Troubleshooting FAQ
Quick orientation for choosing the right troubleshooting branch.
Should I troubleshoot by technology or by problem type?
If you already know whether the issue is 5G, LTE, or IMS, start with the technology page. If not, begin with the problem-type cards.
What is the difference between access failure and session failure?
Access failure stops the UE from entering service. Session failure happens after access succeeds but data or bearer setup fails.
Where should I go for paging and idle mode issues?
Use the paging and idle mode category, then choose the technology-specific troubleshooting page.
Where should I go for VoLTE or VoNR call issues?
Open the IMS and Voice troubleshooting area, then select VoLTE, VoNR, SIP, bearer, or media path topics.
Which section helps with logs, causes, and timers?
Use the Tools, Logs, and KPI Analysis section for message decode, cause reference, timer analysis, and trace workflows.
