l The types of interface boards, installation positions of cables, and number of cables shown in Figure 3-12 are taken as examples. The actual configurations depend on the site planning. l Among the multiple TCSs configured in the BSC6900 cabinet, one TCS is responsible for forwarding the OM signals from other TCSs, and this TCS is referred to as the main TCS. In Figure 3-12, the lowest TCS serves as the main subrack. In practice, any TCS can serve as the main subrack, and the SCUb board in the main TCS is connected to the SCUb boards in other TCSs in star topology.

NOTE
5 Subracks
l Each subrack provides a total of 28 slots. The 14 slots on the front side of the backplane are numbered from 00 to 13, and those on the rear side from 14 to 27. l Two neighboring slots, such as slot 00 and slot 01 or slot 02 and slot 03, can be configured as a pair of active/standby slots. A pair of active and standby boards must be installed in a pair of active and standby slots. For example, if slot 00 is configured with the XPUa board, then slot 01 must be configured with the XPUa board and slot 01 cannot be configured with the XPUb board. l Different types of boards can be installed in all slots other than active/standby slots. For example, if slot 00 and slot 01 are configured with XPUa boards, slot 02 and slot 03 can be configured with XPUb boards. l If the boards are in resource pool mode, then they can be installed in active/standby slots. For example, if slot 08 is configured with the DPUc board, slot 09 can be configured with the DPUf board.
5.5 DIP Switch on the Subrack

Description about the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. The higher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 5-6 describes the bits. Table 5-6 Description about the bits Bit 1-5 Description Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is the least significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit is set to OFF, it indicates 1. Odd parity check bit Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON Startup type of the subrack, generally set to OFF
6 7 8 (the most significant bit)
Principle of the DIP Switch Setting

As the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an odd number. The method for setting the bits is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required. Set bit 7 to ON. Set bit 8 to OFF. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch. l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF. l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON. Table 5-7 describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case. Table 5-7 Setting of the DIP switch Subr ack No. 0 Bit 1 0 ON 1 1 OFF 2 0 ON

NOTE
l When the 75-ohm coaxial cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1 unbalanced mode. In this case, the TX end is grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to ON. l When the 120-ohm twisted pair cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1(T1) balanced mode. In this case, the TX end is not grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to OFF. l All DIP switches of the EIUa board are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is faced to and combined with the bottom plate, and so the DIP switches are hidden in between.

NOTE
6 Boards
l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottom plate, so the DIP switches are not exposed. l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 6-21, there are two square holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Through the two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the subboard, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 6-21 is to turn inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to OFF, turn them inwards. l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency between the physical setting of S10 on the PEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting by command as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support for balanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you must also manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalanced mode. l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxial cable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signals are transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted pair cable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.
DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the grounding of 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 6-59 describes the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

About This Chapter
DIP Switches on Components
This chapter describes the DIP switches on the boards and subracks of the BSC6900. 9.1 DIP Switch on the Subrack The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack. 9.2 DIP Switches on the EIUa Board The EIUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6. 9.3 DIP Switch on the MDMC Board The MDMC board provides an S2 DIP switch. 9.4 DIP Switch on the PAMU Board The PAMU provides an SW1 DIP switch. 9.5 DIP Switches on the PEUa Board The PEUa board provides five DIP switches, namely, S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10. 9.6 DIP Switch on the PFCU Board The PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in a fan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU board is configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4. 9.7 Pins on the PFCB Board The PFCB board provides eight pairs of pins for jumpers. After being connected to jumpers, these pins are used to set the address and working mode of the PFCB board. The settings of these pins depend on the installation position of the PFCB board.

9.1 DIP Switch on the Subrack

The DIP switch on a subrack is used to set the number of the subrack.
Location of the DIP Switch

The DIP switch is located on the lower back of the subrack. For details on the location of the DIP switch, see 5.2 Components of the Subrack.
Appearance
Figure 9-1 shows the cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack. Figure 9-1 Cover plate for the DIP switch on the subrack
Description about the DIP Switch

The DIP switch on the subrack has eight bits numbered in ascending order from 1 to 8. The higher the bit is, the more significant it is. Table 9-1 describes the bits.
Issue 04 (2011-08-31)
238
Table 9-1 Description about the bits Bit 1-5 Description Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is the least significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit is set to OFF, it indicates 1. Odd parity check bit Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON Startup type of the subrack, generally set to OFF
6 7 8 (the most significant bit)
Principle of the DIP Switch Setting

As the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an odd number. The method for setting the bits is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required. Set bit 7 to ON. Set bit 8 to OFF. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch. l If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF. l If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON. Table 9-2 describes the setting of the DIP switch in the case.

NOTE
l When the 75-ohm coaxial cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1 unbalanced mode. In this case, the TX end is grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to ON. l When the 120-ohm twisted pair cable is used, the signal transmission uses the E1(T1) balanced mode. In this case, the TX end is not grounded, that is, the corresponding bit of the DIP switch is set to OFF. l All DIP switches of the EIUa board are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is faced to and combined with the bottom plate, and so the DIP switches are hidden in between.

(2) Bottom plate
Issue 04 (2011-08-31)

NOTE
l All DIP switches are on the front panel of the sub-board. The front panel is combined with the bottom plate, so the DIP switches are not exposed. l DIP switches S2, S4, S6, S8, and S10 are set from the side. As shown in Figure 9-5, there are two square holes between DIP switches, one between S2 and S4, and the other between S8 and S6. Through the two holes, you can set S2, S4, S8, and S6. DIP switch S10 is located in the right corner of the subboard, and thus you can set S10 along the side. The direction of the arrow in Figure 9-5 is to turn inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to ON, turn them inwards. To set the bits of S2, S4, S6, or S8 to OFF, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to ON, turn them outwards. To set the bits of S10 to OFF, turn them inwards. l You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to set S10. If there is any inconsistency between the physical setting of S10 on the PEUa board and the setting of S10 by command, take the setting by command as the criterion. By default, the working mode of S10 is set to E1. You can also run the SET E1T1 command on the LMT to change the working mode of S10 from E1 mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, or T1 mode. When you run the SET E1T1 command to set the support for balanced and unbalanced modes parameter to No and set the working mode of S10 to E1, you must also manually set the bits of S10 to set the working mode of S10 to E1 balanced mode or E1 unbalanced mode. l If signals are transmitted in E1 unbalanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 75-ohm coaxial cable and the TX end of the cable is grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to ON. If signals are transmitted in E1(T1) balanced mode, the signals are transmitted through the 120-ohm twisted pair cable and the TX end of the cable is not grounded, that is, the corresponding DIP bit is set to OFF.
DIP switches S2, S4, S6, and S8 on the PEUa board are used to enable or disable the grounding of 0 to 31 E1s/T1s/J1s at the TX end. DIP switch S10 is used to set the working mode to E1 balanced mode, E1 unbalanced mode, T1 mode, or J1 mode. Table 9-7 describes the DIP switches on the PEUa board.

9.6 DIP Switch on the PFCU Board

The PFCU board has one DIP switch, which is named SW1 and consists of four bits. The DIP switch is used to set the address of the PFCU board. When the PFCU board is configured in a fan box of the service subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 1. When the PFCU board is configured in the independent fan subrack, the address of the PFCU board is set to 4.
