15 VSWR alarm on this sector

In this case no VSWR exist for all sectors as values greater than 15
 11- Check for CVs & upgrade package

Search in log by ( cvls ) to get

• All CVs created on DUW
• Startable CV
• Current upgrade package
 12- Get IPs

Search in log by (get ipaccesshost ) to get IP Access Host

We get IP Access Host = 10.64.56.211

So, IP Host Link will be = 10.65.56.211 we increase the second No. by one
Search in log by (get ipinterface) to get :
• Gateway for IP Access Host ( Tellabs IUB IP ) Traffic 10.64.56.209
• IUB VLAN ID 1027
• Gateway for IP Host Link ( Tellabs MUB IP ) management 10.65.56.209
• MUB VLAN ID 2027
 Then O&M access configuration on DUW will be

IP Host Link Configuration (Page 3) IP Sync Configuration (Page 4)

IP Host Link IP Access Host ET

• IP address : 10.65.56.211 • IP address : 10.64.56.211

Router Configuration ( page 5) • Server Address : 172.22.13.24
• Server Active : OK
• Next Hop IP Address :10.65.56.209
• Route Metric :10 NTP Secondary Server
• Server Address : 172.22.13.25
• Server Active : OK
 13- MIMO feature

Search in log by ( mimo ) to get status of MIMO feature

In this case MIMO feature Deactivated for all carriers

 14- No. of TX branches
Search in log by ( txb ) to get no. of TX braches for each cell

No. of TX branches 2 for all 3G sectors & 1 for all U900 sectors
 15- check for Alarms

Search in log by ( alt ) you will get alarm list ( internal & external )
 16- Configurations of external alarms if defined

Search in log by (get . Alarm ) to get defined external alarms

Search in log by (st alarm ) to get status of external alarms ( Lock or Unlocked )
We get from search below configurations for external alarms

Alarm port Slogan status

1 SSC-02 AC Mains Failure Unlocked

2 SSC-02 DC Alarm Unlocked

3 PBC-05/TN AC Mains Unlocked

Failure

4 PBC-05/TN DC Alarm Unlocked

5 Not defined Locked

6 Not defined Locked
7 Not defined Locked
8 Not defined Locked
 17- Get HW data SN. & Product no.

Search in log by (invhlr ) you will get site inventory ( all HW data )
We get SN. And product no. for below HW
• RBS which this DUW defined on
• DUWs
• RETs
• RRUs and its type
And we can get RRUs & DUWs HW data also by search by ( CABX )

We can get also which DUW active and Standby Ready
