Equipment Room Maintenance

Checking Environment Alarms





Checking Temperature and Humidity:



Check these safe-keeping devices are in good condition

Checking Equipment Cabinet Door



The long term working condition should meet:

temperature: 0~40 ; humidity: 20%~90%

Checking Burglarproof Net, Room Door and Windows



Check if the -48V DC Power supply if normal

Check the fan running status
Check if theres any other alarms

Check to ensure the front and rear doors are closed

Checking Room Cleanness



Check the equipment room are clean

BSC Running Status Checking (1)

Checking Board Indicators



Checking BSC and NMS Link Connections:





Via NetNumen M31 client service, query the current alarm records and
handle them (if any)

Querying the Past 24-hour Alarm and Notification History



Check if NetNumen M31 Client is running normally

Check if NMS client and server link is good
Check if every NE could be accessed

Querying BSC Current Alarms



Check if every board is running normally, no alarms

Using conditional querying, view and analyze the past 24-hour alarm and
notification history records.
For those important alarms and notifications, rational reasons and
solutions should be given out.

Querying BSC KPI



Check BSCs KPI and filter out those exceeding the reference value.

BSC Running Status Checking (2)

Checking Interface Status





Checking Active-standby Status:



Check those important double-configured boards to see if the

active-standby status is normal

Querying NMS Operation Log



Check A-interface Status

Check Gb-interface Status
Ensure all the interface connections are in good condition, and
theres no abnormal blocking

Via NetNumen M31 client service, query the NMS operation log to
