4. Interpret the fault message and go to the fault clearance procedure of the suspected
module or interface, localize the fault and clear it according to the corresponding
procedure in chapter "3 Fault Clearance Procedures for Modules and Interfaces".
5. As described in the corresponding procedure, verify whether the fault clearance was
successful:
Was the outcome of the hardware test pass?
Are there any relevant pending alarms?
Do the LEDs signal normal operation?
6. If the fault should still exist and the replaced module was not the fault cause, check
whether there is another probable cause.
7. If there is another probable cause, reinsert the recently replaced original module and
go to the corresponding fault clearance procedure for the next suspected module or
interface.
8. It should be possible to clear most faults that may occur in the TRAU by following
the fault clearance procedures described in this manual. However, if the fault should
still exist after considering all probable causes, contact the Technical Assistance
Center (TAC). Here you will obtain help from specially trained troubleshooting
experts.
9. End of fault clearance. Pack and tag all faulty modules for transport to a repair depot.
Write a fault report in which the following information is given in detail:

ESD Symbol
All modules are to be handled with extreme care as each contains a number of electrostatically sensitive components.
All integrated modules may contain electrostatically sensitive devices (ESDs). All
modules are marked with the ESD symbol.
The following precautions are to be taken:
Personnel should avoid wearing synthetic clothing and shoes with plastic soles, as
these foster the build-up of electrostatic charges.
Before handling modules, personnel should be freed of electrostatic charge. For this
reason personnel should always put on a grounded wrist strap before changing a
module.
Before touching modules, printed circuits or components, the wrist strap must be
connected to the ground potential of the rack by means of a flexible lead integrating a
high-value discharge resistor. The discharging socket in the holder of the special tool for
changing modules must be used for connecting the wrist strap to the ground potential.
This holder is located on the right vertical strut of the module side of the rack. Note that
the conducting parts of the split pin should not be touched when plugging it in (bypassing the discharge resistor).
IMPORTANT:
Modules with the ESD symbol are to be handled with extreme care. Static or external
voltage can lead to long-term damage in the modules.
In general, the printed circuits and components of the modules should not be touched.
Modules should be held only by their edges.
Removed modules are to be placed in covers made of conductive plastic (provided) and
then stored or sent off in special transport boxes or cases bearing the ESD symbol.
To prevent further damage, faulty modules are to be treated with as much care as new
ones.
All tools, measuring devices and metal objects that come in contact with removed
modules are to be discharged to the ground potential before being used.
To summarize:
a) ESDs should not be allowed to touch electrostatically charged or chargable objects.

Maintenance
Transcoding and Rate Adaption Unit
MMN:TRAU
b) ESDs should only come in contact with high-value discharging material ("gentle"
discharging), i.e. should not undergo "harsh" discharging with, for example, a metal
plate.
c) ESDs should be set down on grounded surfaces only (flexible bases with a
grounding connection for servicing purposes).
d) ESDs should only be transported in authorised packaging. A grounded wrist strap
must be put on before removing ESDs.
e) ESDs should not be brought near strong DC electrical fields, e.g. cathode-ray
tubes/monitors (safety distance at least 10 cm (3.9)).
f)
Maintenance personnel should check the discharge resistance of the wrist straps at
regular intervals.
g) Even discharges that are considerably lower than the detection limit can damage or
destroy ESDs!

The LMT shows the list of all the modules (possibly faulty modules) which issued an
Equipment Failure Event; for each of them keep track of the related possible cause
of fault.
5. Check the Possible Faulty Modules
For all the possible faulty modules (from previous step), do the following from LMT:

The LMT shows the state of each specified module. Keep track of the operational
state and the availability status for each module.
6. Find the Suspected module
Keeping in mind the output described above, take into account the modules for
which:
the OPERATIONAL STATE is DISABLED
the PROBABLE CAUSE description includes the word Hardware in the Alarm Event
List
the AVAILABILITY STATUS is FAILED.
These modules are called suspected modules.
7. Replace the Suspected Modules
The TRAU rack is protected by a front cover. This must be removed in order to
access the modules. To do this, remove the screws on the cover.
To remove a module, pull the levers on the module itself - pull up the top levers and
pull down the bottom ones - then extract the module. To restore a removed module
to its site, insert the module then push the levers - push down the top levers and
push up the bottom ones.
If the alarm originates from line interface card, as MSCI or BSCI and is LOSS OF
SIGNAL or LOSS OF SIGNAL ON LINK A/B, in detail signal absent (LOS), LFA
alarm present, eer alarm present (BER), RAI alarm present, check the jumpers
on the faulty card are conforming the line impedence requirement (see "4.8 Jumpers
Setting"); as well as the cable connector concerning the line number in failure state
is correctly inserted and not damaged (see IMN:TRAU manual).
After a check of cables and connectors, proceede with the replace of the suspected
modules following the procedures described in the "3 Fault Clearance Procedures
for Modules and Interfaces" chapter.

Diagnostic Procedure
This procedure describes the TRAU diagnostic procedure (refer to Appendix for more
details).
If both procedures are required at the same time, the first diagnostic is executed
followed by the second. Perform Test commands will be queued and executed sequentially.
If the BSMS is not redundant, the Perftest Trau command on the TRAC object is
accepted but the BSCI LoopTest will not be executed even if it has been included.
In the Test Report, the Proposed Repair Action field displays the BSCI cards and the
MSCI cards to be replaced.
The object under test be in Locked state (except TPWR module).
The
Command:
PERFTEST TRAUE

BSCI
Module initialization is performed by Diagnostic execution.
If both BSCI copies must be replaced, repeat this procedure for each module one at a
time: install the second module only after the first has been successfully installed.
DO NOT EXECUTE!
The following operational sequence causes the TRAU crash:
1. BSMS0 providing service, BSMS1 hot standy-by (or vice versa);
2. Format BSCI stand-by;
3. Extract the BSCI active;
4. Start the software download with the remained copy by means of the LMTTRAU;
5. Once the first download is terminated and the second one is taking place (PH1 Software installation) insert the BSCI previously extracted.
If both the BSCI copies are out of service, they have to be replaced with new modules
and a Bring-Up procedure has to be executed (follow the instructions contained in
ITMN:TRAU manual).

There is a particular condition for this module. Before replacing the module, it is necessary to verify if the MSCI is missing or not correctly inserted in the rack (Module Check
Procedure). If the alarm condition persists, try to replace the module with the procedure
described in this section.
Module initialization is performed by Diagnostic execution.
If both MSCI copies must be replaced, repeat this procedure for each module: install the
second module only after the first has been successfully installed.
If both the MSCI copies are out of service, they have to be replaced with new modules

The TRAU rack houses up to four TRAU subracks, each processing 120 channels. The
TRAU configuration is modular on the basis of the number of transcoders that may be
installed.
Fig. 4.1 shows the TRAU rack fully equipped and the single module location inside the
subracks.

Temperature Sensor
Two temperature sensors are mounted on the top of the rack (RCAP): each one of them
controls a copy of the Power Suppliers.
When the temperature increases, the temperature sensor contact closes and the relevant supplier goes out of service (OFF).
If during normal operations, the equipment internal temperature reaches the 72C
threshold, the Copy 0 temperature sensor contacts close and the suppliers of the relevant copy go out of service (OFF).
Copy 0
TS 72C close
Suppliers OFF
Copy 0 will restore (opening of the temperature sensor (TS) contacts and suppliers
returning in service (ON)) when the temperature reaches the 63C threshold.
If the temperature reaches 78C, the Copy 1 temperature sensor contacts close and the
suppliers of the relevant copy go out of service (OFF).

At this point there is no power supply in the equipment and Copy 0 and Copy 1 will

"IS" green LED is on whenever the power supply is on and the provided voltage is
correct;
"OS AL" red LED will switch on in the event of an "out of service" or anomaly in the
power supply;
"ON" green LED is on whenever the power supply is on.
The OFF REQ key controls the on/off status of the regulated output voltages, and must
be in the upper position to allow the system to work. It must be set in the lower position
to obtain any "out of service" request.
Explanation of the buttons displayed in Fig. 4.10 (pos 2):
The red button controls the magnetic switch, and must be pressed to interrupt the
primary power supply; to avoid undesirable manual interruptions, the user must use
a pointed device to switch the red button.
The black button must be pressed to switch on the primary power.

Alarm Handling
An alarm notifies the Radio Commander (RC) of fault conditions. Alarms can occur at
any point in the TRAU subsystem provided with a hardware (HW) or software (SW)
detector to recognize the fault, and with an event-generating software.
Following the general alarm philosophy, alarm reports specify:
In general, the principle applies when an error is still detectable. Whenever this condition
disappears (presumably following the intervention of a user), the TRAU detects it and
communicates an end-of-alarm event to the BSC and to the LMT; however, up to then
the malfunction is present and detectable. In the TRAU, two types of malfunction deviate
from this principle:
The TRAU spontaneously informs the BSC and the LMT of any change of status and
configuration concerning its devices.
The TRAU subsystem provides three different severity levels:
Critical
Major
Minor
Five types of anomalies are defined depending on the functional part of the subsystem
that is actually damaged:

Equipment alarms refer to hardware failures. Alarms of this kind are detected and analized by the maintenance procedures in order to clear them by means of the provided
redundancy. In this case, the alarm display reports the generating function together with
the related severity.
With each of these types of anomalies software tails (System Tails) are associated that
contain a short outline description of various error messages relating to the error
concerned.
Processing alarms are associated with software errors.
Environmental alarm are associated with a condition relating to an enclosure in which
the equipment resides.

Alarm Reporting
Every system of the PLMN network reports any malfunctions occurring during its operation to a local operator and to a remote control center (OMT). These malfunctions
include a large variety of types, from hardware faults to recurrent software errors and
from air condition faults to back-up battery faults.

LOCKED: the object is not allowed to perform its functions without the intervention of the user
UNLOCKED: the object can freely perform all its functions.
SHUTTING_DOWN: the object is gradually changing its administrative state
from UNLOCKED to LOCKED.
The OPERATIONAL STATE is used to indicate whether an object is able to work or
not. It specifies the object's operational mode.
ENABLED: the object is in service. It may be used or not, depending on
system needs.
DISABLED: the object is out of service. It cannot be used to perform its operations.
The TRAU system is logically structured as a tree (see Fig. 5.3). The nodes indicate the
objects (logical and physical) in which the system itself is sub-divided. The structure indicates the functional and operational dependence of several objects (sub-ordinate
objects) from others.
The autodiagnostic procedures of the TRAU system are able to identify the defective
module and the possible malfunctioning objects within the module. The same procedures can place the objects in the operative DISABLE state. As a consequence of this
action, the sub-ordinate objects are also placed in the operative DISABLE state. The
user must pay attention to this, and by means of the procedure shown in the following
section, look at the MEG tree (see Fig. 5.3 and Fig. 5.4) in order to identify the source
of the error.
From Release BR5.5 forwards, there are two possible MEGs depending on the value of
the TypeOfTraue attribute:
1. When the TypeOfTraue attribute is WITH_TPWR, the TRAU is powered by two
TPWR devices: each one powers one copy of BSCI/MSCI (BSMS), while the TRACs
are powered by the two power supplies in parallel. Each TPWR (0/1) is modelled as
a managed object which has the BSMS objects (0/1) as subordinate. This case is
shown in Fig. 5.3.
2. When TypeOfTraue is WITHOUT_TPWR, the TPWR is not used and it is deleted
from the TRAU database. The 3 devices (BSCI, MSCI and TRACs) extract the
needed voltage from the 48 V. This case is shown in Fig. 5.4.
Note that: if the TRAU cards (BSCI V4, MSCI V2, TRAC V5) are configured with jumpers
setting in order to work with their on board power supplies (in this way the board derives
the power directly from the 48V source), but the TypeOfTraue has the value
WITH_TPWR, then from the TRAU O&M point of view, the TPWR object is present and
is always ENABLE even if the TPWR cards are extracted from the rack or they are
powered off! This situation means that at the RC side the TPWR icons (for that TRAU)
will be present and displayed in GREEN. This situation is due to the fact that the boards
jumper settings and the value of TypeOfTraue are not consistent; moreover, in this case
(boards SELF-POWERED) the TRAU hardware simulates the presence of the TPWR
cards so from the software point of view, the TPWR cards are present and always
working properly. The TPWR hardware simulation is necessary for backwards software
compatibility. The consistency between the jumpers setting and the value of
TypeOfTraue is a duty of the Operator; the TRAU maintains the service without outage
even in event of inconsistency. The following table will be helpful to keep the Consistency:

Minor: this level indicates that the object has reported such an error as not
to degrade its functionality (for example, its backup has been switched into
service) or, better, indicates that a functional part of the BSC is degraded,
but is still in a position to perform its functions without affecting the service
too much.
Major: this level indicates that the object has reported such an error as to
render it severly degraded or, better, indicates that a functional part of the
BSC system is severly degraded.

abort phase:
The other phases that every hardware diagnostics will provide to actually prove the
device are named "working phases". They are containers for a group of test routines
forcing the single function, the single alarm or a particular internal hardware interface.
The soft termination, contrary to the abort one, has an operator origin, and can have two
managements: if the diagnosis is still waiting for activation, an immediate cancellation
of the test request is sufficient, while if the diagnosis is already active, the current
working phase is completed and the end phase is then executed.
The TRAU system includes a number of diagnostics which cover the following hardware
units:
From the maintenance point of view, the main advantage of the diagnosis features is the
capability to provide the list of suspected faulty modules. Up to four modules can be
listed, sorted starting from the most probable module. Another aspect concerns the
capability of the diagnosis to provide information regarding the specific components on
a module which is responsible for the fault. Although this information is not immediately
readable, it is contained in the additional info field reported by the test output.

Hardware Diagnostics
Introduction
Diagnostics are provided to check the functionality of hardware units and to locate hardware faults.
They achieve this by:
a) applying inputs to a hardware device;
b) comparing resulting outputs with expected outputs;
c) using the failing phase as the basis for fault resolution.
Every diagnostics is structured in the same way: it is divided into PHASES and each
phase into TESTS.
A TEST is a software routine that verifies the functionality of a specific hardware circuit.
A PHASE is a stand alone set of test routines, executed in a sequential manner, that
verify the same hardware device.
Every diagnostics must has:
As general rule:
each diagnostics is destructive (the object has to be locked before starting a test)
with the exception of the PWRS;
the diagnostics of a specific board is incompatible with the diagnostics of the same
type of board; starting with Release BR5.0, BSMS diagnostics and TRAC diagnostics are incompatible.
Each type of hardware unit has its specific diagnostics. The results of a diagnostics of a
certain phase are different for every kind of diagnostics: normally for each test there is
a bit which indicates if the test passed or failed. The meaning of the bits depend on the
hardware device under test.
If the diagnostics runs successfully, the output provides a list of the successfully
executed phases.
If the diagnostics fails the output provides a list of the executed phases and, for each
failed phase 8 words which detail the kind of failure.
The failure of a phase can have different degrees of severity. In particular, it may happen
that the failure prevents any further diagnostic testing on the device (for instance if the
object or some part of it is not accessible, or if the processor on board does not answer).
In this case, all the remaining phases (except for the end phase) is skipped. In other
failure cases, the diagnosis continues in spite of the bad test result. In both cases, the
test outcome will be fail. The termination of the diagnosis when a phase fails is
decided at run time by the hardware diagnostic.

TPWR Diagnostics
With the following hardware configuration:
- Backplane A30861-X223-X10
- BSCI V4
- MSCI V2
- TRAC V5
and with the TRAU High Capacity
each card derives its power supply directly from the 48 Volt. Therefore the TPWR card
is not equipped and the card test does not apply. With this configuration the sense point
and the control point on the BSCI related to the TPWR are maintaned but they not
control hardware circuits.
The TRAU power supply provides two regulated power voltages (+5,3V and +12,3V)
accepting at the input a battery voltage variable in the range -34/-73 Volt.
The power supply also contains the supervisory, monitoring and control functions
necessary to interface with the system and with maintenance personnel.
These functions include:

The control of the on/off state of the regulated output voltages in response to the
control panel switches, the monitor of the system out of service input and detection
of an out of limits on the regulated output voltages.
An automatic shutdown if an out of limits condition occurs on the regulated output
voltages.
The presence of a system sense point signal for reporting the status of the regulated
output voltages; the presence of a system sense point signal for requesting turn off.
The response to a system control point signal which indicates subsystem in or out
of service and the response to a system control point signal which controls voltage
monitor testing.
A main interface on the control panel consisting of in out of service indicator, on/off
request, failure indicators and an emergency off circuit breaker.
The presence of a power on reset output for subsytem initialization following a power
on sequence.
The TPWR diagnostics has been implemented only with the start phase (see paragraph
5.4.2).

BSMS Diagnostics
The diagnostic of the BSMS object involves the diagnostics of the BSCI and MSCI
modules.
The BSCI is the main processor of the TRAU and its task is to control it. Then, apart from
controlling itself, the BSCI controls the peripheral devices - TRACs, MSCIs and Power
Supplies.
The BSCI card interfacesthe BSC station with the TRAU station. The BSC card has
control functions for all TRAC cards and for the MSCI card directly subordinate. It comunicates with the other BSCI card to coordinate O&M actions.
It provides the following functions:
A30808-X3247-L420-2-7620
117
MMN:TRAU
Maintenance
Transcoding and Rate Adaption Unit
The MSCI card interfaces the MSC station with the TRAU. The MSCI has control functions for mapping the PCM line connections towards MSC with the 64 Kb/s traffic channels to/from the TRACs and the 64 Kb/s transparent channels to/from the BSCI.
It also handles the lower levels of the LAPD protocol of the communication between
BSC and TRAU, while the higher levels of this protocol are handled by the BSCI.
The MSCI card provides the following functions:
Implements a maintenance circuit, realized into the TILT gate-array, whose function
is to generate a test pattern to be injected into the coders of the TRAC cards,
belonging to the TCHs that are idle at the moment of the test; these idle TCHs are
closed in loop by the TILT equipped in the BSCI card, so that the output of the coder
constitutes the input of the decoder in the TRACs. The TILT of the BSCI generates
a check pattern and compares it with the bit stream coming from the decoders.
Implements a 64 KBit/s Space Switch Matrix realized into the DIGA gate-array,
whose function is to route 64 Kb/s channels from one TRAU to another one through
the double ring interconnection in which a group of TRAUs belonging to the same
BSC are linked. For this purpose, two 2 Mb/s PCM lines in a double ring configuration are used. The 64 Kb/s channels of these PCM lines are used to save the control
links between the BSC and to distribute to the others the messages that belong to
them, by means of the ring interconnection drop-insert.
The BSMS diagnostic has been implemented with three working phase (see paragraph
5.4.2).
a) BSMS start phase
This phase initializes the BSMS under test.

TRAC Diagnostics
During the BSCI Loop Test, the standby status of the BSMS used in the TRAC loop is
temporarily changed from HOT STANDBY to COLD STANDBY.
The TRAC card performs the most important function of the TRAU, speech transcoding
and data rate adaption for 24 pairs of 16 Kb/s TCHs and 64 Kb/s PCM channels.
An Intel 80C188XL microprocessor running at 15.15 MHz implements the TRAC card
controller.
The controller is provided with 128 Kbytes of erasable and programmable read only
memory for firmware implementation and 128 Kbytes of static random access memory
downloadable code and data, as well as with serial communication links at 64 Kb/s
between the controler and both BSCI active and stand-by. The controller receives at the
start-up, through the serial link from the active copy of the BSCI card, the code to be
stored in its memory and in the memories of the DSPs. During the operation, the
controller executes all the configuration and O&M commands coming from the BSCI and
report to it all the fault and alarms detected inside the card.
The card implements a bank of 8 AT&T DSP1610 (24 AT&T DSP1617 for TRAC V3)
digital signal processors running at 29.25 MHz; each DSP handles 3 transcoders and
rate adapters and is provided with 128 Kbytes of code downloadable in a fast static
random access memory.
The line interface both with the 64 Kb/s channels coming from the MSC and the 16 Kb/s
TCHs coming from the BSC is implemented through four 60.000 gate-arrays each of
which interfaces 2 DSPs with the lines coming from the BSCIs and MSCIs, and also
provides a mail-box for the DSP and controller communications in both directions.
The controller sends towards the BSCI all the detected alarms through serial link and
also through dedicated signals.
The card provides an RS-232 interface to permit the on-line debugging function through
a serial controller and an EPROM containing factory information: code, hardware issue,
etc. This information is readable by the controller.
The TRAC diagnostics has been implemented with two working phases (see paragraph
5.4.2).
a) TRAC start phase
