Figure 1-2 Cabinet architecture

The front door and rear door of the N68-22 cabinet each consists of two flip-open door panels. The flip-open design saves installation space and facilitates operation on the cabinet. The side panels are installed in hang-in mode.

The mount angles on the side panels are used to fasten internal cabinet components. There are grounding bars on the side posts at the back of the cabinet, which is used for grounding internal components and interconnecting grounding cables between cabinets.

The wire-bushings on the side posts, the cable strips and cabling rack on the back of the cabinet are used for the layout and bundling of internal cables of the cabinet.



1-4

The N68-22 cabinet can be installed on cement floor or ESD-preventive floor. When installing the N68-22 cabinet on the ESD-preventive floor, you have to use N800 series supports.

1.2.3 N800 Support and Accessories

I. Introduction to Support

If N68-22 cabinets are installed in the equipment room with ESD-preventive floor, N800 series supports are used.

Supports, made of welded steel plates, are used to block the cabinets up, thus facilitating floor paving and cabling. Before the whole set of equipment is grounded, insulation plates must be installed under the supports, and insulating coverings must be added to the expansion bolts to satisfy the insulation requirements.

N800 series supports have four kinds of components, of which three kinds are height adjustable and one kind is with fixed height.

Figure 1-3 shows the outer appearance of an N800 support. Table 1-1 shows the height adjustment range of each kind of component.

I 210 – 255

II 256 – 345

III 346 – 525

IV Customized for the floor height (minimum height: 100 mm)

Note: The height of floor refers to the distance between the upper surface of ESD-preventive

floor and the cement floor.

The height of N800 series I, II and III components can be adjusted within their adjustable ranges, which is realized by means of the relative move between upper beam and lower beam.

N800 IV component is the support of fixed height, which is applicable to ultra-high and ultra-low floors. The lowest applicable floor height of this component is 100 mm.

II. Introduction to floor holder-slide rail assemblies

Floor holder-slide rail assemblies include three parts:

Floor holder Holder fixing component Slide rail.

Floor holders are used to support the floor around a cabinet, and can be divided into front and back floor holders, and side floor holders.

Holder fixing components are installed under slide rails, and they are used to connect slide rails and front and back floor holders.

Slide rails are used to connect the cabinet and supports, and to move the equipment and adjust the equipment positions. They can join two supports and a cabinet together to keep the cabinet in a horizontal line and the connection stable. Due to their elasticity, the slide rails can absorb the vibrations. Figure 1-4 shows the appearance of a slide rail.

III. Amount of Supports, Floor Holders, and Slide Rails

To connect cabinets, 2N mode is used to determine the number of supports to be used. That is, each N68-22 cabinet uses two supports and N cabinets in a row need 2N supports.

Each cabinet has one set of floor holder-slide rail assemblies, and the sets are delivered together with the supports. Each set of floor holder-slide rail assemblies include two slide rails, two side holders, one front floor holder and one back floor holder.

Each cabinet needs two holder fixing components, one front floor holder, and one back floor holder, and each cabinet row needs two side floor holders, even if there is only one cabinet in a row.

1.3 Classification of Cabinets

1.3.1 Overview of Cabinet Classification

SoftX3000 cabinets fall into the following types according to cabinet components and actual configurations:

Integrated configuration cabinet Service processing cabinet MRS cabinet

The MRS cabinet is required when you configure a separate MRS in SoftX3000.

1.3.2 Integrated Configuration Cabinet

I. Overview of Integrated Configuration Cabinet

The integrated configuration cabinet is mandatory. It includes iGWB, BAM, hard disk array, LAN Switch, KVMS, and service frames. There are three types of services frames: basic frame, expansion frame, and media resource frame.

The integrated configuration cabinet provides the following features:

Providing complete service processing ability. Providing IP, clock, and TDM external interfaces Managing communication between the host and the BAM. Storing bills. Providing MRS feature when configuring a media resource frame.

The configuration of integrated configuration cabinet in different countries and regions are different.

II. Integrated Configuration Cabinet in China

V. Configuration Guidance

In an integrated configuration cabinet, iGWB, hard disk array (necessary only when the iGWB uses the IBM server), BAM, LAN Switch 0, LAN Switch 1, KVMS (or KVM, KVM switcher), air deflector, basic frame, and power distribution frame must be configured. Other components are optional.The LAN Switch 2 and LAN Switch 3 are optional components, and provide IP interfaces for SoftX3000 in coordination with the IFMI in the basic frame.

If you choose a separate MRS, you must configure an expansion frame at the near top of the integrated configuration cabinet. Otherwise, configure a media resource frame or MRS6100 there.

VI. Configuration Notes

If neither an expansion frame nor a media resource frame is configured at the near top of the integrated configuration cabinet, cover it with a standard blank filler panel.

The media resource frame accommodates MRCA and MRIA only.

1.3.3 Service Processing Cabinet

I. Overview of Service Processing Cabinet

Except for host-BAM communication and bill storage features, the service processing cabinet provides the same features as the integrated configuration cabinet.

Note:

When there are more than 100,000 equivalent subscribers, it is recommended to use a separate MRS. In this case, configure three service processing cabinets, and replace the media resource frames with expansion frames.

II. Configuration Guidance

When there is no separate MRS configured in the SoftX3000, you need to configure a media resource frame in a service processing cabinet (with MRCAs and MRIAs).

When a separate MRS is configured in the SoftX3000, there is no need to configure a media resource frame in a service processing cabinet. Three service processing cabinets meet the demand for full configuration.

When there is more than one service processing cabinet, you have to configure a basic frame 1 on the top of the second service processing cabinet.

III. Configuration Notes

All vacant frame positions must be covered with blank filler panels.

1.5 Power Distribution Frame

1.5.1 Functions of Power Distribution Frame

The power distribution frame (PDF) is installed at the top of an N68-22 cabinet.

Two channels of -48 V power supply are diverted into a PDF where lightning protection and overcurrent protection operations are performed and finally six groups of -48 V power supplies are distributed to the functional frames in the cabinet.

In addition, the PDF keeps monitoring the voltage of lead-in power and the state of distributed power. When detecting a fault, it generates an audio-visual alarm.

The PDF consists of three parts:

Monitoring unit Lightning protection unit Power output unit

Figure 1-19 shows the details.

Service frame has the following features.

A frame is 19 inches wide and 9U high, conforming to IEC297. A fan box is installed at the bottom of each service frame. A frame accommodates both front boards and back boards All the front boards and back boards are plugged in the backplane. All cables are led out from the back of the frame. Each frame has 21 slots. A frame has temperature detection and fan speed adjustment functions.

2.4 Board Allocation of OSTA Frame

All OSTA frames share the same hardware architecture. Each frame is designed with 21 standard slots. The following boards are always configured in fixed positions:

System Management Units (SMUIs) System Interface Units (SIUIs) Hot-Swap and Control Units (HSCIs) Alarm Units (ALMIs) Universal Power Modules (UPWRs) (occupying the width of 2 standard board

slots)

These boards occupy 9 slots in total. The remaining 12 slots are used for service boards (front boards) and interface boards (back boards).

Figure 2-2 shows the board allocation specifics.

2.6.1 Overview of Frame Classification

The DIP switch on the SIUI determines the frame number. The SMUI reads the DIP switch on the SIUI and retrieves frame number. For the relationship between the DIP-switch settings of the SIUI and the frame number, refer to chapter 3 “Boards” for details.

Depending on different board types configured, SoftX3000 frames fall into four types:

Basic frame 0 Basic frame 1 Expansion frame Media resource frame.



2-5

2.6.2 Basic Frame 0

I. Functions of Basic Frame 0

Basic frame 0 must be configured in the integrated configuration cabinet. The basic frame 0 provides a number of external interfaces such as clock, E1, and IP. A basic frame 0 can provide all service processing capabilities.

In the basic frame 0, CKIIs, IFMIs/BFIIs and CDBIs can be configured.

The IFMIs and BFIIs in the left half frame and CDBIs in the right half frame must be configured. Their configuration slots are fixed.

When the networking is to provide narrowband signaling interfaces, the following board should be configured:

Fixed calling control unit and signaling process units (FCSUs) E1_pool interface units (EPIIs) CKIIs Broadband signaling gateway boards (BSGIs) Multimedia signaling gateway units (MSGIs)

When the networking is not to provide narrowband signaling interfaces, the following boards are required:

Fixed calling control units (FCCUs) BSGIs MSGIs

An FCSU and an EPII must be configured in pairs and inserted in the same slots at the front and back.

The back slots 12 – 16 are always reserved for the CKIIs.

The FCCU/FCSU/BSGI/MSGI compatible slots are front slots 2 – 5 and 12 – 15. It is recommended to configure FCCUs/FCSUs from left to right and BSGIs/MSGIs from right to left.

For empty slots without boards configured, it is required to cover them with blank filler panels.

2.6.3 Basic Frame 1

I. Functions of Basic Frame 1

When the number of equivalent subscribers is greater than 500,000, basic frame 1 must be configured. A basic frame 1 provides IP and Ethernet interfaces externally, and can provide all service processing capabilities. For every increase of 500,000 equivalent subscribers, add a pair of IFMIs in basic frame 1 to provide external IP and



2-7

Ethernet interfaces. When the number of equivalent subscribers is greater than 1,000,000, add a pair of CDBIs in the basic frame 1.

Note:

Because a maximum of 4 pairs of IFMIs and 2 pairs of CDBIs are configured in SoftX3000, at most one basic frame 0 and one basic 1 are required for the whole system.

In the basic frame 1, CKIIs cannot be configured but IP Forward Modules (IFMIs)/Back insert FE Interface Units (BFIIs) and Central Database Boards (CDBIs) can be configured. The IFMIs/BFIIs provide IP interfaces. In the basic frame 0, CKIIs, IFMIs/BFIIs and CDBIs can be configured.

Chapter 3 Boards

3.1 Classification of Boards There are three types of boards in SoftX3000:

Front board Back board Backplane

Both the front boards and the back boards are inserted in the backplane.

Table 3-1 lists the functions of the front boards, the back boards, and the backplane.

Table 3-1 Functions of boards used in SoftX3000

Board Function

Front board Service processing boards and management control board

Back board Protocol processing boards and interface boards

Backplane Provides a communication channel for other boards

All SoftX3000 boards are hot-swappable. Some boards have a hot-swapping LED “OFFLINE” on the front panel and a hot-swapping switch on the ejector-lever.

When you insert a board in the frame and restore the ejector lever, the hot-swapping switch is closed.

When you push open the ejector lever, the switch is open. Then the MBUS module of the board sends a board-swapping request to the

active SMUI in the frame and terminates all services in the board.

When the hot-swapping LED is on, you can unplug the board.

Figure 3-1 shows the board insertion mode in SoftX3000.

Chapter 4 Cables

4.1 Power Cable and Protection Grounding Cable Power cables are used to supply power to a cabinet and its components. The protection grounding cables of various components in a cabinet are interconnected through the grounding bars in the cabinet. Through the protection grounding cables of the cabinet, the grounding bars are connected to the protection ground (PGND) of the DC power distribution cabinet, which is connected with the protection grounding bus in the equipment room. In addition, all cabinets are interconnected by protection grounding cables as an equipotential system.

The power cables and protection grounding cables of a cabinet and its components include the following:

I. Classification and Function of Straight Through Cable

SoftX3000 uses the following straight through cables:

Straight through cable between LAN Switches

To ensure that LAN Switches work in dual backup mode, the two S3528G LAN Switches in the integrated configuration cabinet need to be interconnected through three straight through cables in view of security. The straight through cable is used to transmit heartbeat detection signals so as to complete dual backup of data.

Straight through cable between iGWB/BAM and LAN Switch

The integrated configuration cabinet has three servers: two iGWB servers and one BAM server. Each server uses two straight through cables to connect with the active and standby LAN Switches.

Straight through cable between board in service frame and LAN Switch



4-9

The ports marked 10/100BT6 at the uppermost position of the active and standby HSCIs are connected to the active and standby LAN Switches respectively through straight through cables, implementing the communication between the service processing subsystem and BAM, and the interconnection between the service processing frames.

Straight through cable between MRS and LAN Switch

The communication between iGWB/BAM, boards in a service frame, and MRS is implemented through LAN Switch.

FE signal cable between HSCI and SIUI

FE signal cable is straight through cable, used to connect the HSCI (a bridge board) and the SIUI (a back board of the system board).

II. Appearance of Straight Through Cable

Figure 4-11 shows the appearance of a straight through cable. Its both ends are shielded crystal connectors, and category-5 shielded twisted pair is used as the cable material.

Note:

Both the BAM server and emergency workstation are connected to the HUB through straight through cables, so that the emergency workstation can back up the data in the BAM periodically. In addition, you need to lay two straight through cables between the emergency workstation and LAN Switches in advance. When the BAM is working normally, these two cables are disconnected with LAN Switches. However, once the BAM is faulty, immediately connect these two cables with the active and standby LAN Switches respectively to make the emergency workstation take over the job of the BAM.

4.2.2 Serial Port Cable Between iGWB Servers (HP Server)

4.2.6 Serial Port Cable for Monitoring Power Distribution Frame

I. Functions of Serial Port Cable for Monitoring Power Distribution Frame

The system management unit (SMUI) in a service frame is responsible for monitoring the signals of a power distribution frame. On the monitor board of the power distribution frame, there are two RS485 serial ports serving as the active and standby power monitor ports, which are connected with the active and standby monitor ports of the SIUI of the service frame through the serial port cables to send the monitor signals of the power distribution frame to the BAM. Each cabinet is connected with two serial port cables for monitoring.

II. Appearance and Architecture of Serial Port Cable for Monitoring Power Distribution Frame

Both ends of a monitor cable are shielded crystal connectors with lockers for ensuring reliable connections, and category-5 shielded twisted pair is adopted as cable material. See Figure 4-17 for the appearance of the cable, and Figure 4-17 for the connection relations.

4.2.7 Internal Clock Cable

I. Classification of Clock Cables

The clock cables of SoftX3000 can be divided into two types: internal clock cable and external clock cable. The internal clock cable is used to connect the EPII and CKII boards, and the external clock cable is used to connect the CKII board and the building integrated timing supply system (BITS) device, as shown in Figure 4-18.

III. Appearance and Architecture of Internal Clock Cable

The 2-MHz clock cable is double-layer shielded coaxial cable and its two shielding layers are connected. Both ends use 75-ohm sub-miniature B (SMB) connectors. Figure 4-19 shows its appearance.

Figure 4-19 Appearance of a 2-MHz clock cable

The 8-kHz clock cable is twisted pair with shielded crystal connectors at both ends. Its appearance is the same as a straight through cable, as shown in Figure 4-11.

4.3 External Signal Cable The external signal cables of SoftX3000 include:

Trunk cable External clock cable External network cable

The external clock cable and trunk cable are configured based on the actual networking.

4.3.1 Trunk Cable between SoftX3000 and Digital Distribution Frame

The trunk cables used in SoftX3000 are of two types: 75-ohm E1 cable and 120-ohm E1 cable. Both types adopt DB50 high-density connectors with lockers for fixing.

I. 75-ohm E1 Cable

The 75-ohm E1 cable is eight-core coaxial cable with braided shielding layer and jacket. Each DB50 connector provides two eight-core cables, and the shielding layer is spliced with the metal envelop of the DB connector. Each trunk cable is used to transmit eight channels of E1 signals. Figure 4-20 shows the appearance of a 75-ohm E1 trunk cable.

4.3.2 Clock Signal Cable between SoftX3000 and BITS Device

External clock cables are 75-ohm coaxial cables in the same model as the internal 2-MHz clock cable , used to connect the active and standby CKIIs with the BITS device. Figure 4-19 shows its appearance.

4.3.3 External Network Cables of SoftX3000

The external network cables are used to connect SoftX3000 with external network devices, and the external network ports on the SoftX3000 are provided by the corresponding back interface boards. The MRS is also connected to SoftX3000 through external networking devices. The active and standby media resource interface boards (MRIAs) in SoftX3000 or the media processor cards (MPCs) and shelf control boards (SCCs) in MRS6000C are connected to the external routers or LAN Switches through the external network cables. The active and standby iGWB servers connect to the bill console or NMS device through the HUB. The external network cable connecting to the HUB acts as the first heartbeat signal path between the active and standby iGWB servers.

The external network cables are category-5 unshielded or shielded crossover network cables with RJ45 connectors. See Figure 4-11 for the appearance of a crossover network cable, and Table 4-9 for its connection relations.
