2. System Network Configuration

- The Sierra basic network configuration:

- Network configuration with SROU 10W expansion:

- MHU is interfacing with BTS(Base Transceiver Station) via RF cable and it has 8 optical interfaces with ROUs via

optical cable.

- ROU is interfacing with MHU using optic cable and can be cascaded with up to 8 ROUs.

- As for the scalability of Sierra, the total number of ROUs per each BR port is limited up to max. 8.

- SROU is interfacing with ROU through an optic cable and is installed in the same site of ROU.
