Signal interaction between shelves

All resource shelves connect with GLI on the switching shelf via the optical interface on the front panel of UIMU.

The control shelf connects with UIMC on the switching shelf via RCHB1 and RCHB2 (rear board of CHUB).

Clock signals connect with UIMC on the switching shelf via RCKG1 and RCKG2 (rear board of CLKG).

Inter-shelf signal interaction

UIMU provides the control Ethernet channel to connect external resource shelves. UIMU connects with CHUB (the gathering center of the control flows from the control shelves).

    

DTB, SPB provide the interface for E1 line. SDTB provides STM-1 access. BIPI provides FE access. CLKG of the control shelf distributes system clock via the cable. UIMU is the gathering and switching center of various data of resource shelf, implementing the information exchange between modules.

GUP implements code transformation, rate adaptation and the conversion from TDM to IP packets.
