Static discharge
Motorola equipment contains CMOS devices. These Metal Oxide

Semiconductor (MOS) devices are susceptible to damage from electrostatic
charge. See the section Devices sensitive to static in the preface of this manual
for further information.
68P02904W56-D
12 31 Jul 2006
Devices sensitive to static
Devices sensitive to static
Certain metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices embody in their design a thin layer of insulation that is
susceptible to damage from electrostatic charge. Such a charge applied to the leads of the device could
cause irreparable damage.
These charges can be built up on nylon overalls, by friction, by pushing the hands into high insulation
packing material or by use of unearthed soldering irons.
MOS devices are normally despatched from the manufacturers with the leads shorted together, for
example, by metal foil eyelets, wire strapping, or by inserting the leads into conductive plastic foam.
Provided the leads are shorted it is safe to handle the device.
Special handling techniques

In the event of one of these devices having to be replaced observe the following precautions when
handling the replacement:
• Always wear an earth strap which must be connected to the electrostatic point (ESP) on the
equipment.
• Leave the short circuit on the leads until the last moment. It may be necessary to replace the
conductive foam by a piece of wire to enable the device to be fitted.
• Do not wear outer clothing made of nylon or similar man made material. A cotton overall is
preferable.
• If possible work on an earthed metal surface. Wipe insulated plastic work surfaces with an
anti–static cloth before starting the operation.
• All metal tools should be used and when not in use they should be placed on an earthed
surface.
• Take care when removing components connected to electrostatic sensitive devices. These
components may be providing protection to the device.
When mounted onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), MOS devices are normally less susceptible to
electrostatic damage. However PCBs should be handled with care, preferably by their edges and not by
their tracks and pins, they should be transferred directly from their packing to the equipment (or the other
way around) and never left exposed on the workbench.

UBIU
The PSM Back Interface Unit (UBIU) is inserted at the back of the URCU. The UBIU provides external
ports for the URCU (network port, optical port and serial port) and identifies the H.110 bus clock drive.
The UBIU has two versions: KW33UBIU and KW34UBIU. The functions, interfaces, jumpers and DIP
switch setting of these two versions are slightly different.

UBIU
Functions
The UBIU board performs the following functions:

• Supports level conversion of the 2-port asynchronous serial port signals from the URCU and
provides physical interfaces to three asynchronous serial ports.
• Generates CT bus clock signal. It receives the 8K clock signal from the sub-board UFIU of
the URCU or from the reference clock interface and generates the H.110 8K/8M clock and
8K differential clock for the H.110 bus.
• Provides 155 Mbit/s optical port and 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s network port for URCU.
• Receives the 2 MHz differential clock signal from the UPIU and sends it to the UCKI. This
function is provided by KW34UBIU only.
Connection of KW33UBIU with other boards

Figure 4-1 shows the connection of the KW33UBIU board with other boards.
Figure 4-1 Connection of KW33UBIU
The KW33UBIU board operates in one of the following two modes:

• It obtains 8 kHz clock signals from the UFIU (the sub-board of URCU) and sends them to
the UEPI through an 8 kHz clock reference data bus. The UEPI then drives the operation of
the H.110 clock bus.
68P02904W56-D

• It obtains 8 kHz clock signals from the UFIU and directly drives the operation of the H.110
clock bus.
Connection of KW34UBIU with other boards

Figure 4-2 shows the connection of the KW34UBIU board with other boards.
Figure 4-2 Connection of KW34UBIU
The KW34UBIU operates in one of the following three modes:

• Mode 1: It obtains 8 kHz clock signals from the UFIU and sends them to the UEPI. The
UEPI then drives the operation of the H.110 clock bus.
• Mode 2: It obtains 8 kHz clock signals from the UFIU and directly drives the operation of
• Mode 3: It obtains 8 kHz clock signals, through its front panel, from the UCKI. Then after
performing phase-lock loop processing and logical frequency division on the signals, the
KW34UBIU directly drives the operation of the H.110 clock bus.
Through the 2 MHz clock bus on the backplane, the KW34UBIU also receives 2 MHz differential clock
signals from the UPIU. It then sends the signals to the UCKI to serve as the clock source for the whole
system.

UBIU
Figure 4-6 KW34UBIU board
The setting of KW34UBIU DIP switches determines the operational mode of the clock.
• Mode 1: When DIP switches 1 and 2 are set to ON, the KW34UBIU obtains 8 kHz clock
signal from the UFIU and sends it to the UEPI. The UEPI then drives the operation of the
H.110 clock bus.
• Mode 2: When DIP switch 1 is set to OFF and switch 2 is set to ON, the KW34UBIU
obtains 8 kHz clock signal from the UFIU and directly drives the operation of the H.110
clock bus.
• Mode 3: When DIP switches 1 and 2 are set to OFF, the KW34UBIU obtains 8 kHz clock
signal from the UCKI through the front panel. After performing phase-lock loop processing
and logical frequency division on the signal, the KW34UBIU directly drives the operation
of the H.110 clock bus.
• Mode 1 and Mode 2 are applicable for the KW34UBIU boards in the basic subrack
and extended subracks. Mode 3 applies to the KW34UBIU boards in the switching
subrack.
• The DIP switches 3 and 4 are reserved, and adopt default settings.
• The default state of the KW34UBIU DIP switches is ON.

The PSM Back Storage Unit (UBSU) board caches the system Call Detail Record (CDR) information. It is
located at the back of the Call Detail Record (UCDR) board. The UBSU and the UFSU boards have the
same structure except that you can configure the UBSU board with a hard disk that has an Integrated
Device Electronics (IDE) interface, unlike the UFSU configuration.
The UBSU board does not have any sub-board; therefore, there is no need to set the jumpers or DIP
switches.

UCDR
The Call Detail Record (UCDR) board implements functions such as collection, coding, transmission and
caching the Call Detail Record (CDR) for the C-SGSN.
The UCDR board has a sub-board and a back-board. The optical interface unit UFIU is mounted on the
UCDR to provide an ATM PVC channel from the UCDR to the UAIC sub-board in the PSM switching
subrack. The UBSU acts as the rear insertion board of the UCDR to hold the hard disk.
The number of UCDRs for the C-SGSN system configuration depends on the number of users. You must
configure the UCDR boards in pairs (one as active and the other as standby), in an even-number slot and
an odd-number slot respectively. The active or standby UCDRs provide heartbeat detection
communication using a 155 Mbit/s optical interface through the UAIC board in the PSM switching
subrack.
The UCDR does not directly connect with the bus; the URCU and UACU do not control the UCDR. The
UCDR uses only the physical slot and power supply in the PSM subrack. There is no direct
communication channel available between the UCDR and other boards except the UFIU and the UBSU.
Thus, the UCDR does not interact with other boards through the bus on the backplane.
68P02904W56-D

UCDR
Functions
The UCDR board performs the following functions:

• Collects the CDRs of the entire system.
• Encodes and transmits CDRs.
• Caches CDRs when it is not transmitted to the Charging Gateway (CG).
The UCDR board is connected to the UBSU using the internal serial ports and internal IDE interfaces, and
to the UFIU using the PCI bus. The UFIU connects to the PSM switching subrack using the optical
interface provided by UBSU.

UCKI
Functions
The UCKI provides:

• One RS-422 master/slave serial port for URCU maintenance and management.
• Four external reference clock source inputs in two types: 2 Mbit/s clock signals and 2 MHz
clock signals.
• Stable stratum-2 or stratum-3 synchronization clock signals for the system network.
• Sixteen 8 kHz outputs sent from the clock board through the twisted pair in the form of
RS-422 differential signals.
Figure 7-1 shows the connection of the UCKI board with other boards.
In the PSM switching subrack, the UBIU receives clock signals from the UCKI and synchronizes these
signals to the UPIU in this subrack through the internal clock bus.
The UPIU multiplexes the clock signals to the STM-1 fiber and sends the system synchronization clock to
each PSM service subrack. This guarantees the clock synchronization of the whole system.

UGBI
Functions
The UGBI board provides the following functions:

• Performs Gb interface signaling and data processing
• Performs resource management
• Performs the maintenance alarm function
• Supports Gb over IP
The UGBI can operate in either of the following modes:
• Gb over FR
In this mode, the UGBI is equipped with a UFEU that processes frame relay protocols. The
UGBI communicates with the back-board UEPI or UTPI through the interface provided by
the UFEU, and provides external E1/T1 interfaces through the back-board. The UGBI also
communicates with other boards (such as, other UGBIs and the USPUs) through the
communication bus on the backplane. Figure 16-1 shows the connection of the UGBI board
functioning in Gb over FR mode.
• Gb over IP
In this mode, no UFEU is mounted on the UGBI. The UGBI forwards Gb interface
messages through the UGFU. Figure 16-2 shows the connection of the UGBI board
functioning in Gb over IP mode.
In these two modes, you can equip the UGBI with a UEPC to encrypt and decrypt the LLC layer data on
the Gb interface.

UICP
The Iu-PS Control Processing Unit (UICP) board is configured in the 3G PSM switching or service
subrack. The number of the UICP boards that can be configured depends on the number of users. The 1+1
backup mode is used for the UICP.
The UICP does not have any sub-board; therefore, there is no need to set the jumpers or DIP switches.
• There are two types of UICP: Type A and Type B. If the silkscreen on the board
panel is UICP, the board is of Type A. If the silkscreen is UICPb, the board is of
Type B.
• The difference between Type A and Type B is that the Type B supports more

UICP
Functions
The UICP board performs the following functions:

• Processes Iu interface control plane signals
• Manages resources
• Supports Iu over STM
• Supports Iu over IP
The UICP operates in either of the following modes:
• Iu over STM
In this mode, the UICP works with the UFCU, UGFU and UPIU to support the Iu over
STM. The UPIU provides the external optical interfaces. Figure 19-1 shows the connection
of the UICP functioning in this mode.
• Iu over IP
In this mode, the UICP works with the USIG, UFCU, UGFU and UPIU to support the Iu
over IP. The external optical interfaces are provided by the UPIU. Figure 19-2 shows the
connection of the UICP functioning in this mode.

UOMU
The Packet Service Operation and Maintenance Unit (UOMU) provides interfaces for the operation and
maintenance of the entire C-SGSN system.
You can configure the UOMU board with a sub-board and a back-board:
• The UFIU is installed on the UOMU to provide an ATM PVC from the UOMU to the sub-
board of the UAIC in the PSM switching subrack.
• The UFSU is installed at the rear of the UOMU board to bear the UOMU hard disk. It
converts the level for the external optical port, Ethernet port and serial port, and provides
physical ports.
You can configure the C-SGSN system with two UOMU boards: active UOMU and standby UOMU. The
active UOMU establishes heartbeat communications with the standby UOMU using the RS232 serial port
(through UFSUs) or a 155 Mbit/s optical interface (through the UAIC).
The UOMU board is neither connected to the bus in the subrack nor does it function under the hot-plug
control of the URCU or UACU. It uses only the physical slot and power supply in the PSM subrack. There
is no direct communication channel available between the UOMU and other boards except the UFIU and
the UFSU. Therefore, the UOMU board cannot interact with other boards through the bus on the
backplane.

UOMU
Functions
The UOMU board performs the following functions:

• Configuration management, performance management, security management and log
management
• Query control
• User or signal tracing
The UOMU communicates with UFSU board, installed at the rear, through an internal interface, and with
external devices like other PSM subracks, LMT and alarm boxes, through the interfaces on the UFSU.

UPIU
Packet Interface Unit (UPIU) works as the back-board of the UGFU or UFCU. You can configure each
UGFU or UFCU with a UPIU which, in turn, has a number of sub-boards.
• As the back-board of the UGFU, the UPIU is mounted with various sub-boards to access the
physical Iu and Gn/Gp/Ga interfaces.
• As the back-board of the UFCU, the UPIU is mounted with the sub-board UAIC to access
optical ports between PSM subracks for connecting them.
Various sub-boards on UPIU are:
• UEEC: Installed on the UPIU to provide the 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet
electric interface.
• UEFC: Provides the 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet fiber interface.
• UAIC: The ATM interface card provides four STM-1 or two STM-4 ATM fiber interfaces.
• The UPIU has two sub-boards: upper and lower. The UEEC, UEFC and UAIC can
all work as the upper or lower sub-board of the UPIU.
• Pinch the UEEC, UEFC and UAIC on the UPIU to access the Iu and Gn/Gp/Ga
physical interface.
• Pinch the UAIC on the UPIU to connect various subracks.

WDMB
The WCDMA Power Distribution Monitor Board (WDMB) is configured in the power distribution box at
the top of the C-SGSN cabinet. It monitors the distribution and environment parameters, reports them to
the URCU using a serial port and issues an alarm when it detects any fault. Moreover, the WDMB power
distribution monitor board transfers other information and parameters while communicating with the
WMUX using the serial port.
Functions
The power distribution monitor board performs the following functions:
• Monitors the -48 V input power voltage for both channels.
• Monitors the lightning protection components in the event of any fault.
• Detects the board temperature.
• Detects the humidity condition for one board.
• Monitors eight distribution output switches.
• Monitors three channels of external Boolean detection.
• Assists in generating audio and visual alarms. It controls alarm indication using a set of
alarm indicators arranged in three rows and three columns.
• Provides two asynchronous communication serial ports.

Functions
The WCDMA Overvoltage Protection Transfer Board (WOTB) is configured in the power distribution
box at the top of the C-SGSN cabinet. Serving as the backplane of the WOPB, it functions mainly as
interfaces.
Interface description
Considering the flow direction, the interfaces that the WOTB uses for connection with the external cables
are of two types: input interface and output interface.
As shown in Figure 27-6, the board has five power input cables that are led from the back of the power
distribution box, -48 V1, -48 V2, BGND1, BGND2 and PGND. They are fixed to the board connectors
using OT terminals.
• The -48 V1 and -48 V2 are connected to J5 and J6.
• The BGND1 and BGND2 are integrated and connected to J7.
• The PGND is connected to J8.
• The OT terminals must be selected based on the sectional area of the cable conductor and
the diameter of the fixing bolt.
The board has two output channels. One channel is connected to the power input interface of the WDMB
in the power distribution box and the other channel is connected to the signal input interface of the
WDMB. Both the channels are connected to the WOTB using 4PIN connector.
Using the 4 PIN socket connector J9, the WOTB sends the lightning protection fault signal (if any) to the
WDMB. Table 27-6 gives the details of the J9 connector.
