Clock Subsystem
The hardware entity of the clock subsystem is the GSM General ClocK Unit (GGCU).
The clock sources of the BSC6000 are as follows:
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

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.

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. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

Except the GTNU and the GSCU, other boards can be inserted at random.
But, in the configuration operation provided by the LMT, each board should be inserted in the
specified slots:
Two GSCUs should be inserted in the slot 6 and slot 7 of the GMPS/GEPS/GTCS. They
work in active/standby mode.
Two GTNUs should be inserted in the slot 4 and slot 5 of the GMPS/GEPS/GTCS. They
work in active/standby mode.
Two GGCUs should be inserted in the slot 12 and slot 13 of the GMPS. They work in
active/standby mode.
The GXPUMs can be inserted in slot 0 and slo1 of the GMPS/GEPS according to
requirements.
The GXPUCs can be inserted in slot 8 and slot 9 of the GMPS/GEPS according to
requirements.
The GDPUCs can be inserted in slot 0 to slot 3 and slot 8 to slot 13 of the GTCS according
to requirements.

Two GEIU boards must be configured into active board and standby board.
The GEIUBs/GOIUBs can be inserted in slot 18 to slot 27 of the GMPS/GEPS according to
requirements.
The GEIUPs/GOIUPs can be inserted in slot 14 and slot 15 of the GMPS/GEPS according to
requirements.
The GEIUTs/GOIUTs can be inserted in slot 16 and slot 17 of the GMPS/GEPS and slot 14 to
slot 17 of the GTCS according to requirements.
The GEIUAs/GOIUAs can be inserted in slot 18 to slot 27 of the GTCS according to
requirements.

Typical Configuration
Capacity of this configuration:
The BSC supports 512TRX full
rate/256TRX half rate ;
The EIUB is configured according
to the number of BTS and the
number of carrier.
Based on the service capacity,
the GDPUC is configured through
the N+1 redundancy.
The EUIP is configured optionally
according to actual services.
The GXPUC is configured
optionally according to actual
services.

Typical Configuration
Capacity of full configuration: When a BSC6000 is fully configured, it supports 2048TRX full
rate/1024TRX half rate.
