Section 4 Troubleshooting
RFC Link Up Status
The RF Link Up Status will indicate NO on the TRACER System Status page when communication between the BBP and RFC has failed.
| Recommended Action |
Possible Cause | (see list below) |
• Failure of the IF cable | 1 |
• Fuse blown in BBP | 2 |
• Loose cable connections in the RFC | 3 |
• Failure of the BBP | 4 |
• Failure of the RFC | 5 |
Recommended Actions: |
|
1.Check the IF cable for shorts or loose connections.
2.Check for blown fuse in the BBP. This fuse is accessed by removing the top of the Baseband Processor, and is located on the left side of the chassis when facing the front panel. If this fuse is open, verify that the coax connections are correctly installed and check the BBP to RFC coaxial cable for a short.
3.Check all connections in the RFC.
4.Replace the BBP.
5.Replace the RFC.
ES Values in E1A or E1B Performance History Menu
This value indicates the number of Errored Seconds in the E1 data stream.
Possible Cause
•When CRC is enabled, an errored second is listed when more than 1 CRC error occurs within that second.
•When CRC is disabled, an errored second is listed when more than 1 CV error occurs within that second.
Recommended Actions:
1.Check the E1 signal with a BERT test set to determine origin of error.
