Troubleshooting the AXC
1 Troubleshooting the AXC
Purpose
Alarms give information on problems in the network element. For more information onreading AXC alarms, see Reading AXC faults in Operating and maintaining AXC . You
can also find a detailed description of the alarms in AXC alarms or under Refer-
ence/Alarms.
During site visits the AXC unit LEDs can be inspected to detect failures. For more infor-
mation, see AXC unit LEDs in AXC product description.
Furthermore, monitoring the performance of AXC can help you to detect problems in the
transmission and physical layer of the network connection. For more information on the
performance monitoring function of AXC, see Monitoring the performance of physical
interfaces, Monitoring ATM performance, Monitoring IMA performance and Inspecting
IP statistics in Operating and maintaining AXC .
For general information on troubleshooting the WCDMA RAN and other 3G network ele-
ments, refer to WCDMA RAN system information set.
Steps
Evaluate how serious the consequences of the problem are.
If the problem has very serious consequences, you may have to call for expert help or
apply an emergency plan immediately.
2 Identify the problem and describe it clearly.
Make an accurate description of the symptoms. You may not be able to solve the
problem yourself. A detailed description of the situation where the symptoms occurred
can help an expert solve the problem.
3 Study the symptoms of the problem.
Analyse and categorise symptoms and list possible causes for the symptoms. Some-
times there can be several related or isolated problems active at the same time. Study
whether the symptoms relate to each other or not. Prioritise symptoms and collect
further facts if needed.
4 Narrow down the possible causes of the problem.
Based on the tests and your knowledge of the system, eliminate symptoms that are not
relevant to the problem you are trying to solve. This way you can focus on symptoms
that are more likely to produce a solution to the problem. Examine what works and what
does not.
5 Carry out corrective actions.
If you have ended up with more than one probable and possible cause for the problem,
change only one thing at a time - otherwise you cannot be sure what change corrected
the failure or the problem.

3.2 Adding and replacing IFUs
Purpose
The procedures in this section describe how to add and replace units in an operating AXC. There are several options:
• install an IFU to an empty slot
• replace an IFU with an IFU of the same type
• replace an IFU with an IFU of a different type
• remove an IFU and leave the slot empty
When performing these tasks you will have to reconfigure the AXC with AXC Manager
or AXC-FB Hopper Manager. Reconfiguration is not necessary when an IFU is replaced
with an IFU that is of the same type and that contains the same software version.
The removal of an IFU does not interrupt traffic in other IFUs.
Before you start
Go through the precautions, restrictions and instructions for handling units in Require-
ments for installing AXC in Installing AXC .
Switch off the lasers with AXC Manager and disconnect the optical connectors before
removing an IFUC or IFUF. After removing the unit, put the protective caps back on theoptical interfaces.
Switch off the power on the IFUE interfaces before removing the Flexbus cables con-
nected to the outdoor units.
Mixed software releases are not allowed within the same AXC. When replacing a unit
check that the software version of the old and new unit are the same.
If a new unit contains a different software version, unit LED remains yellow until youchange its software. For more information, see Changing AXC software in Expanding
and upgrading AXC .
A faulty IFUH/AXCF unit must be returned to NSN Hardware Services without the SFP
module.
Steps

4.1 Using loopbacks
Before you start
Setting a Flexbus loop cuts the connection to the outdoor unit until the loop is cancelled
or it expires. This includes all data and management information. Setting an outdoor unit
loop cuts the connection to the outdoor unit until the loop expires.
Before connecting new loops, remove old loops and wait at least one minute. This gives
the system time to be stabilised after the test loops, so that it can start a new test from
a clean point.
Steps
Select Maintenance → Tests → Loopbacks from AXC-FB Hopper Manager menu.
The Loopbacks window opens.
The loopback status can change without you changing it, for example, if the timeout has
been reached. Because of this, the Loopbacks window has its own status bar, which
shows the last time the status of the loopbacks was checked and how long until the next
refresh.
2 Select the loopback position by clicking one of the tabs.
3 Select the loopback to be activated by clicking the loopback button labelled with
a number or arrow corresponding to the loopback.
4 Change timeout control value if necessary.
In the Timeout control field, set the time for the timeout.
5 Activate the loopback by sending the changes to the node.
You can send the changes to the node in two ways:
• on the AXC-FB Hopper Manager menu, select Menu → Send, or
• click the Send button in the Loopbacks window.
Further information
When the control timeout has been reached, the network element is reset to normal
functioning. To reset the network element to its normal state manually, select
Maintenance → Tests → To Normal State from the AXC-FB Hopper Manager menu.
Note that when a control has been set, no other settings take effect until the equipment
is returned to normal state.
