UMPTe1, UMPTe2 GSM, UMTS, LTE(FDD), or LTE(TDD)
Local O&M Connection Based on UMPT
 The USB port with the USB silkscreen is used for the software
upgrade of a base station using a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
flash drive. This port also functions as a commissioning Ethernet
port
 An adapter is used for local maintenance connects the USB port

on the UMPT to an Ethernet cable during local maintenance
UBBP (Universal Baseband
Processing Unit )
 The UBBP can be configured in a BBU3900 or BBU3910.

 Mandatory maximum 6 boards, hold in slot 0, 1, 2, 3 (default),4, or 5.
 Function:
 Provides CPRI ports for communication with RF modules.
 Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
 Supports the multiplex of baseband resources among different modes,

thereby implementing multimode concurrency.

BBU3900 and the FANd can only be installed in
a BBU3910.
 Function:
 It dissipates heat from other boards in the BBU.
 It controls the speed of fans, monitors the

temperature of fans, and reports the status,
temperature and in-position signals of fans.

 Optional, Provides two ports with each transmitting one RS485 signal
 Provides two ports with each transmitting four Boolean signals. The Boolean signals can
only be dry contact or OC signals
 Transmits monitoring signals and alarm signals from external devices to the main control
board
Clock Synchronization Modes
 An eNodeB supports the following types of external clock sources:
 Global Positioning System (GPS) clock
 IEEE 1588 V2 clock
 1PPS+TOD clock
 PPS is short for pulse per second, and TOD is short for time of day.
 If an eNodeB fails to obtain clock signals, it works in free-run mode for a

certain period of time
