OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 1 Product Introduction

1 Product Introduction

OptiX RTN 380AX (RTN 380AX for short) is a next-generation full-outdoor E-band
microwave transmission equipment.
The RTN 380AX is available in two types. One type of RTN 380AX uses the MXXI4 board
and supports only the P&E power supply mode. The other type of RTN 380AX uses the
MXXI4B board and supports two power supply modes: DC and P&E. If there is no difference
between these two types, these two types are normalized into RTN 380AX. If there are
differences between these types, the former is called RTN 380AX (P&E option) and the latter
is called RTN 380AX (P&E+DC option).
1.1 Network Positioning
The RTN 380AX can provide large-capacity backhaul microwave links or aggregation links
on a mobile communications network or a private network.
1.2 Specifications
RTN 380AX specifications meet the high bandwidth requirements in E-Band microwave
transmission. RTN 380AX also has unique advantages in maintenance capabilities.
1.3 Site Configurations
RTN 380AXs, which can be cascaded, are not only able to form 1+0 sites, but also 2+0 sites,
1+1 sites, XPIC sites and so on.

1.1 Network Positioning

The RTN 380AX can provide large-capacity backhaul microwave links or aggregation links
on a mobile communications network or a private network.
As E-band full outdoor radio equipment, the RTN 380AX has the following characteristics:
l The RTN 380AX 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
380AXs 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 380AX
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.
l As compact full outdoor radio equipment, the RTN 380AX 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.

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 1 Product Introduction

On a mobile communications network, RTN 380AXs are mainly used to:

l Support protection such as PLA and 1+1 HSB. Support XPIC. 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 Work with the CSG to provide a microwave channel solution for transparent
transmission on the IP RAN. See Figure 1-3.
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 1-4.
l Functions as the primary device to provide a full-outdoor Super Dual Band solution
through EPLA and the RTN 320/RTN 380A/380AX. With this solution, zero footprint is
achieved and large-bandwidth backhaul links can be easily deployed. This solution
applies to tail sites without outdoor cabinets or equipment rooms. See Figure 1-5 .
l Functions as the primary device to use with third parties' microwave links operating at
common frequency bands. The RTN 380AX can dispatch packets to third parties'
microwave links operating at the common frequency bands. In this way, old devices can
be reused to provide a Super Dual Band solution.

1+1 sites, XPIC sites and so on.

NOTE

For the two hardware types, the configuration of the RTN 380AX site is similar. This section uses the
RTN 380AX (P&E option) as an example to describe the configuration of various sites.

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 380AX is directly mounted on an antenna.

Figure 1-6 Typical 1+0 site configuration

1.3.2 2+0 Site Configuration

A 2+0 site provides two one-direction unprotected microwave links in the same RF direction.
At a 2+0 site, two RTN 380AXs are installed on a hybrid coupler, and the hybrid coupler is

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 1 Product Introduction

NOTE
At a 2+0 site, the hybrid coupler must be a balanced hybrid coupler.

Figure 1-7 Typical 2+0 site configuration for transmitting Ethernet services

1.3.3 1+1 Site Configuration

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
380AX supports only 1+1 hot standby (HSB) protection configuration.
At a 1+1 site, two RTN 380AXs 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 380AX and the other channel to the

protection RTN 380AX. The working and protection RTN 380AXs exchange 1+1 protection
protocol packets over a 1+1 cascade cable. See Figure 1-8.

Figure 1-8 Typical 1+1 site configuration using an optical splitter (only RTN 380AXs)

1+1 Site Configuration Using a LAG

Two RTN 380AXs can work with an RTN 900 or an LACP-supporting UNI-side device to
implement 1+1 protection. The two RTN 380AXs exchange 1+1 protection protocol packets
over a 1+1 cascade cable. When working with an OptiX RTN 900 IDU, each RTN 380AX
connects to an Ethernet port of the RTN 900 IDU with an outdoor network cable. See Figure
1-9.

Product Description 1 Product Introduction

Figure 1-9 Typical 1+1 site configuration using a LAG (RTN 380AXs working with an RTN
900 IDU)

NOTE

In 1+1 site configuration, two RTN 380AXs are cascaded through any Ethernet port.

1.3.4 XPIC Site

An XPIC site is a special 2+0 site. The two microwave links provided by an XPIC site operate
at the same frequency, but their polarization directions are orthogonal. The XPIC function is
used to cancel cross-polarization interference between the two microwave links.
XPIC configuration requires a dual-polarized antenna. Two RTN 380AXs are mounted on an
orthogonal mode transducer (OMT). The OMT can be directly mounted on an antenna. The
XPIC ports of the two RTN 380AXs are connected using an XPIC cable to transmit XPIC
signals, and Ethernet service ports are connected using an XPIC cascading cable to transmit
XPIC management signals and clock signals.
Generally, PLA is configured for the two RTN 380AXs at an XPIC site. In this manner, two
microwave links are aggregated to form a high-bandwidth logical Ethernet channel, protecting
the microwave links. The XPIC cascading cable can also be used as the PLA cascading cable.
In this case, you are advised to cascade 10GE ports.

2.17 Environmental Protection

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

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 2 Functions and Features

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 380AX has the following features:
l In enhanced mode, AM uses BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM,
128QAM, 256QAM, 512QAM, and 1024QAM modulation schemes.
In light mode, AM uses BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM,
256QAM, and 512QAM modulation schemes.
Because modulation schemes are different when different bandwidths apply, the
modulation ranges supported by the AM will be different.
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 BPSK, the
AM function downshifts the modulation scheme to BPSK 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 BPSK.
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 380AX supports the following shifts:

l When the channel bandwidth is 2000 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts from 2000 MHz
to 1000 MHz, and from 1000 MHz to 500 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 1500 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts from 1500 MHz
to 750 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 1000 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts 1000 MHz to 500
MHz and from 500 MHz to 250 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 500 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts from 500 MHz to
250 MHz and from 250 MHz to 125 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 250 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts from 250 MHz to
125 MHz and from 125 MHz to 62.5 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 125 MHz, RTN 380AX supports AC downshifts from 125 MHz to
62.5 MHz.
l When the channel bandwidth is 750 MHz, RTN 380AX does not support AC shifts.

2.2 Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) technology is used with co-channel dual-
polarization (CCDP) to double the microwave link capacity over the same channel.
CCDP transmission uses a horizontally polarized wave and a vertically polarized wave on a
single channel to transmit two channels of signals. Ideally, for CCDP transmission, there
should be no interference between the two orthogonal signals, even though they are of the
same frequency. In actual practice, despite the orthogonal nature of the two signals,
interference between the signals inevitably occurs due to cross-polarization discrimination
(XPD) of the antenna and channel degradation. To eliminate this interference, XPIC
technology is used to receive signals horizontally and vertically. The signals in the two
directions are then processed and the original signals are recovered from interfered signals.
Figure 2-2 shows the functional block diagram of a scenario where XPIC is used with CCDP.

Figure 2-2 CCDP channel configuration (with XPIC technology)

Each XPIC site requires two RTN 380AXs. The XPIC ports of these two devices are
connected using an XPIC cable to transmit XPIC signals, and the GE ports of these two
devices are connected using one cable to transmit XPIC management signals and clock
signals.

2.3 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 2-3 shows the relationship between the RSL and the transmit signal level (TSL).

2.4 Channel Configuration

The OptiX RTN 380AX 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 2-4.

Figure 2-4 ACCP

ACAP
ACAP allows signals to be transmitted over the horizontally polarized electromagnetic wave
and vertically polarized electromagnetic wave on two adjacent channels. See Figure 2-5.

2.5 Power over Ethernet

The RTN 380AX provides a P&E port through which the RTN 380AX 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 380AX can work with a power injector (PI) to implement P&E through its P&E port.
See Figure 2-7.

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 2 Functions and Features

Figure 2-7 Working with a PI

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.

2.15 Security Management

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

Overview of Hardware Security

RTN 380AX 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 380AX 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 380AX 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

Each optical module has a mapping relationship. Mixed use of optical modules may cause
alarms, bit errors, or link disconnection.

Two-fiber bidirectional optical modules are paired with the same BOM code.

For single-fiber bidirectional optical modules, 34060546-001 and 34060544-001 must be

paired.

COMBO1&2 port
The COMBO1&2 port is compatible with the SFP/SFP+ and DSFP modules.

When the COMBO1&2 port uses the SFP/SFP+ module, it serves only as one port and
supports the same module types as the 10GE port.

The DSFP module is a single-mode single-fiber module that has two transmit channels and
two receive channels. It supports two optical channels at the same time. Compared with the
SFP/SFP+ optical module, the DSFP module improves the port density and increases the
number of ports without replacing the device. This facilitates network expansion and upgrade.

6.4 Antennas
Radio equipment uses antennas to emit and receive electromagnetic waves, and RTN 380AX
supports wide-beam antennas, parabolic antennas and flat antennas. Parabolic antennas are
also called dish antennas.

6.4.1 Types
RTN 380AX supports dish antennas, flat antennas and wide-beam antennas.

Dish Antenna
Dish antennas are parabolic antennas. Figure 6-9 shows the appearance of a dish antenna.

Figure 6-10 Appearance of a flat antenna

Issue 02 (2019-09-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 99

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 6 Accessories

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 6-11 shows
the appearance of a wide-beam antenna.

Figure 6-11 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.

6.4.2 Functions and Features

Antennas perform conversion between RF signals received from RTN 380AXs and
electromagnetic waves radiated in free space.

l In the transmit direction, antennas convert RF signals received from RTN 380AXs 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 380AXs.

6.4.3 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 6-12 shows the structure of an antenna.

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 380AX 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 6-13 shows the polarization
directions that rectangular waveguides support.

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 6 Accessories

Figure 6-13 Polarization directions that rectangular waveguides support

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.

6.4.4 Working Principles (Flat Antenna)

A flat antenna consists of the radome, array set, antenna backplane, adapter, and mounting
bracket.
Figure 6-14 shows the structure of a panel antenna.

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 RTN 380AX.
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 RTN 380AX 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 RTN 380AX.
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.

6.5 USB Flash Drives

Configuring, replacing, and upgrading RTN 380AXs 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 380AXs 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 380AX.
l Software of target versions stored in USB flash drives is imported to RTN 380AXs.
l Security features:
– The administrator accounts and passwords (encrypted) in the [Link] or
[Link] 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 380AX, only the software of the target version
is stored on a USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is plugged in and functioning,

Issue 02 (2019-09-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 104

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 6 Accessories

the RTN 380AX 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 380AX automatically
downloads the software from the USB flash drive for an upgrade or downgrade.
l During RTN 380AX 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 [Link]/[Link] file and a [Link]
file (security policy file).
NOTE

l The [Link]/[Link] 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 [Link] 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
[Link] file. If a file is not in the file list in the [Link] 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 devtype: stores device type parameters.
When a USB flash drive is connected to an RTN 380AX, the RTN 380AX checks the folders
on the USB flash drive in the following order:
1. Checks for the [Link] or [Link] 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 [Link] file in the root directory, and verifies the integrity of files in
the USB flash drive and decrypts the files based on the [Link] file.
3. Checks the NE software folder pkg. If the NE software version is different from that of
the local RTN 380AX, the RTN 380AX upgrades its software.

Issue 02 (2019-09-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 105

OptiX RTN 380AX Radio Transmission System
Product Description 6 Accessories

4. Checks the patch software folder patch. If the patch software version is different from
that of the local RTN 380AX, the RTN 380AX loads the patch software from the folder.
5. Checks the system parameter folder sysdata. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380AX
imports system parameters from the folder.
6. Checks the script folder script. If the folder contains data, the RTN 380AX imports
script data from the folder.
7. Checks the database folder db. If the folder contains data and the device type under
\devtype is the same as the NE device type, the RTN 380AX loads the database from the
folder.
8. If any of the preceding folders contains no data or does not exist, the RTN 380AX
checks the next folder. If the RTN 380AX 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 6-8 lists the types of USB flash drives supported by RTN 380AX. Not all USB flash
