High power radio-frequency signals are harmful to human body.
Before installing or maintaining an antenna on a steel tower or mast with a large number of
transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with all parties to ensure that the transmitter
antennas are shut down.
The base transceiver station (BTS) has RF radiation (radiation hazard). Suggestions for the
installation and operation of BTSs are given in the following section. Operators are also required
to comply with the related local regulations on erecting BTSs.
l The antenna should be located in an area that is inaccessible to the public where the RF
radiation exceeds the stipulated value.

RNC
l If the areas where RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value are accessible to workers,
ensure that workers know where these areas are. They can shut down the transmitters before
entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they exist, the areas must be within a
range of less than 10 m around the antennas.
l Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the
public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with
unaided eyes.
Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of
light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters
the eye, the retina may be damaged.
Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the
unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes
may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye
loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end.
Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
l Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot
ensure that the optical source is switched off.
l To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.
l Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look
into the optical fiber connector or end.
Read the following instructions before handling optical fibers:
l Only the trained personnel can cut and splice optical fibers.
l Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure that the optical fiber is disconnected from
the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, use protecting caps to protect all
the optical connectors.

RNC
1.6 Working at Heights
CAUTION
When working at heights, ensure that the objects do not fall.
When working at heights, ensure that the following requirements must be met:
l The personnel who work at heights must be trained.
l The operating machines and tools should be carried and handled safely to prevent them
from falling.
l Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, should be taken.
l In cold regions, warm clothes should be worn before working at heights.
l Ensure that the lifting appliances are well prepared for working at heights.
Lifting Weights
CAUTION
Do not access the areas under the arm of the crane and the goods in suspension when lifting
weights.
l Ensure that the operators have been trained and qualified.

l Check the weight lifting tools and ensure that they are intact.
l Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly mounted onto the weight-
bearing object or the wall.
l Use a concise instruction to prevent incorrect operation.
l The angle between the two cables should be less than or equal to 90o in the lifting of weights
(See Figure 1-2).

RNC
Figure 1-2 Lifting a weight
Safety Guide on Ladder Use

Checking the Ladder
l Check the ladder before using it. Check the maximum weight that the ladder can support.
l Never overload the ladder.
Placing the Ladder
l The slant angle is preferred to be 75o. The slant can be measured with the angle square or
with arms, as shown in Figure 1-3. When using a ladder, place the wider end of the ladder
on the ground and take protective measures on the base of the ladder against slippage. Place
the ladder on a stable ground.
When climbing the ladder, ensure the following:
l The gravity of the body does not shift from the edge of the ladder.
l Keep balance on the ladder before performing any operation.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth highest step of the ladder.
If you tend to climb to the roof, the length of the ladder should be at least one meter higher than
the eave, as shown in Figure 1-4.

1.7 Mechanical Safety

Drilling
CAUTION
Do not drill on the cabinet without permission. Inappropriate drilling on the cabinet may damage
the electromagnetic shielding and internal cables. Metal shavings from the drilling may result
in a short-circuit of the circuit board if they get into the cabinet.
l Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables from the cabinet.
l During the drilling, wear blinkers to protect your eyes.

RNC
l During the drilling, wear the protective gloves.

l Prevent the metal shavings from getting into the cabinet. After drilling, clean the metal
shavings in time.
Handling Sharp Objects
CAUTION
When carrying the device by hand, wear the protective gloves to prevent injury by sharp objects.
Handling Fans
l When replacing a component, place the component, screw, and tool at a safe place to prevent
them from falling into the running fan.
l When replacing the ambient equipment around the fan, do not place the finger or board
into the running fan until the fan is switched off and stops running.
Moving Heavy Objects

Wear the protective gloves when moving heavy objects.
CAUTION
l Be careful when moving heavy objects.
l When moving the chassis outwards, be aware about the unfixed or heavy objects on the
chassis to prevent injury.
l Two persons should be available to move a chassis; one person must not move a heavy
chassis. When moving a chassis, keep your back straight and move stably to prevent a
sprain.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handle or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold the
handle of the installed modules in the chassis, such as the power module, fan module, or
board.
1.8 Others
Inserting and Removing a Board
CAUTION

2.2 RNC Spare Parts Preparations

This part describes the spare parts that should be prepared for the RNC site maintenance.
Principles for Spare Parts Preparations

The principles for RNC spare parts preparations are described as follows:
l If some types of boards do not work in active/standby mode, the priority for spare parts
preparations is high. Any faults in these boards may affect related services.
l If some types of boards work in active/standby mode, the priority for spare parts
preparations is low. When such a board is faulty, the standby board becomes active, which
does not affect the services.
l If some types of boards such as DPUb work in a resource pool, the priority for spare parts
preparations is medium. When such a board is faulty, the services may not be interrupted
but the system performance degrades.
l The filler panel is used to form a ventilation loop and ensures the electromagnetic fielding
and pleasant appearance of the cabinet. The priority of the filler panel for spare parts
preparation is medium.
Suggestions for Spare Parts Preparations

Prerequisite
l The LMT is started and the LMT properly communicates with the BAM. If the OMUa is
faulty and fails to communicates with the LMT, the version of the LMT application must
be consistent with the software version of the standby OMUa.

RNC
l The standby OMUa is installed and configured with all necessary software. When
configuring the new OMUa board, ensure that the following items are consistent with those
of the OMUa board to be replaced:
– Operating system administrator password
– SQL Server password
– FTP server password
– System administtrator (admin for short) password
– The virtual internal and external IP address of OMUa board

CAUTION
l When only one OMUa board is configured, the replacement interrupts the communication
between BAM and FAM. The active data of the RNC is lost.
l When two OMUa boards that work in active/standby mode are configured, the replacement
of the standby OMUa does not affect the RNC.
Procedure
Step 1 If two OMUa boards are configured, ensure that the OMUa to be replaced is not active.
If... Then...
The OMUa to be replaced is faulty. Replace the faulty OMUa only after the board is
automatically switched to standby mode or stops
running.
The OMUa is replaced for other reasons. Run the DSP BRD command to query the status
of the new board.
l If the OMUa to be replaced is active, run the
SWP BAM command on the LMT for a
forcible switchover. Then run the DSP BAM
command five minutes later to ensure that the
board is in standby state.
l If the OMUa to be replaced is standby, replace
the OMUa with a new one.

RNC
CAUTION
If part of the processes on the active OMUa malfunction after an emergency switchover, you
may infer that the data between both OMUa boards is not synchronized before the switchover.
Use either of the following methods for troubleshooting:
l If the previously active OMUa can work properly, stop the active OMUa and switch over
the other OMUa from standby to active. Then start the new standby OMUa. Run the SWP
BAM command on the LMT to perform a forcible switchover after the data between the
active OMUa and the standby OMUa is synchronized.
l Restore the data manually on the malfunctional active OMUa. For details, refer to Restoring
RNC System Data.
Step 2 Turn outwards the ejector levers of the OMUa, as shown in part (1) of Figure 8-6.

9 Replacing RNC Cables Site Maintenance Guide
9.1 Cabling Specifications for RNC Signal Cables

The cabling specifications refer to the minimum bending radiuses of signal cables, the
requirements for routing cables, and the requirements for binding cables.
Requirements for Installing RNC Signal Cables

l If the connectors of the signal cables are made before delivery, pack the connectors with
soft and durable materials to avoid damage during the cabling.
l Ensure that the jackets of the signal cables are not damaged during the cabling.
l The actual installation positions must meet the requirements of site survey and the data
configuration.
l The actual bending radius of the signal cable should be greater than the minimum bending
radius.
l The optical cables must be sheathed using protective pipes, that is, corrugated pipes and
winding pipes, for the cabling outside the cabinet.
l When installing the optical cables, do not step on or stretch the optical cables lest the optical
cables may be damaged.
l Use different methods to remove the optical connectors. Do not pull out the connectors
forcibly. Otherwise, the optical ports may be damaged.
l Cover the optical connectors not in use with dustproof caps.
l The TX end of the E1/T1 trunk cable must be connected to the RX end of the peer E1/T1
cable.
l The RNC and the peer equipment might use different types of cables, such as the 75-ohm
coaxial cable and 120-ohm twisted pair cable. In this case, use a adapter or a transfer cable
for impedance conversion between the cables of different types.
Minimum Bending Radiuses of Signal Cables

Table 9-1 lists the requirements for the bending radiuses of signal cables. Ensure that the
requirements are met.
Table 9-1 Minimum bending radiuses of signal cables
Cable Minimum Bending Radius
Ethernet cable No less than 25 mm
Optical cable No less than 40 mm
Trunk cable No less than 40 mm
Requirements for Routing RNC Signal Cables

l Separate the signal cables from the power cables. If the signal cables are crossed with the
power cables, the angle must be 90°.

RNC
l Ensure that the requirements for the bending radiuses of signal cables listed in Table 9-1
are met.
l Reserve extra length of the signal cables near connectors for the convenience of inserting
and pulling the connectors.
l Do not cross the signal cables over each other when routing the signal cables inside the
cabinet. The signal cables shall be led out along the two sides of the subrack. The cables
whose connectors are far away from the ports shall be arranged on the outer side of the
cable bundle. The cables whose connectors are near the ports shall be arranged on the inner
side of the cable bundle. The cables must not cross each other. The cables shall be routed
smoothly without any tangling.
l When the signal cables are routed on the cable ladder and the distance between the cable
ladder and the top of the cabinet exceeds 800 mm, use a ladder to lead the signal cables
downwards.
l Lead the signal cables into or out of the cabinet through the cable holes, as shown in Figure
9-1. Before routing, remove the plastic rodent-proof cover plate from the cable holes. After
routing, cut the appropriate plastic rodent-proof cover plates, and cover the cable holes in
the upper and lower enclosures. Use screws to fix the cover plate that covers the cable hole
in the lower enclosure.

l The cabling shall be in accordance with the engineering design.

l The cabling is clear, proper, and smooth at the bends. The cables are laid in parallel.
l The cabling facilitates maintenance and capacity expansion.
Requirements for Binding RNC Signal Cables

l Bind signal cables separately from power cables. When signal cables are laid parallel to
power cables, leave more than 10 mm between signal cables and power cables inside the
cabinet and more than 100 mm between them outside the cabinet.
l Bind the signal cables at the inlet and outlet of the cable trough and at the bends, as shown
in Figure 9-5. Do not bind the signal cables in the cable trough.
Figure 9-5 Binding signal cables at bends

RNC
l Bind optical cables in pairs at intervals of 150 mm. Cover the optical cables outside the
cabinet by corrugated pipes.
l Bind the cables that are routed on the cable rack and bundle them neatly.
l Reserve extra length of the signal cables near connectors for the convenience of inserting
and pulling the connectors.
l The tips of the cable ties point to the same direction. The signal cables are bound in proper
tightness. For indoor cable ties, cut off the surplus completely. For outdoor cable ties, leave
an extra length of 3 mm to 5 mm.
l The cable ties shall be spaced evenly. For the trunk cables outside the cabinet, it is
recommended that you bind them at an interval of 1,000 mm. For the trunk cables inside
the cabinet, it is recommended to bind them at an interval of 150 mm to 200 mm. For
Ethernet cables, it is recommended to bind them at an interval of 70±5 mm.

Description of DIP Switches

The DIP switch on the RNC subrack has eight bits. The higher the bit is, the more significant it
is. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit is set to OFF, it indicates 1. Table 12-1 provides
the definitions of the bits.

2 Subrack number setting bit
6 Parity check bit
7 Not used in the RNC and is usually set to 0

RNC
Bit Meaning
8, the most significant l If bit 8 is set to 0, the SCUa board can be started only by the
bit loading on the OMUa board.
l If bit 8 is set to 1, a loading request is sent to the OMUa board
before the SCUa board is started. If the OMUa board responds
within 30 s, the SCUa board is started by the loading on the OMUa
board. If the OMUa board fails to respond within 30 s, the SCUa
board is started by the loading on Flash.
For RNC, bit 8 is usually set to 1.
Setting of DIP switches

Table 12-2 shows the setting of the DIP switches for the RNC subracks. Subrack 0 is an RSS
subrack. Subracks 1–5 are RBS subracks.

(1) Sub-board (2) Bottom plate
CAUTION
l All DIP switches of the PEUa are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is faced
to and combined with the bottom plate, and so the DIP switches are hidden in between.
l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 12-2, there
are two square holes between sub-boards, one between sub-boards S2 and S4, and the other
between sub-boards S8 and S6. Through the holes, you can set DIP switches S2, S4, S8, and
S6. S10 is located in the right corner of the sub-board where you can set it along the side.
l To set S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, move the DIP switch inwards. To set S2, S4, S6, or S8 to
OFF, move the DIP switch outwards. To set S10 to ON, move it outwards. To set S10 to
OFF, move it inwards.

RNC

S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the AEUa are used to enable or disable the grounding of 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/
J1s at the TX end. S10 is used to set E1 in balanced mode or unbalanced mode, and T1 or J1 in
work mode. Figure 12-2 describes S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 in detail.

l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxial
cable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP switch is set to ON. If
signals are transmitted in other modes, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted pair
cable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP switch is set to OFF.
l All the DIP switches are set to E1 balanced mode by default, that is, all the bits of S2, S4, S6, and S8
are set to OFF. For S10, the first bit is set to OFF and the second to ON.
l Ensure that the matching between the different types of DIP switches is correct.
