    Agenda
    • Introduction

    • TN Units

    • Connecting to the Mini-link

    • Traffic Routing

    • Link performance measurements


    Introduction

    • Ericsson Mini link IDUs can be categorized into two main


    categories :

    1)Compaq Node (CN)

    2) Traffic Node (TN)


    Compaq Node (CN)

    • We use CN 210 at Mobinil


    Compaq Node (CN)

    • Pros
    1)low cost
    2)small size

    • Cons
    1)small capacity up to 8 E1s only
    2) Not modular ,in case of HW failure the whole IDU
    should be replaced
    3)support 1+0 Configuration only

    • Best suitable for end point sites.


    Traffic Node (TN)
    • TN can be categorized based on their Access module
    magazine (AMM) to 20P and 6P where p refer to the number
    of Units that can be fitted inside the AMM.

    • Unlike the CN the TN operation is based on Units(Modules)


    where every unit do a certain function and all of them are
    connected through the backplane of the AMM .

    • TN = AMM + Modules
    Traffic Node (TN)

    • We use TN 6P-C and TN 20P-B at Mobinil

    20P 6P
    Traffic Node (TN-6P)

    • Pros
    1)Average cost
    2)Reasonable Size 3)Modular
    4)SW Cross connection availability

    • Cons
    1)Support up to 5 sites only

    • Best suitable for Medium Nodal sites.


    Traffic Node (TN-20P)

    • Pros
    1)High Capacity up to 19 sites
    2)Modular
    3)Cross connection availability

    • Cons
    1)High Cost 2)Large Size

    • Best suitable for Nodal sites & BSCs.


    TN Units

    • Access Module Magazine(AMM)


    • Network Processing unit (NPU)
    • Power Filtering Units (PFU)
    • Fan Unit (FAU)
    • Line Termination unit (LTU)
    • Magazine Modem Unit (MMU)
    TN Units

    • TN units can be categorized based on their Size to

    Full Width Module

    Half Width Module


    Access Module Magazine

    • Connect all the units together through its Backplane.

    • Backplane has two buses


    Traffic Bus which carries the normal traffic between the MMUs
    and LTU for example and Control Bus used by the NPU to
    control the Cards slotted inside the AMM
    Network Processing Unit(NPU)
    Network Processing Unit(NPU)

    • Holds the TN configuration on Non volatile Memory.


    • Control the TN operation through the control BUS in the
    backplane
    • O&M interface for local Maintenance
    • E1 & T1 Interfaces up to 4E1s for HW unit and 8E1S FOR FW
    unit.
    • DCN and management interfaces.
    • Mandatory Unit.
    Power Filtering Unit (PFU)

    PFU3B used in 6P AMM PFU1 used in 20P AMM


    Power Filtering Unit (PFU)

    • Supply power to the AMM .


    • Can operate over +24 v or -48 v.
    • SC protection and DC ripples Smoothing.
    • Can be used with another one for redundancy (Protection).
    • Mandatory Unit.
    • Usually installed in Slot 00 or 01 .
    Fan Unit (FAU)

    Air out
    FAU1 Used in 20p AMM

    Air In

    FAU2 Used in 6p AMM


    Fan Unit (FAU)

    • Direct the air flow throughout the AMM


    • FAU1 is not inserted in the 20 p AMM ,it is installed above the
    AMM hence it has a power socket and alarm socket to be
    connected to the AMM PFU .
    • Consists of 3 blowers for redundancy against equipment
    failure.
    • power can be supplied from two different two PFU
    redundancy against power supply failure.
    • Mandatory Unit.
    Line Termination unit (LTU)

    LTU 155 e

    LTU 155 e/0

    PDH LTU SDH LTU


    Line Termination unit (LTU)

    • Connect external traffic to the TN.

    • Can be either FW or HW depending on the AMM i.e. FW is


    usually used in the 20p AMM while the HW is usually used in
    the 6p AMM.

    • Optional Unit

    • Usually installed in slot 13 or 17 in the 20p AMM ,Slot 6 in the


    6p AMM.
    Magazine Modem Unit (MMU)

    • We Use MMU2D or MMU2H at Mobinil

    MMU2D

    MMU2H
    Magazine Modem Unit (MMU)

    • Modulate the signal from the Base band to IF Band and vice
    versa.
    • Supply DC power to the RAU (ODU)
    • Determine the Link Modulation scheme and Bandwidth.
    • Both MMU2H & 2D support modulation up to 128 QAM ,they
    also support adaptive modulation(Lowering the modulation
    scheme to became more robust against fading)
    • Only MMU2H supports XPIC .
    • Mandatory Unit.
    Connecting to the Mini-Link

    • We can connect to Ericsson MW IDU [6P & TNP] using either a USB
    cable or an Ethernet cable.

    • in case of CN-210 we can connect using Ethernet cable only .

    • Each IDU has its own IP ,so the IP used in the below example is just
    for illustration purpose.

    • You must assign the Laptop IP within the range of the network of
    the IDU to be able to connect properly to it.

    • Usually assign the laptop IP = the IP of the IDU + 1 or 2


    Example on Configuring the laptop TCP/IP

    If the IDU TCP/IP Configuration is as shown :

    IP :10.159.106.121
    Subnet : 255.255.255.248

    Configure the NIC as shown

    IP : 10.159.106.122
    Subnet : 255.255.255.248
    DGW: 10.159.106.121
    Identifying the right port

    • CN-210

    O&M Ethernet Port


    Identifying the right port

    • TN-20P
    • We connect through the NPU located in slot 11.

    TR7/LAN Interface
    O&M USB Interface
    Identifying the right port

    • TN-6P
    • We connect through the NPU located in slot 7.
    TR2/LAN Interface

    O&M USB Interface


    Starting the SW

    • Open Ericsson Mini-Link SW and choose IP from show NE as .

    • Username : control_user
    • Password : ericsson

    • NE : IP written on the Mini-Link.


    Traffic Routing

    • Hub sites have usually been built by connecting individual


    microwave Radio Terminals with cables through Digital
    Distribution Frames (DDF) and external cross connection to
    equipment.

    • MINI-LINK TN provides a traffic routing function that


    facilitates the handling of traffic aggregation. This function
    enables interconnection of all traffic connections going
    through the NE. This means that an aggregation site can be
    realized using one AMM housing several Radio Terminals with
    all the cross-connections done in the backplane.
    Traffic Routing
    • Interface (LTU and NPU) E1s on Ericsson Mini-Link are
    identified by a Number then a letter.
    • Letters are A,B,C & D.
    • Numbers from 1 to 8 .
    • If we combine them together we can have up to 32 E1.

    1 2 3 4 5 6 …. 30 31 32
    1A 1B 1C 1D 2A 2B ….. 8B 8C 8D
    Traffic Routing
    • In SW cross connection: all the plug in cards are defined
    according to the Node /Slot/E1 port.
    • Example the 3rd E1 on the NPU of TN-20P will be written as
    1/11/1C another example of 6th E1 of the NPU of TN-6P will
    be written as 1/7/2B.

    • Example if a new site to be routed from the BSC and we need


    to connect 1A on the LTU located in slot 12 to the 6th E1 of the
    MMU located in slot 10.

    Choose the MMU

    Link Performance Measurements
    • Every 15 minutes the Link record the values of the below
    1)BB (Background block) : blocks of data RX by the link
    2)BBE : # of blocks that contain errors and can not be corrected
    3)BBER : # of BBE / interval(Day or 15 minutes)
    4)ES( Error Seconds) : # of seconds of incorrect(corrupted) data
    5)ESR(Error second rate) : # of ES / interval(Day or 15 minutes)
    6)SES (Severe error seconds) : 10 seconds or more of incorrect data
    7)SESR : # of SESR / interval(Day or 15 minutes)
    8)Unavailable Seconds : more than 30 % of the data sent per this
    second has error i.e. data discarded by the link
