Chapter 2. Base Station Components
WARNING: You cannot have a WSC-48 card drive a 24 V radio.
2.4 Main System Controller Card
The MSC serves as the brain of the PM 5000. It performs networking functions like
Bridging, VLAN, VLAN Tagging (double) and Routing (Future). Remote network
management and configuration is possible through dedicated management port (for
remote out-of-band management) or via the Backhaul port for in-band-management.
Local management is possible through a serial port. Its advanced processors deliver
superior packet processing performance for critical functions like QoS classification,
packet forwarding, and filtering. It also aggregates the traffic of up to 12 wireless
sectors into a high-speed Gigabit Copper of Fiber Backhaul interface. The MSC card
synchronizes all internal wireless sectors enabling efficient collocation and frequency
reuse when multiple radios are installed in the chassis. External clock input/output
ports enable the MSC card to synchronize either with other PacketMAX Base Stations
installed at the same location or with a external clock source like a GPS receiver.
Thus, the MSC monitors, controls, and assures proper operations of the modular base
station chassis.
The Networking functions include:
Management
Backhaul and data aggregation
Synchronization
The Shelf Management System (SMS) functions include:
Watches over the basic health of the system, reports anomalies, and takes cor-
rective action when needed.
Retrieve inventory information and sensor readings as well as receives event
reports and failure notifications from modules in the system.
Perform basic recovery operations such as power cycle or reset each module
in the system.
Manage system power and cooling. The management entity on each intelligent
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) negotiate power usage needs with the SMS
before it can be fully powered.
