1 Product Introduction
The OptiX RTN 320 (RTN 320 for short) is a full-outdoor dual-channel product in the OptiX
RTN radio transmission system series.
The RTN 320 provides such functions as service access, multiplexing, IF processing, and
system control and communication. The integrated ODU and extended ODU perform
frequency conversion and power amplification for signals.
1.2 Positioning
The RTN 320 is radio transmission equipment that provides transmission solutions for both
mobile communication networks and private networks.
The RTN 320 integrates all of its functions into a compact outdoor chassis that can be
mounted on a pole, thereby achieving zero footprint in terms of installation space. The RTN
320 can work with an extended ODU to provide two microwave directions. Therefore, the
RTN 320 helps lower network construction costs and operating expenses.
The RTN 320 supports flexible networking. RTN 320s can form ring or chain backhaul
networks for IP base stations.
The RTN 320 supports 4096QAM, 112 MHz channel spacing, XPIC, PLA/EPLA, MIMO,and
1+1 HSB/FD/SD. With such capabilities, the RTN 320 provides high-bandwidth backhaul
links for high-capacity 3G/LTE base stations.
On mobile communication networks, the RTN 320 can:
l Operate independently to form ring or chain backhaul networks to provide links with
high capacity, bandwidth, and reliability for 3G/LTE base stations. See Figure 1-2.
l Work with the ATN to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent
transmission on the IP radio access network (IP RAN). See Figure 1-3.
l Work with the RTN 380H housing MXXI5 boards to form a full-outdoor Super Dual
Band solution. With this solution, zero footprint as well as large-bandwidth and long-
distance mobile backhaul links can be provided. This solution applies to tail sites without
outdoor cabinets or equipment rooms. See Figure 1-4.

Item Specifications
This section describes only a 1+1 site provided by an RTN 320 independently. For the
description of a 1+1 site implemented by cascading RTN 320s, see 1.4.5 XPIC Site with 1+1
Protection.
Figure 1-9 illustrates the typical configurations of a 1+1 HSB site (direct mounting).
In this example, the RTN 320 provides protection for one channel of GE optical/electrical
service. In applications, the RTN 320 can provide protection for multiple channels of GE
optical/electrical services. These services are synchronously switched between the main and
standby channels based on the channel status.
Generally, PLA or EPLA is configured for the RTN 320s. In this manner, two microwave
links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, and load sharing or
protection is implemented for the microwave links.
Two service access modes are available for an XPIC site with 1+1 protection: optical splitter
mode and LAG mode.
Figure 1-11 XPIC site with 1+1 protection (optical splitter mode)
LAG Mode
Two RTN 320s configured with XPIC can work with an OptiX RTN 900 or an LACP-
supporting UNI-side device to implement 1+1 protection, which improves the reliability of
microwave links in each polarization direction. A GE cable is used as a 1+1 cascade cable to
connect GE ports of the main and standby RTN 320s. The main and standby RTN 320s
exchange protection protocol and DCN information over the 1+1 cascade cable. See Figure
1-12.
MIMO configurations are available in three types: intra-NE 2x2 MIMO, inter-NE 2x2 MIMO,
and 4x4 MIMO.
A 2x2 MIMO site configuration uses two single-polarized antennas with the same
polarization direction and provides two microwave links with the same polarization direction.
The RTN 320s or ODUs can be directly mounted on antennas or connected to antennas
through accessories (split mounting).
To form an inter-NE 2x2 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their
MIMO ports using two outdoor optical fibers of the same length. One fiber connects ports
MIMO1, and the other fiber connects ports MIMO2.
To form a 4x4 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their MIMO
ports and provide two microwave links in the vertical polarization direction and two
microwave links in the horizontal polarization direction.
To form a 4x4 MIMO site configuration, two RTN 320s are cascaded through their MIMO
ports using two outdoor optical fibers of the same length. One fiber connects ports MIMO1,
and the other fiber connects ports MIMO2.
Generally, RTN 320s at a MIMO site are configured in a PLA or an EPLA group. In this
manner, multiple microwave links are aggregated as a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet
channel, and load sharing or protection is implemented for the microwave links.
Three service access modes are available for a 3+0/4+0 site: single NE-based access mode,
optical splitter mode, and LAG mode.
A 3+0/4+0 site uses three or four frequencies without XPIC enabled and two frequencies with
XPIC enabled. In this example, four frequencies are used. If XPIC is enabled, ODU (1)
connects to an IF port on RTN 320 (2), and ODU (2) connects to an IF port on RTN 320 (1).
See Figure 1-16. Connections in optical splitter mode and LAG mode are the same as those in
single NE-based access mode.
LAG Mode
In this mode, an OptiX RTN 900 IDU or LACP-supporting UNI-side device provides service
access and is configured with a static LAG. The static LAG and the E-LAG configured on the
main and standby RTN 320s can cooperate to implement protection switching for both
equipment and access links. See Figure 1-19.
RTN 320 provides two microwave links and various functions and features. It provides high-
quality high-efficient microwave links for transmitting Ethernet service from base stations.
RTN 320 provides protection schemes for microwave links and Ethernet networks.
2.10 Network Management
RTN 320 supports multiple network management modes and provides comprehensive
management information exchange solutions.
2.11 Rapid Deployment
Various technologies are used to simplify RTN 320 installation deployment.
2.12 Easy Maintenance
RTN 320 supports contact-free maintenance, powerful equipment-level OAM functions, and
end-to-end TP-Assist.
2.13 Security Management
RTN 320 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
2.14 Anti-Theft Function
Device authentication is the process wherein the U2000 checks and authenticates a device
using a key to prevent any illegal device access.
2.15 Energy Saving
RTN 320 reduces the amount of energy consumed by using:
2.16 Environmental Protection
RTN 320 is designed to meet or exceed environmental protection requirements. The product
complies with restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) and waste from electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) directives.
With the QoS technology, ethernet services are scheduled to queues with different priorities.
The services in different queues are transmitted to the microwave port after running the queue
scheduling algorithm. When modulation scheme switching occurs, certain queues may be
congested due to insufficient capacity at the air interface. As a result, certain services or all
the services in these queues are discarded.
Adaptive Modulation
Figure 2-1 shows how the modulation scheme shifts step by step according to weather
changes and how modulation schemes affect service throughput and reliability. In this
example, the modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity is QPSK Strong and the
modulation scheme of full AM capacity is 256QAM.

Characteristics
The AM technology used by RTN 320 has the following characteristics:
l Supports the superhigh-order modulation schemes 2048QAM and 4096QAM in addition
to the normal modulation schemes from QPSK Strong to 1024QAM Light. The
difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes
lies in FEC encoding parameter settings. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error
correction capabilities, which mean higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface
bandwidth. Light modulation schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which
mean lower receiver sensitivity but higher air interface bandwidth.
l Can configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation
scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
l Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
l Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.
l Features hitless switching. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, high-priority
services are not affected while low-priority services are discarded. Switching is
successful even when 100 dB/s channel fast fading occurs.

P&E Principles
In P&E mode, an outdoor network cable carries Ethernet service signals along with DC power
signals. This eliminates the need for laying an extra power cable and therefore simplifies
installation.
An RTN 320 can work with a power injector (PI) to implement P&E through its P&E port.
See Figure 2-4.

Injecting

signal
Generally, the P&E supply distance depends on factors such as the powered device power
consumption, power sourcing equipment type, and the supply mode (forceful or negotiable
supply mode).
When an RTN power injector (PI) functions as the power sourcing equipment, it only couples
the GE signals and power signals, without regenerating or enhancing these signals. Therefore,
the length (L in Figure 2-5) of the network cable between the client-side device to the
powered device must not extend 100 meters.

Web LCT
After connecting to a local NE through WLAN, the Web LCT can be used to configure the
NE, and query NE alarms, and the Web LCT can also be used to query performance and logs,
facilitating commissioning and maintenance.
Function Description
l Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
l Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
l CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and
controlled to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets.
This ensures that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
l Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
with a public key, the device starts its anti-theft control function. The function stayed enabled
until the NMS uses its private key to unlock the device.
Anti-Theft Mechanism
l When data communication network (DCN) is available, you can manage the device anti-
theft function (that is, enable or disable the function) in an online manner by using the
U2000.
l When DCN is unavailable, you can manage the device anti-theft function (for example,
configure the warehouse-device anti-theft function) in an offline manner by using the
web LCT.
l For the main devices, two anti-theft measures are available: disallowing any
modification to the device configurations and restricting the air-interface bandwidth to 7
Mbit/s.
– After being stolen, a main device can continue to function for 7 days (the duration
can be specified to another value) and then its air-interface bandwidth will be
restricted to 7 Mbit/s, with DCN communication still available.
– After becoming unreachable to the U2000, a main device can continue to function
for 7 days, and then its air-interface bandwidth will be restricted to 7 Mbit/s. Once
its DCN communication recovers, its services automatically recover.
l Once an ODU is stolen, its services will be interrupted for half an hour every 8 hours,
and its DCN communication is available when its services are not interrupted.
NOTE
l A device private key cannot be exported from the U2000, thereby ensuring the safety of the device
anti-theft function.
l Before deploying the device anti-theft function, ensure that two sets of U2000 are deployed at two
different places for mutual backup. If only one set of U2000 is deployed, all the devices will enter
the "stolen" state once the U2000 fails, interrupting all the services on the network.
l RTN 320 complies with compulsory packing restrictions that limit the size of the
package containing the equipment and accessories to three times that of the equipment
dimensions.
l The product is designed for easy unpacking. In addition, all hazardous substances
contained in the package can decompose quickly.
l Every plastic component that weighs over 25 g is labeled according to the standards of
ISO 11469 and ISO 1043-1 to ISO 1043-4. All components and packages of the
equipment are provided with standard labels for recycling.
l Plugs and connectors are easy to find and can be operated using standard tools.
l All the accompanying materials (such as labels) are easy to remove. Certain types of
identifying information (such as silkscreens) are printed on the chassis.

l When the extended ODU uses FCC 30/40/50 MHz, the integrated ODU can operate only in IS3
mode.
l The integrated ODU operating at the 11 GHz frequency band supports FCC 30/40 MHz, the
integrated ODU operating at the 18/23GHz frequency band supports FCC30/40/50 MHz. In this
version, the integrated ODU operating at any other frequency band does not support FCC channel
spacings.
l For the highest–order modulation scheme supported by each frequency band, see 6.1.1.3
Microwave Working Modes and Service Capacities (IS3 Mode) (FCC).
6.1.1.2 Microwave Working Modes and Service Capacities (IS3 Mode) (ETSI)
This section lists the microwave working modes and service capacities supported by the RTN
320 running in IS3 mode.
NOTE
l The ODU integrated in the RTN 320 and the extended XMC-3 ODU operating at the same
frequency band support the same microwave working modes (ETSI). This section uses the extended
ODU as an example to describe microwave working modes (ETSI).
l In a description of models of XMC-2 ODUs, the frequency band 10 GHz is used to represent the 10
GHz and 10.5 GHz frequency bands.
l 7/8 GHz XMC-2 ODUs are available in two versions: normal and XMC-2E. Only 8 GHz XMC-2
ODUs of the XMC-2E version support the T/R spacing 310 MHz.

l L2 frame header compression enabled: untagged Ethernet frames with a length from 64 bytes

l L2+L3 frame header compression (IPv6) enabled: tagged Ethernet frames with a length from

l The difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in
FEC encoding parameters. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction capabilities,
which result in higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light modulation
schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which result in lower receiver sensitivity but
higher air interface bandwidth.
6.1.1.3 Microwave Working Modes and Service Capacities (IS3 Mode) (FCC)
This section lists the microwave working modes of the RTN 320 when FCC 30/40/50 MHz
channel spacings are used. Both integrated ODUs and extended ODUs support the IS3 mode.
When extended ODUs of the integrated RTN 320 use FCC channel spacings, they support
only the IS3 mode. Integrated ODUs support both the IS6 and IS3 modes. Therefore, when
extended ODUs use FCC channel spacings, two channels must be configured to work in IS3
mode.

l The difference between strong/light modulation schemes and normal modulation schemes lies in
FEC encoding parameter settings. Strong modulation schemes have stronger error correction
capabilities, which mean higher receiver sensitivity but lower air interface bandwidth. Light
modulation schemes have poorer error correction capabilities, which mean lower receiver sensitivity
but higher air interface bandwidth.
NOTE
When the same frequency band applies, the microwave working mode supported by the integrated ODU
of the integrated RTN 320 is consistent with that supported by the extended XMC-3 ODU. This
document uses an extended ODU as an example to describe the microwave working mode (ETSI) of the
RTN 320.
NOTE
When running in IS6 mode, RTN 320 can work only with RTN XMC-3 ODUs. RTN XMC-3 ODUs
support eleven frequency bands: 7 GHz to 38 GHz.

Instead of the upper/lower limits of the central frequency of channels, the upper/lower limits of the
frequency that carries the TX signals are described as follows to indicate the scope of frequencies
supported by the RTN 320. The lowest central frequency of channels is higher than the lower limit
frequency by half of the channel spacing. The highest central frequency of channels is lower than the
upper limit frequency by half of the channel spacing.

l In the transmit direction, an optical splitter evenly splits one channel of GE optical
signals into two channels and sends them to the active and standby RTN 320s.
l In the receive direction, an optical splitter receives optical signals from the GE port of
the active RTN 320. (The GE port of the standby RTN 320 does not transmit optical
signals.)
Installation Modes
An optical splitter can be installed on:
l An outdoor wall
l A pole with a diameter ranging from 30 mm to 120 mm
l A tower
7.2.2 Ports
The ports of an optical splitter are located in the fiber distribution area of the optical splitter.
NOTE
Normally, an optical splitter does not need to be grounded when working with RTN 320.
Ports
The three ports in the fiber distribution area connect the optical splitting module and
equipment. The number and label on each fiber indicate the connection relationship. For
details, see Figure 7-5.
The fiber adapters for connecting pigtails in the fiber distribution area provide the anti-
misinsertion function. Install pigtails based on the labels attached to them.
7.2.3 Labels
There are three labels on the fiber access terminal of an optical splitter: fiber access terminal
label, optical splitting module label, and ground point label.

7.5 Antennas
Radio equipment uses parabolic antennas to emit and receive electromagnetic waves. The
antennas that are described in this document are parabolic antennas compatible with RTN
320s.
7.5.1 Types
Antennas are classified into single-polarized antennas and dual-polarized antennas.
Figure 7-13 Feed of a single-polarized antenna with a diameter of 1.8 meters or less
Figure 7-14 Feed of a single-polarized antenna with a diameter more than 1.8 meters
l In the receive direction, antennas receive electromagnetic waves from free space, convert
these waves into RF signals, and transmit the RF signals to RTN 320s.
NOTE
This section considers a single-polarized antenna as an example. A dual-polarized antenna has two feed
ports and can concurrently transmit electromagnetic waves in both the vertical and horizontal
polarization directions. The working principles of each component of a dual-polarized antenna are
almost the same as those of its counterpart of a single-polarized antenna.

l Feeds
A feed receives RF signals from an RTN 320 at its input port and transmits those signals
to its output port through its waveguide. Located at the focal spot of the reflector, the
output port of the feed is equivalent to a double reflector antenna and emits
electromagnetic waves towards the reflector.
You can rotate the feed to change the polarization direction of an antenna. Here,
polarization direction refers to the polarization direction of emitted electromagnetic
waves or the direction of an electrical field. Figure 7-18 shows the polarization
directions that rectangular waveguides support.
NOTE
Antennas must have the same polarization directions as their connected RTN 320s or hybrid
couplers. Antennas of certain types use feeds with round waveguides. To adjust the polarization
directions of these antennas, follow their installation instructions and check their polarization
marks.

l Reflectors
Generally taking the form of rotatable paraboloids, antenna reflectors reflect
electromagnetic waves and increase directive gain.
– In the transmit direction, reflectors reflect the electromagnetic waves emitted from
feeds so the reflected electromagnetic waves are directional.
– In the receive direction, reflectors focus the electromagnetic waves from free space
to feeds' output ports.
l Radomes
Radomes protect antennas from being damaged by wind, rain, snow, or ice. Radomes do
not prevent electromagnetic waves from penetrating to the reflector.
l Shields
Shields are installed on high-performance antennas and help prevent side-lobe radiation.
l Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets are used to attach antennas onto poles and help achieve fine elevation
and azimuth adjustments. Large antennas generally require reinforcing rods in addition
to mounting brackets. For details, see specific antenna documentation.
NOTE
This section provides the antenna diameters corresponding to certain frequency bands supported by the
ODU integrated in the RTN 320. For the antenna diameters corresponding to all frequency bands
supported by the extended ODU, see RTN XMC ODU Hardware Description.
Table 7-9 to Table 7-11 list diameters that antennas of different types support. "Yes" indicates
that the corresponding antenna diameter is supported. "NA" indicates that the corresponding
antenna diameter is not supported.

Application Scenario
l For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 320, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the
RTN 320 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 320 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 320 replacement, a USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device. After
authenticating the USB flash drive, the faulty device automatically backs up its data to
the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the drive holding the backup data is
inserted into the new device, which automatically downloads the backup NE data,
software, and system parameters and restores the NE data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
NOTE
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
l The root directory stores an RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file and a USBSEC.CFG
file (security policy file).
NOTE
NOTICE
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep
the folder empty.
NOTE
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.

NOTE
l Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover
cables is with regard to their pin assignments.
l Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 320 to common
Ethernet equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X
modes. If RTN 320 connects to power sourcing equipment through a P&E port, pin assignments for
power signals output from the power sourcing equipment determines whether to use straight-through
cables or crossover cables.
l When P&E is used, the network cable transmits both power supply and Ethernet signals. The
Ethernet cable's inter-wire impedance difference must be within 50%; otherwise, Ethernet packets
may be lost.

Technical Specifications
Optical fibers for GE optical ports are available in 10 lengths, ranging from 10 meters to 150
meters. Generally, a 2-meter fiber is used to connect the cascading ports in a cascading 1+1
protection group or an EPLA group. You can use optical fibers of appropriate lengths if the
lengths cannot meet onsite requirements.
Cable Diagram
A power cable is terminated with a tool-less connector with a puller at one end and is not
terminated at the other end. A terminal needs to be made for the other end onsite based on the
port requirements of the power distribution device. See the following figure.
NOTE
Power cables with a 2.5 mm2 cross-sectional area can extend for a maximum distance of 140 m. Power
cables with a 3.3 mm2 cross-sectional area can extend for a maximum distance of 213 m. Power cables
with a 4 mm2 cross-sectional area can extend for a maximum distance of 256 m.
