3.8 WCDMA units
Each WCDMA unit within the Nokia UltraSite EDGE BTS has one LED to
indicate its operational status, with the exception of the WAF and WSC unitswhich have two LEDs.
The LEDs are tricolour (yellow, red, green) and display seven different status
indications. Tables 10 to 13 show the meaning of these indications.
The following units are equipped with LED indicators:
. Transceivers, WTRs
. System clock units, WSCs
.
Antenna filters, WAFs
. Power amplifiers, WMPs
. Input combiner, WIC
. Summing and multiplexing unit, WSM
. Application manager, WAM
. Signal processor units, WSP
. ATM cross-connect unit, AXU
. Interface unit, IFU
Note
When WCDMA units are powered on, the LEDs should always be lit. If an LED
is not lit, either the unit or the LED is faulty or there is no power to the unit
Note
If one of the WSC units in a cabinet is on standby, its upper LED will not be lit.
This is an exception to the general LED interpretation and does not indicate that
the unit is faulty.
