Introduction to the GBTS3900 IP

Site
The GBTS3900 IP site is different from the GBTS3900 TDM site. For details about the
GBTS3900 TDM site, see its development guide.
1.1 HDLC Site

The High level Data Link Control (HDLC) site is developed on the basis of the existing
GBTS3900 Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) site. An HDLC site does not change a lot in
the system architecture and division of subsystems. Only one new feature is added to optimize
the transmission through the Abis interface.
Traditionally, the Abis interface works in TDM mode. Each service channel, radio signaling
link (RSL), and operation and maintenance link (OML) are separately allocated by 16 K or 64
K sub-timeslot over E1. Even if no service is transmitted over the current service channel, the
sub-timeslot allocated to it over E1 is still in use. Other service channels, RSLs, or OMLs
cannot use the sub-timeslot. The introduction of the FlexAbis function helps to allocate the
transmission resources over the Abis interface for service channels according to service
requirements. When the current service channel is idle, the Abis interface does not allocate
Abis transmission resources to it. This realizes time-based multiplexing of the Abis
transmission resources. The prerequisite of the multiplexing is that some service channels are
idle in different cells or sites.
The function of Abis transmission optimization over the Abis interface achieves the
multiplexing of transmission resources through HDLC. The function increases the number of
transceivers (TRXs) over each E1. Each E1 supports up to 24 TRXs. (There are restrictions: a.
full rate voice service; b. The voice active factor is 0.5; c. Cascaded Base Transceiver Stations
(BTSs) do not exist over a single E1.) The prerequisite of the multiplexing is that mass mute
frames or idle opportunities exist in a service channel. The multiplexing is no more based on
some idle service channels. Therefore, the function does not have additional restrictions on
services. After Abis transmission is optimized, the transmission resources over E1 or T1, such
as single 64 K sub-timeslots, multiple consecutive 64 K sub-timeslots, or multiple
nonconsecutive 64 K sub-timeslots are incorporated into an HDLC channel based on the 64 K
sub-timeslot through the Abis interface. The OMLs, RSLs, and Transcoding and Rate
Adaptation Unit (TRAU) links are multiplexed over the same HDLC. Compared with the
TDM resource, the HDLC resource is a shared resource for multiple user flows. When
sending and receiving signals over an RSL, OML, or TRAU link, an HDLC site must adapt to
INTERNAL
the multiplexing mechanism. In downstream direction, the site needs to obtain its site
information from the HDLC channel. In upstream direction, the site needs to share the
resource sent through the HDLC channel.
1.2 HDLC HUB Site

Due to existing restrictions on site design, the Abis transmission resources cannot be directly
multiplexed across sites. To support the convergence of the Abis transmission resources of
multiple sites, a transmission module is introduced to the GTMU.
The cross-site convergence of Abis transmission resources is achieved through the new
transmission module. All timeslots of each E1 or T1 between the Base Station Controller
(BSC) and the GTMU can be incorporated into a single HDLC channel. The BTSs at the
GTMU level and the OMLs, RSLs, and TRAU links of multiple branch BTSs can be
multiplexed through the HDLC channel.
The transmission module implements the exchange of upstream packets from the GTMU to
the TRX over an OML, RSL, and TRAU. The transmission module also implements the
exchange of upstream data to the Abis interface over E1. In addition, the transmission module
implements BSC loopback and BTS loopback.
1.3 IP Site
The IP site is different from the HDLC site. The transmission network between the BSC and
the IP site is carried over IP. The control plane and the service plane are carried according to
the optimized Abis transmission solution.
Compared with traditional networks, the IP network is competitive in new service support,
high bandwidth, and networking costs. The advantages are described as follows:
High performance, such as bandwidths of 100 Mbit/s and 1000 Mbit/s resolving the
bottleneck of 2 Mbit/s based transmission, high forwarding capabilities, and high
efficiency
Flexible maintenance, such as simple operation and maintenance over IP, flexible routing
configuration, and ease of disaster tolerance
Cost effectiveness, such as low costs of network building and maintenance, developed IP
technology, time-saving network building
Evolution in line with all-IP networks
Between the BSC and the BTS, the Abis interface uses IP over FE for transmission. The
DPTU transmission module implements the exchange of upstream packets from the GTMU to
the TRX over an OML, RSL, and TRAU. The transmission module also implements the
exchange of upstream packets to the Fast Ethernet (FE). In addition, the transmission module
implements BSC loopback and BTS loopback.
In IP transmission mode, the software version supports only the electrical-port communication instead of
the optical-port communication and IP over E1.
After obtaining the IP address through DHCP, the IP site automatically learns the gateway address. As
only one gateway address can be obtained, you must ensure that all the devices that communicate with
the BTS (for example, IPCLK Server) use the gateway address.

Networking Modes of IP Site
2.1 Concepts
2.1.1 IP Address and Mask
Device IP: Generally, the IP address identifies only one interface. If a device has multiple
interfaces, multiple IP addresses must be configured for the device. For the purpose of clear
management, the device IP address is introduced to logically identify a device, for example,
BTS. When the BTS communicates with the BSC, the device IP address is used to transmit
data.
Port IP: It refers to the IP address of the physical port on the BTS BBU.
Subnet mask: It is a 32-bit numeral corresponding to the IP address. Generally, the more
significant bits of the subnet mask are continuous 1s and the less significant bits are
continuous 0s. The subnet mask divides the IP address into two parts: subnet IP address and
host IP address. In the IP address and subnet mask, the part corresponding to bit 1 is the
subnet IP address and the part corresponding to other bits is the host IP address.
To check whether two IP addresses are on the same network segment, AND the two IP
addresses with their own subnet masks. If the operation results are the same, the two IP
addresses are on the same network segment.
For example:
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 is divided into two subnets as follows:
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.128 and 192.168.1.128/255.255.255.128
The 255.255.255.128 subnet mask is a 25-bit mask. The 192.168.1.0 network segment is
divided into two subnets, and each subnet has 126 IP addresses.
In practice, to save IP address resources, the customer requires a large subnet mask (for
example, 29-bit or 30-bit subnet mask) and about 10 IP addresses on each network segment.
Therefore, when configuring IP addresses, you must check whether they are on the same
network segment. As a route is required for communication between network segments, the IP
communication may fail due to no route configuration.
2.1.2 Route and Routing Table

Route: A router is required for route selection in a network. Based on the destination address
of a received packet, the router selects a proper route and transmits the packet to the next
router across a network. The last router in the path is responsible for transmitting the packet to
the destination host.
Routing table: The routing information is maintained by a routing table. The routing table
contains the following key items:
2015-3-9
Huawei Confidential
Page 15 of 129
INTERNAL
Destination address: It identifies the destination address of an IP packet or the destination

network.
Subnet mask: The subnet mask, together with the destination address, identifies the
address of the network segment of the destination host or router. That is, the address of
the network segment of the destination host or router can be obtained by ADDing the
destination address with the subnet mask.
Outgoing port: It refers to the port of the router through which an IP packet is forwarded.
IP address of next hop: It indicates the next router that an IP packet reaches. The address
is called a gateway address on the BSC.
2.1.3 DHCP Relay

The BTS obtains an IP address from the BSC through DHCP. A DHCP DISCOVER packet is
transmitted in the form of broadcast. In layer 2 networking mode, the BTS can directly obtain
an IP address from the BSC. In layer 3 networking mode, the DHCP relay must be configured
on the router closest to the BTS.
The DHCP relay can forward DHCP broadcast packets. When the BTS and BSC are not in the
same subnet, the DHCP relay can convert broadcast packets from the BTS to unicast packets
and transmit them to the BSC over the LAN of the BSC. For configuration details, see 2.2.1
IStep 1Figure 1.1.
2.2 Recommended Networking Scenarios

Networking description:
The BSC is directly connected to Router A and Router B with FE&GE cables. Router A
is a master router, and Router B is a slave router.
The FE/GE interface board of the BSC is FG2a, and the GE port is recommended.
The clock reference source of the BTS can be GPS, IPCLOCK, or MSTP.
One IP clock server supports a maximum of 512 IP sites.
The data network is capable of convergence, and no reconstruction is required.
The number of BTSs in each VLAN should not exceed 50.
There is only one subnet segment in a VLAN.
One or more VLANs are configured on a router port.
VLAN tags are attached by the switching equipment on the access side (the versions
later than V100R008C11 support VLAN).
The transmission network between the L3 equipment and BTS requires VLAN, QoS, and
DHCP relay. The functions, together with wireless equipment, form a complete solution.
Requirements for the BSS and transmission network

On the BSC side:

Redundancy configuration: The BSC boards work in active/standby mode, and the
corresponding ports on the active and standby boards work in active/standby mode. It is
recommended that you directly connect the BSC to the routers for L3 networking.
IP address configuration: IP1 is the IP address of the BSC interface that is used to carry
services and signaling, and a 29-bit mask is used for the IP address.
Detection mechanism: The ARP detection is enabled on the active port. The gateway IP
address to be detected is VRRP Virtual IP and the expiry time is three seconds. If no ARP
packet is received successively three times, an alarm is reported. The interface addresses
from the active and standby ports to the routers are detected by physical ports.
On the BTS side:
The redundancy mechanism is not used on the BTS side.
The port IP address is recommended.
On the transmission device side:
Router port configuration:
Port1, Port2, Port3, Port4, Port5, and Port6 are configured to work in Portswitch mode
and belong to VLAN A. Port2, Port5, Port4, and Port6 are bound to a trunk and Permit
all VLAN is configured.
Port7 and Port8 are routing ports and the dynamic routing protocol is enabled.

The BSC is accessed to the transmission network through FE&GE. The FE&GE traffic is
converged to an OSN across two routers.
The transmission equipment uses EVPLAN for networking.
The interface types used by the BTS include FE.
The clock reference source of the BTS can be line or IPCLOCK.
The VLAN configuration is recommended. VLAN tags are attached by the switching
equipment or transmission equipment, and the VLAN is transparent to wireless
equipment.

services and signaling.
Detection mechanism: The ARP detection is enabled on the active port. The gateway IP
address to be detected is VRRP Virtual IP and the expiry time is three seconds. If no ARP
packet is received successively three times, an alarm is reported. The interface addresses
from the active and standby ports to the routers are detected by physical ports.
On the BTS side:
Port configuration: The ports on Router A and Router B are routing ports, and the
dynamic routing protocol is enabled between Router A and Router B.
MSTP configuration: The MSTP equipment uses board-level BPS protection.
The router works with the MSTP equipment for BPS switchover. As only one port on the two
routers that are connected to the MSTP equipment is UP, one router in VRRP2 is a master
router and the other router is an initial router.
Configuration
Figure 1.1 shows the configurations of the port IP addresses and device IP address of the
BSC, and a BTS is to be created in the subnet that is separated by multiple routers from the
subnet of the BSC.

Configure the IP address of the BTS as an IP address on the subnet segment of the BTS.
If the subnet segment of the BTS is 192.12.12.1/24, you can specify any idle IP address
in the range of 192.12.12.1 to 192.12.12.254 to the BTS.
Configure a route on the BSC. The destination IP address is the IP address of the BTS
and the next hop is the IP address of port A of Router B. The data sent by the BSC to the
BTS can be sent to Router B through the route. Figure 1.2 shows the route configuration
on the BSC.

The FG2a provides the GE optical port for the BSC.
The VLAN configuration is recommended. VLAN tags are attached by the transmission
equipment to ports, and the VLAN is transparent to wireless equipment.
The clock reference source of the BTS is a line clock.
Requirements for the BSS and transmission equipment

On the BSC side:
Redundancy configuration: The BSC uses the GE interface boards. The boards work in
active/standby mode, and the corresponding ports on the active and standby boards work
in active/standby mode (or link aggregation can be used to provide higher reliability).
services and signaling.
Detection mechanism: physical detection.
On the BTS side:
The MSTP equipment uses the GE (HUAWEI OSN: EMS4) interface board, and the port
PPS protection is configured.
The transmission network is a ring network that provides higher reliability.
When the port on the OSN is deactivated, the active and standby ports are simultaneously
deactivated. In this case, the transmission is disconnected. Therefore, you cannot deactivate
the port.
Configuration

2.2.3 MSTP Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: EVPL Limited Standby Solution
Advantages:
A VLAN is configured for each BTS. As the VLANs are used to distinguish BTSs and
paths, the network structure is clear, the configuration is simple, and the internal faults
can be located easily.
On the BTS side, the transmission equipment divides VLANs for wireless services by
ports. On the BSC side, VLAN tags are attached for services by BTSs.
The VLAN isolation ensures network security and no broadcast storm occurs.
Disadvantages:
2015-3-9
Huawei Confidential
Page 25 of 129
INTERNAL
Too many VLANs are required. If independent VLANs are configured for the OM, the
consumption of VLAN resources is larger. In addition, the BSC is required to have
higher VLAN capability.
The VLAN ID must be unique. If the VLANs are reused between regions, the planning
and configuration are very difficult.
When the wireless side and transmission side are based on VLAN tight coupling, an
error easily occurs, the flexibility is poor, and the expansion and adjustment in the future
are very difficult.
Scenario 2: EVPLAN
Advantages:
2015-3-9
Huawei Confidential
Page 26 of 129
INTERNAL
As the MAC address switching is used, the VLAN quantity is reduced. In this case, the
site launching and swapping are easier and the speed is quicker.
It is unnecessary to set up an end-to-end unique VLAN channel for each BTS. In this
case, manual configuration errors in the wireless and MSTP networks can be reduced.
Disadvantages:
When a packet is forwarded on the basis of the MAC address in the MSTP network, the
problem location and the maintenance are difficult.
To prevent the port loopback from affecting services, you need to disable the loopback
on any port (including Ethernet port and VCTRUNK optical cable) or upgrade the MSTP
network to support the Ethernet OAM feature that automatically blocks the port
loopback.
The EVPLAN solution is recommended to save VLAN resources and reduce the
configuration complexity. The networking details are as follows:
MSTP uses 2-level convergence, and the EVPLAN solution is used for both level 1 and
level 2. EGS4 is mapped on the basis of MAC and VC.
The OSN and CE use the BPS+VRRP networking mode. To prevent the network storm
and identify the L2 priority, you are advised to assign one VLAN ID to a maximum of 50
BTSs under a BSC.
The Ethernet port of the transmission equipment at the access layer is configured to work
in Hybrid mode for commissioning before site launching.
You are advised to configure one VLAN for the BTSs under two pairs of EGS4s in the
level 1 convergence (in the level 1 convergence, a pair of EGS4s support a maximum of
64 BTSs). The IP addresses are planned on the same network segment so that the CE
attaches VLAN tags based on the IP addresses.
In the level 2 convergence, one BSC is configured with a pair of EGS4s. In phase 1, each
pair of boards are configured with a pair of GE ports. For the later expansion, two pairs
of GE ports are configured.
The VLAN tags of downlink services on the BSC side are attached by the layer 3
equipment based on the destination IP address, and the VLAN tags of uplink services on
the BTS side are attached by the transmission equipment based on ports.
2.2.4 PTN Equipment

The PTN is a new generation metropolitan fiber transmission platform which adopts the
packet transmission mode.
The emerging application of data services has an increasing demand on the bandwidth, and
poses higher and higher requirements for the flexibility of the bandwidth adjustment.
As a traditional circuit switched network, the multiple service transmission network, which is
based on the SDH, can hardly meet the requirements of the unexpected and flexible data
services.
In traditional connectionless IP network, the quality and performance of the important
services can not be ensured. Therefore, the traditional connectionless IP network cannot serve
as the carrier-class bearer network.
The PTN applies the PWE3 (Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge-to-Edge) technology to carry the
connection-oriented services. To optimize the carrier-class bearer network, the PTN uses the
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology together with the comprehensive
Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functions and the switching protection

2.3 Clock
The clock synchronization solution of the GSM IP BSS is related to the networking solution.
The actual network involves the following clock modes:
IP clock: The IP clock server is connected to support a maximum of 512 clients.
Trace transport clock: The E1 line is connected.
External synchronization clock: The clock source is connected.
Trace GPS clock: The DGPS of the BSC is connected.
2.3.1 Setting the Clock Mode of a Site

You can set the clock mode by one of the following two methods:
Method 1
Step 1 Right-click the GTMU of the BTS whose clock mode is to be changed, and then choose
Maintain Clock from the shortcut menu. In the Maintain Clock dialog box, right-click the

Figure 1.1 Set Clock Information dialog box
The clock modes are explained as follows:
Internal clock: The BTS does not trace the external clock, and the internal high-precision
clock works in free-run mode.
External synchronization clock: The internal high-precision clock of the BTS traces the
external synchronization clock signals.
IP clock: The BTS synchronizes the clock with the IP clock server through the IP
network.
Trace transport clock: If the E1 transmission mode is upgraded to the IP transmission

mode and no IP clock is available, the BTS can extract the clock through the E1 line on
the transmission network.
Trace GPS clock: The BTS extracts and synchronizes the clock from the GPS through
the DGPS.
Trace BSC clock: The internal high-precision clock signals of the BTS trace the clock
signals from the BSC.
The differences between the transmission modes are as follows:
2015-3-9
If the IP transmission mode is used, Trace Transport Clock can be configured and
Trace BSC Clock cannot be configured.
If the non-IP transmission mode is used, Trace BSC Clock can be configured and Trace
Transport Clock cannot be configured.
The BTS obtains the clock signals from the E1 port regardless of whether Trace BSC
Clock or Trace Transport Clock is configured.
When Trace BSC Clock is configured, you do not need to configure the E1 port from
which the clock signals are obtained.
When Trace Transport Clock is configured, you need to configure the E1 port from
which the clock signals are obtained.

The trace modes are explained as follows:
If Disable Trace Range Limit is selected, the BTS always traces the upper-level
reference clock.
If Enable Trace Range Limit is selected and |f| 2 Hz, the reference clock is traced. If
Enable Trace Range Limit is selected and |f| > 2 Hz, the internal clock works in freerun mode and the reference clock is not traced.

3.4 Adding an IP Site

To support an IP site, you need to add the GFGUB (an IP Abis interface board) on the
BSC6000. For details, see the related BSC6000 deployment guide.
This topic describes how to add an IP site. This procedure consists of the following
operations:
Adding an IP Site on the BSC6000 LMT > Installing the BBU > Adding a Physical
Connection Between the Site and the BSC > Configuring the Transmission Network >
Powering On and Checking Status > Loading and Upgrading Software
The BSC provides the port IP address and the device IP address for communication with the
BTS. Figure 1.1 lists the comparison between the two communication modes. For details, see
the related BSC6000 deployment guide.
Figure 1.1 Comparison between the port IP address and the device IP address
Advantage
Port IP Address
Device IP Address
1. The configuration is simple.
When a physical link is faulty, the

communication mode is simpler to
implement mutual aid between links
and ensure that services are not
affected.
2. The port IP address is visible

to the intermediate transmission
network.
3. When the port IP address
serves as a service IP address,
fewer addresses are required.
Disadvantage
When a physical link is faulty,

the communication mode is more
complex to implement mutual
aid between links and ensure that
services are not affected.
1. A static route to the device IP

address must be configured.
2. When the L3 transmission
equipment exists between the BTS and
the BSC, the route to the device IP
address must be known. In this case,
the requirements for the transmission
network are high.
3. When the device IP address serves
as a service IP address, more addresses
are required.
3.4.1 Obtaining the Bar Code of a Site

The bar code uniquely identifies a site in the BSC. Before adding an IP site, you need to
obtain the bar code of the site. The bar code is marked in three places of the BBU subrack, as
shown in the yellow areas in Figure 1.1 (another place is the bottom of the subrack). The bar
code of the BBU subrack is the bar code of the site (20 bits), as shown in the red area in
Figure 1.2.
If the bar code is configured improperly on the BSC, the BTS cannot obtain an IP address through
DHCP. During the deployment, you must ensure that the bar code of the BBU is consistent with that
configured on the BSC.

When the BSC6000 communicates with the BTS through the device IP address or the port IP address,
the configurations on the BTS side are the same.
When the active and standby GFGUBs are used, a switch must be configured between the BSC and BTS
(that is, the ports with the same number on the active and standby GFGUBs are connected to the switch).
Generally, the data configuration is performed for the active board, and the BSC automatically backs up
the data to the standby board.

slot 20 and uses #5 upper-level port. (The numbering of ports starts with 0.) Therefore, you
should connect the sixth port of the GFGUB board from top down to the port of the IP site.

Ensure that the connection is normal from the port of the site to the port of the BSC.
You can use the following method to test the connectivity:
Step 1 Connect the network cable from the FE0 port of the TMU board to a PC.
Step 2 Change the IP address of the PC to the address set for the FE0 port of the TMU board.
Step 3 On the PC, run the ping command to ping the physical IP address of the GFGUB board
corresponding to the BSC.
If the ping is successful, it indicates that the physical connection is normal. Otherwise, check
the network cable. You can use the same method to test the FE1 port.
The details are as follows:
Figure 1.1 Ping connection
Check the continuity between the BSC and the BTS when the optical interface board of
the BSC is used.
The optical signals from the optical interface board of the BSC can be accessed to the
optical transmission network of the customer in two modes: direct access or access
through optical switching. As the BTS3900 does not support an optical transmission
connection currently, there must be an optical and electrical switch on the BTS side.
To check whether the transmission link is normal, do as follows:
(1) Connect a PC to the switch that is accessed by the BTS.
(2) Ping the interface board of the BSC.
(3) Ping the PC on the BSC.
If the preceding ping operations are successful, it indicates that two interfaces of the
BSC and the BTS on the transmission network can communicate with each other. If a
link cannot be set up on the site, you need to check the BSC configuration, physical
connections of the BTS, and board status. You can capture packets on the switch on the
BTS side and feed them back to the R&D personnel for analysis.
2015-3-9
Huawei Confidential
Page 112 of 129

If the ping operations are failed, you can add a switch on the BSC side and connect a PC
to the switch. Then, ping the PCs on the BTS side and the BSC side. If the ping
operation is successful, you need to check the physical connections of the BSC. If the
ping operation is still failed, you can request the network engineer of the customer to
check whether the transmission network properly allocates resources.
Check the continuity between the BSC and the BTS when the electrical interface board
of the BSC is used.
The check method is basically the same as that for the optical transmission.
Note: If the transmission network is abnormal, an optical and electrical switch may be
required so that a PC is connected to the switch for pinging and packet capturing.
The transmission network is very complex and may contain NEs of multiple vendors.
Currently, there is no effective and accurate location method for a transmission link fault.
In practice, if the transmission link is faulty, you can only perform loopback tests for the
entire transmission network section by section to find faulty nodes.

to an IP Site
to an IP site, you must ensure that the GFGUB is available on the BSC side. If no GFGUB is
available on the BSC rack, you need to insert the board and then complete the configuration.
You can upgrade a TDM site on the existing network to an IP site by one of the following two
methods: 1. Upgrade a TDM site on the existing network to an IP site by the site movement
function; 2. Directly build an IP site.
When the TDM site works normally, you can run the DSP ELABLE command (with the
subrack number set to 0 and the slot number set to 23) to obtain the bar code of the BTS.
DSP ELABEL: DEVTYPE=BTSBRD, IDXTYPE=BYIDX, BTSIDX=73, SRN=0, SN=23;
The IP functions of the BTS3900 are supported in V100R008 and later versions. If the current
version does not support the IP functions, you must upgrade the current version to the version that
supports the IP functions in TDM mode.
If the BSC corresponding to the TDM site and the BSC corresponding to the target IP site are
located in different places, method 1 cannot be used because that different BSC racks are involved.
In this case, only method 2 can be used.
Generally, the BTS and BSC are placed in different places. For convenient construction, the upgrade
procedure consists of the operations on the BTS side and those on the BSC side. The operations on
the BTS side are mainly to connect network cables. The operations on the BSC side are to upgrade
the software version of the BTS on the BSC6000 LMT, configure the BSC GFGUB and
corresponding ports, and move the BTS on the BSC6000 LMT.
If an external PCU is configured for GPRS services in a cell under the TDM site, you must disable
the GPRS services under the site. Otherwise, the configuration for site movement fails.
Method 1: Upgrade a TDM site on the existing network to an IP site by the site
movement function
Step 1 Select the GFGUB of the BSC corresponding to the target IP site and the available port of the
GFGUB, and then configure related IP addresses for the BSC. For details, see Step 1 through
Step 3 in 3.4.2 "Adding an IP Site on the BSC6000 LMT."
Step 2 Connect the transmission cable between the BSC and the BTS (for details, see 3.4.4

5.2 FAQ
5.2.1 IP Site Problems
Problem Description
After an IP site is set up, it does not work for a long time.
Network management software indicates that the port of the optical transceiver for the IP site
is not connected.
Cause Analysis
The IP site is probably not powered on.
The network cable between the optical transceiver and the IP site is probably faulty.
Solution
Take a new network cable and tools to the site. The on-site survey indicates that the
construction teams failed to prepare a quality network cable. Replace the existing network
cable with a new one. The connection is normal.
5.2.2 HDLC Site Problems

Problem Description
After an HDLC site is configured and the E1 line is connected, the site link fails to be set up.
Cause Analysis
A check on the BSC6000 LMT indicates that the HDLC site is attached to port 4 of the BSC
PIU board whereas the E1 line is inserted to port 5 of the PIU board.
Solution
Insert the E1 line to port 4.
