NOTE:
When the APM monitoring signal is transmitted to the RRU through the alarm cable, the APMU and DTCU should be configured in the slot shown in the red rectangular in Figure 1. When the APM monitoring signal is transmitted to the BBU through the alarm cable, the APMU and DTCU should be configured in subrack 2 in Figure 1.

When the Boolean values provided by the existing UPEU and UEIU cannot meet the requirements of the telecom equipment room, you need to add the DEMU.

EMUA

GATM

16, 17

  • When the BTS of a new GSM site is configured with the RET antenna or TMA, you need to add the GATM.
  • When the GSM BTS of a new GSM/UMTS site is configured with the RET antenna or TMA, you do not need to add the GATM. The RET antenna and TMA are monitored on the UMTS side.

GATM

NOTE:

On a GSM/UMTS site, the RET antenna and TMA can be monitored on the UMTS side. When a GSM site is upgraded to a GSM/UMTS site, the RET antenna and TMA of the previous GSM site are still monitored by the GATM. That is, on the LMT, you do not need to delete the configuration of the GATM.

Procedure

  1. Add the APMU.
    1. In subrack 2 in the "Site Device Attributes" dialog box, right-click the corresponding slot as described in Table 1. A shortcut menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 2.

      Mode 2: In this mode, there are two alarm severities: warning alarm and critical alarm. The current for alarming is constant and higher than the normal operating current.

      Mode 3: In this mode, there are two alarm severalties: warning alarm and critical alarm. The current for reporting a warning alarm is a periodic pulse. The current for reporting a critical alarm is a constant current.

      Feed Tributary 0 TMA Configuration

      Set this parameter to Disabled or Enabled.

      Feed Tributary 0 Upper Threshold for TMA Current Critical Alarm

      The value range of this parameter is [0, 2000]. The default value is 170.

      Feed Tributary 0 Upper Threshold for TMA Current Warning

      The value range of this parameter is [0, 2000]. The default value is 170.

      Feed Tributary 0 Lower Threshold for TMA Current Alarm

      The value range of this parameter is [0, 2000]. The default value is 30.
