Introducing
Alarms
Overview
Alarms are events indicating problems or conditions that are worth highlighting.
An alarm can be raised by hardware or by software processes.
Hardware alarms are environmental alarms or alarms that are generated in a board.
These alarms are collected by all the sub-boards and are reported to the main board.
Software alarms are detected by other software blocks in each board and reported
to the fault management module running in the master board.
Alarms are graded into severities and require operator intervention. An alarm is
raised if, for example, a process in the equipment has failed or if the temperature
level around a hardware component has reached a defined threshold level.
Alarms are vital to the troubleshooting and diagnosis of hardware and software
problems.
All Alarms are reported in the LSM graphical user interface and are retained in an
alarm/fault history location for the following rolling periods:
Type of Alarm/Fault
Retention Period
Raw data
7 days
Hourly
60 days
Daily
60 days
Monthly
6 months
There are two types of output message:
Alarm occurred
Alarm cleared
In the LSM event viewer, the following colors are used to indicate the alarms and
their severity.
Critical: Red
Major: Orange
Minor: Yellow
Warning: Sky Blue
Alarm Cleared: Green

Chapter 1 Introducing Alarms
Every alarm is uniquely identified by an alarm code and falls into a particular
category with an assigned severity.
Alarms are events indicating problems or conditions that are worth highlighting.
An alarm can be raised by hardware or by software processes. An alarm is raised if,
for example, a process in the equipment has failed. Another alarm might be raised
if the temperature level around a hardware component has reached a defined
threshold level.
Alarm Codes
An alarm is uniquely identified by an alarm code. The alarm code is an alphanumeric string that starts with the letter A, contains a unique 7-digit number and
ends with the letter R. The letter A stands for Alarm, and the letter R identifies that
the alarm is for the RAN (eNB).
A xxyyzzz R
Abbreviation of RAN (eNB)
Alarm number
Abbreviation of Alarm
A: Abbreviation of Alarm
xxyyzzz (7-digit number): Allocated to each alarm uniquely.
xx: NE type. The NE type value for the Samsung MBS is 21.
yy: Unit type. For unit type values, see Table 1.
zzz: Alarm type. For alarm type values, see Table 2.
R: Abbreviation of RAN (eNB)

Alarm Categories
The category of the alarm denotes the component type that raised the alarm or the
type of service affected by the alarm. Every alarm falls into one of the following
categories and this is clearly stated under each alarm description in this manual.
Table 2. Alarm Categories
Category
Meaning
COMMUNICATIONS (COM)
A communication failure between equipment
QOS
An adverse effect on device performance or quality of

service
PROCESSING (PROC)
A software or processing failure
EQUIPMENT (EQUIP)
A device or equipment failure
ENVIRONMENT (ENV)
An environmental condition (such as excessive

temperature or humidity) causing an adverse effect on
equipment
Alarm Severities
The severity indicates the impact on the system and gives you an idea of how
quickly the alarm should be dealt with. Every alarm that can be raised is assigned
one of the following severities (from lowest to highest) and this is clearly stated
under each alarm description in this manual.


Table 3. Alarm Severities
Severity
Meaning
MINOR
Indicates errors that do not have an immediate impact on the system

but may do so if left unresolved.
MAJOR
Indicates errors pertaining to abnormalities in hardware or software

operation such as circuit or subscriber service errors, immediate action
is required although system operation is not seriously hindered.
CRITICAL
Indicates errors that seriously hinder normal system operation or greatly

affect the system services. Immediate action is required.
Some alarms can take on different severity levels over a period of time. The
occurrence of such an alarm clears any previously raised lower-severity
occurrences of the alarm. To illustrate this, consider the alarm that is raised when
disk usage reaches predefined thresholds defined by the operator such as Minor
when 85% full, Major when 90% full, and Critical when 95% full. A minor alarm
will be raised when the disk is 85% full. At 90%, the severity will change to major
and, at 95%, it will change to critical.
Auto Alarm Suppression

Some failures may raise several related alarms of different severities. A high
severity alarm demanding immediate attention will automatically cause related
lower severity alarms from being reported until it is cleared. This allows you to
focus your troubleshooting efforts on more immediate issues before being told
about the less important ones.
For example, when a Communication Fail alarm is generated on a channel card or
radio unit (RRH), other alarms that occur on these boards will not be reported.
This is because the Communication Fail alarm is a higher severity alarm. The
collection of the suppressed lower-severity alarms resumes after the
Communication Fail alarm is cleared.
Inhibiting Alarms
If, for any reason, you are not interested in being notified about particular alarms,
you can inhibit them so that they are not displayed in LSM. Inhibited alarms are
not saved to the alarm history location.

Monitoring Alarms
You can monitor the alarm by the following methods:
Alarm monitoring using the LSM Event Viewer.
Alarm monitoring by executing commands on the CLI window of the LSM.
Alarm Monitoring by LED.
Dealing with an Alarm

To ensure that your network is running properly at all times, you must deal with
alarms promptly.
To deal with an alarm:
Read the alarm information in the LSM and/or look up the alarm in this
manual to identify its cause and remedy. If the alarm is related to another
alarm of higher severity, then identify the cause of this higher severity alarm.
Use the information to try to resolve the underlying problem and thus clear the
alarm.
If you are still unable to clear an alarm, report the problem to your local Samsung
Electronics support desk (hereafter referred to as Samsung).
