Note:
The EIF2/RF/6 interface in FSMF is set to Ethernet transport mode by default. To use it as a
RP3-01 port the enableRP301Interface parameter value has to be changed to 1 (TRUE). It can be
done during TRS commissioning, Physical Layer Configuration, by ticking “Enable FSM EIF2 as
RP3-01 interface” check box.

The EIF5/RF/6 interface in FSIH is set to Ethernet transport mode by default. To use it as a RP3-
01 port the enableRP301Interface parameter value has to be changed to 1 (TRUE). It can be
done during TRS commissioning, Physical Layer Configuration, by ticking “Enable FSM EIF2 as

Another Example:
For a 2 + 2 (dual carrier) LTE-configuration with 5 + 20 MHz bandwidth and 2TX/2RX, the total
amount of data produced would be 2 x ~0.74 Gbps + 2 x 2.95 Gbps = 7.4 Gbps.2 x 6 Gbps RP3-
links are needed (5 + 20 MHz possible in RF-HW-release with 6 Gbps support only).

 ABIC works for TDD-LTE massive MIMO only till SRAN20B. So it’s not discussed in this sub-
module.

ABIA works for both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE, using or not using massive MIMO. In this sub-
module we discuss FDD-LTE configurations without massive MIMO only.
FDD-LTE configuration with massive MIMO and TDD-LTE configurations with and without
massive MIMO will be introduced in the next sub-modules.

ABIA goes with ASIA and ASIB. In this diagram ASIA is illustrated.
