1. Before Site Access:

i. Site Access Message
Send sign in/out message to 5011 (sign in message format S=xxxx*A=in\out)
ii. Risk Assessment
Write risk assessment

2. Site Survey
i. Site
 Placement
Check where you will fix TN6 P where magazine need 3U at rack, 1U for each

 Power
PBC 6200
This case connect TN6 P direct with PBC 6200
As fig show

PBC 6200 TN6 P

PBC 6500

This case connect TN6 P direct with PBC 6500

As fig show
Note: if PBC 6500 with C connection (-48V) connect
with it direct
If PBC 6500 with A, B connection (+24V) connect with
it if there is no PBC 6500 C connection

 Check old Link

Check old link parameter with SF6 file (Review APPENDIX B) most important
parameter:

1) RSL and Tx power

2) Inventory
3) Tx and Rx frequency

MLU Project
 |Pag e8

4) Link performance

 E1 survey
Trace each E1 cable if these cable direct to other sites you can check it with End
to End
 IF Connector
Standard or not, if not standard you should change it after halting sites
Standard as show in fig

IF cable

Washer

Jumper

 Check IF connector
Standard or not, if not standard you should change it after halting sites
Standard as show in fig

IF cable

Washer

Jumper

3. Check Delivery
 AMM (Access Module Magazine)

 Power Cable and Connector

There are two Power connector and Two Power cable

MLU Project
 | P a g e 15

 NPU3 C and RMM

NPU (Node Processor Unit)

RMM (Removable Memory Module)
NPU3 C Specification:
 One Ethernet Traffic port
 One Ethernet Traffic port/LAN
 One port support E1 from TR
4A-4D
 two user output

NPU: can support 4E1 and it responsible main function, Contain internal memory to save
main parameter for Magazine and Routing table

RMM: it takes copy from NPU internal memory

RMM

 ETU2 B or LTU 12/1 (Optional)

rmm
LTU 12/1: use to support three
group and each group support four
E1
There are Traffic cable uses to distribute these E1 on ICF (Interconnection
Frame), from ICF to RBS (Radio Base station)

ETU: use to support Packet

data

ETU (Ethernet Terminal Unit)

MLU Project
 | P a g e 16

 LTU 32/1 (Optional)

LTU 32/1: use to support eight group and each group support four E1
There are Traffic cable uses to distribute these E1 on ICF (Interconnection
Frame), from ICF to RBS (Radio Base station)

NOTE: at least you should have on LTU card (LTU 12/1 or LTU32/1) for physical E1 dropping

 MMU 2H

MMU2 H (Modem Unit):

It support maximum air interface traffic capacity of up to 406 Mbps

MMU2 H supports up to 512 QAM modulations. 256 QAM with channel spacing
56 MHZ support 80 E1

This mean MMU work with

+24V or -48 V, so TN6P can
work with +24 V or -48 V

This mean MMU work with Volt -48 V

So TN6P need power source -48V only

 Two PFU3 B

PFU (Power Filter Unit): it distributes primary

power to the plug-in units in the AMM through
the backplane.
There are two PFU, one is redundant for other

MLU Project
 | P a g e 17

 FAU (FAN Unit)

used for Cooling

 Earth cable and washer and Screw& Nut 13mmØ

 Dummy

 ICF and Traffic cable

*eight traffic cable (if LTU32/1)

NOTE: main Component to collect TN6P:

1. NPU
2. LTU (LTU12/1 or LTU32/1
3. MMU
4. FAN + Two PFU3B+ Power cable
5. ICF + traffic cable

5. Configure TN
Use USB to Mini cable to connect with AMM through USB Mini port in NPU Card

Now Open Mini-Link craft:

NE: 192.168.0.1

User: Control_user

Password: ericsson

MLU Project
 | P a g e 22

 Software Upgrade
Before any Update or Back up you should start FTP server (APPENDIX C)
At first time when you start TN 6P

Right Click on TN and choose tools and select software upgrade

Select on Local Server User name and Password set

Anonymous if use BPFTP server and set default if use
embedded FTP server inside Mini link Craft

Choose R22T18 from

list

Note: Link contain TN R4:

After upgrade finish press Activate (message appear press OK)

 Configure Basic NE and OSPF and PPP

Right click on CN and choose configure then Basic NE

NE name: CN01-site number

NE Location: Area name for example (obour)

IP address: IP from address sheet for example: 10.250.5.25

 | P a g e 25

NE subnet mask: according to IP sheet for example: 255.255.255.248

Continent: Africa

City: Cairo

Date and Time: set date and time

To Hide License error: open any explorer and write 10.0.0.1 and user name: Control_user,
password: ericsson

Choose configure tab then Basic NE, press check Mark on

*Hide License
errors

*Hide License
Warning

Then make Warm restart for AMM: press Right click on TN and choose tools then
restart; there are two type of restart:
Warm restart: Not distribute traffic
Cold Restart: distribute traffic

How read IP sheet and extract IP and subnet mask:

It mean Subnet mask TN IP

255.255.255.248

MLU Project
 | P a g e 26

Right Click on TN and choose Configure then DCN choose PPP

Mark on UP for MMU fix

Show MMU
position

Right click on TN and choose configure then DCN choose OSPF

How find OSPF IP from IP sheet:

MLU Project
 | P a g e 27

It mean Subnet mask

It is Net address Area ID
255.255.255.248

6. Call 2nd line:

Call them and tell them your action upgrade from Mini link or SIAE to TN to send
mail to BEB team
7. Call NMC to Halt Site and effected sites
Tell those halt your site (Site, Co and G) and all sites with it in mail, after him replay
to you can connect jumper with MMU on TN and complete action

8. Complete Action
 Jumper Connected
Connect jumper on MMU
 RAU Software upgrade
Open Mini link craft and right click on TN then choose tools then Software
upgrade (Choose upgrade modules)

MLU Project
 | P a g e 28

 Configure Radio Link

Open Mini link craft to configure Radio Link
Right click on MMU then choose configure radio link

MMU ID at Sf6

Choose it Channel B.W at SF6

Check mark

Read Tx type in SF6

Choose it 6B
Determine from Capacity
and Modulation in SF6 E1 number from
capacity at SF6

Choose it from Tx
frequency

Read it from Tx
Tx on Power at SF6

Choose -70 and 10^-6 always

MLU Project
 | P a g e 29

How read SF6 file to configure radio link

It mean install TN6P

MMU ID: if you configure radio link at site 211 terminal ID 594F and Far end ID 594E

Capacity: 17E1, so rate= 2.048*17 = 35 Mb/S

At Tx type: TN MMU2H (1+0) 38GHZ R2N

It mean RAU 2N
Link 1+0 no
MMU type: MMU2H protection

After end configuration at two sides check received power and if it in range show in SF6 file
or not (Accept if Rx+/- 3 dBm)

MLU Project
 | P a g e 30

Show Tx and
Rx power

Before call BEB check if TN6P managed or not:

Open start menu and write cmd at RUN menu and press enter

Write telnet magazine IP and press enter, (password: Ericsson)

TN6P-0211 > ping Router IP (Always end with .29)

This IP that you

need ping on it to
check if Magazine
management

MLU Project
 | P a g e 31

Print screen show that magazine managed:

9. Drop E1 Physical

E1 cable

10. Call BEB to Add Node and E1dropping

Call BEB and tell him that you want add Magazine to management and tell him IP,
then tell him E1 dropping as example (if LTU 32/1 Pos6) "dropping at LTU 32/1
pos6, 1A for site, 1B for site Expansion, 1C for Co, 1D and 2A for G)
*site it mean GSM Band 900MHZ
*Co it means GSM 1800
*G it mean 3G

11. After finish call NMC to Active sites

12. Take Acceptance Package
