TRADE SECRET INFORMATION
D.8 System Self-Recovery Test
The following test is to determine the ability of the MC-Series system to recover
from various iSC-3 conditions.
1 Loss of T1
While the MC-Series system is operating, disconnect the T1 connection to the iSC-
3 for one minute, and then reconnect it. Monitor the system recovery, and then
validate the system by placing a successful call on each sector.
2 iSC-3 Power Loss
While the MC-Series system is operating, the iSC-3 shall be power cycled and
system recovery will be monitored and validated by placing a successful call on
each sector.
3 Loss of GPS
While the MC-Series system is operating, the GPS connection to the iSC-3 will be
disconnected until all Satellites are lost and then reconnected. System recovery will
be monitored and validated by placing a successful call on each sector.
4 New datafill download
System recovery will be verified by pushing a new datafill download to the iSC-3.
D.9 Packet Data Stability and Throughput
The Packet Data stability and throughput to the Internet will be verified. A tethered Packet
Data connection will be set up on a laptop and speed tested by using the
www.bandwidthplace.com
website. This continuous download of data stream will validate
system stability and help to quantify user experience of Packet Data over the MC-Series
system.
D.10 Validation of 'Unable to Key BR' Alarm
While the MC-Series system is operating, disconnect any system component, from the
BIC to the RBS, and monitor the OMC to verify that MC-Series system generates the
“
Unable to Key BR” alarm.
The MC-Series system provides fault alarming and isolation within System Manager for
individual components, which consists of detecting catastrophic faults that prevent an
MC-Series system component from responding to a periodic “ping”. All fault alarms
generated by the MC-Series system are received at the OMC via the iSC. The “Unable to
Key BR” alarm will appear at the OMC as minor, major or critical as follows (for more
information about alarms, refer to section 7.5.3 “System Manager Alarms”):
Table 42 “Unable to Key BR” Alarm Severity Indications
“Unable to Key BR” Alarm Severity Indication
minor An iDEN RadioBlade transceiver has failed.
major An RF Shelf has failed.
critical A card in a chassis unit has failed (except for the BIC CRIC,
which is responsible for returning the alarm information.)
