1) The document provides step-by-step instructions for installing a TN6P during a Mini Link Upgrade project. It details procedures for site access, surveys, installation, configuration, testing and acceptance. 2) Key steps include checking equipment deliveries, installing modules in the TN cabinet in a recommended configuration, configuring the TN software and interfaces, upgrading radio links, and coordinating with other teams for site halts and activations. 3) Appendices provide details on labeling requirements, recommended materials, and sample acceptance package contents to ensure proper documentation of the installation.

 AMM (Access Module Magazine)
 Power Cable and Connector
There are two Power connector and Two Power cable
IF cable
Washer

 NPU3 C and RMM
NPU (Node Processor Unit)
RMM (Removable Memory Module)
NPU3 C Specification:
 One Ethernet Traffic port
 One Ethernet Traffic port/LAN
 One port support E1 from TR
4A-4D
 two user output
NPU: can support 4E1 and it responsible main function, Contain internal memory to save
main parameter for Magazine and Routing table
RMM: it takes copy from NPU internal memory
 ETU2 B or LTU 12/1 (Optional)
LTU 12/1: use to support three
group and each group support four
E1
There are Traffic cable uses to distribute these E1 on ICF (Interconnection
Frame), from ICF to RBS (Radio Base station)
ETU: use to support Packet
data
ETU (Ethernet Terminal Unit)
RMM
rmm

16. 16| P a g e

 LTU 32/1 (Optional)
LTU 32/1: use to support eight group and each group support four E1
There are Traffic cable uses to distribute these E1 on ICF (Interconnection
Frame), from ICF to RBS (Radio Base station)
 MMU 2H
MMU2 H (Modem Unit):
It support maximum air interface traffic capacity of up to 406 Mbps
MMU2 H supports up to 512 QAM modulations. 256 QAM with channel spacing
56 MHZ support 80 E1
 Two PFU3 B
PFU (Power Filter Unit): it distributes primary
power to the plug-in units in the AMM through
the backplane.
There are two PFU, one is redundant for other
NOTE: at least you should have on LTU card (LTU 12/1 or LTU32/1) for physical E1 dropping
This mean MMU work with
+24V or -48 V, so TN6P can
work with +24 V or -48 V
This mean MMU work with Volt -48 V
So TN6P need power source -48V only

17. 17| P a g e

 FAU (FAN Unit)
used for Cooling
 Earth cable and washer and Screw& Nut 13mmØ
 Dummy
 ICF and Traffic cable

Call them and tell them your action upgrade from Mini link or SIAE to TN to send
mail to BEB team
7. Call NMC to Halt Site and effected sites
Tell those halt your site (Site, Co and G) and all sites with it in mail, after him replay
to you can connect jumper with MMU on TN and complete action
8. Complete Action
 Jumper Connected
Connect jumper on MMU
 RAU Software upgrade
Open Mini link craft and right click on TN then choose tools then Software
upgrade (Choose upgrade modules)

Choose it 6B
Choose it from Tx
frequency
Read it from Tx
Power at SF6Tx on
Choose -70 and 10^-6 always

How read SF6 file to configure radio link
MMU ID: if you configure radio link at site 211 terminal ID 594F and Far end ID 594E
Capacity: 17E1, so rate= 2.048*17 = 35 Mb/S
At Tx type: TN MMU2H (1+0) 38GHZ R2N
After end configuration at two sides check received power and if it in range show in SF6 file
or not (Accept if Rx+/- 3 dBm)
It mean RAU 2N
Link 1+0 no
protectionMMU type: MMU2H
It mean install TN6P

30. 30| P a g e
MLU Project
Before call BEB check if TN6P managed or not:
Open start menu and write cmd at RUN menu and press enter
Write telnet magazine IP and press enter, (password: Ericsson)
TN6P-0211 > ping Router IP (Always end with .29)
Show Tx and
Rx power
This IP that you
need ping on it to
check if Magazine
management

31. 31| P a g e
MLU Project
Print screen show that magazine managed:
9. Drop E1 Physical
10.Call BEB to Add Node and E1dropping
Call BEB and tell him that you want add Magazine to management and tell him IP,
then tell him E1 dropping as example (if LTU 32/1 Pos6) "dropping at LTU 32/1
pos6, 1A for site, 1B for site Expansion, 1C for Co, 1D and 2A for G)
*site it mean GSM Band 900MHZ
*Co it means GSM 1800
*G it mean 3G
