Prior to 6.06 *without* having NTP configured/available, the eNB shows the correct Date and Time stamp even if the GPS Comms is showing as down, meaning that the GPS is functioning, but something else is not like S1. That can be a good hint as to if you need to look at the GPS phy layer (call in the climber$) or not.

I don't know if that is still the case because I haven't deployed a new eNB straight to 6.06 yet although I suspect it is.

I believe the order is that you have to have a valid S1 connection, **then** the eNodeB will try to turn on the GPS. If the GPS works, **then** the eNodeB will start turning on the antenna ports.

If you take an eNodeB out of the box, plug in a GPS, log in to the management IP, and look at the timing port, the unit will never ever ever say that it has timing, or even gps-comm-status. It needs to be configured enough, and cabled enough, to have a valid S1 signaling connection to the EPC.

I’ve told telrad that some UI changes, like a simple command to tell us where it is in the process between ‘cold boot’ and ‘fully functional’ would be nice, as well as maybe some more descriptive statuses. ‘timing gps-comm-status NoS1Server’ would be far more useful.

Or, you know, just decouple initiating the GPS device from having a valid s1 server.

Similarly, imagine this:

>show ran port

PORT OPERATIONAL  ADMIN

NUM STATUS       STATE

------------------------------

1 OutOfService-NoTiming    InService

etc

Or:

>show ran port

PORT OPERATIONAL  ADMIN

NUM STATUS       STATE

------------------------------

1 OutOfService-NoS1    InService

Or maybe even:

>show ran port

PORT OPERATIONAL  ADMIN  ERROR

NUM STATUS       STATE             STATE

-----------------------------------------------

1 OutOfService    InService     NoTiming or NoS1

Or maybe couple it into show status device:

>show status device

general {

product-type     COMPACT;

product-subtype  ENB;

compact-model-type BreezeCompact3000;

}

inventory {

hw-ver           "1 (CORE: E500MC v3.2)";

serial-number    95018308;

main-sw-ver      0606.04013;

backup-sw-ver    0600.02616;

running-sw       MainSW;

boot-ver         2013.01.00014;

up-time          2016-07-21T11:07:27-05:00;

}

Service-prerequisites{

S1-signalling    VALID;

Timing               VALID;

Ran-ports         VALID;

}

Or something like that.

It will also look like that if your S1 is down.

Did you follow the wiring diagram that came with the GPS to make the cable? If so, they are fried. They require a standard Cat5 cable, not the one on the diagram that seems to still be included with some antennas. That wiring diagram was for a different radio platform, not the Compact and we have had many operators follow it and kill their GPS. Telrad has been RMA ing any that happened to. We went through our tock and removed those directions but I suspect there are some floating around still.

    We are putting up 2 new sectors and both of them have no GPS comms.

    Any idea of what to look for? I have a hard time believing that
    both GPS antennas are bad.

    BreezeCompact> show timing

    timing gps-comm-status Down

    timing external-1pps-status NotExist

    timing coordinates longitude ""
