Hotwire DSLAM System Description
1-5
8000-A2-GB26-10
January 1999
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, see the
Hotwire Management Communications Controller
(MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User’s Guide.
RADSL or MVL Card
The chassis requires at least one RADSL or MVL card, which is a circuit card that
contains four RADSL or MVL ports, an Ethernet interface to the Internet Service
Provider (ISP), and a processor/packet forwarder. The processor/packet
forwarder controls the endpoints and forwards the packet traffic via the Ethernet
and RADSL or MVL interfaces. When the 8600 DSLAM chassis is fully populated
with 5 expansion chassis, it provides a total of 68 RADSL or MVL modem ports.
When the 8800 or 8810 DSLAM chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of
72 RADSL or MVL modem ports.
