BSC6900 Subrack Types MPS Subrack

The MPS performs centralized switching and provides traffic paths for other subracks. It also provides the service processing interface, OM interface, and system clock interface.

EPS Subrack

Extension subrack that provide the same services as main subrack , The EPS performs the functions of user plane processing and signaling control.

TCS Subrack
2/20/2012

The TCS processes CS services by performing the functions of voice adaptation and code conversion

BM/TC Combined Mode

In this configuration mode the BM and TC cabinets are Merged into one cabinets that will perform all the functions thus provide maximum integration , but the transcoder in this case cannot be adopted remotely.

Data Configuration Modes

The BSC6900 supports two data configuration modes: effective mode . ineffective mode. Effective mode If data configuration is performed on the BSC6900 in effective mode, then the relevant configuration data takes effect on the host boards in real time. Ineffective mode If data configuration is performed on the BSC6900 in ineffective mode, then the relevant configuration data takes effect only after the BSC6900 is reset or is switched to the effective mode.
