3.2 Classification of CabinetsBased on functions, cabinets are classified into the main processing rack (MPR), extendedprocessing rack (EPR), and transcoder rack (TCR).

MPR

Only one MPR is configured in the BSC6900.

EPR

The number of EPRs to be configured depends on the traffic volume, but only one EPR can beconfigured in the BSC6900. You can also choose not to configure the EPR.

TCR

The number of TCRs to be configured depends on the traffic volume and the configuration modesof subracks. Up to two TCRs can be configured in the BSC6900. You can also choose not toconfigure a TCR.

l The types of interface boards, installation positions of cables, and number of cables shown in Figure3-14 are taken as examples. The actual configurations depend on the site planning.

l Among the multiple TCSs configured in the BSC6900 cabinet, one TCS is responsible for forwardingthe OM signals from other TCSs, and this TCS is referred to as the main TCS. In Figure 3-14, thelowest TCS serves as the main subrack. In practice, any TCS can serve as the main subrack, and theSCUa board in the main TCS is connected to the SCUa boards in other TCSs in star topology.

Figure 5-5 Cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack

Description about the DIP SwitchThe DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. Thehigher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 5-6 describes the bits.




Issue 03 (2010-09-20)

Table 5-6 Description about the bits

Bit Description

1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is theleast significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bitis set to OFF, it indicates 1.

6 Odd parity check bit

7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON

8 (the most significantbit)

Reserved

Principle of the DIP Switch SettingAs the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an oddnumber. The method for setting the bits is as follows:

1. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required.2. Set bit 7 to ON.3. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch. Note that the setting of bit 8

remains unchanged.l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF.l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON.

Assume that the subracks are numbered from 0 to 2 and that bit 8 is set to OFF. Table 5-7describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.

Figure 6-19 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

Figure 6-19 Layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board




6-63

NOTE

l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottomplate, so the DIP switches are not exposed.

l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 6-19, there are twosquare holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Throughthe two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the sub-board, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 6-19 is to turninwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, orS8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits ofS10 to OFF, turn them inwards.

l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency betweenthe physical setting of S10 on the PEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting bycommand as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SETE1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode,E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support forbalanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you mustalso manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalancedmode.

l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxialcable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signalsare transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted paircable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.

DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the groundingof 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 6-53 describes the DIPswitches on the PEUa board.

9 DIP Switches on Components

About This Chapter

This chapter describes the DIP switches on the boards and subracks of the BSC6900.


9.2 DIP Switches on the EIUa BoardThe EIUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6.

9.3 DIP Switch on the MDMC BoardThe MDMC board provides an S2 DIP switch.

9.4 DIP Switch on the PAMU BoardThe PAMU provides an SW1 DIP switch.

9.5 DIP Switches on the PEUa BoardThe PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.

9.6 DIP Switch on the PFCU BoardThe PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIPswitch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in afan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU boardis configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4.

9.7 Pins on the PFCB BoardThe PFCB board provides eight pairs of pins for jumpers. After being connected to jumpers,these pins are used to set the address and working mode of the PFCB board. The settings of thesepins depend on the installation position of the PFCB board.

Location of the DIP SwitchThe DIP switch is located on the lower back of the subrack. For details on the location of theDIP switch, see 5.2 Components of the Subrack.

AppearanceFigure 9-1 shows the cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack.

Figure 9-1 Cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack

Description about the DIP SwitchThe DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. Thehigher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 9-1 describes the bits.

Issue 03 (2010-09-20)

Table 9-1 Description about the bits

Bit Description

1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is theleast significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bitis set to OFF, it indicates 1.

6 Odd parity check bit

7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON


Reserved

Principle of the DIP Switch SettingAs the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an oddnumber. The method for setting the bits is as follows:

1. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required.2. Set bit 7 to ON.3. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch. Note that the setting of bit 8

remains unchanged.l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF.l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON.

Assume that the subracks are numbered from 0 to 2 and that bit 8 is set to OFF. Table 9-2describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.

9.2 DIP Switches on the EIUa BoardThe EIUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6.

Figure 9-2 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the EIUa board.



9-3

Figure 9-2 Layout of the DIP switches on the EIUa board


NOTE

l When the 75-ohm coaxial cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1 unbalanced mode. In thiscase, the TX end is grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to ON.

l When the 120-ohm twisted pair cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1(T1) balanced mode.In this case, the TX end is not grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to OFF.

l All DIP switches of the EIUa board are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is faced toand combined with the bottom plate, and so the DIP switches are hidden in between.

Table 9-3 describes the DIP switches on the EIUa board.

l The DIP switches are set for 75-ohm coaxial cables by default.

l The setting for the DIP switches on the active board must be the same as that for the DIP switcheson the standby board.

l The RX end is not grounded either in balanced or in unbalanced mode.

9.3 DIP Switch on the MDMC BoardThe MDMC board provides an S2 DIP switch.

Figure 9-3 shows the layout of the DIP switch on the MDMC board.

Figure 9-3 DIP switch on the MDMC board

With four bits, the DIP switch S4 is used to set the address of the MDMC board.

To set the address, first remove the MDMC board and then set S2 as described in Table 9-5.

9.5 DIP Switches on the PEUa BoardThe PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10.

Figure 9-5 shows the layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board.



9-7

Figure 9-5 Layout of the DIP switches on the PEUa board





Issue 03 (2010-09-20)

NOTE

l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottomplate, so the DIP switches are not exposed.

l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 9-5, there are twosquare holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Throughthe two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the sub-board, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 9-5 is to turninwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, orS8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits ofS10 to OFF, turn them inwards.

l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency betweenthe physical setting of S10 on the PEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting bycommand as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SETE1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode,E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support forbalanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you mustalso manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalancedmode.

l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxialcable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signalsare transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted paircable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.

DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the groundingof 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 9-7 describes the DIPswitches on the PEUa board.
