Figure 1: Location of the 9125 Compact TC within the PLMN
A single 9125 TC can support a number of BSCs. The TC recognizes BSC

racks. It deduces these from the BSC identifier and the Atermux number
supplied by the operator. Each BSC rack is connected to a group of up to six
MT120 boards. This grouping is referred to as a ’cluster’.
The 9125 Compact TC is connected to the other network elements of the
PLMN via the following interfaces:
The Atermux interface either directly to the BSC or via the MFS
The A interface to the MSC

The X.21 interface to the OMC-R
In some configurations, the Gb interface between the SGSN and the MFS
pass through the TC.
The 9125 Compact TC is normally located at the MSC site.

1.2 Functional Architecture

1.2.1 Basic Architecture
The 9125 Compact TC can have three functional units.
The MT120 is the main functional unit. It provides the multirate transcoding
for up to 120 channels. This board has interfaces for one Atermux trunk
towards the BSC and up to four A trunks towards the MSC. There are
MT120 WB or MT120 NB depending on Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband
(AMR WB) and Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband (AMR NB) codec types.
The TC 9125 STM-1 module is in charge of terminating the STM-1

link, extracting and forwarding the E1 from STM-1, and ensuring O&M
supervision and software management of the MT120 boards. The TC 9125
STM-1 boards are in a 1+1 configuration, whereby one carries traffic and
the other one is in hot standby. On the hot standby board, all interfaces are
permanently supervised. STM-1 is a 155 Mbit/s interface, included in the
SDH family (STM-4, STM-16, STM-64). E1 is transported in VC12 tributary.
STM-1 contains 63 VC12. One TC supports a maximum of four STM-1.
The FANU board provides cooling for the MT120 and TC 9125 STM-1
boards in the rack.

1.2.2 Interfaces
1.2.2.1 External Interfaces
Atermux Interface
The 9125 Compact TC is connected to the BSC or MFS via the Atermux
interface. In the case of a connection to the MFS, the Atermux interface
possibly conveys the Gb interface. If packet channels are present in the
Atermux interface, they go transparently through the TC.
This is TDM.
The channels either:

Are added/dropped in the MT120 (only true for 64 kbit/s channels), or
Go transparently through the MT120 (e.g. SS7, OMC-R, X.25 or Gb
interface)
The 8 and 16 kbit/s HR, FR, EFR and AMR traffic channels conveyed on the
16 kbit/s bearer channels are processed in the MT120
Submultiplexing 4:1 but only TS0 transparency configurations is supported.
A Interface
The 9125 Compact TC is connected to the MSC via the A interface. This is
TDM.
3BK 21229 AAAA TQZZA Ed.03 15 / 80

1 Functions
O&M Interface
The BSC performs the O&M access via the Qmux bus, compatible with the G2
TC. This access is used for configuration and supervision of the TC board.
There is a 1+1 Qmux connection, operating in active/standby mode, per cluster
(see Figure 5 ) in the 9125 Compact TC rack. These two Qmux connections
are carried on two 16 kbit/s channels conveyed by the first two Atermux links.
This is an interface to the IP network.
X.21 Interface
This interface is managed by the MT120 board and supports X.25 channels
used to interconnect the BSC with the OMC-R. One 64 kbits/s channel is
extracted from any Atermux interface and is transparently routed to the X.21
interface.
Interface to the IP network
For the IP interface, Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Base-T is used. The TC 9125
STM-1 includes a SNMP agent which is managed by the OMC.
TDM interfaces
For the TDM interface, the choice is:
E1 physical lines
The E1 physical interface is located on the MT120 boards.
E1 via STM-1/VC12
The SDH interface is located on a plug-onboard. To minimize the number of
STM-1 links to be connected, each E1 link can be mapped to any VC12
tributary on any STM-1 link (arbitrary mapping).
1.2.2.2 Internal Interfaces

TC Internal Link (TCIL)
The TCIL is a duplicated bus that connects all the MT120 boards of the rack.
The TCIL bus is involved in the following functions:
Forwarding the configuration information from the BSC to the other MT120
boards
Downloading the software from the TC terminal
Sending alarm information to the BSC via the MT120 board with a Qmux
connection
Communicating temperature measurements, power alarms and BSC
related information.
High Speed Link (HS)I

The transcoder boards are connected to TC 9125 STM-1 boards via high-speed
links (HSI). Each TC board is connected to each TC 9125 STM-1 board (dual
star). The high-speed links carry TDM, TRAU, O&M and signaling traffic.
O&M Link
A link between the TC 9125 STM-1 boards carries O&M, protection for
external interfaces. This link is realized using standard ATCA interfaces,
i.e. Ethernet, update port.

1.2.4 Module Addressing

1.2.4.1 Qmux Addressing
To reduce the impact on the BSC software, the MT120s in each cluster
respond to the addresses of the equivalent ASMCs and ATBXs which would
be equipped in a G2 TC.
For TC 9125 STM-1 the Qmux is forwarded by the TC 9125 STM-1 board to
MT120 board. The Qmux is hardcoded on TS14 Nibble 0.
3BK 21229 AAAA TQZZA Ed.03 17 / 80

1 Functions
1.2.4.2 TCIL Addressing

The MT120 uses a simplified LAPD protocol for the TCIL bus. The MT120
addressing on the TCIL bus is based on the TEI value. This MT120 TEI value
is derived from the physical location of the MT120 and is unique in the 9125
Compact TC rack.
The TEI value for broadcast messages in the TCIL bus is 255.
Each MT120 stores the information of all the other MT120s in a correspondence
table. This is done as follows.
Periodically and after each MT120 power on, the MT120 sends a broadcast
message on the TCIL bus. This message contains the following information:
MT120 TEI
Measured temperature
Fan alarms
Power supply alarms
Unique information received from the TC terminal:

BSC number
BSC identity
Atermux number
The other MT120s store this information in their correspondence table. This
table is used for some O&M functions (e.g. fan supervision).

1.2.5 TC Cluster
A TC cluster is a group of up to six MT120 boards allocated to one BSC rack.
These boards are only masters in respect to the Qmux interface. They have
no other dedicated role in the rack.
The other MT120 boards of the cluster are attached to the masters during
installation phase.
The members of a cluster can be any MT120 board in the rack. This
simplifies extension and reduction.

Figure 5: TC Cluster
Seen from the BSC, a cluster is a logical G2 TC rack, a group of six Atermux
interfaces. The BSC supervises the related cluster and communicates with
the master. The master forwards the messages received from the BSC to the
other MT120 boards in the cluster via the TCIL bus.
The two MT120 boards configured as the masters need to know the relation
between the Qmux address of the MT120s in the cluster and the TEI.
Since any MT120 can be connected to the TC terminal, each MT120 maintains
a table containing this relation for all the installed MT120 boards. This table is
also called the correspondence table.

1 Functions
1.2.6 TC Terminal
The TC terminal is a Personal Computer loaded with the TC terminal software
and connected to the 9125 Compact TC via the MMI link. The MT120 physically
connected to the TC terminal is the MMI master. This master routes all the
messages exchanged between the TC terminal and all the other boards in
the rack.
In the case of TC 9125 STM-1, the TC terminal can be connected remotely or
locally through Ethernet link. In this case, the MMI link can be used only for
displaying the configuration.

1.4 O&M Functions

The O&M functions of the 9125 Compact TC include software, configuration
and fault management functions which may be locally or remotely controlled.
1.4.1 Software Management

1.4.1.1 TC 9125 STM-1 Software Management
The TC 9125 STM-1 software is not replaced through the BSS software
replacement. It is downloaded and managed from the TC NEM.
The states handled by the TC NEM are not part of the BSS software
replacement. They are:
Idle = No software replacement on-going
Downloading = Download ongoing
Downloaded = Download completed
Activating = Activate ongoing
Activated = Activate completed

Rejecting = Reject ongoing
Aborting = Abort ongoing.
The set of scenarios to be provided for the TC 9125 STM-1 software

replacement are not part of the BSS software replacement. All the actions are
initialised from the TC NEM.
Software download
Software activate
Software accept
Software reject
Software abort.
1.4.1.2 MT120 Software Management

For the MT120 boards, the software management is done by the TC NEM.
The O&M actions of this service supported by the TC NEM and the TC
subsystem for the download management of the MT120 software for the
QMUX MT120 are as follows:
Software download
Software abort
Software activate
Software accept/reject.
The actions requested by the operator are performed through the TC NEM TC
rack by TC rack. However, at the operator interface, a global action on all TC
racks or on selected TC racks is provided and the TC NEM launches the actions
in parallel. The result to the operator is given TC rack by TC rack. The TC 9125
STM-1 can hold four different MT120 software versions at any one time.
3BK 21229 AAAA TQZZA Ed.03 21 / 80

1 Functions
1.4.1.3 Central Software Download

All the software for all the MT120 boards of an 9125 Compact TC rack is
downloaded from a central point.
The MT120 board has the memory capacity to store three software versions:
The first version (V0) is the production version. V0 is stored in a protected

area of the flash EPROM memory.
The two other versions (V1 and V2) are stored onsite by the preload
mechanism in a non-protected area of the flash memory. V1 is the running
version and V2 is the previous version.
The MT120 uses the following software versions as follows:
V0 at first installation or when V1 and V2 are corrupted
V1 after a correct preload and activation
V2 when V1 is corrupted.
1.4.2 Configuration Management

1.4.2.1 Clock Management
The clock selection:
Without STM-1, any MT120 has a priority. The clock is taken from the
highest priority MT120.
With STM-1, the clock is taken from STM-1 or from physical E1. STM-1 has
priority. The TC 9125 STM-1 selects and distributes the clock.
1.4.2.2 TC Rack Information Management

In the case of TC 9125 STM-1, the impedance has a rack granularity compared
to TC 9125.
1.4.2.3 Remote Inventory

Remote inventory contains manufacturing data (e.g. the production date and
serial number of the MT120) and maintenance information. Information about
the rack and fans are stored in the MT120 and are available via the TC terminal.
The MT120 remote inventory is stored in a dedicated EPROM, whereas the
rack and fan remote inventory is stored in the flash memory of each MT120.
22 / 80 3BK 21229 AAAA TQZZA Ed.03

1 Functions
1.4.2.4 MT120 Configuration Management

For each TC rack, the operator configures the E1 impedance parameter
throughout the TC NEM.
For each BSC, the TC is associated with a TC NEM. It configures the following
parameters:
BSC number (to be valued with BSC Node ID for IP preparation)
BSC-ID
Atermux ID
Loudness (DL & UL)

DSP allocation law (random or linear)
TRAU law (A-law/µ-law)
Qmux config.
For all this data, the reference is the TC. The TC NEM gives values for these
parameters to the TC 9125 STM-1 through SNMP management. This data is
stocked in the internal TC 9125 STM-1 database. After the SNMP SET, the TC
9125 STM-1 passes this data to MT120 board(s) via the HSI and where it is
updated in the internal database. The values from the internal database are
provided during the next interrogation of these parameters from the TC NEM or
the OMC (the SNMP managers).
1.4.2.5 TC 9125 STM-1 Configuration Management

For each TC rack, the operator configures the following parameters throughout
the TC NEM:
Rack number
Active TC 9125 STM-1 IP address and ports
TC 9125 STM-1 1 IP address and ports

TC 9125 STM-1 2 IP address and ports
TC remote inventory including TC 9125 STM-1.
For this data, the TC is the reference. The TC NEM gives values for these
parameters to the TC 9125 STM-1 through SNMP management. This data is
stocked in the internal TC 9125 STM-1 database.
3BK 21229 AAAA TQZZA Ed.03 23 / 80

1 Functions
1.4.2.6 STM-1 Configuration Management

The STM-1 configuration (logical E1 to VC12 mapping) is only performed
from the TC NEM. The configuration granularity is the MT120. On MT120,
the flexibility on the Ater interface and A interface is supported, i.e the A/Ater
interface independence is supported. The operator prepares the configuration
in a first operation, downloads it in the TC in a second step and applies this
configuration later, in a third operation. During the preparation phase, the TC
NEM operator uses a ’working’ STM-1 configuration file. The TC NEM operator
can also check the validity of the working file.
In addition, the operator can get the impact of the working file configuration if it
is applied through a ’Compare’ command that produces a configuration impact
file. This file contains all E1 links with a change:
If the E1 link is changed from physical to SDH: the SDH tributary
If the E1 link is changed from SDH to physical

If the SDH tributary changes.
SNMP messages are used between TC NEM and TC 9125 STM-1 board. The
current STM-1 configuration and the candidate STM-1 configuration are stored
in the TC MIB, accessible through SNMP.
The STM-1 configuration can be defined as:
’current’
’candidate’
’working’
The TC 9125 STM-1 only knows ’candidate’ and ’current’ STM-1 configurations.
The TC NEM displays the ’candidate’ and the ’current’ configurations, but also
offers/manages ’working’ files for configuration updates (these ’working’ files
are local to the TC NEM). A ’working’ STM-1 configuration file becomes the
’candidate’ configuration as soon as it is successfully downloaded on the TC
9125 STM-1 (on ’Set configuration’ operator trigger). The ’candidate’ STM-1
configuration becomes the ’current’ STM-1 configuration as soon as it is
successfully applied in the TC 9125 STM-1.
1.4.3 Fault Management

1.4.3.1 Alarm Octet Management
The alarm octet is a specific time slot of the Atermux interface used to report
transmission alarms. This feature is implemented in the G2 TC and not in the
9125 Compact TC. This results in a different behaviour of the MT120 compared
to the G2 TC in the case of an A interface failure:
In the G2 TC, one alarm is reported (on ATR SBL) and the corresponding
channels are blocked in the BSC
In the MT120, one alarm is reported (on ATR SBL) and the corresponding
channels are blocked in the MSC.

1.4.3.2 Fault Supervision

MT120 Failure
MT120 power on
During the power on, the configuration data and the alarms are not lost by
MT120. It performs the same actions as during the reset command.
MT120 out of order state

In the out of order state, MT120 supervision and alarm sending does not
stop. If the failure leading to the out of order state disappears, the MT120
becomes operational.
MT120 temperature handling

The MT120 temperature is a permanent measurement. If the temperature
goes below the corresponding “threshold-hystheresis” and the
MT120_autoreset_count < max value, the MT120 returns the previous state
and, depending on the case, sends the alarms OFF to TC 9125 STM-1
and the corresponding channels become available for traffic. In order to
avoid the “ping-pong” effect for temperature handling, the channels blocking
/ unblocking is limited in time.
MT120_autorestart_count
The MT120_autorestart_count is a counter used by MT120 in order to
trigger an MT120 autoreset instead of an MT120 autorestart when this
counter value reaches its maximum value. The counter is incremented after
each MT120 autorestart (successful autorestart or not), and is used only
during a window. When the autorestart window timer expires, the MT120
re-initialises the MT120_autorestart_count to 0 and restarts another window.
MT120_autoreset_count
The MT120_autoreset_count is a counter used by MT120 in order to stop
the MT120 indefinitely performing an autoreset which blocks the MT120
supervision (i.e. no alarms can be sent). The counter is incremented after
each MT120 autoreset (successful autorestart or not), and is used only
during a window. When the autoreset window timer expires, the MT120
re-initialises the MT120_autoreset_count to 0 and restarts another window.

TC 9125 STM-1 Board Failure

TC 9125 STM-1 hardware failures
The TC 9125 STM-1 board contains the following hardware equipment:
SS7 processors
STM-1 daughter board
TCIP daughter board
Ethernet switch.
If there are problems related to any of the hardware equipment, an alarm is
raised and reported through SNMP management. The alarm contains, as
additional information, the hardware device that failed.
TC 9125 STM-1 software failures

TC 9125 STM-1 software is organized in software building blocks. Each
block has specific tasks to handle. Depending on the usage of the module
and the gravity of the problem encountered, this software failure can trigger
a TC 9125 STM-1 reset.
STM-1 failures
The TC 9125 STM-1 board detects the STM-1 VC12 failures when physical
E1 failures are detected by the MT120.
Mate TC 9125 STM-1 reachability failure
The communication with the other TC 9125 STM-1 is impossible. This could
be due to internal cabling problems or to the fact that the other TC 9125
STM-1 board is dead or unplugged.
Router connection failure

The TC 9125 STM-1 is connected to an external router that enables it to
communicate with the external IP network. If the connection with this router
is lost then the board can no longer fulfill its functionalities as a IP network
element and must trigger an autoreset.
TCIF_autoreset_count _HW and TCIF_autoreset_count _SW

The TC 9125 STM-1 autoreset counters are used by TC 9125 STM-1 in
order to stop TC 9125 STM-1 indefinitely performing an autoreset which
blocks the TC supervision (i.e. no alarms can be sent).
MT120 reachability
The communication between the TC 9125 STM-1 and the MT120 is done
through the HSI interface. Each TC 9125 STM-1 is connected to each
MT120 board.
There are two potential levels of loss of communication:
Loss of communication with one TC 9125 STM-1
Loss of communication with both TC 9125 STM-1.
For the loss of communication with one TC 9125 STM-1, there are
two possible cases:
Communication was lost to ACTIVE TC 9125 STM-1
Communication was lost to STAND-BY TC 9125 STM-1.

Environmental failures
Power supply supervision
The power supply for 9125 TC IP is redundant. When the power supply fails,
all MT120 in 9125 TC IP will detect it. In order to reduce the number of
alarms sent to TC 9125 STM-1, only the active or inactive Qmux master
MT120 with lowest Atermux number for each BSC number, reports the
power supply alarm to TC 9125 STM-1.
Fan supervision
In 9125 TC IP, there are 6 fans per sub-rack and for each fan, only the
MT120 of the same sub-rack as the fan can access to its alarms by the
following rule:
Each MT120 with even number (2, 4, ..., 12) has access to the three
fans in the back panel
Each MT120 with odd number (1, 3, ...,11) has access to the three
fans in the front panel.
When MT120 detects a fan alarm, it sends it with a TC_FAUKT_INDICATION
to TC 9125 STM-1. In order to reduce the number of fans alarms sent to TC
9125 STM-1, only the active or inactive Qmux master MT120 with lowest
Atermux number for each BSC number reports the fans alarms of the
complete rack to TC 9125 STM-1.
Fan speed control

In order to reduce the noise generated by fans at high speed, the fan speed
is controlled in 9125 TC IP. Each MT120 controls the fan of the same
sub-rack with the following rule:
Each MT120 with even number (2, 4, ..., 12) controls the three fans
in the back panel
Each MT120 with odd number (1, 3, ...,11) controls the three fans
in the front panel.
All fans in the rack must have the same speed. Each MT120 reports its
temperature to TC 9125 STM-1. TC 9125 STM-1 calculates the highest
temperature from these messages and calculates the proper fan speed,
which is then broadcast to all MT120 boards via HSI. If this broadcast
message is not received by a MT120 (e.g. HSI failure), this MT120 uses the
maximum speed as the’ reference for FAN speed control.

1.4.3.3 Fault Recovery

MT120 recovery
MT120 autorestart
This autorestart must not impact the telecom of MT120 (no interruption of
traffic). During the autorestart, the configuration data and the alarms are
not lost by MT120.
MT120 autoreset
This autoreset must not impact the telecom of MT120 (no interruption of
traffic). During the autoreset, the configuration data and the alarms are
not lost by MT120.
TC 9125 STM-1 fault recovery
TC 9125 STM-1 autoreset

The TC 9125 STM-1 autoreset can be triggered from software or hardware
internal malfunctions. It is triggered from the TC 9125 STM-1 OBC. During
the TC 9125 STM-1 autoreset, the configuration data and the alarms are
not lost, because this data is kept on both TC 9125 STM-1 boards, as
they are in hot standby.
TC 9125 STM-1 takeover and ACTIVE/STAND-BY election principles:

The following criteria for the TC 9125 STM-1 takeover apply:
Failure (hardware/software) on the ACTIVE TC 9125 STM-1 board
MT120 reachability criteria: the TC 9125 STM-1 with the highest number
of MT210 connectivity available is the ACTIVE one
Software replacement: during the software replacement, the 2 boards
will change their status at least once
Ping-pong avoidance: as it is necessary to avoid as much as possible
performing multiple takeovers, several counters are defined to limit
the number of takeovers. Even if the number of MT120 reachable is
higher on one board but this board has a larger number of failures,
the takeover is inhibited.
1.4.3.4 Fault Reporting

Fault Reporting
MT120 fault reporting

The MT120 sends its alarms (and fan alarms for MT120 with lowest Atermux
number). The power supply for 9125 TC is redundant. When the power
supply fails, all MT120 will detect it. Concerning the report of power supply
alarm to TC terminal, each MT120 reports the detected power supply alarm.
The power supply alarm must then be filtered in the TC 9125 STM-1.
TC 9125 STM-1 fault reporting
TC 9125 STM-1 alarm reporting is done through SNMP management. The
active alarm table contains a list of all the active alarms that are known by the
TC 9125 STM-1. This active alarm table is mirrored on both TC 9125 STM-1.

2 Functional Units
2.2.1.1 Onboard Controller (OBC)

The OBC is based on the MPC8560 processor (also called Host processor) and
its associated memories, it provides the control part of the JBTCIF and performs
also the HDLC terminations of the O&M communication with the MT120 boards.
2.2.1.2 Signalling Controllers
These parts are identical and based also on the MPC8560 processor. They
have to terminate the MTP2 layer of the SS7 stack on the A interface. According
to the software architecture retained for the SS7 to Sigtran conversion, the
signaling messages are relayed to the Host processor through the PCI bus or
treated locally.
2.2.1.3 TDM Switch and HSI Link Termination

In order to manage the MT120 transcoder boards by pooling (TDM pool or IP
pool), there is a centralized TDM cross connect on the TCIF. It is implemented
in the JGHSI FPGA and provides a 16kbps synchronous switch on the Atermux
side and a 64kbps synchronous switch on the A side. The TDM switch is
also connected to the HDLC controllers embedded in the Host processor
for terminating the O&M communication channels and to the two Signaling
Controllers for the MTP2 protocol termination.
The 48 transcoder boards are connected to TCIF boards via high speed links
(HSI). Each TC board is connected to each TCIF board according to a dual
star topology. The high speed links carry TDM, TRAU packets, O&M and
signaling traffic. Each HSI interface includes one RX link and one TX link at
49.152MHz (i.e. 24 x 2048MHz).
2.2.1.4 BSS IP Transport Processing Module
This module supports the TRAU IP packet multiplexing/de-multiplexing function,
the time alignment and the traffic shaping.
2.2.1.5 STM1 Daughter Board

The TCIF board can support an optional a 4 STM1/VC12 daughter board with a
proprietary form factor. The architecture of the STM1 board is mainly based
on the “Hypermapper” device of Agere associated with one SFP cage, which
allows the reception of four optical transceivers.
2.2.1.6 Ethernet Switch Module

Based on the single-chip sixteen-port Gigabit switch, this module interconnects
the Ethernet ports of the OBC, the IP Transport termination, the two Signaling
Controllers and one port for mirroring with the backplane Base Interfaces.
2.2.1.7 IPMC Module

The IPMC module supports the IPMB interface for the hardware management
of the TCIF when hosted in a standard ATCA subrack. When the TCIF board is
housed in the new subrack defined for the TC 2.5G IP subsystem, the IPMC
module is configured to work in a standalone mode and mainly manage the
powerup/ down sequence of the board. It will also provide access to the FRU
data inventory and some sensors.
2.2.1.8 Reset Module

The reset module provides the reset logic of the TCIF board.
2.2.1.9 Power Supply Module

The power supply module provides all the necessary on-board power supply
from the dual 48V feeds.

2.2.2.1 Transceiver Interfacing

The STM1 physical interfaces of the JATC4S1 mezzanine card is done thanks
to a 1x4 SFP ganged cage compliant with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement
standard. Only single mode, short-haul SFP transceivers application are
foreseen, although the hardware can accept all SFP modules compliant with
the standard.
2.2.2.2 Time Base

Reference clock selection:
The clock circuit receives:
4 clocks 19.44 MHz issued from STM1 received lines 1 to 4

1 clock 19.44 MHz issued from the ATCA clock bus
1 clock 8 kHz issued from the ATCA clock bus
1 clock 8 kHz issued from PDH reference.
The selected clock is the highest priority available clock.

Clock distribution:
The clock synthesizer generates and distributes all the frequencies needed to
the “Hypermapper” from the selected reference. It provides 1 clock 8 kHz and 1
clock 19.44 MHz towards the ATCA clock bus through the JGTC4S1.

2 Functional Units
2.2.2.3 E1 Mapping in the 4 STM1

The “Hypermapper” completely assumes STM1 termination, VC12 mapping,
E1 termination, and frame slip functions. To give the flexibility to affect any
E1 anywhere in any STM1 frame, the JGTC4S1 FPGA includes a 252x252
E1 cross-connect. The TDM interfacing between the “Hypermapper” and the
JGTC4S1 is made through the CHI interface running at 8192 kHz in byte
multiplexing mode (18 wires per STM1). The TDM interfacing between the
JATC4S1 mezzanine card and the JBTCIF mother board is done through
the HTDM interface running at 32768 kHz, to reduce the pin count in byte
multiplexing mode.
2.2.2.4 APS Function

Automatic Protection Switching (APS) is used to avoid the loss of a STM-1 link
in the case of a physical link (or termination) failure.
There are four such circuits on the JBTCIF/TP, one per STM-1 link. The APS
decision is independent for each STM-1 link.
Two JBTCIF boards are interconnected for a quad STM-1 MSP 1 + 1 protection
solution. One “Hypermapper” device on the JATC4S1 is used to interface
with x 4 STM-1 working lines while the other device on the second JATC4S1
mezzanine card is used as an interface for the protection lines associated with
the four working STM-1s. The protection links are routed between the two
JBTCIF in the backplane through the update channels.
Figure 10: APS Architecture
2.2.2.5 Loop Back Facilities

Both the “Hypermapper” and JGTC4S1 FPGA have loop back facilities for
test purposes.
2.2.2.6 Local Bus Adaptation

Only the JGTC4S1 is connected to the local bus of the mother board. It
performs the adaptation between the local bus and the processor interface of
the “Hypermapper“. It gathers all the interrupts.
2.2.2.7 Power Supply

The JATC4S1 mezzanine card receives +5 V, +3.3 V, +2.5 V and IPMI
permanent +3.3V from the mother board. The 1.5 V and 1.2 V needed for core

power supply of the “Hypermapper” and the JGTC4S1 FPGA are generated
locally from the +5 V.
2.2.2.8 Board Presence

A pull down indicates the JATC4S1 presence to the mother board.
2.2.2.9 I2C Host Bus

An I2C standard link connected to the host processor of the mother board allows
the monitoring of the optical transceivers (if the functionality is implemented on
the SFP module). The remote inventory EEPROM is also connected to this link.
2.2.2.10 IPMC Bus

A temperature sensor with I2C interface is connected to the IPMC of the mother
board. It is supplied by a specific +3.3V coming from the mother board.
2.2.2.11 Reset
The JATC4S1 can be reset by the mother board through the reset input.
2.2.2.12 JTAG
JATC4S1 mezzanine board has a JTAG interface for programming and test.
Two chains are available (a short chain for ISPPAC programming and a long
chain for boundary scan tests).

2.3 FANU
The 9125 Compact TC is equipped with a forced-air cooling system. Each
subrack has three fan units (FANUs), situated below the MT120 boards. Each
FANU contains two fan blowers, controlled by the MT120 board.
Possibility of Overheating
Do not insert the FANUs if there are no MT120s in the same subrack to provide
them with power, otherwise they will restrict the airflow.
Ensure that:
The MT120s with even number are connected to the three fans in the
back panel
The MT120s with odd number are connected to the three fans in the front
panel
FANU FANU FANU

Figure 11: Position of the FANUs in the Subrack
To extend the life of the fans and to keep the noise level to a minimum,
the speed of the fans is adjustable. Each MT120 board is equipped with a
temperature sensor. The MT120 measures its temperature and provides power
and digital speed control for the FANUs. This enables the temperature inside
the rack to be regulated more precisely.
Each of the MT120 boards controls the FANU of the same subrack. For cooling
efficiency, however, all the FANUs of the rack must have the same speed. Each
MT120 broadcasts the measured temperature to all other MT120 and the
speed depends on the highest measured temperature.

3.1 Introduction
The 9125 Compact TC can be used for:
New BSSs
Extensions of G2 TCs, possibly with mixing of 9125 Compact TCs and

G2 TCs
G2 TC replacement. In this case, one 9125 Compact TC rack can replace

several G2 TC racks.
The 9125 Compact TC can be equipped with up to 48 MT120 boards. Each

MT120 offers an Atermux connection to a BSC and up to four A trunk
connections to the MSC. The 9125 Compact TC rack has up to 192 A trunk
connections to the MSC.
For Qmux continuity, all DTCs of a 9120 BSC rack must be connected to the
same 9125 Compact TC rack. The same principle is used for the 9130 BSC
Evolution where each group of six Atermux interfaces must be connected at the
same TC rack. For redundancy purposes, a BSC must be connected to an
9125 Compact TC via a minimum of two Atermux connections.
3.2 Multiple BSC Connection

3.2.1 Rack Sharing
The 9125 Compact TC rack is shared between several BSCs. Any MT120
board in any slot of any subrack can be allocated to any BSC. These BSCs
can belong to several OMC-Rs. This is a static allocation; the MT120 board is
attached to the BSC at installation time.
3.2.2 Multiple BSC

The 9125 Compact TC can serve up to 24 BSCs, possibly controlled by different
OMC-Rs. In the example figure below, TC (2) serves four BSCs, controlled by
two OMC-Rs. BSC (4) is connected to two TCs, with the restriction that one
BSC rack must be connected to the same TC rack.

3.3 Rack Filling

Theoretically, it is possible to put any MT120 board in any slot in the four
subracks, however onsite, depending on the cable entry (from the top or from
the bottom), the rack is filled differently.
The rack is filled:
Positioning:
Always from left to right
From bottom to top, when bottom cable entry is used
From top to bottom, when top cable entry is used.
The filling granularity is one MT120 board, with a minimum of two boards
per occupied shelf. These must be in odd and even numbered slots to
power both sets of fans.
The BSC to MT120 connection information is only available via the TC

terminal.

The JRTC rack has two redundant power line inputs (BAT A and BAT B). The
battery return (BAT RET) is common to both distribution branches.
When entering the EMC Rack enclosure, the power supply is filtered to meet
the EMC standard for conductive emission. The BAT A, BAT B and BAT RET
signals are individually filtered.
The rack has the following internal power distribution cables:
Three power cables from the EMC filters to the JSTRU
Two ALBAC cables from the JSTRU to each JSTC subrack (eight cables
in total) and two ALBAC cables from the JSTRU to the JSTCIF subrack
(additional two cables), if the STM1 option is used. An ALBAC cable is a
dual conductor cable with a T fast-on connector at both ends.

4.9.1.3 HSI Cables

When a JSTCIF subrack is used, it is connected to each JSTC subrack by
three HSI cables.
A HSI is a point-to-point interface. It is composed of four pairs of signals, three
pairs of which are used to exchange serial data between JBMTE2 and JBTCIF,
while the remaining pair is used to give to JBTCIF the line reference timing.
All high-speed links are cabled to the backside of the interface sub rack by
using SCSI-3 34 pair cables. Each TCIF board manages the four pairs for 48
boards, for a point to point HSI interface in a JSTC subrack. This results in
2 x 192 pairs for the complete cabinet. As SCSI-3 34 pair cables are used,
there are 12 connectors for the JSTCIF subrack.
The selected connector for HSI interconnections is an Amplimite 68-pin female
connector.
