LTE RBS6000 & OSS Field Maintenance LZU 102 2688 R1A Description This course is a task-based course covering hardware replacement and maintenance of the RBS 6000 Family*. The participants will perform hardware fault localization, hardware replacement and configuration tasks on a RBS 6000 type. On completion of this course the participants will also be familiar with the features of the operation and maintenance tools Element Manager and CLI (Command Line Interface). The participants will also perform an Emergency Recovery. This course also provides students with an understanding of the Operation Support System (OSS) tools available for monitoring and locating faults on the enodeb network elements. Students will learn to access and navigate the OSS LTE tools and command line interface in the LTE network using practical (hands-on) sessions. *RBS6000 Family consisting of RBS: 6101, 6102, 6201, 6202, 6301, 6401, 6501, and 6601 Learning objectives On completion of this course the participants will be able to: 1 Explain on overview level the LTE RAN Site Concept for RBS 1.1 Explain the basic LTE Radio Access Network 1.2 Identify and describe the equipment associated with the RBS 6000 1.3 Identify the power connections on the RBS (MU) and (RRU) 1.4 Explain the Power and Battery Cabinets (PBC) on Site for the RBS 6000 1.5 Identify LTE Interface for Transmission on Site 1.6 Identify and describe additional site equipment 2 Use the Customer Product Information (CPI) 2.1 Explain the CPI Library structure of the node 2.2 Find information in the Library with use of regular expression 2.3 Find operational instructions (OPI) and maintain the node according to the OPI 2.4 Find additional information on an alarm and solve the problem with the help of the CPI and Element Manager 3 Use Element manager to operate and maintain the RBS 6000 3.1 Download and start the Element Manager 3.2 Access and use the different Views ; Containment, Equipment, IP, Licensing, Radio Network and the Software 3.3 Find the alarm list and comment on the Alarms and Events on the Alarm and Event Log 3.4 Access the property help feature from each window
