B. How to interpret the alarms
1. A critical Alarm and Heartbeat failure, means that the node under ManagedElement is down.Note: 1. This alarm can occur due to O&M Link which is down, and therefore there is disconnection
between OSS and the Node. It is better to open OSS Common Explorer and node Element manager and
check alarm from the node itself to confirm that it is down. If you have this alarm on RNC under
ManagedElement, and you cannot open RNC Element Manager, then this is an emergency issue because
the whole network is down, but it doesnt occur often.
2. The letter C on left of the alarm means that the alarm is cleared.3. A UtranCell_ServiceUnavailable Alarm and RNC under ManagedElement, means that the cell
related to that alarm is down.
For other alarms interpretation and more knowledge on RNC, please use OSS documentation to get
more details as follows:
