1 MINI-LINK 6654

MINI-LINK 6654 supports Ethernet (packet link), PDH, and a mix thereof in a
Hybrid Radio Link sending Ethernet and PDH traffic simultaneously.

It consists of a rack, Enclosure 1401, that must be equipped with a fan, FAU
1401, and a PNM 1001 or PNM 1002 board. The PNM 1001/1002 board is a
combo solution for PFU (Power Filter Unit), NPU (Node Processor Unit), and
MMU (Modem Unit).

MINI-LINK 6654 can also be equipped with up to two MMU 1001/1002, two LTU
1001/1002, two ETU 1001/1002, or a combination thereof, see Figure 1.

Figure 1 MINI-LINK 6654

Unused slots in MINI-LINK 6654 must be equipped with Dummy Units, as this is
essential to maintain the cooling within the magazines and to meet EMC
requirements.

MINI-LINK 6654 can be fitted in a standard 19" or metric rack or on a wall using
a dedicated mounting set. The height of a MINI-LINK 6654 is 1U.

1.1 FAU 1401

Air-cooling is provided by the FAU 1401, see Figure 2.

The air enters at the right side of the enclosure and exits at the left side of the
enclosure.

1.2 Backplane Architecture

MINI-LINK 6654 provides high-speed connections of up to 2.5 Gbps between the
PNM, MMUs, ETUs, and LTUs.

The MMUs, LTUs, and ETUs are placed in the Application Plug-in Unit (APU)
slots, that is, slots 1 and 3.

3 2×2.5
1 2×2.5

The following slots are paired in MINI-LINK 6654:

— Slot 1 and Slot 3

1.3 Hardware Handling

The system offers several functions for easy operation and maintenance.

— Plug-in units can be inserted while the NE is in operation. This enables

adding of new Radio Terminals or other plug-in units without disturbing
existing traffic.

— Plug-in units other than the PNM can be removed while the NE is in
operation.

— When replacing a faulty plug-in unit, the new plug-in unit automatically
inherits the configuration of the old plug-in unit. Also, the APU SW load
modules are stored on the PNM, enabling replacement of for example MMUs
without using an FTP server.

— The configuration file is stored non-volatile both on the RMM and in a flash
memory on the PNM, and can also be backed up and restored using a local or
central FTP server. The RMM storage thus enables PNM replacement without
using an FTP server, unless the PNM SW load module needs to be updated.

— The backplane in all subracks has a digital serial number which is also stored
on the RMM of the PNM. When inserting an PNM, for example, as a
replacement, the serial numbers are compared on power up.

— Various restarts can be ordered from the management system. A cold restart
can be initiated for an NE or single plug-in unit, and this type of restart
disturbs the traffic. A warm restart is only available for the whole NE, and
this restarts the control system and does not affect the traffic, which is
possible due to the separated control and traffic system.

— All plug-in units are equipped with temperature sensors. Overheated boards
that exceed limit thresholds are put in out of service by the control system.
This is to avoid hardware failures in case of over-temperature, for example,
due to a fan failure or an ambient temperature that is too high. The plug-in
unit is automatically returned to normal operation when the temperature is
below the high threshold level.

There are two thresholds:

 MINI-LINK 6654 Hardware

• The high temperature threshold:

The PNM raises a temperature alarm (critical). The PNM is still in full
operation.

All plug-in units except PNMs raise a temperature alarm (minor). The
plug-in unit is still in full operation.

• The excessive temperature threshold:

The PNM shuts down the entire PNM (out of service).

All plug-in-units except PNMs raise a temperature alarm (critical) and

shut down the entire plug-in unit (out of service).

— Access to inventory data like software and hardware product number, serial
number, and version. User defined asset identification is supported, enabling
tracking of hardware.

— Slot availability and capacity can be monitored by using MINI-LINK Node

GUI or CLI. In this way, choosing a slot for additional plug-in units is easier.

1.4 Input Voltage Behavior

Figure 5 shows the input voltage behavior for MINI-LINK 6654. The different
units turn on and off at different voltages.

To prevent that the units turn on and off repeatedly around a threshold (so called
power flapping), there is a hysteresis for all units.
