1.1 Product Positioning

ZXUR 9000 is a multi-mode controller solution provided by ZTE Corporation to integrate
radio networks of different systems. With a multi-mode and IP-oriented modular design,
ZXUR 9000 provides the functions of BSC and RNC in the GSM and UMTS systems
respectively to adequately fulfill the requirements of multi-mode integration.
Depending on the network environment, ZXUR 9000 can be configured to three systems:
ZXUR 9000 GSM, ZXUR 9000 UMTS, and 9000 GU. XUR 9000 GSM and ZXUR 9000
UMTS are independent network element modes. ZXUR 9000 GU is integrated network
element mode.
If configured to a ZXUR 9000 GU system, ZXUR 9000 can, as an independent element,
access a network where GSM and UMTS coexist. In this case, ZXUR 9000 GU provides
functions of both GSM BSC and UMTS RNC. When ZXUR 9000 GU accesses a GSM
network, it complies with the 3GPP R7 protocol. When ZXUR 9000 GU accesses a UMTS
network, it complies with the 3GPP R9 protocol.
This manual only describes the ZXUR 9000 in independent network element mode, that
is, ZXUR 9000 UMTS.

The above-mentioned interfaces are standard interfaces, which can interconnect with
equipment from other manufacturers.
1.2 Product Features

Advanced Architecture
The ZXUR 9000 UMTS system is based on the ETCA architecture, providing standard
platform architecture for carrier-class applications, with features like high reliability and
maintainability.
The ETCA architecture provides additional rear boards as compared with the standard
ATCA architecture. Without sacrificing the capacity of front boards, the added rear
interface boards can improve the processing capacity with more interfaces for NEs, which
need a relatively larger amount of low-speed interfaces.
More Scalable Software Platform

The ZXUR 9000 UMTS system software adopts the Linux multi-process architecture. The
middleware concept is introduced for restructuring software design to enable a highly
cohesive system with loose coupling.
The multi-process architecture ensures the independence of individual processes,
separating the errors occurring within one process from others, and enhancing the system
capacity and security.
Higher Service Processing Capability

ZXUR 9000 UMTS adopts multi-core high processing chips with highly systematic
integration and great processing capability. It, through optimizing the overall performance
of the system, assists operator reducing costs, integrating networks in different modes,
and evolving future technologies. In addition, it provides the operators with strong
competitiveness in the mobile internet era through the following functions:
l Shared resource management
Improve the sharing of radio resources and the overall radio performance.
Through the inner interfaces of BSC/RNC, ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports 2G/3G
sharing the capacity and load information, reduces the signalling load between the
radio network and CN, accelerates the procedure of signalling processing, improves
the handover success rate, and balances 2G/3G traffic load. Through the Iur-g
interface inside the dual-mode controller, ZXUR 9000 UMTS connects to RNC and
BSC, and adopts the enhanced Iur-g handover procedure to reduce the 2G/3G
handover delay. Through the inner interfaces of RNC, ZXUR 9000 UMTS obtains the
system information of BSC's external neighbor cell for crossing system, which takes
less time than the conventional way, that is, the information is forwarded from CN to
BSC/RNC, and alleviates the signalling interaction loads between the CN and radio
network.

Chapter 1 Overview
l Shared operation and maintenance

ZXUR 9000 UMTS only uses one set of NM system to perform centralized
management and maintenance on the 2G/3G network, to reduce the costs.
l Shared transmission processing
ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports 2G Abis/A/Gb and 3G Iub/Iu-CS/Iu-PS accessing the
network through transmission sharing mode, which saves the transmission resources
over the Abis/Iub, A/Iu-CS, and Gb/Iu-PS interfaces to a great extent, and improves
the allocation and utilization of transmission resources.
l Shared main control function
2G and 3G employ the same main control unit, to reduce the board types, share the
hardware resources, and save the costs of networking and maintenance.
l Multi-clock synchronization
ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports multi-clock synchronization. For the abrupt problems,
such as clock fault, it provides 1+1 hot backup for automatic changeover, to satisfy
the operation and maintenance requirement of operators.
Carrier-Class Reliability
ZXUR 9000 UMTS adopts a modular design that facilitates installation and maintenance
and makes capacity expansion or adjustment flexible. With good strength and rigidity, the
cabinet will hardly become loose, deformed, or damaged during installation/uninstallation,
storage and transportation. Besides, the cabinet structure has well-designed cooling and
good electromagnetic compatibility.
All the key components employ 1 1 active/standby backup mode, and other components
adopt load sharing mode. With high application reliability, ZXUR 9000 UMTS employs the
Linux operating system, and supports active/standby mode of process-class software.
Environment-Friendly Design
The system is designed by observing relevant environment preserving regulations and
standards. The increasing energy tense and ever deteriorating environment have made
environment-friendly design and low power consumption important concerns for telecom
operators, who not only take environment preservation a social responsibility and a means
for reducing cost, but also promote the formulation of relevant regulations and standards.
Compared with two independent controllers, ZXUR 9000 UMTS reduces the power
consumption itself by employing a set of physical devices to deploy two logic networks.
Besides, the overall power consumption of the system is reduced with advanced technical
measures from ZTE corporation. Such as, utilization of radio resources is improved
through the message interaction among different modes, to achieve a perfect dynamic
power-consumption management strategy, and some carriers and boards of low utilization
can be shut off appropriately, to reduce power consumption and save energy.
1-5

More Competitive Evolution Potential

ZXUR 9000 UMTS provides varieties of external interfaces that are compatible with both
full-IP requirements and traditional E1 and TDM access. When employing the IP sharing
transmission mode, it supports such interfaces as 2G Abis, 2G A, 2G Gb, 3G Iub, 3G
Iu-CS, and 3G Iu-PS accessing the network, to save the transmission resources to a great
extent. The system, as the resources of IPV4 are deteriorating, is compatible with IPV6.
In addition, it is compatible with future development: the media access system considers
the operator's investment benefit in that it is compatible with multi-mode application and
the evolution to LTE, HSPA+.
Easy Operation and Maintenance

ZXUR 9000 UMTS integrates several logic networks into a physical network which
facilitates operators deploying 3G network, upgrading and replacing 2G network, to
obtain several networks at the cost of almost one network, reduce the operation and
maintenance work and costs, and improve the utilization of radio, transmission, and
processing resources to a certain extent.
Besides, ZXUR 9000 UMTS adopts a new hardware architecture, which embodies
the operation and maintenance board, the data switching and processing board, the
interface board, and the service processing board, to reduce the board backup types
and maintenance costs, and facilitate daily maintenance by providing a unified external
operation and maintenance platform among different modes.

2-2

Chapter 2 Function
algorithms.According to the 3GPP specification, the F9 and KASUMI algorithms are

adopted as the ciphering algorithms.
2.2.4 Introduction to Synchronization

Synchronization in UTRAN involves network synchronization, node synchronization, and
radio interface synchronization.
2.2.5 Introduction to NAS Message Distribution

2.2.6 Introduction to System Message Broadcast

The system message broadcast provides the UE with the access layer and non-access
layer information needed in acquisition of the UMTS service.
2.2.7 Introduction to Paging Function

The objective of the paging function is to enable a UE to receive the notification of being
called in various states, thus contacting the network.
2.3 Radio Resources Management

Radio resources management (RRM) allocates and uses air interface resources, to ensure
the service quality of the system (QoS), and to obtain the planned coverage area and
improve capacity.
The radio resources management involves the radio measurement, access control, load
control, power control, handover control, dynamic radio bearer control, congestion control,
code resources management, and load balance.
2.3.1 Introduction to Radio Measurement Function

The objective of radio measurement is to measure the radio channel quality. The
measurement types may include the RX signal intensity of the current and adjacent cells,
bit error ratios of the current and adjacent cells, RX interference level, total downlink TX
power of each cell, transmission scope, Doppler shift, synchronization status and so
on.The measurement results are used in handover decision, access control, load control
and so on.
2-3

2.3.2 Introduction to Access Control Function

When new cell resources are requested (such as new services accessing to a cell,
increased rate of PS sevices borne on DCH, service status switchover between FACH
and DCH or between DCH and HSPA), access control function is to decide whether
to access new service requirements according to the current resources, to prevent the
system from overload, and to keep the system reliable. In addition, access control is
to access services to a great extent, when services are adequate, fully utilizing system
resources and ensuring OoS of users.
New services are requested under such scenarios as RRC connection establishment,
RAB establishment, RAB modification, SRNC relocation, Iur interface handover, Intra-RNC
handover, and dynamic channel allocation.After receiving the request, RNC, according
to the service attribute and equipment capability, selects the transmission channel type.
After that, it decides whether to access corresponding channels according to the resources
utilization of the target channel of the current cell, and the resources needed by services.
When new cell services are requested, RNC balances the system resources in advance
according to cell resources utilization, to prevent inadequate resources during access, and
prevent the cell from overload after access.
The RAN equipment from ZTE Corporation implements access control according to
priorities. That is, users and services with higher priority are likely to obtain more system
resources and better QoS service.
2.3.3 Introduction to Load Control Function

Load control is to monitor the system load. When the system is close to overload or already
in the overload status, it is used to control the system so that it can smoothly return to the
stable status as best as possible. When the system returns to the stable status, it can also
be used to control the traffic to acquire better QoS service (such as a better rate, or higher
transmission reliability).
2.3.4 Introduction to Power Control Function

The power control of RMC involves the downlink/uplink open-loop power control, power
balance, and uplink/dowenlink outer-loop power control.
l Downlink open-loop power control is used to set the initial TX power of a downlink
channel according to a UEs downlink measurement report.
l Power balance, when RNC achieves macro diversity balance, is to balance the
transmitting power of several downlink radio links and solve power offset.
l Uplink outer loop power control is to set the quality target value of Node B uplink inner
loop power control by means of quality estimation of the transmission channel, thus
achieving the objective of controlling uplink radio channel quality within a long sector.
l Uplink open-loop power control is used to set the initial TX power of a UE according
to the UEs measurement report information in cases like random access.
l Downlink outer loop power control is performed by UE. It is to set the quality target
value of its downlink inner loop power control by means of quality estimation of the
2-4

Chapter 2 Function
transmission channel too, thus achieving the objective of controlling the downlink radio
channel quality within a long sector.RNC is responsible for setting of some parameters
used in downlink outer loop power control.
2.3.5 Introduction to Handover Control Function

Handover control is based on radio measurement, which is used to perform mobility
management over the radio interface and ensure the core networks QoS requirement.It
involves the following types of handover control:
l Intra-RNC soft handover
The intra-RNC soft handover indicates that the Node Bs where the cells involved in
soft handover are located are under the administration of one RNC.
l Intra-RNC softer handover
The intra-RNC softer handover indicates the handover among several cells under the
administration of one Node B. The cells connect with UE at the same time, which is
called macro diversity.
l Inter-RNC soft handover
The Inter-RNC soft handover falls into two types: One is performed between sectors
with the same frequency under different Node Bs, the other is performed between
Node Bs under the administration of different RNCs through crossing the Iur interface.
l Intra-RNC hard handover
Refers to the hard handover between Node Bs under the administration of the same
RNC.
l Inter-RNC hard handover
It refers to the hard handover between Node Bs under the administration of different
RNCs.
l Reverse handover
It refers to the UE-controlled handover in case the configuration fails or under
conditions such as adverse radio environment (CELL UPDATE and URA UPDATE for
instance).It also includes intra-RNC and inter-RNC handover, that is, the intra-RNC
reverse handover and inter-RNC reverse handover.
l SRNS relocation
It refers to the shift of the Iu interface connection from SRNC to DRNC after all the
radio links have been shifted to DRNC.
l Inter-system handover
It refers to the mobility management of UE from one radio access system to another
radio access system (from UTRAN to GERAN).It requires that UE supports WCDMA
and GSM modes. in addition, the GSM system should provide corresponding
functions to support handover between different systems.
2-5

l Change of HSDPA and HSUPA serving cells

During the soft handover in the system, when the best cell changes, if the HS-PDSCH
channel exists before and after the handover, the HS-PDSCH serving cell is triggered
to change. If the HS-PDSCH channel exists before and after the hard handover, the
HS-PDSCH serving cell will be changed. Only one of the HSDPA and HSUPA serving
cells exists.
2.3.6 Introduction to Dynamic Radio Bearer Control

Dynamic radio bearer control (DRBC), according to user's demand and system resources
utilization, is to reasonably allocate resources during the system operation, to fully utilize
bandwidth.
The DRBC control module dynamically adjusts the bearing channel of PS and CS services
and the real-time rate, ensuring the full utilization of radio resources of the system, and
the system reliability and the Qos of services.
The DRBC strategies involve:
l Initial channel allocation. When the channel is set up initially, proper channel and rate
configuration are allocated to services according to service demand and the system
status.It includes the channel allocation of signalling, initial services, and concurrent
services.
l Channel migration. Proper transmission channel configuration is selected for the PS
services according to their actual rates. The channel type can be changed with the
rate of PS services.When the actual data traffic of users is lower than the bandwidth
allocated by the system, the bandwidth is reduced to save resources. When the
actual data traffic of users is close to their allocated bandwidth, the bandwidth
is properly improved to prevent services of users from being affected.During the
session, the dynamic radio bearer control is to adjust the service bandwidth in
real time and perform handover between channels according to the measurement
results.The conversational CS services occupy the downlink/uplink DCH channel,
the streaming services occupy the DCH-type channel, and the interactive and
background services occupy the FACH and DCH-type channels.The migration from
PCH to DCH is not supported, but the status migration among PCH, FACH, and DCH
is supported.
2.3.7 Introduction to Congestion Control Function

Congestion control is to reallocate radio resources when the system is congestioned, and
alleviate congestion according to the service attribute, to improve connection rate, and
make services with different priorities utilize system resources reasonably.
When the uplink/downlink loads are close to or over the access control threshold, new
services cannnot be accessed due to inadequate resources. That is, congestion occurs
to the system, which calls for RNC to implement congestion control strategies.The
service request includes RAB establishment, modification/negotiation/renegotiation
2-6

Chapter 2 Function
of SRNC access and relocation, cross-Iur RL setup, intra-RNC incoming handover,

inter-system handover, inter-frequency handover, inter-RNC incoming handover, RAB
two establishments of the same user, and the improvement of service rate triggered by
the dynamic radio bearer adjustment.
When congestion occurs to the system, functions preempted by resources can be
triggered, to show the difference of users with different priorities and improve the call
connection rate of the system. Two main strategies are as follows:
l Release by force: High-priority services with forcible release capability can release the
services of users with low priority. User with high priority acchieves access through
the preemption of users with low priority and whose services can be released by force,
to show the service difference among users.
l Reduce the rate: The data rate of online users is reduced to improve the call
connection rate.
2.3.8 Introduction to Code Resources Control Function

Code resources control is to dynamically allocate downlink channelized code for a cell
according to a certain standard, to utilize code resources to a great extent, and to improve
the system capacity.
During the service setup, RNC calculates SF and allocate corresponding channelized
code according to the service rate. After the service is released, the channelized code is
also released to allocate to other users.For each cell, RNC maintains a channelized code
table, and records such statuses of each code as idle, allocated, or shielded.During code
allocation, the shielding of idle code resources blocks should be reduced initially.
When HSDPA and R99 use the same carrier, the throughput of the HSDPA services in
each cell are affected by the number of the HS-PDSCH channels, that is, the number (16)
of SFs allocated to the HS-PDSCH channel.ZTE RNC supports the number of channels
statically allocated or the number of channels dynamically allocated to HS-PDSCH. The
dynamic allocation can reflect the change of system loads more rapidly and flexibly.
2.3.9 Introduction to Code Resources Control Function

Code resources control is to dynamically allocate downlink channelized code for a cell
according to a certain standard, to utilize code resources to a great extent, and to improve
the system capacity.
During the service setup, RNC calculates SF and allocate corresponding channelized
code according to the service rate. After the service is released, the channelized code is
also released to allocate to other users.For each cell, RNC maintains a channelized code
table, and records such statuses of each code as idle, allocated, or shielded.During code

When HSDPA and R99 use the same carrier, the throughput of the HSDPA services in
each cell are affected by the number of the HS-PDSCH channels, that is, the number (16)
of SFs allocated to the HS-PDSCH channel.ZTE RNC supports the number of channels
2-7

statically allocated or the number of channels dynamically allocated to HS-PDSCH. The

dynamic allocation can reflect the change of system loads more rapidly and flexibly.
2.4 User Data Transmission

User data transmission involves signalling data transmission and user data transmission,
processing IUUP/RLC/MAC/FP. It implements the data ciphering, and flow control of
Mac-C and Mac-hs, and provides users with end-to-end data transmission function.

Networking With Base Station ....................................................................................6-1
Networking With Core Network...................................................................................6-4
Networking With Radio Network Controller .................................................................6-4
6.1 Overview
The ZXUR 9000 UMTS has good compatibility with the existing 2 G/3 G base station
equipment from operators, and supports to connect to 2 G/3 G base stations and 2 G/3
G core networks through several transmission modes. Reasonable networking assists in
the long-term network planning and the reduction of networking costs.
6.2 Networking With Base Station

The networking between ZXUR 9000 UMTS and the base station supports the ATM
transmission, SDH transmission, IP transmission, or the hybrid transmission.
l The ATM STM-1 interface at the base station is available to the operator's ATM
network for accessing to ZXUR 9000 UMTS.
l In the SDH transmission network, the base station can be connected to ZXUR 9000
UMTS over the narrowband E1/T1, and CSTM-1 interfaces.
l ZXUR 9000 UMTS can be interconnected and interchanged with the IP backbone
network. Selecting appropriate access mode and differentiating different VLANs
can effectively separate broadcast storms from Ethernet. Meanwhile, setting a
broadband network access server (BNAS) in the network is capable of implementing
authentication and security control.
l The hybrid networking, which is applicable to ZXUR 9000 UMTS and the base station,
falls into IP network and conventional SDH transmission network based on sites, or the
SDH network and IP backbone network based on CS and PS services respectively.
According to the network topology, star networking, chain networking, ring networking
(requires supported transmission network), and hybrid networking are applicable to ZXUR
9000 UMTS and the base station.
l In start networking, ZXUR 9000 UMTS is directly connected with each base station
which is a kind of end equipment. This networking mode is very simple and the
maintenance and engineering are very convenient too. Because signal passes
6-1

through fewer intermediate links along the transmission path, the link reliability is
much higher. Star networking is usually applied in dense-populated urban areas.
l Chain networking is usually applied in strip-shaped, sparse-populated areas, and a
large amount of transmission equipment can be saved. The chain networking mode
is also applicable to one site with multiple base stations. Since signals go through
more links, the line reliability is relatively poor.
In actual engineering networking, since the sites are generally sparse, the difference
with the basic networking mode is that transmission equipment is generally needed
between ZXUR 9000 UMTS and base stations to serve the purpose of intermediate
connection. The common transmission media include: microwave, optical cable,
HDSL cable, and coaxial cable.
l The ring networking mode involves two sets of links running in the active/standby
mode. Every node on the ring has two upper-level nodes, which increases the link
reliability. In this case, when a site is damaged or a link fails, the lower-level nodes
can select another link as the active link.
Note:
The ring networking between ZXUR 9000 UMTS and base stations is dependent upon
transmission equipment.
l Hybrid networking is easily adaptable to the current transmission mode of the

operator. In early establishment of the network, hybrid networking makes the most of
the established transmission network, thus saving the network cost and speeding the
network establishment for the operator to grasp business opportunity. With scattered
base stations, hybrid networking supports multiple topologies, thus making network
establishment flexible and simple.
6.2.1 Networking With 2G/3G Base Stations

ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports to connect with 2G and 3G base station equipment
simultaneously. It connects with the 2G and 3G base station equipment through the
Abis interface and the Iub interface respectively. The transmission media are applicable
to such transmission network resources as E1, T1, SDH, and IP.Figure 6-1 shows the
networking involving ZXUR 9000 UMTS, and 2G/3G base stations.

Chapter 6 Networking
Figure 6-1 Networking With 2G/3G Base Stations
6.2.2 Networking With Multi-Mode Base Station

ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports to connect with multi-mode base stations whose configuration
type decides the interface type. The transmission media are applicable to such
transmission network resources as E1, T1, SDH, and IP.Figure 6-2 shows the networking
involving ZXUR 9000 UMTS and multi-mode base stations.

6.3 Networking With Core Network

When networking with CN, the ZXUR 9000 UMTS connects with MSC and MGW
through the Iu-CS interfaces, and connects with SGSN through the Iu-PS interfaces.
The transmission protocols involve the ATM and IP protocols. The transmission media
are applicable to the E1, T1, SDH, and IP transmission network resources.Figure 6-3
illustrates the networking with CN.
Figure 6-3 Networking With Core Network
6.4 Networking With Radio Network Controller

When networking with RNC, the ZXUR 9000 UMTS connects with RNC through the Iur
interface. The transmission media are applicable to such transmission network resources
as E1, T1, SDH, and IP.Figure 6-4 illustrates the networking with RNC.

9.1 Hardware Reliability Design

The rack and service subracks all adopt dual power supplies, so that at least
double-channel cables are used inside the rack. The control plane boards adopt the
active/standby working mode, while the user plane boards adopt the load sharing working
mode. The interface boards adopt either the active/standby or the load sharing working
mode. Therefore, the faults of any individual hardware do not affect the normal operation
of the system.
Board Backup Modes

To ensure reliability, the key boards of the ZXUR 9000 UMTS system provide the 1+1
backup and load sharing modes.
l 1+1 backup
The two boards working in the active/standby mode operate at the same time and
process the same service. The board in standby mode does not output service
information.
When the board in active mode becomes faulty, the system immediately performs
active/standby switchover, which does not affect the system functions.
l Load sharing
The boards working in the load sharing mode backups the service data. That is, when
services are running, related service data is allocated to the load sharing boards. If
one of the boards is faulty, the system negotiates to rapidly allocate the service data
to other load sharing boards, to ensure the normal running of services.
Backup Modes Supported by Boards

Table 9-1 describes the backup modes supported by ZXUR 9000 UMTS boards.

9.2 Clock Synchronization Reference

The system has several clock source outputs.Under self-synchronization mode, the
local oscillator clock signal is applied. Under master/subordinate synchronization mode,
the clock source can be the external synchronous BTS clock, GPS clock, or the line
synchronous clock extracted from any of the optical interface boards or trunk interface
boards. The clock selects one phase-locked circuit from any of the appropriate clock
source and locks its phase. After that, synchronous clock needed by the system is
generated, drived by the clock, and allocated to the resource shelves in the system and
subsystems.
The clock input source of the clock module involves BITS, local oscillator, line extractor,
and GPS.
9.3 EMC Design

EMC design focuses on the rack, and the shielding and grounding of subracks. Subracks
are designed with shielding levels. The cabinet is in a complete architecture form even it
is not installed with shielding materials.
According to subracks' requirement of EMC electromagnetic shielding, the subrack surface
is made plating treatment, to make the subrack conductive. The rack is designed with
9-2

Chapter 9 Reliability
grounding terminal that should be of reliable grounding and identification. The antistatic
grounding device, which is used for the subrack connecting with rack, is available to the
subrack.
9.4 Grounding and Security Design

Grounding of electronic equipment is for security and preventing interference. ZXUR 9000
UMTS has built-in protective grounding cable, system grounding cable, and shielded
grounding cable. The following requirements are met in design:
l Door-rack is of good electrostatic discharge means with grounding cable connecting
doors (front, rear, left, and right) and the rack.The rack has grounding busbar with
obvious identification.
l Subrack-rack has good electrostatic discharge means. The rack is galvanized
colorfully. The pole holes for installing subracks and the contacting part between the
pole and the rack are secured with conductivity. The inside of subrack panel is also
secured with conductivity. Therefore, subracks have good electrostatic discharge
means between poles and the rack. The side beam of subrack is nickel plated, to
ensure good conductivity between the side beam and rack.
l The protective grounding of subracks is implemented through the connection of
subrack side beam and rack, while the working ground and -48 V ground of subracks
are connected to the rack busbar through cables, to connect with the ground busbar
of the equipment room.
l The air filter which is added to the air intake at the rack bottom: it uses ABS plastic
as the frame, with nylon net inside. The air filter is flexible. The door air filter: it uses
metal as the frame, with polyurethane second foaming plastic inside. Both types of air
filters can be reused after cleaning, and are easy for installation and disassembling.
l The cabinet is designed with unexposed and touchable sharp edge, to prevent
damages to operation and maintenance personnel. Operation instruction is pasted
on the cabinet door, to regulate installation and maintenance, and ensure security. In
addition, warning signs are available to corresponding operation and maintenance
positions.
9.5 Software Reliability Design

The system software adopts reliable design. All the system, except the external operation
and maintenance interfaces, has an internal communication network completely separated
from the outer network. Besides, the system is equipped with a built-in firewall to protect
the external O & M interfaces against attacks. At the same time, the O & M subsystem
supports high-security authentication design, which enables the authorization of different
levels of operations to users.
The product has powerful fault tolerance, which can be illustrated by the following aspects:
l Automatic testing for user-defined configurations. Illegal or improper configuration will

be rejected, and the user will be prompted to make proper settings.
9-3

l Supports the backup of the key version or major data as the basis for rollback in the
case of failed loading of a version or relevant data.
l The Watchdog function can restart a board to resume operation when an error occurs
during the software operation. Meanwhile, the black box records the runtime errors
for further analysis.
l During the backup of hardware, the software can automatically test the faults occurring
at ports, links, and other faults. If any fault is tested, the software automatically start
or activate the standby unit to ensure proper system operation.
9.6 Heat Dissipation Design

The upper and lower air duct for heat dissipation is formed with the combination of the rack
with other subracks, including the fan subrack, ventilation subrack, wind trap subrack,
and ventilation panel. The fan-drived ventilation can meet the ventilation and cooling
requirement inside the subracks. The air inlet can be installed with the dustproof screen.
The air duct for heat dissipation of ZXUR 9000 UMTS is shown in Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1 Ventilation Subrack Air Flow
The figure above illustrates the air outlet at the top of the cabinet. The air enters the cabinet
from under the service subrack horizontally, and turns vertical after flowing through the
ventilation subrack, bringing heats from inside the cabinet to the outlet above the service
subrack. This is an efficient way of heat dissipation.
