1.4 Code of Conduct and Precautions

When working in the O&M center, RF engineers should comply with the followingregulations and precautions:

1. Be on and off duty on time. Follow the regulations to enter and exit the O&M center.

2. Do not drink or eat in the O&M center. In general, we are not allowed to bring cups orglasses into the O&M center.

3. All the user names, passwords, and IP addresses for different OM clients should be

assigned and managed by the manger of the O&M center.

4. Do not operate if not required, such as resetting boards and modifying system

parameters.

5. The manager of the O&M center is responsible for ensuring availability of the operation

platform. For example, ensure that the free disk space of the M2000 server is sufficient.Send the traced data files to the RF engineers in time. Delete the traced data files on the

client in time. Otherwise, too much disk space is occupied.

6. Due to the high safety requirements for the operation platform, do not copy files by using

any storage medium on the operation platform. To upload script files to the operation

platform and download operation result files to wer own laptop, connect wer laptop tothe server with the Ethernet cable of the internal maintenance network segment.

Do not connect any USB storage medium directly to any server of the O&M center.

If any USB storage medium is directly connected to the M2000, AAA, or other system

servers, the PC may be infected by viruses.
