Operation Status of Modules

Access: [Maintenance/Module State] Functions: display the communication state

between the maintenance console and each BM of the BSC

Results:

in normal conditions, module numbers will be displayed. If the communication is faulty, a * will be placed before the module.

Operation Status of Boards

Access: [control/Equipment] Functions: view and query board state and information, reset board Results :

in normal conditions, boards on the interface are in grey, green (active) and blue (standby).
if the board is faulty, color shown on the panel will change to red.

Caution: if you find a board is in red, first you should confirm it has been configured or not, then for GALM in AM you should check whether connected alarmbox has been powered on.

CPU Occupation Status

Access: [trace/occupation ratio] Functions: by viewing CPU occupation ratio, the BSC load

condition (Normal, Overload and Congestion) can be known.

Results:

In normal conditions, the occupation status of CPU and memories should be displayed in the system performance tracing window. When the bar chart is blue, the status is normal.
If the bar chart is yellow, the status is overloaded and red, congested.

Switchover
Access: [control\immediate switchover] Functions: when the active board is faulty or the data of

active/standby boards are inconsistent, if the boards have not switched over automatically, it is required to switch over the active and standby boards immediately, making the normal board use the correct data and ensure the correctness of the BSC operational data. After the active and standby boards are switched over immediately, the original standby board will become the active board while the original active board become the standby board
