R2R
Error R2R HW failure because the CU cannot read the
MAC-ID or any other HW error in the R2R logic. Sug-
gested remedy: Replace the repeater.
FON

FO
Error R2R HW failure because the CU cannot read the
MAC-ID or any other HW error in the R2Rlogic. Sug-
gested remedy: Replace the FON PCBA.
60 Low traf-
fic activity
RSSI
Statis-
tics
Warning No signal strength on the channel was above the limit
set longer than the time set in the configuration, indi-
cating possible problems with service antenna. The
area that the repeater is servicing may be covered by
another stronger repeater or BTS. Suggested rem-
edy: Ensure that the antennas and the cellular phone
work in the area to be covered, and that repeater sup-
ported channels are used.
Ceasing The cause of the alarm has ceased.
61 No BCCH
detected
RSSI
Statis-
tics
Warning Signal strength on the BCCH channel was below the
limit set longer than the time set in the configuration,
indicating possible malfunction in the BTS or donor
antennas.
Suggested remedy: Ensure that the repeater is con-
figured to the BCCH channel and that the signal from
the BTS has enough strength.
Ceasing The cause of the alarm has ceased.
65 Gain
reduction
Chan-
nel #,
UL/DL
Warning The gain is reduced below the limit.
The gain is reduced because the output power has
been above the MPC limit more than the preset limit
allows.
Ceasing The cause of the alarm has ceased.

Warning Input power too high, output power above maximum
limit.
Ceasing The cause of the alarm has ceased.
