Product Description 1 Product Introduction
1 Product Introduction
About This Chapter
OptiX RTN 380 (RTN 380 for short) is a full-outdoor E-band microwave transmission
equipment.
1.1 Network Positioning

The RTN 380 can provide large-capacity backhaul microwave links or aggregation links on a
mobile communications network or a private network, or substitute for optical fibers to
transmit CPRI signals between baseband units (BBUs) and remote radio units (RRUs) in a
distributed base station system to achieve longer transmission of RRUs.
1.2 Specifications
RTN 380 specifications meet the high bandwidth requirements in E-Band microwave
transmission. RTN 380 also has unique advantages in maintenance capabilities.
1.3 Site Configurations
RTN 380s, which can be cascaded, are not only able to form 1+0 sites, but also 2+0 sites, 1+1
sites, CCDP sites and so on.
1.1 Network Positioning

The RTN 380 can provide large-capacity backhaul microwave links or aggregation links on a
mobile communications network or a private network, or substitute for optical fibers to
transmit CPRI signals between baseband units (BBUs) and remote radio units (RRUs) in a
distributed base station system to achieve longer transmission of RRUs.
As E-band full outdoor radio equipment, the RTN 380 has the following characteristics:
l The RTN 380 operates at 71-76 GHz or 81-86 GHz frequency bands. It features large
capacity, low inter-site interference, and rich frequency spectrum resources, as compared
with radio equipment that operates at 6-42 GHz frequency bands. Therefore, RTN 380s
can form a backhaul network for base stations densely deployed in a city and provide
large-capacity backhaul links for aggregation sites. In addition, the RTN 380 can provide
high-bandwidth microwave links for transmitting Ethernet services on a metro optical
Ethernet in areas where optical fibers are difficult to lay out.
Issue 01 (2018-10-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1

l As compact full outdoor radio equipment, the RTN 380 integrates all functions in a
chassis and does not need an extra installation site. Therefore, it allows carriers to
construct and operate networks at lower costs than traditional split radio equipment.
On a mobile communications network, RTN 380s are mainly used to:
l Support protection such as PLA and 1+1 HSB. Provide large-capacity backhaul
microwave links for 3G/LTE base stations especially those that are densely deployed in
urban areas. See Figure 1-1.
l Provide large-capacity aggregation links for 3G/LTE base stations and implement multi-
direction aggregation when working with OptiX RTN 900s. See Figure 1-2.
l Provide microwave links between BBUs and RRUs in a distributed base station system
to transmit CPRI signals to achieve longer transmission of RRUs. See Figure 1-3.
l Work with the CSG to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent
transmission on the IP RAN. See Figure 1-4.
l Work with OptiX RTN 900 to implement the Super Dual Band solution through EPLA.
This solution provides high-bandwidth, long-distance, and high-availability backhaul
links. Super Dual Band Relay extends the E-band link transmission distance to three
times the transmission distance of a single-hop E-band link. See Figure 1-5.

1.3 Site Configurations

RTN 380s, which can be cascaded, are not only able to form 1+0 sites, but also 2+0 sites, 1+1
sites, CCDP sites and so on.
1.3.1 1+0 Site Configuration

A 1+0 site provides a one-direction working microwave link.
In 1+0 mode, one single-polarized antenna is used.
An RTN 380 is directly mounted on an antenna.
Figure 1-8 Typical 1+0 site configuration for transmitting Ethernet services

Figure 1-9 Typical 1+0 site configuration for transmitting CPRI services

A 2+0 site provides two one-direction unprotected microwave links in the same RF direction.
At a 2+0 site, two RTN 380s are installed on a hybrid coupler, and the hybrid coupler is
directly mounted on an antenna.Generally, the two RTN 380s are cascaded using gigabit
Ethernet (GE) ports for physical link aggregation (PLA) configuration.
NOTE
At a 2+0 site, the hybrid coupler must be a balanced hybrid coupler.

Figure 1-10 Typical 2+0 site configuration for transmitting Ethernet services
NOTE
For CPRI services, two RTN 380s each receive/transmit one channel of CPRI services through the
COMBO port.

A 1+1 site provides a microwave link protection system that comprises of one working
microwave link and one protection microwave link in the same RF direction. The RTN 380
supports only 1+1 hot standby (HSB) protection configuration.
At a 1+1 site, two RTN 380s are installed on a hybrid coupler, and the hybrid coupler is
directly mounted on an antenna.

NOTE
At a 1+1 site, the hybrid coupler must be an unbalanced hybrid coupler.
Two typical 1+1 site configurations are available:

l 1+1 site configuration using an optical splitter
l 1+1 site configuration using a LAG
1+1 Site Configuration Using an Optical Splitter

At a 1+1 site, an optical splitter can be used to split received GE optical signals into two
channels, and transmit one channel to the working RTN 380 and the other channel to the
protection RTN 380. The working and protection RTN 380s exchange 1+1 protection protocol
packets over a 1+1 cascade cable. See Figure 1-11.
Figure 1-11 Typical 1+1 site configuration using an optical splitter (only RTN 380s)
1+1 Site Configuration Using a LAG

Two RTN 380s can work with an RTN 900 or an LACP-supporting UNI-side device to
implement 1+1 protection. The two RTN 380s exchange 1+1 protection protocol packets over

a 1+1 cascade cable. When working with an OptiX RTN 900 IDU, the RTN 380s can connect
to the power-over-Ethernet ports of an RTN 900 IDU with outdoor network cables, which
carry both power signals and Ethernet service signals. See Figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12 Typical 1+1 site configuration using a LAG (RTN 380s working with an RTN
900 IDU)
NOTE
In 1+1 site configuration, two RTN 380s are cascaded through any Ethernet port.
1.3.4 CCDP Site Configuration

A co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) site configuration is a special 2+0 site configuration.
A CCDP site configuration provides two microwave links operating at the same frequency in
the vertical and horizontal directions.
To form a CCDP site configuration, two RTN 380s are mounted on an orthogonal mode
transducer (OMT). The OMT can be directly mounted on an antenna. The two RTN 380s are
cascaded through their COMBO ports or GE ports to transmit clock signals.

NOTE
Because the transmission distance of the RTN 380 is short, XPIC is not required to compensate the
slight XPD deterioration.
Figure 1-13 Typical CCDP site configuration
1.3.5 Multi-direction Site Configuration

A multi-direction site configuration provides microwave links in multiple RF directions.
To form a multi-direction site configuration, multiple RTN 380s are cascaded through their
GE optical ports. Generally, two RTN 380s are cascaded to form a 2x(1+0) configuration,
wherein the two RTN 380s are connected back-to-back. They independently perform Ethernet
service switching and scheduling with their own built-in switching units.

Figure 1-14 2x(1+0) site configuration for transmitting Ethernet services
NOTE
For CPRI services, two RTN 380s each receive/transmit one channel of CPRI services through the
COMBO port.
Multiple RTN 380s work with an RTN 900 IDU to form a multi-direction configuration. An
RTN 380 can connect to the Power-over-Ethernet port of an RTN 900 IDU using an outdoor
network cable, which carries both power signals and Ethernet service signals.

2.17 Environmental Protection
RTN 380 is designed to meet or exceed environmental protection requirements. The product
complies with restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) and waste from electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) directives.
2.1 AMAC
Adaptive modulation and adaptive channel space (AMAC) is a technology that automatically
adjusts the working mode based on channel quality. AMAC includes the AM and AC
functions.
AM
When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the radio service
bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme. The higher the modulation efficiency,
the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services. Under all channel conditions, the service
capacity varies according to the modulation scheme.
l When conditions for channel quality are favorable (for example, on sunny days), the
equipment uses a higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This
improves transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
l When conditions for channel quality are unfavorable (for example, on stormy or foggy
days), the equipment uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-
priority services are transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested
due to a lack of available bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded.
This method improves the anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures
link availability for high-priority services.

With quality of service (QoS) technology, Ethernet services are groomed to queues with
different priorities. Services in different queues are then transmitted to the microwave port
after the queue-scheduling algorithm has been run. The services in different queues are
transmitted to the microwave port after running the queue scheduling algorithm. When
modulation scheme switching occurs, certain queues may be congested due to insufficient
capacity at the air interface. As a result, certain services or all the services in these queues are
discarded.
The AM technology used by the RTN 380 has the following features:
l Uses QPSK Strong, QPSK, 16QAM Strong, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM modulation
schemes.
l Can configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation
scheme (also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
l Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
l Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.
l Features hitless shifting. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, low-priority
services are discarded while high-priority services are not affected. Shifting is successful
even when 100 dB/s channel fading occurs.
AC
AC is the enhancement of AM. If the lowest-order modulation scheme is set to QPSK Strong,
the AM function downshifts the modulation scheme to QPSK Strong when channel quality
deteriorates. Then, the AC function downshifts the channel spacing. The equipment uses the
available bandwidth to transmit high-priority services, reducing the impact of channel quality
deterioration on service signals.
l Channel spacing shifting is supported only when the modulation scheme downshifts to
the lowest-order modulation scheme QPSK Strong.
l When conditions for channel quality are unfavorable (for example, on stormy or foggy
days), the equipment downshifts the channel spacing, which reduces the impact of
channel quality deterioration on service signals.
l AC features hitless shifting. When the channel spacing is downshifted, low-priority
services are discarded while high-priority services are not affected. Shifting is successful
even when 100 dB/s channel fading occurs.
NOTE
RTN 380 supports only one-level AC downshifts from 500 MHz to 250 MHz or from 250 MHz to 125
MHz.

2.2 Automatic Transmit Power Control

Automatic transmit power control (ATPC) is a method that uses received signal level (RSL)
of the receiver to adjust transmit power within the ATPC control range. This feature reduces
interference to neighboring systems and residual bit error rate (BER).
Figure 2-2 shows the relationship between the RSL and the transmit signal level (TSL).

2.3 Channel Configuration

The OptiX RTN 380 supports three channel configuration modes: adjacent channel co-
polarized (ACCP), adjacent channel alternate polarization (ACAP), and co-channel dual
polarization (CCDP).
ACCP
ACCP allows signals to be transmitted over the electromagnetic waves in the same
polarization direction on two adjacent channels. See Figure 2-3.

2.4 Power over Ethernet

The RTN 380 provides a P&E port through which the RTN 380 supports power over Ethernet
(P&E) as a powered device.
P&E Principles
In P&E mode, an outdoor network cable carries Ethernet service signals along with DC power
signals. This eliminates the need for laying an extra power cable and therefore simplifies
installation.
An RTN 380 can work with a power injector (PI) to implement P&E through its P&E port.
See Figure 2-6.

signal
An RTN 380 can also work with other power sourcing equipment, such as an RTN 900 IDU,
to implement P&E through its P&E port. For example, when an OptiX RTN 905 2E IDU is
used, it provides two P&E ports, as shown in Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-7 Working with an OptiX RTN 900
P&E port P&E port
GE and -48V signal
GE1/P1 GE2/P2
RTN 905 2E
P&E Supply Distance

The P&E supply distance refers to the distance between the power sourcing equipment's P&E
output port and a powered device. See Figure 2-8.
Figure 2-8 P&E supply distance
Generally, the P&E supply distance depends on factors such as the powered device power
consumption, power sourcing equipment type, and the supply mode (forceful or negotiable
supply mode).
When an RTN power injector (PI) functions as the power sourcing equipment, it only couples
the GE signals and power signals, without regenerating or enhancing these signals. Therefore,
the length (L in Figure 2-8) of the network cable between the client-side device to the
powered device must not extend 100 meters.

2.5 MPLS and PWE3 Functions

The RTN 380 supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and pseudo wire emulation

2.14 Security Management

RTN 380 works with its network management system (NMS) to prevent unauthorized logins
and operations, ensuring equipment management security.
Overview of Hardware Security

RTN 380 uses the following hardware security measures:

l Microwave ports: The forward error correction (FEC) encoding mode is adopted and the
adaptive time-domain equalizer for baseband signals is used. This enables the microwave
ports to withstand strong interference. An interceptor cannot restore the content in a data
frame if coding details and service configurations are not obtained.
l Modular design: Control units are separated from service units, and service units are
separated from each other. In this manner, a fault on any unit can be isolated, minimizing
the impact of the fault on other units in the system.
l CPU flow control: The data flow sent to the CPU for processing is classified and
controlled to prevent CPU resources from being exhausted by a large number of packets.
This ensures that the CPU operates properly under attacks.
l Management port control: The protective cover for the maintenance compartment is kept
closed when the management port is not being used, preventing unauthorized access.
Overview of Software Security

RTN 380 processes two types of data: O&M data and service data. The two types of data are
transmitted over independent paths and do not affect each other. This enables services running
on an RTN 380 to be processed on two planes:
l Management plane
The management plane provides access to the required equipment and management
functions, such as managing accounts and passwords, communication protocols, and
alarm reporting. Security features on the management plane implement secure access,
integrated security management, and all-round security audits.
l Data plane
The data plane processes the service data flow entering the equipment and forwards
service packets according to the forwarding table. Security features on the data plane
ensure confidentiality and integration of user data by preventing malicious theft,
modification, and removal of user service packets. These features ensure reliable data
forwarding by protecting forwarding entries against malicious attacks and falsification.
Table 2-8 describes security functions provided by RTN 380.

using a key to prevent any illegal device access.
A user can create its own public and private keys on the U2000, loads the public key to a
device, and uses the private key for the NMS to authenticate the device. Once being loaded

with a public key, the device starts its anti-theft control function. The function stayed enabled
until the NMS uses its private key to unlock the device.
Anti-Theft Mechanism
l When data communication network (DCN) is available, you can manage the device anti-
theft function (that is, enable or disable the function) in an online manner by using the
U2000.
l When DCN is unavailable, you can manage the device anti-theft function (for example,
configure the warehouse-device anti-theft function) in an offline manner by using the
web LCT.
l For the main devices, two anti-theft measures are available: disallowing any
modification to the device configurations and restricting the air-interface bandwidth to 7
Mbit/s.
– After being stolen, a main device can continue to function for 7 days (the duration
can be specified to another value) and then its air-interface bandwidth will be
restricted to 7 Mbit/s, with DCN communication still available.
– After becoming unreachable to the U2000, a main device can continue to function
for 7 days, and then its air-interface bandwidth will be restricted to 7 Mbit/s. Once
its DCN communication recovers, its services automatically recover.
NOTE
l A device private key cannot be exported from the U2000, thereby ensuring the safety of the device
anti-theft function.
l Before deploying the device anti-theft function, ensure that two sets of U2000 are deployed at two
different places for mutual backup. If only one set of U2000 is deployed, all the devices will enter
the "stolen" state once the U2000 fails, interrupting all the services on the network.
2.16 Energy Saving

RTN 380 reduces the amount of energy consumed by using:
l Streamlined design with minimum components

l High-efficiency power modules
l Low-power components
l Energy conservation mode
In this mode, RTN 380 can shut down some clocks or decrease the internal sampling
frequency (only at the 250 MHz channel bandwidth currently) to decrease the module
power consumption.
NOTE
During a switch to the energy conservation mode, services may be interrupted and the service
delay increases.
2.17 Environmental Protection

RTN 380 is designed to meet or exceed environmental protection requirements. The product
complies with restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) and waste from electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) directives.

l RTN 380 complies with compulsory packing restrictions that limit the size of the
package containing the equipment and accessories to three times that of the equipment
dimensions.
l The product is designed for easy unpacking. In addition, all hazardous substances
contained in the package can decompose quickly.
l Every plastic component that weighs over 25 g is labeled according to the standards of
ISO 11469 and ISO 1043-1 to ISO 1043-4. All components and packages of the
equipment are provided with standard labels for recycling.
l Plugs and connectors are easy to find and can be operated using standard tools.
l All the accompanying materials (such as labels) are easy to remove. Certain types of
identifying information (such as silkscreens) are printed on the chassis.

5.4 Web-based NMS

A web-based NMS is a network maintenance terminal built in an NE.
When WLAN or a network cable is used to connect a PC to an NE with a web-based NMS
built in, you can access and manage the NE through IE9 or higher.
A PC connects to such an NE in either of the following two methods:
l Using a network cable
When a network cable is used, you can manage both the local and peer NEs.
l Using WLAN
When WLAN is used, you can manage only the local NE.

After a PC connects to such an NE, you can open the NE management page by entering the
NE's IP address on a browser (IE9 or higher).
The web-based NMS provides NE management, alarm management, performance
management, configuration management, communication management, and security
management. Figure 5-7 shows the management page.

signals.
l A unbalanced hybrid coupler splits one RF signal into two RF signals with different
power levels.The signal power on the standby path is about 6 dB lower than the signal
power on the main path.
NOTE
The same attenuation also exists in the transmit direction as that in the receive direction.

Hybrid couplers combine and divide RF signals.
Hybrid couplers have the following functions and features:
l In the transmit direction, a hybrid coupler combines two RF signal routes from two RTN
380s into one and transmits the signals to an antenna.
l In the receive direction, the hybrid coupler divides the RF signals received from the
antenna into two outputs and transmits the signals to RTN 380s.

7.3.3 Ports
A hybrid coupler has one antenna port, one main tributary port, and one extension tributary
port.

7.4 Antennas
Radio equipment uses antennas to emit and receive electromagnetic waves, and RTN 380
supports wide-beam antennas, parabolic antennas and flat antennas. Parabolic antennas are
also called dish antennas.
7.4.1 Types
RTN 380 supports dish antennas, flat antennas and wide-beam antennas.
Dish Antenna
Dish antennas are parabolic antennas. Figure 7-9 shows the appearance of a dish antenna.

Figure 7-9 Appearance of a dish antenna
Flat Antenna
Flat antennas are small in size but offers high efficiency. Figure 7-10 shows the appearance of
a flat antenna.
Figure 7-10 Appearance of a flat antenna

Wide-beam antennas
As network scale grows, the density of E-band microwave device deployment increases. Most
E-band microwave devices are mounted on lamp posts. The traditional E-band parabolic
antenna has a low anti-shake capability. Strong winds cause lamp posts to shake, which
prevents the alignment of antennas. As a consequence, microwave link performance
deteriorates, and services are interrupted.
Wide-beam antennas are usually used on pole-mounted sites, and have a high anti-shake
capability, mitigating the impact of lamp post shaking on microwave links. Figure 7-11 shows
the appearance of a wide-beam antenna.
Figure 7-11 Appearance of a wide-beam antenna
Based on feed ports, wide-beam antennas are classified into two types: vertically polarized
antennas and horizontally polarized antennas.

Antennas perform conversion between RF signals received from RTN 380s and
electromagnetic waves radiated in free space.
l In the transmit direction, antennas convert RF signals received from RTN 380s into
directional electromagnetic waves and emit these waves into free space.
l In the receive direction, antennas receive electromagnetic waves from free space, convert
these waves into RF signals, and transmit the RF signals to RTN 380s.
7.4.3 Working Principles (Dish Antenna and Wide-Beam

Antenna)
Similar to a dish antenna, a wide-beam antenna consists of a reflector, a feed, a radome, and a
mounting bracket.
Figure 7-12 shows the structure of an antenna.

Figure 7-12 Antenna structure

1. Feed 2. Reflector 3. Radome

4. Mounting bracket
The functions of each component of an antenna are described as follows:

l Feeds
A feed receives RF signals from an RTN 380 at its input port and transmits those signals
to its output port through its waveguide. Located at the focal spot of the reflector, the
output port of the feed is equivalent to a double reflector antenna and emits
electromagnetic waves towards the reflector.
You can rotate the feed to change the polarization direction of an antenna. Here,
polarization direction refers to the polarization direction of emitted electromagnetic
waves or the direction of an electrical field. Figure 7-13 shows the polarization
directions that rectangular waveguides support.

Figure 7-13 Polarization directions that rectangular waveguides support
Horizontal
polarization
Vertical
polarization
Direction of an electrical field
l Reflectors
Generally taking the form of rotatable paraboloids, antenna reflectors reflect
electromagnetic waves and increase directive gain.
– In the transmit direction, reflectors reflect the electromagnetic waves emitted from
feeds so the reflected electromagnetic waves are directional.
– In the receive direction, reflectors focus the electromagnetic waves from free space
to feeds' output ports.
l Radomes
Radomes protect antennas from being damaged by wind, rain, snow, or ice. Radomes do
not prevent electromagnetic waves from penetrating to the reflector.
l Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets are used to attach antennas onto poles and help achieve fine elevation
and azimuth adjustments.
7.4.4 Working Principles (Flat Antenna)

A flat antenna consists of the radome, array set, antenna backplane, adapter, and mounting
bracket.
Figure 7-14 shows the structure of a panel antenna.

4. Antenna backplane 5. Mounting bracket
The functions of each component of the antenna are described as follows:

l Adapter
The adapter is used to connect the antenna to the antenna port on OptiX RTN 380.
l Array set
The array set contains four radiation arrays and a power distributor.
Radiation array: A metal plate is cut out with arranged slots, each of which is a slot
antenna unit. The radiation array concentrates the electromagnetic waves absorbed by
slot antenna units and transmits the waves to the power distributor.
Power distributor: In the transmit direction, it distributes the power from OptiX RTN 380
to the four radiation arrays. In the receive direction, it combines the signals from the four
radiation arrays into one and sends the signal to OptiX RTN 380.
l Radome
Radome: It prevents the antenna against the wind, rain, ice, and snow. Electromagnetic
waves can be radiated through the radome.
l Antenna backplane
Antenna components are fixed onto the antenna backplane.

l Mounting bracket
The mounting bracket is used for securing the antenna onto the pole and for adjusting the
azimuth and elevation angles slightly.
7.4.5 Antenna Diameter

RTN 380 antennas of different types have different diameters.
Table 7-8 Antenna diameter

Type of Antenna Antenna Diameter
Dish antenna l 0.2 m

l 0.3 m
l 0.6 m
Wide-beam antenna 0.3 m x 0.077 m
Panel antenna 0.6 m

NOTE
The gain of a 0.6 m panel antenna is the same as
that of a 0.3 m dish antenna.

The technical specifications of antennas include electrical and mechanical specifications. The
electrical specifications of antennas include the antenna gain, half-power beamwidth, standing
wave ratio, and front-to-back ratio. The mechanical specifications of antennas include the
dimensions, weight, anti-wind capability, and anti-snow/ice capability.

7.5 USB Flash Drives

Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 380s is simple with USB flash drives, which store
NE data and new software to be installed and are also used to back up configuration data.
Functions and Features

USB flash drives prepared for RTN 380s store NE software and configuration data (including
databases, system parameters, and scripts).
l Software, patch packages, NE databases, and system parameters are backed up to USB
flash drives. This avoids the need to reconfigure data when replacing a RTN 380.
l Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives is imported to RTN 380s.
l Security features:
– The administrator accounts and passwords (encrypted) in the RTN.CER or
RTNEXTRA.CER file are used to authenticate USB flash drives.
– Other files in USB flash drives can be encrypted.

– The validity of files in USB flash drives can be verified.
Application Scenario
l For an upgrade or downgrade of an RTN 380, only the software of the target version is
stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning, the
RTN 380 compares the versions of the running software and the software stored on the
USB flash drive. If the versions are not the same, the RTN 380 automatically downloads
the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 380 replacement, a USB flash drive is inserted into a faulty device. After
authenticating the USB flash drive, the faulty device automatically backs up its data to
the drive. After the faulty device is replaced, the drive holding the backup data is
inserted into the new device, which automatically downloads the backup NE data,
software, and system parameters and restores the NE data.
Data uploading
A USB flash drive contains the following folders:
NOTE
The USB flash drive partition format is FAT32.
l The root directory stores an RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file and a USBSEC.CFG
file (security policy file).
NOTE
l The RTN.CER/RTNEXTRA.CER file, which stores administrator-level account and

password information (with password information encrypted), is used for authenticating the
USB flash drive. The file is generated by a system administrator at the network management
center (NMC) using a dedicated tool.
l The USBSEC.CFG file stores the list of available files in the USB flash drive and the
verification information and encryption parameters of each file. When the files in the USB
flash drive are being loaded to an NE, the NE verifies and decrypts the files based on the
USBSEC.CFG file. If a file is not in the file list in the USBSEC.CFG file or a file fails to be
verified or decrypted, the file cannot be used by the NE.
l pkg: stores the NE software.
Data is saved in the \pkg folder only when the NE software is upgraded. Otherwise, keep
the folder empty.
l patch: stores the patch software.

l sysdata: stores system parameters.
l script: stores scripts.
l db: stores NE databases.
l license: stores a license.
l devicetype: stores device type parameters.
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 380, the RTN 380 checks the folders on the
USB flash drive in the following order:

1. Checks for the RTN.CER or RTNEXTRA.CER file in the root directory. If the file
exists, the USB flash drive is authenticated. Otherwise, the USB flash drive fails to be
identified.
2. Checks the USBSEC.CFG file in the root directory, and verifies the integrity of files in
the USB flash drive and decrypts the files based on the USBSEC.CFG file.
3. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of
the local RTN 380, the RTN 380 upgrades its software.
4. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from
that of the local RTN 380, the RTN 380 loads the patch software from the folder.
5. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380
imports system parameters from the folder.
6. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380 imports script
data from the folder.
7. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\Devicetype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 380 loads the database from the
folder.
8. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 380 checks
the next folder. If the RTN 380 finds none of the preceding folders, it exports its data to
the USB flash drive.
Ensure that USB flash drives have only the preceding folders, as extra folders may lead to
malfunctions.
NOTE
A device reads data from a USB flash drive at different rates in different scenarios. The user can check
whether the device is reading data from a USB flash drive by observing the USB port or USB flash drive
indicator.
Types of USB Flash Drives

Table 7-9 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 380. Not all USB flash drives
are supported by RTN 380. If a USB flash drive of another model or capacity is required,
confirm with the local Huawei office that the USB flash drive is supported by RTN 380.

phone (such as Huawei 8815) is used and there is
no obstacle between the laptop/mobile phone and
NE. The actual transmission distance may vary
according to performance of the laptop or mobile
phone used.
70 m is obtained based on tests in which a laptop
works with an external WLAN network adapter
(such as Tenda W311U+) and there is no obstacle
between the laptop and NE. It is recommended
that an external WLAN network adapter with 18
dBm transmit power, -86 dBm receiver
sensitivity, and an antenna of more than 4.2 dBi
gain be used or an external WLAN network
adapter with better performance be used.

8.1 Outdoor Network Cables

Fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends, outdoor network cables connect to Ethernet ports.
The GE electrical ports of PIs support the medium dependent interface (MDI), MDI crossover
(MDI-X), and auto-MDI/MDI-X modes. Straight-through cables and crossover cables can be
used to connect the NMS ports and GE electrical ports to MDIs or MDI-Xs. Straight-through
cables are recommended if network cables are made onsite.

NOTE
l Straight-through cables are used between MDIs and MDI-Xs, and crossover cables are used between
MDIs or between MDI-Xs. The only difference between straight-through cables and crossover
cables is with regard to their pin assignments.
l Either straight-through cables or crossover cables can be used to connect RTN 380 to common
Ethernet equipment since Ethernet electrical ports support the MDI, MDI-X, and auto-MDI/MDI-X
modes. If RTN 380 connects to power sourcing equipment through a P&E port, pin assignments for
power signals output from the power sourcing equipment determines whether to use straight-through
cables or crossover cables.
l A network cable transmits power signals and Ethernet signals simultaneously. Therefore, the
impedance difference between cores of a network cable must be less than 5%; otherwise, Ethernet
service packets may be lost.
