AH-146 following a TLU power cycle.
Workaround: Manually restart the RRH to recover the CPRI link
2 AH-356 Problem: The ALU SFP EEPROM “vendor” fields are displayed in
hex format.
Workaround: The following mapping can be used to determine the
ALU part number installed in the TLU client port:
“1AB187280065” contains 0x…314142313837323830303635…
“1AB429380001” contains 0x…314142343239333830303031…

3 AH-367 Problem: The TLU cannot read receive power levels in "externally
calibrated" client SFPs (1AB187280065 & 1AB376370001)
Workaround: Use "internally calibrated" SFPs (1AB429380001) in
TLU clients ports and add attenuators to ensure receive power is
within acceptable range.
