Hotwire DSLAM System Description
1-5
8000-A2-GB26-00
May 1998
H One Management Communications Controller (MCC) card
The chassis requires one MCC card, which is a processor card that
administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to the DSL cards. It acts as
a mid-level manager and works in conjunction with a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) system, such as Paradyne’s OpenLanet
DCE Manager for HP OpenView, via its LAN port. It gathers operational
status for each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests. It also
has a serial port for a local user interface to the DSLAM.
For more information about the Hotwire MCC card, see the
Hotwire
Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative,
User’s Guide.
H At least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or Multiple Virtual Lines
(MVL) card
The chassis requires at least one DSL or MVL card, which is a circuit card
that contains four RADSL or MVL modem ports, an Ethernet interface to the
Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a processor/packet forwarder. The
processor/packet forwarder controls the modems and forwards the packet
traffic via the Ethernet and DSL or MVL interfaces. When the 8600 DSLAM
chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of 68 RADSL or MVL modem
ports. When the 8800 DSLAM chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of
72 RADSL or MVL modem ports.
