For the GMPS subrack, the line clock extracted on the Ater interface is used as the reference clock of this subrack or the system clock. When the GTCS is placed on the BSC side: optional . When the GTCS is placed on the MSC side: mandatory. The subrack is already configured with the required interface board. The interface board has a sub board. Before configuring the line clock for the GTCS subrack, you need to configure the GEIUA or GOIUA interface board. Before configuring the line clock for the GMPS subrack, you need to configure the GEIUT or GOIUT interface board.

The line clock of a GMPS subrack must be configured on the Ater connection path of this subrack. The line clock of a GTCS subrack must be configured on the A interface E1 of this subrack. The E1 interface board can be configured with two line clocks: line 0 and line 1. The optical interface board can be configured with only one line clock and the line clock must be configured on port 0. To configure the line clock for the GTCS, do as follows: Step 1 On the BSC Device Panel tab page, right-click the edge of the GTCS. A shortcut menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

Step 3 Set the related parameters, and then click Finish. ----End Verification Enter the Configure System Clock dialog box again, and the configured data is displayed. Check the data. Additional Information Clock Source The BSC6000 provides two types of clock source.

Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clock Line clock

Table 2 describes the clock source. Table 2 Clock source Clock Source BITS0 BITS1 LINE0 LINE1 The clock extracted from the A interface is 8K_HZ. The 8K_HZ signal transmits through the backplane of the GGCU.

Description Consists of 2M_HZ and 2M_Bps The anti-interference ability of 2M_Bps is higher than that of 2M_HZ.

Priority of the Clock Source

The BSC6000 provides four levels of clock source priority. Level 1 clock source has the highest priority. When configuring the clock source, pay attention to the following:

There is a one-to-one relationship between the clock source and the priority. The priority of a BITS clock is usually higher than that of a line clock. If the system clock uses a line clock, the GMPS must have been configured with the corresponding line clock. The BSC6000 usually uses the line clock.

Current Clock Source and Clock Switch Policies The BSC6000 requires only one clock source during operation. If the current clock source fails, it has to be switched to a normal clock source. The clock source has three work modes: AUTO, Manual, and Free Run.

Automatic: The system automatically selects the clock source that has the highest priority.

For example, if the level 3 clock source fails, the level 4 clock source is used. When the level 3 clock source recovers, the system automatically switches to the level 3 clock source. If all the clock sources fail, the system retains the current state and switches to AUTO mode after the clock sources recover.

Manual: The user specifies a clock source.

The system is not allowed to switch the clock resource even if the current clock source fails.

Free Run: initial work status of the system clock

13. Configuring the 8K Reference Clock

The configuration principle for internal connections is as follows: The cabinet groups are connected in one-to-one port mode. The connections are led from the main cabinet group to the extension cabinet group. At least one connection must be established between the main cabinet group and each extension cabinet group. To establish connections between cabinet groups in a BTS, do as follows: Step 1 In the Site Device Attributes dialog box refer to , click Site Inn Connect. Note If the added TRXs are in different cabinet groups, you must configure the inner connection of the cabinet groups. When adding TRXs, you can click Site Inner Connection in the Site Device Attributes dialog box to configure the inner connection. If the added TRXs are in different cabinet groups, you must configure the inner connection of the cabinet groups. When adding TRXs, you can click Site Inner Connection in the Site Device Attributes dialog box to configure the inner connection.
