1.1 Hardware Description

1.1.1 Configurations

With this product, one BTS comprises up to six units of two TRX, in a

hierarchical interconnection.

Only one of these units handles the Abis lines; this unit called the master,

the other units called slaves.

A unit can have one antenna output (3.2 W/TRX max. power) or two

antenna outputs (7 W/TRX max. power).

One lower slave cannot be equipped because of 12 TRX limitation!In the following exemples the Slave 22 is eliminated, but depending on siteconfiguration, you can have maximum 3 lower slave units on the 4 possiblepositions: Slave11, Slave12, Slave 21, Slave 22.

Appendix D : Antenna Port and External Alarm Mapping Rules

Appendix D: Antenna Port and External Alarm MappingRules

Rules for antenna port mapping

If there is an antenna port on a micro-BTS unit (master or slave), thecorresponding field will be completed with the sector number (1...6)

If there is no antenna port (units with one antenna output or unconnected

slaves) the corresponding port will be completed with 0 (disabled)

Example 1:Master unit with no slaves, two antenna outputs 1x2:

Master port A: 1 Master port B: 1

Example 2:Master-slave configuration 3x4, no diversity


Slave 1 port A: 1 Slave 1 port B: 0





Example 3:Master-slave configuration 2x6, with diversity







3BK 17422 3081 RJZZA Ed.02 71 / 74




Rules for alarm mapping

The mapping for alarms 9-56 are take into consideration only if the slave unitsare installed. Otherwise they are considered disabled and are not reported.

All the alarms that are not used are set to 255 . This means that they aredisabled.

Select each external alarm 1- 56 (See Figure 28 ) and modify the logicalnumber as required.

If you select [ Default Setting ] in the “Remote Inventory “ window ofUT_BCB_17, the good values will be directly mapped for the alarms, detailed inthe following tables.
