Atermux Atermux TC
The Atermux interface either directly to the BSC or via the MFS
In some configurations, the Gb interface between the SGSN and the MFS
pass through the TC.
The MT120 is the main functional unit. It provides the multirate transcoding
for up to 120 channels. This board has interfaces for one Atermux trunk
towards the BSC and up to four A trunks towards the MSC. There are
MT120 WB or MT120 NB depending on Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband
(AMR WB) and Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband (AMR NB) codec types.

1.2.2 Interfaces
1.2.2.1 External Interfaces
Atermux Interface
The 9125 TC is connected to the BSC or MFS via the Atermux interface. In
the case of a connection to the MFS, the Atermux interface possibly conveys
the Gb interface. If packet channels are present in the Atermux interface,
they go transparently through the TC.
This is TDM.
The 8 and 16 kbit/s HR, FR, EFR and AMR traffic channels conveyed on the
16 kbit/s bearer channels are processed in the MT120
Submultiplexing 4:1 but only TS0 transparency configurations is supported.
A Interface
The 9125 TC is connected to the MSC via the A interface. This is TDM.
O&M Interface
The BSC performs the O&M access via the Qmux bus, compatible with the G2
TC. This access is used for configuration and supervision of the TC board.
There is a 1+1 Qmux connection, operating in active/standby mode, per cluster
(see Figure 5 ) in the 9125 TC rack. These two Qmux connections are carried
on two 16 kbit/s channels conveyed by the first two Atermux links.
This is an interface to the IP network.
X.21 Interface
This interface is managed by the MT120 board and supports X.25 channels
used to interconnect the BSC with the OMC-R. One 64 kbits/s channel is
extracted from any Atermux interface and is transparently routed to the X.21
interface.
Interface to the IP network
For the IP interface, Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Base-T is used. The TC 9125
STM-1 includes a SNMP agent which is managed by the OMC.
TDM interfaces
For the TDM interface, the choice is:
E1 physical lines
The E1 physical interface is located on the MT120 boards.
E1 via STM-1/VC12
The SDH interface is located on a plug-onboard. To minimize the number of
STM-1 links to be connected, each E1 link can be mapped to any VC12
tributary on any STM-1 link (arbitrary mapping).
Forwarding the configuration information from the BSC to the other MT120
boards
Downloading the software from the TC NEM
Sending alarm information to the BSC via the MT120 board with a Qmux
connection
Communicating temperature measurements, power alarms and BSC
related information.
Clock Bus
Clock is not used.
External IP Links
External IP links are connected to the TC 9125 STM-1 boards.
1.2.3 Compatibility
The MT120 board is compatible with the G2 TC equipment practice and
interfaces. One MT120 board is equivalent to 13 boards in the G2 TC: 1
ASMC + 4 ATBX + 8 DT16.

The other MT120s store this information in their correspondence table. This
table is used for some O&M functions (e.g. fan supervision).
1.2.5 TC Cluster
A TC cluster is a group of up to six MT120 boards allocated to one BSC rack.
These boards are only masters in respect to the Qmux interface. They have
no other dedicated role in the rack.
The other MT120 boards of the cluster are attached to the masters during
installation phase.
The members of a cluster can be any MT120 board in the rack. This
simplifies extension and reduction.

Figure 5: TC Cluster
From B10 onwards, for a TC G2.5, all the MT120 from one cluster must be
configured in the same working mode: TCIL or HSI. HSI mode for MT120
boards can be configured only for a TC G2.5 with TCIF subrack. HSI mode
has two additional sub modes HSI2a and HSI2b, but from cluster point of
view there is no impact. MT120 boards from the same cluster can work in
HSI2a and HSI2b.
Seen from the BSC, a cluster is a logical G2 TC rack, a group of six Atermux
interfaces. The BSC supervises the related cluster and communicates with
the master. The master forwards the messages received from the BSC to the
other MT120 boards in the cluster via the TCIL bus.
The two MT120 boards configured as the masters need to know the relation
between the Qmux address of the MT120s in the cluster and the TEI.
Since any MT120 can be connected to the TC NEM, each MT120 maintains a
table containing this relation for all the installed MT120 boards. This table is
also called the correspondence table.
1.2.6 TC NEM
The TC NEM is a Personal Computer loaded with the TC NEM software
and connected to the 9125 TC via:
Adjustment of the phase of the blocks in the downlink direction for minimum
delay.
Discontinuous Transmission. This contains the Voice Activity Detection and
the comfort noise measurement in the downlink direction. In the uplink
direction it contains the comfort noise insertion and speech extrapolation.

The actions requested by the operator are performed through the TC NEM TC
rack by TC rack. However, at the operator interface, a global action on all TC
racks or on selected TC racks is provided and the TC NEM launches the actions
in parallel. The result to the operator is given TC rack by TC rack. The TC 9125
STM-1 can hold four different MT120 software versions at any one time.
The two other versions (V1 and V2) are stored onsite by the preload
mechanism in a non-protected area of the flash memory. V1 is the running
version and V2 is the previous version.
V2 when V1 is corrupted.
Without STM-1, any MT120 has a priority. The clock is taken from the
highest priority MT120.
With STM-1, the clock is taken from STM-1 or from physical E1. STM-1 has
priority. The TC 9125 STM-1 selects and distributes the clock.
BSC-ID
Atermux ID
Qmux config.
For all this data, the reference is the TC. The TC NEM gives values for these
parameters to the TC 9125 STM-1 through SNMP management. This data is
stocked in the internal TC 9125 STM-1 database. After the SNMP SET, the TC
9125 STM-1 passes this data to MT120 board(s) via the HSI and where it is
updated in the internal database. The values from the internal database are
provided during the next interrogation of these parameters from the TC NEM or
the OMC (the SNMP managers).
Rack number
For this data, the TC is the reference. The TC NEM gives values for these
parameters to the TC 9125 STM-1 through SNMP management. This data is
stocked in the internal TC 9125 STM-1 database.
SNMP messages are used between TC NEM and TC 9125 STM-1 board. The
current STM-1 configuration and the candidate STM-1 configuration are stored
in the TC MIB, accessible through SNMP.
The STM-1 configuration can be defined as:
’current’
’candidate’
’working’
The TC 9125 STM-1 only knows ’candidate’ and ’current’ STM-1 configurations.
The TC NEM displays the ’candidate’ and the ’current’ configurations, but also
offers/manages ’working’ files for configuration updates (these ’working’ files
are local to the TC NEM). A ’working’ STM-1 configuration file becomes the
’candidate’ configuration as soon as it is successfully downloaded on the TC
9125 STM-1 (on ’Set configuration’ operator trigger). The ’candidate’ STM-1
configuration becomes the ’current’ STM-1 configuration as soon as it is
successfully applied in the TC 9125 STM-1.
In the MT120, one alarm is reported (on ATR SBL) and the corresponding
channels are blocked in the MSC.
MT120 power on
During the power on, the configuration data and the alarms are not lost by
MT120. It performs the same actions as during the reset command.
MT120_autorestart_count
The MT120_autorestart_count is a counter used by MT120 in order to
trigger an MT120 autoreset instead of an MT120 autorestart when this
counter value reaches its maximum value. The counter is incremented after
each MT120 autorestart (successful autorestart or not), and is used only
during a window. When the autorestart window timer expires, the MT120
re-initialises the MT120_autorestart_count to 0 and restarts another window.
MT120_autoreset_count
The MT120_autoreset_count is a counter used by MT120 in order to stop
the MT120 indefinitely performing an autoreset which blocks the MT120
supervision (i.e. no alarms can be sent). The counter is incremented after
each MT120 autoreset (successful autorestart or not), and is used only
during a window. When the autoreset window timer expires, the MT120
re-initialises the MT120_autoreset_count to 0 and restarts another window.
STM-1 failures
The TC 9125 STM-1 board detects the STM-1 VC12 failures when physical
E1 failures are detected by the MT120.
Mate TC 9125 STM-1 reachability failure
The communication with the other TC 9125 STM-1 is impossible. This could
be due to internal cabling problems or to the fact that the other TC 9125
STM-1 board is dead or unplugged.
MT120 reachability
The communication between the TC 9125 STM-1 and the MT120 is done
through the HSI interface. Each TC 9125 STM-1 is connected to each
MT120 board.
There are two potential levels of loss of communication:
Loss of communication with one TC 9125 STM-1
Loss of communication with both TC 9125 STM-1.
For the loss of communication with one TC 9125 STM-1, there are
two possible cases:
Communication was lost to ACTIVE TC 9125 STM-1
Environmental failures
Power supply supervision
The power supply for 9125 TC IP is redundant. When the power supply fails,
all MT120 in 9125 TC IP will detect it. In order to reduce the number of
alarms sent to TC 9125 STM-1, only the active or inactive Qmux master
MT120 with lowest Atermux number for each BSC number, reports the
power supply alarm to TC 9125 STM-1.
Fan supervision
In 9125 TC IP, there are 6 fans per sub-rack and for each fan, only the
MT120 of the same sub-rack as the fan can access to its alarms by the
following rule:
Each MT120 with even number (2, 4, ..., 12) has access to the three
fans in the back panel
Each MT120 with odd number (1, 3, ...,11) has access to the three
fans in the front panel.
When MT120 detects a fan alarm, it sends it with a TC_FAUKT_INDICATION
to TC 9125 STM-1. In order to reduce the number of fans alarms sent to TC
9125 STM-1, only the active or inactive Qmux master MT120 with lowest
Atermux number for each BSC number reports the fans alarms of the
complete rack to TC 9125 STM-1.
MT120 autorestart
This autorestart must not impact the telecom of MT120 (no interruption of
traffic). During the autorestart, the configuration data and the alarms are
not lost by MT120.
MT120 autoreset
This autoreset must not impact the telecom of MT120 (no interruption of
traffic). During the autoreset, the configuration data and the alarms are
not lost by MT120.
Restart/reset command.
All these functions are centralized. When the TC NEM is connected to one
board, local functions can be performed on any board of the same rack.

2.2.2.11 Reset
The JATC4S1 can be reset by the mother board through the reset input.
2.2.2.12 JTAG
JATC4S1 mezzanine board has a JTAG interface for programming and test.
Two chains are available (a short chain for ISPPAC programming and a long
chain for boundary scan tests).
2.3 FANU
The 9125 TC is equipped with a forced-air cooling system. Each subrack
has three fan units (FANUs), situated below the MT120 boards. Each FANU
contains two fan blowers, controlled by the MT120 board.
Possibility of Overheating
Do not insert the FANUs if there are no MT120s in the same subrack to provide
them with power, otherwise they will restrict the airflow.
Ensure that:
The MT120s with even number are connected to the three fans in the
back panel
The MT120s with odd number are connected to the three fans in the front
panel
To extend the life of the fans and to keep the noise level to a minimum,
the speed of the fans is adjustable. Each MT120 board is equipped with a
temperature sensor. The MT120 measures its temperature and provides power
and digital speed control for the FANUs. This enables the temperature inside
the rack to be regulated more precisely.
Each of the MT120 boards controls the FANU of the same subrack. For cooling
efficiency, however, all the FANUs of the rack must have the same speed. Each
MT120 broadcasts the measured temperature to all other MT120 and the
speed depends on the highest measured temperature.
3 TC Configurations
3.1 Introduction
The 9125 TC can be used for:
New BSSs
The 9125 TC can be equipped with up to 48 MT120 boards. Each MT120 offers
an Atermux connection to a BSC and up to four A trunk connections to the
MSC. The 9125 TC rack has up to 192 A trunk connections to the MSC.
For Qmux continuity, all DTCs of a 9120 BSC rack must be connected to the
same 9125 TC rack. The same principle is used for the 9130 BSC Evolution
where each group of six Atermux interfaces must be connected at the same
TC rack. For redundancy purposes, a BSC must be connected to an 9125
TC via a minimum of two Atermux connections.

The filling granularity is one MT120 board, with a minimum of two boards
per occupied shelf. These must be in odd and even numbered slots to
power both sets of fans.
The BSC to MT120 connection information is only available via the TC NEM.
Each BSC rack must be connected to the same 9125 TC rack. For example
a BSC with configuration 4 (2 racks) can be split between 2 TC racks.
The figure below shows the simplest configuration (one TC rack connected to
several BSCs).

3.5 Extensions
3.5.1 9125 TC Extension
The extension of a BSC can require an additional 9125 TC rack. The figure
below shows an extension of BSC 2 from configuration 4 (2 racks) to
configuration 6 (3 racks). This requires a new 9125 TC rack if the first one
is completely filled.

3.5.2 G2 TC Extension
Once the G2 TC rack has reached its maximum capacity of 6 Atermux, any
further BSC extension will require a new 9125 TC rack. This additional rack
can be shared between different BSC extensions.
In the figure below, the first rack of BSC 1 is connected to a G2 TC rack, which
is extended with MT120 boards. A new 9125 TC rack is shared between the
extensions of BSC 1 (from 1 rack to 2 racks) and BSC 2 (from 2 racks to
3 racks).

The 9125 TC is cabled on a subrack basis. There is one PCM cable for transmit
and one for receive.
Additional cabling for capacity extension is possible without traffic interruption.
4.9.2.3 External Cables for STM1 and O&M Link
The external STM1 ports are used for the A and Atermux interface connections.
These ports are directly connected on the JBTCIF boards located on the
JSTCIP subrack. The JBTCIF boards support a maximum of four STM1 links.
The external Ethernet O&M ports are used for signalling and are connected on
RJ45 connectors located on the JSTCIP backpanel rear side.
The 9125 TC using the STM1 option is connected to the Alcatel-Lucent ODF
with multifiber cables (6 fibers per cable).
