About This Chapter

There are two kinds of subrack in RNC:the RSS subrack and the RSS subrack.The RSS subrack
is configured in the RSR cabinet. The RNC must be configured with one RSS subrack. The RSS
subrack exchanges system data, performs the same service processing function as the RBS
subrack does, and provides timing signals for the system.
RSS Subrack
To be specific, the RSS subrack performs the following functions:
l
Connecting to all RBS subracks and transmitting data between the RBS subracks through
data switching on the MAC sublayer
Performing centralized processing of the data on the MBMS user plane
Providing timing signals for the system
Performing the same service processing function as the RBS subrack does
Supporting the Iub interface, Iur interface, and Iu interface
RBS Subrack
The functions of the RBS subrack are as follows:
l
Processing signaling on the control plane
Processing and distributing service data on the user plane and processing related protocols
Providing physical transmission on the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces
4.1 Components of the RNC Subrack

Both the RSS subrack and the RBS subrack use the 12 U shielding subrack of Huawei. The main
components of the subrack are the fan box , boards, and the front cable trough.
4.2 Fan Box
The heat dissipation of the cabinet mainly depends on the fan boxes. Each subrack is configured
with one fan box. The configuration of the fan box is classified into two modes: in the first mode,
the fan box is configed with the fan control unit(PFCU) and the power supply unit(PFPU); in
the second mode,the fan box is configed with the fan control board (PFCB) .

Board Installation
The board installation in the RSS subrack is the same as that in the RBS subrack. That is, the
backplane is positioned in the middle, and front and rear boards are installed on both sides of
the backplane, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Board installation
1 Front board
2 Backplane
3 Rear board
NOTE
Every two neighboring slots of the same side have an active/standby relationship. For example, slots
0 and 1 are active/standby slots. The same is true for slots 2 and 3. Boards that work in active/standby
mode must be installed in active and standby slots.
4.2 Fan Box

The heat dissipation of the cabinet mainly depends on the fan boxes. Each subrack is configured
with one fan box. The configuration of the fan box is classified into two modes: in the first mode,
the fan box is configed with the fan control unit(PFCU) and the power supply unit(PFPU); in
the second mode,the fan box is configed with the fan control board (PFCB) .
CAUTION
The fan box is the main part for heat dissipation. If you have to remove the fan boxes when the
system is running, you need to resume the work of the fan boxes within one minute. Otherwise,
the boards may be damaged due to high temperature.
This describes the components of fan box . The configuration of the fan box is classified into
two modes: in the first mode, the components of the fan box involve nine fans, the fan control
board (PFCB), and the LED that indicates the operational status of the fan box; in the second

mode, the components of the fan box involve nine fans, the power supply unit (PFPU), the fan
control unit (PFCU), and the LED that indicates the operational status of the fan box.
The LED STATUS is on the front panel of the fan box . The LED blinks red or green, indicating
different operational status of the fan box. One LED for each fan box.
4.2.3 DIP Switches on the PFCU Board
The PFCU board has one DIP switch. The DIP switch is SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP
switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board.
The PFCB board provides eight pairs of pins for jumpers. After being connected to jumpers,
these pins are used to set the address and working mode of the PFCB board..
4.2.5 Technical Specifications for the RNC Fan Box
The technical specifications for the RNC fan box refer to the space height, power supply,
maximum power, temperature range, and requirement for fan speed adjustment.

This describes the components of fan box . The configuration of the fan box is classified into
two modes: in the first mode, the components of the fan box involve nine fans, the fan control

Figure 4-8 RBS subrack in full configuration
NOTE
The slots that hold the SPUa board, the DPUb board, and the RINT board should conform to the following
principles:
l
The RINT board (interface board) can be the AEUa board, AOUa board, UOIa board, PEUa board,
POUa board, FG2a board, or GOUa board.
Slots 8 to 11 in RNC subrack can hold the SPUa board or DPUb board, and slots 14 to 19 in RNC
subrack can hold the RINT board or DPUb board.
The number of all the slots that hold the DPUb boards should be greater than the greatest number of
slot that holds the SPUa board, and at the same time smaller than the smallest number of slot that holds
the RINT board.
The number of the DPUb boards never depends on that of the SPUa boards. The DPUb boards within
the same subrack work in a resource pool mode. The DSP status is managed by the main processing
unit (MPU) subsystem that controls the SPUa board.
In full configuration, subrack 1 holds 5 pairs of SPUa, while other subracks hold 4 pairs.

Appearance of the DIP Switch

The DIP switches are located on the lower back of the RSS subrack and the RBS subrack, as
shown in 4.1 Components of the RNC Subrack .
Figure 4-9 shows the area of the DIP switch.

Description of DIP Switches

The DIP switch on the RNC subrack has eight bits. The higher the bit is, the more significant it
is. If the bit is set to "ON", it indicates "0". If the bit is set to OFF, it indicates "1". Table 4-5
provides the definitions of the bits.

Issue 04 (2009-08-25)
RNC
4 RNC Subrack
Bit
Meaning
8 (the highest bit)
Bit 8 can be set to either state. Different states, however, have different
meanings.
l
0: If bit 8 is set to 0, the SCUa board can be started only by the loading
on the OMUa board.
1: If bit 8 is set to 1, a loading request is sent to the OMUa board

before the SCUa board is started. If the OMUa board responds within
30s, the SCUa board is started by the loading on the OMUa board.
If the OMUa board fails to respond within 30s, the SCUa board is
started by the loading on Flash.
NOTE
For RNC, bit 8 is usually set to "1".
Setting Scheme
As the DIP switches use odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight DIP bits must be an odd
number. The setting should adhere to the following principles:
1.
Set DIP bits 1 through 5 and DIP bit 8.
2.
Set DIP bit 7 to "0".
3.
Count the number of 1s that have been set.

l
If the number of 1s is even, set DIP bit 6 to "1".
If the number of 1s is odd, set DIP bit 6 to "0".
Setting of DIP switches

Table 4-6 shows the setting of the DIP switches for the RNC subracks. Subrack 0 is an RSS

a standby SPUa board be installed in each RSS or RBS, thus enabling the two boards to work in
active/standby mode and improving reliability.
You can set the SPUa boards in slots 0, 2, 4, 8, 10 of the RSS or RBS to main control SPUa boards
by running the ADD BRD command and choosing RUCP (Resource Management and UMTS RNC
Control plane Process) in LGCAPPTYPE. After the setting succeeds, the SPUa board that has an
active/standby relation with the set board will be automatically switched to the standby board for the
main control SPUa board.
Main Control SPUa Board:

The main control SPUa board has four logical subsystems, as shown in Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4 Logical subsystems of the main control SPUa board
Subsystem 0 of the main control SPUa board is the Main Processing Unit (MPU). It is used to
manage the user panel resources, signaling panel resources, and the DSP status of this subrack.
The functions are detailed as follows:
l
Managing the user panel resources of this subrack, such as managing and allocating the L2
resources of the subrack. Managing the load sharing of the user panels between subracks.
Managing and allocating the loading of the control panel within a subrack; managing and
allocating the loading information sharing of the control panel between subracks.
Providing functions such as the logical main control function of the RNC, the IMSI-RNTI

PGND cables are used to ground the N68-21-N cabinet and its internal modules. They are
mandatory.
The PGND cables are mandatory for the N68-21-N cabinet. Each N68-21-N cabinet is
configured with one external PGND cable. When the cabinets are combined, three
interconnection PGND cables must be installed between every two adjacent cabinets. Other
PGND cables are already installed in the cabinet before delivery.

6 RNC Cables

The RNC optical cable is an optional configuration. It is used to connect the AOUa/POUa/GOUa/
UOIa board to the ODF or other NEs. The number of the optical cables to be installed in the
RNC depends on the site requirements.
According to the number of optical signals transmitted at a certain time, the optical cable can
be classified into single-mode optical cable and multi-mode optical cable. According to the types
of optical connectors at both ends of the cable, the optical cable can be classified into square
connector optical cable (LC/PC and SC/PC) and D-style optical cable (FC/PC).
NOTE
In actual installation, two optical cables are used together to receive and transmit optical signals.
When two optical cables are used together, attach temporary labels "1" to both ends of one optical cable
and temporary labels "2" to both ends of the other optical cable. For the two connectors marked with
the same number, one is the RX end and the other is the TX end. The two optical cables which are used
together are regarded as a pair of optical cables.
Appearance of Optical Cable

Figure 6-6 SC/PC optical connector
Figure 6-7 FC/PC optical connector
NOTE
The appearance of Multi-Mode optical connector is different from Single-Mode optical cable connector in
colourthe former is orange and the latter is yellow .
Installation
The LC/PC optical connector at one end of the optical cable is connected to the AOUa/POUa/
GOUa/UOIa board. The optical connector (LC/PC,SC/PC,FC/PC) at the other end of the optical
cable is connected to the ODF in the equipment room and then to another NE such as the NodeB,

CN, or another RNC through transmission equipment. The SC/PC optical connector can also be
connected to another NE directly.
For the connection of the optical cable, refer to line 74 in 3.6.3 Connections of Signal Cables
in RSR Cabinet and lines 82 and 83 in 3.6.4 Connections of Signal Cables in RBR
Cabinet.

The RNC straight-through cable is of two types: the shielded straight-through Ethernet cable
and the unshielded straight-through Ethernet cable(both the two types of cables are equipped
with the jacket). The shielded straight-through cable is used to connect the FG2a board to other
devices. In this case, the RNC straight-through cable is optional and the number of the cables

Components of the RNC Antenna System
About This Chapter

The components of the RNC antenna system consist of the satellite antenna, antenna support,
lightning arrester of the antenna, feeder and jumper.
The satellite antenna is used to transmit satellite signals to perform the global positioning and
clock synchronization. The antenna support is used to fix the satellite antenna and related
devices.
The lightning arresters of the antenna are classified into the lightning arrester on the antenna
side and the lightning arrester on the equipment side.
The feeder and jumper are used to connect the satellite antenna to the main equipment in the
cabinet.

The feeder and jumper are used to connect the satellite antenna to the main equipment in the
cabinet.
The feeder and jumper are used to transmit the signal energy between the antenna and the main
equipment in the cabinet at the minimum loss.
l
The softer the jumper, the larger the loss. Normally, the jumper is used for connection over
a short distance or between bending cables. The 1/2" jumper is commonly used.
The harder the feeder, the smaller the loss. Normally, the feeder is used for connection over
a long distance. The 7/8" and 5/4" feeders are commonly used.
When the distance between the satellite antenna and the main equipment is different, use a feeder
or jumper of a different specification. Table 7-1 lists the mapping between the distance and the
specification of a feeder or jumper.

30s, the SCUa board is started by the loading on the OMUa board.
If the OMUa board fails to respond within 30s, the SCUa board is
started by the loading on Flash.
NOTE
For RNC, bit 8 is usually set to "1".
Setting Scheme
As the DIP switches use odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight DIP bits must be an odd
number. The setting should adhere to the following principles:
1.
Set DIP bits 1 through 5 and DIP bit 8.
2.
Set DIP bit 7 to "0".
3.
Count the number of 1s that have been set.

l
If the number of 1s is even, set DIP bit 6 to "1".
If the number of 1s is odd, set DIP bit 6 to "0".
Setting of DIP switches

Table 9-2 shows the setting of the DIP switches for the RNC subracks. Subrack 0 is an RSS
subrack. Subracks 1 to 5 are RBS subracks.
