Backup channel
There is a logical circuit between an active board and a standby board. Through the logical circuit, one
can query whether a board serves as the active board or the standby board and whether the
corresponding standby board or the corresponding active board is present. In addition, the logical circuit
can be used to perform a switchover. Under normal conditions, there is a service channel between the
active board and other boards. The service channel carries all services processed by the active board.
The active and the standby boards are connected through a backup channel. Through the backup
channel, the standby board synchronizes itself with the active board. In this manner, the standby board
can always obtain the latest data and maintain the consistency with the active board. When an automatic
switchover is triggered or a manual switchover is performed, the active and standby boards are switched
over. In such a case, the previously standby board takes over the role of the active board, and the
previously active board is reset. After taking over the role of the active board, the previously standby
board starts data configuration according to the backup data. The data configuration includes the
configuration of chips, transmission channels, operating system, and upper-level software. The
switchover does not affect the other boards that are connected to the previously active board. There is
also an operation&maintenance channel between the active and standby boards. This channel is not
depicted in the preceding figure.

4 Engineering Guidelines
4 Engineering Guidelines
The GCUa board must be installed in the Main Processing Subrack (MPS). The SCUa or the SCUb
boards in a subrack are automatically configured in the active/standby mode (to add a subrack, use the
ADD SUBRACK command). The TNUa boards are configured in the active/standby mode by default
whenever the TNUa boards are added. One is also advised to configure the INT boards, that is, interface
boards, in the active/standby boards. When interface boards are added, one is advised to set the
Backup parameter to YES(YES) and set the Slot No. parameter to the even slot number for the
interface board. In this way, two interface boards, one active and the other standby, are added at one
time.
