    The document discusses various tools and methods to monitor alarms and faults in radio access networks including NetAct, RNC EM, MML and WBTS EM. It also lists some common alarms for base stations, cells and RNC units as well as how to check the state of interfaces like ATM and CCS7.

    Some common alarms discussed are BASE STATION FAULTY (7650), CELL FAULTY (7653), RNC alarms like INCOMING SDH SIGNAL MISSING (3900) which indicate faults or degraded performance in the base stations, cells or RNC units respectively.

    NetAct can be used for RAN alarm monitoring and changing states of network elements. RNC EM allows checking active alarms and supplementary information. MML allows checking ATM and CCS7 interfaces. RNW object browser in RNC EM and WBTS EM allows checking cell status, connection configuration and Iub interface signalling.

    State of CCS7 signalling links
    The state of the signalling link. It should
    be in AV-EX. Any other state would indicate
    a problem in the link.

    The signalling link number. There All the signalling links between two network
    should be more than one signalling elements are grouped together in a set. The set
    link for redundancy. is often named according to the destination.
