SCCP Cage Configuration and 1X Devices
SC 4812T Lite frames have one SCCP cage which will support up to
four MCC cards and six BBX cards.
MCC Cards
A BTS may be configured with a mix of MCC–8E, MCC–24E, and
MCC–1X cards. Any SCCP cage MCC card slot will support any of the
three MCC types. For 1X capability under R16.0, at least one MCC card
must be an MCC–1X which can be installed in any MCC card slot. In a
BSS operating with Software Release 2.16.0.84.3 and higher, MCC–1X
cards will support IS–95A and B traffic as well as CDMA2000 1X.
When operating with Software Release 2.16.0.5x.x, the MCC–1X cards
do not support IS–95A/B operation. For additional software release
compatibility and capability information, contact the local Motorola
account team.
BBX Cards
Up to six BBX cards of mixed BBX2s and BBX–1Xs can also be
supported. SCCP cage BBX2 card slots 1 through 6 are carrier– and
sector–dependent. As a result, the BBX slots dedicated to the sectors for
one carrier should be populated with the same type of cards. Refer to
Table 1-6 for BBX card slot carrier and sector correlations.
The SCCP cage R1 card slot is dedicated to the redundant BBX. This
slot will support either a BBX2 or a BBX–1X. If a cage has BBX–1X
carriers, the redundant BBX (BBXR) must be a BBX–1X card to provide
1X redundancy.
BBX–1X and BBX2 Interchangeability
In a BSS operating with R16.0 software, BBX–1X cards can be used as
direct replacements for BBX2 cards; however, different types of BBXs
should not be mixed on the same carrier. Therefore, if a BBX2 card is
replaced with a BBX–1X, all remaining BBX2 cards for the carrier
supported by the replaced card must also be replaced with BBX–1X
cards.
