Chapter 1 Overview

The BSC cabinets are classified into CDMA BSC business rack (CBUR) and CDMA
BSC control rack (CCTR) according to their functions and applications. Both the CBUR
and the CCTR use the B68-21 cabinet. However, the compositions of the CBUR and
CCTR differ in internal parts.
For detailed information of CBUR and CCTR, refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.

1.2.1 Power Distribution Box


The power distribution box of the B68-21 cabinet is installed on the top of the cabinet.
The power distribution box leads in two 48 V power supplies, and outputs four groups
of 48 V power for functional subracks in the cabinet. The power distribution box
provides internal lightning protection and over-current protection. It also detects the
input voltage and the state of the output power, and sends out alarm signals when
faults occur.
The height and the depth of the power distribution box are 2 U and 420 mm
respectively.
For operating principles and detailed information about the boards of the power
distribution box, see the module Boards.

1.2.2 Subrack
The subrack is designed to integrate all the boards in it through the backplane to form a
standalone unit.
The BSC subracks are classified into the CDMA switch subrack (CSWS) and the
service subrack according to their functions and applications.
For details, see the module Subrack.

1.2.3 Cable Trough


The cable trough is used to separate the cables led out from the front of the subracks to
both sides of the cabinet. It also functions to maintain a congestion-free air duct.

The fan monitoring board address depends on the setting of DIP switch SW2 on the fan
box. The monitoring information of XPSU and the fan monitoring board are both
reported to the BAM through CMUXs. Therefore, you must set different addresses for
the XPSU and the fan monitoring board monitored by the same CMUX. The addresses
"0", "1", and "2" are available. The address of the CSWS fan monitoring board is set to
"2" permanently, and the other fan monitoring board is set to "1" permanently. The
XPSU address can be "0" or "2".
Table 1-1shows the ON/OFF state of SW2 bits, when the fan monitoring board address
is "1" or "2".

Subracks
Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter introduces the classification of subracks and the similarities and
differences of switching subracks and service subracks.

1.1 Functions and Classification of Subracks


A subrack integrates all the boards in it into a standalone functional unit through the
backplane.
According to different functions, BSC subracks can be divided into switching subracks
and service subracks. According to different boards used in subracks, service subracks
can be divided into CDMA integrated processing subrack (CIPS), CDMA resources and
packet subrack (CRPS), and CDMA packet module subrack (CPMS).

1.2 Composition
1.2.1 Components
The switching subrack and the service subrack are composed of the same components.
The service subrack contains 16 slots.
The switching subrack contains 15 slots. The slot for CNET is special and its width is
around 1.5 times of the common slot.
Figure 1-1 shows the composition of a BSC subrack.

Figure 1-1 Composition of the subrack


The subrack is 9 U in height and its dimensions are 400 mm (H) 482.6 mm (W) 420
mm (D).
The BSC subrack can ensure the electrical continuity of the subrack as a whole and the
shielding effect thanks to its standard shielding design. The subrack and the front panel
of the board are shielded from each other by using the conductive cloth. Two DC power
filters are installed at the back of the subrack, filtering the 48 V AC power to suppress
the conductive radiation of the power to modules
The shielding effect of the subrack can reach
z

30 230 MHz: 30 dB

230 1000 MHz: 20 dB

1.2.2 Backplane
Backplane is an important part of a subrack. Different boards in the same subrack are
connected through the printed circuits on the backplane. This substantially reduces the
cabling at the back of the backplane and improves the operational reliability of the
equipment.
The switching subrack and the service subrack have their own backplanes, which will
be detailed later.

1.4.2 DIP Switch


The DIP switch S1 on the backplane has eight switches used to set the subrack No..
When the switch is set to On, it represents 0. Otherwise, it represents 1. Through the
setting of these eight switches, an 8-bit binary number is specified to represent the
subrack No..
For example, as the decimal number 3 becomes 00000011 when it is converted into
the binary number, the S1 should be set as shown in Figure 1-6 to represent subrack 3.

data burst (SDB) and MD5 encryption.
The CPMS also completes the PCF functions such as the replacement and transfer
of GRE and IP route heads. It sets up the A10/A11 interface to the PDSN and
converts the uplink A8 traffic data into the A10 traffic data before sending them to the
PDSN. It also buffers the downlink A10 traffic data before sending them to the BSC.
In the BSC system, one CRPS can handle the data service with a data throughput of
40 Mbps. When the data throughput is over 40 Mbps, CPMSs should be configured. A
maximum of four CPMSs can be configured, with a data throughput of 100 Mbps for
each CPMS. Only the large-capacity BSC need to be configured with the CPMS.
Generally, only one CPMS is configured.

5.2 Configuration
The CPMS is configured in the CBUR. Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 show the board
configurations of the CPMS.

Chapter 1 Introduction to the Boards


A board is an integrated circuit board that can fulfill a specific function. It consists of
hardware and software. A physical board loaded with different software can fulfill
different functions.

1.1 Functional Boards


BSC boards are alike in structures and appearances, as shown in Figure 1-1.

1) Interface

2) Board panel

3) Indicator

4) Ejector levers

5) Plug

Figure 1-1 Board hardware


Each board occupies one slot in a subrack. The slots are of the same width except that
the slots occupied by CNETs are as 1.5 times wide as the others.

1.2 Board Structure


Panels and integrated circuit (IC) boards compose board hardware. Functions of a
board are realized on its IC board.

Board
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Boards

1.2.1 Board Panels


Some boards have the same panel, whereas some do not. Panel differences lie in:
z

CNET panels are of different width.

If boards provide different ports, their panels are different in the shapes and
amounts of apertures of embedded ports on the panels.

There are levers on front panels. You can use them to fasten boards on subracks or
draw boards out of subracks.
For details about specific panels, see associated board descriptions in this module.

1.2.2 IC Boards
Each board is configured with only one printed circuited board (PCB), on which are
such components as IC chips, indicators, and plugs. Some boards also have pinch
boards, ports, and reset switches on their PCBs to perform expansion and provide
physical interfaces.
When you insert a board into a subrack, the plug on the board engages with the pins on
the subrack backplane. Thus, the data channel between the board and backplane
forms. In this way, all boards in a subrack can exchange data through the subrack
backplane.
Indicators indicate running statuses of boards. For various statuses and indications of
specific indicators on different boards, see associated board descriptions in this
module.

Chapter 2 CMUX

Chapter 2 CMUX
This chapter introduces the functions, operating principles, and technical indices of
the CDMA system multiplexer unit (CMUX).
The CMUX is the main control board of service subrack. Composed of the main
board and optical sub-board, it performs the cell distribution of the subrack where it
resides, the time division multiplexing (TDM) switching and the system maintenance.
Each subrack is configured with two CMUXs. They operate in active-standby mode to
guarantee the reliability of system.
The CMUX is configured in the CIPS, CRPS, and CPMS.

2.1 Functions and Operating Principles


2.1.1 Functions
The CMUX provides the functions as follows:
z

ATM cell switching.

TDM switching.

AAL2 switching.

Providing synchronization clock.

Providing hot backup and active-standby switchover functions.

Managing and monitoring the software loading of all boards in the subrack.

Monitoring the power subrack, fan box, and environmental operating status.

Figure 2-1 Hardware structure of CMUX


The CMUX consists of the following modules.

I. CPU
There are two sets of central processing units (CPUs) on the CMUX. The CPU A
initializes and controls the peripheral chips and manages the boards inside the
subrack. The CPU B can be used as a peripheral of CPU A. However, it cannot
control other modules on the CMUX.

II. ATM bus interface module


Through the ATM bus interface module, the CMUX connects the backplane bus to the
CMUX bus and transmits and receives signals between the CMUX and other boards.

III. Optical interface module


The optical sub-board of CMUX is connected to the main board through connectors.
The CPU A can control and configure the components on the sub-board. The optical
interface module can be connected with the relevant modules through single-mode or
multi-mode 155 Mbps optical fibers. The optical sub-board is not only the channel for
transmitting and receiving ATM cells between the CMUX and other modules but also
the channel for the CMUX to report alarms and communicate with the BAM.
The chips of the sub-boards, which can be configured by the CPU A, can generate
alarms such as signal loss alarm and receiving cell error alarm. The CPU A can
analyze these alarm messages and decide whether to initiate an active-standby
switchover.

IV. System clock module


The CMUX also generates the system clock for the subrack. It can retrieve one 8 kHz
clock signal from the six upper-level clocks from the optical sub-board, panel, and

Chapter 2 CMUX

backplane, and after the phase-lock processing generate frame synchronization and
clock signals for other boards in the subrack and itself.

V. TDM switching module


This module is designed to perform timeslot switching between the backplane bus
and extended bus. The CPU A configures this module and has a data channel
connecting to this module for the CMUX to load and control other boards.

VI. Synchronization module


This module synchronizes the BSC with the satellite clock so as to realize the BSC
intra-subrack synchronization and inter-subrack synchronization.

VII. ATM switching module


This module is the core switching module of CMUX. It fulfills such functions as ATM
layer connection management, resource management, operation, and multicast.
z

For connection management, it offers the connection enabling control function


for five kinds of services, namely, constant bit rate (CBR), realtime variable bit
rate (rt-VBR), non-realtime variable bit rate (nrt-VBR), available bit rate (ABR),
and unspecified bit rate (UBR).

For resource management, it offers such functions as policing, buffer


management, and quality of service (QoS) management.

VIII. Control logic module


This module fulfills the following functions:
z

Micro-processor interface between the two CPUs and the peripheral chips.

Active-standby switchover. It ensures:


-One board is active and the other is standby.
-Insertion and removal of the standby board do not affect the status of the active
board.
-A switchover occurs automatically when the active board is reset.

Watchdog, ensuring the system to reset automatically in the case of exception.

Serial port release protection. It prevents the abnormal CPU A from affecting the
serial port communication between other boards.

IX. Local clock module


There are many chips on the CMUX. Accordingly, multiple clocks are available. The
high-precision (< 50 ppm) crystal oscillator is used to guarantee high efficiency of the
chips.

Chapter 7 CHAC

Chapter 7 CHAC
This chapter introduces the functions, operating principles, and technical indices of
the CDMA high-speed access controller (CHAC).
The CHAC processes GRE traffic data, forwards traffic and signaling data, and
transfers AT access authentication messages between the AN and AN-AAA. It
provides A10/A11 interfaces to the PDSN, and A12 interface to the AN-AAA.
The CHAC is configured in the CRPS or the CPMS.

7.1 Functions and Operating Principles


7.1.1 Functions
The CHAC performs the following functions:
z

Downlink traffic data forwarding. It forwards the A10 traffic data received from
the PDSN to the CBPU.

Uplink traffic data processing and forwarding. It processes the A8 traffic data
received from the CPPU and the SDB data received from the CPCU, and
forwards them to the PDSN through the A10 interface.

Downlink signaling data forwarding. It directly forwards the A11 signaling data
received from the PDSN to the CPCU.

Uplink signaling data forwarding. It directly forwards the A11 signaling data
received from the CPCU to the PDSN.

Providing 1000M Ethernet interface to the PDSN and supporting RFC826


(Ethernet ARP) protocol.

Carrying signaling messages between the AN and AN AAA.

7.1.2 Operating Principles


I. Hardware operating principle
The CHAC, which forwards and processes PCF data packets, consists of processor
module, ATM adaptation module, bus interface module, and sub-board interface, as
shown in Figure 7-1.

Power module
Figure 7-1 Hardware structure of CHAC
The CHAC is configured with a special chip which integrates a high-performance
processor and several micro-processing engines for packet forwarding. It can process
up to 2 million packets per second.
The CHAC forwards data in form of packets, while the backplane bus interface
module receives and transmits data in form of ATM cells. Therefore, the data packets
need to be segmented into ATM cells before being sent to the backplane bus
interface module. Similarly, the ATM cells also need to be reassembled into data
packets before reaching the interface processing module of the destination board.
The whole process is called segment and reassembly (SAR). The SAR function is
performed by the ATM adaptation module between the processor and the backplane
bus interface module.
According to the ATM theory, adaptation modes can be divided into ATM adaptation
layer 1 (AAL1), ATM adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) and ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5)
depending on the traffic types and the demands for transmission timeliness and
efficiency. Based on the features of the IP data packet, the CHAC adopts the
adaptation mode of AAL5.
Using the SC optical connector, the 1,000M Ethernet interface provides single-mode
or multi-mode optical interface. The single-mode optical interface supports up to 10
km transmission, suitable for long-distance transmission. The multi-mode optical
interface supports up to 500 m transmission, suitable for short-distance transmission.

II. Software operating principle


The CHAC software consists of Core software and micro-code. Running on the virtual
operating system (VOS), the Core software is composed of loading module, operation
and maintenance module, forwarding management module, address translation
module, and bottom layer drive module. The micro-code refers to the code that runs

Chapter 10 CNET
This chapter introduces the functions, operating principles, and technical indices of
the CDMA network transfer and switching unit (CNET).
The CNET performs the traffic switching between the boards in the switching subrack
and the traffic switching on the optical interfaces of CLPC/CLPU.
It is configured in the slot for the CSWS.

10.1 Functions and Operating Principles

10.1.2 Operating Principles


The CNET is composed of five units, namely, the high speed backplane interface unit,
switching network unit, intra-board clock and synchronous logic unit, control unit, and
switch clock unit. The circuits of the first three units are on the central switching
network board (CNU), and the circuits of the other two are on the sub-board of CNU.

I. High-speed backplane interface unit


This unit performs speed adaptation and signaling format conversion between the
CNU and the high-speed backplane.

II. Switching network unit


Based on the core switching network structure of 3-level blocking-free shared buffer,
this unit performs fast switching of fixed-length packet at 40 % 40 ports (with a port
rate up to 622 M and a total switching capacity of 25 G) and supports four delay
priorities.
The switching network unit has the following features.
z

Two switching network units need to be configured to form a dual-plane system


(plane A and plane B). Plane A operates synchronously with plane B, each
performing full-capacity fixed-length packet switching independently. The
dual-plane operating mode enhances the reliability of the switching network. It
can implement port-based switchover and thus minimize the impact on users
because of the switching network plane switchover.

In the switching network, the switching flow is controlled by means of


backpressure signal for the purpose of block-free and loss-free switching.

10-2

Hardware Description Manual


Airbridge cBSC6600 CDMA Base Station Controller
z

Boards
Chapter 10 CNET

In the switching network, the impartial optional route scheduling algorithm is


used to arbitrate the switching data packets to guarantee the availability of the
switching channel.

In the switching network, the advanced adaptive dynamic threshold (ADT) is


used to manage the storage queues so as to allocate the buffer resources of the
system reasonably.

It provides the system diagnosis function to report the status of the switching
network in real time and to help the system detect and trace faults.

III. Clock and synchronous logic unit


The functions include:
z

Provide highly-accurate reference clock signals for the high-speed transceiver.

Provide global clock signals and global timeslot synchronization signals for the
switching network.

IV. Control unit


The functions include:
z

Configure the switching network unit, monitor the status of switching network,
and handle faults.

Perform switch clock phase-locking.

Monitor the clock unit and handling faults, for example, process the clock system
first upon clock system fault.

V. Switch clock unit


1)

Functions
The switch clock unit on the CNET provides the service modules with global
synchronous clock through the optical interface on the CLPC.
By using Huawei mature clock synchronization tracing algorithm, the clock unit
offers enhanced stratrum-3 clock function. Four operating modes are available:
fast pull-in, locked, holdover and free-run.
The external synchronization timing input interfaces of clock unit include 2 Mbps,
2 MHz, 8 KHz and time synchronization interfaces. The 2 Mbps interface and the
2 MHz interface work in multiplexing mode, and the time synchronization input
interface leads in 1PPS pulse signals and serial port text information. The
external synchronization timing output interface of the clock unit outputs 2 Mbps
and 1 PPS pulse signals.

2)

Dual-plane structure
Like the switching network unit, the BSC clock unit is also based on the
dual-plane structure, but it differs in that its two clock planes are not of equal
status. When the selected clock plane is active, the other clock plane will be
standby. According to the 8 KHz synchronization clock sent from the active plane
10-3

Hardware Description Manual


Airbridge cBSC6600 CDMA Base Station Controller

Boards
Chapter 10 CNET

clock unit, the clock unit on the standby plane maintains synchronization with the
active plane to decrease the deviation of phase and frequency of the two plane
clocks upon the switchover so as to ensure the steady and reliable operation.
The clock synchronization reference of the active plane clock unit can be
standard 2 Mbps reference source, 2 MHz reference source or clock source
retrieved from the SDH/SONET/PDH line port. It depends on the quality of the
current system clock synchronization source.
When no building integrated timing supply system (BITS) clock provides the BSC
system

with

synchronization,

the

clock

unit

acquires

synchronization from the line automatically. There are two synchronization link
input interfaces in the clock unit. When the active reference is lost, it will switch
automatically over to the standby reference under the control of software. If the
standby reference also goes faulty, it will switch to the holdover status
automatically. In addition, there is another synchronization clock output interface,
outputting a high-precision 2 MHz synchronization clock, which can serve as the
clock reference for other connected devices through coaxial cables led from the
panel.

the CDMA radio frame (FP MAC RLC) processing board (CFMR).
The CFMR processes layer 2 protocol of the radio link.
The CFMR is configured in the CIPS.

12.1 Functions and Operating Principles


12.1.1 Functions
The CFMR fulfils the following functions:
z

Frame protocol processing function


The frame protocol processing module processes the service frames on the Abis
and A3 interfaces.
In the uplink direction, it extracts the frame number, frame quality indication, time
adjustment and BTS power measurement parameters in the FCH/SCH data from
the service frames.
In the downlink direction, it fills the frame number, forward and reverse link
power control parameters to the downlink service frames.
In addition, it carries out the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the service
frames.

Selection and distribution function


During a soft handoff, the CFMR decides the MS uplink signal frames in several
cells and chooses the best frame for next processing. It duplicates the downlink
signal frame and then distributes the frames to several downlink tributaries.

Outer-loop power control function


The CFMR exercises the outer-loop power control using a specific algorithm
based on the power control parameters configured and the power measurement
values reported on the uplink.

Multiplexing/demultiplexing function
Multiplexing/demultiplexing is a major function of the Media Access Control
(MAC) processing.In the downlink direction, the CFMR encapsulates the
signaling data, voice data and packet data into the MuxPDU.
In the uplink direction, it identifies different MuxPDUs from the uplink frames, and
then separates the signaling data, voice data and packet data from the

12-1

Hardware Description Manual

Boards
Chapter 12 CFMR

MuxPDUs and sends the data to LAC SAR and TRAU frame protocol processing
unit and RLP processing unit respectively.
z

LAC SAR function


The CFMR accomplishes the SAR sub-layer function of the link access control
(LAC). In the downlink direction, it splits LAC PDUs into fragments and fills them
in the MuxPDU. In the uplink direction, it separates LAC data from the MuxPDU
and reassembles them into LAC PDUs.

Radio link protocol (RLP) function


The RLP is a functional entity in the MAC processing. It ensures reliable
transmission of the packet data.

Internal protocol processing unit function


The CFMR processes the internal communication protocol between the CSPU
and the CFMR, and transports LAC PDUs and control frames.
The control frames include the RLP_BLOB parameters used by the RLP unit,
logical/physical mapping parameters used by the multiplexing/demultiplexing unit,
selection and distribution algorithm, outer-loop power control algorithm, and
power control target value.

Transcoder and rate adaptation unit (TRAU) frame protocol processing


The CFMR adds TRAU frame protocol to the voice service frames demultiplexed
from the MAC and transports them to the CEVC.
The voice service frames sent from the CFMR include frame synchronization,
in-band commands, frame data, and CRC bits.

Chapter 19 GCKP

Chapter 19 GCKP
This chapter introduces the functions, operating principles, and technical indices of the
GPS/GLONASS and clock processing board (GCKP)
The GCKP in the clock processing module (CLKM) receives and processes the satellite
synchronization clock signals, provides the GPS time information for network time
synchronization, and provides synchronization clock signals for transmission
synchronization.
The GCKP can receive and process the GPS signals or GPS/GLONASS signals,
depending on the satellite signal receiver configured (GPS receiver or GPS/GLONASS
receiver).

19.1 Functions and Operating Principles


19.1.1 Functions
The GCKP implements the following functions:
z

Receive timing information of the GPS/GLONASS satellite synchronization


system.

Process GPS/GLONASS timing information received to get the PP16S signal and
GPS time information, and then send them to the CMUX in the CRPS for time
synchronization.

Feeding power to the GPS/GLONASS satellite antenna system, and output


PP16S signals and GPS time information in case of timing information interruption
of the satellite antenna system.

Conduct phase locking over the external synchronization clock reference source
or the GPS clock to provide 8 kHz clock for the CMUX in the CRPS as
phase-locking reference source, so that the clock of the CMUX can be
synchronized with the upper-level clock.

19.1.2 Operating principles

CPU System
The CPU system is responsible for FPGA loading, board maintenance and
management, data storage, protocol processing and conversion, and software
phase-locking algorithm.

2)

Satellite access module


The satellite access module comprises a GPS card or a GPS/GLONASS card.
After receiving the GPS/GLONASS satellite signal through antenna, the satellite
signal receiver processes the signal and outputs the 1PPS pulse signal. In
addition, the CPU system on the GCKP communicates with the receiver through
the serial port, sending commands to the receiver, detecting its status and
analyzing the information from it.

3)

Time holdover module


The time holdover module enables the time holdover function of the GCKP, so that
the GCKP can output PPS and time information upon the loss of GPS clock
source.

4)

Clock phase-locking module


Under the control and cooperation of the CPU system, the clock phase-locking
module selects an external reference clock as the phase-locking reference source.
After certain processing, the module conducts digital phase discrimination
between the selected reference clock and the local reference clock to get some
phase data. It then outputs the phase data to the CPU system for processing. The
CPU system adjusts and outputs the frequency and phase of the clock. A complete
phase-locked loop is thus established.

I. Power distribution
z

Wiring terminals
The 48V1, 48V2, two BGNDs and two PGNDs use a 6-pin connecting terminal
bar.
The BGND and PGND led into the cabinet can be short-circuited directly on the
connecting terminal bar.
The rated current of the input terminal is higher than 80 A.
The output terminals are divided into four groups, each of which can connect with
three loaded circuits. The rated current of each terminal is higher than 30 A.

Filter
A filter is built in the distribution box to filter the input power and diminish the
adverse effect of the communication system on the power supply.

K1 K4 switches
As mis-operation protective switches, the K1 K4 can prevent power shutdown
caused by unintentional press of the switch.
In addition, all the switches feature an over-current protection function. When the
current that goes through the switches reaches 30 A, the switches will be
disconnected automatically.
The K1 K4 switches control respectively the four 48 V power supplies on the
output connecting terminal. That is, they can distribute power to the subracks of

II. Lightning protection


z

XLPB
The power distribution box is equipped with two XLPBs to protect the cabinet
against the impact caused by the lightning surge current. Since there are two 48V
DC inputs, two independent XLPBs are equipped.

Lightning protection level


The circuit between 48V1/48V2 and BGND can bear 3 kA differential mode
current surge current without damage. The circuits between 48V1/48V2 and
BGND and those between 48V1/48V2 and PGND can bear 5 kA common mode
surge current without damage (but there may be a few error codes).

III. Monitoring system


1)

Power supply monitoring


z

The XPSU detects the input voltages of the two 48V power supplies and

The XPSU also detects the four independent power outputs. If the branch
switch is disconnected, an alarm will be generated.

If a device on the XLPB is damaged by the lightning surge, the XLPB will
output an optoelectronic isolated signal. The XPSU detects the fault signal on
a realtime basis.

2)

Environment monitoring
The power distribution box provides:
z

Cabinet door control detection

Eight Boolean value interfaces, and independent water sensor

Board temperature detection

Two analog interfaces

Three control port outputs for giving alarm indicator control signals for the
cabinet and enabling the cascading of the alarm indicators of the cabinets
interconnected

One RS232/RS485 serial port for the communication with the intelligent
network equipment in the room

3)

Serial port communication


Operating in the universal master/slave node protocol mode 3, the XPSU
communicates with the CMUX through the active and the standby serial ports, and
reports the power monitoring value and environment monitoring value as well as
alarm signals to the BAM.

4)

Alarm
All the alarm signals are shown by LED indicators, including the XPSU running
indicator and fault alarm indicator. Audible alarms can also be generated by the

The functions of various hardware modules are described as follows:


z

The power supply module provides normal voltages for the analog circuit part and
the digital circuit part of the XPSU.

The Watchdog module provides reset level for the CPU monitoring module and
monitors the operation of the CPU programs.

The A/D conversion module converts the power supply voltage, two channels of
reserved analog quantity (through the DIP switch compatible voltage and
current-type sensor), and the input of the humidity sensor. The input signals enter
the board through the channels of the A/D conversion module and are converted
before they gain access to CPU through the data line.

The Boolean value detect module detects the two channels of isolated inputs from
the XLPB and the eight channels of Boolean values input, such as door control,
smoke, and water.

The serial port communication module is in charge of information exchange with


the CMUX. This module consists of serial-to-parallel conversion chip,
TTL-to-RS232 level conversion chip, and the receiving and transmitting chips for
TTL-to- RS485 level conversion.

The output control module indicates the operating status of the XPSU, generates
buzzer alarm, and displays the operating status of the overall cabinet and
generates related alarms.

The digital logic module processes various digital logics of the input and put
signals.

The CPU monitoring module consists of clock circuits, processing unit, static
random access memory (SRAM), and Flash.

Setting the address bit


Since the monitoring information of both the XPSU and the fan monitoring board
are reported through the CMUX, the XPSU and the fan monitoring board served
by the same CMUX should have different addresses. There are three types of
addresses, namely 0, 1 and 2. The address of the CSWS fan monitoring
board is set to "2" permanently, and the other fan monitoring board is set to "1"
permanently. The XPSU address can be "0" or "2".
Table 21-4 shows the setting of the board address bit of S1.

Table 21-4 Setting of the board address bit of S1


Parameter
***00000

Description
The board address bit of S1 must be set to 0 if there is a CMUX in the same cabinet
housing the power distribution box.
This value is recommended for on-site configuration.

***00010

The board address bit of S1 must be set to 2 if there is no CMUX in the cabinet where
the power distribution box is installed. In such case, the power distribution box should
be connected to adjacent cabinet (equipped with CMUX) through a cascading cable,
through which the information of the XPSU is reported to the adjacent CMUX (that is,
the CMUX in the subrack where the CRMU is inserted).
This configuration is not recommended.

II. Setting of S2
The DIP switch S2 has 8 bits. Only bits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are used. If the XPSU is at the
bus terminal, it should be set to ON for terminal matching. Otherwise, it shall be
"OFF".

III. Setting of S3
The DIP switch S3 (2-bit) is set to On if the external sensor is of a current type; it is set
to Off if the external sensor is of a voltage type. If 1 (see Figure 21-7) is set to On,
the first channel is for circuit analog detection. If 2 is set to On, the second channel is
for circuit analog detection. Otherwise, it is for voltage analog detection.

21.3 XSPB
The XSPB provides power supply interface, communication serial port, and analog and
digital interfaces for the XPSU.

Figure 21-10 Hardware structure of XLPB


The differential mode protection circuit of the XLPB includes two levels, involving two
basic links: discharge and clamp.
As a discharge link, the differential mode frontline protection circuit helps the by-pass
discharge much of the transient current. As a clamping link, the differential mode
backline protection circuit limits the transient over-voltage to the level tolerable by the
equipment.

21-13

Hardware Description Manual


Airbridge cBSC6600 CDMA Base Station Controller

Boards
Chapter 21 Boards in Power Distribution Box

The differential mode frontline protection circuit features a high through-flow. The
differential mode backline protection circuit requires that the selected protection parts
should respond quickly, and feature good non-linear volt-ampere and that the residual
voltage level after clamping should be low. The action of the frontline and backline
protection circuits is coordinated by the decoupling circuit.
The common mode protection circuit features high through-flow and relatively slow
response. The action of the protection circuit is equal to short-circuiting BGND and
PGND so as to achieve the effect of potential equalization.
