CPCI Platform Structure

Centralized power supply: The UPWR supplies power for all boards in a subrack.

Dual CPCI (compact pci) buses (that is, resource-sharing buses A and B) with the
bandwidth of 22Gbps

Ethernet dual-platform and dual-star architecture

Master and slave serial buses

H.110 bus, providing switching capability of 4096 timeslots and 256 Mbps bandwidth

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

HUAWEI Confidential

Page 7

Limitations of the CPCI Platform


Low scalability
Complex bus types and limited bandwidth:

CPCI bus: 2 x 2 Gbps


H.110 bus: 256 Mbps
Ethernet bus: 24 x 100 Mbps (in spite of expansion)
Limitations related to the power supply, structure, and heat dissipation: The maximum power consumption of
a single slot (50 W) constrains the performance improvement of boards.
Not hot-swapping sub boards
Low reliability
The bus structure has inherited faults and potential single-point failures, for example, centralized power
supply, CPCI bus, and master/slave serial bus
The device control flow cannot be separated from the service flow. This may cause security problems.
Non-authentic Open Standard Platform
Carrier-specific standard: Expanded with multiple private interfaces based on the original CPCI standard (for
example, Ethernet bus, H.110 bus, back board size, and main/slave serial port bus)
No standard open software interface; tight coupling of hardware and software
High lifecycle costs

Challenges
With the development of the telecom industry, carriers are increasingly having higher requirements related
to telecom devices, especially in the following aspects:
Simplicity: The platform should be capable of simplifying the design, manufacture, test, and application of

network devices.
Capacity: The platform should provide sufficient bandwidth, call rate, processor loading rate, and operating

efficiency to meet the current and future requirements.


Performance: The platform should be capable of supporting short delay and call setup duration and providing

high service performance and QoS.


Reliability: The reliability of the platform should reach 0.99999.
Serviceability: The platform should be capable of providing simple, strong, and cost-saving OAM&P.
Security: The platform should be capable of protecting key services from being intercepted and against Hacking.
Time to Market: Time to market for a new product should be shortened. (purchasing boards, subracks,

Middleware, and APIs from other vendors to reduce development workload)


Cost: Lifecycle costs should be reduced. (software and hardware architectures can ease the multiplexing among

different products and reduce development workload)


Regulatory Considerations: The platform should comply with international specification and standards.

A subrack provides 1+1 redundancy power (-48V/-60V) through two PEMs.


The boards in a subrack are divided into two areas, namely, area 1 (slots 0 through 6) and area 2 (slots 7 through 13). Each

PEM provides two power inputs for each area, and each power input is configured with air circuit breakers for the purpose of
subrack-level delivery.
A front board works together with a back board and supplies power for the back board.

Subrack Slots
A subrack contains a middle-positioned backplane, with front boards and back boards installed back to back.

The back boards that function as the interface boards supply power for the front boards. One front board
works together with one back board. If a front board does not require a back interface, you need not
configure a back board for it.
A subrack provides 14 service slots, of which slots 6 and 7 are permanently used for SWUs and SWIs and

the other slots are used for UPBs and USIs.

Service Processing Module


A service processing module is composed of multiple blade servers. A blade server can

be a front board UPB, a back board USI, or a narrowband interface board ETI.
The UPBs, USIs, and ETI are installed in slots 0 through 5 and slots 8 through 13.
The UPB is classified into UPBA0 and UPBA1. The UPBA0 can serve as a service

processing board that is deployed with the CCU, IFM, or BSG process. The UPBA1 can
serve as a server that is deployed with the OMU or iGWB.
The USI is classified into USIA1 and USIA7. The USIA1 provides four GE interfaces and

can serve as an IP interface board or an interface board for the iGWB/XPTU. The USIA7
provides six GE interfaces and one RTC clock module. It can serve as an interface board
for the OMU.
The ETI is classified into ETIA0 and EITA2. The ETIA0 provides 32 E1/T1 interfaces. The

ETIA2 provides 16 E1/T1 interfaces and 2 GE interfaces. The function of the ETI is to
provide narrowband interfaces for the UPBA0s.

Rules for naming boards:


A board name is generally composed of four
characters and one digit, in the format of
XXXM#. Where:
XXX identifies the board hardware function. It
cannot be easily modified after being defined.
For example, the SWU specifies a switch
board, and the UPB specifies a universal
processing blade board.
M is used to distinguish the different boards of
the same function module. It must be a
uppercase character, for example, the
character A of the UPBA. If another hardware
board is produced for the subsequent version,
it may be named UPBB or UPBC.
# indicates a digit and is used to distinguish
different configurations for the same hardware
board. For example, UPBA0 and UPBA1
indicate two different configurations of the
same hardware board UPBA.

In the ATCA platform, each UPB functions as a server, and the KVM over IP provides a remote KVM function. With the KVM over IP, you
can access to the information of any UPB (a maximum of eight boards at the same time) in any subrack over the OMC interfaces provided
by the OMU.
The UPB exchanges the VIG interface information and KVM analog information with the SMM through the IPMB bus. The SMM then packs
the information to IP packets and sends them to the local maintenance terminal through the OMC interface provided by the OMU board.

Answers

How many types of signal flow are provided by the MSOFTX3000

OSTA2.0 platform?
There are four types of signal flow: IPMB bus signal flow, Base plane signal flow, Fabric plane
signal flow, and TDM bus signal flow.

If the hardware of a board is faulty in the MSOFTX3000 OSTA2.0

platform, how is an alarm generated for this failure?


The faulty board generates an alarm and reports the alarm to the SMM in the subrack through
the IPMB bus. The SMM then reports the alarm to the OMU through the Base plane.

In the MSOFTX3000 OSTA2.0 platform, how is the clock distribution

among the narrowband clock subracks implemented? How is the


narrowband signal flow implemented?
The SWI in subrack 0 generates the internal reference clock after locking the external
reference clock, and then delivers the internal reference clock to the SWU in subrack 0. The
SWU then delivers the reference clock to each ETI in the current subrack through the TDM
bus. For the clock distribution among subracks, the SWU in subrack 0 delivers the internal
reference clock to the SWI in each expansion subrack through the Base cascading interfaces.
The SWI then retracts the reference clock and delivers it to the corresponding SWU, and the
SWU is responsible for delivers the reference clock to each ETI.
After being exported through the E1 interface of the ETI, the narrowband signaling is
processed for MTP1 and partial MTP2, and then delivered to the corresponding UPBs for
other processing.

Answers
In the MSOFTX3000 OSTA2.0 platform, how is the time

synchronization implemented?
The time synchronization is implemented through the Base bus. The OMU board
synchronizes time with NTP server through the NPT interface provided by its
corresponding back board and stores the time in the RTC sub board in the back
board. The time provided by the TRC sub board is considered as the system
time of the MSOFTX3000. All the modules in the system synchronize time
through the Base bus and NTP protocol.

In the MSOFTX3000 OSTA2.0 platform, which boards does

the signal flow of KVM over IP pass through?


The signal flow of the KVM Over IP passes through the UPBs, SMMs, SWUs,
and OMU board.
