Select the [Advanced] tab page shown in Figure 5-6, and input CIC in the field of
[Start CIC No.]. Then click <OK>. The system will automatically calculate the
corresponding relationship between CICs and the trunk circuits of the designated
FTC.
In BSC, 1 CIC can only correspond to 1 trunk circuit. During the interconnection of A
interfaces, because the corresponding relationships between CICs and trunk circuits
adopted by different manufacturers are slightly different, the corresponding
relationship between each CIC and trunk circuit should be negotiated with MSC.
Whether each timeslot of TFC occupies a CIC should also be negotiated with MSC.
Generally, each timeslot should occupy a CIC.
Note:
If "Auto Calculation" is selected in Figure 5-2, only the start CIC No. of the FTC configured in Slot2 of
Frame4 can be modified. The other CICs are numbered sequentially from the start CIC No.
5.3 SS7 Data

SS7 data configuration is to configure the data shown in [Hardware] tab page of
Module [0] shown in [Object List] window, mainly the SS7 signaling data of E3M.
5-5
Figure 5-7 Hardware in Module0

When multi-module BSC is fully configured, Module0, i.e., AM/CM, contains total 16
E3Ms, which correspond to 8 BMs (Every 2 E3Ms correspond to 1 BM).
In Figure 5-7, the 2 leftmost E3Ms in Frame3 correspond to BM1, i.e., the one in
Slot2 corresponds to the TCSM of Frame4 in Figure 5-10, while the other in Slot3
corresponds to the TCSM of Frame5 in Figure 5-10. The next 2 E3Ms correspond to
BM2. By analog, the other corresponding relations can be obtained.
Caution:
The E3M with an even board No. must correspond to the TCSM with an even frame No. Otherwise,
TCSM cannot work normally.
Double click the E3M in Slot2 of Frame3 to pop up the [Set E3M Board Property]
5-6
Figure 5-8 Set E3M Property

As shown in Figure 5-8, the This E3M is correspond to BM [1] logically displayed
indicates that this E3M corresponds to BM1.
If an E1 port is selected, it indicates that this port is used to transmit one SS7
signaling link. Ports 0~3 are respectively connected to the 4 TCSM units (from left to
right) of Frame4 in BM1. Generally, [Interface Type] is set as "A Interface", and
[Trunk Work Mode] is set as "A Interface CSS Mode".
If [MSM TS] is set as "16", TS16 of the 4 FTCs of the TCSM unit will become
unavailable.
For the description of the parameters, please refer to II. Configure SS7 link in
3.3.2 Transmission Interface Frame of Chapter 3 BSC Hardware Data.
Note:
If there are 2 links in a BM, the 2 links should be connected to 2 LPN7s.
In Figure 5-8, double click a link in the [Signaling Link] list (e.g. link 4) to pop up the
[Signaling Link Property] interface, as shown in Figure 5-9.
5-7
Figure 5-9 Signaling Link Property

The information in the [Signaling Link Property] interface must be consistent with
that at MSC side. Especially, due to unified numbering in BSC, the values of
[Signaling Link Code] and [Signaling Link Code Transmission] cannot be repeated in
the same multi-module BSC.

If the circuit state is "Unavailable", it indicates that the circuit is used to transmit
signaling and sync. information. If the state is "Available", it indicates that the circuit
is used for voice and data transmission.
There are 32 circuits in each FTC. The 1st circuit is used to transmit sync.
information. The circuit type is automatically configured as "A/PB Signaling Link",
and the circuit state is "Unavailable".
Because Port0 of the E3M in Figure 5-8 is configured with SS7 signaling, and Slot
16 of the E1 on MSM is used for SS7 signaling transmission, accordingly, Slot16 of
each FTC in this TCSM is unavailable, as shown in Figure 5-12.
Figure 5-12 Circuit Property (b)

The last timeslot of each TCSM unit is used to transmit TCSM maintenance
information. The corresponding trunk circuit must be configured as "A Maintenance
Link". Otherwise, it will lead to call loss. The last timeslot is automatically configured
by the system, as shown in Figure 5-13. In the meantime, the corresponding trunk
circuit at MSC side must be configured as "Unavailable".

If "Valid for All Circuits" is selected in Figure 5-16, the modifications will be valid for
all trunk circuits.
III. transparent-transmission BIE

In BSC Data Auto Configuration System, generally, BIE 16 of Frame3 in Figure 5-10
is automatically configured as the BIE that transparently transmits SS7. It is
recommended that the default configuration be adopted. Double this BIE to pop up
the [Set BIE Board Property] interface, as shown in Figure 5-17.
Figure 5-17 Configure the BIE that transparently transmits SS7

5-13
If "Transparent Transmission of SS7 Signaling" is selected, it indicates that this BIE

is used to transparently transmit SS7 signaling. If it is deselected, the [BIE Port
Networking Property] tab page will be displayed, as shown in Figure 5-18. The [BIE
Port Networking Property] tab page is used for BTS configuration.
Figure 5-18 Configure the BIE that is not used to transparently transmit SS7
5.5 Manually Adjust A Interface Circuit

Generally, A interface data need be manually adjusted during the establishment of
new BSC office, or when a large-scale upgrade is performed for BSC. This
subsection first introduces some concepts related to A interface circuits, and then
describes the methods for manually adjusting A interface circuits.
5.5.1 Trunk Circuit

I. Trunk circuit classification
The trunk circuits of Abis interface and A interface are sequentially numbered within
a BM in BSC. Abis interface circuits and A interface circuits can be differentiated by
circuit type and trunk group.
BSC automatically allocates 2 trunk groups to each BM. One is A interface trunk
group, and the circuit type is TC. The other is Abis interface trunk group, and the
5-14
circuit type is BIE. Here, take the full configuration of the BIE frame in BM1 as an
example.
Figure 5-19 Full configuration of the BIE frame
II. Abis interface trunk group

Abis interface trunk circuits are numbered as per BIEs. Each BIE group occupies
256 trunk circuit numbers.
In Figure 5-19, the trunk circuits of BIE 0 are numbered from 0. BIE 16 is used to
transparently transmit SS7.
BIE groups 0~6 each occupy 8 HWs. BIE groups 7~8 each occupy 4 HWs. The
trunk circuits of BM 1 that are numbered 0~1919 (256%7+128-1) are Abis interface
trunk circuits. "256%7" denotes the number of circuits occupied by the first 7 BIE
groups. "128" indicates that the 8th BIE group only uses 128 trunk circuits. 1 is
subtracted because the trunk circuits are numbered from 0. The system
automatically allocates 256 trunk circuit numbers to each BIE group. Therefore, The
last 128 trunk circuit numbers (1920~2047) that the 7th BIE group corresponds to
are not used.
The trunk circuits numbered as 2048~2175 are the ones used by the BIE that
transparently transmits SS7. Therefore, The last 128 trunk circuits numbered as
2176~2303 that the 8th BIE group corresponds to are also not used.
Though only 1 timeslot is used to transmit a piece of SS7 message, the trunk
circuits occupied by the BIE are all in unavailable states, and the circuit type is "A or
Pb Interface Signaling Link", because the BIE cannot be used for other purposes. If
two SS7 links are configured in the [E3M Board Property] interface, the BIE
timeslots of the two signaling links must be different.
Because FTC trunk circuits of are numbered after BIE trunk circuits, FTC numbers
and circuit numbers will be changed after a BIE is delected, Therefore, BIE generally
should not be deleted.
For the BIE that is not in use, please configure it displayed in Figure 5-19 as
invisible, so that it can not be viewed in BSC Maintenance System.
III. A interface trunk group

The full configuration of TCSM frame is shown in Figure 5-20.
5-15
Figure 5-20 Full configuration of TCSM frame

Numbering of the trunk circuits of FTC starts from 2304. These trunk circuits
respectively correspond to the CICs of A interface and the trunk circuits of E3M.
Each FTC provides 32 trunk circuits. In Figure 5-20, the first TCSM unit in Frame4
contains 4 FTCs. The trunk circuit numbers for the 4 TFCs are 2304~2335,
2336~2367, 2368~2399 and 2400~2431 respectively (from left to right). The trunk
circuits of the other 3 TCSM units in Frame4 are also sequentially numbered from
left to right, and the No. range is 2432~2815. Likewise, the trunk circuits of the
TCSMs in Frame5 are numbered as 2816~3327.
All the trunk circuit numbers are automatically generated by the system, and need
not be modified manually.
5.5.2 E3M Trunk Circuit

Before and after an FTC trunk circuit is demultiplexed by MSM, the FTC trunk circuit
No. is the same. One port on E3M corresponds to one TCSM unit. Therefore, there
is a one-to-one relationship between FTC trunk circuits and E3M trunk circuit No..
The full configuration of the control frame in AM/CM is shown in Figure 5-21.
Figure 5-21 Full configuration of the control frame

E3M trunk circuits in the whole BSC are sequentially numbered from 0. An E3M
provides 512 trunk circuits. For example, No.0 E3M of Frame3 in Figure 5-21
corresponds to the 4 TCSM units of Frame4 in Figure 5-20, i.e. trunk circuits
numbered as 2304~2815 correspond to E3M trunk circuits 0~511. No.1 E3M of
5-16
Frame3 corresponds to the 4 TCSM units of Fame5 in Figure 5-20, i.e., trunk circuits
numbered as 2816~3327 correspond to E3M trunk circuits 512~1023.
E3M trunk circuit numbers are automatically generated by the system, and cannot
be manually modified.
5.5.3 Manually Adjust CIC
Caution:
Manual adjustment of CIC may lead to abnormal operation of the system. Make ensure that the CIC is
correct.
Each trunk circuit of FTC may correspond to a CIC. CIC must be unique, and should
be determined based on negotiation with MSC.
The 5.2 Relationship between CICs and Trunk Circuits subsection has described
how the corresponding relationship between CICs and trunk circuits is automatically
generated by the system or is manually adjusted. This part will focus on how to
manually modify the corresponding relationship between CICs and FTC trunk
circuits.
Deselect "Auto Calculation" in the [A-Interface Timeslot Occupancy] tab page as
shown in Figure 5-2. Then double click an FTC to pop up the [Set FTC Board
Property] interface, and select the [Basic Information] tab page, as shown in
Figure 5-22.
Figure 5-22 Basic Information

5-17
Deselect "Auto-Calculate Circuit Property", and then select the [Circuit Property] tab
page, as shown in Figure 5-23.
Figure 5-23 Circuit Property

In the [Circuit Property] tab page, [State], [CIC] and [Circuit Type] of each trunk
circuit of the FTC can be modified.
[State] can be set as "Unavailable", "Available" or "Block". [Circuit Type] can be set
as "A Traffic Link", "A/PB Signaling Link" or "A Maintenance Link". CIC can be
directly input.
Trunk circuit 0 of FTC must be used to transmit sync. signals. The state is
"Unavailable", and the circuit type is "A/PB Signaling Link".
The trunk circuit for SS7 signaling transmission must be consistent with the one in
MSC. The state of it is "Unavailable", and the circuit type is "A/PB Signaling Link".
The signaling timeslots on MSM are fixedly demultiplexed to the corresponding
timeslots of the 4 corresponding FTCs. Therefore, if trunk circuit 16 of FTC 0 in a
TCSM unit is used to transmit SS7 signaling, the same configuration must be
adopted for trunk circuit 16 of the other 3 FTCs.
[MSM TS] must be configured in consistency with that in Figure 5-8.
Trunk circuit 31 of the last FTC in each TCSM unit must be configured as "A
Maintenance Link", and [State] should be configured as "Unavailable".
