2.1 AMAC
Adaptive modulation and adaptive channel space (AMAC) is a technology that automatically
adjusts the working mode based on channel quality. AMAC includes the AM and AC
functions.
2.2 Automatic Transmit Power Control
Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is a method that uses received signal level (RSL)
of the receiver to adjust transmit power within the ATPC control range. This feature reduces
interference to neighboring systems and residual bit error rate (BER).
2.3 Power over Ethernet
The RTN 380H provides a P&E port through which the RTN 380H supports power over
Ethernet (PoE) as a powered device (PD).
2.4 Ethernet Service Processing Capability
OptiX RTN 380H can process Native Ethernet services.
2.5 QoS
RTN 380H supports quality of service (QoS) functions, including traffic classification, traffic
policing, congestion avoidance, queue scheduling, and traffic shaping.
2.6 CPRI
RTN 380H supports transparent transmission of common public radio interface (CPRI)
services.
2.7 Clock Features
RTN 380H's clock features meet clock transmission requirements of mobile communications
networks and offer a wide selection of clock protection mechanisms.
2.8 Protection
OptiX RTN 380H provides protection schemes for microwave links and Ethernet networks.
2.9 Network Management
RTN 380H supports multiple network management modes and provides comprehensive
management information exchange solutions.
2.1 AMAC
Adaptive modulation and adaptive channel space (AMAC) is a technology that automatically
adjusts the working mode based on channel quality. AMAC includes the AM and AC
functions.
AM
When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the radio service
bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme. The higher the modulation efficiency,
the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services. Under all channel conditions, the service
capacity varies according to the modulation scheme.
l When conditions for channel quality are favorable good (such as on sunny days), the
equipment uses a higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This
improves transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
l When conditions for channel quality are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days),
the equipment uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-priority
services are transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested due to a
lack of available bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded. This
method improves the anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures link
availability for high-priority services.
With quality of service (QoS) technology, Ethernet services are groomed to queues with
different priorities. Services in different queues are then transmitted to the microwave port
after the queue-scheduling algorithm has been run. 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.
The AM technology used by the RTN 380H has the following features:
l Uses BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM Strong, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM
modulation schemes.
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 shifting. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, low-priority
services are discarded while high-priority services are not affected. Shifting is successful
even when 100 dB/s channel fading occurs.
AC
AC is the enhancement of AM. If the lowest-order modulation scheme is set to BPSK, the
AM function downshifts the modulation scheme to BPSK when channel quality deteriorates.
Then, the AC function downshifts the channel spacing. The equipment uses the available
bandwidth to transmit high-priority services, reducing the impact of channel quality
deterioration on service signals.
l Channel spacing shifting is supported only when the modulation scheme downshifts to
the lowest-order modulation scheme BPSK.
l When conditions for channel quality are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days),
the equipment downshifts the channel spacing, which reduces the impact of channel
quality deterioration on service signals.
l AC features hitless shifting. When the channel spacing is downshifted, low-priority
services are discarded while high-priority services are not affected. Shifting is successful
even when 100 dB/s channel fading occurs.
NOTE
RTN 380H supports the following shift modes:
l When the channel bandwidth is 2000 MHz, RTN 380H supports AC downshifts from 2000 MHz to
1000 MHz, and from 1000 MHz to 500 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 1500 MHz, RTN 380H supports AC downshifts from 1500 MHz to
750 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 1000 MHz, RTN 380H supports AC downshifts from 1000 MHz to
500 MHz and from 500 MHz to 250 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 750 MHz, RTN 380H does not support AC downshifts.
l When the channel bandwidth is 500 MHz, RTN 380H supports AC downshifts from 500 MHz to
250 MHz.
AMAC Diagram
Figure 2-1 shows the step-by-step shifting of the modulation scheme and channel spacing
caused by weather changes and the impact of the shifting on service throughput and
reliability. In Figure 2-1, the guaranteed capacity modulation scheme is BPSK; the
modulation scheme of full AM capacity is 64QAM at the channel bandwidth of 500 MHz.

services.
l Supports software version rollback so that original system services are restored
in case of software upgrade failures.
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.
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.

When the RTN 380H transmits multiple channels of CPRI services, the actually required air
interface capacity is slightly higher than the total capacity required by all the CPRI services
because protection overhead bytes must be transmitted. Therefore, when the total air interface
capacity required by multiple channels of CPRI services is close to the planned capacity of a
microwave link, you can check whether CPRI services can be configured on the NMS to
determine whether the planned microwave working mode meets requirements.
NOTE
When multiple channels of CPRI services are transmitted, the total standard capacity of the CPRI
services cannot exceed 8 Gbit/s.
NOTE
In 16QAM Strong mode, the spectrum mask complies with ETSI EN 302 217-2-2 Class 3.

7 Accessories
For details about each model of PI, see the corresponding product description and installation
guide.
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 380Hs.
l In the receive direction, an optical splitter receives optical signals from the GE port of
the active RTN 380H. (The GE port of the standby RTN 380H 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 380H.
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.

7.3.1 Types
Hybrid couplers are available as balanced and unbalanced hybrid couplers.
and unbalanced hybrid couplers are described as follows:
l A balanced hybrid coupler splits one RF signal into two almost equivalent RF branch
signals.
l A unbalanced hybrid coupler splits one RF signal into two RF signals with different
power levels.
NOTE
The same attenuation also exists in the transmit direction as that in the receive direction.
7.3.3 Ports
A hybrid coupler has one antenna port, one main tributary port, and one extension tributary
port.

7.4 Antennas
Radio equipment uses antennas to emit and receive electromagnetic waves. RTN 380H
supports parabolic antennas and flat antennas. Parabolic antennas are also called dish
antennas.
7.4.1 Types
RTN 380H supports dish antennas and flat antennas.
Dish Antenna
Dish antennas are parabolic antennas. Figure 7-9 shows the appearance of a dish antenna.
Flat Antenna
Flat antennas are small in size but offers high efficiency. Figure 7-10 shows the appearance of
a flat antenna.

l Feeds
A feed receives RF signals from an RTN 380H 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 7-12 shows the polarization
directions that rectangular waveguides support.
Horizontal

polarization
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 penetrate to the reflector.
l Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets are used to attach antennas onto poles and help achieve fine elevation
and azimuth adjustments.

l Mounting bracket
The mounting bracket is used for securing the antenna onto the pole and for adjusting the
azimuth and elevation angles slightly.
Application Scenario
l For deployment and commissioning of an RTN 380H, scripts, and software are stored on
a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the RTN
380H downloads software, and scripts in sequence.
l For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 380H, 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 380H 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 380H automatically
downloads the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 380H replacement, an empty USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty
device, which 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.
3. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of
the local RTN 380H, the RTN 380H upgrades its software.
4. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from
that of the local RTN 380H, the RTN 380H loads the patch software from the folder.
5. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380H
imports system parameters from the folder.
6. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380H imports script
data from the folder.
7. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 380H loads the database from
the folder.
8. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 380H checks
the next folder. If the RTN 380H finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to
the USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.
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.
