Functions of DABB (for 36TRXs)
The DABB is the bypass board for E1 signals. It is an optional board.
Only one DABB can be configured. When the DABB is configured, the
DPTU cannot be configured.
The functions of the DABB include:
Bypass Function
− In chain topology, when the BTS where the DABB is located is
power off, the DABB can immediately set up the connection
between BTSs. Thus, the services will not be disrupted. In chain
topology, the BSC can identify the transmission disruption and
BTS power failure.
43. HUAWEITECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Page 43All rights reserved
Functions of DABB ( for 36TRXs )
Terminal Loopback
− When the DABB is configured in the BTS of the lowest level in
chain topology, you can perform E1 loopback. When the BTS is
power off, you can set the DIP switch of the DABB to short-circuit
the transmission cable. In this way, you can perform remote
loopback on transmission cables to locate faults.
Function of Bypass Board In Position Report
− The DABB provides the DTMU with DABB type and in-position
information of the DABB. Thus, the DTMU can determine the
assignment mode of the OML timeslots.

Then, the signals are sent to the DCSU and the DTRUs in DTRU subrack 0
through the ECMB.
The DCSU sends the signals to the DTRB in DTRU subrack 1 through the signal
cable between the DCSU and the DTRB.
The DTRB sends the signals to the DTRUs in DTRU subrack 1.
After receiving the signals, the DTRUs in the two DTRU subracks perform digital
filtering, up-conversion, and filter amplification, and then send the signals to the
DDPU/DFCU/DFCB.

feeder. The TMA is optional. It is used to compensate the feeder loss and
enhance receive sensitivity of the DDPU/DFCU/DFCB antenna port.
The DDPU/DFCU/DFCB receives the UL signals and transmits the signals
to the DTRUs in the two DTRU subracks after they are filtered by the
duplexer and amplified by the lower noise amplifier (LNA).
The DTRU in DTRU subrack 1 receives the signals from the
DDPU/DFCU/DFCB and transmits the signals to the DTRB after

The DTMU backs up the E1 signals and converts the E1 signals
through the DBUS. The DTMU then sends the converted signals to the
DCCU through the ECMB.
The DCCU sends the signals to the DCTB through the TOP signal
cable connecting the DCTB with the DCCU/DSCU.

DTRU and DDPU (DFCU or DFCB).
The DTRU and DDPU (DFCU or DFCB) report their board status to
the DTMU.
The DTMU obtains the status of the BTS3012 by collecting and
analyzing the states of all the boards. Then, it transmits the
information to the BSC through the Abis interface.
