6. Network Position
The OptiX RTN 900 is a new generation split microwave transmission system developed by Huawei. It
can provide a seamless microwave transmission solution for a mobile communication network or
private network.
The OptiX RTN 900 products are available in two types: OptiX RTN 910 and OptiX RTN 950. The IDU
of the OptiX RTN 910 is 1U high and supports one or two IF boards. The IDU of the OptiX RTN 950 is
2U high and supports one to six IF boards. The users can choose an appropriate type based on the
actual requirements.
The OptiX RTN 900 provides several types of service interfaces and facilitates installation and flexible
configuration. It can provide a solution that is integrated with the TDM microwave, Hybrid microwave,
and Packet microwave based on the network requirements. It supports the smooth upgrade from the
TDM microwave to the Hybrid microwave, and from the Hybrid microwave to the Packet microwave.
The solution can evolve based on the service changes that occur due to radio mobile network
evolution. Thus, this solution can meet the transmission requirements of not only 2G and 3G networks,
but also future LTE and 4G networks.
RTN 900 V1R1 support pure packet microwave, and RTN 900 V1R2 support TDM microwave and
Hybrid microwave.

The working principle and signal flow of
the Packet microwave IF signals are
similar to the working principle and signal
flow of the Hybrid microwave IF signals.
The only difference is with regard to the
frame structure. In the case of the Packet
microwave, the MUX/DEMUX unit only
multiplexes/demultiplexes the packet
services and does not transmit the TDM
services to the cross-connect unit or
receive the TDM services from the cross-

The EM6T provides two GE electrical interfaces whereas the EM6F uses the SFP optical modules to provide two GE optical or electrical interfaces. The GE electrical interfaces are compatible with the FE electrical interfaces. Supports the setting and query of the working modes of the Ethernet interfaces. The supported working modes are as follows: Supports the addition, deletion, and switching of IEEE 802.1q/802.1p-compliant VLAN tags, and forwards packets based on the VLAN tags. Supports the setting and query of the tag attributes of the Ethernet interfaces. The following three TAG attributes are available: tag aware, access, and hybrid. Accesses Ethernet II and IEEE 802.3 service frames with the maximum frame length ranging from 1518 to 9600 bytes. Supports Jumbo frames with the maximum frame length of 9600 bytes. Supports the port-based flow control function that complies with IEEE 802.3x. Supports the link state pass through (LPT) function. Supports the link aggregation group (LAG) function. Supports the Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS).
The ALS function is described as follows: After detecting that the R_LOS alarm persists over the receive port for 500 ms, the optical module automatically shuts down the laser of the transmit port. The laser changes to emit alternative laser pulses. The laser pulses are emitted for 2s after a 60s interval. After the R_LOS alarm is cleared, the laser is recovered to normal and emits light continuously.
