1 Overview of the UMG8900
About This Chapter
This chapter first describes the current situation and development of the mobile network.
Then it gives the network positions and applications of the UMG8900 in Huawei solutions for
the mobile network
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.
Title Description
1.1 Current Network Situation Describes the current situation of the mobile networks
1.2 Product Orientation of the
UMG8900
Describes the product orientation of the UMG8900
1.3 Network Solutions Describes the network solutions

Product Description


1.1 Current Network Situation
The current global system for mobile communications (GSM-R) network adopts the
traditional transmission technology of Time division multiplexing (TDM). Network elements
connect with each other in the star topology and network elements with different functions
connect with each other in the hierarchical topology. The network topology is complex.
In addition, because TDM transmission devices are relatively complex, the cost for network
construction and maintenance is high.
The development of the IP network makes it an inevitable choice for network evolution to
provide integrated voice, data and video services based on the IP packet technology.
During the evolution from the GSM-R network, the packet transmission technology will be
introduced gradually. The final aim is to evolve to the all-IP network.
The current GSM-R network must introduce the packet transmission technology based on IP
during such evolution processes as network expansion, upgrade and device replacement. On
one hand, it meets the trend of network evolution. On the other hand, because the IP network
technology is simple and universal, it can reduce the cost for network construction and
operation effectively.
The UMG8900 is designed based on the softswitch architecture. The UMG8900 networks
with Huawei MSC server under the separated architecture. This networking completely
supports various narrowband voice and data services of the current GSM-R network. In
addition, the IP packet transmission technology is introduced to meet smooth evolution from
the TDM to IP packet network.
1.2 Product Orientation of the UMG8900
The UMG8900 converts service bearers, enables interworking between bearers and processes
service stream formats. The UMG8900 is a core network device in Huawei GSM-R solutions.
It can help operators to build a communication network that is low cost, profitable and
future-oriented.
The UMG8900 has powerful networking functions and provides abundant services. It can
serve as various functional entities to meet the networking requirements of operators.
The UMG8900 is oriented as:
Service bearer device in a local exchange in the GSM-R network
Service bearer device in a tandem/toll exchange in the GSM-R network
Service bearer device in a gateway exchange in the GSM-R network
Visited mobile switching center (VMSC), tandem mobile switching center (TMSC) or
gateway mobile switching center (GMSC) together with Huawei MSC server in the
GSM network, supporting the integration of these functions
The UMG8900 can network with the MSC server of Huawei to support various basic,
supplementary, and value-added services in the traditional GSM-R network. In addition, as
the UMG8900 is based on the separated architecture, it is easy and quick to introduce new
services.

Product Description


1.3 Network Solutions
Based on the requirements and network characteristics of different operators, Huawei
provides maintainable, operable and manageable customized network solutions. The solutions
lay a foundation for network operators to obtain more profits.
Huawei GSM-R network solution based on the softswitch architecture is shown in Figure 1-1.

PSTN: public switched telephone network

In the GSM-R network, the mobile switching center (MSC) in the core network can be
divided into the VMSC, TMSC and GMSC based on different network positions. Thus, it can
realize the hierarchy of the network.
The UMG8900 can network with the MSC server to serve as a VMSC/TMSC/GMSC in the
GSM-R network.
Because the UMG8900 is based on the standard softswitch architecture, one UMG8900 can
network with one MSC server. At the same time, multiple UMG8900s can accept the
management and control of one MSC server to build a big local network.
The UMG8900 and MSC server can be placed in one equipment room. They can also be
placed in different equipment rooms and connect with each other through the IP bearer
network. The UMG8900 is placed near the access network to build a big local network. Thus,
it can reduce switching paths of user data and improve service quality effectively.
The centralized network management system iManager M2000 of Huawei can implement the
centralized management and maintenance on all the network elements in the network.

Product Description


1.4 Network Evolution
The evolution process of the GSM network is GSM general packet radio service system
(GPRS) UMTS R99 UMTS R4 UMTS R5 UMTS R6, and finally to an all-IP
packet network where the core networks of the mobile and fixed networks are integrated to
achieve integrated service access.
The typical characteristics at each phase are shown in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1 GSM network evolution
Phase Characteristics
GSM The air interfaces adopt the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time
division multiple access (TDMA) modes. All the transport networks adopt the
TDM mode and comply with GSM series of specifications. The core network
adopts the hierarchical architecture. The network connections are complex and
the end-to-end delay is very low.
GPRS Two physical entities, namely, gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) and serving
GPRS support node (SGSN), are overlaid on the current GSM network. The air
interfaces in the access network have no change. Packet service processing
interfaces are added to base station controllers (BSCs).
UMTS
R99
The air interfaces adopt the CDMA mode. The transmission between access
networks and between access networks and the core network is based on the
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). The architecture of the core network has no
change. The UMTS R99 network complies with relevant 3GPP R99 standards.
The core network is divided into the CS and PS domains. The CS domain
provides voice and narrowband data services. The PS domain provides
high-speed packet services. The CS domain is based on the TDM mode, which is
the same as that in the GSM network.
UMTS
R4
The access network is the same as that in the R99. The softswitch architecture is
introduced to the CS domain of the core network. The original MSC breaks up
into two entities, the MSC Server and MGW. The core network supports
TDM/ATM/IP connections. The network evolves toward a flattened architecture
and the networking is more flexible.
The PS domain of the core network is the same as that in the R99.
UMTS
R5
Based on the R4, the IMS domain is introduced. The UMTS R5 network achieves
the integrated access of voice, data and video services and provides IP
multimedia services.
The R4 CS domain is retained to provide voice and narrowband data services.
UMTS
R6
The IMS domain is enhanced to achieve the interworking with current different
networks and the interworking between different IMS domains.

2.1.3 Powerful Cascading Functions
The SSM-256 frames and SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900 support the multi-frame
cascading function. The two hardware platforms can cascade independently or with each other,
as described below respectively.

Product Description


SSM-256 Self-Cascading
The SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900 support multi-frame cascading, either
self-cascading or mixed cascading. The following describes these two kinds of cascading
respectively.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the UMG8900 supports up to nine frames. The
SSM-256 frame supports two types of cascading boards as follows:
TNU (MTNU/TCLU), FLU (UG01FLU), and BLU (UG01BLU)
This type of boards supports 3 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. The MTNUs are
configured in the main control frame in the single-frame networking or in the central
switching frame ( 2 frames). The TCLUs are configured in a service frame.
TNU (MTNB), FLU (UG02FLU), and BLU (UG02BLU.A and UG02BLU.C)
This type of boards supports 4 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. When the MTNBs
are used, both types of frames adopt the MTNBs.
The SSM-256 frames can adopt three self-cascading modes, as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 SSM-256 self-cascading modes
Cascading
Mode
Major Board Remarks
Mode 1 The MTNB is
used as the
TDM
switching and
cascading
board.
Except the control frame, other frames use the MTNBs to
provide four 8 K TDM cascading channels between
frames.
In this mode, the cascading board uses the BLU/FLU that
provides four 8 K TDM cascading channels.
Mode 2 The MTNU
and TCLU are
used as the
TDM
switching and
cascading
boards.
The central switching frame is configured with the MTNU.
The main control frame and service frames are configured
with the TCLU. The control frame requires no
configuration of cascading board. There are three 8 K
TDM cascading channels between frames.
In this mode, the cascading board uses the BLU/FLU that
provides three 8 K TDM cascading channels.
Mode 3 The MTNU
and MTNB
are used as the
TDM
switching and
cascading
boards.
The central switching frame is configured with the MTNU.
The central switching frame can be configured with the
BLU/FLU that provides four 8 K TDM cascading channels
to cascade with a service frame that is configured with the
MTNB.
The central switching frame can be configured with the
BLU/FLU that provides three 8 K TDM cascading
channels to cascade with a service that is configured with
the TCLU.

Product Description


Among the above three modes, modes 1 and 2 mainly apply to new offices and mode 3 mainly applies to
the expansion where the MTNB is added based on the original configuration of the MTNU. The three
cascading modes are the same except the cascading boards and the capacities of TDM cascading
channels between frames.
Take the TNU (MTNB) and the BLU/FLU that provides 4 x 8 K TDM cascading channels as
an example. The nine-frame cascading is shown in Figure 2-1.

Mode 2 differs from mode 1 in the main control frame. In mode 1, the main control frame
provides the service and device management functions. In mode 2, the main control frame
provides the device management and cascading functions. That is, in mode 2, cascading
boards are inserted in the main control frame to connect with service frames.
The CLK in the main control frame can be configured in the central switching frame
numbered 0. In this case, the central switching frame does not provide the cascading function
and can hold service boards to process services.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the independent CLK must be configured. Through
clock distribution cables, the CLK provides clock signals for the SSM-256 frame where no
CLK is configured.
SSM-32 Self-Cascading
When SSM-32 frames self-cascade independently, the UMG8900 supports up to three frame.

Product Description


Suppose the UG02TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading is shown in Figure
2-3.

The cascading mode between frames is 2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. If the UG01TNC is
configured in the frame, the cascading mode between frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE.
The NLU must be configured to implement GE cascading. The NLU can be configured in
back slot 4/5 or 10/11 only.
SSM-256 and SSM-32 Mixed Cascading
In the case of the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading, the central switching frame uses an
SSM-256 frame, and the main control frame and service frames can use SSM-32 or SSM-256
frames. If no GE cascading is required, the system supports the cascading mode of 1
SSM-256 frame + 28 SSM-32 frames or the cascading mode of 1 SSM-256 frame + n
SSM-256 frames + (7 n) 4 SSM-32 frames. Here, n 7.
In the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode, the cascading between SSM-256 frames
is the same as the SSM-256 self-cascading. Following is the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed
cascading when an SSM-256 frame acts as the central switching frame.
If the UG02TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the SSM-256 frame can cascade the
SSM-32 frame in two modes. In one mode, the SSM-256 frame cascade the SSM-32 frame
through the NET and the TNB, as shown in Figure 2-4.

In mode 1, an SSM-256 frame serves as the central switching frame. In the SSM-256 frame,
the physical board of the TNU is the MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the physical board of the
TNU is the MTNC.
The cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is
2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The TNB provides the TDM cascading channel. The TNC and
the NET provide the FE cascading channel. The NLU and the NET provide the GE cascading
channel. If the UG01TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between
frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE.

Product Description


The SSM-256 frame can also cascade the SSM-32 frame through the BLU, as shown in
Figure 2-5.

The physical board of the FLU/BLU is the BLU supporting 4 x 8 K TDM cascading. The
cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is 2 x
TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The BLU in the SSM-256 frame provides the TDM/GE/FE
cascading channel. The TNC in the SSM-32 frame provides the TDM/FE cascading channel.
The NLU in the SSM-32 frame provides the GE cascading channel. If the UG01TNC is
configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE +
1 x GE.
In the actual networking application, the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode can
work with the preceding two cascading modes. That is, the central switching frame cascade
with the main control frame through the NET, and cascade with the SSM-32 service frame
through the BLU.
If no GE cascading is required, an SSM-256 frame can cascade 28 SSM-32 frames. In the
case of E1-only networking, the 2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE cascading mode is usually
adopted, and an SSM-256 frame can cascade 14 SSM-32 frames. In the case of STM-1-only
networking, the 4 x TDM + 1 x FE + 2 x GE cascading mode is usually adopted, and an
SSM-256 frame can cascade 7 SSM-32 frames.

2.1.5 High Clock Precision
The UMG8900 uses the independent CLK boards or clock subboards to provide clock signals
required by the system. The CLK boards work in the master/slave mode to ensure the reliable
running of the clock system. The clock subboards are configured on the master and slave
TNU boards, whose physical boards are the MTNC. The clock subboards work in the
master/slave mode too.
The UMG8900 can access 8-kHz line clock, 2048-kHz, 1554-kbit/s or 2048-kbit/s building
integrated timing supply system (BITS) clock, 64-kHz external clock and global positioning
system (GPS)/global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) clock. The UMG8900 allows
you to set the priorities of clocks. Thus, the UMG8900 can select the clock of the highest
priority through the synchronization status message (SSM) of clock.

Product Description


The UMG8900 supports stratum-2 A and stratum-3 clocks. When the clock subboards are
used, the UMG8900 supports stratum-3 clock only. Thus, the UMG8900 can meet clock
requirements in different networking applications.
2.2 Service Features
2.2.1 Powerful Service Processing Ability
The UMG8900 acts as a bearer device for voice and narrowband data services in the mobile
core network. It transmits service streams and converts formats of service streams within the
mobile network and between the mobile and fixed networks. For two networks that fully
adopt the IP transmission technology, service interworking between the IP networks can be
realized by means of domains.
The UMG8900 provides the service bearer processing function and service stream format
conversion function. By networking with the MSC server, the UMG8900 provides basic,
supplementary and intelligent network (IN) services.
The UMG8900 supports the following service functions:
G.711A/G.711/G.723.1/G.726/G.729/adaptive multirate (AMR)/AMR2/WB-AMR voice
codecs, full rate (FR)/half rate (HR)/enhanced full rate (EFR) voice codecs in the GSM
network, and G.711A/G.711/G.723.1/G.726/G.729/WB-AMR voice codecs based on IP
transmission
Voice quality assurance technologies such as acoustic and electric echo cancellation (EC),
voice activity detection (VAD), background noise suppression, comfort noise generation
(CNG), automatic gain control (AGC), and packet loss concealment (PLC)
Detection and generation of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals
Various quality of service (QoS) assurance methods such as the setting of voice and data
service priorities, dynamic jitter buffer (JB), IP type of service (ToS), differentiated
service code point (DSCP), 802.1P/Q and virtual local area network (VLAN) priority
Announcement playing, digit collecting and sending, dynamic loading of tone files,
intelligent announcement playing in different countries and areas with different tone files
loaded, and working with the NMS for centralized management of tone files
Inter-working function (IWF) through an attached shared IWF (SIWF), including fax,
synchronous data bearer, asynchronous data bearer
Embedded signaling gateway (SG) function, through which the UMG8900 can adapt and
forward the signaling of the access network or PSTN to the signaling of the packet core
network based on Message Transfer Part layer 2 (MTP2) User Adaptation
(M2UA)/Message Transfer Part layer 3 (MTP3) User Adaptation (M3UA)/Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-User Adaptation layer (IUA) to reduce the
complexity of networking
Adaptation and termination of R2 channel associated signaling (CAS)
Dual-homing function, which enables the UMG8900 to switch to the slave MSC server
automatically without interrupting services when the master MSC server fails
Digital trunk services and flexible digital trunk networking by networking with the
GTSOFTX3000 and the GSM-R
IP-based A interface
Both the BSS and NSS adopt the IP packet transmission technology to construct an all-IP
network. Thus, the BSS and NSS may share the IP bearer network.

Product Description


SCTP multi-homing
Multiple IP addresses in one SCTP association are supported by both ends. Thus, the
end-to-end multi-path transmission mechanism is realized, which is more reliable for the
upper layer subscribers.
Upgrade without service interruption
The upgrade of the UMG8900 does not affect the services.
File transmission from the version server to the BAM of the UMG8900 through Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Time localization function
You can set the time based on the time zone where the UMG8900 is located, and set the
daylight saving time.
Open Mc interface, and interconnection with the MSC server of the other suppliers
MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS)
The fast packet forwarding capability can be improved, and the QoS is guaranteed.
IP over E1 function
The UMG8900 can adapt the IP data packets into the TDM packets, implement
transparent transmission based on the route, and support the Compressed Real-Time
Protocol (CRTP) function when the type of the IP bearer interface is serial or VT. That is,
the RTP packet is compressed, the bandwidth occupied by the RTP packet is reduced,
and the transmission efficiency is improved.
Working with the MSC server to support the H.248.11 overload control protocol and the
H.248.10 congestion control protocol, and supporting the self overload protection
function, to completely and stably support the H.248 protocol
SSH server function to ensure data completeness and reliability and safely implement
remote user login and access
Flexible configuration of common codecs
In the actual networking application, the MGW is required to recognize and transparently
transmit certain special codecs only without converting them. The UMG8900 can
flexibly configure such common codecs to implement dynamic support.
IP interworking inside the MGW
For interworking between IP terminations inside the MGW, the IP interfaces are looped
through lines. No router or layer 3 switch is required to transmit packets; thus, the cost is
reduced.
2.2.2 Networking Flexibility
The UMG8900, developed based on the softswitch architecture, is not only compatible with
TDM switching networks but also able to push TDM networks to evolve to IP packet
switching networks.
The UMG8900 interacts with the MSC server through the H.248 protocol. They together
serve as a VMSC/TMSC/GMSC of the GSM-R core network.
The UMG8900 and MSC server can be installed in different places and connect with each
other in the IP packet mode.
Multiple UMG8900s can be managed by one MSC server. Different UMG8900s
communicate with each other by TDM/IP. The MSC server is placed in a central city for the
sake of easy maintenance. The UMG8900 is placed in an area of dense traffic. Thus, the
UMG8900 can access the base station subsystem (BSS) nearby to reduce roundabout traffic

Product Description


and improve the QoS. At the same time, the flat network architecture and connection mode
support flexible networking. The UMG8900 can form a big local network or build a virtual
dedicated network through user division based on areas on the MSC server.
In addition, the UMG8900 can provide the agent A-Flex function to implement MSC Pool
networking. The devices in the access network can interconnect with each MSC Server in
MSC Pool without being upgraded. The MSC Servers in Pool can share resources and load. If
an MSC Server fails, another MSC Server in Pool can take over subscribers of the faulty MSC
Server. Thus, network disaster recovery is implemented.
2.2.3 Large Capacity and High Density
A UMG8900 frame adopts the standard 19-inch structure and offers front and back slots in
pair. One frame provides 32 slots to increase the capacity of a single frame effectively.
The UMG8900 provides the multi-frame cascading function and supports up to 29 frames.
You can flexibly configure the UMG8900 based on the actual networking and user capacity.
2.2.4 Smooth Expansion
The UMG8900 is designed based on the distributed modular architecture. Different boards
and software modules perform different service functions.
To expand and upgrade the UMG8900, you can add related service boards to existing frames.
If the capacity exceeds the limit of existing frames, you can add frames in the cascading mode
to achieve the upgrade. Because the UMG8900 supports a wide range of capacity, it can meet
the requirements of expansion in most applications. The cascading mode enables the
UMG8900 to take the form of one network element, which is convenient for maintenance and
management.
To upgrade services of the UMG8900, you can upgrade the software and add new service
boards required. Thus, the UMG8900 can implement smooth evolution and support current
transmission networks.
2.3 Maintenance Features
2.3.1 Easy Installation and Maintenance
The UMG8900 supports easy installation and flexible maintenance.
The details are shown in Table 2-15.

management information and running log to the hard disk or compact disk.
Operation and maintenance security
The system defines user groups and rights. Different user groups can customize different
command sets. Through the configuration of command groups and users, the system can
effectively implement hierarchical management of operators and operation rights.
During the operation, the system checks data consistency and gives prompt and
confirmation about operations. This avoids possible damage to the system due to
improper operations.
Network and device management can protect your password and make unauthorized
access invalid. Service data can be accessed only in certain condition. The system
ensures that only authorized users can obtain correct data.
Through the access control list (ACL), you can configure the firewall flexibly to filter
messages of ports that do not provide service. Thus, the system can prevent attackers
from finding system holes through the port scanning technique.
The UMG8900 supports the IP Security (IPSec) protocol. The UMG8900 ensures the
security of services by encryption of transmission data.
2.3.3 Carrier-Class Reliability
The UMG8900 ensures system reliability through the following mechanisms and designs:
All main control boards support the 1+1 backup function.
The interfaces support the 1+1 and N:1 backup functions, the automatic protection
switch (APS) interface protection, optical signals through and off protection and so on.
The service resource boards work in the resource pool mode to share all the resources.
The multi-frame cascading mode supports master and slave cascading channels to avoid
any single-point fault.
The UMG8900 supports the dual-homing function. When the master MSC server fails,
the UMG8900 switches to the slave MSC server to ensure the normal running of services.

Product Description


3.1 Physical Architecture
3.1.1 Cabinet Appearance
The UMG8900 is placed in N68-22 or N68E-22 cabinets provided by Huawei.
Figure 3-1 shows the front view of an N68-22 cabinet.
Figure 3-1 Front view of an N68-22 cabinet

Product Description


Figure 3-2 shows the front view of an N68E-22 cabinet.
Figure 3-2 Front view of an N68E-22 cabinet

The N68E-22 cabinet is the enhanced model of the N68-22 cabinet. Its specifications such as
dimensions are the same as those of the N68-22 cabinet. The difference is that the N68E-22
cabinet is equipped with only one door and the installation is easier.
An N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet has a 46 U inside space (1 U = 44.45 mm = 1.75 inches). It
comprises a power distribution frame, three semi-integrated frames, a cabling trough, multiple
filler panels, a rack, multiple guide rails and one or more side hang fiber coilers. It is supplied
with 48 V/60 V DC power. It conforms to IEC297 standards and meets the requirement for
flexible module configuration.
The N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet can adopt the front and back maintenance modes, and support
upward and downward cabling modes. The N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet can be placed and
connected with cables based on the actual conditions of the equipment room.

Product Description


In addition, the N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet adopts the standard 19-inch structure. Other frames
based on the standard 19-inch structure can be placed in free space of the cabinet to improve
the utilization of the equipment room.
3.1.2 Frame Appearance
The UMG8900 supports the SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames. Both types of frames adopt the
standard 19-inch structure and are completely the same in appearance.
The front view of a UMG8900 SSM-256 frame is show in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Front view of an SSM-256 frame

An SSM-256 frame has 32 front and back slots in total. In the main control frame, the
MOMU/MNET boards are configured by default. In a service frame, the MMPU/MNET
boards are configured by default.
The front view of a UMG8900 SSM-32 frame is shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 Front view of an SSM-32 frame

Product Description


An SSM-32 frame has 28 front and back slots in total. In the main control frame, the
MOMB/MTNC boards are configured by default. In a service frame, the MTNC boards are
configured by default.
A fan box is integrated at the bottom of a cabinet. On the back of a cabinet, there are power
input and monitoring interfaces as well as the dual in-line package (DIP) switches that are
used to set frame No.
The UMG8900 frame is a semi-integrated frame with a fan box. The frame provides front and
back slots in pair to hold boards. The frame is 12U in height and the middle 9U is for boards.
A front board is 9U in height while a back board is 8U. Thus, 1U at the back of the frame is
for the filtering box.
Because a front slot differs from a back slot in height, front and back boards cannot be
inserted crossly.
3.2 Hardware Architecture
3.2.1 Hardware Fundamentals
The UMG8900 can be applied in the core networks of GSM-R. It can cooperate with the MSC
server to serve as a VMSC, TMSC or GMSC.
The UMG8900 supports the SSM-256 frames and the SSM-32 frames. The two types of
frames support multiple cascading modes, including the SSM-256 self-cascading, SSM-32
self-cascading, and SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading.
When the UMG8900 serves as a local exchange, it can connect with an external SIWF frame
to provide the IWF.

Product Description


When only SSM-256 frames are used, the hardware components are shown in Figure 3-5.

In the case of only SSM-256 frames, the UMG8900 supports nine-frame cascading at most.
When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 and the SIWF connect with each other by FE and E1/T1, and communicate
through the internal protocol.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame, central
switching frame, service frame and control frame. The main control frame is the control and
management center of the equipment and also provides the service processing function. The
central switching frame provides switching and cascading functions. The service frame
provides the service processing function. The control frame only processes call control
messages instead of bearer services.
In the case of only SSM-256 frames, there are TDM, FE and GE cascading channels between
frames. The UMG8900 supports 4 8 K or 3 8 K TDM cascading, 2 GE cascading and 1
FE cascading. The cascading channels work in the master/slave mode. In addition, there are
clock distribution cables from the clock (CLK) boards to service frames, the central switching
frame and control frame to provide clock signals.

Product Description


When only SSM-32 frames are used, the hardware components are shown in Figure 3-6.

In the case of only SSM-32 frames, the UMG8900 supports three-frame cascading at most.
When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame and service
frame. The main control frame is always numbered 1. The main control frame can serve as the
central switching frame at the same time or the central switching frame can be configured
independently.
In the case of only SSM-32 frames, there are TDM and FE cascading channels between
frames to provide 1 8 K TDM and 1 FE cascading capacities. The MTNC boards in the
main control frame or the central switching frame connect with the MTNC boards in other
frames. There is no requirement for independent cascading boards.
The SSM-32 frames support GE cascading as well. In this case, you must configure
independent NLU cascading boards.
Clock subboards can be attached to the MTNC boards in the main control frame to provide
stratum-3 clock signals or independent CLK boards can be configured to provide stratum-2 or
stratum-3 clock signals. Other frames extract clock signals through the TDM cascading
channels between frames. There is no requirement for independent clock distribution cables.

Product Description


When both SSM-32 frames and SSM-256 frames are used, the hardware components are
shown in Figure 3-7.

In the case of SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed application, the UMG8900 supports 29-frame
cascading at most. When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to
provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame, service frame
and central switching frame. The main control frame is fixed to use frame No.1. The central
switching frame is fixed to use frame No.0. Service frames use frame Nos.2 to 28. The central
switching frame uses an SSM-256 frame. Service frames can use either SSM-32 frames or
SSM-256 frames.
In the case of SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed application, there are TDM and FE cascading
channels between frames. The UMG8900 provides 1 8 K TDM /2 x 8K TDM/4 x 8K TDM
and 1 FE cascading capacities between the SSM-256 central switching frame and SSM-32
frames.
In the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode, the UMG8900 also supports GE
cascading between frames. In this case, you must configure independent NLU cascading
boards in the SSM-32 frames and the UMG8900 supports up to eight-frame cascading.

Product Description


In this mode, if clock subboards on the MTNC in the SSM-32 main control frame are used to
provide stratum-3 clock signals, other frames extract clock signals through the TDM
cascading channels between frames. There is no requirement for independent clock
distribution cables. If independent CLK boards are used, clock distribution cables are required
to provide clock signals for the central switching frame and other SSM-256 service frames.
The LMT client software installed on a PC is used for the operation and maintenance, data
configuration and equipment management of the UMG8900. The LMT client connects with
the OMC interface in the main control frame.
3.2.2 Cabinet Architecture
The UMG8900 supports two types of cabinet configuration. One type is the UMG8900
assembly cabinet, where up to three frames of the UMG8900 can be configured. The other
type is the UMG8900 extended assembly cabinet, which is used when the SIWF is
configured.
If the capacity requires more than two frames and an SIWF frame is configured, the two types
of cabinets are required at the same time. The two types of cabinets are the same in structure
and both use the N68-22/N68E-22 cabinets. The difference lies in the internal components
configured in the cabinets.

cabinet is 46 U (1 U = 44.45 mm = 1.75 inches).
A single cabinet is composed of a power distribution frame, service frames, cabling troughs,
filler panels, a cabling rack, slide rails and side hang fiber coilers. The cabinet adopts 48
V/60 V DC power supply. The cabinet conforms to IEC297 standards and supports flexible
configuration of modules in it.

Product Description


A cabinet has a front door and a back door, which enable the device maintenance from both
the front and back of the cabinet.
The UMG8900 supports multi-frame cascading to cover applications from 16 E1s/T1s to
7168 E1s/T1s smoothly. In the large-capacity networking, more than one cabinet is required.
3.2.3 Frame Architecture
An SSM-256 frame and an SSM-32 frame are the same in structure except the backplane and
configured boards. An SSM-256 frame supports 256 K TDM switching while an SSM-32
frame supports 32 K TDM switching.
Both an SSM-256 frame and an SSM-32 frame adopt the semi-integrated structure. A frame is
integrated with a fan box and provides front and back slots in pairs to hold boards.
The board deployment in an SSM-256 frame is shown in Figure 3-10.

A front slot is 9 U high and a back slot is 8 U high. The slot positions follow the rules below:
Back slots 7 and 8 are fixed for the MNET boards.
Front slots 7 and 8 are fixed for the MOMU boards in the main control frame and for the
MMPU boards in other frames.
Back slots 6 and 9 are fixed for the TNU boards. The physical boards corresponding to
the TNU are the MTNB, MTNU and TCLU.
Front slots 6 and 9 are for service resource boards such as the MVPD. The two slots
cannot be inserted with the service boards that require corresponding back interface
boards.
Common slots are for service processing boards. The CLK boards shall be inserted in
back slots 0 and 1 in the main control frame.

Product Description


For a board that requires a corresponding back board, if a front slot is inserted with a specified
service board such as an MHRU, the corresponding back slot must be inserted with an
interface board such as an E8T, or an E1G.
For details about board configuration, see the online help for MML commands.

An SSM-256 frame and an SSM-32 frame are the same in appearance and structure but
different in the backplane. In an SSM-32 frame, the main control boards MMPB and their
back boards MTNC occupy two front and back slots respectively.
The slot positions follow the rules below:
Back slots 7 and 9 are only for the MTNC boards. Front slots 7 and 9 are only for the
main control boards, MOMB in the main control frame and MMPB in other SSM-32
frames respectively. Because MTNC boards and MOMB/MMPB boards occupy two
front and back slots respectively, slots 6 and 8 cannot be configured with other boards.
If SSM-32 frames require only stratum-3 clock signals, no independent CLK boards are
required. If SSM-32 frames require stratum-2 clock signals, independent CLK boards are
required. The CLK boards are fixed to be configured in back slots 0 and 1 in frame 0 or
1.
Common slots are for service processing boards. For a board that requires a
corresponding back board, the slot positions follow the same rule as that in an SSM-256
frame.

The UMG8900 accesses and processes IP/ATM/TDM bearer services, exchanges media
gateway control data with the softswitch, processes media resources and performs adaptation
and transparent transmission of signaling. The UMG8900 also provides auxiliary functions
such as the management and maintenance of the device, the clock and cascading functions.
Based on the functions and the distributed modular architecture, the hardware system of the
UMG8900 can be divided into the media gateway control and management module, TDM
processing module, service resource module, packet processing module, signaling adaptation
module and cascading module.
These modules are described as follows.
3.3.2 Gateway Control and Management Module
The gateway control and management module mainly performs the following two functions:
Under the control of the gateway controller, this module invokes various bearer and
service resources within the UMG8900, sets up service bearers and processes service
stream formats.
This module is responsible for the management and maintenance of the UMG8900. The
UMG8900 adopts the client/server mode. The client LMT connects with the BAM of the
UMG8900 to maintain and manage the UMG8900.
The PPU and CMU boards together provide the gateway control function. The
OMU/MPU/TNC board provides the management and maintenance function.

Product Description


When the PPU and CMU boards cooperate to provide the gateway control function, the PPU
resolves and encapsulates the gateway control protocol H.248 while the CMU invokes and
manages the resources within the UMG8900 based on the gateway control messages.
The physical board corresponding to the PPU is the MPPB. The physical boards
corresponding to the CMU are the MCMF and MCMB. The physical boards corresponding to
the OMU are the MOMU and MOMB. The physical boards corresponding to the MPU are the
MMPU and MMPB. The MOMU/MMPU can only be configured in the SSM-256 frame
while the MOMB/MMPB can only be in the SSM-32 frame.
The MOMB/MMPB can be equipped with the SCMU subboard to improve the processing
capability and implement the functions of the CMU/PPU.
3.3.3 Packet Processing Module
The packet processing module includes two parts: packet switching, and packet processing
and interface.
The packet switching module switches packet services of the gateway. For the SSM-256
frame, the NET board performs this function and the corresponding physical board is the
MNET. For the SSM-32 frame, this function is embedded in the OMU/MPU board in the
gateway control and management module and the corresponding physical board is the
MOMB/MMPB.
For the SSM-256 frame, the UG01MNET provides 16 GE packet switching capacity, and the
UG02MNET provides 24 GE packet switching capacity. For the SSM-32 frame, the packet
switching module provides 12 GE packet switching capacity.
The packet processing and interface module processes packet service bearers of the gateway
and provides hardware interfaces for packet services.
The UMG8900 provides packet service bearer modes: IP, ATM, and IPoE. The three modes
correspond to different hardware types of boards for the bearers.
The hardware of the IP packet processing and interface module mainly includes the HRB,
E8T and E1G. The corresponding physical boards are the MRPU, MHRU, MIOE, MHRD
(D1GO), ME8T, ME1G, and MNET.
The hardware of the ATM packet processing and interface module mainly includes the ASU,
A4L, EAC, and TAC. The corresponding physical boards are the MASU, MA4L, MEAC, and
MTAC.
3.3.4 TDM Processing Module
The TDM processing module includes three parts: TDM interface, clock processing and TDM
switching.
The TDM interface module provides TDM interfaces of the UMG8900 and supports
extracting line clocks as clock reference sources. The TDM interface module mainly includes
the E32, T32, PIE, S2L and S1L boards. The corresponding physical boards are the ME32,
MESU, MT32, MTSU, MPIE, MS2L, MS1L, MS2E, and MS1E.
The UG01MS2L can only be configured in the SSM-256 frame while the MS1L can only be
in the SSM-32 frame. The UG02S2L can be configured in both SSM-32 and SSM-256
frames.
The clock processing module provides clock signals required and supports access of various
clock reference sources. The clock processing module mainly includes the CLK and the
corresponding physical board is the MCLK.

Product Description


The UMG8900 supports two clock modes. One mode is to provide the clock through the CLK
boards, which can provide stratum-2 or stratum-3 clock signals. The other mode is to provide
the clock through the TNU (MTNC) boards, which can provide only stratum-3 clock and can
only be configured in the SSM-32 frame.
The TDM switching module mainly includes the TNU boards. In the SSM-256 frame, the
corresponding physical boards are the MTNU, TCLU and MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the
corresponding physical board is the MTNC. The TNC falls into UG01TNC and UG02TNC.
The UG01TNC provides the 32 K TDM switching capability, and the UG02TNC provides the
96 K TDM switching capability.
3.3.5 Service Resource Module
The service resource module processes media stream formats and provides resources for
service connection.
The hardware of this module mainly includes the VPU and ECU boards. The ECU provides
the echo cancellation (EC) function. The VPU provides announcement playing, digit
collecting and audio mixing functions. In addition, the VPU can provide all the functions of
the ECU. The corresponding physical boards are the MVPB, MVPD, MTCB, MTCD, and
MECU.
The MTCB and MVPB can only be used in an SSM-256 frame while the MTCD and MVPD
can only be used in the SSM-256 frame and SSM-32 frame. The MVPD is compatible with
the MVPB subboard and can be equipped with the new subboard such as VQE, VDD, and
VDF.
When the UMG8900 supports the voice over IP (VoIP) service, the HRB + VPU mode is
adopted.
3.3.6 Signaling Adaptation Module
The signaling adaptation module adapts the signaling of the wireless access network and
PSTN to the signaling of the IP packet network.
This module cooperates with the TDM processing module, packet processing module and
gateway control and management module to adapt and forward signaling.
This module includes the SPF. The corresponding physical board is the MSPF.
3.3.7 Cascading Module
The UMG8900 supports different application capacities through the single-frame and
multi-frame cascading modes. The cascading module provides the cascading of packet, TDM
and control service streams in the multi-frame cascading mode.
The BLU and FLU cooperate with the packet and TDM service processing modules to
perform the function of the cascading module.
The physical board corresponding to the BLU is the MBLU. The physical board
corresponding to the FLU is the MFLU. Cascading boards can be used only in the SSM-256
frame.

services, some requirements on the QoS must be met. The UMG8900 provides the following
measures to ensure voice quality:
Supporting IP differentiated services (IP DiffServ), IP ToS and IP DSCP
Supporting priority queue of upstream data and treating services differently in terms of
handling order

Product Description


4.2.2 Mobility Support
The UMG8900 supports the modifying and switching of bearer resources to satisfy the
demands for service streams conversion and different networks interconnection.
The UMG8900 provides highly mobility by supporting IP/ATM/TDM bearer resources, voice
codecs conversion, and the modifying and handover of internal bearer channels.
The device supports the following handover:
Inter-exchange, intra-exchange and subsequent handover for GSM-R networks
4.2.3 Embedded SG
The UMG8900 supports the embedded SG function to adapt the signaling of the circuit
switched network to that of the IP packet network.
The UMG8900 can access the signaling of a BSC, MSC and PSTN switch. After adaptation,
the UMG8900 forwards the signaling to the MSC server. This function can optimize the
network topology and reduce networking cost.
4.2.4 Audio Mixing
The UMG8900 supports the audio-mixing function. By networking with the MSC server, the
UMG8900 can support the multiparty service (MPTY).
4.2.5 Virtual Media Gateway
A virtual MGW (VMGW) refers to a logical MGW. Multiple VMGWs can be integrated as a
physical MGW. The UMG8900 supports the VMGW functions. You can configure a physical
UMG8900 to multiple MGWs that have independent logical functions. The VMGWs are
identified by the VMGW ID and are managed by different softswitches. The bearer resources
of the physical MGW can be allocated to different VMGWs in exclusive or resource-sharing
mode so that the flexibility of the UMG8900 is enhanced.
The implementation of the VMGW functions is defined in Multiple Virtual MGs of the Media
Gateway Control protocol (MEGACO). One MGW can be controlled by only one MSC
Server. One MGW can also be divided into multiple VMGWs, each of which can be
controlled by one MSC Server.
The UMG8900 supports the VMGW application defined in the MEGACO protocol.
On the UMG8900, one physical MGW can be divided into 32 VMGWs. Each VMGW
supports three master and slave MSC Servers to enable the switching when an MSC Server
fails. The UMG8900 also employs the independent operational and management policy. One
MGW can be divided physically or logically based on the capacity, functions and performance
instead of belonging to the MSC Server simply.
The UMG8900 supports the following VMGW functions:
Logical division of IP bearer resources
Logical division of TDM bearer resources
Logical division of ATM bearer resources
The resource pool mode for TC and EC media resource processing
Dual homing, remote disaster tolerance and backup

Product Description


4.2.6 LICENSE
Traditional expansion is through the adding of hardware. You can buy different numbers of
frames and boards to obtain corresponding capacities. In addition, you may want to operate a
small system with less investment at the initial stage of network construction. Therefore, a
method through software, namely, LICENSE, is required to provide more accurate capacity
control.
In addition, you can acquire enhanced functions and services by buying LICENSE. Thus, you
can provide related value-added services. With the LICENSE function, you can flexibly
choose the network functions that fit a specific stage based on actual requirements. Thus, you
can protect your investment to the most extent.
4.2.7 TrFO/TFO
Transcode free operation (TrFO) is a type of out-band transcoding control operation. In the
TrFO mode, the end-to-end negotiation is completed at the control plane before a call
connection is set up. After the negotiation, the amount of transcoders in the call channel is
reduced to improve voice quality.
In the TrFO mode, if the negotiation succeeds, no TC resource need be allocated. No TC
resource need participate in the negotiation process either. The TrFO is defined in 3rd
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) R4 specifications.
Tandem free operation (TFO) is a type of in-band transcoding control operation. It is
configured for the two transcoders that both support the TFO. When the codec types of two
transcoders are matched, this function enables in-band negotiation about codec selection
instead of codecs conversion, thus improving voice quality. This function is defined in 3GPP
R99 and GSM specifications.
In the TFO mode, each channel must occupy TC resources for negotiation. However, the
occupied TC resources need not participate in the transcoding. The TFO is defined in 3GPP
R99 and GSM specifications.
The UMG8900 supports both the TrFO and TFO functions.
4.2.8 IPoE1
The UMG8900 supports transmission of packets in the IPoE1 mode. In this way, the existing
TDM network can be fully utilized, the IP-based transmission mode can be quickly
introduced, and investment on future network evolution and capacity expansion can be
reduced.
When services are transmitted in the IPoE1 mode, the UMG8900 supports compression of the
RTP protocol and thus decreases the bandwidth utilization. The UMG8900 supports the
standard RFC2508 compression and the enhanced RFC3545 compression.
At present, the UMG8900 provides the Mc interface, Nb interface and OMC interface for
service transmission in the IPoE1 mode.
4.3 Network Applications
The UMG8900 must be integrated with a (G)MSC Server to implement (G)MSC functions of
a mobile core network. With the bearer independent call control (BICC) structure, the
UMG8900 supports flexible networking modes and can interconnect with existing networks.

Product Description


The UMG8900 supports the following networking applications:
Serving as the (G)MSC with a (G)MSC Server in a GSM-R core network
Serving as the bearer equipment and networking with a (G)MSC Server in a GSM-R
network
Serving as the bearer device in a GSM-R network
The following sections describe the networking modes listed above. The MSC server
developed by Huawei is selected as a (G)MSC Server.
4.3.1 GSM-R Networking
In the present mobile networks, the GSM-R network is mainly responsible for voice services
provision. To realize smooth network upgrade without affecting the current network
development, the UMG8900 networks with the MSC server to provide (G)MSC functions of
the GSM-R network.
The GSM-R networking is shown in Figure 4-1.

In this networking mode, the UMG8900 and MSC server act as one device. They connect
with each other through the internal interface or standard Mc interface.
In a GSM-R network, TDM/AIM/IP connections are used between MSCs in the core network,
between the MSC of the core network and the BSC of the access network, and between the
core network and PSTN.
For the voice service streams from the access network, the UMG8900 accesses them to the
core network by TDM. For the voice service streams between devices in the core network, the
existing TDM network can be used or the VoIP function of the UMG8900 can be used to
realize the VoIP connection in the core network.
The call control signaling of Base Station Subsystem Application Part (BSSAP) from the
access network can be sent to the MSC server directly through the independent signaling
trunks between the MSC server and BSC. The signaling can also be forwarded to the MSC
server through the SG embedded in the UMG8900 or TDM semi-permanent connections of
the UMG8900.
The signaling between MSCs in the core network is exchanged based on ISDN User Part
(ISUP) or Telephone User Part (TUP). The signaling can be transmitted over TDM links

Product Description


between MSC servers, through the SG embedded in the UMG8900 or TDM semi-permanent
connections of the UMG8900.
When the UMG8900 and MSC server are combined to work as a GSM gateway exchange, the
UMG8900 receives voice service streams from an external network such as the PSTN through
the TDM interfaces. The signaling is sent to the MSC server by an independent SG or through
direct connections to the MSC server. The signaling can also be forwarded to the MSC server
through the SG embedded in the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 supports complete SG functions. The UMG8900 can forward the signaling of
the access network or Signaling System No.7 (SS7) of the PSTN to the MSC server based on
M2UA/M3UA.
4.4 Networking Examples
The UMG8900 can work as a service tandem device in the GSM-R network. When the
UMG8900 works as a tandem or local exchange, it supports the two networking modes based
on pure TDM and VoIP at the same time. Following are two networking examples.
4.4.1 GSM-R Local Exchange Networking
The combined networking mode of Huawei UMG8900 and MSC server to expand the
capacity of the local exchange. The UMG8900 and MSC server are combined to serve as an
MSC.

VMSC in the local exchange for network expansion and connect with two new BSCs. This
networking reduces call loss due to the increase of network users and improves the quality of
service.
The UMG8900 and MSC server are placed in a same equipment room and connect with each
other through LAN Switches. The embedded SG of the UMG8900 forwards all the signaling
of the access network to the MSC server. At the same time, the UMG8900 can also forward
signaling upstream to the TMSC and complete service connection.

5 Reliability
About This Chapter
The reliability of a telecommunication device is the key factor. The reliability design usually
involves three aspects: system reliability, hardware reliability, and software reliability.
Based on the basic requirements of reliability design, this chapter describes some designs and
applications of the UMG8900 in the respect of reliability. Through this chapter, you can learn
some basic features and applications of the UMG8900 in the respect of reliability design.
Title Description
5.1 System Reliability Describes the system reliability of the UMG8900
5.2 Hardware Reliability Describes the hardware reliability of the UMG8900
5.3 Software Reliability Describes the software reliability of the UMG8900

Product Description


5.1 System Reliability
System reliability considers reliability requirements of the device in terms of system
application. This design chooses common service protection methods and measures based on
the networking of the device to ensure the normal running of the whole device.
The measures for system reliability include the following two aspects:
System Protection Measures
Error Tolerance Consideration
5.1.1 System Protection Measures
System reliability design is based on an overall analysis of system reliability. To ensure the
system reliability, the UMG8900 adopts such methods as backup, load sharing and
redundancy configuration and optimizes fault detection and isolation techniques for boards
and the system. The following measures are adopted:
Redundancy Design
The UMG8900 supports master/slave switchover, load sharing and resource pool.
Power module: works in the master/slave mode and ensures the normal running of the
system in case one fails.
The CLK, NET, OMU and MPU: work in the master/slave (1+1 backup) mode. If the
master board fails, the slave one becomes active to ensure the normal running of the
system.
Service boards: work in the 1+1 backup, load sharing or resource pool mode. Two or
more boards jointly implement functions. If one of them fails, other boards take over the
tasks of the failed board if a certain performance index such as call loss is satisfied.
Derating Design
The derating design is to reduce the stress on electronic components to be lower than the rated
values. The purpose is to slow down parameter degrading, extend lifespan and improve the
system reliability. The derating design is usually applied to reducing the rated values of
electric stress and heat stress.
Component Choosing, Controlling and Normalizing Design
The key factors to component reliability lie in how to choose and use them. Component types,
specifications and suppliers are selected for the UMG8900 according to their replaceable and
normalized degrees. By means of component normalization and reliability analysis, as few
components as possible are used in order to realize high availability.

Product Description


Heat Design
As product performance may be affected by temperature, component selection, circuit design
(such as tolerance design, drift design and rated value derating design), structure design and
dissipation design are applied to a product in order to make it work reliably in a wide
temperature range. The UMG8900 provides special structures and dissipation measures to
lower temperature.
Maintainability Design
The purpose of maintainability design is to realize certain maintenance goals in terms of
quality and quantity especially to reduce time cost in maintenance. It is measured by the
simplification degree of product design and maintenance, reachability, standardization,
replaceability, modularization, error-free design, identification, testability, diagnosis
technology, human and environment factors and so on. To achieve certain maintenance
goals, the UMG8900 adopts the following measures.
Hot-swappable boards to reduce time used for replacing them.
Backward cabling for the convenience of module assembly and disassembly.
Detection and alarm report functions to detect and report faults timely.
A convenient and friendly man-machine language (MML) operation terminal to facilitate
maintenance personnel to locate and remove faults as soon as possible
Electromagnetic Compatibility Design
Electromagnetic compatibility design prevents the UMG8900, as well as any other equipment,
subsystem, or system, from being degraded due to the electromagnetic waves from other
equipments in the same electromagnetic environment.
Power Reliability Design
The power reliability is ensured by such designs as overcurrent and overvoltage protection,
internal temperature adjustment and protection, redundancy design, and independent
protection facility.
Software Reliability Design
To ensure software reliability, such software engineering methods are used as modularized
design, object-oriented design, integrated circuit (IC) design, error tolerance, error correction
and auto-recovery.
5.1.2 Error Tolerance Consideration
The UMG8900 has the following considerations of error tolerance:
Modularized design to achieve distributed process and independence between modules
Master/slave, load sharing and resource pool working modes to ensure the system
normal running in the event of partial fault.
Redundant fan configuration, intelligent control and alarm report functions
Multiple alarm handling mechanisms. One is to use embedded indicators and beepers
panels to produce alarms in time. The other mechanism is to send alarms to users in a
centralized way by way of the local operation and maintenance center.

Product Description


5.2 Hardware Reliability
To ensure the system reliability, the hardware system of the UMG8900 adopts such methods
as backup, load sharing, redundancy configuration and resource pool and optimizes fault
detection and isolation techniques for boards and the system.
The hardware reliability involves the following aspects:
General Hardware Design
Backup Reliability Design
Hardware Maintainability Design
5.2.1 General Hardware Design
The UMG8900 fully meets general requirements for hardware design as follows:
The UMG8900 adopts the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode.
Multiple CPUs comprise a cluster processing system and each module has distinct
functions.
The redundancy design is adopted for hot backup of important functional modules so
that service, NET and CLK boards have strong error tolerance ability.
Non-volatile memory is used to store important data. The foreground/background data
backup mode is adopted to ensure data security and consistency.
Advanced integrated circuits such as application specific integrated circuit (ASIC),
programmable logic devices (PLD) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) are used
to achieve high integration, technique level and reliability.
High quality components pass the aging test and strict filtering. The hardware
assembling process is also under strict quality control. Thus, the UMG8900 can ensure
high stability and reliability in the long-term running.
All board hardware supports version report and online software loading.
The redundancy and error tolerance designs are adopted. The core switching network is
based on the dual-plane architecture. In addition, the UMG8900 enables global sharing
of resources and distributed control of services.
The UMG8900 adopts the distributed dual power plan. In the unit of one frame, high
frequency DC/DC secondary power modules are used to ensure high efficiency and
stability.
The overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism is adopted for +5 V/48 V power
input and external interfaces (such as the E1/T1 interface) of each board. This
mechanism accords with International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) G.703 Recommendations, Appendix B and the related
requirements.
5.2.2 Backup Reliability Design
Hot backup at the board level is the most often used mode for a telecommunication device to
improve the system reliability. Its actual effect can be measured through the rate of successful
switchover, which in turn depends on the detection rate of board faults and the switchover
mechanism. The UMG8900 considers both the factors in design.
Board fault detection: During the board powering on, the system makes self-test on
memory and key external chips such as the network chip. In addition, the system online
monitors key signals used by the boards such as clock signals (8-kHz signals for example)
and makes loopback tests on service code streams when idle.

Product Description


Switchover mechanism: The switchover between the master and slave boards is
accomplished through two cross-connected signals. The two signals are the output signal
that indicates the local board is valid and the input signal that indicates the peer board is
valid. The former signal is generated by heartbeat detecting circuits.
Dual-channel backup: The UMG8900 supports the cascading mode. Cascading boards
are used to implement the master/slave dual-channel connections between cascaded
frames. Cascading modules can check the status of the channels through hardware to
increase the reliability and speed of cascading switchover effectively.
5.2.3 Hardware Maintainability Design
The UMG8900 adopts advanced maintenance bus (MBus) modules. Each board provides an
MBus subboard to form an independent MBus system within each frame.
The MBus system is independent of higher-layer software. It can implement the power on/off
management and environmental monitoring, offset the influence of surge current and increase
the speed of responding to fault detection.
5.3 Software Reliability
Software reliability is usually considered in terms of software engineering. In addition, it can
be ensured through software development methods.
The software reliability designs include:
Software Engineering: Provides the reliability design for software through development
methods
Upgrade Without Service Interruption: Implements the upgrade without service
interruption function through the grouping clue and cooperation of the master group and
slave group
Error Tolerance Design: Improves the error tolerance ability of software based on
different tasks or mechanism
Fault Monitoring and Handling: Provides general processes and methods for fault check
and handling through software
5.3.1 Software Engineering
To improve the software reliability, the key point is to reduce software defects. The
UMG8900 ensures the software reliability at different phases from demand analysis, system
design and test.
From demand analysis, the software development flow is guided by the specifications of
capability maturity model (CMM). Thus, errors can be limited within the starting phase.
At the software design phase, design methods and implementation are stressed. Modular
design is adopted and each software module is based on the loose coupling mechanism. Fault
of one module does not affect other modules. In addition, measures for fault check, isolation
and recovery are added to improve the system reliability. Codes walkthrough, review and test
provide effective ways to ensure the reliability.
Test on different types of software is a necessary means to increase the software reliability.
From the initiation of a software project, test personnel participate in the software
development flow at all levels. From unit test to system test, each plan strictly follows the
demand of the upper-level flow. The integrity of the plan ensures the software reliability.

Product Description


5.3.2 Upgrade Without Service Interruption
Through the grouping clue and cooperation of the master group and slave group, the
UMG8900 implements the upgrade without service interruption function.
5.3.3 Error Tolerance Design
With error tolerance ability, a software system can be recovered automatically when a slight
software fault occurs. Such ability is shown in the following aspects:
Periodic Detection on Key Resources
A verification mechanism is applied to the case that deadlock happens to certain software
resources. Through this mechanism, the deadlock resources are released and logs and alarms
are output.
Task Monitoring
There are always output channels for software errors and some hardware faults during the
software running. This monitoring process is to oversee task running and reporting
abnormality.
Storage Protection
The paragraph and page protection mechanism of CPU memory management unit (MMU) is
enabled to save codes and important data. This mechanism also provides such functions as
online query, variable and data modification and memory area monitor.
Data Check
Data consistency checks are implemented on a periodic or event-driven basis. If inconsistency
is found, data consistency can be recovered in a priority order or other orders and then logs
and alarms can be output.
Operation Log Storage
The system records operation information in a certain period and saves the records into
system operation logs. Operation logs can be used to track operation status and thus help to
locate faults, or recover normal operation status.
5.3.4 Fault Monitoring and Handling
Reliability and robustness of a software system are guaranteed by a strong fault monitoring
and handling system, especially after the software is launched. The UMG8900 has the
following mechanisms for fault monitoring and handling.
Backup and Switchover Mechanism
When a crucial fault occurs, the related components or boards will reset and switch over to
another available one. After restart, the system outputs the record of the rest reason and prints
the related information. During lower-level reload, system downtime should be kept in 30
seconds and that during highest-level reload should be no longer than 3 minutes

Product Description


Isolation Mechanism
With this mechanism, when an entity is unable to implement a certain function, the function
will be fulfilled by other entities.
Restart of Auto-Recovery Mechanism
If a board with a single function cannot implement its primary function, it probably fails and
shall restart.
Overload Control Mechanism
The system provides dynamic traffic and signaling overload control functions. With the
functions, the system can classify load controls into several levels automatically or through
commands manually inputted. Thus, the system can ensure the maximum call processing
ability in the case of overload. The software has a certain automatic error correction and
auto-recovery abilities (including restart and reload) when software failure occurs. The system
can be self diagnosed automatically at certain intervals and notify customers of upcoming
faults so that they can contact technical support engineers in time.
When key resource occupation rate exceeds certain limits, the system can take measures (such
as denying some less important services) to release service load.

(hereinafter referred to as iManager M2000). The iManager M2000 can implement central
management on all devices in the network. The iManager M2000 consists of one iManager
M2000 server and multiple iManager M2000 clients.
6.1.1 LMT
With the graphic user interface (GUI), the LMT offers the following functions:
Device configuration and management
Service maintenance
Performance statistics

Product Description


Service tracing
Security management
Troubleshooting
The LMT and the BAM of the OMU are connected in the standard client/server structure.
The BAM supports device management and provides external interfaces for management.
Because the BAM applies the industry-popular real-time and distribution operation system,
the service processing capability and response speed are greatly improved.
The BAM connects and manages other functional units through the FAM.
The LMT provides friendly GUI and abundant online help information. At the LMT, you can
get information about command functions and parameter meaning any time, as well as alarm
meaning, handling suggestions and so on.
The LMT can manage multiple UMG8900s simultaneously. It provides external alarm boxes
to report alarms with audio and optical signals. It can also send short messages to notify alarm
information to maintenance technicians.
To ensure reliable connection between the LMT and UMG8900, a dual plane design is used,
as shown in Figure 6-2.

The master and slave OMBs of the UMG8900 are both connected to the LAN Switch through
standard cables. The LMT system communicates with the UMG8900 host also through the
LAN Switch.
During communication, only the master OMB board is working. When the master board fails,
the slave OMB becomes active and connects to the LMT. The master and slave OMBs
provide only one operation and maintenance center (OMC) interface for the outside.

Product Description


The back TNC provides OMC interfaces of the OMB to meet the requirements of rear cabling.
6.1.2 iManager M2000 System
The iManager M2000, a part of Huawei iManager integrated network management system
positioned for wireless networks, is dedicated in managing all devices in a mobile network.
The LMT can be integrated into the iManager M2000 to implement uniform management on
all UMG8900s in the network by fulfilling the iManager M2000 topology management
functions.
The iManager M2000 communicates with the UMG8900 host based on TCP/IP.
The iManager M2000 makes it easy for alarm handling, routine operation, performance
management and information query in a centralized way.
The iManager M2000 system includes a server and one or more clients. The LMT is loosely
coupled with the iManager M2000. The LMT is dedicated to management on the UMG8900
only while the iManager M2000 is on all devices such as topology management and
troubleshooting for the entire network.
6.1.3 MML Command Line
The system provides not only GUI but also MML commands for device operation and
maintenance. The MML commands can be used for data configuration, routine operation and
device maintenance.
MML is an interactive interface between machine and man, which is based on ITU
Z.301-Z.341 series. MML provides a set of commands to operate and query the UMG8900.
Using the MML commands, you can monitor and manage the UMG8900 in all aspects.
MML has the following features:
Encapsulation: A function instead of a simple operation is encapsulated to an MML
command. For example, adding an IP address requires several steps, but can be
completed by an MML command which groups those steps. This feature inevitably
improves efficiency.
Consistency check: When an MML command is run, data consistency between tables is
checked to prevent rubbish data.
Base API: MML commands function as the lower layer application program interface
(API) with all other applications running based on it. The GUI terminal translates
interface operations into commands and then transmits them to the MML system. The
MML system runs the command and returns results in text, which are transformed to
another format suitable for display in GUI. In this way, the system stability is ensured as
the system running will not be affected by program problem.
Interactive: The input and output of MML system are based on pure character string.
This feature enables the host to interwork with Telnet alike, and the client terminal to run
on multiple platforms (such as the dumb terminal without processing capability).
Therefore, MML meets the requirement of central network management and the
tendency of telecommunication products.
With the MML system, you can select and re-run a history command and invoke a command
by inputting key words.
The MML system provides parameter range when you input a command, and draw-down
combo boxes or check lists for your selection convenience.

Title Description
8.1 System Installation Describes the installation procedure of the UMG8900
8.2 System Expansion and
Upgrade
Describes the expansion and upgrade procedure of the
UMG8900

Product Description


8.1 System Installation
The UMG8900 system is assembled in the factory. Before delivery, all internal cables of
cabinets are connected and the system is pre-commissioned based on the site conditions.
The UMG8900 supports the transportation with boards inserted. On site, engineers only need
to install cabinets and connect external cables according to the instructions in the hardware
installation manual.
All internal cables of the UMG8900 are present at the rear of the cabinet. Boards can be
inserted and removed easily from the front.
Interfaces for external cables, such as power cables, transmission cables and signal cables, are
on the top of the cabinet with remarkable silk-screen marks.
Before delivery, the software of the UMG8900 is installed and parameters are set based on
site configuration. After the hardware is installed, the system is ready to operate upon
power-on.
All these efforts save installation time on site, enabling operators to build networks and to
deliver services relatively quickly.
8.2 System Expansion and Upgrade
As the service traffic grows, the UMG8900 may require capacity expansion. For smooth
expansion of small capacity, you only need to insert new service processing boards or
interfaces in the existing cabinet without adding new cabinets.
The UMG8900 supports the cascading function. If the current frames cannot meet the
capacity requirements, you can add new frames to carry out smooth capacity expansion. The
UMG8900 supports cascading of up to 29 frames. Externally, the whole UMG8900 is a
network element, and operation and maintenance on the UMG8900 can be achieved through
only one operating terminal.
The UMG8900 offers a powerful software upgrade tool. This tool collects upgrade
information and compares the difference between versions before and after upgrade for update
of configuration files. The UMG8900 also supports rollback in case of upgrade failure to meet
service security requirements in emergency cases.
