MINI-LINK BAS 9-2
Technical Description EN/LZB 111 0542 P2B
9.1 Introduction
The MS, that performs the integrated control and supervision in all
MINI-LINK BAS units by means of the EM and the CP, continuously
monitors the transmission quality and alarm status.
The information is fed to the supervision channels, which are
extended throughout the MINI-LINK BAS equipment.
Communication with this integrated control and supervision system is
carried out by means of a Unix workstation along with suitable
software.

9.1.1 Communication Channels
Operation and maintenance data between MINI-LINK BAS units are
distributed via CP and DPs. The data connection between EM and CP
is a 10BaseT Ethernet featured by a TCP/IP protocol.
Connections between the C-AAS (CE Shelf) and R-AASs (Radio
Shelves) are performed through the ATM Network by means of
optical links, SDH or SONET, with ICS/ATM protocol.
Connections between R-AASs and ATs are performed through the air
interface, NCU+RAUs+ FlexNU, using the ICS/ATM protocol.
Note: Reference is made to the Chapter 6: Management and
Control.
