What to do if Ceragon Antenna Rx Level is Out of Range?
- D
  Deanna JohnsonAug 17, 2025
  If the Rx level of your Ceragon Antenna is out of range, it typically means the RSL is very low, often below -80 dBm, indicating the link is down. First, ensure the issue isn't due to rain, multipath fading, or a lack of line of sight. Next, check your link settings, including TX power and frequency. Then, verify the antenna alignment. If problems persist, consider replacing the local or remote ODU.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Antenna Power Input #1 is Down?
- M
  Mitchell DavisAug 20, 2025
  If Power Input #1 is down on your Ceragon Antenna, it indicates a subrack redundant power feed failure. First, verify that the power input is correctly connected to the -48 VDC supply. Next, check the -48 VDC supply to the subrack. If you're not using a redundant power feed, disable Power Input #1.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Power Input #2 is Down?
- R
  Ryan DavisAug 23, 2025
  If Power Input #2 is down on your Ceragon Antenna, it suggests a subrack redundant power feed failure. Initiate troubleshooting by confirming that the power input is connected to the -48 VDC supply. Proceed by inspecting the -48 VDC supply to the subrack. If a redundant power feed isn't utilized, consider disabling Power Input #2.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Antenna Tx Level is Out of Range?
- C
  Christopher LewisAug 26, 2025
  If the Tx level of your Ceragon Antenna is out of range, it means that the ODU cannot transmit the requested Tx power. You can gradually reduce the TX power. If the problem persists, consider replacing the ODU.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Cable is Open?
- M
  Michelle ValdezAug 28, 2025
  If you encounter an open cable error with your Ceragon Antenna, where the IDM-ODU cable is open, start by checking the IF cable and its connectors. Verify that the ODU N-type connector inner pin is not spliced, and if it is, replace the ODU. If the issue persists, try replacing the IDM or the ODU.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T has No Signal from ODU?
- G
  grossjenniferAug 31, 2025
  If there is no signal from ODU in your Ceragon Antenna, meaning no Rx (140 MHz) signal, begin by inspecting the IF cable and connectors. Then, verify that the ODU N-type connector inner pin is not spliced. If it is, replace the ODU. If the issue continues, replace the IDM or ODU. For 1500HP, check the BMA connector center pin on both the RFU and OCB to ensure it is not spliced.

What to do if Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Antenna ODU Temperature is Out of Range?
- M
  Ms. Rachael Craig PhDSep 2, 2025
  If the ODU temperature of your Ceragon Antenna is out of range (too high or too low), first check the installation conditions. If the temperature issue persists, replace the ODU.

How to fix Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Synthesizer #1/2/3 Unlocked?
- M
  Melissa TaylorSep 5, 2025
  If one of the synthesizers is unlocked on your Ceragon Antenna ODU, replace the ODU. In an XPIC configuration, the ODU might synchronize with the mate ODU; if this is the case, check whether the alarm persists in a non-XPIC configuration.

What to do if Ceragon Antenna Drawer Internal Power Failure (Board #1)?
- H
  Holly HerreraSep 8, 2025
  If you experience a Drawer Internal Power Failure (Board #1) on your Ceragon Antenna, note that Board #1 is the MUX card and Board #2 is the Modem card. This alarm can also occur if a drawer in Internal Protection was switched off. Try switching the IDM off and on. If the problem persists, replace the IDM.

How to resolve Ceragon FibeAir 3200T Antenna IDU-MUX Inner Communication Failure?
- M
  Michael JonesSep 12, 2025
  If you're experiencing an IDU-MUX inner communication failure with your Ceragon Antenna, where the IDC cannot communicate with the MUX card or the MUX card upload failed, try the following: reset the IDU. Verify the correct software version and interfaces. If the problem persists, replace the IDU.
