4 BTS3900C Power System
The BTS3900C supports 110 V AC, 220 V AC, and -48 V DC power supply. When AC power is used, the base station converts AC power into -48 V DC power.
5 BTS3900C Monitoring System
The BTS3900C monitoring system monitors all boards and components in a BTS3900C cabinet. If any board or component is faulty, an alarm is automatically reported. The RRU or UPEU and UEIU in the BBU collect monitoring signals from boards and components to monitor the surrounding environment of the BTS3900C.
6 BTS3900C Components
This section describes the components of a BTS3900C cabinet.
7 BTS3900C Cables
The BTS3900C cables are the PGND cables, power cables, transmission cables, CPRI cables, signal cables, and RF cables.

l Provides CPRI ports for communication between the BBU and the RFUs.
l Provides USB
data can be inserted into the USB port to perform the automatic base station upgrade.
l Provides an OM channel between the base station and the LMT or the M2000 to operate
and maintain the base station.
l Processes uplink and downlink data.
l Manages the entire dual-mode system in terms of OM and signaling processing.
l Provides the system clock.
NOTE
(1) The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption. The TST port is used for commissioning the base station rather than importing or exporting the base station configuration.

NOTE
(1) Before accessing the base station through the ETH port, ensure that an OM port has been opened and the user has obtained required authorities for accessing the base station through the OM port.
(2) The TST port is used for commissioning the base station rather than importing or exporting the base station configuration.
(3) The security of the USB port is ensured by encryption.
NOTE
SFP0 and FE/GE0 ports on the LMPT are used for one GE input. Therefore, they are not used simultaneously.
SFP1 and FE/GE1 ports on the LMPT are used for another GE input. Therefore, they cannot be used simultaneously.

NOTE
l The "Antenna Configuration" column lists the maximum configurations supported by various types of
LBBP. For example, the LBBPc supports the maximum configuration of 3x10 MHz 4T4R, and therefore supports any of the following configurations: 3x1.4 MHz 4T4R, 3x3 MHz 4T4R, and 3x5 MHz 4T4R.
l Boards with the same antenna configuration support combinations of different bandwidth as long as
the total bandwidth does not exceed the maximum bandwidth supported by the board. For example, if an LBBPc supports the 3x20 MHz 2T2R antenna configuration, the three cells connected to the LBBPc can use any of the following antenna configurations: 1.4 MHz 2T2R, 3 MHz 2T2R, 5 MHz 2T2R, 10 MHz 2T2R, 15 MHz 2T2R, and 20 MHz 2T2R.
l The LBBP supports CPRI convergence when the site is configured with any of the following RRUs:
RRU3221, RRU3240, RRU3828, RRU3829, RRU3928, RRU3929, LRFUe, MRFUd, RRU3229, RRU3841, RRU3942, RRU3642, RRU3832, RRU3838, and RRU3268. The CPRI convergence of the LBBP must comply with the following principles:
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only between two
LBBPc boards, and one LBBPc board must be configured in slot 2 or 3.
l In LBBPc+LBBPc CPRI convergence mode, the CPRI convergence is allowed only from multiple
LBBPc boards to one LBBPd board, and only the CPRI ports on the LBBPd in slot 2 or 3 can connect to RF units.
Panel
The LBBP has two types of panels, as shown in Figure 3-27 and Figure 3-28.

The UPEU is classified into four types: universal power and environment interface unit type a (UPEUa), universal power and environment interface unit type b (UPEUb), universal power and environment interface unit type c (UPEUc), and universal power and environment interface unit type d (UPEUd). The UPEUa, UPEUc, and UPEUd convert -48 V DC power into +12 V DC power, and the UPEUb converts +24 V DC power into +12 V DC power. Figure 3-31, Figure

The UPEUc and UPEUd have silkscreens "UPEUc" and "UPEUd" indicating their board types on them, respectively, whereas the UPEUa and UPEUb do not have such silkscreens indicating their board types. The UPEUa and UPEUb, however, can be distinguished by the silkscreens "-48 V" and "+24 V" on them.
The UPEU performs the following functions:
l Converts -48 V DC or +24 V DC power into +12 V DC power, which is the operating
voltage of the boards.
l Provides two ports with each receiving one RS485 signal and another two ports with each
receiving four Boolean signals. The Boolean signals can only be dry contact or Open Collector (OC) signals.

UPEUd The output power of a

NOTE
After the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc, the UPEU power consumption data monitored by the M2000 will change. The power consumption data does not only depend on the output power but also on the data collection method. The UPEUc and UPEUa use different methods for collecting power consumption data. Therefore, the decrease in the power consumption shown in the M2000 after the UPEUa is replaced by the UPEUc does not necessarily reflect the actual decrease of power consumption.
