Functions and Types of SM
 Key Points
1. The independent switching function of SM.
2. SM may act as a single-module office, which is also called stand-alone office.
SM can provide intra-module call connections with its independent switching

functions. SM, together with AM/CM, implements the inter-module call connections.
SM also provides such functions as distributed database management, call processing
and maintenance & operation. Users can perform local maintenance at the SM side
through the serial port rather than at the side of the AM/CM.
SM is the core of the C&C08 digital SPC switch that provides various service
interfaces. According to the interfaces provided, SM can be classified into User
Switching Module (USM), Trunk Switching Module (TSM) and User Trunk Module
(UTM).
USM provides only the user interface. TSM provides only the trunk interface. UTM
provides both user and trunk interfaces.
USM can not be used as a single module office, but UTM or TSM can do. When TSM
serves as a single module office, it can only act as the tandem office.
When SM is used as a single module office, it communicates directly with the BAM
through the HDLC interface on the motherboard of the main control frame. When SM
is used as one of the multi-module office, it communicates indirectly with the BAM
through the AM/CM via either the optical fiber or the coaxial cable.
The C&C08 system also has multiple remote modules known as RSM and RSA.

Typical Configuration of SM
 Key Points
1. Racks and frames:
Maximum number of racks in one SM: 8
Each rack (or cabinet elsewhere) has 6 frames
2. Numbering of racks and frames.
One SM can have a maximum number of 8 racks that are numbered in the whole
exchange office. Rack 0 is fixed to Module 0 (AM/CM). The numbering of SM starts
from 1, and the numbering of racks also starts from 1. When it is a single module
office, the SM number is 1, and its racks are numbered from 1.
Types of SM frames: main control frame(MCB), clock frame(CKB), SUBSCRIBER

FRAME, DT frame(DTB), AT frame and RSA interface frame. The main control
frame occupies two frames; when SM is used as a single module office, it needs a
BAM frame if the built-in administration is applied.
One rack has 6 frames, and SM can have at most 48 frames. The frames are uniformly
numbered in the module, ranging from 0~47, from bottom to top , from near to far.
The rack containing the main control frame is called the main rack. Each SM has only
one main frame, the other racks are called subsidiary racks.
The main rack must have a main control frame, and other frames in the main rack will
have their configuration according to the module type and requirements. In a multi-
module office, the SMs do not have the clock frame and BAM frame; but in a single
module office, they have the clock and BAM frames.
OSB1103-3
The subsidiary racks have only the subscriber frames or RSA interface frames (if
there are RSA subscribers).
The rack composition differs as the modules are of different types:
 The USM in a multi-module office has subsidiary racks.
 The UTM in both multi-module office and single module office has subsidiary
racks.
 The TSM in both multi-module office and single module office has only a main
rack, and does not have a subsidiary rack.
The main racks of the three types (USM, TSM, UTM) are not completely the same.
Their slight difference lies in the frame type and frame location.
2.1 USM Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-1, when a USM is fully configured, it has 4 racks (1 main
rack+3 subsidiary racks), 22 subscriber frames, and a maximum capacity of 6688
ASL/3344DSL (22304 ASL/DSL). Each subscriber frame has 304ASLs/152 DSLs
(ASL means analog subscriber line while DSL means digital subscriber line).
If there are RSA subscribers, please replace the subscriber frames with the RSA
interface frames.

2.2 TSM Standard Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-2, when it is a standard TSM configuration, the TSM composes
of 1 rack (main rack) that has 2 DT frames with 24 DTF boards. Each frame has a full
configuration of 16 DTF boards and each DTF has 60 digital trunks(DT), so the full
capacity is 1440 DTs(2460).
If the analog trunks are needed, we can just replace the DT frames or the empty
frames with the analog trunk frames.

(1 main rack+3 subsidiary racks), 16 subscriber frames and 1 DT frame (with 8 DTF
boards), and a capacity of 4864 ASL/480DT.
If the analog trunks are needed, we can just replace the empty frames in the main rack
with the analog trunk frames. If there are RSA subscribers, replace the subscriber

2.4 TSM Single Module Office (Tandem Office)

Standard Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-4, when a TSM single module office (tandem office) is at
standard configuration, it is constituted of 1 rack in which there are 2 DT frames . The
DT frames have 32DTF cards(boards) for a capacity of 1920DT(32 * 60DT) .If the
analog trunks are needed, replace the DT frames with the analog trunk frames.
When SM acts as a single module office, it will not extract clock signal from the
AM/CM, but from its own clock frame, which extracts from the higher office through
OSB1103-6
the digital trunk. When the clock of the higher office is not in compliance with the
requirements, the clock frame can work in the free oscillatory mode.
When acting as a single module office, SM needs the BAM frame.

Description of Frames and Boards
 Key Points
1. Frames of SM.
2. Functions of the important circuit boards: MPU, EMA, NOD, SIG, BNET, LAP,
MC2, OPT, ASL, DRV, TSS, DTF, etc.
3. MPU switch-setting and effect.
SM frames are of the following types: main control frame, clock frame,
SUBSCRIBER FRAME, DT (digital trunk) frame, AT (analog trunk) frame and RSA
interface frame.
SM boards are of various types. Based on their function and role , they are classified
into power supply board, communication board, network board, subscriber board,
trunk board, signaling board, clock board and testing board. Each type has the
following cards(boards)
 Power supply board: PWC, PWX
 Control board: MPU, EMA
 Communication board: NOD, TCI, ALM, MC2, OPT
 Network board: BNETA, CKV
 Subscriber board: ASL, DSL, DCN, AVM, DRV
 Trunk board: DTF, AT, TKD, CT0
 Signaling board: SIG, MFC, DTR, NO7, LAP, MEM
 Clock board: CKS; SLT, CK2, CK3
 Testing board: TSS, TST
Among the communication boards, the NOD, TCI and ALM are for intra-module
communication, and MC2 and OPT are for inter-module communication.
OSB1103-10
In each SM, there are a number of boards which cover more than 1 slot each (e.g.
CK3, PWC and PWX occupy 2 slots each, and CK2 cover 4 slots), and which should
be inserted into the right slots.
3.1 Main Control Frame
The SM main control frame is the control center and voice channel center, responsible
for the SM management and connection control. It occupies two frames, and its full
configuration is shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 SM main control frame
For different types of SMs, the boards in the main control frame are different:
 When used as a module office, SM needs MC2 board and OPT board; when used
as a single module office, the SM does not need MC2 and OPT boards.
 When SM is used as a module office, the USM does not need such signaling
boards as MFC, NO7 and LAP; the TSM does not need SIG and TCI boards; and the
UTM can have all the boards it needs.
3.1.1 PWC
OSB1103-11
PWC is the secondary power supply converter board, with -48V DC input and
+5V/20A DC output. It supplies electricity to the main control frame, clock frame and
DT frame. With a stand-alone 12V auxiliary steady voltage power supply, it supplies
electricity specially to the control loop and alarm loop.
There are altogether 4 PWC slots, usually holding 4 PWC boards. The 4 PWC boards
are in mutual hot backup. Each board is able to supply electrical power to two frames.
The primary power supply handles the conversion from AC 220V to DC -48V, while
the secondary power supply handles the conversion from -48V to +/-5V.
There are 2 switches on the side of a PWC board, one is the -48V input switch
ON/OFF, the other is the alarm tone switch (ALM).
Meanings of the indicator lights on the PWC board:

VBO Yellow 5V B module indicator light, on when in normal condition.
FAIL Yellow Fault alarm indicator light, off in normal conditions.
3.1.2 MPU
MPU is the main processing unit. The two MPU boards are in hot backup, one in the
upper frame, and the other in the lower frame. The MPU in the upper frame is called
MPU-A, and the MPU in the lower frame is called MPU-B. Usually, the MPU in the
upper frame (MPU-A) is the active one.
MPU is the central processing unit, responsible for controlling different kinds of SM
equipment. It uses the high grade CPU to process the report information of the
module, to control the actions of each node and to complete the switching function.
MPU functions are as follows:
 Directly control the equipment in the main control frame through the bus or
mailbox;
 Receive the subscriber and trunk state through the node on the NOD board, and
send commands to them;
OSB1103-12
 Control the sending of tone signals and voice signals by the SIG board according
to the subscriber state;
 Control the receiving and sending of MFC signals by the MFC board according to
the state of the local users and trunks;
 Control the connection handled by the NET board;
 Communicate with AM/CM and other SMs through MC2 in the mailbox mode;
 Communicate with the O&M system through the HDLC synchronous serial port,
and load the MPU software through such port.
 Use the EMA to switch between active and standby and to hot backup the MPU
data.
On the MPU board, there are 32M DRAM (memory through which the CPU runs
programs and data), 3.5M data flash memory and 2M program flash memory.
The Flash Memory is used to store the MPU programs and data. It features fast access
speed, on-line rewritable, battery protection, and storage of programs or data during
power-off.

Figure 3-2Paths of loading the MPU programs and data
OSB1103-13
As shown in Figure 3-2, the MPU programs and data are loaded through two paths:
 When running as a single module office, the SM data loading is directly from the
BAM: BAM •¨DRAM; when running as one module accessed by AM, the SM data
loading is through AM/CM: BAM •¨AM/CM •¨DRAM.
 As shown by Path 3 in the figure, loading data from flash memory to DRAM is
faster than from BAM: Flash Memory •¨ DRAM.
Path 2 in the figure shows that the programs and data in the DRAM are written into
the Flash Memory, as a result, when there is a restart of MPU, the loading of
programs and data from the Flash Memory to the DRAM may be preferred, this
process is faster than loading from the BAM, and you can quickly resume the
operation.
At the side of the MPU board, there are 2 switches: SW1 and SW2. SW1 is an 8-digit
switch (sometimes this kind of small switch is called DIP), and SW2 is a 4-digit
switch, as shown in Figure 3-3.

 Note
1. "Writability of programs/data" determines whether to write the DRAM
programs/data into the Flash Memory or not.
2. About SW2-3
When SM accesses switching system as local module (in the mode of MC2/LAPMC2
+ OPT), switch SW2-3 is used to set OFL mode: SW2-3 is set ON when the SM -
[AM/CM] optical path is running on loadsharing mode, it is set OFF when the optical
path is running on active/standby mode.
When SM accesses system as remote module (in modes of LAPN7+IDT ,or

LAPMC2/MC2+IDT), SW2-3 is used to indicate the selection of phaselocking for
BNET. ON indicates phaselock the CKF (clock frame), while OFF means phaselock
DT8K0 timing signal coming from DT frame.

3.1.3 EMA
EMA, the emergency message automatic switchover board, is located in the upper
frame. EMA handles the communication between 2 MPUs, determines which is the
active one and control the switchover between the two. It provides the data backup
path for the 2 MPUs and monitors the run state of the active and standby MPUs.
OSB1103-16
By default, the EMA board regards MPU-A as the active one, and MPU-B as the
standby one. When the 2 MPUs are at work, if the active is off line, or a fault occurs
to its hardware or software, the EMA board will automatically switch the control
authority to the standby MPU. When both MPU-A and MPU-B are running , a MML
command from the operator(BAM) to EMA will let EMA give the control authority to
the standby MPU.. If only one MPU is at work, then the EMA will stop working.

Figure 3-4 EMA board
The EMA running principle is as shown in Figure 3-4 (in the dotted-line frame). The
CPU on the EMA board is the high performance 80186. The CPU exchanges
information with MPU-A (active) and MPU-B (standby) through 2 mailboxes, and
monitors the software run state of the MPUs. When the active MPU fails, the EMA
will switch the control authority over to the standby MPU. PRAM is an 8K mailbox,
onto which the MPUs can back up data at any time.

OUT Green On when MPU-A is off line
ACT Green On when MPU-B is active
SBY Green On when MPU-B is standby
OUT Green On when MPU-B is off line
OSB1103-17
3.1.4 NOD
NOD is the main node board, responsible for the communication between the MPU
and other boards in the subscriber and trunk frame. There are 11 NOD slots, 6 in the
upper frame, and 5 in the lower frame. Usually we start to insert the NOD board from
Slot 2 in the upper frame. When the upper frame is full, then start to insert from Slot 2
in the lower frame. The larger the module capacity, the more the NOD boards.
Each NOD board provides 4 main nodes. Each main node includes 1 mailbox, 1 CPU,
and 1 serial port. The main node communicates with the MPU through the mailbox,
and with the subnodes in subscriber and DTB through the serial ports in the broadcast
mode. Each main node can access multiple subnodes. The main node, as is the bridge
between the MPU and the board in subscriber and DTB, forwards the commands
issued by the MPU to the subnodes, and reports the state of the subnodes to the MPU.
The 44 main nodes in SM can be manually distributed to the boards in subscriber and
DTB.

3.1.5 SIG
SIG is the digital signal tone board. There are altogether 2 SIG slots in the lower
frame, which are in the hot active/standby mode. The SIG board to the left is regarded
as active by default.
When the switch is in the process of call connection, it needs to provide the users with
various signal tones, including connection prompt tone (e.g. Dialing tone, busy tone),
call pickup prompt tone, new service prompt tone, and the voice signals like time
OSB1103-18
announcement and weather report. The voices mentioned above are all generated by
the SIG board, and the corresponding analog signals are transformed and generated by
other circuits
In the whole switching system, the relationship between the SIG boards and the MPU
and BNET boards is shown in Figure 3-5.
MPU
DHW UHW48
NET DHW48 SI G
UHW71
UHW DHW71
Figure 3-5 Location of the SIG boards
The working of SIG boards are controlled by the main MPU. The SIG boards are
connected through 2.048Mbit/s PCM mode (E1) to the BNET board to input and
output the voice signals. One set of SIG circuits can be connected to 2 PCM HWs,
enabling the SIG to provide at any time 64 voices stored in the memory, and to record
the voice of a time slot by using either HW.
The SIG board provides 64 paths of signal tone, 32 of which can record voices, and 4
of the 32 are open to the subscribers, each path can record as long as 64 seconds.
CC02SIG board provides 2 recording time slots (TS0, TS1); CB01SIG baord provides
4 recording time slots(TS0, TS1, TS34 and TS35, i.e. TS0 and TS1 from 48 HW, and
TS2 and TS3 from 71 HW).
3.1.6 BNETA
BNETA is the intra-module switching network board. There are 2 BNETA slots. As
the BNETA board is larger in size, it occupies both the upper and lower frame. The 2
BNETA are in the hot active/standby mode. Usually the BNETA to the left is
regarded as active by default.
OSB1103-19
The BNETA board is the switching center where the SM controls itself and maintains
the communication links, and is also the switching center of voice and data
communications. The switching of signaling and voice channels are all completed by
the NET board under the MPU supervision. The BNETA board has the following
functions:
 BNETA is a 4K4K single T switching network, providing 128 HWs, 64 of which

are used by its own system resources, the other 64 are freely distributed to users and
trunks.
 Providing the working clock for the local frame (except OPT), subscriber frame
and trunk frame.
 Sending the FSK (Frequency Shift Keying control) digital signals of the caller
number of 32 time slots.
 Supporting 64-party conference telephone.
 With multiple clock working modes available; local board clock (free oscillatory
mode), phase-locked clock frame, phase-locked DT clock, and phase-locked OPT
clock.
 Supports the active/standby OPT or loadsharing OPT.

OSB1103-20
3.1.7 CKV
CKV is the clock drive board, used to drive the differential clocks of the main control
frame to the functional units (subscriber frame, trunk board).
The input signals of the CKV board are two groups of differential clocks sent from
the NET board, which are received and transformed into the non-differential level
clock by the differential receiving circuit. The non-differential level clock drives 34
sets of differential clocks. The output signals from differential clock are sent along
with differential HWs to the functional units(subscriber frame and trunk board). One
set of differential clock is allocated to every 2 groups of HWs (each group of HW
contains two differential HWs, upward and downward)to extract and send the signal
code on the differential HWs.
There are drive components but no CPU on the CKV board, so the CKV board can
not report the fault state and does not need to work out data. Taking the CKV board as
part of the BNETA board, the CKV state is consistent with the BNETA state, that is,
if the BNETA fails, the CKV also fails; if the BNETA is normal, the CKV is also
normal. In addition, either board alone, BNETA or CKV, cannot work normally.
 Note
Do not unplug the active CKV. If you want to do so, you have to first send the BNETA
switchover command from the O&M terminal, so that the state of the BNETA
accompanying the active CKV is turned to standby, then you can unplug the CKV
card. The reason is that after the active CKV being unplugged, the two BNETA cards
cannot perform switchover.
OSB1103-21
3.1.8 MEM
MEM is the memory board, actually it is an industrial computer in charge of the

interface between the switch and the intelligent network. MEM can store a large
volume of call bills, its main function is to store the switch’s office data, user data and
call bills in real time. It has the network communication function: the network
communication controller (network board) on the MEM board can support a LAN
network platform, enabling the switch to support services requiring large data
transmission, such as intelligent network and GSM interworking and roaming. The
MEM board converts directly from the internal mailbox communication to the TCP/IP
communication, it can accomplish the routing function, so the switch itself has the
functions of a router.
There are 2 MEM slots, one in the upper frame, the other in the lower frame. The 2
MEM boards work in the loadsharing mode or active/standby mode, this is
determined by the software. The MEM board is not always in use; it is mainly used in
Intelligent Network to store large volume of call bills.
The MEM slots can not hold MFC board, NO7 board, LAP board and DTR board, but
the MEM boards can be inserted into the MFC slots.
3.1.9 MFC, NO7, LAP and DTR
There are 8 MFC slots, 4 in the upper frame, 4 in the lower frame. The slots of MFC,
NO7, LAP and DTR boards are compatible. LPN7, LPV5, LPHI and LPRA are called
LAP boards. The MFC slots can hold the MEM boards, but the MEM slots do not
accept the MFC, NO7, LAP and DTR boards.
When the trunk of the local module uses R2 signaling, you need to insert the MFC
boards in the MFC slots; when the trunk of the local module uses CCS7 signaling,
PRA interface, V5 interface or PHI, you need to insert NO7 or LAP boards in the
MFC slots; when the trunk of the lcoal module uses V5 interface, you need to insert
the DTR boards in the MFC slots to receive the DTMF dialing number from an AN
subscriber.

number receivers each. The DTR board is used together with the V5TK board and
LPV5 board, extracting from the V5TK the DTMF signals dialed by the AN
subscribers so that the CPU can analyze them and process calls.
3.1.10 MC2
MC2 is the module communication board. There are 2 MC2 slots. If SM is used as a
submodule of AM, the 2 MC2 boards should be inserted. Each board provides 1
channel of 2Mbit/s HDLC, and the two links work in loadsharing mode. You can
manually allocate the load between the two HDLCs from BAM or workstation for a
most reasonable distribution of load.
The inter-module call connection information and other control information are
transmitted from the MPU board through the MC2 HDLC to the OPT board,
converted into optical signals and retransmitted to the AM/CM. The board is designed
to have 2 HDLCs, but in actual application, we only assemble and use 1 HDLC.
The MC2 board, as the module communication board, constitutes the module
communication link with the optical board, BNET board and MCC board, it is in
charge of transmitting the management data, call processing, billing, traffic statistics,
OSB1103-25
maintenance & testing and other information between SMs, or between SMs and the
AM, thus forming the modular structure of the C&C08 digital SPC switch.
One pair of MC2 work together with one pair of MCCS in the load sharing mode.
That is to say, when the 2 links connected to the SM are both normal, each link takes
up half of the traffic; if one link fails, the other link will take up the whole traffic to
ensure that the system has sufficient communication capability and is highly reliable.
The mapping relationship between MC2 and MCCS is shown in Figure 3-8.

3.1.11 OPT
OPT is the optical interface board, performing the physical bearer functions when the
SM communicates with the AM/CM. Each OPT board has 1 optical interface. There
are 2 OPT slots in the lower frame. A pair of OPT is needed when SM is running as a
module accessed by AM/CM. The OPT will be running in active/standby mode when
SM capacity isn’t very large, and in load sharing mode when it is large. The SW2•]3
on the MPU board determines whether the OPT boards are in the active/standby or in
the loadsharing mode.
The OPT board provides one 40Mbit/s optical path to FBI/FBC board of AM/CM,
provides one 32Mbit/s big HW channel(16 HWs) to the BNET within the same
module, and provides one 2Mbit/s HDLC channel to the MC2 of the same module.
The OPT board is located at the SM side, converting the optical signals sent by the
opposite end into electric signals, and then demultiplexing the electric signals into 16
channels of 2.048Mbit/s HW signals (32 time slots) and one channel of 2.048M
HDLC signals; in the meantime, the OPT board multiplexes the 16 small HW signals
and 1 HDLC link signals sent by the NET board and the channel control signals
generated by itself into 40.96M code streams, converting them into optical signals and
sending them out.
In the SM, the OPT board functions as the clock source, extracting the clock signals
from the 40.96M code streams, and sending such signals to the BNET after the
signals are processed.
The OPT is similar to the FBI+FBC in terms of basic circuit structure, their difference
lies in that each functional module has different circuits to fulfill its functions; the
OPT circuit not only includes the signal processing part, but also includes the
optic/electric and electric/optic conversion part.

collection and processing of alarm information. When the SM is used as the single
module office, the ALM can be used to connect the clock frame.
ALM handles the communication of the MPU with the alarm box and clock frame.
Each board has one mailbox, providing 8 async serial ports and 2 sync serial ports.
The bi-port mailbox is used to communicate with the MPU; 4 RS-232 serial ports can
be connected with the PRT card to transmit the billing information (business hall
billing); 4 RS-422 serial ports are used to connect the alarm box and clock frame; 2*
64Kbit/s HDLC sync serial ports are connected to the BNET board and occupy two
time slots of the HW, they are used to exchange the alarm information.
3.1.13 TCI
TCI is the terminal control interface board in the lower frame, responsible for the
communication between the MPU and the LCD attendant console. It is also connected
to the attendant console in the CENTREX calling center. Each TCI board has one
mailbox and provides 9 serial ports and 6 voice channels. TCI communicates with the
OSB1103-28
MPU via the bi-port mailbox, and with the attendant console via 6 serial ports and 6
voice channels, that is, it can connect at most 6 LCD attendant consoles, and the rest 3
serial ports are left unused.
This function is not needed in many offices, so they may not insert the TCI board.

3.2.2 CKS
CKS directly communicates with the MPU.CKS is the stratum 2/3 clock board that
occupies 2 slots. The 2 CKS boards are in active/standby mode. They can be set to be
stratum 2 or 3 clock through the switch setting.
CKS’s additional functions below:
 Enhanced maintenance and alarm function, fully conforming to the international

requirements.
 With an additional testing function of the quality of clock reference source, it can
test the frequency and MRITE value of the reference source, send out the alarm
information and provides the switchover function of reference source degrading.
 CKS treats the Phase-locked SDH and the PDH in different ways, but their
features are completely compatible.
 The loss of hardware lock inside the CKS can be detected. When the active board
fails, the hardware performs the switchover to the standby one, hence reducing the
time of faults detection and board switchover.
 CKS combines the hardware automatic adjustment and manual control functions,
that is to say, the hardware can automatically adjust the input reference source
according to the frequency deviation of each reference source, and the user can
perform the manual control at the terminal.

can be used to connect the voice mailbox or ACC station. An AVM board can be set
through the switches on it as 16 or 32 channels: there is a jumper near the “U46”,
when the jumper breaks, the AVM board has 32 channels, equivalent to 2 ASL slots
occupied; when the jumper closes, the AVM board has 16 channels, equivalent to 1
ASL slot occupied.
3.3.3 DRV
DRV is the dual tone number receiver and drive board. Each board has 16 dual tone
number receivers to receive the DTMF numbers dialed on the analog telephone sets,
and to drive the HW signals, serial port signals and clock signals of the subscribers in
the half frame.
There are 2 DRV slots in the subscriber frame, usually both are inserted. When
receiving the DTMF numbers, the 2 DRV boards work in the loadsharing mode on a
rotation basis; when driving signals, the 2 DRV boards work in the mutual help state.
In normal conditions, they each drive half frame of subscribers. If one DRV is out of
work or fails, the other DRV will drive all the subscribers in the frame with the help
of the NOD board.
Signal drive refers to the conversion between the signal’s TTL level and differential
level. What changed is the form of the signal, and the content of the signal remains
unchanged.
The DRV boards lie between the NET board and the ASL boards. The interfaces of
the NET board and NOD board uses the differential level. The DRV board converts
the signal level from differential level to TTL level when they go from the NET to the
DRV and from the NOD to the DRV; and converts the signal level from TTL level to
differential level when they go from the DRV to the NET and from the DRV to the
NOD.

There are 2 PWC slots, which are both inserted in hot backup. When one PWC board
is at work, it can power the whole frame.
3.4.2 DTF
DTF is the digital trunk circuit board, interfacing the inter-office digital trunks. Each
board has 2 PCM systems providing 60 digital trunks. One DTF frame has 16 DTF
slots and can provide 960 DT.
When working together with different signaling equipment, the DTF can support
different services. Through the data management system of the O&M terminal, the
DTF can be set as follows:
 DT2
When the R2 signaling is used between the exchange offices, set the DTF as DT, and
insert the MFC board in the main control frame.
 DT5
When the No.5 signaling system is used between the exchanges, set the DTF as DT5,
and insert the MFC board in the main control frame.
 TUP
When the CCS7 signaling is used between the exchange offices and the telephone
services are transmitted, set the DTF as TUP, and insert the NO7 or LPN7 board in
the MFC slot.
ISUP
When the CCS7 signaling is used between the exchange offices and the ISDN
services are transmitted, set the DTF as ISUP and insert the LPN7 board in the MFC
slot.
 V5TK
OSB1103-35
When the V5.1 or V5.2 interface is used in the access network, set DTF to V5TK,
insert the LPV5 and DTR boards in the MFC slots in the main control frame. LPV5
provides the V5.X protocol, DTR board extracts from the V5TK the DTMF signals
dialed by the AN subscribers.
 PHI (Packet Handler Interface)
PHI is the packet handler interface board. When interfacing the switch and the packet-
switched network, the LPHI board should be inserted in the MFC slot in the main
control frame. In order to let ISDN interworks with the PSPDN, add a PHI to the
ISDN switch, and the PHI will serve as the interface between the PH (packet handler)
and the ISDN switch. As the PH can interwork with the PSPDN, so the ISDN will be
able to interwork with the PSPDN through the PHI.
 PRA (Primary Rate Access)
PRA is the primary rate access board, i.e. ISDN 30B+D interface board, used to
interconnect the ISDNs. So insert the LPRA board in the MFC slot in the main
control frame.
 iDT
iDT is the internal digital trunk board. When the internal CCS7 signaling is used to
access RSM, insert the NO7 or LPN7 board in the MFC slot in the main control
frame.
 RDT
RDT is the remote subscriber access interface board, accessing the remote subscribers
in the LAPRSA + RDT (i.e. DTF) + RSA1 mode.
The above-mentioned 8 types of boards are derived from the DTF boards, they are
completely the same in hardware, software (only DT2 and DT5 need special board
software according to actual situations), transmission rate and format. They are
different because the switch handles them differently according to different data set at
the background.

MTK is the magnet trunk board with 8 channels. With the magnet trunk circuit as the
interface with the magnet switch, its signaling is performed by the ringing on both
sides.
3.5.3 TKD
TKD is the analog trunk drive board, handling the level conversion of the single
line/differential frame from the analog trunk equipment to the main control frame.
The analog trunks need drive that is done by CT0 or TKD. If the analog trunk frame
does not have CT0, then TKD provides the drive. There are 2 TKD slots, each TKD
drives its half of the analog trunk frame. Therefore, if AT boards are inserted in a half
frame, then TKD board should be inserted in other appropriate slot.
OSB1103-40
TKD slots support CT0 board. If the AT0 boards are inserted in the frame, and PC
operator is to be provided for the PBX connected to AT0, then replace TKD board
with the CT0 board.
CT0 is the PC operator board, it drives the analog trunk. Each board provides 8 PC
operators and is used together with the AT0.
3.5.4 TST
TST is the analog trunk test board, testing the functions of 2/4-line outgoing and
incoming trunks. There is only 1 TST slot. When the AT2, AT4, EM4 or MTK are
included in the analog trunks, the frame (or the module) should be equipped with a
TST board .
3.5.5 TSS
TSS is the analog subscriber test board used in the subscriber frame and AT frame,
testing the analog subscribers and AT0 (loop trunk). Usually one TSS board is
allocated to two adjacent subscriber frames to test the subscriber lines in the two
frames.
3.5.6 Conversion Switch
There is only one conversion switch used to distribute HW and NOD wires for the
frame.
3.6 RSA Frame
The SM’s RSA frame is shown in Figure 3-14. There are 8 RSA slots, the number of
RSA boards is determined by the number of remote subscribers. As a pair of RSA
OSB1103-41
boards support one frame of remote subscribers, so an RSA frame can connect at most
4 frames of remote subscribers, i.e. 1216 ASLs.

3.6.1 PWX
PWX is the secondary power supply board with •|48V DC input and +5V/10A DC
output, and DC-5V/5A and AC 75V/400mA (25Hz ringing current), supplying
electricity to the subscriber frame, AT frame and RSA frame. It supplies ringing
current to the analog subscribers and loop trunk AT0.
There are 2 PWX slots in the RSA frame, usually both are equipped in hot backup
mode. When one PWX board is at work, it can power the whole frame.
3.6.2 RSA
RSA is the remote subscriber access interface board, providing the interface (32 TS
PCM) and protocol accessing remote subscribers. The far-end RSA boards and near-
end RSA boards are the same in hardware but different in software.
There are 8 RSA slots, each pair of RSA boards (two adjacent RSA boards) can
access one remote subscriber frame.

Functional Structure of SM
 Key Points
SM can be divided into three parts functionally:
 Module control & communication unit;

 Intra-module switching network;
 Interface unit.
In the C&C08 switching system, 90% of the call processing functions and circuit
maintenance functions are fulfilled by the switching modules(SM). The call
processing function includes call source description, number receiving/analysis and
circuit connection. The circuit maintenance function includes viewing alarm
information, circuit control, system restart, call monitoring, signaling track, circuit
test, traffic statistics and bill management.
An SM is structurally divided into three functional blocks, as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 SM functional structure
4.1 Module Control and Communication Unit (in

MCB)
4.1.1 Module Control Unit
The module control unit contains MPU, EMA, NOD and SIG boards. MPU and SIG
boards are configured in active/standby mode. The module control unit has the
following functions:
 Control the running of the SM, including call processing, analysis of circuit test
result, alarm information processing, traffic control, bill generation, traffic statistics
and special call processing (e.g. 3PTY service, 64 PTY telephone conference). The
functions are mainly performed by the MPU board.
 Test and control the boards in the module. The functions are jointly performed by
MPU and NOD boards.
 Generate and test signal tones of every kind. The functions are jointly performed
by MPU and SIG boards.
4.1.2 Module Communication Unit
The module communication unit contains OPT, MC2, ALM, TCI, MFC, NO7, LAP,
DTR and MEM boards.
The module communication unit is connected to the AM/CM through 2 pairs of

40Mbit/s optical fiber links. It has the functions below:
 Handle the communication between SMs or between SM and AM/CM, provide

the transmission path over which the maintenance & test signals are transmitted from
OSB1103-45
the BAM to the SM and the maintenance & test results are reported by the SM to the
BAM. This part of function is performed by the OPT and MC2 boards.
 Provide alarm box, clock frame (used only for single module office) and the
interface from the call center attendant console to the control unit. This part of
functions is performed by the ALM and TCI boards.
 Provide protocols needed by every interface unit. This part of function is

performed by MFC, NO7, LAP, DTR and MEM boards.
4.2 Intra-module Switching Network (in MCB)
The intra-module switching network refers to the BNET board, which is configured in
the active/standby mode and is a 4K4K single T switching network. It can
independently fulfill the switching functions within the module and can work together
with the AM/CM central switching network to fulfill the inter-SM switching
functions.
4.3 Interface Unit (in subscriber and TMB)
Different interface units are used to convert the digital signal format applied in the
C&C08 switch into the signal formats appropriate for the communication services of
different types.
The interface unit includes subscriber interface, trunk interface, ACD, intelligent
service interface and ISDN interface, which are suitable respectively for ASL or DSL,
analog or digital trunks, inter-office transmission system and inter-network
connection.
The ordinary SM includes only the subscriber interface and trunk interface. The ACD
& intelligent service interface is provided by adding a functional block to the SM; and
the ISDN interface is realized by adding functional boards to the subscriber and AT
frames.
OSB1103-46
The subscriber interface includes ASL, DCN, AVM and DRV boards; the trunk
interface includes DTF, TUP, V5TK, AT0, AT2, AT4, EM4, MTK, TKD and CT0
boards; the ISDN interface includes DSL, DIU, ISUP, PRA and PHI boards.

Figure 5-1 SM Control Structure
OSB1103-49
As shown in Figure 5-1, the SM is of a multi-level structure, its key parts work in hot
backup mode to improve the system reliability. It has four levels of control: Level 2,
Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5.
The boards located at Level 1 of the control structure are MPU and EMA, which
serve as the control center of the whole SM. Each functional circuit reports its state
information to the MPU, and the MPU analyzes the state information, sends out
commands to drive the functional boards. In other words, the MPU is the control
center of the switch, and the EMA board ensures the reliable operation of the MPU. In
case the active MPU fails, the EMA board will hand the control right over to the
standby MPU.
The boards located in Level 2 of the control structure (in the main control frame
where the MPUs reside) communicate directly with the MPU via the mailbox, report
state information and execute commands. If the board (NOD for example) is in charge
of issuing orders to the next level boards, it communicates with Level 3 boards
through the serial port. The NOD board plays the role of a communication bridge.
The boards in Level 3 of the control structure communicate indirectly with the MPU
through the NOD board, report the state information and execute the commands. If
the board (SLT or RSA) is not at the end level of the control structure, it is
responsible for sending orders to the next level boards, and for reporting the state of
the next level boards.
5.1.1 Level 2 Control
Level 2 control refers to the fact that the MPU communicates directly with the CPU
on the board through the bus and the bi-port mailbox on the board. The boards in
Level 2 control are: NOD, MC2, OPT, BNET, LAP, MFC, NO7, MEM, SIG, ALM
and TCI.
MPU is the central processing unit in SM. The two MPUs work in hot backup mode
to enhance the system reliability. The EMA assists the MPU in hot data backup and
control the MPU switchover. In the module, the CPUs in all the control interface
OSB1103-50
components work together and play their respective roles to form a well-run multi-
CPU control system. The communication between CPUs is done by the mailbox with
the memory mapping technology. They cluster together to effectively reduce the
spending of internal communication.
The module communication board(MC2) and optical interface board (OPT) serve as
the interfaces for communication between modules. In the module, each MC2 is
connected to the OPT through one 2Mbit/s HDLC link. The OPT synthesizes the
2Mbit/s signaling from MC2, 32Mbit/s voice channels (16 HWs) from BNET,
2Mbit/s sync information, 4Mbit/s error detection and correction information into
40Mbit/s optical signals, and sends such optical signals through the fiber optic to the
FBC in the AM/CM, where they are used for the inter-module communication and
switching.
The MC2 in the SM corresponds to the MCCS in the AM/CM. The OPT in the SM
corresponds to the FBC in the AM/CM. When the SM serves as a single module
office, it does not need this part of circuits. With only the trunk interface unit, it can
fulfill the inter-office communication.
In the SM, the time division switching network (BNETA) can independently handle
the time division switching of information of calls originated within the module, and
in the meantime, the BNETA works together with the CTN in the AM/CM to handle
the time division switching of inter-module calls.
From top to bottom, level 3 control consists of MPU, master control point (NOD) and
slave control point(CPU).
The MPU establishes through the NOD the relationship between the slave control
points (CPUs). The slave control point (CPU) refers to the microprocessor, called
subnode, on the functional circuit boards, such as subscriber and trunk interfaces.
The NOD board, as the bridge for communication between the MPU board and the
functional subnodes, forwards the commands of the MPU to the subnodes, and reports
OSB1103-51
the state of the subnodes to the MPU. The NOD communicates with the MPU by
mailbox, and with the subnodes through the serial port.
As shown in Figure 5-1, the boards adopting Level 3 control include the functional
boards in the subscriber and DT frames, such as ASL, DSL, DRV, TSS, DT and AT
(except the PWC and PWX).
The control ability of SM is determined by the quantity of NOD boards. At full

configuration, the SM can be equipped with 11 NOD boards, or 44 main nodes.
The distribution of SM main nodes follows the principle below: a frame of

subscribers(304ASLs) requires 2 main nodes, that is to say, in normal conditions, the
subscribers of half a frame communicate with the MPU through 1 main node; a DTF
(60 Dts) requires 1 main node; the AT boards (64 ATs) of half a frame share 1 main
node.
Level 4 control means that, when the clock frame is allocated for the SM single
module office, the CK2 and CK3 communicate with the MPU through SLT and
ALM:
 MPU•]•]ALM•]•]SLT•]•]CK2/CK3
The level 5 control defines the communication between MPU and RSA functional
boards.MPU•]•]NOD•]•]RSA0•]•]RSA1•]•]Functional boards in the remote
subscriber frame (ASL, DSL, DRV, etc.)
The boards in the subscriber and trunk interface units are at the end level of the
control structure, they communicate with the MPU through the NOD or RSA. The
most essential functions of the switch are provided through these interfaces.
5.2 Signaling Process
OSB1103-52
The SM controls the subscriber frame through the NOD. All the user interfaces and
DRV boards are subnodes and objects under the control of the NOD. The DRV board
receives the DTMF signals from the subscribers and drives the HW signals of the
frame where it resides.
For the intra-module calls between analog subscribers, the signaling channel is as
follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]NOD•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]DRV•]•]ASL
For the inter module calls between analog subscribers, the signaling channel is as
follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]NOD•]•]MPU•]•]MC2•]•]BNET•]•]OPT•]•]fiber
•]•]FBC•]•]SNT•]•]MCCS•]•]MCCS•]•]SNT•]•]FBC•]•]fiber•]•]OP
T•]•]BNET•]•]MC2•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]DRV•]•]ASL
The control to DT frame is also performed via the NOD. All the trunk interfaces,TKD
boards and CT0 are under the control of NOD. The TKD board converts the level
from the main control frame to the AT frame and drives the HW signals of the frame
in which it resides. In addition to the provision of TKD functions, the CT0 board
provides PC operators for the PBXs on the AT0 line.
If the outgoing calls of the ASL is transmitted through the digital trunk in the same
module, its signaling path is as follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]NOD•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]DT
If the outgoing calls of the local ASL is transmitted through the analog trunk, its
signaling path is as follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]NOD•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]TKD•]•]AT
If the inter-module outgoing calls of the analog subscriber go through the digital
trunks, its signaling path is as follows:
T•]•]BNET•]•]MC2•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]DT
If the inter-module outgoing calls of analog subscribers go through the analog trunk,
its signaling path is as follows:
OSB1103-53
T•]•]BNET•]•]MC2•]•]MPU•]•]NOD•]•]TKD•]•]AT
The communication path between the SM and the BAM is as follows:

OSB1103-55
Network Structure of SM
 Key Points
1. HW allocation.
2. Speech channel path.
The SM network structure involves the distribution of the network resources (HW)
and the connection of the network to the user and trunk interfaces.
The capacity of the T network can be indicated by the amount of simultaneous TS that
it can be exchanged. For example, 32 HWs can be exchanged at a time, and each HW
has 32 time slots, then the capacity of the switching network is 3232••1024 (TSs),
briefly called 1K network, that is, it temporarily stores 1024 PCM codes. As the
capacity of the BNETA is 4K4K time slots, then BNETA can provide 128
HWs•C64 of which can be freely allocated to the subscribers and trunks, the other 64
are used fixed for the system resources.
The free allocation follows the principle below: each subscriber frame occupies 2
HWs, each DTF board occupies 2 HWs, and every half of AT boards (8 AT boards)
occupies 2 HWs. HW must go in pairs, two HWs form a pair.

the switch is powered on or reset.
 NOD (2): HW64~65, reserved and unused at present.
 HDLC from MC2 to OPT (2): HW66~67, providing channels for the
communication links between MC2 and OPT, and being connected permanently to
the OPT board from the NET board.
 HDLC from OPT to MC2 (2): HW69~70, providing channels for the
communication links between OPT and MC2, and being connected permanently to
the MC2 board from the NET board.
 DCP centralized maintenance (2): HW92~93, reserved and unused at present.

the two HDLC links from the MPU to the BAM.
 Two OPTs to CTN and CNT (32): HW96~127, used for the inter-module voice
channel switching. If the two OPT boards are in active/standby mode, then 16 HWs

Figure 6-2 Connection of the network to the user interface
The connection of the network to the user interface is shown in Figure 6-2. The
network provides 2 HWs for each subscriber frame, altogether 64 time slots. Each
subscriber frame contains 304 ASLs, so there is a convergence ratio of 1:5 (64:304).
This function is performed by the DRV board.
Although the ration is so strict , we have to understand that in the pair of HW

assigned to users , the TS-31 in each HW is used for busy tone transmission, active
/standby mode ; thus only 62TS are available to users then only 62 of the subscribers
in a frame can talk over the phone, and the rest of them will hear busy tones. The busy
tone of the SIG board is sent through two fixed time slots to the DRV board, and the
DRV board broadcasts the busy tone to each user port needing the busy tone. For a
subscriber frame has only two DRV boards, each of which can provide 16 DTMFs, so
only 32 subscribers can simultaneously initiate the DTMF dialing.
OSB1103-59
Moreover, when the TSS is testing, it will occupy the limited time slots to report the
test results. The testing command is issued via the NOD.

Figure 6-3 Connection of the network to the trunk interface
The connection of the network to the trunk interface is shown in Figure 6-3. Each
DTF occupies 2 HWs, totalling 64 time slots, among which 60 are used as DTs. When
the DTF board is used for the channel associated signaling (CAS), the TS0 of each
HW is used for transmitting frame synchronous signals, the TS16 is used for multi-
frame synchronization and line signaling transmission, so only 30 TS are used for the
voice channels. When the DTF board is used for the common channel signaling
(CCS7) mode, the TS0 is used for frame synchronization, and the rest 31 time slots
may serve as voice channels, among which one or two TS can be used to transmit the
CCS7 signals.
OSB1103-60
A frame of ATs occupies 4 HWs, equivalent to the network resources of 2 DTF

boards. Since each time slot can be used as voice channels, it can provide 128 ATs.
The TKD board converts the levels between frames and drives HWs in the same
frame.
When the CT0 is configured, there should be 6 HWs, 2 of which are used by the
CT0’s PC operator. The network resources of the CT0 are additionally occupied, so
one additional pair of HWs (2HWs) shall be inserted in the wiring trough when
inserting the CT0 board. Since HWs are allocated in pairs to the subscribers and
trunks, either 1 or 2 CT0 boards shall occupy 2 HWs.
Furthermore, when TSS and TST are testing, they will also occupy the time slots to
report the test data. The test commands are sent through the NOD board.
6.3 Communication Process Flow
For the intro-module calls between analog subscribers, the voice path is as follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]BNET•]•]DRV•]•]ASL
For the inter-module calls between analog subscribers, the voice path is as follows:
 ASL•]•]DRV•]•]BNET•]•]OPT•]•]fiber•]•]FBC•]•]CTN•]•]FBC•]

Section 7
OSB1103-63
SM Configuration
 Key Points
1. System resources: NOD, HW, and optical fiber link (OFL).
2. System resource allocation.
7.1 System Configuration Principle
The SM has three major resources known as network (voice channel) resource HW,
communication resources NOD, and inter-module optical path (inter-module call), the
three items determine the capacity of a module.
7.1.1 Principle for the Main Node Allocation
There are altogether 11 NOD boards, each has 4 main nodes, so a maximum of 44
main nodes are allocated to the subscribers and trunks.
A half subscriber frame occupies one main node and one frame occupies 2 main
nodes.
One DTF board occupies 1 main node.
One subscriber frame occupies 2 main nodes.
The main nodes of the NOD boards shall be in cross configuration, that is, the 2 main
nodes allocated to 1 subscriber frame come from 2 different NOD boards, usually the
2 NODs on the same position of the two adjacent NOD boards are selected. If one
NOD board fails, the other one will undertake the work of the whole frame, thus
ensuring the reliability.
7.1.2 Principle for the HW Allocation
OSB1103-64
As the 4K4K NET board is used, the total number of HW is 128,there are 64 HWs
(HW0~HW47, HW76~HW91) left for the subscribers and HWs; others may be used
or reserved.
One subscriber frame occupies 2 HWs.
One DTF board occupies 2 HWs.
One AT frame occupies 4 HWs. If CT0 is inserted, the CT0’s PC operators occupy 2
HWs, in this case, one AT frame occupies 6 HWs.
7.1.3 Principle for the Allocation of Inter-module

Optical Paths
One pair of optical paths from the SM to the AM/CM can provide 512 voice channels
(512TS) when connected in the active/standby mode, and can provide 1024 voice
channels (1024TS) when connected in the loadsharing mode. If the actual capacity of
a module is smaller (e.g. Less than 2,000 subscriber lines), it can access the AM with
the pair of optical paths working in the active/standby mode; if the module capacity is
large enough , then the pair of optical paths should work in the load sharing mode.
To sum up, as long as you make full use of the resources like HW (64 HWs), NOD
(44 NODs) and inter-module optical paths (1024Ts), you can flexibly configure the
subscriber frame and trunk frame. Whenever 60 DTs or 64ATs are added, 304ASLs
will be reduced.
7.2 Explanation of the Typical Configurations of

SM
7.2.1 USM at Full Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-1, at full configuration, the USM has 22 subscriber frames with
a maximum capacity of 6688ASL/3344DSL.
OSB1103-65
The MEM and TCI in the main control frame are optional. MFC (or NO7 and LAP) is
not equipped. The two OPT boards work in the loadsharing mode, using the AM/CM
resources.
44 NODs are all occupied and 44 HWs are used, with 20 HWs left.
The HW convergence ratio is 304:62••5:1, then the maximum traffic (Erlang) is

0.2Erl; the convergence ratio of the optical path is (44 HWs32Ts):
1024Ts••1.33:1.
The HW resources are surplus, but the NOD resources are all occupied, so subscriber
capacity can not be expanded.
7.2.2 TSM at Standard Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-2, at standard configuration, the TSM has 2 DT frames holding
24 DTF boards (one frame holds 16, the other 8), with a capacity of 1440DT.
In the main control frame, MEM is optional; MFC (or NO7, LAP) is necessary; TCI
is not equipped. The two OPT boards work in the loadsharing mode, using the
AM/CM resources.
24 NODs are occupied, with 20 left; 48 HWs are used, with 16 left.
The convergence ratio of the optical path time slot is (48 HW32TS):
1024Ts••1.4:1•Cthe maximum traffic (Erlang) of the trunk is 0.7Erl.
There are surplus HW and NOD resources. If DTF boards are added, the convergence
ratio of the optical path time slot will become larger, the maximum traffic of the trunk
will be less than 0.7Erl, so the trunk capacity can not be expanded.
7.2.3 UTM at Standard Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-3, at standard configuration, the UTM has 16 subscriber frames
and one DT frame (with 8 DTF boards), with a capacity of 4864ASL/480DT.
OSB1103-66
In the main control frame, MEM and TCI are optional; MFC (or NO7 and LAP) is
necessary. The two OPT boards work in the loadsharing mode, using the AM/CM
resources.
40 NODs are occupied, with 4 left; 48 HWs are used, with 16 left; the convergence
ratio of the optical TS is (48 HW32 TS): 1024Ts••1.4:1.
The standard configuration of the UTM derives from that of the TSM (1440DT) by
replacing 960 DTs in a DT frame with subscriber, as a result, 48 HWs and 36 NODs
are allocated to subscribers and connected to 18 subscriber frames (with 36 NODs and
36 HWs occupied). Due to the limitation of the optical path time slots, only 16
subscriber frames can be connected (with 32 NODs and 32 HWs occupied), so we get
a total of 4864ASLs, and keep the convergence ratio of the optical path time slot at(48
HW32 TS): 1024••1.4:1 .
7.2.4 TSM Single Module Office (Tandem Office)

at Standard Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-4, at standard configuration, the TSM single module office
(tandem office) has 2 DT frames, with 32 STM boards inserted and a capacity of 1920
DT.
In the main control frame, the MEM is optional; the MFC (NO7 or LAP) is necessary;
MC2, OPT and TCI are not equipped.
32 NODs are occupied, with 12 left; and 64 HWs are used.
When the TSM serves as a module of a multi-module office, its maximum

configuration is different from that of the single module TSM (tandem office). It can
not configure the DT frames to the full because there are optical fibers connecting the
module to the AM/CM, and the optical path can provide a limited number of time
slots (Maximumly 1024 TS). If the TSM, as a module, is configured with 1920 DT,
then the convergence ratio of the optical path TS is(64HW32Ts): 1024TS••1.9:1.
If the traffic between the modules is large, the convergence ratio of 1.9:1 does not
work, so the TSM can have as many as 1440DT when used as a module. In this case,
OSB1103-67
the convergence ratio of the optical path time slot is(48 HWs32Ts):1024TS••1.4:1,
this ratio is acceptable because 1:1.4 meets the requirements of the 0.7erl of the trunk.
The TSM single module office is not limited by the optical paths.
7.2.5 UTM Single Module Office at Standard

Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-5, at standard configuration,the UTM single module office has
18 subscriber frames and one DT frame (with 8 DTF boards), its capacity is
5472ASL/480DT.
The MEM and TCI in the main control frame are optional; MC2 and OPT are not
equipped.
All 44 NODs are occupied; 52 HWs are used, with 12 HWs left.
As the inter-module calls uses the optical paths, the number of subscribers of UTM is
less than that of UTM single module office.
7.3 Peripheral Configuration
7.3.1 Background Terminal System
BAM can be used without the maintenance station, or you can choose to have a LAN
O&M terminal system that maintains the switch in two ways: near end maintenance
and far end maintenance.

As shown in Figure 7-2, insert the multi-serial port card in the BAM (maximum 8
serial ports), and connect it via the Modem to the ASL; in the remote module, the
maintenance terminals is connected via the Modem to the ASL through dial-up. It is
advised that the Modem is connected to the ASL of another switch. The operation of
the remote maintenance terminal is the same as the operation of the host office, but at
a lower speed (delaying for about 1 second). This mode supports the point-to-multi-

With the ISDN 2B+D technology, the remote Centrex attendant consoles (no
limitation on its number) can be located 5~7 kilometers away, occupying a 2B+D
interface of the DCN board. A DCN board can connect 8 remote Centrex attendant
consoles. For the hardware, you need a Pentium PC, a CTX card and a set of
earphones and microphone.

Section 8 Loading
OSB1103-72
of SM
 Key Points
1. Switch-setting determines loading source: BAM, or Flash Memory.
2. Processing for third-level resetting.
On the MCB of the SM control frame, there are 2 switches: AUTO/ MANUAL,
MPCA/MPCB. The two switches are used to set which MPU is active after power on.
When the switch is at AUTO, the MPUA is active. At this time the EMA can control
the switchover between the active and standby MPUs. If the switch is set at
MANUAL, then the switch MPUA/MPUB will decide which MPU is active. In this
case, the EMA can not control the switchover between the two MPUs. Usually the 2
switches are set at AUTO and MPCA respectively. If only one MPUB is equipped in
the lower frame, then the switches are set at MANUAL and MPCB respectively.

Figure 8-1 Installation of the cables for loading the SM single module office
OSB1103-73
As shown in Figure 8-1, the MCB in the SM main control frame provides 2
load/online cable interfaces: JM7 and JM8. JM7 is the load interface, and JM8 is the
online interface. The 2 loading cables of 1 MCP card are connected to JM7 and
JM8•Cthe other MCP card is idle, and JM9 and JM10 are not used.
When loading the single module office, you have to set the SW2-1 of the MPU board
at OFF, and SW2-2 at ON.
For the active MPU, when the BIOS is powered on, it directly initializes the NET
board to establish semi-permanent connection and then to send loading requests to the
BAM:
 Active MPU •¨ UHW68 (upward HW)•¨ BNETA •¨ DHW94 (downward)•¨

BAM
When the BAM receives the loading requests from the BIOS on the MPUA, it will
send the loading request answer to the BIOS on the MPUA:
 BAM •¨ UHW94 •¨ BNETA •¨ DHW68 •¨ MPUB
And clear the buffer area, then send the loading data frame (programs and/or data) to
the host BIOS.
From this we can see that the establishment of paths is done through the NET board,
so you need to initialize the NET board to establish the semi-permanent connection.
But the dual MPU structure of the C&C08 switch determines that only the active
MPU has the right to operate the bus to initialize the NET board, and the standby
MPU does not have the right to operate the NET board, so the standby MPU needs the
help of the program of the active MPU in setting up the loading connection.
After the active MPU is successfully loaded and is in sound operation, the program of
the active MPU helps the standby MPU to load and go on-line, therefore, the loading
of the standby MPU does not need the support of the EMA. The loading path of the
standby MPU is the same as that of the active MPU. It is generally stipulated that the
loading cable of the single module office shall be less than 15 meters.
Guided by the BIOS on the MPU board and through the communication between the
BAM and the BIOS, the programs and data are transmitted to the DRAM on the MPU
OSB1103-74
board. The state of the switches on the MPU board: “Program Writable” and “Data
Writable”, determines whether to write the loaded programs and data into the Flash
Memory. When the system or the MPU restarts, the state of the switches on the MPU
board: “Program Available” and “Data Available” determines whether to use the
programs and data of the active MPU stored in the Flash Memory, or to load the
programs and data of the active MPU from the hardware of the BAM.
To set the SW1 on the MPU board at different positions, you will have different paths
to load the programs/data: load from the BAM or from the Flash Memory.
When loading programs and data from the BAM, the programs and data are not
written into the Flash Memory.
 SW1•]1~SW1•]8 are all set at OFF.
 Application: Using the new programs and data on a trial basis when updating the
version.
When loading data from the BAM, the programs and data are not written into the
Flash Memory.
 SW1•]6 is set as ON•Cthe rest at OFF.
 Application: Data debugging.
When loading programs and data from the BAM, the programs and data are not
 SW1•]3 and SW•]4 are set at ON•Cthe rest at OFF.
 Application: Loading new programs and data when updating the version.
When loading programs and data from the Flash Memory, the programs are not
written into the Flash Memory, but the data can be written into the Flash Memory.
 SW1•]4, SW1•]5 and SW1•]6 are set at ON•Cthe rest at OFF .
 Application: This is the setting when the switch is in normal operation. The data
change can be written into the Flash Memory, and the programs and data can be
accessed from the Flash Memory at power off.
OSB1103-75
To load data to the MPU board while the switch is in normal operation, reset the
MPU board or perform the level 3 restart at the maintenance station. Suppose MPUA
is active and MPUB is standby, the handling process of the foreground is as follows:
(a) As the data are loaded to the active MPU, the foreground shall first switch the
control right to MPUB in order to maintain the normal operation of the switch; the
MPUA turns standby in order to load data.
(b) The BAM shows the loading prompts to the standby MPU (MPUA) until the
end of the loading.
(c) To make the new data effective, you can “switch MPU” at the maintenance
station, after that the MPUA becomes active and runs the new data; the MPUB turns
standby.
(d) When the MPUB becomes standby, the system will “reset” it by loading
programs/data from the BAM or from the Flash Memory through the switch on the
board.
8.2 Loading of the SM as a Module
When loading the SM module office, set the SW2•]1 and SW2•]2 on the MPU
board at OFF.
The loading of the SM module office is done in almost the same way of loading the
SM single module office, except that the former establishes paths via AM/CM and
goes through the path request and time slot switchover. Similarly, the loading paths
also go through the NET board, so you have to initialize the NET board to establish
semi-permanent connection. That’s why the loading of the standby MPU also needs
the support of the programs of the active MPU.
When the active MPU is powered on, the BIOS begins to initialize the NET board,
setting the clock mode of the NET as phase-locked OPT0/1 clock, resetting MC2,
establishing semi-permanent connection and communication channels and sending
loading path request command to the AM.
OSB1103-76
 Active MPU •¨ MC2 •¨ BNETA •¨ OPT •¨ fiber •¨ FBC •¨ SNT •¨ MCCS

•¨ MCCM •¨ SNT •¨ BAM
After the AM receives the request command for establishing the loading path, it sends
the answer to load path request to the SM, after the BIOS receives the answer from
the AM, it conducts the semi-permanent connection the second time to establish the
loading path, sends loading request to the BAM and then goes into the normal loading
process
 BAM •¨ SNT •¨ MCCM •¨ MCCS •¨ SNT •¨ FBC •¨ Fiber •¨ OPT •¨

BNETA •¨ MC2 •¨ active MPU
The loading of standby MPU needs the support of the active MPU and the EMA.
After the standby MPU is powered on, it first sends the loading request to the active
MPU through the EMA mailbox, so the programs of the active MPU will establish the
loading path for the standby MPU, then inform the standby MPU via the EMA
mailbox that the loading path has been established. After that, the BIOS of the
standby MPU sends the loading request to the BAM and turns into the normal loading
process.
Loading path for the standby MPU:
 BAM •¨ OPT •¨ BNETA As shown in Figure 8-1, the MCB in the SM main
control frame provides 2 load/online cable interfaces: JM7 and JM8. JM7 is the load
interface, and JM8 is the online interface. The 2 loading cables of 1 MCP card are
connected to JM7 and JM8•Cthe other MCP card is idle, and JM9 and JM10 are not
used.
When loading the single module office, you have to set the SW2-1 of the MPU board
at OFF, and SW2-2 at ON.
For the active MPU, when the BIOS is powered on, it directly initializes the NET
board to establish semi-permanent connection and then to send loading requests to the
BAM:
Active MPU •¨ UHW68 (upward HW)•¨ BNETA •¨ DHW94

(downward)•¨ BAM
OSB1103-77
When the BAM receives the loading requests from the BIOS on the MPUA, it will
send the loading request answer to the BIOS on the MPUA:
BAM •¨ UHW94 •¨ BNETA •¨ DHW68 •¨ MPUB
And clear the buffer area, then send the loading data frame (programs and/or data) to
the host BIOS.
From this we can see that the establishment of paths is done through the NET board,
so you need to initialize the NET board to establish the semi-permanent connection.
But the dual MPU structure of the C&C08 switch determines that only the active
MPU has the right to operate the bus to initialize the NET board, and the standby
MPU does not have the right to operate the NET board, so the standby MPU needs the
help of the program of the active MPU in setting up the loading connection.
After the active MPU is successfully loaded and is in sound operation, the program of
the active MPU helps the standby MPU to load and go on-line, therefore, the loading
of the standby MPU does not need the support of the EMA. The loading path of the
standby MPU is the same as that of the active MPU. It is generally stipulated that the
loading cable of the single module office shall be less than 15 meters.
Guided by the BIOS on the MPU board and through the communication between the
BAM and the BIOS, the programs and data are transmitted to the DRAM on the MPU
board. The state of the switches on the MPU board: “Program Writable” and “Data
Writable”, determines whether to write the loaded programs and data into the Flash
Memory. When the system or the MPU restarts, the state of the switches on the MPU
board: “Program Available” and “Data Available” determines whether to use the
programs and data of the active MPU stored in the Flash Memory, or to load the
programs and data of the active MPU from the hardware of the BAM.
To set the software DIP switch for MPU board at different status, you will have
different paths to load the programs/data: load from the BAM or from the Flash
Memory.
Notes:
The software switches "program available" and "data available" determine loading
program and data from BAM respectively.
OSB1103-78
"Available": means the program or data on flash memory is usable.
Application examples:
1. When loading programs and data from the BAM, the programs and data are not
 "program available", "data available", "program writable" and "data

writable" are all set as "OFF".
 Application: Using the new programs and data on a trial basis when updating
the version.
2. When loading data from the BAM, the programs and data are not written into the
Flash Memory.
 "program available"is set as ON•Cthe rest at OFF.

 Application: Data debugging.
3. When loading programs and data from the BAM, the programs and data are not
 "program writable" and "data writable" are set at ON•Cthe rest at OFF.
 Application: Loading new programs and data when updating the version.
4. When loading programs and data from the Flash Memory, the programs are not
written into the Flash Memory, but the data can be written into the Flash Memory.
 "Program available", "data available", "data writable"are set as

ON•C"program writable" as OFF .
 Application: This is the setting when the switch is in normal operation. The
data change can be written into the Flash Memory, and the programs and data can be
accessed from the Flash Memory at power off.
To load data to the MPU board while the switch is in normal operation, reset the
MPU board or perform the level 3 restart at the maintenance station. Suppose MPUA
is active and MPUB is standby, the handling process of the processing system is as
follows:
OSB1103-79
(a) As the data are to be loaded to the active MPU, the system will first perform
switch-over to change MPUB into active so as to maintain the normal operation of the
switch; the MPUA turns standby in order to load data.
(b) The BAM shows the loading prompts to the standby MPU (MPUA) until the
end of the loading.
(c) To make the new data effective, you can “swap MPU card” at the maintenance
station, to make the MPUA become active and the new data in running; the MPUB
turns standby.
(d) When the MPUB becomes standby, the system will “reset” it by loading
programs/data from the BAM or from the Flash Memory according to switching
setting.
When loading the SM module office, set the SW2•]1 and SW2•]2 on the MPU
board at OFF.
The loading of the SM module office is done in almost the same way of loading the
SM single module office, except that the former establishes paths via AM/CM and
goes through the path request and time slot switchover. Similarly, the loading paths
also go through the NET board, so you have to initialize the NET board to establish
semi-permanent connection. That’s why the loading of the standby MPU also needs
the support of the programs of the active MPU.
When the active MPU is powered on, the BIOS begins to initialize the NET board,
setting the clock mode of the NET as phase-locked OPT0/1 clock, resetting MC2,
establishing semi-permanent connection and communication channels and sending
loading path request command to the AM.

process.

8.3 Loading of RSM
The resources dedicated to the BIOS on the MPU board of RSM and active MPU
programs are listed in the following table:
Board name HW Ts NOD
DTF 90 16 0
NO7/LAPN7 53 0 45
When the BIOS of RSM is loading data, it must set up the loading path (used to send
the loading request and load) from itself to the module holding the BAM. As a rule,
the BIOS selects the first link (Link No.4) of the first NO7 (LAPN7) board, and
selects TS 16 (90HW Ts16) of the first DT board as the CCS7 link, and
communicates with the iDT through the NOD 0.
When loading RSM, the MPU board will select the methods of loading RSM: put the
bottom two switches of the SW2 on the MPU board of RSM at ON state. Do not do
OSB1103-81
this to the MPU board of the higher ranking module which must run normally before
loading the RSM.
RSM is not connected directly to the AM, so it is of a stand-alone office.
OSB1103-82
Summary
OSB1103-83
This Program mainly deals with the following contents:
 Types and functions of SM
 Hardware configuration of USM, TSM, UTM, TSM single module office and
UTM single module office
 Configuration of SM frames
 Description of board functions, setting of switches on the key boards and meaning
of the indicator lights
 SM functional structure, control structure and network structure
 Principles for configuring HW and NOD of SM
 SM peripheral configuration
 Process of loading SM
The key points are the overall structure of the SM and the relationship between the
boards. The knowledge of this will help you get a deeper understanding of the SM
and know how to perform troubleshooting. For example, a fault in a part of the SM
may be caused by the fault in a board concerned, you will find it easier to locate the
fault if you refer to the board relationship.

Keys to the Exercises
OSB1103-88
1. The capacity of a USM at full configuration is 6688 ASL, and it needs 4

racks.
2. The capacity of a TSM at full configuration is 1920 DT or 1440

DT•Cand it needs 1 rack.
3. NOD communicates with MPU via the mailbox, and with subnodes
through the serial port.
4. The CPU on the active MPU controls the loading of programs and data by
DRAM from the BAM or Flash Memory. The switch on the active MPU decides
from where the programs and data are loaded. When the active MPU is reset after
power on, the CPU first read the switch state to decide the source of loading.
When the CPU runs normally, it acts according to the switch state to determine
whether to write the programs and data in the DRAM into the Flash Memory.
Suppose the switch state is “Flash Memory programs/data unavailable, but
writable”, the DRAM will choose to load from the BAM, and write them into the
Flash Memory after loading; suppose the switch state is “Flash Memory
programs/data available”, the DRAM will choose to load from the Flash memory.
5. In normal conditions, the two DRV boards in a subscriber frame drive

their own half frame of subscribers respectively. In case one DRV board fails, the
other DRV will take up its job to drive the whole frame of subscribers. Each
DRV board has 16 DTMF number receivers.
6. Primary power supply converts the AC 220V to DC48V, secondary

power supply converts 48V to /5V. PWC outputs 5V/20A•GPWX outputs
5V/10A, 5V/5A and AC 75V/400MA.
7. In the subscriber frame, the slots of ASL, DSL, AVM and DCN are
compatible.
8. The two main nodes allocated to each subscriber frame lie at the same
position on two adjacent NOD boards, in doing this, the two main nodes of the
same subscriber frame are not only helpful to each other, but also distributed in
different NOD boards, so they will not affect the normal work of the whole
subscriber frame in case of one NOD board fails, thus improving the reliability
OSB1103-89
9. A TSM board is allocated a main node.
10. The capacity of the BNETA is 4K4K; it can provide 64 PTY CONF
simultaneously; it can simultaneously support the sending of 32 CID signals.
11. Intra-module switched voice channel:

12. ALM provides 8 async serial ports, of which 4 RS•|232 interfaces can be
connected to the PRT card to transmit the billing information, 4 RS•|422
interfaces are connected to the alarm box and clock frame. It also provides 2
64Kbit/s HDLC sync serial ports.
13. The difference lies in that the TSM frame must have the MFC or CCS7
signaling board, but the USM does not have such boards.
14. When TSM serves as a module of the switch, its typical capacity is 1440
DTs•Gwhen as a single module office, its capacity is 1920 DT. The two
capacities are different in that, when the TSM serves as a module, there are 1024
channels between the modules, which limit the capacity of trunks; but when as a
single module office, there is no such channels limitation.
15. The LAP board supports CCS7 signaling, V5 protocol, PRA protocol and
PHI protocol.
16. First, it is decided by the physical connection of the optical paths. Of the
active and standby optical paths, one is connected to the active FBC board, the
other to the standby FBC board; the two loadsharing optical paths are all
connected to the active FBC. Moreover, when the SW2-3 on the MPU board of

the SM is at ON state, the module is in loadsharing mode; when the SW2-3 is at

OFF, the module is in the active/standby mode.

Course Description

After the course is completed, the trainees should be able to

 Master SM’s hardware configuration

 Understand the functional structure, control structure and network structure

 Know the HW and NOD allocation principle

Functions and Types of SM

2. SM may act as a single-module office, which is also called stand-alone office.

SM can provide intra-module call connections with its independent switching

Maximum number of racks in one SM: 8

Each rack (or cabinet elsewhere) has 6 frames

2. Numbering of racks and frames.

Types of SM frames: main control frame(MCB), clock frame(CKB), SUBSCRIBER

The rack composition differs as the modules are of different types:

 The USM in a multi-module office has subsidiary racks.
