5.3.4
Replaci
ng the
GTMU

l If a multimode base station supports co-transmission and the shared ports for
co-transmission are provided by the GSM mode, replacing the GTMU will
interrupt the services of the peer mode. Typical scenario: The GU dual-mode
base station supports co-transmission over TDM through the E1/T1 ports on
the GTMU. The UMTS data is transmitted through the backplane in the manner
of TDM over Packet (ToP).
l For a multimode base station in dual-star topology, if the GTMU is reset
abnormally or removed, the data and voice services of the UMTS or LTE mode
may be interrupted.

5.3.3
Replaci
ng the
WMPT

l If no standby WMPT is configured, replacing a WMPT will interrupt all


services carried by the NodeB. Therefore, a WMPT must be replaced within
10 minutes.
l If a multimode base station supports co-transmission and the shared ports for
co-transmission are on the WMPT, replacing the WMPT will interrupt the
services of the peer mode. Typical scenario: The GU dual-mode base station
supports co-transmission over IP through the Ethernet link on the WMPT. The
GSM data is transmitted through the FE ports interconnecting the WMPT and
GTMU panels.
l For a multimode base station in dual-star topology, replacing the WMPT may
decrease the rate of GSM or LTE data services. However, voice services will
not be affected

5.3.2 Replacing the UMPT


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing a faulty UMPT in a
BBU3900 or BBU3910.

Prerequisites
l

To confirm the type of a faulty board, do as follows:


If the board can be queried online, run an MML command online to query it according
to the instructions in Querying the Electronic Label.
If the board is faulty and cannot be queried online, query the board information offline
on the U2000 according to the instructions in Querying Inventory Data.

An ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves and an M3 Phillips screwdriver are available.

Associated personnel have gained permission to access the site and have obtained the
required keys.

Optional:
When restoring software and configuration data using a USB flash drive, ensure that the
USB port on the main control board has been enabled.
The USB port on the main control board is enabled by default before delivery. Local
engineers can run MML commands (DSP LOCALUSBPORT for the NodeB/eNodeB/
BTS3900) to query the status of the USB port on the main control board. If the value of
Enable Flag is Enable, the USB port is enabled. If the value of Enable Flag is
DISABLE, the USB port is disabled. To enable the USB port, run MML commands (SET
LOCALUSBPORT for the NodeB/eNodeB/BTS3900) to set Enable Flag to ENABLE.

Context
l

Replacing the UMPT has the following impacts on the base station:
If no standby UMPT is configured in a single-mode base station or co-MPT multimode
base station, replacing a UMPT will interrupt all services carried by the base station.
Therefore, a UMPT must be replaced within 10 minutes.
If a separate-MPT multimode base station supports co-transmission and the shared ports
for co-transmission are on the UMPT, replacing the UMPT will interrupt the services
of the peer mode. Typical scenario: The GU dual-mode base station supports cotransmission over IP through the Ethernet link on the UMPT. The GSM data is
transmitted through the interconnected FE ports.
For a separate-MPT multimode base station in dual-star topology, replacing the UMPT
that works in UMTS mode may decrease the rate of GSM or LTE data services.
However, the voice services will not be affected. Replacing the UMPT that works in
LTE mode may decrease the rate of GSM or UMTS data services. However, the voice
services will not be affected. Replacing the UMPT that works in GSM mode may
interrupt the data or voice services of UMTS or LTE mode.

The UMPT is hot-swappable.

The following figure shows the position of the UMPT in the BBU.

5.3.4 Replacing the GTMU


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing a faulty GTMU in a
BBU3900.

Prerequisites
l

To confirm the type of a faulty board, do as follows:


If the board can be queried online, run an MML command online to query it according
to the instructions in Querying the Electronic Label.
If the board is faulty and cannot be queried online, query the board information offline
on the U2000 according to the instructions in Querying Inventory Data.

An ESD wrist strap or a pair of ESD gloves and an M3 Phillips screwdriver are available.

Associated personnel have gained permission to access the site and have obtained the
required keys.

Ensure that the USB port on the main control board has been enabled.
The USB port on the main control board is enabled by default before delivery. Local
engineers can run MML commands (DSP LOCALUSBPORT for the NodeB/eNodeB/

BTS3900) to query the status of the USB port on the main control board. If the value of
Enable Flag is Enable, the USB port is enabled. If the value of Enable Flag is
DISABLE, the USB port is disabled. To enable the USB port, run MML commands (SET
LOCALUSBPORT for the NodeB/eNodeB/BTS3900) to set Enable Flag to ENABLE.
l

If the base station is a GBTS, ensure the following operations have been performed.
If...

Then...

The base station is deployed by using


DHCP

1. Ensure that the site ESN configured on


the BSC is consistent with that on the
BBU.
2. Ensure that the DHCP relay function
has been enabled for the next layer-3
routing device on the transmission path
of the base station.

Co-transmission is achieved through the


backplane in the multimode base station
and the GTMU is not connected to the
transmission cable

Ensure that the GTMU version has been


upgraded to BTS3000 V100R014C00 or
later.

Context
l

In a GBTS, replacing the GTMU has the following impacts on the base station:
If a multimode base station supports co-transmission and the shared ports for cotransmission are provided by the GSM mode, replacing the GTMU will interrupt the
services of the peer mode. Typical scenario: The GU dual-mode base station supports
co-transmission over TDM through the E1/T1 ports on the GTMU. The UMTS data is
transmitted through the backplane in the manner of TDM over Packet (ToP).
For a multimode base station in dual-star topology, if the GTMU is reset abnormally or
removed, the data and voice services of the UMTS or LTE mode may be interrupted.

The GTMU is hot-swappable.

The following figure shows the position of the GTMU in the BBU.
Figure 5-15 Position of the GTMU

Process
If the GTMU serves as the main control and transmission board, the process for replacing the
GTMU is shown in the following figure.

5.3.6 Replacing the UBBP


This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing a faulty UBBP in a BBU3900
or BBU3910.

Prerequisites
NOTE

This section describes the procedure and precautions for replacing a faulty UBBP with a new one of the
same type. The UBBP cannot be used as a spare part for the WBBP or LBBP. If a UBBP is used for replacing
a WBBP or LBBP, the procedure for replacing a WBBP or LBBP with a UBBP is the same as that for
replacing a UBBP with the one of the same type. For details about how to adjust the configurations, see
RAN Reconfiguration Guide or eRAN Reconfiguration Guide.

To confirm the type of a faulty board, do as follows:


If the board can be queried online, run an MML command online to query it according
to the instructions in Querying the Electronic Label.
If the board is faulty and cannot be queried online, query the board information offline
on the U2000 according to the instructions in Querying Inventory Data.
