1.2 Basic Functions
This section describes the basic functions of the UMG8900.
Issue 01 (2012-03-13) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

1.1 Product Orientation

This section describes the product orientation of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 is based on the standard next generation network (NGN) architecture. It is the
crucial device in the NGN solution provided by Huawei.
The UMG8900 is of flexible configuration, and thus can serve as the following service gateways
at the access layer in the NGN:
l Trunk gateway (TG)
l Access gateway (AG)
l Embedded signaling gateway (SG)
l NGN-enabled switch
l Video interworking gateway (VIG)
l Integrated application of the AG, TG, SG, and VIG
This section describes the applications.
TG Application
The TG, located at the edge access layer of the NGN, connects to the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) and the NGN and accesses PSTN services to the NGN.
The TG converts formats and bearer modes for service streams from the PSTN to the packet
switched network. The TG supports various voice services and narrowband data services.
The UMG8900 can work as a TG in the NGN and support bearer conversion from time division
multiplexing (TDM) to Internet Protocol (IP)/asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) packet
networks, voice codecs such as G.711, G.723, G.726, and G.729, and fax and modem services.
The UMG8900 also supports the embedded SG function to adapt and forward the narrowband
signaling to a broadband packet network. It supports the standard Signaling Transport
(SIGTRAN) protocol, and thus can reduce the networking complexity and the capital
expenditure (CAPEX) for a network.
When the UMG8900 acts as a TG, it supports interworking of voice services between two IP
networks. In this case, the UMG8900 provides the IP interworking gateway function, and the
IP address planning in the two IP networks can be the same or different. The UMG8900 converts
the IP addresses and the transport protocol ports between the two networks.
AG Application
The AG, located at the edge access layer of the NGN, provides access for various types of
services to implement dense access of voice service subscribers. In addition, the AG can connect
traditional PSTN subscribers of the private branch exchange (PBX), V5 access network, and
primary rate interface (PRI).
The AG converts the narrowband voice and data streams into the formats that can be transferred
in IP packet networks.
The UMG8900 can serve as an AG in the NGN and support narrowband and broadband
integrated access services.

The UMG8900, acting as an AG, supports the StandAlone function. That is, if the
communication between the UMG8900 and the softswitch is interrupted, the UMG8900 can
provide basic voice call services and generate bills for subscribers connected. At present, the
UMG8900 supports plain old telephone service (POTS) subscribers in user access module
(UAM) or V5 access mode.
Embedded SG Application
The SG, located at the edge access layer of the NGN, connects traditional PSTN narrowband
networks and transfers the signaling in the PSTN to the NGN for the interworking on call control
planes between networks.
The SG provides traditional narrowband network interfaces and relevant standard signaling such
as Signaling System Number 7 (SS7) to connect to narrowband telecommunication devices. The
SG provides packet network interfaces and the standard SIGTRAN protocol to connect to the
NGN devices and transfer narrowband signaling on IP packet networks.
The UMG8900 supports the embedded SG function. If no independent SG or signaling transfer
point (STP) exists in the network, the embedded SG of the UMG8900 can be used for the
networking.
The UMG8900 supports adaptation protocols such as MTP2 User Adaptation (M2UA), MTP3
User Adaptation (M3UA), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-User Adaptation
Layer (IUA), and V5 User Adaptation (V5UA). It can adapt the IP packets and transfer SS7,
ISDN signaling, and V5 protocol.
NGN-Enabled Switch
The UMG8900 supports flexible hardware configuration. It also supports configuration of TDM
and IP trunks at a random ratio.
The UMG8900 supports multi-frame cascading, high-capacity TDM switching, and TDM-
trunk-only application. The UMG8900 can work with the MGC to serve as an NGN-enabled
switch in the PSTN and support C5/C4 applications.
VIG Application
The VIG, located at the edge access layer of the NGN, connects to networks such as universal
mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) and H.323 supporting video services to implement
interworking of video services between different networks.
The VIG converts the formats of video service streams. It also implements interworking between
video service terminals in different networks by adapting video service streams based on bearer
modes.
The UMG8900 can serve as a VIG in the NGN to implement the interworking of video services.
It supports various modes of audio and video codecs defined by the H.324 and H.323 protocol
families, including video call control and video service multiplexing protocols. It also converts
formats of different service streams.
Integrated Application
The UMG8900 can serve as an AG, a VIG, or a TG independently and provide their service
functions at the same time to implement service convergence and reduce network construction
CAPEX.

The UMG8900 is designed with flexible hardware and software architectures. It supports
integrated services of fixed networks and mobile networks by software upgrade, where the two
kinds of networks share the same core IP bearer network.
NOTE
The UMG8900 must work with the MGC to act as an NGN-enabled switch. This NGN-enabled switch is
similar to a TG in a tandem/gateway exchange and an AG in a local exchange.
1.2 Basic Functions

This section describes the basic functions of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 converts service bearers, enables interworking between bearers, and processes
service stream formats. The UMG8900, based on the standard next generation network (NGN)
architecture, is key device in the NGN solution provided by Huawei.It can help carriers to build
a low-cost, profitable, and future-oriented communication network.
The UMG8900 provides the following basic functions:
l G.711A/G.711u/G.723.1/G.726/G.729/RFC2833 voice codecs and codec conversion
l Tandem Free Operation (TFO)/Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO)
l Voice quality enhancement technologies such as jitter buffer (JB), echo cancellation (EC),
voice activity detection (VAD), comfort noise generation (CNG), and packet loss
concealment (PLC)
l Announcement playing, digit collecting and sending, tone file loading, and announcement
resource providing
l Embedded signaling gateway (SG) function, adapting and forwarding signaling from the
time division multiplexing (TDM) bearer to the Internet Protocol (IP) bearer

2.1 Series of Hardware Platforms

This section describes the service switching module (SSM) and user access module (UAM).
2.1.1 SSM Series of Hardware Platforms

This section describes the SSM-256, SSM-160, and SSM-32 hardware platforms.
The SSM, core unit of the UMG8900, implements convergence, switching, processing, and
forwarding of service streams, provides interfaces with the softswitch, and exchanges gateway
control messages.
The SSM is configured only when the UMG8900 acts as a trunk gateway (TG), a video
interworking gateway (VIG), or an NGN-enabled switch in the public switched telephone
network (PSTN).
The UMG8900 hardware platform is designed to support both time division multiplexing (TDM)
circuit switching services and IP packet switching services.
The integrated packet and TDM switching platform addresses the requirements for the TDM
network and the packet network as well. Therefore, the existing networks can evolve to all-IP
networks smoothly by software upgrade rather than hardware replacement to reduce investment.
The UMG8900 supports the following types of frames: SSM-256, SSM-160, and SSM-32.
SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames can self-cascade with frames of the same type or cascade with
frames of the other type. The SSM-160 frame supports only self-cascading. Different cascading
modes enable the optimum configuration of 32 to 7168 E1 channels in the synchronous digital
hierarchy (SDH)/synchronous optical network (SONET), E1/T1, and E3/T3 transmission modes
to protect investment effectively.

2.1.2 UAM Series of Hardware Platforms

This section describes the user access module (UAM) series of hardware platforms.
The UAM provides the user access function. Connected through time division multiplexing
(TDM), the SSM and the UAM communicate by internal protocols. The UAM is configured
only when the UMG8900 acts as an access gateway (AG).
The UMG8900 supports series of UAM frames to meet different networking requirements.

2.2 Powerful Service Functions

This section describes the powerful service functions of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 functions as a bearer device for voice and narrowband data services on the core
network. It transmits service streams and converts formats of service streams between mobile
networks and fixed networks and within fixed networks. For two networks that fully adopt the
Internet Protocol (IP) transmission technology, service interworking between the IP networks
can be implemented by means of domains.
The UMG8900 provides the service bearer processing function and the service stream format
conversion function. By networking with the media gateway controller (MGC), the
UMG8900 provides basic, supplementary, and intelligent network (IN) services.
Basic Services
l Announcement playing and digit collecting, and dynamic loading of files: After loading
the tone files that are adaptable towards syntax adaptation, the media gateway (MGW) can
play intelligent tones about integers, numbers, time, durations, dates, and sums of money
in different languages. The MGW can work with the network management system (NMS)
to manage the tone files in a centralized manner..

l Converting between codecs G.711A, G.711u, G.723.1, G.726, G.729, RFC 2833 voice
codecs.
l Detection and generation of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals, RFC2198
redundancy, and RFC2833 detection.
l Providing T.38 fax, fax over G.711, modem over G.711 (supporting V.152 voice band
data), and RTP redundancy.
l Providing plain old telephone service (POTS) interfaces, integrated services digital network
(ISDN) interfaces (2B+D), digital data network (DDN) interfaces, and 2-wire/4-wire audio
dedicated line interfaces in access gateway (AG) applications for narrowband user access.
l Providing direct inward dialing (DID) service and caller ID display (CID) service in the
DTMF and frequency shift keying (FSK) modes and the message waiting indication service
in the voltage ascending mode and the FSK mode.
l Providing traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) services such as advice
of charge at the end of conversation (AOCE) and the hotline service.
l Providing standAlone function in AG application. If the UMG8900 is disconnected from
the softswitch, subscribers under the AG can still make basic voice calls. The connected
calls last for the preset release interval (which is 30 minutes by default).
l Generating bills. When the StandAlone function in the AG application is enabled, the
UMG8900 can record and generate bills for basic voice service calls of connected
subscribers, and send the bills to the iGWB. After the UMG8900 recovers communication
with the softswitch, the StandAlone function is disabled, but the calls set up through the
StandAlone can continue.
l Supporting both hairpin and non-hairpin service connection modes. Using the hairpin
connection mode, the roundabout traffic is avoided and the QoS is improved.
l Accessing digital circuit multiplication equipment (DCME) based on ITU-T Q.50.
l Providing Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) client function.
l FE and GE interfaces supporting the Intermediate System-Intermediate System (ISIS)
function.
l Providing integrated video and voice services, flexible and expandable software and
hardware architectures, and expanded services through software upgrade.
l Providing open Mc interface for interconnecting with MGCs of other suppliers.
Supplementary Services
l Providing audio mixing and working with the MGC to support the multiparty service
(MPTY).
l Providing non-customized ringback tone function, that is, playing the ringback tone instead
of the common ringback tone to subscribers.
Voice Enhancement Functions

Voice quality assurance technologies such as acoustic and electric echo cancellation (EC), voice
activity detection (VAD), background noise suppression, comfort noise generation (CNG),
automatic gain control (AGC), and packet loss concealment (PLC).

Enhanced System Functions

l Various quality of service (QoS) assurance methods such as the setting of voice and data
service priorities, dynamic jitter buffer (JB), IP type of service (ToS), differentiated service
code point (DSCP), 802.1P/Q, and virtual local area network (VLAN) priority.
l IP over E1 function, adapting IP data packets into TDM packets and implementing
transparent transmission based on routes. Compressed Real-Time Protocol (CRTP)
function and IP voice compressor plus (IVCP) function when the type of the IP bearer
interface is Serial or VT: That is, the RTP packet is compressed, thus reducing the
bandwidth occupied by the RTP packet, and improving the transmission efficiency.
l Interworking between VMGWs of one MGW
The conversion of TC codecs is not required, and therefore substantial TC resources are
saved and the cost of network construction is reduced. The voice quality is also improved
because voice transcoding occurs less frequently.
l RTP multiplexing to reduce transmission bandwidth.
l Working with the MGC to support the H.248.11 overload control protocol and the H.248.10
congestion control protocol, supporting the self overload protection function, and
improving the completeness and stability of MGW protocols.
l IP interworking within the MGW, looping back IP interfaces of IP terminations within the
MGW without connecting routers or layer 3 switches but reducing the cost.
Embedded signaling gateway (SG) function

l Adapting and forwarding signaling from the TDM bearer to the IP bearer based on Message
Transfer Part layer 2 (MTP2) User Adaptation (M2UA)/Message Transfer Part layer 3
(MTP3) User Adaptation (M3UA)/Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-
User Adaptation layer (IUA)/V5 User Adaptation Layer (V5UA) to simplify the network
topology.
l Adaptation of signaling system number 7 (SS7) common channel signaling (CCS), and
adaptation and termination of channel associated signaling (CAS) such as R1, R2, R1.5,
and International No.5 (No.5)/No.1 (No.1).

2.4 Advanced Voice Quality Assurance Technology

This section describes the advanced voice quality assurance technologies of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 implements service stream bearer and transfer between the time division
multiplexing (TDM) network and the Internet Protocol (IP) packet network. The common
reasons that affect the voice quality in the IP packet network include: delay, jitter, and packet
loss.
l Decreases delay and jitter through the dynamic buffering technology.
l Reduces the effect of packet loss on the voice quality through the packet loss concealment
(PLC) technology.
l Clears echo through the echo cancellation (EC) technology.
l In addition, the voice activity detection (VAD) and comfort noise generation (CNG)
technologies increase the bandwidth usage of IP transmission and improve voice quality
as well.
In the packet service transmission, the system supports priority of the IP packet service stream.
It realizes hierarchical transmission of different service streams through the cooperation with
the bearer network and thus provides reliable protection.
The UMG8900 supports the IP quality of service (QoS) active test. Through the statistics of
Real-Time Protocol (RTP) packets, the UMG8900 checks the quality of the intra/inter-exchange
IP bearer network. Thus, the voice quality is guaranteed.
2.5 Carrier-Class Security and Reliability

This section describes the carrier-class security and reliability of the UMG8900.
Security
The security management of the UMG8900 focuses on two aspects: control data, and operation
and maintenance (OM).
l Data security
The UMG8900 supports backup of important data at the system level. For example, you
can back up configuration data, running data, statistic information, operation information,
management information, and running logs to the hard disk or the compact disk.
The UMG8900 interworks with the softswitch through H.248. The UMG8900 performs
the H.248 based authentication header (AH) authentication and the IP Security Protocol
(IPSec) based encryption on H.248 messages.

l OM security
The UMG8900 defines user groups and rights. Different user groups can customize
different command sets. Through the configuration of command groups and users, the
system can effectively implement hierarchical management of operators and operation
rights.
When the authorized users operate the UMG8900, the UMG8900 performs authentication
for the authorized users during the operation. This avoids possible damage due to improper
operations.
Network and device management can protect your password and prevent unauthorized
access. Service data can be accessed only in certain condition. The UMG8900 ensures that
only authorized users can obtain correct data.
The access control list (ACL) helps to configure the firewall to filter messages of ports that
do not provide services. Thus, the UMG8900 can prevent attackers from finding system
defects through the port scanning technique.
The OM interface adopts the maintenance dual plane to connect to the local maintenance
terminal (LMT) or the integrated network management system (NMS) to avoid single point
failure on the UMG8900 side. In addition, the UMG8900 supports IPSec based encryption
on OM messages to improve the management security.
Reliability
The UMG8900 ensures the system reliability through the following:
l All the main control boards support the 1+1 backup function.
l The interface boards support the functions such as 1+1 and N:1 backup, automatic
protection switch (APS) interface protection, and optical signal through and off protection.
l The service resource boards work in resource pool mode to share all the resources.
l The UMG8900 supports resource check. It verifies the validity of bearer and service
resources through resource check and reclaims the resources occupied by junk sessions in
time.
l The inter-frame cascading supports master and slave cascading channels to avoid single
point failure.
l The UMG8900 supports the dual-homing function. If the master media gateway controller
(MGC) fails, the UMG8900 switches to the slave MGC to ensure the normal running of
services.
l One base station controller (BSC) can connect to multiple UMG8900s of the same mobile
switching center (MSC) server, thus implementing disaster tolerance of the UMG8900s.
2.6 Easy Installation and Maintenance

This section describes the easy installation and maintenance of the UMG8900.
Installation
l The UMG8900 adopts standard 19-inch cabinets for the convenience of deployment and
expansion.
l Boards are inserted in front and back slots on the backplane of a frame. All cables lead out
from the rear of a cabinet for the convenience of equipment installation and cable
connection.

l All boards support hot plugging. The indicators on the front panels of the boards can show
the working status of the boards and the interfaces.
l A clear identifier is labeled on each functional module. As each functional module provides
standardized joints and external subscriber interfaces, no special tools are required in
installation.
Maintenance
l The UMG8900 supports local maintenance, remote maintenance, and various management
methods such as the man-machine language (MML) and graphic user interface (GUI)
combined interface, iManager network management system (NMS), and secure shell
(SSH).
l The graphic interface provides powerful online help and easy operation.
l The UMG8900 supports online report of hardware and software versions, online software
loading, and online patch installation. These functions achieve software upgrade and
maintenance without affecting the system running.
l The UMG8900 supports version consistency check, version authentication of front
administration module (FAM) and back administration module (BAM), and version
rollback.
l The UMG8900 provides logs, alarms, performance measurement, and fault diagnosis
functions, facilitating fault prevention, location, and troubleshooting.
l The UMG8900 provides tools for information collection, integrity check, and log analysis.
These tools support online and offline analysis and maintenance on the running information.
l The alarm box of the UMG8900 can display visual alarm information and notify the
maintenance personnel of alarms by phone.
l The LMT can run on EMS clients to provide remote operation and maintenance.

An SSM-32 frame has 28 front and back slots in total. In the main control frame, the OMB
and TNC are configured by default. In a service frame, the MPB and TNC is installed by
default.
3.2 Hardware Architecture

This section describes the hardware architecture of the UMG8900, including architectures and
configurations of cabinets and frames.

3.2.1 Hardware Fundamentals

This section describes the hardware fundamentals of the UMG8900, including mapping between
UMG8900 applications and service modules and mapping between service modules and frame
types.
The UMG8900, a universal media gateway, can act as an access gateway (AG), a trunk gateway
(TG), and a video interworking gateway (VIG) for networking. The UMG8900 supports the
embedded signaling gateway (SG) function for signaling adaptation and transfer.
By working with the softswitch, the UMG8900 can act as the traditional switch in the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) to serve smooth evolution from the PSTN to the next
generation network (NGN).
Figure 3-6 shows the logical hardware architecture, that is, logical relation between the SSM
and the UAM, of the UMG8900.
Figure 3-6 Logical relation between the SSM and the UAM
SSM: service switching module UAM: user access module
The hardware of the UMG8900 is classified into the service switching module (SSM) and the
user access module (UAM). The SSM and the UAM are connected over time division
multiplexing (TDM), physically, E1 cables or synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) optical
fibers. The SSM and the UAM communicate with each other based on internal private protocols.
The SSM maintains and manages the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 supports multiple applications. Different modules are configured in different
applications. Table 3-1 shows the mapping between UMG8900 applications and service
modules.

as an NGN-enabled switch, it
must work with the
softswitch. Both the SSM and
the UAM are configured in
local exchanges. The SSM is
configured in tandem/toll
exchanges.
The UMG8900 supports series of hardware platforms for networking applications from small
capacity to large capacity.
The UMG8900 supports multiple types of frames for different service modules. Table 3-2 shows
the mapping between service modules and frame types.

cascaded sub frames of the RSA.
The UAM is usually placed in an independent cabinet. Multiple configuration modes are
available based on actual networking requirements. The UAM can be placed in the same
equipment room as the SSM or be placed near users.
The SSM-4 frame provides 4 K TDM switching capability. It is mainly used for small capacity
networking applications. In actual networking applications, the SSM-4 frame is placed in the
same cabinet with the UAM, if configured. The SSM-4 frame that acts as an AG or a TG is
delivered together with the specific UAM. For details, see the associated delivery attached
documents.
NOTE
The hardware associated description in this document is about SSM-256, SSM-160, and SSM-32 frames.
For hardware installation and configuration of SSM-4 frames and UAMs, see the associated delivery
attached documents.
3.2.2 Cabinet Architecture

This section describes the architectures and configurations of cabinets supported by the
UMG8900.
The dimension (height x width x depth) of an N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet is 2200 mm x 600 mm

x 800 mm (86.61 in. x 23.62 in. x 31.50 in.). The available space inside the cabinet is 46 U (1
U = 44.45 mm = 1.75 in.).
A single cabinet is composed of the power distribution frame, service frame, cable trough, filler
panel, rack, guide rail, and back hang fiber coiler. The cabinet adopts -48 V/-60 V DC power
supply, conforms to IEC297 standards, and meets the requirement for flexible module
configuration.
The cabinet is equipped with a front door and a rear door, to enable device maintenance from
both front and back of the cabinet.
The UMG8900 supports multi-frame cascading networking. Multiple cabinets are required in
large-capacity networking applications.
NOTE
In the following part, unless otherwise stated, the SSM frames refer to the SSM-256 frame, the SSM-160
frame, and the SSM-32 frame, rather than the SSM-4 frame.
UMG8900 Assembly Cabinet

The UMG8900 assembly cabinet adopts standard 19-inch frames. The internal components
include power distribution frame (PDF), SSM frame, back fiber management tray (FMT),
horizontal wiring trough, and cable trough.
The SSM frame in the UMG8900 assembly cabinet is the SSM-256 or SSM-32 frame.

Figure 3-7 shows the full configuration of internal components of the assembly cabinet.

3.2.3 Frame Architecture

This section describes the frame architectures of the UMG8900, including slot settings of the
frames.
The SSM-256 frame, the SSM-160 frame, and the SSM-32 frame are the same in architecture
but differ in the backplane and the configured boards. The SSM-256 frame supports 256 K time
division multiplexing (TDM) switching; the SSM-160 frame supports 160 K TDM switching;
the SSM-32 frame supports 32 K or 96 K TDM switching.
The SSM-256 frame, SSM-160 frame, and the SSM-32 frame adopt the semi-integrated
structure. The frame is integrated with a fan box and provides front and back slots in pairs to
hold boards.
Frame Architecture of SSM-256

Figure 3-8 shows the board deployment in an SSM-256 frame.
Figure 3-8 Board deployment in an SSM-256 frame
A front slot is 9 U in height, and a back slot is 8 U in height.
l Only the NET can be inserted in back slots 7 and 8.

l Only the OMU/MPU can be inserted in front slots 7 and 8 for the MOMU in the main
control frame and the MMPU in other frames.
l Only the TNU can be inserted in back slots 6 and 9. The physical board of the TNU is the
MTNB.
l Service resource boards, such as the MVPD, can be inserted in front slots 6 and 9. Service
boards in front-to-back pair mode cannot be inserted in these two slots.
l Service processing boards can be inserted in common slots. The CLK must be inserted in
back slots 0 and 1 in the main control frame.

CAUTION
Some boards must be inserted in front and back slots opposite to each other. For example, if a
service board such as the HRB is inserted in a front slot, the corresponding interface board such
as the E8T or E1G must be inserted in the back slot.

The SSM-32 frame is the same as the SSM-256 frame in exterior and architecture but differ in
the backplane. The main control board MPB and the opposite board TNC in the SSM-32 frame
respectively occupy two slots.
In the SSM-32 frame:
l The configurations of the physical slots of the TNC/OMB/MPB are different from the
configurations of the logical slots. Only the TNC can be inserted in back physical slots 7
and 9. Only the main control board OMB/MPB can be inserted in front physical slots 7 and
9. The OMB is configured only in the main control frame, and the MPB is configured only
in other SSM-32 frames. No board can be inserted in physical slots 6 and 8 because the
TNC and the OMB/MPB respectively occupy two slots. Logically, the TNC/OMB/MPB
needs to be configured in slots 7 and 8.
l If the SSM-32 frame requires only stratum-3 clock signals, no independent CLK is
configured. If the SSM-32 frame requires stratum-2 clock signals, the independent CLK
must be configured. The CLK can be inserted only in back slots 0 and 1 of frames 0 and 1.
l Service processing boards can be inserted in common slots. For boards that require
corresponding back boards, the slot positions follow the same rule as that in an SSM-256
frame.

l The NLU can be inserted in back slots 4, 5, 10, and 11 to implement GE cascading between
frames, however, boards providing internal GE interfaces, such as the VPU, cannot be
inserted in the corresponding front slots.

The SSM-160 frame is the same as the SSM-256 frame in exterior and architecture but differ in
the backplane.
In the SSM-160 frame:
l Only the TND can be inserted in back slots 7 and 9. No board can be inserted in physical
slots 6 and 8 because the TND occupies two slots.
l Only the main control board OME/MPE can be inserted in front slots 7 and 8. Each OME/
MPE occupies one slot. The OMEs are always installed in the main control frame, and the
MPEs are always installed in other SSM-160 frames.
l Only The CME can be inserted in front slots 6 and 9. The corresponding physical board is
the MCME.
l Service processing boards can be inserted in common slots. The CLK must be inserted in
back slots 0 and 1 in the main control frame. For boards that require corresponding back
boards, the slot positions follow the same rule as that in an SSM-256 frame.
3.2.4 Numbering Cabinets and Frames

This section describes the numbering and configuration principles of the SSM-256, SSM-160,
and SSM-32 frames.

Numbering Principles of Cabinets and Frames

The SSM-256 frame supports the cascading of up to nine frames. The SSM-32 frame supports
the cascading of up to three frames. The SSM-160 frame supports the cascading of up to three
frames.The frame numbering order varies with different frames or different cascading modes.
The numbering principles of cabinets and frames are as follows:
l Cabinets are numbered from 0. Frames are numbered from bottom to top.
l In SSM-256 self-cascading mode: The number of the main control frame is 1, the numbers
of service frames are 2 to 7, and the number of the control frame is 8. To meet the networking
requirements, you can configure an independent central switching frame with number 0.
You can also directly insert the BLU/FLU to the main control frame, so that the main control
frame can also serve as the central switching frame.
l In SSM-32 self-cascading mode: The number of the main control frame is 1. The numbers
of service frames are 2 and 3.
l In SSM-160 self-cascading mode: The number of the main control frame is 1. The numbers
of service frames are 2 and 3.
l In SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode: The number of the main control frame
is 1. The numbers of service frames are 2 to 7 and 9 to 29. The frame number 8 is reserved
for the control frame. Though no control frame is configured, the frame number is reserved.
If required, you can configure an independent central switching frame with number 0. You
can also directly insert the BLU/FLU to the main control frame, so that the main control
frame can also serve as the central switching frame.
l If the cabinet can hold only two frames due to dense E1 cables led out from the frames, it
is recommended that the unused frame number be reserved for later expansion.
Numbering Frames in SSM-256 Self-Cascading Mode

Figure 3-11 shows the numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-256 self-cascading
mode.
Figure 3-11 Numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-256 self-cascading mode


Figure 3-12 shows the numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-32 self-cascading mode.

Figure 3-13 shows the numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-160 self-cascading
mode.

Figure 3-14 Numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-160 self-cascading mode with the
IWF frame of 2 U height configured
Numbering Frames in Mixed Cascading Mode

Figure 3-15 shows the numbering order of frames after the configuration expansion from the
SSM-32 self-cascading mode to the mixed cascading mode.
Figure 3-15 Numbering order of frames after the configuration expansion from the SSM-32
self-cascading mode to the mixed cascading mode
The central switching frame must be an SSM-256 frame.
Figure 3-16 shows the numbering order of cabinets and frames in SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed
cascading mode.

Figure 3-16 Numbering order of cabinets and frame in the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed
cascading mode
The central switching frame must be an SSM-256 frame, and other frames are SSM-32 frames.
In Figure 3-16, it is supposed that cabinet 1 holds only frames 3 and 4 because the frames lead
out dense E1 cables. The space for service frame 5 is empty. You are advised to reserve frame
number 5 and number frames in cabinet 2 from 6.
Numbering of Two Frames in One Cabinet

Assume only E1/T1 interfaces are used and each cabinet can hold up to two service frames, as
shown in Figure 3-17.
Figure 3-17 Numbering of two frames in one cabinet mode

Configuration Principles of Cabinets and Frames

In the actual UMG8900 networking, some factors must be considered, such as dense E1 cables
led out from frames, SSM-256 self-cascading, SSM-32 self-cascading, SSM-160 self-cascading,
and SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading. The configuration principles of cabinets and frames
are as follows:
l Each cabinet can hold up to three frames. If all the time division multiplexing (TDM)
interface boards in the frames use E1/T1 interfaces, each cabinet is suggested to hold up to
two service frames for convenient installation and cabling.
l The central switching frame and control frame have no TDM interface. Thus, the cabinet
where the central switching frame or control frame is located can hold up to three frames,
without affecting installation and cabling.
l The frames in the cabinet are placed from bottom to top.
l The main control frame is configured by default. It provides services and manages and
maintains the entire UMG8900. The main control frame is always numbered 1.
3.3 Logical Architecture

Based on the functions and the distributed modular architecture, the hardware system of the
module. This section describes the logical architecture and the functional modules of the
UMG8900.
3.3.1 Logical Fundamentals

This section describes the logical fundamentals of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 accesses and processes IP/time division multiplexing (TDM) bearer services,
interacts with the media gateway controller (MGC), processes media resources, adapts signaling,
and transparently transmits signaling. The UMG8900 also provides auxiliary functions such as
device management and maintenance, clock, and cascading.
Based on the functions and distributed modular architecture, the hardware system of the
module.
The logical architectures of different frames of the UMG8900 are different.
Figure 3-18 shows the logical components of the SSM-256 frame.

Figure 3-18 Logical components of the SSM-256 frame

3.3.2 Gateway Control and Management Module

This section describes the functions and components of the gateway control and management
module.
The gateway control and management module mainly performs two functions.
l This module is responsible for management and maintenance of the UMG8900. The
UMG8900 adopts the client/server mode. This module is connected to the back
administration module (BAM) of the UMG8900 through the local maintenance terminal
(LMT) client to maintain and manage the UMG8900.
l Under the control of the gateway controller, this module invokes various bearer and service
resources within the UMG8900, sets up service bearers, and processes service stream
formats.
The maintenance and management center of the UMG8900 can perform centralized management
on the UMG8900 through the BAM embedded in the OMU, the OME, or the OMB. Operation
and maintenance messages are exchanged between frames through cascaded FE channels.
The gateway control function is supported by the PPU and CMU, or by the CMU. The OMU,
MPU, and TNU (MTNC/MTND) provide the management and maintenance function.

NOTE
The gateway control function is also provided by the MPB. So in small-capacity networking, the PPU/CMU is
optional.
When the PPU and the CMU work jointly to provide the gateway control function, the physical
boards corresponding to the PPU are the MPPB, MCMB, and MCMF; the physical boards
corresponding to the CMU are the MCMB, MCMF, and MCME. When the CMU provides the
gateway control function alone, the physical board corresponding to the CMU is the MCME.
The physical boards corresponding to the OMU are the MOMU, MOME, and MOMB; the
physical boards corresponding to the MPU are the MMPU, MMPE, and MMPB. The MOMU
and MMPU can be configured in only the SSM-256 frame; the MOMB and MMPB can be
configured in only the SSM-32 frame; the MOME and MMPE can be configured in only the
SSM-160 frame.
NOTE
For the SSM-32 frame, the MMPB provides the packet switching function; the MOMB and MTNC provide
the management and maintenance function.
For the SSM-160 frame, the MMPE provides packet switching; the MOME and MTND provide the
management and maintenance function.
The MOMB and MMPB can be configured with the SCMU subboards to improve the processing
capability of the boards and implement the functions of the CMU and PPU.The MCME is
inserted into slot 6 and slot 9 and can be configured with the SCMU virtual subboards.
3.3.3 Packet Processing Module

This section describes the functions and components of the packet processing module.
The packet processing and interface module processes packet service bearers of the
UMG8900 and provides hardware interfaces for packet services. The packet processing module
consists of two parts. One is packet switching, and the other is packet processing and interface.
The packet switching module switches packet services of the UMG8900.
l In the SSM-256 frame:

– The NET provides this function and the physical board of the NET is the MNET.
– The UG01MNET provides the 16 GE packet switching capability and the UG02MNET
provides the 24 GE packet switching capability.
– This function is embedded in the OME/MPE in the gateway control and management
module and the physical board of the OME/MPE is the MOME/MMPE.
– The packet switching module provides the 48 GE packet switching capability.
– This function is embedded in the OMU/MPU in the gateway control and management
module and the physical board of the OMU/MPU is the MOMB/MMPB.
– The packet switching module provides the 12 GE packet switching capability.
The packet processing and interface module processes packet service bearers of the
UMG8900 and provides hardware interfaces for packet services.
Packet service bearers provided by the UMG8900 are Internet Protocol (IP)/IP over ATM
(IPoA)/IP over E1 (IPoE), corresponding to different hardware types of boards.

The hardware of the IP packet processing and interface module mainly includes the HRB, E8T,
E1G, A4L, P1H, and P4L. The corresponding physical boards are the MHRU, MIOE, ME8T,
MG1O, MP1H, MP4L, MA4L, MHRD with the interface subboards, and MNET. The MIOE
and the ME32 work jointly to provide the IP over E1 function.
The HRB accesses packet services through the back interface board and then resolves IP/IPoE1
packets. The jitter buffer caches voice packets. Then, under the control of the gateway control
module, the jitter buffer forwards the packets to a specified board for processing.
The packet processing module can forward H.248, Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN), and
operation and maintenance center (OMC) packets at the same time. You can configure this
function through software. The HRB provides external interfaces to send and receive these three
types of packets.
3.3.4 TDM Processing Module

This section describes the functions and components of the time division multiplexing (TDM)
processing module.
The TDM processing module contains three modules, namely, the TDM interface module, clock
processing module, and TDM switching module.
The TDM interface module provides TDM interfaces for the UMG8900 and supports the line
clock extracting function as a clock reference source. The TDM interface module is the E32/
T32/E63/T63/PIE/S4L/S2L/S1L. The corresponding physical board is the ME32/MESU/
MT32/MTSU/ME63/MT63/MPIE/MS8L/MS4L/MS2L/MS1L/MS2E/MS1E.
The UG01S2L can be configured only in the SSM-256 frame and the UG02S2L can be
configured in the SSM-256 frame. To interwork with the UG02TNC, the UG02S2L can also be
configured in the SSM-32 frame.. The S1L can be configured only in the SSM-32 frame.
The UG01S4L can be configured only in the SSM-160 frame.
The clock processing module provides required clock signals and supports access of various
clock reference sources.
The UMG8900 supports two clock modes. One is to provide the clock through the CLK. The
CLK can provide stratum-2A/stratum-3 clock signals. The other is to provide the clock through
the TNU (MTNC). The TNU can provide only stratum-3 clock signals and can be configured
only in the SSM-32 frame.
The independent CLK can provide 2 M/1.5 M clock reference sources for the next level network
devices.
The TDM switching module is the TNU. In the SSM-256 frame, the corresponding physical
board is the MTNU/TCLU/MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the corresponding physical board is
the MTNC. In the SSM-160 frame, the corresponding physical board is the MTND.
Table 3-3 lists the TDM switching cascading boards.

Table 3-3 TDM switching cascading boards
Board Frame Specification
MTNB SSM-256 The MTNB provides 256 k TDM switching capability and
offers 4 x 8 k TDM cascading channels between frames.
If only the MTNB is used in multi-frame cascading, there is
no restriction on frame configuration.
MTNU SSM-256 The MTNU provides 256 k TDM switching capability and
In multi-frame cascading, the MTNU works with the TCLU.
The MTNU is configured in the central switching frame, and
the TCLU is configured in other frames.
TCLU SSM-256 The TCLU provides 256 k TDM switching capability and
In multi-frame cascading, the MTNU works with the TCLU.
The MTNU is configured in the central switching frame, and
the TCLU is configured in other frames.
MTNC SSM-32 The UG01TNC provides 32 k TDM switching capability and

offers 1 x 8 k or 2 x 8 k TDM cascading channels between
frames. The UG02TNC provides 96 k TDM switching
capability and offers 1 x 8 k, 2 x 8 k, or 4 x 8 k TDM cascading
channels between frames. In addition, the MTNC provides
interfaces for FE cascading between frames.
MTND SSM-160 The MTND provides 160 k TDM switching capability and
offers 4 x 16 k TDM cascading channels between frames. In
addition, the MTND provides interfaces for FE and GE
cascading between frames.
3.3.5 Service Resource Module

This section describes the functions and components of the service resource module.
The service resource module processes media stream formats and provides resources for service
connection. It supports G.711A/G.711u/G.723.1/G.726/G.729/RFC 2833 voice codecs,
announcement playing, digit collecting, echo cancellation (EC), and audio mixing.It also
supports detection and generation of modem and fax signal tones. In addition, the service source
module supports H.263/MPEG-4 video codecs and H.223/H.225 video and audio multiplexing.
The hardware of the service resource module mainly includes the VPU and the ECU. The ECU
provides the EC function. The ECU provides the voice quality enhancement (VQE) function if
the ECN subboard is configured on the ECU. The VPU provides the announcement playing,
digit collecting, codec conversion, and audio mixing functions. In addition, the VPU can provide
the EC function of the ECU. The corresponding physical boards are the MVPB, MVPD,
FVGU, UG02MVQE and MECU.
The service resource board works in load-sharing mode and is composed of the mother board
and the subboard. Based on different subboards configured, the number of subboards, and

software loaded, the board can provide functions such as announcement playing, digit collecting,
EC, audio mixing, and voice codec conversion.
The MVPB can be configured only in the SSM-256 frame. The UG01MVPD can be in the
SSM-256 frame and SSM-32 frame.The UG02MVPD can be in the SSM-32 frame, SSM-160
frame, and SSM-256 frame. . UG02MVQE can be used in the SSM-256 frame, SSM-32 frame
and SSM-160 frame.
The MVPD is compatible with the subboard of the MVPB. The new subboards such as the VDD
and VDF can be configured.
3.3.6 Signaling Adaptation Module

This section describes the functions and components of the signaling adaptation module.
The signaling adaptation module adapts the signaling of the access network and the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) to the signaling of the IP packet network.
This module works with the time division multiplexing (TDM) processing module, packet
processing module, and gateway control and management module to adapt and transfer
signaling.
The SPF implements the functions of the signaling adaptation module. The corresponding
physical board is the MSPF. The TDM interface board receives signaling on the TDM side and
then transfers the signaling to the SPF through internal TDM switching.
The application of the signaling transport (SIGTRAN) interface, that is, the interface between
the signaling adaptation module and the media gateway controller (MGC), is as follows:
l In the application of a single SSM-256 frame, the MIR interface on the back NET is used.
l In the application of a single SSM-32 frame, the Mc interface in the main control frame is
used. If the packet processing module is configured, the HRB provides the interface.
l In the application of SSM-256 multi-frame cascading or mixed cascading, the OMC
interface on the NET in the central switching frame is used.
NOTE
If the central switching frame is configured with the packet service processing subsystem, the OMC
interface on the HRB can also be used.
l In the application of SSM-32 multi-frame cascading, the OMC interface on the TNC in the
first service frame is used.
l In the networking of a single SSM-160 frame, the Mc interface on the TND is used. In the
networking of SSM-160 self-cascading, the Mc interface on the TND in frame 1 is used by
preference, and the Mc interfaces on the TNDs in the other frames can also be used.
3.3.7 Cascading Module

This section describes the functions and components of the cascading module.
The UMG8900 supports applications of different capacities through single-frame cascading and
multi-frame cascading. The cascading module provides the cascading of packet, time division
multiplexing (TDM), and control service streams in multi-frame cascading.
The BLU, NLU and the FLU work with the packet processing module and the TDM processing
module to perform the functions of the cascading module.
The physical board of the BLU is the MBLU. The physical board of the FLU is the MFLU. The
physical board of the NLU is the MNLU

The MFLUs are the front cascading board in multi-frame cascading application. The MFLU can
be inserted only in SSM-256 frames.
The MBLUs are the back cascading board in the multi-frame cascading application, The
MBLU can be inserted only in SSM-256 frames.
The MNLUs are the back cascading board in the multi-frame cascading networking, They work
in load-sharing mode. The MNLU can be used in the SSM-32 frame rather than the SSM-256
frame and SSM-160 frame.
3.4 Software Fundamentals

The software of the UMG8900 consists of the host software and the LMT software. The host
software achieves bearer related service processing, underlying support, and hardware
management. The LMT software and the back administration module (BAM) of the host
software are in client/server mode. The LMT software completes routine maintenance and
management on the host of the UMG8900. Figure 3-21 shows the software architecture of the

About This Chapter
This chapter describes certain designs and applications of the UMG8900 in reliability, based on
the basic requirements of reliability design.
4.1 System Reliability

This section describes the measures to ensure system reliability, including system protection
measures and error tolerance consideration.
4.2 Hardware Reliability
This section describes the hardware reliability design of the UMG8900.
4.3 Software Reliability
This section describes the software reliability design of the UMG8900.

4.1 System Reliability

This section describes the measures to ensure system reliability, including system protection
measures and error tolerance consideration.
4.1.1 System Protection Measures

This section describes the system protection measures of the UMG8900.
The system reliability design is based on an overall analysis on system reliability. To ensure the
system reliability, the UMG8900 adopts methods such as backup, load sharing, and redundancy
configuration and optimizes fault detection and isolation techniques for boards and the system.
The following measures are adopted:
Redundancy Design
The UMG8900 supports master/slave switchover, load sharing, and resource pool.
l Power modules: work in master/slave mode and ensure the normal running of the
UMG8900 if one module is faulty.
l CLK, NET, OMU, and MPU: work in master/slave (1+1 backup) mode. If the master board
is faulty, services are automatically switched to the slave board to ensure the normal running
of the UMG8900.
l Service boards: work in 1+1 backup, load-sharing, or resource pool mode. Two or more
boards jointly implement functions. If one of them is faulty, the other boards take over its
tasks if a certain performance indicator such as call loss is satisfied. The normal running
of the UMG8900 is not affected.
Derating Design
The derating design is to reduce the stress on electronic components to be lower than the rated
values. The purpose is to slow down parameter degrading, extend working life, and improve
system reliability. The derating design is usually applied to reducing rated values of electric
stress and heat stress.
Component Choosing, Controlling, and Normalizing Design

The key factors to component reliability lie in how to choose and use them. Component types,
specifications, and suppliers are selected for the UMG8900 according to their replaceable and
normalized degrees. By component normalization and reliability analysis, the number of
components in use decreases to implement high availability.
Heat Design
As product performance may be affected by temperature, component selection, circuit design
(such as tolerance design, drift design, and rated value derating design), structure design, and
dissipation design are applied to the UMG8900 to make it work reliably in a wide temperature
range. The UMG8900 provides special structures and dissipation measures to lower temperature.

Maintainability Design
The purpose of maintainability design is to implement certain maintenance goals in terms of
quality and quantity, especially to reduce time cost in maintenance. It is measured by the
simplification degree of product design and maintenance, reachability, standardization,
replaceability, modularization, error-free design, identification, testability, diagnosis
technology, and human and environment factors. To achieve certain maintenance goals, the
UMG8900 adopts the following measures:
l All the boards support the hot-swappable function. Before powering on a board, you must
press the OFFLINE button. You can pull out the board based on the indicator status. Service
provisioning is guaranteed, and the time for replacing boards is reduced.
l No cable is led out from front panels. The UMG8900 adopts backward cabling for the
convenience of maintenance. That is, all the service interfaces are provided by back boards.
l High-capacity service processing boards are in mother board plus subboard mode.
Subboards are of various types. Different combination of mother boards and subboards can
implement different services.
l The complete detection and alarm report functions enable the back administration module
(BAM) to detect and report faults of system modules.
l The convenient and friendly man-machine language (MML) operation terminal helps to
quickly locate and clear faults.
Power Reliability Design

The power reliability is ensured by designs such as overcurrent and overvoltage protection,
internal temperature adjustment and protection, redundancy design, and independent protection
facility.
Software Reliability Design

Software engineering methods such as modularized design, object-oriented design, integrated
circuit (IC) design, error tolerance, error correction, and auto-recovery are adopted to ensure
software reliability.
4.1.2 Error Tolerance Consideration and Alarm funtions

This section describes the error tolerance consideration of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 has the following considerations on error tolerance:
l Modularized design to achieve distributed processing and independence between modules.
l Master/slave, load-sharing, and resource pool working modes to ensure normal running of
the UMG8900 in the case of partial fault.
l Redundant fan configuration, intelligent control, and alarm report functions.
l Multiple alarm handling mechanisms. One mechanism is to use embedded panel indicators
and beepers to generate alarms in time. The other mechanism is to send alarms to subscribers
in a centralized way through the local operation and maintenance center.
4.2 Hardware Reliability

This section describes the hardware reliability design of the UMG8900.

4.2.1 Hardware Design

This section describes the hardware design requirements of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 fully meets general requirements for hardware design as follows:
l The UMG8900 adopts the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode.
Multiple CPUs comprise a cluster processing system, and each module provides distinct
functions.
l The redundancy design is adopted for hot backup of important functional modules so that
service processing board, NET, and CLK are capable of powerful error tolerance capability.
l Non-volatile memory is used to store important data. The foreground/background data
backup mode is adopted to ensure data security and consistency.
l Advanced integrated circuits such as application specific integrated circuit (ASIC),
programmable logic device (PLD), and field programmable gate array (FPGA) are used to
achieve high integration, technique level, and reliability.
l High-quality components pass the aging test and strict filtering. The hardware assembling
process is also under strict quality control. Thus, the UMG8900 can ensure high stability
and reliability in the long term.
l All board hardware supports version report and online software loading.
l The redundancy and error tolerance designs are adopted. The core switching network is
based on the dual-plane architecture. In addition, the UMG8900 enables global sharing of
resources and distributed control of services.
l The UMG8900 adopts the distributed dual power supply. In the unit of one frame, high
frequency DC/DC secondary power modules are used to ensure high efficiency and
stability.
l The overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism is adopted for +5 V/-48 V/-60 V
power input and external interfaces (such as E1 interface) of each board. This mechanism
accords with International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) G.703 Recommendations, Appendix B and the related
requirements.
4.2.2 Backup Reliability Design

This section describes the backup reliability design of the UMG8900.
Hot backup at the board level is the most often used mode for a telecommunication device to
improve the system reliability. Its actual effect can be measured through the rate of successful
switchover, which depends on the detection rate of board faults, the switchover mechanism and
the dual-channel backup. The UMG8900 considers all the factors in design.
l Board fault detection: During board power-on, the UMG8900 makes self-test on memory
and key external chips such as the network chip. In addition, the UMG8900 online monitors
key signals (such as clock signals, 8-kHz signals for example) used by the boards and makes
loopback tests on service code streams when idle.
l Switchover mechanism: The switchover between master and slave boards is accomplished
through two cross-connected signals. The two signals are the output signal indicating that
the local board is valid and the input signal indicating that the peer board is valid. The
former signal is generated by heartbeat detection circuits.
l Dual-channel backup: The UMG8900 supports the cascading mode. Cascading boards are
used to implement the master/slave dual-channel connections between cascaded frames.

Cascading modules can check the status of the channels through hardware to increase the
reliability and speed of cascading switchover effectively.
4.2.3 Hardware Maintainability Design

This section describes the hardware maintainability design of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 adopts advanced maintenance bus (MBus) modules. Each board provides an
MBus subboard to form an independent MBus system within each frame.
The MBus system is independent of higher-layer software. It can implement the power-on/off
management and environmental monitoring, offset the influence of surge current, and increase
the speed of responding to fault detection.
4.3 Software Reliability

This section describes the software reliability design of the UMG8900.
4.3.1 Seamless Upgrade

This section describes the seamless upgrade feature of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 supports the seamless upgrade feature, which ensures that the online services
are not affected during the upgrade. The period during which new users cannot access services
is not more than 10 seconds.
The UMG8900 supports the seamless upgrade feature when the UMG8900 acts as a fixed AG
and fixed TG.
The seamless upgrade is implemented through the seamless upgrade tool. The UMG8900 is
partitioned into plane A and plane B. Upgrade the software in plane B. Then, the service
migration and plane switchover take place. The UMG8900 processes services in plane B.
Upgrade software in plane A. Then, the plane combination is performed to implement the
seamless upgrade of the entire UMG8900.
During the seamless upgrade, you can obtain the information about the progress and operation
of the current step. You can obtain the information such as the number of lost calls and call loss
rate.
4.3.2 Error Tolerance Design

This section describes the error tolerance design of the UMG8900.
With the error tolerance capability, a software system can be recovered automatically when a
slight software fault occurs. Such capability is described as follows:
Periodic Detection on Key Resources

A verification mechanism is applied when deadlock occurs on certain software resources.
Through this mechanism, the deadlock resources are released, and logs and alarms are exported.
Task Monitoring
Output channels exist for internal software errors and some hardware faults during the software
running. This monitoring process is to oversee task running and report anomaly.

Storage Protection
The paragraph and page protection mechanism of the CPU memory management unit (MMU)
is enabled to save codes and important data. This mechanism also provides functions such as
online query, variable and data modification, and memory area monitoring.
Data Check
Data consistency checks are implemented on a periodic or event-driven basis. If inconsistency
is detected, data consistency can be recovered in a priority order or other orders and then logs
and alarms can be exported.
Operation Log Storage

The UMG8900 records operation information in a certain period and saves the records into
system operation logs. Operation logs can be used to track operation status and thus help to
locate faults, or recover normal operation status.
4.3.3 Fault Monitoring and Handling

This section describes the fault monitoring and handling mechanism of the UMG8900.
Reliability and robustness of a software system are guaranteed by a powerful fault monitoring
and handling system, especially after the software is launched. The UMG8900 supports the
following mechanisms for fault monitoring and handling.
Backup and Switchover Mechanism

When a crucial fault occurs, the related components or boards reset and start switchover. After
restart, the UMG8900 exports the record of the reset reason and prints the related information.
System downtime during lower-level reloading is no longer than 30 seconds, and that during
highest-level reloading is no longer than 3 minutes.
Isolation Mechanism
With this mechanism, when an entity is unable to implement a certain function, the function is
fulfilled by other entities.
Restart of Auto-Recovery Mechanism

If a board with a single function cannot implement its primary function, it will probably fail and
then restart and the function is restored.
Overload Control Mechanism

The UMG8900 provides dynamic traffic and signaling overload control functions. With the
functions, the UMG8900 can classify load control into several levels automatically or through
input commands. Thus, the UMG8900 can ensure the maximum call processing capability in
the case of overload. When software failure occurs, the software is capable of certain automatic
error correction and auto-recovery capabilities, including restart and reload. The UMG8900 can
be self diagnosed automatically at certain intervals and notify customers of upcoming faults so
that they can contact technical support engineers in time.

If the key resource utilization exceeds the specified limit, the UMG8900 can take measures such
as denying some less important services to release service load.

5 Cascading System
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the cascading system of the UMG8900.

Cascading means that one frame connects to one or more frames through signal cables by using
functional modules or boards that provide specific functions. Thus, multiple frames take the
form of one network element (NE).
The UMG8900 supports the cascading function. The UMG8900 can support 32 to 7168 E1
channels by cascading the frames to meet networking requirements.
In cascading mode, the UMG8900 takes the form of one NE. On one hand, the cascading function
can helps smooth expansion of user capacity. On the other hand, it helps you to maintain and
manage the UMG8900 and effectively reduce the maintenance cost.
The UMG8900 supports the SSM-256 self-cascading, SSM-160 self-cascading, SSM-32 self-
cascading, and mixed cascading of the SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames. See Table 5-1.
Table 5-1 Cascading classification and application

Classification Application
SSM-256 self- The UMG8900 adopts only SSM-256 frames and supports 256 K
cascading time division multiplexing (TDM) switching. The UMG8900
supports cascading of up to nine frames. The SSM-256 self-
cascading mainly applies to networking applications where many
synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) interfaces are used. Adopting
the SSM-256 self-cascading can effectively increase the resource
utilization of the UMG8900 and reduce the utilization area in the
equipment room. The number of E1/T1 trunk channels ranges from
32 to 1792.

Classification Application
SSM-160 self- The UMG8900 adopts only SSM-160 frames and supports 160 K
cascading TDM switching. The UMG8900 supports cascading of up to three
frames. The SSM-160 self-cascading mainly applies to networking
applications where many SDH interfaces are used. Adopting the
SSM-160 self-cascading can effectively increase the resource
utilization of the UMG8900 and reduce the utilization area in the
equipment room. The number of E1/T1 trunk channels ranges from
63 to 1512.
SSM-32 self- The UMG8900 adopts only SSM-32 frames and supports 32 K/
cascading 96K TDM switching. The UMG8900 supports cascading of up to
three frames. The number of E1/T1 channels is less than 768. If many
E1/T1 interfaces are used, adopting the SSM-32 self-cascading can
effectively increase the resource utilization of the UMG8900 but
cannot reach the full configuration. The number of E1/T1 trunk
channels ranges from 32 to 768.
SSM-256 and SSM-32 The central switching frame is an SSM-256 frame, and the other
mixed cascading frames are SSM-32 frames. The UMG8900 supports cascading of
up to 29 frames.
The SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading is recommended if
many E1 interfaces are used or many echo cancellation (EC) boards
are required.
The number of E1/T1 trunk channels ranges from 32 to 7168.
The selection of the cascading mode depends on the actual user capacity, future expansion
requirement, and E1/T1 and SDH interface application in the networking.
NOTE
To clearly describe cascading between frames and between boards, board names such as the TNB, TND,
and TNC mentioned in the following parts are all the simplified physical board names.

cascading applies to the application with no more than 1512 E1
interfaces.
SSM-256 self- The UMG8900 supports cascading of up to nine frames. If all the
cascading connections on the time division multiplexing (TDM) side are based
on the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH), the UMG8900 supports
up to 7168 E1 interfaces.
If all the connections are based on E1, the UMG8900 supports up to
1792 E1 interfaces due to the limit of slots. The SSM-256 self-

SSM-32 mixed the networking where many E1 interfaces are mainly used. The
cascading system configuration is flexible. The numbers of E1 and SDH
interfaces can be configured flexibly to meet applications in multiple
office directions and transport modes. This mode can be widely used.
The UMG8900 supports various cascading functions. Therefore, smooth expansion can be
achieved through cascading during expansion and upgrade.
To ensure that the UMG8900 can achieve capacity expansion without interrupting services, refer
to the following in first installation:
l In SSM-160 self-cascading, the UMG8900 supports smooth expansion from one frame to
three frames.
l In SSM-32 self-cascading, the UMG8900 supports smooth expansion from one frame to
three frames. If more than three frames are required, an SSM-256 frame must be configured
as the central switching frame.
l In SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading, a maximum number of 29 frames can be
configured.

5.2 Cascading Based on the SSM-160 Hardware Platform

This chapter describes the cascading modes based on the SSM-160 hardware platform.
5.2.1 SSM-160 Self-Cascading

This section describes the SSM-160 self-cascading.
In the SSM-160 self-cascading, up to three frames can be cascaded. Both the main control frame
and the service frame are connected to the central switching frame through the 2 FE + 2 GE +
2 time division multiplexing (TDM) cascading channels. Each TDM optical interface on the
TND provides the 16 K TDM cascading channel.
The central switching frame and the main control frame are integrated into one frame, which is
always numbered 1.
Figure 5-1 shows the self-cascading of three SSM-160 frames.
Figure 5-1 Self-cascading of three SSM-160 frames
1#: main control frame 2#: service frame 3#: service frame
The TND provides four TDM, four FE, and four GE interfaces, which are used to implement
TDM, FE, and GE cascading respectively.

5.3 Cascading of the SSM-256 and SSM-32 Hardware

Platforms
This chapter describes the cascading modes of the SSM-256 and SSM-32 hardware platforms.

NOTE
It is not recommended that the SSM-256 self-cascading is used in a newly-deployed or expanded office.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading, up to nine frames can be cascaded. Both the main control frame
and the service frame are connected to the central switching frame through the 1 FE + 2 GE +
3 time division multiplexing (TDM) cascading channels or 1 FE + 2 GE + 4 TDM cascading
channels. When the TNU is configured, the 3 x 8 K TDM cascading channels are provided; when
the TNB is configured, the 4 x 8 K TDM cascading channels are provided.
The main control frame is always numbered 1, the central switching frame is always numbered
0, and the control frame is always numbered 8. In addition, only 1 FE cascading channel exists
between the control frame and the central switching frame. The central switching frame can be
configured independently. Alternatively, the main control frame can serve as the central
switching frame. In this case, you need to insert the BLU or FLU cascading board in the main
control frame.
Figure 5-2 shows the self-cascading of nine SSM-256 frames.

Figure 5-2 Self-cascading of nine SSM-256 frames
0#: central switching frame 1#: main control frame 2# to 7#: service frames 8#: control frame
The NETs are classified into UG01NETs and UG02NETs. The UG01NET provides 16 Gbit/s
packet switching capacity and the UG02NET provides 24 Gbit/s packet switching capability.
The UG01NET adopts the FE1 interface for FE cascading between frames and the UG02NET
adopts the FE1&FE2 and FE3&FE4 interfaces for FE cascading between frames. In SSM-256
self-cascading, only one FE interface is configured.

NOTE
It is not recommended that the SSM-32 self-cascading is used in a newly-deployed or expanded office.
In the SSM-32 self-cascading, up to three frames can be cascaded. The service frame is connected
to the main control frame through the 1 FE + 1 time division multiplexing (TDM) cascading
channels or 1 FE + 2 TDM cascading channels. When the UG01TNC is adopted, 1 x 8 K TDM
cascading channel is provided. In this case, the service frame must connect to the main control
frame through TDM cascading optical interface 0 (the one on the top). When the UG02TNC is
adopted, 2 x 8 K TDM cascading channels are provided. The service frame must connect to the
main control frame through TDM cascading interfaces 0 and 1 on the TNC.
The central switching frame and the main control frame are integrated into one frame, which is
always numbered 1. When one TDM cascading channel is provided, the TNC on the main control
frame (central switching frame) needs to provide two TDM cascading interfaces. When two

TDM cascading channels are provided, the TNC in the main control frame (central switching
frame) needs to provide four TDM cascading interfaces.
Figure 5-3 shows the self-cascading of three SSM-32 frames.
Figure 5-3 Self-cascading of three SSM-32 frames
1#: main control frame 2#: service frame 3#: service frame
If the GE plane cascading exists, the MPB needs to be inserted into the service frame to
implement packet switching. In this case, insert the NLUs in slots 4 and 5 and slots 10 and 11
of the main control frame to implement the GE plane cascading between the two service frames.
5.3.3 SSM-256 and SSM-32 Mixed Cascading (UG01NET and

BLU.A)
This section describes the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading when the UG01NET works
with the BLU.A
NOTE
It is not recommended that the SSM-256 and SSM-32 Mixed Cascading (UG01NET and BLU.A) is used
in a newly-deployed or expanded office.
The UMG8900 supports the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading. That is, the SSM-256
central switching frame can be cascaded with the SSM-32 frame to provide different numbers
of cascaded frames, thus satisfying different service requirements.
One pair of TNBs or BLUs in the SSM-256 central switching frame can be connected to up to
one SSM-256 frame or four SSM-32 frames. The number of the cascaded service frames is n x
SSM-256 + (7 - n) x 4 x SSM-32. The value n indicates the number of SSM-256 frames. In the
case of cascading only SSM-32 frames, up to 28 SSM-32 frames can be cascaded. Both the main

control frame and the service frame are connected to the central switching frame through the 1
FE + 1 time division multiplexing (TDM) cascading channels or 1 FE + 2 TDM cascading
channels.
The main control frame is always numbered 1 and the central switching frame is always
numbered 0. In addition, the 2 GE cascading channel exists only between the main control frame
or the service frame directly connected to the BLU and the central switching frame.
The cascading between the SSM-256 central switching frame and the SSM-256 service frame
is described in 5.3.1 SSM-256 Self-Cascading. This section describes the cascading between
the cascading between the SSM-256 central switching frame and the SSM-32 service frame.
When the SSM-256 frame is configured with the UG01NET and BLU.A, the SSM-256 frame
can be cascaded with the SSM-32 frame through either the TNB and NET or the BLU.
TNB and NET Used

The TNC in the SSM-32 frame provides one or two TDM cascading interfaces, to implement 1
x 8 K TDM cascading or 2 x 8 K TDM cascading. When providing 1 x 8 K TDM cascading
channel, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with four SSM-32 frames (one
SSM-32 main control frame and three SSM-32 service frames). When providing 2 x 8 K TDM
cascading channels, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with two SSM-32
frames (one SSM-32 main control frame and one SSM-32 service frame).
Here, 1 x 8 K TDM cascading channel is taken as an example. Figure 5-4 shows the cascading
of the TNB and NET with four SSM-32 frames.

Figure 5-4 Cascading of the TNB and NET with four SSM-32 frames
0#: central switching frame 1#: main control frame 2#~4#: service frame
In the GE plane, the GE cascading exists only between the main control frame and the central
switching frame. The NLUs in the SSM-32 service frame can be inserted into either slots 4 and
5 or slots 10 and 11.
BLU Used
The BLU in the central switching frame supports four TDM cascading interfaces and the TNC
in the SSM-32 frame supports one or two TDM cascading interfaces, which implements 1 x 8
K TDM or 2 x 8 K TDM cascading. When providing 1 x 8 K TDM cascading channel, the
SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with four SSM-32 service frames. When

providing 2 x 8 K TDM cascading channels, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be
cascaded with two SSM-32 service frames.
Here, 2 x 8 K TDM cascading channels are taken as an example. Figure 5-5 shows the cascading
between the BLU and two SSM-32 frames.

5.3.4 SSM-256 and SSM-32 Mixed Cascading (UG02NET and BLU.C

\BLU.E)
This section describes the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading when the UG02NET works
with the BLU.C\BLU.E.
The UMG8900 supports the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading. That is, the SSM-256
central switching frame can be cascaded with different numbers of SSM-32 frames, thus
satisfying different service requirements.
One pair of TNBs or BLUs in the SSM-256 central switching frame can be connected to up to
one SSM-256 frame or four SSM-32 frames. The number of the cascaded service frames is n x
SSM-256 + (7 - n) x 4 x SSM-32. The value n indicates the number of SM-256 frames. In the
case of cascading only SSM-32 frames, up to 28 SSM-32 frames can be cascaded. Both the main
control frame and the service frame are connected to the central switching frame through the 1
FE + 1 time division multiplexing (TDM) cascading channels or 1 FE + 2 TDM cascading
channels.
The main control frame is always numbered 1 and the central switching frame is always
numbered 0. In 1 TDM cascading, each pair of TNBs or BLUs can be cascaded with up to two

service frames with 1 GE cascading channel. In 2 TDM cascading, 1 GE cascading exist on the
two cascaded service frames.
When the SSM-256 frame is configured with the UG02NET and BLU.C\BLU.E, the SSM-256
frame can be cascaded with the SSM-32 frame through either the TNB and NET or the BLU.
TNB and NET Used

The TNC in the SSM-32 frame provides one or two TDM cascading interfaces, to implement 1
x 8 K TDM cascading or 2 x 8 K TDM cascading. When providing 1 x 8 K TDM cascading
channel, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with four SSM-32 frames (one
SSM-32 main control frame and three SSM-32 service frames). When providing 2 x 8 K TDM
cascading channels, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with two SSM-32
frames (one SSM-32 main control frame and one SSM-32 service frame).
Here, 1 x 8 K TDM cascading channel is taken as an example. Figure 5-6 shows the cascading
of the TNB and NET with four SSM-32 frames.

Figure 5-6 Cascading between the TNB and NET and four SSM-32 frames
0#: central switching frame 1#: main control frame 2# to 4#: service frames
NOTE
When the UG02NET works with the BLU.C\BLU.E to implement the cascading, the one-to-two network cable
is required for FE cascading.
In the GE plane, the GE cascading exists only between the main control frame and the central
switching frame and between the service frame numbered 2 and the central switching frame.
The NLUs in the SSM-32 frame can be inserted into either slots 4 and 5 of the SSM-32 service
frame or slots 10 and 11 of the service frame.

BLU Used
The BLU in the central switching frame supports four TDM cascading interfaces and the TNC
in the SSM-32 frame supports one or two TDM cascading interfaces, which implements 1 x 8
K TDM or 2 x 8 K TDM cascading. When providing 1 x 8 K TDM cascading channel, the
SSM-256 central switching frame can be cascaded with four SSM-32 service frames. When
providing 2 x 8 K TDM cascading channels, the SSM-256 central switching frame can be
cascaded with two SSM-32 service frames.
Here, 2 x 8 K TDM cascading channels are taken as an example. Figure 5-7 shows the cascading
between the BLU and two SSM-32 frames.

In the 2 x 8 K TDM cascading, the GE cascading can exist on every SSM-32 service frame
cascaded with the BLU.

About This Chapter
This chapter describes the operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) system of the
UMG8900. Operation and maintenance functions are basic requirements for subscribers to
manage and maintain the UMG8900. An easy and flexible OAM manner can reduce the
operational expenditure (OPEX) of the UMG8900.
6.1 System Architecture

This section describes the architecture and components of the operation, administration, and
maintenance (OAM) system of the UMG8900.
6.2 OAM Function
This section describes the operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) functions of the
UMG8900.

6.1 System Architecture

This section describes the architecture and components of the operation, administration, and
maintenance (OAM) system of the UMG8900.
OAM refers to all the work a carrier does on a telecommunication device or system that is put
into operation. The purpose of OAM is to ensure that the system runs normally and provides
excellent telecommunication services.
The UMG8900 provides powerful OAM functions to facilitate routine management and
maintenance and improve the usability and maintainability.
Figure 6-1 shows the OAM system of the UMG8900.
Figure 6-1 OAM system of the UMG8900
UMG8900: universal media gateway LMT: local maintenance terminal
LAN: local area network PSTN: public switched telephone network
The OAM system is in client/server mode. The UMG8900 host acts as the server, and the local
maintenance terminal (LMT) acts as the client. The LMT provides the management and
maintenance functions.
The UMG8900 achieves remote and local maintenance through the LMT and provides interfaces
with Huawei integrated network management system (NMS) N2000. The N2000 manages
devices in the network in a centralized way. The N2000 consists of one N2000 server and
multiple N2000 clients.
The server of the OAM system is located in the main control frame of the UMG8900. Therefore,
the main control frame must be configured either in the multi-frame cascading or in the single-
frame application. The UMG8900 implements the operation, administration, and maintenance
of the whole device and provides interfaces with the external maintenance client through the
main control frame.

In the single-frame networking, the main control frame, service frame, and central switching
frame are integrated into one frame. In the multi-frame cascading, the main control frame is an
independent frame. It must be configured at first and be always numbered 1. For the convenience
of operation and maintenance, the information about the main control frame and the default
boards is already added by default.
The master and slave OMC interfaces connect to a local area network (LAN) Switch through
straight-through network cables. The OMC interfaces connect to the LMT through the LAN
Switch and connect to a wide area network (WAN) and the Internet through a router.
The main control board works in master/slave mode. When the master main control board is
switched to the slave state, the UMG8900 automatically sends and receives OM messages
through the original slave OMC interface. Thus, the connection with the LMT is not torn down.
The LMT can connect to the UMG8900 host directly or through a LAN Switch. The two
connection modes differ in network cables. The direct connection uses crossover network cables
while the connection through the LAN Switch uses straight-through network cables.
The maintenance and management of the UMG8900 can also be conducted through remote dial-
up access. In this case, a remote access server must be configured on the UMG8900 side or a
remote terminal connects the UMG8900 host through the Internet.
6.1.1 LMT Management System

This section describes the features and functions of the local maintenance terminal (LMT)
management system.
The UMG8900 provides the graphic user interface (GUI) based LMT and man-machine
language (MML) based LMT. The LMT supports device configuration and management, service
maintenance, performance measurement, service trace, security management, and fault
management.
The LMT, as an operation and maintenance client, connects to the back administration module
(BAM) of the OMU in standard client/server mode.
The BAM supports device management and provides external management interfaces. The BAM
employs the industry-popular real-time and distributed operating system. This improves the
service processing capability and the response speed of the system. The BAM connects and
manages other functional units through the front administration module (FAM).
The LMT provides friendly graphic interfaces and abundant online help information. On the
LMT, you can check command meaning and parameter description when using commands. In
addition, you can view alarm information, including alarm meanings and handling suggestions.
The LMT manages multiple UMG8900s at the same time, provides external alarm boxes for
reporting audio and visual alarms, and sends alarm information to maintenance engineers
through the short message center (SMC) so that they can clear alarms in time and ensure normal
running of the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 adopts the dual-plane design to ensure reliable connection between the LMT
and the UMG8900 host. Figure 6-2 shows the networking application based on dual
maintenance planes.

Figure 6-2 Networking application based on dual maintenance planes
LMT: local maintenance terminal UMG8900: universal media OMU: operation and maintenance
gateway unit
TNU: TDM switching unitNET: LAN Switch: Ethernet switch -

packet switching unit
The OMU can be the MOMU, MOME, or MOMB.

The TNU can be the MTNC or MTND.
In actual networking applications, the master and slave OMUs of the UMG8900 are connected
to the LAN Switch by standard network cables. The LMT communicates with the UMG8900
host also through the LAN Switch. Only the master OMU works during the communications. If
the master OMU fails, the slave OMU becomes the master board and connects to the LMT. The
master and slave OMUs provide only one external maintenance IP address (of the OMC
interface).
NOTE
The back TNC/TND provides the OMC interface for the OMU to meet the rear cabling requirement.
6.1.2 Integrated NMS

This section describes the features and functions of the integrated network management system
(NMS).
The N2000 is an integrated NMS in Huawei iManager network management solutions. It is the
platform software for centralized management of difference devices in the fixed network. The
N2000 is an integrated NMS in Huawei iManager network management solutions. It is the
platform software for centralized management of difference devices in the fixed network. The
N2000 communicates with the UMG8900 host through the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP)/
Internet Protocol (IP).
The N2000 facilitates maintenance of alarm information, operation and management of the
UMG8900, and management and query of the UMG8900 for centralized management.
The N2000 consists of N2000 server and N2000 client. Multiple N2000 clients can be adopted.
The LMT is loosely coupled with the N2000. The N2000 achieves common management of the

UMG8900, such as topology management and fault management on all the UMG8900s in the
network. The LMT provides the special management function of the UMG8900.
6.1.3 MML Command Line

This section describes the features and functions of the man-machine language (MML) command
line.
The UMG8900 provides graphical interface-based OM functions as well as MML commands.
The MML commands can be used to implement data configuration, routine operation,
maintenance, and management.
The MML interface is a man-machine interactive interface specified based on ITU Z.301-Z.341
recommendations. MML provides commands to operate and query the UMG8900. With these
commands, you can monitor and manage the UMG8900 in all aspects.
MML features the following:
l Encapsulation: Services of the UMG8900 are encapsulated with MML commands. Each
command corresponds to a function to enhance the efficiency of a simple operation. For
example, adding an IP address for an IP interface, several steps can be integrated through
MML commands to improve efficiency.
l Consistency check: Data consistency check is performed by the MML system. The relation
between tables is checked when the function is performed to filter unwanted data.
l Conversion: MML commands are similar to the lower layer application program interface
(API), and all the other applications are built on it. The graphic user interface (GUI) terminal
translates operations of the subscriber interface into commands. It then transmits them to
the MML system to perform the function and return text results. The results in the graphical
interface are converted into proper printouts. This ensures system stability, and the normal
running of the UMG8900 is not affected due to errors in the program.
l Interaction: Input and output of the MML system based on the pure character string support
the interaction between Telnet and the UMG8900. Therefore, the client can cross over
several platforms, for example, support dump terminal without processing capability. This
is the benefit of integrated network management, and it indicates the development trend in
communication products.
In MML graphical interface, you can select historical commands and search keywords. Then,
you can select needed commands more easily.
The MML graphical interface provides prompts for ranges of specific command parameters.
You can also type a parameter through the drop-down combo box, the drop-down list box, and
the check box.
6.2 OAM Function

This section describes the operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) functions of the
UMG8900.
The UMG8900 provides an graphical operation and maintenance environment. The main OAM
functions are as follows:

Device Management
In a graphical interface, you can view information about device configuration, cascading, and
current status of boards and the power distribution system. Through the shortcut menu, you can
query, display, switch over, reset, isolate, block, or activate boards and interfaces.
Through the graphical interface and the man-machine language (MML) commands, you can
manage and maintain the hardware, system resources, signaling links, clocks, and physical ports.
Data Management
Data management helps to manage and maintain configuration data and operation data of the
UMG8900.
The configuration data includes service configuration and local office configuration data. The
UMG8900 can save, dump, and restore the configuration data to facilitate system upgrade and
maintenance.
Alarms, logs, performance data, and tracing data are generated during system running. The
UMG8900 provides the direct data saving function as well as the dumping function to implement
real-time data backup. This helps fault location and network optimization.
Alarm Management
Alarm management refers to receiving and dealing with alarms. According to alarm type and
level, a specific alarm terminal such as alarm box and alarm management system starts up,
delivers related aural and optical signals, and sends the translated alarm information to the
network management center (NMC) through network management interfaces. In addition, alarm
management also supports alarm information saving, historical alarm record querying, and alarm
handling mode setting.
The alarm severity level can be classified into critical, major, minor, and warning.
l Critical: It refers to an alarm that is global and may disable the UMG8900 running. It must
be cleared at once; otherwise, the whole UMG8900 may break down.
l Major: It refers to a board or cable alarm within a small scope. It affects the service quality
and must be cleared in time; otherwise, services cannot be normally provided.
l Minor: It refers to a common alarm that describes whether the UMG8900 or the line works
properly. It reminds maintenance personnel to determine the cause to the alarm and clear
potential faults.
l Warning: It refers to an alarm that may affect services provided by the UMG8900 due to
potential errors. You can clear such alarms based on actual prompts.
Tracing Management
Tracing management supports service tracing, signaling tracing, interface tracing, and message
translation. It also performs real-time dynamic tracing on service resources and interface
protocols in connection, status migration, resource utilization, and control information stream.
The tracing information can be stored to analyze and locate faults.
Performance Management
Performance management measures services and call objects of all the call types. These statistics
are the reference for UMG8900 running status analysis and telecommunications network
planning, design, operation, management, and maintenance.

The UMG8900 provides effective performance management measures. Performance

management is implemented through defining of different measure objects, measure sets,
measure units, and measure items and flexible setting of measure time.
Environment and Power Supply Monitoring

Environment and power supply monitoring achieves remote monitoring and control on
environment, power supply, and other intelligent devices of the UMG8900 in the central or
remote equipment room. Thus, remote monitoring and centralized management in an equipment
room where no one is on duty can be implemented.

About This Chapter
This chapter describes the host maintenance system of the UMG8900.
7.1 Introduction to the Host Maintenance System

This section describes the architecture and features of the host maintenance system.
7.2 MBus System
This section describes the architecture and functions of the maintenance bus (MBus) system.
7.3 FE Maintenance System
This section describes the architecture and functions of the fast Ethernet (FE) maintenance
system.

7.1 Introduction to the Host Maintenance System

This section describes the architecture and features of the host maintenance system.
7.1.1 System Architecture

This section describes the architecture of the host maintenance system.
The UMG8900 provides two types of maintenance channels: fast Ethernet (FE) and maintenance
bus (MBus). The maintenance and management inside frames are in both FE and MBus modes.
The maintenance and management of the UMG8900 are implemented through cascading FE
channels between frames.
The following takes a single SSM-256 frame as an example. Figure 7-1 shows the architecture
of the host maintenance system.
Figure 7-1 Architecture of the host maintenance system
The host maintenance system consists of three types of modules: back administration module
(BAM), front administration module (FAM), and MBus, as well as two types of buses: control
area network (CAN) and FE. The functions of these modules and buses are as follows:
l BAM: The BAM is located on the OMU, as an embedded hard disk or CF card. It provides
the interface between the UMG8900 and the local maintenance terminal (LMT). The

LMT and the BAM are in the standard client/server mode. The LMT acts as the client to
manage the whole UMG8900 by communicating with the BAM through TCP/IP-based
man-machine language (MML) protocols and binary protocols.
l FAM: The FAM is located on the boards with upper layer software. Boards communicate
with each other and service boards communicate with the OMU/MPU/TNC/TND all
through the FAM. The control messages between internal modules and the OM messages
are transmitted and exchanged through FE buses between FAMs.
l MBus: The MBus achieves management and maintenance of hardware, including lower
layer maintenance highly requiring real-time operation. The functions of the MBus include
power control, environment monitoring, board archive management, alarm generation, and
hot plugging management. Every board is equipped with an MBus module. The MBus
module collects the data of the board and then sends the data to the FAM through the CAN
bus.
7.1.2 System Features

This section describes the features of the host maintenance system.
The back administration module (BAM) is the core component on the UMG8900. If the main
control frame is an SSM-256 frame, the hard disk embedded in the OMU works as the BAM.
If the main control frame is an SSM-160 frame, the compact flash (CF) embedded in the OME
works as the BAM. If the main control frame is an SSM-32 frame, the compact flash (CF) card
embedded in the OMB works as the BAM. The major features are as follows:
l The host maintenance system provides two types of maintenance channels: Fast Ethernet
(FE) and maintenance bus (MBus). The FE maintenance channel is based on the dual-plane
design, and the MBus channel is the master and slave dual channels that can avoid single
point failure.
l The host maintenance system uses the embedded BAM to maintain and manage the
UMG8900. The BAM communicates with the local maintenance terminal (LMT) and the
iManager in server/client mode.
l The maintenance and management inside frames are in both FE and MBus modes. The
maintenance and management of the UMG8900 are completed through cascading FE
channels between frames.
l In multi-frame cascading, the MMPU/MOMU in each SSM-256 frame maintains and
manages the devices in the frame through the MBus and FE channels; the TND in each
SSM-160 frame maintains and manages the devices in the frame through the MBus and FE
channels; the TNC in each SSM-32 frame maintains and manages the devices in the frame
through the MBus and FE channels.
l The operation, maintenance, and management of the UMG8900 require the cooperation of
the LMT installed on a common PC.
7.2 MBus System

This section describes the architecture and functions of the maintenance bus (MBus) system.
7.2.1 Architecture of the MBus System

This section describes the architecture of the maintenance bus (MBus) system.

The MBus system communicates based on the control area network (CAN) mode and is a
relatively independent maintenance and management system of the UMG8900.
The MBus system can be out of the control of the host or the upper-layer software of boards. It
can work properly after the board is powered off. In addition, any fault of the MBus system does
not affect the service running of boards.
The MBus is located in each frame of the UMG8900, and the MBus system in each frame is
relatively independent of each other. The MBus system manages the boards in the frame in terms
of hardware related specifications such as board temperature and voltage. The MBus system
works in master/slave mode to implement efficient management, communications, and
protection. This effectively ensures the service life of the hardware.
The following takes a single SSM-256 frame as an example. Figure 7-2 shows the architecture
of the MBus system.
Figure 7-2 Architecture of the MBus system
Every board is equipped with an MBus module. The MBus modules communicate with each
other through the internal CAN bus. The CAN bus works in 1+1 backup mode.
In the SSM-256 frame, the master MBus module is located on the master OMU/MPU. In the
SSM-32 frame, the master MBus module is located on the master TNC. In the SSM-160, the
master MBus module is located on the master TND. The MBus modules on the other boards are
slave modules managed and controlled by the master MBus module.

The MBus system in each frame is independent of each other. In the main control frame, the
slave MBus module on each board collects the data about this board and sends the data to the
master MBus module through the CAN bus. The master MBus module sends the data to the
front administration module (FAM) of the board. Then, the FAM sends the data to the back
administration module (BAM). In a frame other than the main control frame, the slave MBus
module on each board collects the data about this board and sends the data to the master MBus
module. The master MBus module sends the data to the FAM of the board. Then, the FAM
directly sends the data to the BAM through the cascading FE bus between frames.
NOTE
The master MBus module is always located on the master OMU/MPU/TNC/TND. The MBus module on
the slave OMU/MPU/TNC/TND is the slave MBus module managed by the master MBus module. If the
master and slave OMUs/MPUs/TNCs/TNDs are switched, the master and slave MBus modules are also
switched.
7.2.2 Functions of the MBus System

This section describes the functions of the maintenance bus (MBus) system.
Power Control
Power control refers to the control related to the power distribution of the UMG8900, including
board power-on and power-off. The normal startup process of the UMG8900 is as follows:
A frame is powered on. -> The MBus modules on each board are powered on. -> The master
OMU/MPU/TNC/TND starts. -> The other boards in this frame are powered on under the control
of the master MBus module on the master OMU/MPU/TNC/TND. -> The other boards start.
NOTE
The board where the master MBus module is located can be the OMU/MPU in an SSM-256 frame or the
TNC/TND in an SSM-32 frame.
In each frame, all the MBus modules are powered on at the same time. At this time, the OMUs/
MPUs/TNCs/TNDs begins to start. After the OMUs/MPUs/TNCs/TNDs starts and the master
and slave boards are determined, the MBus modules on the other boards in this frame power on
these boards one by one under the control of the MBus module on the master OMU/MPU/
TNC/TND. This power-on order can minimizes the risk of power surge damage to the
UMG8900.
If a fault such as overhigh temperature or voltage occurs on a board, the MBus system can power
off the board directly or command the upper-layer software to power off the specified board.
Environment Monitoring
The MBus system on each board provides seven channels of analog voltage monitoring and two
channels of temperature monitoring. It connects to corresponding sensors to monitor the voltage
and temperature of the running boards.
If the temperature or voltage exceeds the threshold, the MBus system can power off the boards
to avoid damage to the boards and protect the hardware.
Board Archive Management

Each board of the UMG8900 stores certain common information about itself in the erasable
programmable read only memory (EPROM). The information includes the manufacture

information and the attribute information. The manufacture information includes the type and
version of the finished board, printed circuit board (PCB) version, and manufacture data and
place. The attribute information includes the characteristics of different physical boards, and
modification and adjustment records.
The MBus system can modify and manage the preceding information. When a board starts, the
host accesses the information on the MBus to load software to the board.
Alarms
The MBus system provides the alarm function. During the normal running of the UMG8900,
the MBus system consistently records the board status information for the query of the main
control board in this frame. If certain specifications exceed the alarm thresholds set by the system,
relevant alarms are reported to the operation and maintenance center.
These alarms are usually critical alarms. After receiving these alarms, the operation and
maintenance center switches the specified board to the slave state or power off the board.
Hot Plugging Management

All the boards of the UMG8900 support the hot plugging function. Before removing a board,
press the tact switch on the front panel of the board. After detecting the status change of the tact
switch, the MBus system sends the change information to the operation and maintenance center.
Then, the main control board sends the power-off command to the specified board.
After receiving the power-off command, the MBus module on the board powers off the board.
At the same time, the blue indicator on the panel of the board lights up, indicating that you can
remove the board.
In addition, the MBus system can also reset a board and load the lower-layer software to a board.
7.3 FE Maintenance System

This section describes the architecture and functions of the fast Ethernet (FE) maintenance
system.
7.3.1 Architecture of the FE Maintenance System

This section describes the architecture of the Fast Ethernet (FE) maintenance system.
The FE maintenance system provides maintenance channels for the entire UMG8900. The
maintenance channels are located within or between frames.
In an SSM-256 frame, the main control board is the OMU/MPU. In an SSM-32 frame, the main
control board is the OMB/MPB. In an SSM-160, the main control board is the OME/MPE.
Figure 7-3 shows the FE maintenance system in multi-frame cascading.

Figure 7-3 FE maintenance system in multi-frame cascading
In a frame, the service boards communicate with each other through the FE bus on the backplane.
In an SSM-256 frame, the FE switching module is located on the OMU/MPU. In an SSM-32
frame, the FE switching module is located on the TNC. In an SSM-160 frame, the FE switching
module is located on the TND. The FE switching modules and the dual FE buses constitute a
dual-plane FE maintenance system to avoid single point failures.
The frames connect to one another through FE cascading cables, and the entire UMG8900 forms
a complete FE maintenance system. SSM-256 frames and SSM-32 frames connect to each other
through the FE interfaces on the NETs, BLUs, and TNCs to implement FE cascading between
frames.
SSM-256 frames and SSM-160 frames connect to each other through the FE interfaces on the
BLUs, and TNDs to implement FE cascading between frames.
In FE maintenance mode, certain interface boards such as the E8T and E1G do not provide
upper-layer software and thus do not provide FE bus interfaces. Their front boards perform the
management function.

7.3.2 Functions of the FE Maintenance System

This section describes the functions of the Fast Ethernet (FE) maintenance system.
In FE maintenance mode, the boards with upper-layer software are equipped with front
administration modules (FAMs). The communications between the boards, and between the
service boards and the control board OMU/MPU/TNC/TND are implemented through the
FAMs. Interactive messages are transmitted through the internal FE maintenance channels.
The back administration module (BAM) is located on the OMU/OMB/OME. The BAM
communicates with the other boards through the FAM of the OMU/OMB/OME.
The FE maintenance system provides the following channels:
l Interactive channels for operation and maintenance functions such as internal data
configuration, software loading, board status querying, command interaction, and alarm
reporting.
l Channels for the control message interaction between internal modules, including control
message exchange and signaling transfer between boards.

8.1 Clock System Overview

The clock system on the UMG8900 provides Stratum 2 (A or B) or Stratum 3 clock signals for
internal use. It uses clock signals from various standard reference sources for the UMG8900 to
achieve synchronization with other devices on the network. Figure 8-1 shows the clock system
of the UMG8900 using the SSM-256 frame.
Figure 8-1 Clock system of the UMG8900 using the SSM-256 frame

The clock system shown in Figure 8-1 can obtain its clock signals from various sources listed
in Table 8-1.

Clock Module

A clock module is a combination of CLK board (or CKMB subboard), NET (or TNC or TND)
board, and interface boards that provide the line clock extraction function.
The UMG8900 has two clock modules: master and slave. If the master clock module is faulty,
the slave clock module takes over to continue providing clock signals.
The clock module processes clock signals in two ways:
l The CLK board is responsible for clock processing; the NET, TNC, or TND board is
responsible for clock driving.
l The CKMB subboard processes clock signals from the Building Integrated Timing Supply
(BITS) clock and 8 kHz line clock, but not from the Global Positioning System (GPS) or
GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) clock. The CKMB subboard connects
to an external clock in the same way as the CLK board.
Clock Distribution
The clock system connects to external clock sources through the CLK board or CKMB subboard
and sends processed clock signals to the NET, TNC, or TND board by the backplane, clock
distribution wires, or Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) cascading. The NET, TNC, or TND
board converts the received clock signals to 32.768 MHz, 38.88 MHz, and 2 kHz clock signals
and sends them to the service boards that require clock signals.

l The interface board that has only one 8K_OUT interface can provide two paths of clock signals using
the clock cable. One path connects to the master CLK board; the other path connects to the slave CLK
board.
l The 2M_IN interface on the CLK board supports both 2 MHz and 2 Mbit/s BITS clock signals. Using
2 Mbit/s clock signals is preferable.
Clock Signal Distribution

After extracting clock signals from an external clock source, the CLK board in the main control
frame distributes clock signals in the following way:
1. The CLK board produces 16 kHz clock signals after internal processing and driving.
2. The CLK board sends 16 kHz clock signals, through the GTLP bus, to the master and slave
NET boards that also reside in the main control frame. Meanwhile, the CLK board sends
a maximum of 18 paths of 16 kHz clock signals, through clock distribution wires, to the
master and slave NET boards in the central switching frame and service frames.
3. All these master and slave NET boards produce required 32.768 MHz, 38.88 MHz, and 2
kHz clock signals using techniques of frequency division, frequency multiplication, and
driving, and send them to service boards through the backplane.

NOTE
l The CLK board also provides the 2M_OUT interface for BITS clock signals and the 1.5M/64K output
interface for external synchronization signals so that other devices can receive these signals from the
CLK board.
l Only the UG03MCLK_VD board (one type of CLK board) provides the 1.5M/64K interface.

The clock system on the UMG8900 that uses cascaded SSM-32 frames works in two ways:
l The CLK board, which is always installed in back slots 0 and 1 of the main control frame,
provides Stratum 2A or Stratum 3 clock signals.
l The CKMB board, which is installed on the TNC board in the main control frame, provides
Stratum 3 clock signals.
Stratum 2A timing is more accurate than Stratum 3 timing. Either CLK board or CKMB board
can be used depending on the network's requirement for clock accuracy.

9 Power Supply and Monitoring Systems
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the architectures and functions of the power supply and monitoring
systems of the UMG8900.
9.1 Architecture of the Power Supply System

This section describes the architecture of the power supply system.
9.2 Monitoring System
This section describes the monitoring system of the UMG8900.

9.1 Architecture of the Power Supply System

This section describes the architecture of the power supply system.
Figure 9-1 shows the architecture of the power supply system of the UMG8900.
Figure 9-1 Architecture of the power supply system
NOTE
As shown in Figure 9-1, the protection ground (PGND) cable is connected to the ground bolt on the top
of the cabinet but not with the input terminal of the power distribution frame.
The power supply system of the UMG8900 supports -48 V and -60 V power supplies. The following takes
the -48 V power supply as an example to describe the power supply system of the UMG8900.
The power supply system consists of AC power input system, DC power supply system, DC
power distribution cabinet (high impedance DC cabinet), and cabinet feeder system. The cabinet
feeder system comprises the power distribution boxes for cabinets and the busbars.
The basic principle of the power supply system is as follows. The DC power supply system
converts AC to -48 V or -60 V DC through rectifiers and distributes DC to the DC power
distribution cabinet. At the same time, the power supply system provides storage batteries as
standby DC power supply. The DC power distribution cabinet distributes power supply to each
cabinet and connects the PGND cables to the busbars. The cabinet feeder system distributes
power supply to all the frames in each cabinet and connects the PGND cables to the busbars.
In actual delivery of the UMG8900, usually the feeder system in cabinets is delivered. The feeder
system delivered includes power distribution frames (PDFs), busbars, and power cables for
frames. Before delivery, the hardware of the system is already installed and debugged. You only
need to complete subsequent hardware installation.
During site survey, you can check the conditions of the equipment room together with survey
engineers of Huawei. Then, you can determine whether to purchase the AC power input system,
DC power supply system, and DC power distribution cabinet from Huawei or other suppliers.
9.1.1 DC Power Supply System

This section describes the DC power supply system and the requirements for it.

Requirements for Storage Batteries

Storage batteries are an important part of the DC power supply system. The storage batteries
provide the following functions:
l They can stabilize the voltage to ensure proper running of switching devices.
l They can store energy. If the mains supply is cut down, storage batteries can supply power
for some time based on the capacities. Thus, communications is not interrupted due to the
power cut of the mains.
l They can act as a big capacitor and help to absorb the surge current from rectifiers.
l They can act as a filter to prevent noise and industrial frequency interference from crossing
into communications devices.
The storage batteries of a switch are charged and discharged in low and constant voltage charge
mode. Table 9-1 lists the requirements.

Requirements for Rectifiers (Primary Power Supply)

Rectifiers are used to rectify AC and must meet the following requirements:
l Multiple rectifiers must be able to run in parallel connection and current equalizers must
exist between the rectifiers.
l Current limiters must be available for the rectifiers.

l The output voltage of the rectifiers must meet the requirement for the charge of storage
batteries. That is, the output voltage is 2.35 V × 24 = 56.4 V for -48 V DC.
l The rectifiers must be equipped with DC voltmeters and ammeters.
l For the rectifiers, the efficiency must be above 85% and the power factor must be above
0.8.
l If possible, the rectifiers must be able to cool down by themselves and run continuously
with full load under the condition of 0°C to 40°C.
l The output noise voltage of the rectifiers must meet the requirements in Table 9-2. The
values are measured with a psophometer plus a weighted network.

Requirements for DC Power Distribution and Control Panels

l Each control panel must be able to access two packs of storage batteries at least. If one pack
of storage batteries fails and disconnects from the power supply system, the other pack
must be able to supply power normally.
l Each control panel must be able to access five rectifiers at least.
l The power supply devices must be fully automated and meet the unattended requirement.
The switch is also strict with random transient noise. This type of noise includes external
magnetic interference and abnormal noise during the device running due to the interference of
the device and ground cables. The shorter the duration of a transient pulse is, the higher the
allowable value of the transient noise is. For the allowable values, see Figure 9-2.

Figure 9-2 Allowable values of the transient noise
When rectifiers charge storage batteries in float charge mode, the number of rectifiers in
operation must vary with the amount of load. If one rectifier fails, it must be able to withdraw
and a standby rectifier goes into operation automatically.
When the mains supply is cut down, the storage batteries are discharged. When the mains supply
recovers, the discharged storage batteries are charged with the current of 10 hour power. When
the charge voltage reaches 56.4 V, the charge mode automatically changes to constant voltage
charge.
When the storage batteries are charged to the full capacity, the charge mode automatically
changes to float charge.
Other Requirements
l When power supply devices fail or work improperly, visual and audio alarms must be
reported. In addition, power supply alarms must be sent to the operation and maintenance
center (OMC).
l When a tributary line in the power supply system is short-circuited, the whole power
distribution system must be immune to the decrease of depth voltage. The peak voltage
during the arcing must cause no faults to the switch.
9.1.2 DC Power Distribution Cabinet

This section describes the architecture of the DC power distribution cabinet.
The DC power distribution cabinet distributes -48 V DC and connects the protection ground
(PGND) cables to the busbars. This cabinet adopts the same rack, top cover, and doors as the
switch cabinet. The two cabinets are the same in exterior and dimension, and are different only
in internal components. The DC power distribution cabinet does not consist of a power
distribution box. Instead, it is composed of a monitoring frame and multiple power distribution
frames (PDFs). The number of PDFs depends on the total number of cabinets. Up to four PDFs
can be installed in a power distribution cabinet. Each PDF can distribute up to 15 groups of DC.
Each group has an overcurrent protection switch. Frames 1 and 3, frames 2 and 4 belong to two
power supply systems respectively. That is, a DC power distribution cabinet can provide up to
2 x 30 outputs. The configuration depends on actual conditions.

9.2 Monitoring System

This section describes the monitoring system of the UMG8900.
9.2.1 Power Distribution Monitoring

This section describes the principles and methods of power distribution monitoring.
A power distribution frame (PDF) is configured in each cabinet. A service processing frame
monitors the PDF. Three frames are configured in one cabinet, and one frame is required to
provide the monitoring interface to the PDF in this cabinet. The principles for selecting the frame
are as follows:
l If the main control frame is configured in the cabinet, the main control frame provides the
monitoring interface to the PDF in the cabinet. The main control frame is numbered 1.
l If no main control frame is configured in the cabinet, the frame at the bottom of the cabinet
provides the monitoring interface to the PDF in the cabinet.
l A frame provides only one monitoring interface. Therefore, the frame monitoring the PDF
must use the one-to-two monitoring cable. The cable is connected to the monitoring
interface of the fan frame in the local frame and that of the PDF in the cabinet.
Figure 9-3 shows the PDF monitoring.
Figure 9-3 PDF monitoring
The monitoring principles of the UMG8900 PDF are as follows:

l A PDF is equipped with a power distribution monitoring and signal transfer board. This
board monitors the voltages of the two channels of -48 V/-60 V DC power supply, ambient
temperature, humidity, status of the air breaker, and status of the lightning protection unit.
In addition, this board reports the monitored parameters through the RS485 serial port to
complete the monitoring on the running status of the PDF.

l The monitoring board provides an RS485 serial port. Through an external RS485 serial
port cable, this port is connected to the Monitor interface on the transfer box at the back of
a service frame.
l The interface on the transfer box is connected to the main control board OMU/MPU/
TNC/TND in this frame through the backplane. The OMU/MPU processes the information
collected by the monitoring board in the PDF and then reports the information to the
operation and maintenance center (OMC) system. If any anomaly occurs, alarms are
reported to the alarm management system and the alarm box.
l The OMU/TNC/TND in the main control frame sends the information on PDF anomaly to
the back administration module (BAM) of the UMG8900 through the internal bus of the
frame. The MPU/TNC/TND in a service frame sends the information on PDF anomaly to
the BAM of the UMG8900 through the cascading fast Ethernet (FE) channel between
frames.
9.2.2 Fan Monitoring

This section describes the principles and methods of fan monitoring.
The UMG8900 adopts the integrated frame with a fan box at the bottom. In a fan box, a fan
monitoring board monitors the running status of the fans and adjusts the rotation speed of the
fans based on the temperature of the frame.
Figure 9-4 shows the fan monitoring.
Figure 9-4 Fan monitoring
The monitoring principles of the UMG8900 fans are as follows:
l The monitoring board in a fan box monitors the running status of the fan box.
l The monitoring board provides an RS485 serial port. This port is connected to the Monitor
interface on the transfer box through an external RS485 serial port cable. The transfer box
is connected to the backplane of the frame and finally connected to the OMU/MPU/TNC/
TND.

l The OMU/MPU processes the information collected by the monitoring board and then
reports the information to the operation and maintenance center (OMC) system. If any
anomaly occurs, alarms are reported to the alarm management system and the alarm box.
l The fans adopt the speed adjusting technology. The rotation speed of the fans is controllable
on the condition that heat dissipation and reliable running of the UMG8900 are ensured.
The monitoring and communication module in the fan enables you to learn the running
status of the internal components in the fan frame through the indicators. In addition, you
can remotely maintain the fan frame through the network management terminal. For
example, you can query the status of the fans.
9.2.3 Frame Monitoring

This section describes the principles and methods of frame monitoring.
Frame monitoring refers to the monitoring on the boards in the UMG8900. Environment
variables must be monitored during the normal running of the boards. Such variables include
input voltage, temperature, humidity, CPU utilization, and service alarm. The real-time
monitoring on the running status of the boards can detect faults in time and ensure normal running
of the boards.
The monitoring on the board running status consists of two parts. One part is to monitor the
lower layer running of a board, such as voltage, temperature, and humidity through sensors on
the board and then report the information to the MBus system of this board. The other part is to
monitor the higher layer running of a board related to services through the higher layer software
of the board.
For the architecture of the host maintenance system and the functions of the MBus system, see
Host Maintenance System.
9.2.4 UA Frame Monitoring

This section describes the monitoring principles of the user access (UA) frame.
Overview of the Monitoring System

Take the UAM-N68 as an example. The UA frame performs environment monitoring through
the service switching module (SSM) and system-supported device. The monitoring units are
connected to the frame with the straight-through cable and communicate with the OMU board.
Figure 9-5 shows the monitoring solution.
Figure 9-5 Monitoring solution

The environment monitoring frame is composed of the environment monitoring board,

backplane, and front board. The environment monitoring board is the H303ESC. The backplane
is the H601ESBB. The front panel is the H601ESFB. The sensor sends the collected monitoring
information to the environment monitoring board for processing. The environment monitoring
board sends the monitoring information to the control board.
Monitoring Parameters
The UMG8900 can monitor digital and analog parameters.
Table 9-3 lists the digital parameters monitored.
The valid level refers to the signal level when the monitoring parameter is normal. The meanings
are as follows:
l 1: high level
l 0: low level

External Sensors
Each interface of the analog sensor contains five terminal blocks. See Figure 9-6.
Figure 9-6 Terminal blocks of the analog sensor
These terminal blocks are the five pins of each of the sockets JTA1 to JTA6 on the H301ESB/
H301ESIB. If the sensor adopts +12 V power supply, you need to connect terminal blocks to
the +12 V power end. If the sensor adopts +24 V power supply, connect terminal blocks to the
+24 V power end directly.
Figure 9-7 shows connections for the current analog sensor.
Figure 9-7 Connections for the current analog sensor
Figure 9-8 shows connections for the voltage analog sensor.

Figure 9-8 Connections for the voltage analog sensor
The H303ESC provides an 8-pin dial in-line package switch (DIP switch) S6. The first six bits
of S6 are used to indicate whether the external sensor is a voltage or current analog sensor. The
ON status is for the external current analog sensor, and OFF for the voltage sensor. Bits 1 to 6
indicate the types of sensors that connect to JTA1 to JTA6 respectively. For example, if bit 1 is
ON, it means JTA1 connects to an external current sensor. If bit 1 is OFF, it means JTA1 connects
to a voltage sensor. The rest may be deduced by analogy.
Each interface of the boolean value sensor contains four terminal blocks. See Figure 9-9.
Figure 9-9 Terminal blocks of the boolean value sensor
These terminal blocks are the four pins of each of the sockets JTD1 to JTD16 on the H301ESB/
H301ESIB. If the sensor adopts +12 V power supply, you need to connect terminal blocks to
the +12 V power end. If the sensor adopts +24 V power supply, connect terminal blocks to the
+24 V power end directly.
Connections for the current boolean value sensor. See Figure 9-10.

Figure 9-12 shows connections for the voltage boolean value sensor.
Figure 9-12 Connections for the voltage boolean value sensor
9.2.5 Equipment Room Environment Monitoring

This section describes the principles and methods of equipment room environment monitoring.
Power distribution boxes (PDBs) monitor the environment in the equipment room. The
environment monitoring function is optional. Figure 9-13 shows the principle of environment
monitoring in the equipment room.
Figure 9-13 Equipment room environment monitoring
In the DPD100-2-3D PDB, five Boolean value monitoring interfaces are configured to connect
with sensors such as temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and smoke sensor to monitor the
environment in the equipment room. The PDB also provides a water Boolean value interface to
connect with a water sensor. This sensor can be used based on actual environment conditions.
In the DPD100-2-20 PDB, four external Boolean value signal interfaces are configured to
connect with common Boolean value sensors (such as the door status sensor and smoke sensor)
and the water sensor.
In the DPD100-6-20 PDB, four external Boolean value signal interfaces are configured to
connect with common Boolean value sensors (such as the door status sensor and smoke sensor)
and the water sensor.

The report path of the environment condition in the equipment room is the same as that of the
PDB power supply status.

NOTE
l Minimum accuracy: the maximum magnitude of the frequency deviation from the nominal frequency
for a specified time period (20 years) in the absence of an external reference clock, namely, in the free-
running state.
l Maximum frequency offset: the maximum magnitude of the fractional frequency deviation for a
specified time period.
l Pull-in range: the highest frequency bandwidth of the input clock signals that can be locked.
l Maximum time interval error (MTIE): the largest peak-to-peak delay deviation of a tested clock against
a reference clock within a specified test period.
l The stratum-2A clock means that the specifications except the frequency accuracy, pull-in range, pull-
out range, and hold-in range comply with the G.812 and GR-1244-CORE standards.
l If the reference source is lost when the clock phase status is trace, the clock phase status changes to
holdover. In the holdover state, the clock precision is closely relative to the trace status before
switchover. The clock precision of the UMG8900 is not degraded in 48 hours after switchover.
Lower limits of maximum jitter and wander allowed is showed in Figure 10-1.
Figure 10-1 Lower limits of maximum jitter and wander allowed
Assume that the jitter frequency of an input signal is 1 kHz and its amplitude is more than 1.5
UI. If the UMG8900 works properly under this condition, this input signal meets the requirement.
NOTE
UI refers to the unit interval. The reciprocal of the digital signal frequency is one UI. For example, for a
2.048 Mbit/s signal, its time unit interval is 488 ns.
