5.1.2 Terminal Maintenance

As shown in Figure 5-1, terminal maintenance is implemented through a PC. The PC is
connected to the BTS3012AE through an Ethernet cable.
You can operate and maintain sites, cells, and TRXs through the terminal maintenance.
5.1.3 Remote Maintenance

As shown in Figure 5-1, remote maintenance is implemented through a PC. The PC forms a
network with the OMC, BSC, and BTS.
The remote maintenance uses Graphic User Interface (GUI) and topological view. You can see
the name, type, location, number, and running status of each NE through the GUI interface.
You can view the detailed performance data, alarm data, and configuration data of an NE.
You can also operate or maintain an NE through the topological view.

Maintenance Management
5.2.1 Security Management

The BTS3012AE authorizes maintenance engineers with hierarchical operation rights to
ensure the security. At the same time, it prompts the possible outcome of dangerous
operations.
5.2.2 Alarm Management

The alarm management function of the BTS3012AE can detect and report equipment faults
and abnormal functioning in real time.
With this function, the BTS3012AE can collect, clear, query, handle, save, explain, prompt,
filter, and analyze alarms.
In addition, the online help and layered alarm filtering function help you to quickly locate
faults and provide fault recovery methods.

System Description
6 Reliability
6.1 System Reliability

The BTS3012AE is designed after overall analysis on system reliability. The BTS3012AE
uses the following methods to enhance the system reliability:
z
Active/standby mode
Load sharing
Redundant configuration
Optimized fault detection of boards and system
Optimized fault isolation
Redundancy Design
The BTS3012AE uses a redundancy design. The key clock bus, control bus, data bus, and the
DTMU modules use 1+1 backup mode. The transceiver mutual aid is also supported.
System Monitoring
The BTS3012AE can automatically detect and diagnose faults in the hardware or software
and report them through alarms. It can also detect environmental status and report
abnormalities in time.
6.2 Hardware Reliability

The BTS3012AE adopts the following methods to enhance hardware reliability:
z
Prevention Against Mistakenly Inserted Boards
Redundancy Design of the FAN Box
Protection Against Excessive Rise in Temperature of the DTRU
Reliability Design for Power Supply
Prevention Against Mistakenly Inserted Boards

When a functional board is inserted into a wrong slot, it cannot get into full contact with the
backplane. This prevents the equipment from being damaged.
Redundancy Design of the FAN Box

The fan uses N+1 redundancy backup mode. If a fan is faulty, the other fans run at full speed.
Under normal temperature, this design can meet the heat dissipation requirement.
Protection Against Excessive Rise in Temperature of the DTRU

When the temperature around the last level power amplifier is too high, the power amplifier
reports the excessive rise in temperature through an alarm, and then enters into the automatic
protection state.

Reliability Design for Power Supply

The power supply system of the BTS3012AE has the following features in terms of reliability
design:
z
The power supply system has the power environment monitoring system, which
performs the following functions:
Monitoring the power distribution of the AC/DC
Managing the charging and discharging of the storage batteries
Monitoring the cabinet environment
Monitoring the storage battery cabinet environment
Monitoring the extension cabinet environment
Monitoring the input and output of extended alarms
When the external power supply fails, the internal storage batteries of the BTS3012AE
can supply power for several hours. An alarm about the failure of the external power
supply is sent to the OMC to prompt for proper handling.
The BTS3012AE uses a distributed power supply. The DC/DC power modules operate in
N+1 redundancy mode. When a module fails, an alarm is sent to the OMC. You can
easily replace the faulty module because the DC/DC is hot swappable.
The power supply has a lightning protection function and a protection function against
voltage variation.
The BTS3012AE provides power failure protection for programs and data.
The boards of the BTS3012AE provide protection against excessive voltage and current.
The boards of the BTS3012AE provide protection against reverse-polarity connection.
6.3 Software Reliability

Software reliability is reflected in the powerful capability of error tolerance. The entire system
will not get corrupted when the software fails. That is, the system has self-healing capability.
Error tolerance of the BTS3012AE is shown in the following aspects.
Regular Check on Key Resources

Seizure check is conducted on various software resources in the system. The check
mechanism can ensure the release of suspended resources and the output of the related logs
and alarms.
Task Monitoring
When the software is active, the task monitoring function can monitor any possible fault in
the software or hardware. In addition, detected faults can be reported. Task status and system
abnormalities can also be monitored.
Data Check
The system can perform regular or event-driven checks on data consistency, restore the data
consistency selectively or preferably, and output related logs and alarms.

Saving Operation Log Information

The system records user operations within a certain period and saves the recorded information
to the system operation logs. Operation logs can be used to locate errors or exceptions
because of incorrect operations so that the system can be restored to the normal state.
