Hotwire DSL System Description

MCC Card
The DSLAM and GranDSLAM chassis require one MCC card, which is a
processor card that administers and provides management 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 chassis. The following MCC cards are used in
the Hotwire chassis:

All references to MCC cards in this document refer to the MCC, MCC Plus
and MCP cards, unless specifically noted otherwise.
RADSL Cards
In addition to an MCC card, the chassis requires at least one DSL card, such as
an 8540 or 8546 RADSL card. These circuit cards contain RADSL 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 interfaces.
