ID Name Class Severity Unit
70 Downlink TX power low 0x0011 Warning RU
Description
The downlink transmitted power is low. This can happen for a number of
reasons: 1) The base station at the BMU may be down and the signal is lost, 2)
The BIU card may have been disconnected. 3) Loss of RF over the fiber while
communication is still working or 4) The gain setting in the DL is insufficient for
the signal level required.
NOC Actions
Check RF input source. Check other units in the same sector if they have
power. Check fiber optical power. Check the gain setting in the DL corresponds
to what was recorded at commissioning time.
If the unit is connected to a system that has an intermittent RF downlink, such
as some analog systems or paging systems, then this may be a false alarm
triggered when the base station is not transmitting. If that is the case then turn
off this alarm from the RF configuration page on the remote.
Field Actions
Check the RF signal levels in the downlink path. Confirm the connection from
the BMU to the BIU is correct. Confirm the FOI is patched to the correct sector.
Confirm the DL gain settings are correct. If the DL gain is increased is the
problem solved? If so, re-commission the unit.
If the unit is connected to a system that has an intermittent downlink, such as
some analog systems or paging systems, then this may be a false alarm
triggered when the base station is not transmitted. If that is the case then turn
off this alarm from the RF configuration page on the remote.
