In the following document we will discuss how to integrate 2 DUWs connected toge
ther and where one acts as a primary and the second one as a secondary.
Physical Cabling
Installing Cables1 Information on where to connect the cables can be found in An
tenna and RF Connections or RBS Configurations. To install DUW cables, perform t
he following procedure: Make sure that the new, secondary DUW has the secondary
(SEC) end of the IDL cable inserted (see figure above number 3). Make sure that
the primary, already installed, DUW has power on: 1. Insert the primary (PRIM) e
nd of the IDL cable in the primary, already installed, DUW. 2. Insert the Common
Public Radio Interface (CPRI) cable in both the primary DUW and the secondary D
UW(see figure above number 4). 3. Connect the power cable (-48 V DC) to the seco
ndary DUW. 4. Turn on power to the secondary DUW. 5. Check the result of the aut
omatic restore procedure. If this is performed on site, connect the client to th
e Ethernet port of the primary DUW and use the Element Manager to check the stat
e of faultTolerantCoreStates on MO ManagedElement. The already configured DUW ha
s state Active. The new DUW has state PassiveNotReady during the restore procedu
re. The new DUW has state PassiveReady when the restore procedure is finished. I
f the automatic restore procedure fails, restore the dual DUW configuration as d
escribed in Restoring Digital Units. 6. Change RUs or RRUs and cabling, if neces
sary for the expansion. We have different types of configuration which we will d
iscuss later on in this document.

Scratch load the node
To set up a serial connection, perform the following procedure:
1. 2. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the serial port (LMT A)
of the primary DUW. Use any software for terminal emulation for example Putty a
nd put the following parameters: baud rate = 9600 bits per second parity = none
stop bits = 1 bit data bits = 8 bits flow control = none
The $ prompt is shown indicating that a serial connection to the primary DUW is
established.
Then scratch load the node by doing the following commands:
reload -// to go in backup mode formathd /d // drive d will be formatted y reloa
d // go out of backup mode reload -// enter backup mode formathd /c2 // diver c
is formatted y vols // check that c and d are formatted reload // go out of back
up mode
To set the IP address of the node do the following:
ifconfig le0 <node_ip_address> netmask <netmask_node_ip_address> broadcast <broa
scast_node_ip_address>
Afterwards add +1 to the IP address of the node and insert it in the laptop IP a
ddress. Go to network and sharing center click on manage network connections Rig
ht click on local area connection properties
4
Uncheck the box as shown in the figure above, then select IPv4 then click on pro
perties
Choose use the following IP and put the appropriate IP address of the laptop: <nod
e_ip_address+1> Also put in the subnet mask 255.255.0.0, afterwards click OK The
n connect to the LMT B with the Ethernet cable so you can ftp the basic package
onto the node by using for example windows total commander. After copying drivers
c2 and d from the basic CV package connect in serial mode and do the following:
reload passwd rbs rbs ifconfig // to restart the node. // to change password
// to check IP address
5
Go back to Ethernet connection, and download and install the EMAS from the follo
wing website:
http://<node_ip_address>/em/index.html
Then Open EMAS and connect to the node:
Insert the IP address of the node (10.120.21.35 in this case) and click Connect.
Please note that everytime you scratch load the node the finger print will chang
e and you will need to request a new license.

Cabinet Equipment configuration wizard
Go to Cabinet Equipment Configuration and follow the steps. You can find all the
info needed by logging into AMos and putting the product data.
7
Afterwards all that is left is to put the IP address of the node with the defaul
t router.
After click Finish and the EMAS will close on its own.
8
Now connect in serial mode and wait until the synchronize finishes. You will see
the following window:
In Amos:

If the DUW is Active that means that DUW is the primary one, if its Passive not
Ready means the secondary DUW is not synched with the primary, and if the DUW is
PassiveReady means that the secondary DUW is synchronized with the primary.

Site equipment configuration wizard
We have different types of configurations, for example 3x2 configurations which
stands for 3 sectors 2 carriers per sector hence 6 cells. Here are the different
configurations we can have with 2 DUWs: RBB12 1a used for 6x2 RBB12 1a used for
3x2 + 3x2

As you will notice in the 6x2 mode, we have f1 and f2 hence 2 carriers on the sa
me band ( e.g. 1900 MHz) and 6 sectors. In the 3x2+3x2 we have 2 carriers on eac
h sector but 3 of them are on a different band, hence we have 2 bands. RBB22 1a
used for 3x3 ->3x4

In the mode 3x3 or 3x4, we have 3 sectors and in each sectors we have 3 or 4 car
riers (f1, f2, f3 and f4) depending which mode it is in.
11
In this document we will discuss the 3x3 configuration, in other words we have 3
sectors and each sector has 3 cells.
Click Next
If you have the script then check the box in the use configuration file and browse
to that file, if not just click Next. In the second window you will see the progr
ess green bar getting full and at the end you will see the result: current confi
guration successfully loaded from RBS. Click Next to proceed to page 3.
12
On page 3 you just need to fill out the site and logic name which should be the
RBS-Id. On page 4 click Next unless the SAU unit is connected to the DUW.
On page 5, you have to choose the Radio building block, in our case it will be R
BB22_1A, as for the line rate Ox2 (1.2 Gb/s link) which Specifies the capacity o
n an optical or electrical link. And in the port Id we have BU1_A and BU1_B whic
h is for the primary DUW where the sectors are connected to slot RI A and RI B,
as for the third one BU2_C its where the third sector is connected to slot RI C b
ut on the secondary DUW. Sector sequence it should be 1. Click Next. On page 6 y
ou can insert the location information for each sector. After all this is done,
click Next and you will see the following window.
13
In page 7, you define the cell Ids and the cell range, now in the example above
we have Number of TX branches 2, this means that all the RRUW have all 3 carrier
s. But if you want them to be separated the Number of TX branches should be set
to 1. By doing so we will have the following:

After clicking Next we get to page 8 here we get to choose the band, here we have
band 2 = 1900 MHz.
Band 1 (2100 MHz) Band 0 (900 MHz) Band 2 (1900 MHz) Band 3 (1800 MHz) Band 5 (8
50 MHz) Band 8 (900 MHz)
14
Page 9, you insert the values for frequency band low edge and high edge; those v
alues should be in accordance to uarfcn value in the RNC. In this case we have 193
00 and 19450 which means its uarcfndl 412 and uarfcnul 12.Click Next and go to the
next page. Page 10 all the attenuation is set to 0 unless requested otherwise. C
lick Next when done.
In page 11 we can notice we have 2 baseband pools, one on slot 1 meaning the pri
mary DUW and the second baseband pool on slot 2 which is the secondary DUW. We c
an allocate 3 num Hs codes for each sector but for the num EUL resources we can
only have one baseband pool with EUL this means that a maximum of 6 cells can ha
ve EUL channel enabled. However there is a feature on the DUW called EulForLarge
RbsConfig if activated we can have a second baseband pool with EUL enabled and i
n this case we will have 9 cells EUL enabled. Click Next Then on page 12 click on F
inish.
15
O&M access configuration:
Now go to tools O&M Access configuration If you dont have the configuration file
just click Next. Then on page 2 wait until the bar is complete then click Next.
On page 3 you need to insert the IP address of the node, with the subnet mask an
d the Transport option is IPV4. On page 4 for the GigaBitEthernet select TNA, here
also you need to put the IP and Subnet mask. As for VID you need to put the O&M
VLAN ID.
16
On page 5 similar to page 4 but you also need to insert IP sync reference as sho
wn in the figure below. On page 6 you need to put the information for the static
routing.
Page 7, no changes are required here. Page 8, insert the NTP server address.
17
On Page 9 you will see 2 DUWs, the changes required will be only on the DUW in s
lot 1, since the second DUW is only for expansion so it doesnt have O&M connectiv
ity. Hence in slot 1 DUW you can select 5, if Network Synchronization is done th
rough a GPS signal or select 7, if Network Synchronization is done through IP In
terface.
On page 10 click Finish. Then the window below will appear click OK, then Close all.

Tips and tricks:
1) If you want to change the configuration of the sectors in the DUWs, here is a
quick way to do it, without having to scratch load the node again.
After doing the O&M Access configuration, save a CV and make startable by doing c
vms in AMos Go to EMAS Tools Export and Delete. Afterward check the box delete cab
inet equipment and site equipment configuration and click OK. A new CV will be crea
ted in AMos automatically, when this is done, you just have to redo the cabinet
equipment and site equipment configuration wizard. That way you will be able to
try as many configurations as you want without having neither to scratch load th
e node nor to do the O&M Access configuration everytime.
