How to define built-in ports for external alarm with 2 DUL

boards in RBS6601
1. Hardware connection and alarm design
1.1 HW connection
There are 2 DUL boards are put into the RBS6601.One is master to control support
system,the other is slave,not control support system.
For master DUL board,the ecport is connected to SUPs EC A port,and for slave DUL
board,ecport is connected to EC B port.

2. The meaning of attributes used in MO AlarmPort

activeExternalAlarm : There are 2 kind states. True or False. When there is an

external alarm,the value is True,otherwise,false.

administrativeState : There are 2 kind states. Unlock(1) or Lock(0).When this

alarm port is used,its state is Unlock,otherwise,Lock.

availabilityStatus & operationalState : There are 11 availability

statuses,and with different value for each status. operationalState with 2
states,ENABLE(1) & DISABLE(0).Only when the external alarm is in normal
state,the attribute availabilityStatus=0(NO_STATUS),and then
operationalState=1.For availabilityStatuss other statuses,it means the external
alarm has some problem, and then operationalState=0.

normallyOpen : 2 states,True & False.When opening the circuit triggers the

alarm,the value is False,and it is True,when choose closing the circuit triggering
the alarm.

probableCause : For different cause,it has different corresponding level code

according to 3GPP TS 32.111-3.

perceivedSeverity : For different alarm,it has different corresponding level

code according to 3GPP TS 32.111-2.

3. Configuration

3.1 On master DUL board

//Create SUP MO
cr Equipment=1,HwUnit=SUP-1
cr Equipment=1,HwUnit=SUP-1,EcPort=1
//This MO indates the ecport on master DUL board is connected to EC A port.
cr Subrack=1,Slot=1,PlugInUnit=1,EcPort=1
set Subrack=1,Slot=1,PlugInUnit=1,EcPort=1 hubPosition A
// This MO indates the ecport on slave DUL board is connected to EC B port.
cr Equipment=1,ExternalNode=1
cr Equipment=1,ExternalNode=1,EcPort=1
set Equipment=1,ExternalNode=1,EcPort=1,hubPosition B
//Set the master DUL control the support system.
set Equipment=1,HwUnit=SUP-1 supportSystemControl true
//Create the alarm port MO.And then can set these attribute,for
example,userLabel/alarmsLogan, according to the external alarm plan.
cr HwUnit=SUP-1,AlarmPort=1
:
:
cr HwUnit=SUP-1,AlarmPort=16

3.2 On slave DUL board

//This MO indates the ecport on slave DUL board is connected to EC B port.

cr Subrack=1,Slot=1,PlugInUnit=1,EcPort=1
set Subrack=1,Slot=1,PlugInUnit=1,EcPort=1 hubPosition B
//Set the slave DUL board doesnt control the support system.
set Equipment=1,HwUnit=SUP-1 supportSystemControl false

4.Others
If there is only one DUL board in RBS6601,the definition of built-in ports for external
alarm also can refer to this guide,only pay attention to master DUL board connection and
configuration.
