OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
RTN 360 provides a variety of functions and features.
2.1 Integration
RTN 360 integrates a built-in antenna and uses a wide frequency band design, which allows a
single chassis to cover the entire V-band.
2 Functions and Features
2.2 TDD
Time division duplex (TDD) has unique advantages over frequency division duplex (FDD) in
asymmetric transmission and high frequency spectrum resource utilization.
2.3 Automatic Frequency Selection
RTN 360 supports automatic frequency selection, which enables it to automatically select an
interference-free channel as the working channel.
2.4 Power over Ethernet
RTN 360 provides a P&E port through which it supports power over Ethernet (PoE) as a
powered device (PD).
2.5 Ethernet Service Processing Capability
RTN 360 can process native Ethernet services.
2.6 QoS
RTN 360 supports quality of service (QoS) functions, including traffic classification, traffic
policing, congestion avoidance, queue scheduling, and traffic shaping.
2.7 Clock Features
RTN 360's clock features meet clock transmission requirements of mobile communications
networks and offer a wide selection of clock protection mechanisms.
2.8 Network Management
RTN 360 supports multiple network management modes and provides comprehensive
management information exchange solutions.
2.9 Rapid Deployment
Page 16
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
RTN 360 uses a wide frequency band design, which enables a single chassis to cover the
entire V-band from 59 GHz to 64 GHz. This eliminates the need to distinguish TX high and
low sites, which means that spare parts need to be prepared for only one equipment model.
Both RTN 360 and Huawei small cell base stations can be installed on walls and poles. They
are similar in appearance and look harmonious when installed together.
2.2 TDD
Time division duplex (TDD) has unique advantages over frequency division duplex (FDD) in
asymmetric transmission and high frequency spectrum resource utilization.
In FDD mode, symmetric frequencies are required to function as the uplink and downlink
channels. The V-band is license-free in most areas and may be used by multiple users, and it is
difficult to obtain interference-free symmetric frequencies. Therefore, RTN 360 uses TDD
mode.
In TDD mode, asymmetric frequencies are used. Uplink and downlink data is transmitted in
different time periods. The ratio of timeslots for uplink data to those for downlink data can be
configured based on service requirements, flexibly using frequency resources.
Figure 2-2 Comparison between FDD and TDD modes
Using TDD mode, RTN 360 has the following advantages:
One RTN 360 can cover the operating frequency band (59 GHz to 64 GHz), eliminating
the need to distinguish TX high and low sites.
Timeslots for uplink and downlink data can be flexibly adjusted based on actual traffic.
The ratio of timeslots for uplink data to those for downlink data can be configured to 3:1,
2:1, 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3.
Page 18
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
RTN 360 supports automatic frequency selection, which enables it to automatically select an
interference-free channel as the working channel.
RTN 360 scans frequencies within a specified range to select interference-free channels. See
Figure 2-3.
Automatic frequency selection applies to the following two scenarios:
During commissioning in site deployment, this function is used to obtain
interference-free channels, releasing engineers from planning microwave link
frequencies.
For an in-service RTN 360, this function is used to reselect and switch to an
interference-free channel if the current microwave link is interrupted or fails due to
interference on the working channel, improving microwave links' immunity to
interference.

RTN 360 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
Overview of Hardware Security
RTN 360 uses the following hardware security measures:
Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and
controlled to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets.
This ensures that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
Overview of Software Security
RTN 360 processes two types of data: O&M data and service data. The two types of data are
transmitted over independent paths and do not affect each other. This enables services running
on an RTN 360 to be processed on two planes:
Management plane
The management plane provides access to the required equipment and management
functions, such as managing accounts and passwords, communication protocols, and
alarm reporting. Security features on the management plane implement secure access,
integrated security management, and all-round security audits.
Data plane
The data plane processes the service data flow entering the equipment and forwards
service packets according to the forwarding table. Security features on the data plane
ensure confidentiality and integration of user data by preventing malicious theft,

OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 360s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.
Functions and Features
USB flash drives prepared for RTN 360s store NE software and configuration data (including
databases, system parameters, and scripts).
Equipment software and scripts stored in USB flash drives are installed on RTN 360s for
deployment and commissioning. With this system, users do not need to configure data
onsite.
Software, patch packages, NE databases, and system parameters are backed up to USB
flash drives. This avoids the need to reconfigure data when replacing a RTN 360.
Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives are imported to RTN 360s.
Application Scenario
For deployment and commissioning of an RTN 360, scripts, and software are stored on a
USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the RTN 360
downloads software, and scripts in sequence.
For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 360, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the
RTN 360 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 360 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
During RTN 360 replacement, an empty USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device,
which automatically backs up its data to the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the
drive holding the backup data is inserted into the new device, which automatically
downloads the backed up NE data, software, and system parameters and restores the NE
data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
The root directory stores a RTN.CER file.
The RTN.CER file, which stores administrator-level account and password information (with password
information encrypted), is used for authenticating the USB flash drive. The file is generated by a system
administrator at the network management center (NMC) using a dedicated tool.
pkg: stores the NE software.
Page 76
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep the
folder empty.
patch: stores the patch software.
sysdata: stores system parameters.
script: stores scripts.
db: stores NE databases.
license: stores a license.
The license directory cannot be backed up or restored. It is usually empty.
devicetype: stores device type parameters.
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 360, the RTN 360 checks the folders on the
USB flash drive in the following order:
1. Checks for the RTN.CER file in the root directory. If the file exists, the USB flash drive
is authenticated. Otherwise, the USB flash drive fails to be identified.
2. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of
the local RTN 360, the RTN 360 upgrades its software.
3. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from
that of the local RTN 360, the RTN 360 loads the patch software from the folder.
4. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 360
imports system parameters from the folder.
5. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 360 imports script
data from the folder.
6. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 360 loads the database from the
folder.
7. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 360 checks
the next folder. If the RTN 360 finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to
the USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.
Types of USB Flash Drives
Table 6-13 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 360. Not all USB flash
drives are supported by RTN 360. If a USB flash drive of another model or capacity is
required, confirm with the local Huawei office that the USB flash drive is supported by RTN
360.

30 m is obtained based on tests in which a laptop
(such as Lenovo Thinkpad X230) or mobile
phone (such as Huawei 8815) is used and there is
no obstacle between the laptop/mobile phone and
NE. The actual transmission distance may vary
according to performance of the laptop or mobile
phone used.
70 m is obtained based on tests in which a laptop
works with an external Wi-Fi network adapter
(such as Tenda W311U+) and there is no obstacle
between the laptop and NE. It is recommended
that an external Wi-Fi network adapter with 18
dBm transmit power, -86 dBm receiver
sensitivity, and an antenna of more than 4.2 dBi
gain be used or an external Wi-Fi network
adapter with better performance be used.

Product Description
This chapter describes the purpose, physical appearance, and connections of various cables
used with OptiX RTN 360s.
7.1 Outdoor Network Cables
Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect Ethernet ports.
7 Cables
7.2 RSSI Cables
Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) cables connect RSSI ports of RTN 360s to
multimeters.
7.3 Power Cables
Power cables connect PIs to power supply devices and supply them with -48 V power.
7.4 RTN 360 PGND Cables
PGND cables are connected to ground screws and outdoor ground points (such as ground
points on towers) so that RTN 360 is connected to the outdoor ground grid.
7.5 PI PGND Cables
Power injector (PI) PGND cables connect the ground points on the left of indoor PIs to
external equipment's ground points (for example, cabinets' ground columns), so indoor PIs
and external equipment share the same ground.
7.1 Outdoor Network Cables
Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect Ethernet ports.
The GE electrical ports of PIs support the medium dependent interface (MDI), MDI crossover
(MDI-X), and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes. Straight-through cables and crossover cables can be
used to connect the NMS ports and GE electrical ports to MDIs or MDI-Xs. Straight-through
cables are recommended if network cables are made onsite.
Page 80
OptiX RTN 360 Radio Transmission
Product Description
Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover
cables is with regard to their pin assignments.
Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 360 to common
Ethernet equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X
modes. If RTN 360 connects to power sourcing equipment (PSE) through a P&E port, pin
assignments for power signals output from the PSE determines whether to use straight-through
cables or crossover cables.
A network cable transmits power signals and Ethernet signals simultaneously. Therefore, the
impedance difference between cores of a network cable must be less than 5%; otherwise, Ethernet
service packets may be lost.
7.2 RSSI Cables
Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) cables connect RSSI ports of RTN 360s to
multimeters.
