The automatic DIP bit of the GSCU board in the central subrack is: 0, the starting of boards is highly dependent on the GBAM server, namely that the boards load from the server after starting. 1, the starting of boards is less dependent on the GBAM server, namely that the boards check the validity of the Flash file when starting, and load from the Flash file if the Flash file is valid or load from the server if the Flash file is invalid.
Page 25
The odd parity check is used for DIP. In the

eight DIP bits, the quantity of 1 must be odd. Use the following method to set: First set the
DIP bit 15 and 8. DIP bit 7 is generally 0.

Then count the quantity of 1 in the current DIP bits. If the quantity is even, set DIP bit 6 as 1. If the quantity is odd, set DIP bit 6 as
0.

Building Integrated Timing Supply System (BITS) There are two types of BITS clock: 2 MHz clock and 2 Mbit/s clock. The 2 Mbit/s clock source has higher anti-interference capabilities than the 2 MHz clock source. Line clock The line clock extracted from the A interface is processed and generates 2 MHz clock and 8 kHz clock. The 2 MHz clock signals output from the A interface panel and then are sent to the GGCU board in the GMPS subrack. Note: The R01 does not support this clock. Local free-run clock

Clock Subsystem
GGCU Reference Clock Input To input the active-standby clock of the GGCU, you can use the signals provided by the BITS and the 2.048MHz clock signal extracted from the upper-level clock by the interface panel in the service subrack. The GGCU backplane uses the interface panel of the same subrack to extract the 8 KHz clock signals from the upper-level clocks. Reference Clock for the GMPS or GEPS The reference clocks are provided by the GGCU. The reference clocks generate 8kHz clock signals through the GGCU. GMPS: The clock signals are sent to the GSCU in the GMPS subrack through the backplane. Then, the clock signals are sent to other boards in the same subrack. GEPS: The clock signals are sent to the GSCU board in the GEPS subrack through the clock cable. Then, the signals are sent to other boards through the backplane. Reference Clock for the GTCS Each GTCS extracts line clock from the A interface. The link clock is processed through A interface panel and then generates 8 KHz clock signals. The clock signals are sent to the GSCU in the subrack through the backplane. Then the clock signals are sent to other boards in the same subrack.

Software Loading
The loading process is the process that a board obtains program files and data files after the service subrack or the board starts or restarts.
The BSC6000 software loading control system has two layers:

The GBAM is the first-level center of the entire BSC software loading management. The loading and power-on of the GBAM are independent of other boards. The GBAM processes the loading control requests of the GSCU in the GMPS. The GSCU in the GMPS is the second-level center of the loading control system. The GSCU processes the loading control requests of the service boards in the GMPS, GEPS, and GTCS.

Loading Software to the GSCU Board

The process of the software loading for the GSCU in GMPS is as follows:
1.
After the GSCU starts up, it broadcasts the BOOTP request.

If the GBAM is online, it processes and responds to the request. If the GBAM is not started or is offline, the GSCU starts up and loads data from its own flash memory, acts as a second-level loading control center, and then processes the BOOTP requests of the other boards.
2.
After receiving the response from the GBAM, the GSCU determines whether to obtain the
latest application files from the GBAM based on the loading control characters and the software version in the flash memory.
3.
If the GSCU needs to obtain the program files from the GBAM, it obtains the program software from the software area in the GBAM and writes it into the flash. It then loads the software from the flash.
4.
After the program files are loaded, the GSCU starts to load the data files. The loading process of the data files is the same as that of the program files.
HUAWEI Confidential
Page 68
Loading Software to the Other Boards in GMPS/GEPS

After the software of the GSCU is loaded, the loading of the software for the other boards in the subrack starts. 1. 2. 3. After a board is started, it broadcasts the BOOTP request. The request contains the physical address of this board and the software version information stored in the flash. After the GSCU receives the BOOTP request, it transparently transmits this request to the GSCU in the GMPS if the subrack is not the GMPS. The GSCU in the GMPS calculates the IP address of the board based on the physical address of the board, and then obtains the loading control character from the configuration data of the board.
If the loading control character is Load from Flash, then the GSCU in the GMPS responds to the BOOTP request. The response carries the IP address and the loading control character, notifying the board to obtain the program files from the flash and load them. If the loading control character is Auto, then the GSCU in the GMPS determines whether the software version in the flash of this board is consistent with that in the software area of the GBAM, and then responds to the BOOTP request. The response carries the IP address and the loading control character. If the loading control character is Load from Server, then the GSCU directly downloads the
application files from the version section on the GBAM.

Loading Software to the Other Boards

4. 5. 6. After the program files run, the board sends a LOAD request to the GSCU in the GMPS to
query the files except the program files.

The GSCU in the GMPS returns a file list to the board. Based on the file list, the board responds to the GSCU with the file version information in the flash. The GSCU compares the version information and responds to the board with the information (carrying the GBAM address) about the files to be updated.
7.
The board downloads the files from the software area in the GBAM and loads them.

Loading Software to the Boards in a Remote GTCS

The GSCU in the main GTCS is a second-level loading control center. The loading of the remote GTCSs can be independent on the Ater O&M link to some extent. When the Ater O&M link is broken, the GSCU in the main GTCS processes the loading requests from the boards in the subrack. When the Ater O&M link is normal, the GSCU in the GMPS processes all the loading requests from the remote GTCSs and the GSCU in the GTCS stops working as a loading control center.
The software loading for a remote GTCS consists of: Loading Software to the GSCU Loading Software to the other boards The process of loading software to the remote service boards is similar to that of loading software to the local service boards. The differences are as follows: The files downloaded from the GBAM are first saved in the remote loading control center before being downloaded to the other boards. The remote service boards download files through Ater O&M links, which work in active/standby mode. The bandwidth of each Ater O&M link is 164 kbit/s to 3064 kbit/s.

Connection of Alarm Box

Connection scheme: The alarm box accesses LMT client through serial ports When an alarm is reported, the LMT uses the convert program to drive the alarm box to generate visual and audio indications. The user performs alarm box management, such as terminating alarm sounds and disabling alarm indicators.

Configuration Principles
The GEIU/GOIU provide E1 port or STM-1 port. To ensure the orderliness of rack, insert the GEIU /GOIU boards at the rear of slots. The Abis interface supports four mulitiplexing modes, including 4: 1, 3: 1, 2: 1, and 1: 1. Each GEIUB board at most supports 256 Lapd links The proportion between the number of the Ater interface boards and that of A interface boards is 1: 4, so that the multiplexing capability of the Ater interface can be supported. Each GDPUC board can processes 968-way voice. The GDPUC board uses N+1 redundancy configuration. All the TC resources are shared through the resource pool.
