• Motorola disclaims all liability whatsoever, implied or express, for any risk of damage, loss
or reduction in system performance arising directly or indirectly out of the failure of the
customer, or any one acting on the customer’s behalf, to abide by the instructions, system
parameters or recommendations made in this manual.
• If this manual was obtained when attending a Motorola training course, it will not be updated
or amended by Motorola. It is intended for TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY. If it was supplied
under normal operational circumstances, to support a major software release, then corrections
will be supplied automatically by Motorola in the form of General Manual Revisions (GMRs).
Purpose
Motorola cellular communications manuals are intended to instruct and assist personnel in the operation,
installation and maintenance of the Motorola cellular infrastructure equipment and ancillary devices. It is
recommended that all personnel engaged in such activities be properly trained by Motorola.
These manuals are not intended to replace the system and equipment training offered by Motorola, although
they can be used to supplement and enhance the knowledge gained through such training.

General information
Feature references
Most of the manuals in the set, of which this manual is part, are revised to accommodate features released
at Motorola General System Releases (GSRn) or GPRS Support Node (GSNn) releases. In these manuals,
new and amended features are tagged to help users to assess the impact on installed networks. The tags are
the appropriate Motorola Roadmap DataBase (RDB) numbers or Research and Development Prioritization
(RDP) numbers. The tags include index references which are listed in the manual Index. The Index includes
the entry feature which is followed by a list of the RDB or RDP numbers for the released features, with
page references and hot links in electronic copy.
The tags have the format: {nnnn} or {nnnnn}
Where: is:
{nnnn} the RDB number
{nnnnn} the RDP number
For a list of Roadmap numbers and the RDB or RDP numbers of the features included in this software
release, refer to the manualSystem Information: GSM Overview (68P02901W01), or to the manual System
Information: GPRS Overview (68P02903W01).
Cross references
Throughout this manual, references are made to external publications, chapter numbers and section names.
The references to external publications are shown in italics, chapter and section name cross references
are emphasised blue in text.
This manual is divided into uniquely identified and numbered chapters that, in turn, are divided into
sections. Sections are not numbered, but are individually named at the top of each page, and are listed in
the table of contents.

General information
Data encryption
In order to avoid electronic eavesdropping, data passing between certain elements in the GSM and GPRS
network is encrypted. In order to comply with the export and import requirements of particular countries,
this encryption occurs at different levels as individually standardised, or may not be present at all in some
parts of the network in which it is normally implemented. The manual set, of which this manual is a part,
covers encryption as if fully implemented. Because the rules differ in individual countries, limitations
on the encryption included in the particular software being delivered, are covered in the Release Notes
that accompany the individual software release.
Text conventions
The following conventions are used in the Motorola cellular infrastructure manuals to represent keyboard
input text, screen output text and special key sequences.
Input
Characters typed in at the keyboard are shown like this.
Output
Messages, prompts, file listings, directories, utilities, and environmental
variables that appear on the screen are shown like this.

Warnings and cautions
The following describes how warnings and cautions are used in this manual and in all manuals of this
Motorola manual set.
Warnings
Definition of warning
A warning is used to alert the reader to possible hazards that could cause loss of life, physical injury, or ill
health. This includes hazards introduced during maintenance, for example, the use of adhesives and solvents,
as well as those inherent in the equipment.
Do not look directly into fibre optic cables or data in/out connectors. Laser
radiation can come from either the data in/out connectors or unterminated fibre
optic cables connected to data in/out connectors.
Observe all warnings during all phases of operation, installation and maintenance of the equipment described
in the Motorola manuals. Failure to comply with these warnings, or with specific warnings elsewhere in
the Motorola manuals, or on the equipment itself, violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the equipment. Motorola assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with
these requirements.
Cautions

Warnings and cautions
Definition of caution
A caution means that there is a possibility of damage to systems, software or individual items of equipment
within a system. However, this presents no danger to personnel.
Do not use test equipment that is beyond its due calibration date; arrange for
calibration to be carried out.

Observe the following specific warnings during all phases of operation, installation and maintenance of
the equipment described in the Motorola manuals:
• Electric shock.
• RF radiation.
• Laser radiation.
• Heavy equipment.
• Parts substitution.
• Battery supplies.
• Lithium batteries.
Failure to comply with these warnings, or with specific warnings elsewhere in the Motorola manuals, violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Motorola assumes no liability for
the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Warning labels
Warnings particularly applicable to the equipment are positioned on the equipment. Personnel working with
or operating Motorola equipment must comply with any warning labels fitted to the equipment. Warning
labels must not be removed, painted over or obscured in any way.
Specific warnings
Specific warnings used throughout the GSM manual set are shown below, and will be incorporated into
procedures as applicable.
These must be observed by all personnel at all times when working with the equipment, as must any other
warnings given in text, in the illustrations and on the equipment.

General warnings
This equipment operates from a potentially hazardous voltage of 230 V a.c. single
phase or 415 V a.c. three phase supply. To achieve isolation of the equipment from
the a.c. supply, the a.c. input isolator must be set to off and locked.
When working with electrical equipment, reference must be made to the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
(UK), or to the relevant electricity at work legislation for the country in which the equipment is used.
Electric shock
Do not touch the victim with your bare hands until the electric circuit is broken.
Switch off. If this is not possible, protect yourself with dry insulating material and
pull or push the victim clear of the conductor.
ALWAYS send for trained first aid or medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
In cases of low voltage electric shock (including public supply voltages), serious injuries and even death,
may result. Direct electrical contact can stun a casualty causing breathing, and even the heart, to stop. It
can also cause skin burns at the points of entry and exit of the current.
In the event of an electric shock it may be necessary to carry out artificial respiration. ALWAYS send for
trained first aid or medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
If the casualty is also suffering from burns, flood the affected area with cold water to cool, until trained
first aid or medical assistance arrives.

Static discharge
68P02902W76-B 13
28 Jul 2004 GMR-02
Devices sensitive to static
Certain metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices embody in their design a thin layer of insulation that is
susceptible to damage from electrostatic charge. Such a charge applied to the leads of the device could
cause irreparable damage.
These charges can be built up on nylon overalls, by friction, by pushing the hands into high insulation packing
material or by use of unearthed soldering irons.
MOS devices are normally despatched from the manufacturers with the leads short circuited together, for
example, by metal foil eyelets, wire strapping, or by inserting the leads into conductive plastic foam. Provided
the leads are short circuited it is safe to handle the device.
In the event of one of these devices having to be replaced, observe the following precautions when handling
the replacement:
• Always wear an earth strap which must be connected to the electrostatic point (ESP) on the
equipment.
• Leave the short circuit on the leads until the last moment. It may be necessary to replace the
conductive foam by a piece of wire to enable the device to be fitted.
• Do not wear outer clothing made of nylon or similar man made material. A cotton overall
is preferable.
• If possible work on an earthed metal surface or anti-static mat. Wipe insulated plastic work
surfaces with an anti-static cloth before starting the operation.
• All metal tools should be used and when not in use they should be placed on an earthed surface.
• Take care when removing components connected to electrostatic sensitive devices. These
components may be providing protection to the device.
When mounted onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), MOS devices are normally less susceptible to electrostatic
damage. However PCBs should be handled with care, preferably by their edges and not by their tracks and
pins, they should be transferred directly from their packing to the equipment (or the other way around) and
never left exposed on the workbench.

Introduction
This chapter provides a general description and specifications of the Base Station System Control (BSSC3)
cabinet.
A BSSC3 cabinet can be configured as:
• A Base Station Controller 2 (BSC2) containing digital hardware modules configured to
control the radio subsystem.
The difference between the BSC2 and RXCDR2 configurations is in the complement of digital modules on
the backplane.
BSSC3 cabinets can be powered by positive earth IPSM2 modules (-48 V or -60 V) or negative earth
EPSM modules (+27 V) supply.
The information in this chapter applies to all three of the above configurations and, unless otherwise indicated,
to GSM, GSM850, extended GSM (EGSM), DCS1800 and PCS1900 systems.

Configuration options
BSC2 configuration
The BSSC3 cabinet configured as a BSC2 contains at least one Base Station Unit 2 (BSU3) shelf assembly.
This assembly is in the lower part of the cabinet; the upper part of the cabinet can contain a second BSU3
configured either as a separate BSC2 or as an expansion of the BSU3 on the lower shelf.
Transcoding can be performed at the BSC2. In this case, the upper part of the cabinet contains a separate
transcoder unit (RXU3) shelf assembly instead of a second BSU3.
The top section of the cabinet contains the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) which consists of a Distribution
Alarm Board (DAB2) and a dc circuit breaker panel.
RXCDR2 configuration
The BSSC3 cabinet configured as an RXCDR2 contains at least one RXU3 shelf assembly, located in the
lower part of the cabinet. A second RXU3 can be located in the upper part of the cabinet.
The top section of the cabinet contains the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) which consists of a Distribution
Alarm Board (DAB2) and a dc circuit breaker panel.
The lower part of the two vertical slot shelves holds 26 full size digital modules in slots numbered L0 to L28.
The upper part of the shelf holds 28 half size digital modules in slots numbered U0 to U28.
There are three compartments at the bottom of the BSU3/RXU3 shelf assembly, with slide-in mountings for
power supply modules. The leftmost compartment is for an optional redundant power supply module.
When configured with EPSM or IPSM power supply modules, a minimum current of 10 A must
be drawn on the 5 V dc supply.

• 7 fuses.
Each signal from the fuse alarms is at a nominal +5 V level and is brought to a TTL high level. Under no
fault conditions, the TTL output is held at a high level. If one or more fuses fail the associated LED and the
DAB2 fuse status LED will be ON, with the TTL output level going low.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 DAB2
Communications
The DAB2 communicates with the master GPROC2 via the serial bus link. The master GPROC2 always
initiates communication, in which all modules respond with status reports on the serial bus.
The DAB2 processes operational failure reports from:
• Ruptured fuses.
The serial bus circuitry is powered by the same +5 V that powers each digital card shelf. This is supplied to
the DAB2 board via the serial link (A and B) cables from the lower digital card cage. The power supplies
that provide this +5 V (as well as +/-12 V) deliver isolated outputs. Thus all devices in the serial bus circuit
have a return that is floating (digital) earth relative to the cabinet (main) earth. However, many of the
signals being alarmed are referenced to cabinet earth.
Power
Mains power is present on the DAB2 connector until power is removed from
the cabinet.
The DAB2 board takes a direct feed from the V in busbar (DAB2 input J1). An in line cartridge fuse F27 is
fitted for protection.
This direct feed can only be used if the cabinet has a +27 V dc input. If the cabinet is powered from a -48/60
V dc supply, the DAB2 automatically switches from being powered by the +27 V dc from the busbar to being
powered from a +27 V dc feed from the lower card cage, via the fan cable loom.
The only changes to the power configuration required are the power supply modules changing from EPSMs to
IPSM2s.

Overview
The Enhanced Power Supply (EPS) system for each BSU3 in a negative earth (+27 V) system consists of
up to three plug-in Enhanced Power Supply Modules (EPSMs). The EPSM can only be used in a negative
earth cabinet.
The EPSM is a switching type dc - dc power converter that converts the cabinet dc input power to the
following dc outputs:
• +5 V (+/-2% at 87.5 A).
The BSU3 or RXU3 backplane connects the outputs of each EPSM in parallel.
When the cabinet is configured with EPSMs, a minimum current of 10A must be drawn on the 5V
line to avoid a low current trip.
When three EPSMs are fitted in the EPS system, they load share as follows:
• Two EPSMs provide sufficient power for a fully equipped BSU3 or RXU3.
When an alarm is generated in an EPSM, the alarm condition sends an alarm message to the master GPROC2
via the serial bus.

EPSM Chapter 2: BSSC3 cabinet description
Functional description
Normal operation
During normal operation, the EPSMs share the load current demand of the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf modules:
• Half of the load current supplied by each EPSM in a two-EPSM system.
• One third of the load current supplied by each EPSM in a three-EPSM system.
Regulated dc power is applied to the backplane to power the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf modules.
Redundancy
Two EPSMs can provide adequate operating power for all modules in a BSU3 or RXU3 shelf. A third
EPSM can be added for redundancy.
When plugged into the backplane, all EPSM power outputs are connected in parallel, so that the EPS system
current capacity is twice that of the individual EPSM; any third EPSM is redundant (n+1).
Monitoring circuits
Parallel output connections allow each EPSM to sense its own output lines for:
• Output voltage regulation.
• Overvoltage protection to shut the EPSM down if the output voltage exceeds 1.2 to 1.3
times the rated output.
• Overcurrent protection to latch the power supply off (after a short delay for large overloads) if
the output current exceeds:
1 1.15 to 1.5 times the full-load rating of the +5 V output.
1 1.15 to 2 times the full-load rating of the +12 V and -12 V outputs.
The BSU3 or RXU3 shelf master GPROC2 also monitors the status of each EPSM, via
a serial alarm link on the backplane, for:
• Overtemperature.

Circuit protection
Additional internal EPSM circuit protection includes:
• Input dc reverse polarity protection to prevent EPSM damage using an input series diode to
block reverse voltages.
• Thermal protection to send an alarm message to the master GPROC2 via the serial port, and
shut the EPSM down, if the EPSM ambient temperature exceeds a safe level.
After an alarm condition has ceased, normal EPSM operation is automatically restored.
Serial link
The serial link carries the following information and flags an alarm if an unexpected state or failure occurs:
• Address.
• Device location:
1 Slot 0 - 2.
• EPSM Revision.
• Alarms:
1 Input fail.
1 Output fail.
1 Overtemperature.

Overview
The integrated power supply (IPS) system for each BSU3 or RXU in a positive earth (-48 V/-60 V) system
consists of up to three plug-in integrated power supply modules (IPSMs). The IPSM can only be used in
positive earth cabinets.
The IPSM is a switching type dc - dc power converter that converts the cabinet dc input power to the
following dc outputs:
• +27.5 V ± 5 % at 45 A (full-load current).
The BSU3 or RXU backplane connects the outputs of each IPSM in parallel.
When the cabinet is configured with IPSMs, a minimum current of 10A must be drawn on the
5.1V line to avoid a low current trip.
When three IPSMs are fitted in the IPS system, they load-share as follows:
• Two IPSMs provide sufficient power for a fully equipped BSU3 or RXU.
An IPSM in an alarm condition sends an alarm message to the GPROC/GPROC2 via the serial bus.

Introduction
The Integrated Power Supply (IPS) system for each BSU3 or RXU3 in a positive earth (-48 V/-60 V) system
consists of up to three plug-in Integrated Power Supply Module 2s (IPSM2s), as seen in Figure 2-10. The
IPSM2 can only be used in positive earth cabinets.
The IPSM2 is a switching type dc to dc power converter that converts the cabinet dc input power to the
following dc outputs:
• +27.5 V +/-5 % at 10 A (full load current).
The +27.5 V output of the IPSM2 is 275 W only, as transceivers are no longer
catered for in the BSSC3 cabinet.
The BSU3 or RXU3 backplane connects the outputs of each IPSM2 in parallel.
When three IPSM2s are fitted in the IPS system, they load share as follows:
• Two IPSM2s provide sufficient power for a fully equipped BSU3 or RXU3.
When an alarm is generated in an IPSM2, the alarm condition sends an alarm message to the master
GPROC2 via the serial bus.

Module front panels Chapter 3: Digital modules
Introduction
This section is a quick reference guide to the status indicators and switches on the front panels of the digital
modules in BSU3 and RXU3 shelves. Subsequent sections in this chapter describe each module.
The reset switch on a module will not return a Disabled or Locked module to service. If the module was
B-U or E-U before the module was reset then it will return to an in-service state either Busy or Enabled.
Once a module is locked disabling the module will have no effect on the status of the module as displayed
via MMI, disabling a module results in isolating the module from the cage. Modules not listed below
have no status indicators or front panel switches.
Table 3-1 gives details of the status indicators found on module front panels, and what given indications mean.

Purpose
The double kiloport switch 2 (DSW2) module is a time division multiplex (TDM), multiple access digital
switch designed to support a non-blocking switching fabric. The DSW2 is compatible with legacy software,
and is interchangeable with the KSW.
The DSW2:
• Performs timeslot interchange for the active TDM highway.
• Communicates with the controlling GPROC2 or GPROC3 via the MCAP bus.
• At an RXCDR2 provides fixed switching for traffic between the BSC2 and MSC.

DSW2 Chapter 3: Digital modules
Timeslot interchange
The primary function of the DSW2 is to switch data from a given timeslot on the active inbound (switchbound)
) TDM highway, to a given timeslot on the active outbound TDM highway. DSW2 switching at the BSC2 is
variable; physical channel mapping on the A interface is performed for each call, and at every handover.
DSW2 switching in an RXU3 shelf is fixed; it provides one-to-one physical mapping between the traffic to
and from the BSC2 and the traffic to and from the MSC.
The DSW2 can be configured to use the following TDM highways, according to requirements:
• Local TDM highway.
Local highway
The Local TDM inbound highway uses the Local Highway 0 port on the DSW2. This port is used for
Highway 0 traffic within the same physical cage as the DSW2.

GMR-02 28 Jul 2004
Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 DSW2
The Remote TDM inbound highway uses the Remote Highway 0 port on the DSW2. This port is used to
extend the switching functions of a local DSW2 to other cages. Since there is no increase in the number
of DSW2s, there is no expansion or increase in the switching capacity. Each remote cage is linked to the
primary cage by a fibre optic cable, via DSW extender modules. In the primary cage a Remote DSW
extender (DSWXR) module interfaces the fibre optic to the Remote TDM Highway. At each remote cage a
Local DSWX module (DSWXL), provides a Local TDM Highway within the cage. An example of a DSW2
extended to a second cage is shown in Figure 3-5.

Highways 1-3 are Expansion inbound TDM highways. These highways allow multiple DSW2s located in
different cages to be configured in parallel, via Expansion DSW extender (DSWXE) modules. Because the
number of DSW2s is increased, the available switching capacity is expanded accordingly. The three highways
enable up to four DSW2s to be connected in this way, including the DSW2 in the primary cage. An example
of three DSW2s connected in parallel is shown in Figure 3-6.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 DSW2
• Dynamic and static patterns generated by the DSP for test purposes.
• Local outbound highway. Used for traffic within the same physical cage as the DSW2. A
12-timeslot delay is introduced on this path to maintain timing alignment with the remote
outbound highway, which is subject to various TDM delays.
Double-rate TDM bus:The maximum outbound TDM highway bandwidth is 131.072 Mbit/s, partitioned into
2048 timeslots. This double rate TDM bus can be used when the DSW2 is configured in extended mode,
which allows the capacity to be shared between cages. Note that the backplane clock frequency is not
changed. Supported channel types include 64, 32, 16 and 8 kbit/s. The DSW2 therefore supports a maximum
of 2048 64kbit/s channels, 4096 32 kbit/s channels, 8192 16kbit/s channels, or 16384 8 kbit/s channels. One
TDM frame can contain any combination of these channels.
Standard-rate TDM bus: The DSW2 also supports a KSW mode of operation, for which the outbound
highway is partitioned into 1024 timeslots to provide a standard rate TDM bus. The potential bandwidth of the
outbound highway is thus halved in this mode of operation.
The usable switching capacity of each DSW2 depends on site hardware and software configurations because
certain modules require a number of ports for their own use. The DSW2 is controlled by the local GPROC2 or
GPROC3 via the MCAP bus.
Three party conference mode is effected by decoding and summing the timeslots of two A-law or two u-law
PCM-encoded channels. The summed data is then re-encoded/compressed, and selected as the data source for
the active outbound highway. A-law or u-law selection is not intended to change on a timeslot basis. The
DSW2 supports any number of three party conference calls, within its maximum channel capacity.

DSW2 Chapter 3: Digital modules
Self-diagnostics
Timeslot interchange: Fixed/dynamic pattern generation is used in conjunction with timeslot monitoring to
provide extensive self-diagnostics for the timeslot interchange section.
DSP: The DSP is monitored by a watchdog timer. The DSP writes to a memory-mapped address that
periodically resets the watchdog timer, ensuring that it does not time out. If the DSP stops running, the
watchdog timer times out and causes the red LED on the front panel to illuminate. An interrupt is also
generated and sent to the GPROC3 via the MCAP bus. If a DSP fails, the TSI section of the DSW2 still
switches data, but no new path connections are implemented. This results in existing calls being held while
the system is reconfigured around the failed DSW2.
Serial interface
The serial interface logic supports the TTY interface. This interface is connected to a dedicated backplane
connector port. This port is a buffered RS232 type. The TTY can be used to control the DSW2, monitor
DSW2 status, and support DSW2 diagnostics.
Slot position
The DSW2 is located in the following slots in a BSU or RXU3 shelf assembly:
• L1 for TDM highway B.

Purpose
The generic clock (GCLK) module generates all the timing reference signals that the BSU3 or RXU3 requires.
The master TDM clock is normally synthesized from a 16.384 MHz +/-0.05 ppm stable reference (temperature
stabilized crystal oscillator) and a 2.048 MHz or 1.544 MHz clock recovered from one of the E1 or T1 lines.
Requirements
The GCLK module fits in slots L3 and L5 in the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf assemblies. The module is two
slots wide and covers L2/L3 and L4/L5.
There must be a GCLK module in slot L5 of all BSU3 and RXU3 shelf assemblies.
A second GCLK module in slot L3 provides n + 1 redundancy.
Mutually redundant GCLKs must reside in the same BSU3 or RXU3.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 GCLK
GCLK description
The GCLK module generates all timing reference signals required by the BSS:
• 16.384 MHz TDM clock.
• 60 ms synchronization reference.
The GCLK is phase-locked to the recovered clock of a selected E1/T1 line from an MSI module. If the
recovered clock signal is lost, and no long term average (LTA) is available upon which to synchronize, then
the GCLK free-runs, providing reference stability better than 0.05 ppm. The LTA will be available for the
GCLK to synchronize as long as phase-lock was achieved for longer than 30 minutes.
The module incorporates self-diagnostics to detect and isolate board faults and to select a redundant board
in the event of module failure. When a redundant GCLK is present, the GCLKs operate in a master/slave
configuration with the slaved outputs synchronized to the master. If an error is detected, the clock control
circuit reverses the master/slave status of the two GCLKs. Fault status is reported to the main processor via
the MCAP bus.
A block diagram of the GCLK is shown in Figure 3-8 at the end of this section.
Reference oscillator
The reference oscillator uses a phase lock loop (PLL) and a frequency multiplier to synthesize 16.384 MHz
from a E1/T1 line. The PLL consists of:
• A digital phase detector.
• A loop filter.
If a fault is detected on the signal from both E1/T1 lines, the oscillator either uses the LTA (if available) or
free runs with stability being maintained by the VCXO.
Reference dividers
The 125 µs, 60 ms, and 6.12 s reference dividers consist of cascaded programmable binary counters to
divide the input signal to the correct output frequency. The reference dividers are synchronized to the
master clock. The output of each reference counter is routed to a multiplexer, which is used to switch the
reference output from the master or the slave GCLK. The output of each reference counter is also routed to
the reference encoder.
Reference encoders
The reference encoder encodes the reference signals together while maintaining phase relationships. The
encoded clock signals are routed via the backplane to a CLKX to be transmitted to other shelves at the site,
via fibre optic cables.

Purpose
The Generic DSP Processor 2 (GDP2) module is a transcoder board that supports Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR)
speech, as well as data transcoding and rate adaption. The board supports 60 traffic channels, which can
be dynamically switched between half rate, full rate and enhanced full rate (EFR) speech. The board can
also be used to replace the GDP in an existing RXU backplane, in which configuration it supports a single
E1 line interface.
The GDP2 supports a redundant DSP block, which is transparently switched in the event of a single DSP
block failure. This significantly increases availability compared to the original GDP board.
The GDP2 module can be used only with systems running GSR7 software or later releases, as this
contains the necessary software support to allow operation.
For a BSC2 the transcoder boards it connects to must all
be GDP2, not XCDR.
The GDP2 module:
• Provides the transcoding interface to the MSC. The GDP2 module is located at the RXCDR2,
or at a BSC2 where transcoding is integrated within the BSC2.
• Interfaces two E1 serial lines to the internal cabinet TDM highway, which is in a parallel format.
• Transcodes 64 kbit/s data from the E1 lines, into 16 kbit/s or 8 kbit/s data., and vice versa.
Each GDP2 supports 60 compressed voice and data channels, using 8 + 1 DSPs. These channels, and the
synchronization and link control signalling channels, can be placed in any of the 1024 channels on the TDM
highway under control of the GPROC3.
Terminology
One wire pair (balanced or unbalanced) equals one E1 serial data stream.
Two E1 serial data streams (transmit and receive) equal one E1.

Architecture
• DSP subsystem.
• E1 Line interface.
• MCAP interface.
• TDM interface.
MCU subsystem
The main component of the processor system is the microcontroller unit (MCU), which
• Controls and interfaces the other major systems on the GDP2 module.
The watchdog timer is periodically strobed by the MCU; an alarm is generated if it is not strobed before a
pre-set timeout.
3-30 68P02902W76-B
GMR-02 28 Jul 2004
Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 GDP2
DSP subsystem
The DSP subsystem consists of 8 identical blocks plus one redundant, each with:
• One 275 MHz DSP processor
• On-board phase-locked loops (PLL) to maintain a clock in the event that the 16.384 clock
input is lost. The PLL is designed to be stable enough to remain within range when the
clock input is restored.
DSP firmware is downloadable. The MCU uses the host port to connect to the parallel bus of all DSPs for
control, monitoring and download pc is nowpurposes. All the ESSI signals to the DSPs are buffered by
tristate devices.
Multiplexer
There is a multiplexer within the serial data formatter. The multiplexer converts data from the DSP subsystem
ESSI format to the digital crosspoint switch, ST Bus Format. This multiplexes four data streams from the
switch into a single datastream for the DSPs. Each DSP receives the same timeslot data . The software
running on the DSP maps which timeslot is to be transcoded by that DSP.
E1 Line interface
• Secondary surge protection from high voltage transients (such as lightning strikes), which may
come down the E1 lines.
The impedance matching and isolation circuits consist of isolation transformers and Zener diodes.
After impedance matching and isolation each E1 line receive signal is input into a line interface unit/framer.,
which performs the clock recovery, data conversion, and framing.
The clock extraction section extracts the E1 clock to which all BSU/RXU3 shelves can be synchronized. The
framer performs frame decoding law CCITT recommendation G.704 for digital multiplex equipment. Traffic
is then routed to the switching system.
The GDP2 provides a loopback from each line input to line output, for E1 link troubleshooting.

GDP2 Chapter 3: Digital modules
A GDP2 module configured for use with an E1 serial line supports CRC-4 error checking. This is set by
default to the on state 0. All associated switches (MSCs) must also have CRC-4 error checking set to the on
state, so allowing communication across the A-interface
To check if the GDP2 board CRC-4 state is set, use the MMS_config_type CM database command.
disp_element MMS_config_type <location>
Refer to Technical Description: BSS Command Reference (68P02901W23) for information on the above
CM database command.
To ensure the correct setting of CRC-4 error checking at the MSC, consult the vendor supplied equipment
manual.
The switching system consists of a digital switch, which performs the following functions:.
• Transmission of E1 line data and TDM data streams.
• Connection between the processor section and the E1 line interface system.
MCAP interface
The MCAP interface system supports two redundant MCAP buses to the GDP2. The GDP2 communicates
with the GPROC3 in the same way as all other full-size modules.
TDM interface
The TDM interface system takes traffic data from the TDM bus and converts it from parallel data to serial
data. The serial data is then sent to the switching system.

The GPROC2 generic processor module provides the processing power to control a BSC or RXCDR.
A GPROC2 cannot be used with software version less than GSR2 and must be used for software
version GSR4 and above.
GPROC2s in a BSU or RXU exchange control signalling in several ways:
• A token ring local area network (LAN) for communications with other GPROC2 boards. The
LAN can link processors in several shelves via fibre optic cable.
• A Motorola cellular advanced processor (MCAP) bus, which extends the processor address,
data and control buses to peripheral modules in the same shelf.
• A serial bus, which communicates alarm information between GPROC2s and half-size
modules. This serial bus extends to the power distribution unit.

Communication
The GPROC2 communicates with other full size modules via the MCAP bus, and with half size modules (and
modules not on the module shelf) via the BSS serial bus.
The LAPD processor and the TDM interface controller communicate via a high speed private bus. The private
bus arbiter is the interface between the MC68LC040 address/data bus and the high speed private bus.
The parallel port controls output signals to the front panel LEDs, and receives input signals (via the register
ports) from the backplane. These contain:
• Shelf ID.
• Slot ID.
• Backplane type.
Memory
The GPROC2 module is equipped with 32 MBytes of DRAM and 1 MByte of EPROM. The EPROM
contains the bootstrap code.

Purpose
The GPROC3 generic processor module provides the processing power to control a BSC, RXCDR or
InCell BTS.
The GPROC3 is designed as a high performance direct replacement for GPROC2s and GPROC1s,
provided GSR6 (Horizon II) + Service Pack 1670.23, or later is installed. This software release
allows for any combination of GPROC types to be installed.
A GPROC3 cannot be used with software versions earlier than GSR6 (Horizon II) + Service
Pack 1670.23.
A GPROC3 in a BSU or RXU exchanges control signalling in several ways:
• A token ring local area network (LAN). The LAN can link processors in several shelves via
fibre optic cable.
• A Motorola cellular advanced processor (MCAP) bus, which extends the processor address,
data and control buses to peripheral modules in the same shelf.
• A serial bus, which communicates alarm information between GPROC3s and half-size
modules. This serial bus extends to the power distribution unit.
Requirements
Each BSU/RXU cage requires at least one GPROC, which may be a GPROC1, a GPROC2 or a GPROC3,
depending on the cage and slot configuration.
A GPROC3 must be fitted in slot L20 or L24 in a BSC.

Communication
The GPROC3 communicates with other full-size modules via the MCAP bus, and with half-size modules (and
modules not on the module shelf) via the BSS serial bus.
The LAPD processor and the TDM interface controller communicate via a high-speed private bus. The private
bus arbiter is the interface between the MC68060 address/data bus and the high-speed private bus.
The parallel port controls output signals to the front panel LEDs, and receives input signals (via the register
ports) from the backplane. These contain:
• Shelf ID.
• Slot ID.
• Backplane type.
Memory
The GPROC3 module is equipped with 128 MBytes of SDRAM and 16 MBytes of flash memory. The flash
memory contains the bootstrap code.
A fully buffered TTY maintenance port is available on the front panel, to which a personal computer
(PC) can be connected. The TTY can be used for monitoring and controlling software when performing
maintenance or troubleshooting.
The maintenance port meets the requirements of the EIA RS232C and ITU-TSS V.24 specifications.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 KSW
Architecture
Refer to the KSW block diagram (Figure 3-17) at the end of this section.
A Motorola MC56001 digital signal processor (DSP) controls the KSW internally. The DSP:
• Executes port connects between the switchbound TDM highway and the outbound TDM
highway.
• Controls the timeslot interchange (TSI) section via the connection RAM control section.
• Processes alarms.
The DSP communicates via the MCAP bus interface logic, the DSP data/address bus, and the serial interface
logic.
Timing reference
The timing reference section generates various clock signals, timeslot counts, and frame counts required by
other sections of the KSW.
The TDM counters section is an offset counter that adds a fixed offset to the master TDM timeslot counter.
The GSM counters section contains four separate counters:
• GSM sub-timeslot counter.
The switchbound TDM highway interface consists of a series of multiplexers that are used to select one
of four switchbound highways (numbered 0 to 3). The DSP controls the switchbound multiplexers via
highway control logic.
Switchbound highway 0 and the outbound highway are split into local and remote parts.
68P02902W76-B 3-51
28 Jul 2004 GMR-02
KSW Chapter 3: Digital modules
Local
The local switchbound highway 0 and local outbound highways are active when the KSW is communicating
with highway interface modules in the same shelf.
Remote
The remote switchbound highway 0 and remote outbound highways are active when the KSW is
communicating with highway interface modules in remote shelves. This effectively extends the TDM bus to
multiple shelves. In the remote case, the KSW sends and receives TDM data to and from a remote KSW
Extender (KSWXR) in the same shelf as the KSW.
The remote KSWXR communicates via fibre optic links with a local type KSWXL in the remote shelf.
Local switchbound highway 0 has a delay circuit which adds a fixed 12 timeslot delay. This delay is equal
to the delay associated with the KSWX extension operation, and keeps the local and remote switchbound
highways in phase.
The modules on the TDM bus are:
• GDP.
• MSI.
• GPROC2.
Expansion switchbound highway 1, 2 and 3 data originates from highway interface modules associated with
other KSWs. These remote highway interface modules send and receive data between their respective
KSWs. Each KSW re-transmits data received on its switchbound highway 0 (local or remote) to other KSWs
via dedicated KSWXE fibre optic links.
Data is received on switchbound highways 1, 2 and 3 of remote KSWs. This architecture results in each KSW
receiving data from all 1024 timeslots of all expansion highways connected to the KSW and retransmitting
that data on the 1024 timeslots associated with its own highway interface modules to the other KSWs.
The DSP can write data to any of the four switchbound highways. This allows known static data patterns to be
inserted into any switchbound timeslot, and data can be looped back to switchbound highway 0 from the TSI
section, enabling self diagnostics. When the KSW is performing self diagnostics, data is compared at two
highway monitors, one before the TSI section and one after the TSI section.
3-52 68P02902W76-B
GMR-02 28 Jul 2004
Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 KSW
The TSI section is the main section of the KSW. It switches data from a given timeslot on one of the four
switchbound TDM highways to a given timeslot on the outbound TDM highway. The TSI section consists of
four independent TSI blocks operating in parallel to support sub-rate switching. Each TSI block switches
16 kbit/s of data.
If a particular timeslot is associated with a 64 kbit/s channel, then one TSI block contains the same path
connection for that timeslot. Conversely, if a timeslot is associated with two 32 kbit/s channels, two TSIs
contain a similar path connection and the other two contain a different path connection. When a timeslot
contains four 16 kbit/s channels, each TSI section has a different path connection.
The connection RAM control is the interface between the DSP and the TSI section. The connection RAM
control isolates the DSP from strict timing constraints associated with the TSI section.
After traffic data leaves the TSIs, it is sent to either the TSI mode multiplexer, which selects full-rate or
sub-rate switching as required, or to the three party conference (TPC) memory section. The TPC memory
operates in real time allowing the KSW to support any number of three party conference calls.
The fixed/dynamic pattern registers can generate fixed patterns and a variety of dynamic patterns that generate
tones, data sequences, or dynamic test patterns.
The outbound selection multiplexer selects the correct source data to be sent to the outbound highway.
Although referred to as a multiplexer, this section does not contain a physical multiplexer. Instead,
multiplexing is implemented by connecting the outputs of all the possible data sources together and selectively
enabling one of these sources during each timeslot.
After data is sent from the outbound selection multiplexer, a parity bit is added to the data before it is placed
on the outbound TDM highway. Output from the outbound multiplexer is sent directly to the remote outbound
highway, but data for the local outbound highway is sent through a delay circuit to keep the remote and local
outbound highways in phase. This delay is 12 timeslots.
68P02902W76-B 3-53
28 Jul 2004 GMR-02
KSW Chapter 3: Digital modules
Highway monitor
• The outbound monitor logic which monitors the output of the outbound selection MUX.
The DSP uses these monitors for monitoring inbound and outbound data on any timeslot. When used in
conjunction with the various DSP controlled data sources and fixed/dynamic pattern selection, these monitors
allow the KSW to perform extensive self diagnostics on the TSI section.
Watchdog timer
The watchdog timer ensures that the DSP is functioning normally. The DSP writes to a memory address
that resets the watchdog timer, ensuring that it does not time out. If the DSP stops running, the watchdog
timer times out and causes the red LED on the front panel to illuminate. An interrupt is also generated and
sent to the GPROC2 via the MCAP bus. If a DSP fails, the TSI section of the KSW still switches data, but
no new path connections are implemented. This results in existing calls being held while the system is
reconfigured around the failed KSW.
Interrupt logic
• Interrupt-B, processes alarms such as clock and reference alarms, and parity alarms.
The serial interface logic supports the TTY interface. This interface is connected to a dedicated backplane
connector port. This port is a buffered RS232 type. The TTY can be used to control the KSW, monitor KSW
operation status, and support KSW diagnostics.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 KSW
KSW switching
The usable switching capacity of each KSW depends on site hardware and software configurations because
certain modules require a number of ports for their own use. The KSW is controlled by the local GPROC2 via
the MCAP bus.
Each KSW can switch connections between 1024 inputs and 1024 outputs. However, total switching capacity
can be expanded by interconnecting up to three additional KSWs via KSWXs.
In this configuration, each KSW has the ability to switch data between 2048
(2 x 1024), 3072 (3 x 1024) or 4096 (4 x 1024) 64 kbit/s input ports and its 1024 outbound ports. Each
KSW has access to all 2, 3 or 4 switchbound highways, although each KSW only drives its own 1024
port outbound TDM highway.
KSW in a BSC2
KSW switching at the BSC2 is variable. Physical channel mapping on the A interface is performed for each
call, and at every handover.
KSW in a RXCDR2
KSW switching in an RXU3 shelf is fixed. It provides one to one physical mapping between the traffic to and
from the BSC2 and the traffic to and from the MSC.

Purpose
The Multiple Serial Interface (MSI) module drives two separate interface lines to and from the TDM bus.
MSI module
The MSI module can drive two European 2.048 Mbit/s (E1) data lines.
One of the E1 lines is referred to as group A, the other E1 line is known as group B.
The E1 lines can come from either:
• A balanced-line interconnect module (BIM3).
The MSI can also extract the clock synchronization from the E1 line data stream.
An RS232 maintenance port, to which a personal computer (PC) can be connected for testing and debugging,
is provided at the top of the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf.
Terminology
One wire pair (balanced or unbalanced) equals one E1 serial data stream.
Two E1 serial data streams (transmit and receive) equal one E1 line.
Requirements
An MSI or GDP must be located in at least one of the BSU3 locations below for BSC2 initialization purposes.
• Shelf 0 slot 16 (Software communicates via either group A or group B)
• Shelf 1 (if second BSU3 in BSC2) slot 16 (Software communicates via group A)
RXU3 initialization uses slot 10 instead of slot 16, and slot 8 instead of slot 14.

MSI Chapter 3: Digital modules
General features
The MSI converts signals from the E1 lines from serial format to the parallel format that the TDM highway
requires, and converts signals transmitted to the E1 lines from parallel to serial. The MSI also provides
frame alignment.
Each serial line can carry the following to and from the active TDM highway in the BSU3:
• One 64 kbit/s channel for synchronization.
These channels can be placed in any of the 1024 channels on the TDM highway under the
control of the GPROC2.
• If transcoding is not integrated with the BSC2, the MSI provides the RXCDR2 to BSC2 and
BSC2 to BTS interfaces.
Transcoded environment
The MSI can support 240 x 16 kbit/s traffic channels in a transcoded environment, as defined by GSM. To
accomplish this, four 16 kbit/s channels are multiplexed into one 64 kbit/s timeslot, as shown in the following
example:
30 64 kbit/s timeslots of a serial data stream
x4 Submultiplexed 16 kbit/s traffic channels
x2 E1 lines
= 240 16 kbit/s traffic channels

MC68000 processor
A Motorola MC68000 processor, operating at 8 MHz, controls:
• The E1 line to TDM interface function.
The processor reports the following to the controlling GPROC2 on the MCAP bus:
• Extracted clock failures.
• Bipolar violations.
• CRC4 errors.
EPROM
The EPROM contains 128 kbytes of bootstrap program code. At power-up the bootstrap program sends a
request message to the GPROC2 to download the MSI operating program into the SRAM. The SRAM also
stores program variables, and can be permanently saved in EEPROM.
Outgoing traffic data is converted from parallel to serial. The serial data is then sent to the E1 line transmitter
which converts it to standard E1 line levels. The E1 line data is then HDB3 and CRC4 encoded. After
encoding, the data is routed to the loopback multiplexer and to a level converter. The level converter converts
from split-phase, TTL level unipolar to bipolar.
Table 3-4 illustrates the E1 line to TDM Interface circuit actions:

Stage Action
1 The system matches impedance and isolates the signal
2 The E1 line receive signal is applied to a level converter
3 The level converter converts the signal from bipolar to split-phase
TTL level unipolar
4 The signal passes to the HDB3 decoder and clock extraction circuit
5 The signal goes through a crosspoint switch for:
• Diagnostic purposes.
• Distance measurements.
The impedance matching circuits consist of isolation transformers and Zener diodes, which:
• Impedance match the two sides of the interface.
• Provide secondary surge protection from high voltage transients, such as lightning strikes,
which may come down the E1 lines.
The "drop and insert" feature allows a timeslot coming in on group A, which is meant for another BTS, to be
routed back out on group B.
Clock extraction
The clock extraction section extracts the E1 clocks, to which the entire site (either BTS or BSC2) can
be synchronized. The two extracted clocks are routed to a multiplexer that selects which clock signal (if
any) is routed to the GCLK.
Frame decoding
The HDB3 and CRC4 decoding section performs frame decoding according to CCITT recommendation
G.704 for digital multiplex equipment.

Purpose
The Generic DSP Processor (GDP) module can be used as an enhanced XCDR, with additional features,
including Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech and uplink/downlink audio volume control. The GDP DSP
firmware is downloadable whereas the XCDR DSP firmware is mask programmed.
The description in the following pages assumes the GDP is being used as an enhanced XCDR.
The GDP module can be used only with systems running GSR3 or later releases, as this contains
the necessary software support to allow operation.
For a BSC which will operate the EFR speech option, all transcoder boards it connects to must be
GDP, not XCDR.
The GDP has two configured types, one for E1 serial line use and one for T1 serial line use. Each
GDP type has a different framer/transceiver with accompanying crystal oscillator, and two
associated resistors. This means that a GDP used for E1 serial line use cannot be used for T1,
and a GDP used for T1 serial line use cannot be used for E1.
The GDP module:
• Provides the transcoding interface to the MSC. The GDP module is located at the RXCDR, or
at a BSC where transcoding is integrated within the BSC.
• Interfaces an E1/T1 serial line to the internal cabinet TDM highway, which is in a parallel
format.
• Transcodes thirty E1(twenty-four T1) 64 kbit/s channels, inserting them as part of 120 E1 (96
T1) compressed voice/data channels, in accordance with the GSM recommendations:
1 Channel zero of each E1 line is reserved for synchronization.
Each GDP supports thirty compressed voice and data channels, using 15 DSPs. These
channels, and the synchronization and link control signalling channels, can be placed in any of
the 1024 channels on the TDM highway under control of the GPROC/GPROC2.

• Secondary surge protection from high voltage transients (such as lightning strikes), which
may come down the E1/T1 lines.
The impedance matching circuit consists of isolation transformers and Zener diodes.
After impedance matching and isolation the E1/T1 line receive signal is applied to a level converter that
converts the signal from bipolar to split-phase TTL level unipolar.
After level conversion the received E1/T1 line data is sent to the clock extraction circuit and a decoder. The
clock extraction section extracts the E1/T1 clock to which all BSU3/RXU shelves can be synchronized.
The decoding section performs frame decoding law CCITT recommendation G.704 for digital multiplex
equipment. Traffic is then routed to the switching system.
A GDP module configured for use with an E1 serial line supports CRC-4 error checking. This is set by default
to the on state 0. All associated switches (MSCs) must also have CRC-4 error checking set to the on state, so

NVM board description Chapter 3: Digital modules
The NVM (Non Volatile Memory) board provides the BSC2 or RXCDR2 with an improved recovery facility
following a total power loss.
Without the NVM board, a total power loss causes configuration data held at the site to be lost. This data is
normally recovered by downloading from the OMC-R once power is restored.
If an NVM board is installed, data is retrieved from the NVM board rather than from the OMC-R during
recovery from a total power loss.
Mechanical design
The NVM board is a full height digital board, designed for installation in the BSU3 cage 0 of a BSC2,
or the RXU3 cage 0 of the RXCDR2.
The PCMCIA cards used with the NVM board are NOT the same type as used in M-Cell
equipment.
The PCMCIA card swap switch is currently not supported in software.

NVM board description Chapter 3: Digital modules
Functional description
Software ascertains if the NVM board is present during RAM initialization of a BSC2 or RXCDR2 site. If
the board is present, software begins loading objects to the NVM board. If the board is not present then the
software continues to check for its existence. A low priority software task is responsible for loading the NVM
board with a copy of the BSS software objects that currently reside on the master GPROC2. The transfer is
achieved via the MCAP bus.
Two synchronized copies of the database are stored. This ensures that if a power outage occurs during loading
to the NVM board, then a usable copy of the database is still available. Only one copy is updated at a time,
and is marked as the current version when the update is complete.
The object list and the database on the NVM board and the master GPROC2 are audited at regular intervals. If
any differences between these objects on the NVM board and the master GPROC2 are detected, the NVM
board is updated automatically from the master GPROC2.
During ROM initialization, the NVM board is used as a BSS software source only if all GPROC2s at the
site have no BSS software (for example, after restoration of power following a power failure). If the NVM
board is not present, or fails during BSS software crossload to the master GPROC2, ROM initialization
continues as normal.
The NVM board can only be used with systems running GSR5 or later releases. These releases
contain the necessary software support.
Object header information of the objects stored on the NVM board can be viewed using the nvm objects
EMON command from an LMT at the master GPROC2.
Table 3-6 shows the possible output string results of using the above EMON command, depending on the
configuration of the BSU3 or RXU3 cage.

Purpose
Laser radiation could be emitted when fibre optic cables are disconnected. Do not
look directly into beams, with or without the use of any optical aids. Radiation can
come from either the data in/out connectors or unterminated fibre optic cables
connected to data in/out connectors.
The clock extender (CLKX) module optically distributes the clock and reference signals generated by the
GCLK in the parent shelf to all other shelves at a site.
The extended clock signals are received by a KSWXL in the remote BSU/RXU3.
Requirements
The CLKX module is fitted in slots U2 to U7 of the BSU or RXU3 shelf assembly.
A maximum of six remote/extended shelves can be supported.
In a multishelf site, the shelf containing the GCLK must also receive its clocks via a CLKX and a KSWXL
to maintain synchronization integrity.
Fibre optic cables extending clock reference signals, from the parent shelf to all other shelves at a site, must be
of the same length to maintain site synchronization integrity.

Purpose
The DSWX uses an LED as the fibre optic light source, not a laser. The DSWX fibre
optics are therefore not hazardous. Since other modules in the cabinet may emit
hazardous laser radiation when fibre optic cables are disconnected, to eliminate
the possibility of mistakes do not look directly into any beams with or without the
use of optical aids. Radiation can come from either the data in/out connectors or
unterminated fibre optic cables connected to data in/out connectors.
The double kiloport switch extender (DSWX) module extends the 1024/2048 ports of a KSW/DSW2
respectively, in one BSU or RXU type cage to the TDM highways in another BSU or RXU type cage. It is
used when the number of required peripherals exceeds the capacity of a BSU or RXU shelf.
• A DSWX in expansion mode (DSWXE) connects the KSW/DSW2 to the KSW/DSW2 in a
another BSU or RXU type cage.
• A DSWX in remote transmit mode (DSWXR) accepts the highway data from a KSW/DSW2
and sends it to a local receiver.
• A DSWX in local receive mode (DSWXL) accepts the highway data and drives the TDM bus in
the local BSU or RXU, and also provides a clock reference in multishelf configurations.
Although a KSW/DSW2 is located in a particular BSU/RXU, it is logically connected to the TDM bus in that
BSU/RXU and to the TDM buses in up to 13 other shelves, which it can be driving. For each BSU or RXU
that a KSW/DSW2 is driving, two KSWXs/DSWXs are required; one acting as a remote transmitter attached
to the KSW/DSW2, the other as a local receiver attached to the TDM highway in the remote shelf.

DSWX Chapter 3: Digital modules
Brief description
The DSWX is a multi-function module responsible for optically transmitting and receiving all TDM bus
information between shelves, and for distributing the TDM bus information and TDM clock and reference
pulses in the BSS shelves.
The DSWX is required for all installations if it is used for clock distribution. In a BSSC3 installation using
more than one cabinet, it also extends the 1024 ports of a KSW/DSW2 to other shelves and/or interconnects
up to four KSW/DSW2 modules via fibre optic cable. In a TDM switch highway extended between two
module shelves, a KSWX/DSWX module is required in each shelf.
There are three modes in which the DSWX may operate. These modes are dependent on where in the shelf the
DSWX module is placed. The three modes are:
Expansion (DSWXE)
In a BSSC3 installation, expands the standard or double rate TDM bus between up to four KSW/DSW2
respectively to expand switching capacity. DSWXE modules are optically connected to other DSWXE modules.
Remote (DSWXR)
In a BSSC3 installation, extends the standard or double rate TDM bus to a shelf with no KSW/DSW2. This
allows a KSW/DSW2 to switch data to and from highway interface modules (MSIs) in a shelf with no
KSW/DSW2. DSWXR modules are optically connected to DSWXL modules.
Local (DSWXL)
The DSWXL distributes the TDM bus within a shelf and this is received optically from a DSWXR/KSWXR
in another shelf, and distributes clock and reference signals received from a CLKX. DSWXL modules are
optically connected to CLKX modules and can also be connected to DSWXR/KSWXR modules.

• A KSWX in local receive mode (KSWXL) accepts the highway data and drives the TDM bus in
the local BSU3 or RXU3, and also provides a clock reference in multishelf configurations.
Although a KSW is located in a particular BSU3/RXU3, it is logically connected to the TDM bus in that
BSU3/RXU and to the TDM buses in up to 13 other shelves, which it can be driving. For each BSU3 or
RXU3 that a KSW is driving, two KSWXs are required; one acting as a remote transmitter attached to the
KSW, the other as a local receiver attached to the TDM highway in the remote shelf.

The KSWX is fitted in slots U0 to U9 and slots U21 to U28 of the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf assembly, with the
following limitations:
• KSWXR must be fitted in slots U2 to U6 and U24 to U28.
The fibre optic cables used to extend/expand the TDM highway from one BSU3/RXU3 to another

KSWX Chapter 3: Digital modules
Brief description
The KSWX is a multi-function module responsible for optically transmitting all TDM bus information
between shelves, and for distributing the TDM bus information and TDM clock and reference pulses in
the BSS shelves.
The KSWX is required when a site has more than one cabinet. It extends the 1024 ports of a KSW to other
shelves and/or interconnects up to four KSW modules via fibre optic cable. In a TDM switch highway
extended between two module shelves, a KSWX module is required in each shelf.
There are three modes in which the KSWX may operate. These modes are dependent on where in the shelf the
KSWX module is placed. The three modes are:
Expansion (KSWXE)
Expands the TDM bus between up to four KSW to expand switching capacity. KSWXE modules are optically
connected to other KSWXE modules.
Remote (KSWXR)
Extends the TDM bus to a shelf with no KSW/TSW. This allows a KSW to switch data to and from highway
interface modules (MSIs) in a shelf with no KSW. KSWXR modules are optically connected to KSWXL
modules.
Local (KSWXL)
The KSWXL distributes the TDM bus within a shelf and this is received optically from a KSWXR in another
shelf, and distributes clock and reference signals received from a CLKX. KSWXL modules are optically
connected to CLKX modules and can also be connected to KSWXR modules.

Purpose
Possible laser radiation when fibre optic cables are disconnected. Do not look
directly into beams with or without the use of any optical aids. Radiation can
come from either the data in/out connectors or unterminated cables connected to
data in/out connectors.
Two local area network extender (LANX) modules are required for each BSU3 or RXU3 shelf, one for
MCAP bus A and one for MCAP bus B. The LANX:
• Connects one of the LAN interfaces of each GPROC2 in a BSU3 or RXU3 shelf to the local
shelf token ring LAN via the shelf backplane.
Shelf to shelf extension is via a LANX module in each shelf, interconnected with fibre optic cabling.
The LANX supports up to eight GPROC2s on the local LAN in one BSU3 or RXU3 shelf.
Requirements
LANX modules must be fitted in slots U19 and U20 of the BSU3 or RXU3 shelf assembly at all times.
A sixteen position (0 to F hex) rotary switch on the LANX module sets the BSU3 or RXU3 LAN address
(shelf ID number).

LANX Chapter 3: Digital modules
LANX description
And so on until all GPROC2s in the shelf have received the LAN data.
The LAN data received back from the last GPROC2 in the shelf is sent via fibre optics to the next shelf (if
LAN extension is used). If a GPROC2 is not present in the shelf or has failed, the LANX bypasses it and
passes the LAN data to the next GPROC2.
Each GPROC2 using the LANX uses the following signals to route LAN data:
• LAN DATA IN.
• INSERT.
GPROC2 present
When the GPROC2 is present and operating with no faults, the INSERT line is logic 1, causing LANX
multiplexers to switch the GPROC2 signals as follows:
• LAN DATA OUT signal of this GPROC2 is switched to the LAN DATA IN signal of the next
GPROC2 slot. In the case of shelf extension, the LAN DATA OUT signal of GPROC2 7 is
switched to the fibre optic transmitter stage.
• LAN DATA OUT signal from the previous GPROC2 slot is switched to the LAN DATA IN
signal of this GPROC2. In the case of shelf extension, the signal from the fibre optic receiver
stage is switched to the LAN DATA IN signal of GPROC2 0.
3-90 68P02902W76-B
GMR-02 28 Jul 2004
Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 LANX
• LAN DATA OUT signal of the previous GPROC2 is switched to the LAN DATA IN signal of
the next GPROC2.
This removes the GPROC2 from the LAN ring, and subsequent LAN data by-passes the GPROC2.
In configurations of more than one shelf, the LANX allows the local LAN data to be extended to another shelf
via optical fibre connected to a LANX in the other shelf.
Any of the GPROC2s in the shelf controls local LAN data switching between shelves. Control is via the
serial bus connected to the LANX signal, LAN LOCAL/EXTERNAL.
Logic 1
A logic 1 on the LAN LOCAL/EXTERNAL line causes multiplexers on the LANX to switch signals
as follows:
• LAN DATA IN signal of GPROC2 7 is switched to the fibre optic transmitter stage. The optical
transmitter provides a Tx data signal, consisting of the local LAN data of this shelf, which
is transmitted via fibre optic to a LANX in another shelf.
• Rx data signal from the fibre optic receiver stage is switched to the LAN DATA OUT signal of
GPROC2 0.
Logic 0
A logic 0 on the LAN LOCAL/EXTERNAL line causes multiplexers on the LANX to switch signals from
LAN DATA IN signal of GPROC2 7 is switched to the LAN DATA OUT signal of GPROC2 0.
This by-passes the LANX fibre optic transmitter and receiver stages consequently disabling local LAN
extension to another shelf.
Power loss
If the local LANX loses dc power, the Rx data signal from the fibre optic receiver stage is switched (looped
back) to the optical transmitter, providing a Tx data signal via fibre optic to the LANX in another shelf.
68P02902W76-B 3-91
28 Jul 2004 GMR-02
LANX Chapter 3: Digital modules
Bus arbiter
The LANX bus arbiter decides which GPROC2 is allowed to write data to the MCAP bus via the LAN
DATA IN line. Each GPROC2, 0 to 7, can assert its respective BUS REQUEST line. The bus arbiter
starts by monitoring GPROC2 0 slot.
If GPROC2 0 has an active BUS REQUEST line, the bus arbiter asserts the GPROC2 0 BUS GRANT line.
GPROC2 0 seizes the MCAP bus and writes data to the bus. When GPROC2 0 has finished writing data to the
MCAP bus, it deactivates the BUS REQUEST line. This frees the bus and the bus arbiter activates the BUS
GRANT line of the next higher numbered GPROC2 with an active BUS REQUEST line.
Redundant LAN
If the redundant GPROC2 LAN interface is used, a redundant LANX is required. Each LANX has two
serial bus interfaces for communications with the GPROC2. The selection of which LAN interface is to be
used is determined by the GPROC2.
Shelf ID
The shelf ID is a unique hexadecimal number assigned to each BSU3 or RXU3 shelf. The LANX is fitted with
a 16-position (hexadecimal encoded) rotary switch, which defines the shelf ID number of the shelf containing
the LANX. The shelf ID is read by the GPROC2 via the serial bus interface. The ID number is used by the
BSS software when configuring the BSU3 or RXU3.
No two shelves at a site can have the same shelf ID. When a redundant LANX is present in a shelf, it must
have the same ID number as the primary LANX.
The following rules apply:
• A BSU3 shelf in a BSC2 is numbered 0 to D (hexadecimal).
Front panel
• Tx fibre optic output connector. This connects to the Rx fibre optic input of a LANX
in another shelf.

Performing a physical inspection Chapter 5: Routine maintenance
General information
• Operate:
1 Relative humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing.
Equipment cabinets and most modules supplied by Motorola are protected by a painted finish. The surfaces of
the cabinets must be adequately protected from accidental damage at all times.
An Annual physical inspection checklist is supplied later in this chapter (see Table 5-2).
Safety
Exhaust and ventilation vents are not to be obscured by installation of cabinets, particular care should be taken
not to divert or restrict air conditioning airflow to operating equipment and any equipment present where the
installation in progress may interfere or hamper the airflow or generate adverse particulate matter.
Installation of any equipment must minimise the risk of personal injury, i.e. burrs removed, cable tie excess
tails cut flush, no loose cables, stable and secure cabinets and racks, no exposed conductors etc.
Protective blanks, bungs and shields should be complete and in position at all times other than necessary
for maintenance/installation.
5-6 68P02902W76-B
GMR-02 28 Jul 2004
Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 Performing a physical inspection
Cable tray
The cable tray is to be of suitable size and specification for its intended purpose. There should be sufficient
free space on the tray to allow cables to flow around corners without kinks or excessive bunching of the
runs. Correct fixtures and fittings shall be used as per manufacturers’ recommendations and as supplied by
Motorola. Under floor or wall tray is to be secured at a maximum of 1.5 metre intervals. The cable tray is
to be earthed to the main earth bar using a single earth cable and each section of tray is to be bonded to its
neighbour using the correct bonding leads. End plates and blanks shall be used when cable tray ends are not to
a terminated by a wall fixing.
Having equipment plumb and square increases the stability of units and reflects the amount of care that has
gone into planning the installation. Spirit levels and plumb lines or similar tools should be used throughout.
This directly demonstrates the quality and workmanship of the installation teams.
Power system
All exposed terminals should be covered using adequate insulation materials, that is, heatshrink or blanks.
Equipment racks and stacks should be securely bolted to the floor and if necessary equipment racks should
be top supported.
All conductor surfaces, that is, busbars, terminals, etc, should be protected against corrosion by the application
of an anti-oxidant compound.
Where a hazard to health exists, whether in the distribution, generation or storage stages of the power system,
it is to be clearly labelled as such. These warning labels should be located at the hazard point and on all access
doors into any equipment room where such a hazard is present.
Power system distribution interconnections should be made using stainless steel fixings. The use of any other
fixing will introduce corrosion and reduce the efficiency and life of the system.
Distribution busbars and cables should be clearly labelled at both ends with the correct colour coding and
circuit identification.
Each circuit breaker must be of the correct rating and must be clearly labelled to indicate the equipment
protected.
Cabling
All cables must be of the correct size and specification for their intended use, and, following installation,
should conform to IEC7671 or relevant local regulations.
Earthing
Earthing must be completed in accordance with Motorola document 68P81150E62 Earthing Guide-lines.

Introduction to FRU replacement procedures Chapter 6: FRU replacement procedures
Purpose
This chapter contains procedures for replacing various components within the BSSC3 cabinets.
Description
The OMC-R can often diagnose problems at the BSS site. The OMC-R:
• Receives alarms and statistics from the system.
• Uses MMI command to try to further diagnose and possibly repair the system.
Sometimes the only possible way to fix the problem is to send field personnel to the BSS site to replace
a component in the cabinet.
As the OMC-R tries to diagnose the cause of the problems at the site, it may also be able to identify the
specific component that needs replacement. In these cases further diagnosis and testing may be unnecessary;
all that is required is to replace the component identified by the OMC-R.
The rest of this chapter contains instructions for replacing:
• The individual full size digital boards.
Chapter structure
The replacement procedures for the digital modules are listed alphabetically, by device name (for example,
CLKX, or GPROC2).
If there are different procedures for replacing a redundant device and a similar non-redundant device (such
as redundant and non-redundant CLKX modules) the instructions for replacing the redundant device
are given first.

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 Interface board replacement
Introduction
This section gives instructions for removing and replacing a Balanced line Interconnect Module 2 (BIM2) or
a Coaxial Interface Module (CIM). Since the procedure for both boards is the same, this section refers to
either board as an "interface board".
All channel traffic associated with an interface board is lost during the replacement
procedure. If only one 2.048 Mbit/s link is affected by an interface board fault,
replacement of the interface board should be performed during a period of low
traffic so as not to interrupt service on the other 2.048 Mbit/s links connected to
the interface board.

2. Connect the cable to the input port of the frequency counter and the jack plug end to the front
panel of the GCLK 16.384 MHz output and earth respectively.
3. Using a non-ferrous tuning tool, adjust the potentiometer labelled FREQ ADJUST on the
GCLK to 16.384 MHz. The GSM specified tolerance is +/- 0.8 Hz, although it is desirable
(and should be possible) to adjust the frequency more accurately than this. This reads as
16.384 000 00 on the frequency counter. Adjusting the potentiometer clockwise increases
the frequency and anti-clockwise decreases the frequency.
4. Repeat Initial preparation Step 7 to GCLK calibration Step 3 if the other GCLK is to be
calibrated.

Overview
This section applies to replacing both GPROC2 and GPROC3 boards. In the text, for GPROC3,
read GPROC2 as appropriate.
This section provides the procedure for replacing redundant and non-redundant General Processor (GPROC3)
boards.
If the processing capability of a GPROC3 in a redundant system fails, the redundant GPROC3 should be

Service Manual - BSC2/RXCDR2 Replacing a bus terminator card (BTC)
Overview
If AMR hardware is installed, throughout this section read KSW as DSW2, where appropriate.
There are only two bus terminator cards (BTC) fitted in a shelf. There are no redundant BTCs to come into
service when a BTC is removed. However, a BTC can be fitted into the KSW cards position, which is
adjacent to the faulty BTC, to maintain the bus. Consequently BTC replacement procedures are split into two
groups: non-redundant KSWs and redundant KSWs.
These procedures require authorization or special parts from Motorola. The replaceable modules are not part
of standard replacement kit.
Contact the local Motorola office BEFORE attempting to replace this module.

Replacing the digital cage Chapter 7: Non FRU replacement procedures
The following tools and equipment are necessary to remove and replace the backplane:
• Torx drivers.
• Antistatic mat.
• Antistatic bags, or other containers suitable for storing digital boards, in quantities sufficient to
store all the boards in the cages(s).
The digital cage is very reliable. Replacement is only necessary in certain limited circumstances.
Therefore, the Customer Network Resolution Centre (CNRC) Swindon must issue a Service Request
(SR) before Motorola will accept a cage or backplane for return. The SR shows that CNRC agreed to
the backplane replacement.
Do not attempt to remove or replace a cage until CNRC authorizes such action.
Procedure
Follow these steps to obtain an SR number:
1. Call the CNRC on +44 (0)1793 565444.
2. Describe the problem to the CNRC representative, and explain why cage replacement
is indicated.
Be prepared to describe:
1 What alarms/events/SWFMs accompanied the problem.
1 What diagnostic actions , if any, were taken, and the result of those actions.
1 What repair actions, if any, were taken, and the result of those actions.

CNRC review
The CNRC will review the problem and the steps taken so far. Depending on this review, the CNRC may
either:
• Suggest further tests or procedures before authorizing the digital cage replacement.
Do not attempt to remove or replace a cage until CNRC authorizes such action.
• Quote the SR number, in addition to the normal returns number, in any communications
with Motorola.
Motorola will not accept returned digital cages without CNRC authorization.
Overview
This section contains three separate procedures:
• Preparing the cabinet explains how to set up the cabinet so that it is safe to work on the
digital cage.
• Disassembling the cage explains how to take the digital cage apart.
• Removing the cage explains how to take the digital cage out of the cabinet.

Replacing the digital cage Chapter 7: Non FRU replacement procedures
If both digital cages in a BSSC3 cabinet require replacement, proceed with Step 2.
If only one digital cage of a BSSC3 cabinet requires backplane replacement, leave the power
connected to the other, and proceed with Disassembling the cage.
Disabling one digital cage lets call processing continue, providing the second digital cage is
independent of the first. However, it also means dc power is still present in the cabinet.
