Mechanical and electrical Features
BSC consists of central rack and vocoder rack.
Central rack and vocoder rack apply standard rack and insertion box.
The different types of insertion box are composed of different inserted
boards.
From top to bottom, the whole rack contains: a power distribution
insertion box, 3~5 function insertion boxes, a fan box and anti-dirt
frame.
There are three kinds of function insertion boxes:
HIRS layer: consists of PSMB, NIM, NCM, etc.
CDSU layer: consists of PSMB, CDSUor CDSU, CPM, TCM,
GPSTM, etc.
SVBS layer: consists of PSMB, SVM, SVICM, etc.
Max.number of cards in each function insertion box:22
