Only 2 boards type (SMX2 and EPB2)

© Ericsson AB 2019 | WCDMA RAN System | LZU1082688 R2A | Figure 1-4

SMXB Characteristics
-2 slots wide
-2 boards per subrack
-It has one Ethernet switch for system internal control plane
-It has dedicated synchronization reference input ports
that can be a 2048 kHz or a 10MHz reference.
-It can additionally have a GPS antenna giving a 1PPS (pulse per second)
signal as synchronization reference.

SMXB Functionalities
The board is responsible for:
— Distribution of all control and user plane node internal and external traffic
— System clock distribution
— IP packet forwarding for internal and external traffic
Works in pair for 1+1 redundancy
Occupies two slots (1-2 and 27-28)
Minimum power consumption 134 W
Maximum power consumption 156 W

EPB2 Characteristics
Three times more powerful
1 Main Processor T4240
1 Device Processor T4240
T4240 has 12 cores with 2 hardware
threads each
24 GB per processor
SMX combines SCX, CMX
— Only L3 external interface
— Single subrack: eliminates
 “Inter subrack links”

EPB2 Functionalities
High capacity and power efficient Evo processor board
Used for various tasks:
— Control and user plane
— SS7 signaling
— O&M termination
Implements IP and Ethernet layer functions:
— Ethernet, VLAN and IP layer termination
— Performance and Fault Management
Prepared for advanced power saving mechanisms
Maximum power consumption 120 W

 IP Configuration for External Interfaces

EvoC 8300/RNC

X MSC-S SCTP FE in EvoC 8300 is configured as two non-

RNC Iu/Iur Iu and Iur Control Plane robust (2+0) SCTE FEs, one on each EPB_C1
Iu-CS SGSN board.

Iub Control Plane is configured by defining SCTP-

Iub Control Plane
Ip connectivity related MOs on EPB2.

Configure the Iu-PS user plane by creating Iu-PS

Iu-PS User Plane on both processors of EPB_Blade_A, and on
Iu/Mur COM. INF secondary processor of EPB_C1.

X The same IpInterface, IpAccessHostEt,

IpAccessHostPool instances can be used for both
Evo-C Iub/Mur
8300 Iu-CS and Iur User Plane the Iu-CS and Iur unless different

R
Vlans/subnetworks are required to separate the
Ip connectivity Mub/Mur
planes.
O&M RANAP/RNSAP/SCCP Distributed to the blades
Router

Iub/Mub Each subnetwork requires a separate VLAN.

Iub/Mub
Each external link requires two VLANs:
Radio Node Radio Node •Node-internal VLAN: between EPB2 and SMXB
•Node-external VLAN: for external links on the SMXB

EVO-C 8300 IP Configuration on EPB Blade

The IP Configuration and number of IP Hosts needed on EPB blades can vary
depending on traffic separation. But the IP configuration on all EPB blades in a
node should be identical.

A typical configuration (used in the following examples) would be:

IuPS User Plane in one VLAN

IuCS User Plane and Iur User Plane in one VLAN

Iub Control Plane and Iub User Plane in same VLAN
