Preface
Manual
Description

Thank you very much for choosing the UMTS wireless access system of ZTE Corporation
The UMTS wireless access system of ZTE is a 3G mobile communication system developed on a basis of the UMTS technology. It
features strong capability in CS and PS service processing and provides diversified services. Compared with GSM, UMTS delivers a
wider range of telecommunication services, including such multimedia services as voice, data, and image transmission, with higher
rate and resource utilization ratio.
ZXWR RNC, a new generation radio network controller in the ZTE
UMTS V3 family, delivers functions of system access control, security mode control, mobility management, and radio resource management and control, etc.
ZXWR RNC provides all the functions defined in the 3GPP
R99/R4/R5/R6/R7 protocol, and offers Iu, Iub, and Iur series
standard interfaces, which enable it to connect with CNs, RNCs,
and Node Bs from different manufacuturers.
Developed on a basis of ZTE all IP unified hardware platform,
ZXWR RNC features a distributed design, separating control plane
and user plane as well as interface and application. It supports
ATM/IP dual protocol stack and can smoothly evolve to full IP
UTRAN.

Chapter 6 Front Boards and Rear Boards Replacement

Note:

If APBE board is used as the interface board of Iu-CS and no


backup is configured for it, replacing this board will cause the
interruption of all services in the CS domain.

If APBE board is used as the interface board of Iu-PS and no


backup is configured for it, replacing this board will cause the
interruption of all services in the PS domain.

the slot following the instructions given in the section General
Instructions for Plugging/Unplugging a Front Board, and then
fix it.
5. Connect the fibers to corresponding interfaces of the new board
according to the recorded mapping relations.
6. Wait for one minute and observe the running status of the
board. Check and make sure that the RUN indicator blinks
at the frequency of 1Hz and the ALM indicator is OFF.
7. Notify network management personnel of the board replacement plan because large amounts of alarms will occur during
the replacement.

no backup is configured for it, replacing this board will cause
the complete interruption of the services in the base stations
related to the board.

Procedure

Caution:
Wire the antistatic wrist strap before replacing the board.
1. Record the mapping relations between all cables and corresponding interfaces of the board.
2. If 1+1 backup mode is used and the board to be replaced is
the active one, switch the board into the standby state first. If
the board is the standby one, proceed to the next step directly.
3. Disconnect all cables connected to the board.
