Page: 10 / 150

MINI-LINK TN R3 ETSI
Basic Node The Basic Node holds the system platform providing traffic
and system control, such as traffic routing, multiplexing,
protection mechanisms and management functions.
Specific plug-in units provide traffic interfaces, PDH, SDH
and Ethernet, for connection to network equipment such as
a radio base station, ADM or LAN. ATM aggregation is also
supported.
Finally, it includes indoor mechanical housing, power
distribution and cooling.
For more information, see Section 3 on page 9.
Radio Terminals Each Radio Terminal provides microwave transmission from
2x2 to 155 Mbit/s, operating within the 6 to 38 GHz frequency
bands, utilizing C-QPSK and 16, 64, 128 QAM modulation
schemes. It can be configured as unprotected (1+0) or
protected (1+1).
For more information, see Section 4 on page 59.

The Basic Node and Radio Terminal concept does not apply to an NE with
ATU. However, the self-contained unit implements applicable parts such as,
traffic interfaces, control and management functions, power, cooling and the
indoor part of an unprotected (1+0) Radio Terminal with C-QPSK modulation.
The management features and tools are described in Section 6 on page 105.
