l BTS3900L
l BTS3900A
l BTS3900AL
l DBS3900
l BTS3900C
The 3900 series base stations have the following cabinet types:
l BTS3900
l BTS3900L
l Advanced power module (APM30) series cabinets
l Radio frequency cabinet (RFC)
l Transmission cabinet (TMC) series cabinets
l Outdoor mini box (OMB)
l Battery backup cabinet (BBC)
l BTS3900AL
l TP48600A-H17B1
l BTS3012_SRAN cabinet
l BTS3012II_SRAN cabinet
l BTS3012AE_SRAN cabinet
l VIRTUAL cabinet
For details about the mapping between base station models and cabinet types, see section Table
2-1.
NOTE
VIRTUAL indicates a virtual cabinet. It can be an object in physical entity modeling, for example, a legacy
cabinet or a cabinet type not included in the existing cabinet types. It can also be an object when there is
no physical entity, for example, when a base station is installed in an open rack.

NOTE
(1) The BTS3900C is a type of distributed base station. The logical names of other cabinets used by the
BTS3900C are configured to the same as those of the DBS3900.
Table 2-4 BTS3900A and DBS3900 (including outdoor APM30H) cabinet numbering rules
2.2 Subrack
Subrack numbers range from 0 to 254. Numbers of entity subracks cannot be changed. Numbers
of extension subracks can be defined by users. Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 describe how subracks
are numbered.
Table 2-8 Subrack numbering rules for BTS3900 series base stations (including upgraded ones)
RRU 60 to 254 Entity subrack You are advised to comply with the
following rules when configuring
RRU subrack numbers:
l The RRU subrack numbers for
the same project must consistent
with each other.
l If a multimode RRU needs to be
configured in multiple modes, it
must be configured with the same
subrack number. Otherwise an
alarm is generated, indicating the
configuration conflict.
l The RRU subrack numbers are
numbered starting from the
lowest band that the RRUs
support. Some subrack numbers
need to be reserved for capacity
expansion. For example, in a
network using the RRU3926 of
900 MHz, RRU3929 of 1800
MHz, and RRU3806 of 2100
MHz, the subrack numbers are
assigned as follows: 60 to 69 are
assigned to the RRU3926s of 900
MHz, 70 to 79 are assigned to the
RRU3929s of 1800 MHz, and 80
to 89 are assigned to the
RRU3806s of 2100 MHz.
Table 2-9 Upgraded BTS3012 series base station subrack numbering rules
NOTE
BBU board in a BTS supports automatic or manual configuration. If a BBU board supports automatic
configuration, the configuration of the board automatically takes effect when the configuration of the
cabinet housing the board takes effect. If a BBU board supports manual configuration, the configuration
of the board takes effect only after the board is manually configured. In a BBU of a BTS, the GTMU, FAN,
and UPEU support automatic configuration, whereas other boards require manual configuration.
All boards installed in a BBU must be configured.
For more details about the BBU board configuration, see BBU3900 Hardware Description.
In multimode base stations, the configuration rules for cabinets, subracks, and common boards
in a BBU subrack are as follows:
l The primary mode in a multimode base station is listed in descending order of priority:
GSM, UMTS, and LTE.
l All cabinets and the following subracks must be configured in primary mode: BBU, primary
mode-dedicated RF, PMU, EMU, TCU, CCU, and FMU. Only BBU subracks containing
the main control boards for secondary modes, secondary mode-dedicated RF subracks, and
cabinets housing these subracks need to be configured in secondary modes.
l Cabinets and subracks configured in both primary and secondary modes must have
consistent cabinet and subrack numbers. Otherwise, parameter configuration conflict
alarms will be generated.
l In a BBU subrack, the UPEU, UEIU, and FAN can be configured in two modes, the UCIU
and UTRPc can be configured only in one mode, and the USCU can be configured in either
one mode or two modes.

l Configuring a single base station using MML commands
Run the ADD BTSBRD command to add boards to a GBTS cabinet.
Run the ADD BRD command to add boards to an eGBTS, NodeB, or eNodeB cabinet.
NOTE
l You can only change the virtual cabinet to other types of cabinets.
l If a cabinet to be modified contains non-BBU subracks, you cannot change the cabinet type.
l If a cabinet to be modified contains only BBU subracks and can house additional BBU subracks, you
can change the cabinet type. Otherwise, you cannot change the cabinet type.
l If a cabinet to be modified contains no subracks, you can change the cabinet type to any type.
Run the MOD SUBRACK command to modify the parameters related to eGBTSs, NodeBs,
eNodeBs, or Co-MPT base stations, as described in Table 5-8.
l Before modifying the working mode of the LBBP for the existing activated cell, ensure
that the eNodeB supports the modified working mode and that there are sufficient idle
resources (see the cell specifications of the LBBP). Otherwise, the cell cannot be activated.
l LBBPs in FDD mode support 1T1R, 1T2R, 2T2R, 2T4R, and 4T4R FDD cells.
l LBBPs in TDD mode support 1T1R, 2T2R, 4T4R, and 8T8R TDD cells.
l If an RRU chain/ring in load sharing mode is configured on LBBPs and the chain head and
tail belong to different LBBPs, the working mode of the LBBP cannot be modified.
l If the RRU/RFU cannot set up links or work at the maximum line rate after the LBBP is
blocked/unblocked, run the STR CPRILBRNEG command to manually initiate
negotiation.
l To block or unblock the LBBP, change the value of the ADMSTATE parameter in the
BLK BRD or UBL BRD command, respectively. After the board is blocked, ALM-26210
Board Blocked will be reported and the board will not provide services. After the board is
unblocked, the alarm will be cleared.
Modifying the Work Mode or Hardware Capacity Enhance parameter interrupts services on
the WBBP/LBBP. After the WBBP/LBBP resets, services on this board return to normal. If an
RRU chain is configured on any of optical ports 3 through 5 of an LBBP, the CPRIEX parameter
cannot be set to ON.
Deleting BBU Boards from eGBTSs, NodeBs, eNodeBs, or Co-MPT Base Stations
Run the RMV BRD command to delete a BBU board from eGBTSs, NodeBs, eNodeBs, or Co-
MPT base stations. Table 5-12 describes the related parameters.
Table 5-12 Parameters for deleting BBU boards from eGBTSs, NodeBs, eNodeBs, or Co-MPT
base stations
l In dual-mode scenarios, you can reset common devices at the peer end. Resetting common
devices at the peer end interrupts services on the common devices.
l In multi-mode base stations, resetting the GTMU, UMPT, WMPT, LMPT, and UTRP may
interrupt services on base stations of other modes.
Reset using this command consists of soft reset and power-off reset, which are specified by
corresponding parameters. If power-off reset is selected for a multi-mode base station, boards
in the BBUs of other modes are reset.
The boards that support soft reset are as follows: Ordinary boards
l GTMU
l UBRI
Resetting BBU Boards in Soft Reset Mode in GBTSs, NodeBs, eNodeBs, or Co-MPT
Base Stations
If a board has a fault that cannot be rectified, soft reset is required. Soft reset takes a relatively
short time.
NOTE
After the RST BRD command is executed, the BBU Board Maintenance Link Failure alarm and
the Board Startup event alarm are generated. Run the DSP BRD command to check the values
of AvailabilityStatus and OpState. If the value of AvailabilityStatus is Normal and the value
of OpState is Enabled, the board has started up properly and the fault has been rectified.
NOTE
After the RST BRDPWROFF command is executed, the BBU Board Maintenance Link Failure
alarm and the Board Startup event alarm are generated. Run the DSP BRD command to check
the values of AvailabilityStatus and OpState. If the value of AvailabilityStatus is Normal and
the value of OpState is Enabled, the board has started up properly and the fault has been rectified.
Step 2 Run the DSP BRDMFRINFO command to query the manufacturing information about a board
in eGBTSs, NodeBs, eNodeBs, or Co-MPT base stations.
