GLI3 Ethernet “A” and “B” Connections

These BNC connectors are located on the C-CCP backplane and routed

to the GLI3 board. This interface provides all the control and data

communications between the master GLI3 and the other GLI3, between

gateways, and for the LMF on the LAN.

BBX2 Connector

Each BBX connector consists of a Harting 2SU/1SU digital connector

and two 6-conductor coaxial connectors. These connectors provide DC,

digital, and RF inputs/outputs for the BBXs in the C-CCP backplane.

CIO Connectors

 RX RF antenna path signal inputs are routed through RX Tri-Filters

(on the I/O plate), and via coaxial cables to the two MPC modules -

the six “A” (main) signals go to one MPC; the six “B” (diversity) to

the other. The MPC outputs the low-noise-amplified signals via the

C-CCP backplane to the CIO where the signals are split and sent to

the appropriate BBX.

 A digital bus then routes the baseband signal through the BBX, to the

backplane, then on to the MCC slots.

 Digital TX antenna path signals originate at the MCC24s. Each

output is routed from the MCC slot via the backplane appropriate

BBX.

 TX RF path signal originates from the BBX, through the backplane to

the CIO, through the CIO, and via multi-conductor coaxial cabling to

the LPAs in the LPA shelf.

C-CCP Backplane Troubleshooting Procedure

The following table provides a standard procedure for troubleshooting

problems that appear to be related to a defective C-CCP backplane. The

table is broken down into possible problems and steps which should be

taken in an attempt to find the root cause.

NOTE

It is important to note that all steps be followed before replacing

ANY C-CCP backplane.

Digital Control Problems

No GLI3 Control via LMF (all GLI3s)

Follow the procedure in Table 6-16 for problems with GLI3 control.

Table 6-16: No GLI3 Control via LMF (all GLI3s)

Step Action

1 Check the ethernet for proper connection, damage, shorts, or opens.

2 Verify C-CCP backplane Shelf ID DIP switch is set correctly.

3 Visually check the master GLI3 connector (both board and backplane) for damage.

4 Replace the master GLI3 with a known good GLI3.
