Troubleshooting case 1

�Phenomenon Description: Even though GTMU software loading completed successfully the Version still

not updated.

�Suggestions and Summary: This is occurred due to Execute the function Software Activation without

waiting few minutes (approx 2 min) after Loading Software Successfully.

So have to wait few minutes once loading Software Successfully.




� Phenomenon Description: Even DRFU Software activation in progress but not completed 100% and

immediately takes other DRFU and continue activation progress.

� Suggestions and Summary: Check the communication between the BBU and the DRFU.

1. Check the status of the CPRI0 LED on the GTMU panel of the BBU and the status of the CPRI0 and CPRI1

LEDs on the DRFU panel. All the LEDs are in the on in green status. (The status of the LED corresponding

to the CPRI port that is not in use should be Off.)

2. Check that the signal cables between cascaded DRFUs are securely connected to the CPRI0 and CPRI1

ports.

3. Check that one end of the CPRI signal cable is securely connected to the CPRI0 port on the DRFU and the

other end is securely connected to the CPRI port on the BBU.

4. Check the SFP male connectors at both ends of the CPRI signal cable. If the connector is faulty, replace it.
