Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist Problem Description Many of the Clock Synchronization Manager (CSM) board failures may be resolved in the field before sending the boards to the factory for repair. This section describes known CSM problems identified in field returns, some of which are field-repairable. Check these problems before returning suspect CSM boards. Intermittent 19.
Troubleshooting: CSM Checklist – continued Takes Too Long for CSM to Come INS This problem may be caused by a delay in GPS acquisition. Check the accuracy flag status and/or current position. Refer to the GSM system time/GPS and LFR/HSO verification section in Chapter 3. At least one satellite should be visible and tracked for the “surveyed” mode and four satellites should be visible and tracked for the “estimated” mode. Also, verify correct base site position data used in “surveyed” mode.
C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting Introduction The C–CCP backplane is a multi–layer board that interconnects all the C–CCP modules. The complexity of this board lends itself to possible improper diagnoses when problems occur. Connector Functionality The following connector overview describes the major types of backplane connectors along with the functionality of each. This information allows the CFE to: Determine which connector(s) is associated with a specific problem type.
C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting – continued Power Supply Module Interface Each power supply module has a series of three different connectors to provide the needed inputs/outputs to the C–CCP backplane. These include a VCC/Ground input connector, a Harting style multiple pin interface, and a +15 V/Analog Ground output connector. The C–CCP Power Modules convert +27 or –48 Volts to a regulated +15, +6.5, and +5.0 Volts to be used by the C–CCP shelf cards.
C–CCP Backplane Troubleshooting – continued IMPORTANT * Table 6-15 through Table 6-24 must be completed before replacing ANY C–CCP backplane. Digital Control Problems No GLI2 Control via LMF (all GLI2s) Follow the procedure in Table 6-15 to troubleshoot a GLI2 control via LMF failure.

Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors Module Status Indicators Each of the non-passive plug-in modules has a bi-color (green & red) LED status indicator located on the module front panel. The indicator is labeled PWR/ALM. If both colors are turned on, the indicator is yellow. Each plug-in module, except for the fan module, has its own alarm (fault) detection circuitry that controls the state of the PWR/ALM LED. The fan TACH signal of each fan module is monitored by the AMR.
Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors – continued CSM LED Status Combinations PWR/ALM LED The CSMs include on-board alarm detection. Hardware and software/firmware alarms are indicated via the front panel indicators. After the memory tests, the CSM loads OOS–RAM code from the Flash EPROM, if available. If not available, the OOS–ROM code is loaded from the Flash EPROM. Solid GREEN – module is INS_ACT or INS_STBY no alarm.
Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors – continued FREQ Monitor Connector A test port provided at the CSM front panel via a BNC receptacle allows monitoring of the 19.6608 MHz clock generated by the CSM. When both CSM 1 and CSM 2 are in an in-service (INS) condition, the CSM 2 clock signal frequency is the same as that output by CSM 1. The clock is a sine wave signal with a minimum amplitude of +2 dBm (800 mVpp) into a 50 Ω load connected to this port.
Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors – continued GLI2 LED Status Combinations The GLI2 module has indicators, controls and connectors as described below and shown in Figure 6-2. The operating states of the 5 LEDs are: ACTIVE Solid GREEN – GLI2 is active. This means that the GLI2 has shelf control and is providing control of the digital interfaces. Off – GLI2 is not active (i.e., Standby). The mate GLI2 should be active. MASTER Solid GREEN – GLI2 is Master (sometimes referred to as MGLI2).
Module Front Panel LED Indicators and Connectors – continued GLI2 Pushbuttons and Connectors RESET Pushbutton – Depressing the RESET pushbutton causes a partial reset of the CPU and a reset of all board devices. The GLI2 is placed in the OOS_ROM state MMI Connector – The RS–232MMI port connector is intended to be used primarily in the development or factory environment but may be used in the field for debug/maintenance purposes.

PN Offset Programming Information PN Offset Background All channel elements transmitted from a BTS in a particular 1.25 MHz CDMA channel are orthonogonally spread by 1 of 64 possible Walsh code functions; additionally, they are also spread by a quadrature pair of PN sequences unique to each sector. Overall, the mobile uses this to differentiate multiple signals transmitted from the same BTS (and surrounding BTS) sectors, and to synchronize to the next strongest sector.

Introduction Purpose This procedure is a guide to expanding your system with multiple carriers while the system remains in service. This procedure also allows you to perform on site maintenance (replace defective boards and recalibrate) while the remainder of the site stays in service. Motorola recommends that you perform this procedure during a maintenance window. This procedure cannot be performed on BTSs with 4–to–1 combiners. The procedure can only be performed on one side of the BTS at one time.
Power Delta Calibration Power Delta Calibration Introduction The In–service calibration procedure has several differences from a normal calibration procedure. One of these is the use of a spectrum analyzer instead of a power meter to measure power. Power meters are broadband measurement devices and cannot be used to measure power during In–service Calibration since other carriers are operating. A spectrum analyzer can be used because it measures power at a given frequency.

In–Service Calibration In–Service Calibration IMPORTANT * This feature does NOT have fault tolerance at this time. The system has no safe–guards to stop you from doing something that will take the BTS out of service. If possible, perform this procedure during a maintenance window. Follow the procedures in this section precisely, otherwise the entire BTS will most likely go OUT OF SERVICE. At the CBSC, only perform operations on expansion hardware when it is in the OOS_MANUAL state.
