1. LED blinking signification a. USB dongle LED indicator. The USB dongle LED should be ON for the duration of the commissioning, also the LED will blink intermittent during the commissioning. Normal behavior: when connecting the USB dongle, the BBU will start the commissioning procedure and will trigger intermittent LED blinking on both USB and BBU cards. Not normal behavior: If the USB dongle LED stays OFF for more than 1 minute after inserted in the USB port, this might indicate there is a problem with the Config/Software. Please check the Software/config by performing the “Preparing a USB Flash Drive for Local Commissioning eNodeB 4G” guide.

b. UMPTa2 Board LED’s Normal (before commissioning & after commissioning) LED behavior: RUN LED will blink every 1 second ACT LED will blink every 0.15 seconds During upgrade LED behavior: RUN & ACT LED will blink intermittent depending on the commissioning progress. After about 20 minutes, the commissioning will be completed and will return to “normal” behavior.
c. When the commissioning is completed the eNodeB will restart. This will turn off all Green LED’s and will turn ON the Orange CPRI LED’s (picture below). This means that in 5 minutes the eNodeB should be operational.

2. If after about 20 minutes from connecting the USB drive to the BBU, the eNodeB doesn’t have remote management, some extra troubleshooting between the field engineer and the war room might be required. Please make sure that you follow the below steps and command with someone from War Room, checking the results. Connect your laptop to the eNodeB and check if the config and software has been loaded. You will need the following: USB to RJ45 adaptor (see picture below) RJ45 Network cable Connect the “USB to RJ45” adaptor to the USB port on the UMPTa2 board, and connect the “RJ45 network cable” to the USB adaptor and your laptop. Start by configuration the following IP on you network adaptor: IP: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Connect to the eNodeB by opening in Internet Explorer address 192.168.0.49 Login user: admin Password: hwbs@com

Use the “ LST ENODEB” command to check eNodeB’s name: If the eNodeB name & ID is not the NULL & 0 this means the config has not been loaded.

Use the “LST SOFTWARE” command to check eNodeB’s software version. You are looking for “Main Area V100R005C00SPC375” if this is not as below, the software load failed.
If the software or config load fails please perform again the “Preparing a USB Flash Drive for Local Commissioning eNodeB 4G” guide.

3. Ping “Next hop”
This is important to check if the transmission has been provisioned. Start by listing the Vlans “LST VLANMAP”
Ping “next hop IP” on Vlan 500. ( source IP is “next hop IP+1”). If next hop will reply go to step 4. Else consult with warroom.

4. Check the port status
There might be possible that there is a physical conection problem, or that the tellabs is not activated, so we can check the port status. For the NSN radiolinks the port are closed by default, and we will need to ask for activation.
5. Check if Trust certificates have been downloaded from the CA
Use “DSP TRUSTCERT” command to check the trust certificates. If the 3 certificates (see below) are present go to step 5. 1) Caroot.pem (internal Huawei) 2) Vodafone Wireless Issuing Auyhority.cer 3) Vodafone Root CA.cer Else consult with war room.

6. Check if Device Certificates have been downloaded from the CA Use “DSP CERTMK” command to check the device certificates. You should find 2 of them, 1) Appcert.pen (internal Huawei) 2) OPKIDevCert.cer, issued by Vodafone Wireless Issuing Authority. If Vodafone certificate is present (see below) go to step 6. Else consult with war room
7. Check the Device certificate is being used. Use “DSP APPCERT” commands to check that the device certificate is being used 2013-06-21

for the IKE application. If the certificate is being correctly used, go to step 7.
8. Check if the IPSEC tunnel is UP Use “DSP IKESA” to check if Phase1 or Phase 2 is attempted. Consult with war room. DSP IKESA:SN=7,IKEVSN=IKE_V2,DSPMODE=BRIEF; If all the Phases 2 are “Ready¦ Stay alive”, then the tunnel should is up. If phase 1 or 2 is “none” or “not ready”, then there is a problem establishing the tunnel. In that case go to step 8.

9. Run the command “DSP DIAGNOSE” as IKE type, and communicate the results to the war room, to help to find out the root cause of the tunnel problem.
10. Engineers from the War room might also need ping alternative ping test and trace routes to other IPs addresses. They will indicate which ones. 2013-06-21

11. If we need to reaload a new configuration file, we have to make sure that the eNodeB is returned to its basic configuration, for that we need to use the command. ACT CFGFILE. We will use Minimum configuration and effect type: inmediatly
