Classifications of SubracksClassifications of Subracks
Subracks
Based on functions, subracks are classified into the main processing subrack (MPS), extended processing subrack (EPS), and transcoder subrack (TCS).
MPSAs the main processing subrack, the MPS is configured in the MPR. Only one MPS is configured in the BSC6900. The MPS processes the basic services of the BSC6900, performs operation and maintenance, and provides clock signals for the system.
EPSAs the extended processing subrack, the EPS is configured in the MPR or EPR. It processes the basic services of the BSC6900.
TCSAs the transcoder subrack, the TCS is configured in the MPR, EPR, or TCR in BM/TC separated configuration mode. It performs transcoding, rate adaptation, and sub-multiplexing.

Bit Description
1-5 Bits 1 to 5 are used for setting the subrack number. Bit 1 is the least significant bit. If the bit is set to ON, it indicates 0. If the bit is set to OFF, it indicates 1.
6 Odd parity check bit
7 Reserved, undefined, generally set to ON
8 (the most significant bit)
Reserved
Principle of the DIP Switch SettingAs the DIP switch uses odd parity check, the number of 1s in the eight bits must be an odd number. The method for setting the bits is as follows: 1. Set bit 1 to bit 5 as required.2. Set bit 7 to ON.3. Check the number of 1s in the seven bits of the DIP switch. Note that the setting of bit 8 remains unchanged.
• If the number of 1s is even, set bit 6 to OFF.• If the number of 1s is odd, set bit 6 to ON.
