Abstract
A system and method for performing a health check for a cell site, the method including: accessing a Cell Site Router (CSR) including vital interfaces at a cell site; gathering a respective value for each of the vital interfaces at the CSR; and generating a health report of the cell site based on gathered values. The vital interfaces include one or more network ports and one or more radio unit interfaces, and the CSR is disposed at a base station.

A computer-implemented method for performing a health check for a cell site, the method comprising:
- accessing a Cell Site Router (CSR) comprising vital interfaces at a cell site;
- gathering a respective value for each of the vital interfaces at the CSR;
- indicating an error when the respective value is not within a respective operational range of the respective one of the vital interfaces;
- and
- generating a health report of the cell site based on gathered values,
- wherein the vital interfaces comprise one or more network ports and one or more radio unit interfaces, and the CSR is disposed at a base station,
- wherein the gathering comprises setting the respective value to a portion of a textual output of a first CSR command and setting the respective operational range to a portion of a textual output of a second CSR command,
- wherein the respective operational range is set dynamically, and
- wherein the respective operational range comprises ranges for one or more of a Laser Bias (mA), a Transmission (Tx) Power in dBm, a Reception (Rx) Power in dBm, a Tx Power in mW, a Rx Power in mW, a Transceiver (TRX) Temperature, or a TRX Voltage.
A system to perform a health check for a cell site, the system comprising:
- a Cell Site Router (CSR) comprising a processor and vital interfaces at a cell site;
- and
- a script to gather a respective value for each of the vital interfaces at the CSR, to indicate an error when the respective value is not within a respective operational range of the respective one of the vital interfaces, and to generate a health report of the cell site based on gathered values,
- wherein the vital interfaces comprise one or more network ports and one or more radio unit interfaces, and the CSR is disposed at a base station,
- wherein to gather comprises to set the respective value to a portion of a textual output of a first CSR command and to set the respective operational range to a portion of a textual output of a second CSR command,
- wherein the respective operational range is set dynamically, and
- wherein the respective operational range comprises ranges for one or more of a Laser Bias (mA), a Transmission (Tx) Power in dBm, a Reception (Rx) Power in dBm, a Tx Power in mW, a Rx Power in mW, a Transceiver (TRX) Temperature, or a TRX Voltage.
