Chapter 3 - Shelves
When performing capacity expansion for ZXG10 iBSC that uses BUSN, BGSN can only be added as an entire one. It should be noticed that BUSN’s boards and BGSN’s boards can not be inserted in one shelf. The shelf configuration, principle, and backplane of ZXG10 iBSC differ in the case of using BUSN and the case of using BGSN. This chapter explains these shelves respectively according to the above two cases.
Backplane Backplane is an important part of a shelf. Circuit boards in a shelf connect through printed lines on the backplane. It reduces the cable routing on the back of backplane and improves reliability of the whole system. Figure 25 shows the backplane structure. F I G U R E 2 5 – B A C K P L A N E S T R U C T U R E 1

Configures rack information for the shelf
S3 only uses the left two digits
S1 only uses the left three digits S2 uses all four digits If all digits of S1 are ‘ON’ : the binary output is ‘000’; If all digits of S2 are ‘ON’: the binary output is ‘0000’;
Configures shelf information for the shelf
S3
If the left two digits of S3 are ‘OFF’ and the rest are ‘ON’: the binary output is ‘11’. Therefore, S1 output is 0, S2 output is 0, and S3 output is 3. The actual rack number and shelf number are 1 plus the output. Thus the above configuration indicates that the BCTC shelf is in: Shelf 4, Rack 1, Office 0.
Note: Backplanes BPSN, BCTC and BUSN all have DIP switches. The ON/OFF setting method is similar in all the backplanes. OFF: Indicates ‘1’ if DIP switch is down ON: Indicates ‘0’ if DIP switch is up The shelf information can also be configured through jumpers. One jumper represents a digit. There are three four-way jumper block, corresponding to information of the office, rack, and shelf, refer to Table 14 for detailed description. OFF: Indicates ‘1’ if the short-circuit block is pulled out ON: Indicates ‘0’ if the short-circuit is plugged in

Chapter 3 - Shelves
Resource shelf can be configured in many ways. The following is an example of resource shelf configuration, in which Abis interface adopts FE+E1, A-interface adopts E1, and Ater interface adopts E1, as shown in Figure 32. F I G U R E 3 2 – A N E X A M P L E O F R E S O U R C E S H E L F C O N F I G U R A T I O N
Configuration of boards in the resource shelf is described as follows:
UIMU boards (2) are inserted in slots 9 and 10, which are mandatory. DTB boards can be configured in any slot except the slots 9, 10, 15 and 16. SDTB boards can be configured in any slot except the slots 9 and 10. For non-active-standby configuration, it is better to configure SDTB board in slot 17, if SDTB board is configured in other slot, the adjacent active and standby slots must not be configured with boards that use HW cables, such as DTB and GUP. GUP, when used as BIPB/TIPB, can be configured in slots 5 ~ 8 or 11 ~ 14. If GUP is configured in slots 1 ~ 4, 15 ~ 16, the adjacent slots of active and standby GUP boards can be configured with boards not using user plane network ports, such as DTB and SDTB. When GUP is used as DRTB, it can be configured in any slot except the slots 9 and 10. SPB can be configured in any slot except slots 9 and 10. Slot 15 and slot 16 can not be configured with SPB at the same time. It is recommended to configure UPPB in slots 5 ~ 8 and 11 ~ 14. If UPPB is configured in slots 1 ~ 4, 15 ~ 16, the adjacent slots of active and standby UPPB boards can be configured with boards not using user plane network ports, such as DTB and SDTB.

Principle
BIPI board can be configured in slots 5 ~ 8 or 11 ~ 14. It is better to configure EIPI in slot 5 ~ 8 and 11 ~ 14. If EIPI is configured in active and standby slots, the adjacent slots can not be configured with boards using HW cables, such as DTB, SPB, and SDTB. If EIPI is configured in slots 1 ~ 4 and 15 ~ 16, the adjacent slots can not be configured with boards. When realizing all iBSC functions only through the resource shelf, OMP board must be configured and can be inserted in slots 11 and 12. In this case, CMP board is configured based on actual requirements and can be inserted in slots 13 and 14.

Packet switching shelf provides Level-1 IP switching platform for the ZXG iBSC system. It can either expand the user plane for multiple resource shelves or provide external high-speed interfaces directly. Each pair of GLIs provides eight pairs of active/standby optical interfaces. Thus three pairs of GLIs provide 24 pairs of optical interfaces to interconnect with the 24 pairs of active/standby optical interfaces of GUIMs of the six gigabit resource shelves. Each GUIM board fixedly uses two pairs of optical interfaces. Configuration of boards in the packet switching shelf is as follows:
UIMC (2, active and standby) boards implement Level-1 switching. They are inserted in slots 15 and 16, which are mandatory. PSN boards (2, load sharing) implement data switching between line cards. They are inserted in slots 7 and 8, which are mandatory. GLI boards (2 ~ 6, load sharing) implement GE line interface function. They can be inserted in slots 1 ~ 6. The number of GLI boards to be configured depends on the configuration capacity. GLI boards must be configured in pairs, and are added from the left to the right. CMP board (0 ~ 2, active and standby) can be inserted in slots 11 ~ 14. One pair of CMP boards is configured for every 1024 carriers. RUIM2 board (1) is inserted in slot 15, which are mandatory. RUIM3 board (1) is inserted in slot 16, which are mandatory.

Boards This chapter describes the functions and descriptions of ZXG10 iBSC boards.
Overview According to the hardware assembly relation, boards can be classified as front board and rear board.
Front board has a front panel. Indicators on the front panel indicate the board status. Front board can be inserted in the slots. Rear board consists of the external interfaces and debugging interfaces. These interfaces are used to interconnect shelves of same cabinet or different cabinets. The rear board and the front board work together. For some active/standby front board, it is necessary to configure two kinds of rear boards. Front board and rear board are installed in the slots on the backplane. Front board and rear board form a complete metal shield inside the shelf, reducing the external electromagnetic radiation of the system and enhancing the anti-interference capability.
Figure 61 shows the board assembly relation.

Flow direction of board data The uplink data flow direction is the opposite of the downlink data flow direction. The following takes the uplink data flow for example.
84
When it is used as BIPB, the TDM data accesses Abis interface, then it is distributed to DSP for processing through circuit switching unit, converted to IP data packet and sent to other board through Ethernet switching unit for processing. When it is used as DRTB, the voice data IP package from user plane Ethernet received by the interface unit is distributed to DSP for code transformation and rate adaptation, converted to PCM code flow and switched to trunk board by GUIM. When it is used as TIPB, the user plane data from UIM board is distributed to DSP through the Ethernet switching unit, converted to TDM data, and then sent to other board through the circuit switching unit for processing. When it is used as AIPB, the user plane data from GUIM board is distributed to DSP through the Ethernet switching unit for RTP protocol processing, , and then sent to other board through the Ethernet switching unit for processing.

Principle
Figure 93 shows the working principle of PWRD. F I G U R E 9 3 – W O R K I N G P R I N C I P L E O F P W R D
By structure, PWRD falls into the following parts: one PDM, one PWRD, one PWRDB and four fan group control modules.
PDM implements filter, lightning protection and isolation on 2-channel -48 V, sends it to the busbar to supply shelves, samples and sends the samples to PWRD for over-/undervoltage monitoring before the 2-channel power supply convergence. PWRD detects the 2-channel -48 V over-/under-voltage, speed of 24 fans, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, smoke alarm, infrared alarm, cabinet, and equipment room door control. PDM and PWRD form a power distribution plug-in box.
2 × 3 fan group and the fan group control module form a fan plug-in box. Fan plug-in box takes -48 V from the busbar and sends fan monitoring signals to PWRD.

S2 configuration switch is used to set working mode (normal or debugging), with ON being 0 and OFF being 1. ON is labeled on the switch. The default value of the configuration switch is 0100. Users need not set this DIP switch. S3 switch is used to set the communication address for 485 and OMP, with ON being 0 and OFF being 1. The default value of the switch is 0000. The 4-digit switch is used to set the 16 addresses (0-15), corresponding to the rack number where the board is.
There is a 2 × 5 feet pin on PWRD, serving as a connection jumper X8 for 485 signals. When ZXG10 iBSC system uses multiple cabinets, it is necessary to set the working mode for 485 bus of PWRD according to rack positions. Resistance terminals are necessary if PWRD is at the end of the 485 bus. 485 signals need to be transmitted to output if PWRD is at the middle of the bus. Figure 95 shows the default jumper settings.

Signaling Processing Board (SPB) Functions
According to functions realized, SPB can be used as LAPD processing board (LAPD), signaling processing board (SPB), and Gb interface processing board (GIPB).
When SPB is used as LAPD processing board, the LAPD signaling from BTS is accessed by DTB/SPB board, and switched to LAPD board through the circuit switching network on UIMU/UIMC board in the resource shelf. The LAPD board implements the LAPD processing. When SPB is used as signaling processing board, it processes MTP2 and X.25 protocol, and extracts 8 kHz synchronization clock from the line and transmits it through cables to CLKG as clock reference. When SPB is used as Gb interface processing board, it performs Gb interface function and implements GPRS FR and NS processing and part of BSSGP processing.

S1 and S2 indicate the receiving matching impedance and long/short haul state of each E1 chip respectively. The CPU retrieves the state and initializes the E1 chip according to the state. If S1 is OFF (1 is retrieved), it indicates long haul. If S1 is ON (0 is retrieved), it indicates short haul. If S2 is OFF (1 is retrieved), it indicates that the matching impedance is 120 Ω. If S2 is ON (0 is retrieved), it indicates that the matching impedance is 75 Ω. Channels 1–4 of S1/S2 respectively represent the E1 Chips 1–4 (namely, E1 channels 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–16).
Jumpers on RSPB SPB supports two types of external trunk cables: 75 Ω co-axial cables and 120 Ω balanced symmetric cables. There are four jumpers on the RSPB panel, as shown in Figure 104.

GPS-Related Equipments Global Position System (GPS) provides the clock and frequency reference for ZXG10 iBSC system. It also provides GPS satellite signal for the system to realize the Assisted Global Position System (AGPS). The GPS antenna feeder system can be realized by the following two solutions:
Feeder cable direct-connection solution
Indoor forwarding solution
GPS Active Antenna and Lightning Protector/Frequency Divider In feeder cable direct-connection solution and indoor forwarding solution, both the GPS active antenna and the lightning protector/frequency divider are used. In feeder cable direct-connection solution, the GPS active antenna is used as outdoor receiving antenna; while in indoor forwarding solution, the GPS active antenna is used as indoor receiving antenna.
Functions The GPS antenna receives GPS satellite navigation and positioning signals, and demodulates the frequency, clock signal, and AGPS information through GPS signal receiver. The clock signal is sent to relevant units in ZXG10 iBSC system while the AGPS information to the processing unit. The GPS antenna lightning protector/frequency divider uses dual-frequency-dividing coaxial cable protector, which is
