About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM

What is the HotWire 8600 DSLAM?

The HotWire 8600 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which can be installed in the Central Office (CO) or at a customer location adjacent to the CO, is a low start-up cost alternative to the HotWire 8800 DSLAM chassis. Through the use of Digital Subscriber Line technology, DSLAM provides simultaneous high-speed data access (digital) and POTS service (analog) over the same twisted-pair telephone line. Support of this simultaneous access requires the installation of POTS splitter equipment at both ends of the line (i.e., at the Central Office and at the customer premises).

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM can be configured to operate with multiple types of endpoints installed at the customer end of the telephone loop to allow users at remote locations to access Internet Service Providers or corporate networks by means of the DSLAM.

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM consists of the following components:

 HotWire 8600 DSLAM base chassis

HotWire 8600 DSLAM is a three-slot chassis designed to house one Management Communications Controller (MCC) card in the first slot and up to two DSL cards in the remaining slots. Since the MCC card in the 8600 system can provide management connectivity for up to five other 8600 DSLAMs, these other systems can use the first slot for a DSL card, thus housing up to three DSL cards.

 One Management Communications Controller (MCC) card

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM requires one MCC card mounted in Slot 1 of the base, or first, chassis in a stack. The MCC card is a processor card that administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to DSL cards in from one to six 8600 DSLAMs. It acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction with an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenView, via its LAN port. It gathers operational status for each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests. It also supports a serial port for local terminal access.

 At least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) card

The 8600 DSLAM requires at least one DSL card. Each DSL card contains four DSL ports, Ethernet interface circuitry, and a processor. The processor controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet and DSL interfaces.

NOTE:

You must order the MCC and DSL cards separately. They are not provided with the chassis.

About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM

HotWire 8600 DSLAM Features

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM system has the following features:

 Power Redundancy

Two versions of the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis are available:

— ac power — dc power

The ac version can also be connected to a dc source to provide power redundancy. When using the dc version, two separate dc sources may be employed to provide power redundancy. If one power source fails, the other source provides all of the power needed by the system. This is done automatically without system disruption.

The dc version requires a source of –48 Vdc, while the ac version will operate from 100 to 250 volts ac, 50 to 60 Hz.

 Front-Facing Interface Connections

The interface connections on the front of the chassis allows all interface cables to be connected and maintained in the front of the chassis for easy accessibility.

 Stackable Chassis for DSL Access Growth

Each chassis is an independent, standalone system. The stackable design provides for six systems to share management access through a single MCC card which, in turn, allows an additional slot for a DSL card in each of up to five additional systems. In a stacked configuration, the first or base chassis is equipped with an MCC card in Slot 1 leaving Slots 2 and 3 available for up to two DSL cards, or a maximum of eight DSL ports.

Each additional system will accept up to three DSL cards for a maximum of 12 additional DSL ports.

A HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis can be added or removed from the stack without disrupting service to the other items in the stack.

The base system is electrically connected to additional systems by connecting the 8-pin modular expansion cable provided from the OUT port of the base chassis to the IN port of the next chassis in the stack.

 Hot Swappable Cards

The MCC and DSL cards can be installed and removed from the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis without service disruption. You can replace a card without powering down the chassis and disrupting service to the other cards.

 Primary Network Management Support via SNMP

SNMP management of the DSL cards is accomplished over a single Ethernet connection to the MCC card from a Network Management System (NMS) (such as Paradyne’s DCE Manager for HP OpenView). The MCC card gathers all management information for each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests on behalf of the cards.

Pre-installation Considerations

Consider the following before performing installation of the 8600 chassis:

 Installation Site

Your installation site should be well-ventilated, clean, and free of environmental extremes. If you are installing the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis in a Central Office rack, make sure there is 2 to 3 feet of clearance at the front of the rack in which the 8600 chassis is to be installed to allow access for the installation of the chassis, circuit cards, and cables.

 Power

The ac power version requires a power source of 100 – 250 Vac @ 50 – 60 Hz; maximum current draw is 3 amps @ 110 Vac.

The dc power version requires a –48 Vdc power source (–40.0 to –60.0 Vdc; maximum current draw is 2 amps). The size of power source wires must be between 14 AWG and 18 AWG, and can be either solid or stranded. However, 16 AWG stranded wire is recommended.

Installing and Connecting the Hardware

 Grounding

A ground lug is located at the center of the cover at the rear. It accepts 14 AWG wire.

A non-insulated banana jack is located at the left front side of the unit to provide a ground for the ESD wrist strap plug.

 Stacking

Up to three 8600 chassis may be physically stacked safely on top of each other. However, for stacks of more than three, start a second stack or mount in a 19- or 23-inch rack. Contact your sales representative for ordering information.

 Cabling

The following customer-provided cables and cable adapters are required with this product:

— Plug-ended Telco 50-pin cable for connection from the HotWire 8600

DSLAM Line ports to the CO POTS splitter shelf or MDF.

Installing the MCC Card

Use a small- to medium-size flat-blade screwdriver to install the MCC card.

NOTE:

All standalone 8600 chassis (i.e., chassis that are not daisy-chained to other HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis) require an MCC card, but only the base chassis of a multi-system stack requires an MCC card.

Do not discard filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a circuit card or a filler plate to maintain the required EMI shielding and to prevent air leakage from the forced air cooling. Air leakage could result in overheating which may cause the power to the circuit cards to be shut off. Store all unused filler plates in a safe place. You may need to use the filler plates to cover open slots in the chassis at a later time.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the

496-15104

proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service representative.

 Procedure

To install the MCC card in the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis:

1. Remove the filler plate from Slot 1 by unscrewing the mounting screws at each end.

2. Hold the MCC card horizontally with the components on top and insert it into the left and right card guides of Slot 1 of the base chassis.

3. Carefully slide the MCC card into the slot. Gently, but firmly, push the card until it engages its mating connectors on the backplane.

4. Press on the right side of the MCC’s front panel with one hand and on the back of the 8600 chassis with the other until the MCC’s connector seats in its mating connector.

5. Make sure the OK SYSTEM indicator on the MCC faceplate is ON (green). if not, refer to Chapter 4,

6. Secure the MCC card by fastening the screws on each end of the faceplate.

Troubleshooting

NOTE:

The MCC card may be replaced without disruption to user data (i.e., you can remove and re-install the MCC card without powering down the 8600 chassis and disrupting service to the other cards). To remove the MCC card from the base chassis, unfasten the screws on both ends of the faceplate. Then, simply push the ejector handles outward and slide the card out.

When swapping the old MCC card with a new MCC card, it is important to note that the 8600 chassis DSLAM retains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, also referred to as the physical address. This means that the new MCC card will have the same MAC address as the old one.

Installing DSL Cards

Use a small- to medium-size flat-blade screwdriver to install the DSL card.

NOTE:

The 8600 chassis are shipped with filler plates in Slots 1, 2, and 3. If the slot where the DSL is to be installed has a filler plate, it must be removed.

 Use only CAT3 or better twisted-pair network connection cables for DSL

Termination Unit connections and interface patch cabling. Untwisted analog cables of any length anywhere in the loop substantially contribute to crosstalk and reduced loop reach.

 Make sure the main bundle of the loop is standard twisted-pair voice cable

(CAT3).

 For multiple DSL circuits in the same main bundle, choose non-adjacent wire

pairs whenever possible.

 Use only non-conditioned loops (no load coils, echo suppression, etc.)  Eliminate any non-twisted cable from the loop.  Always keep TIP and RING in the same twisted-cable pair.

Technical Specifications

Specifications Criteria

Power Two versions of the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis

are available: an ac power version and a dc power version.

The ac version can be connected to a dc source to provide power redundancy . With the dc version, two separate dc sources may be employed to provide power redundancy .

The ac version accepts ac power (100 – 250V, 50 – 60 Hz) and converts it to dc power. The maximum current draw is less than 1.75 amps, or 75 watts @ 1 10 Vac. At maximum configuration with 3 DSL cards, the system will not exceed 85 watts of power dissipation.

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis dc version operates from a standard –48 Vdc power supply (–40.0 to – 60.0 Vdc). The maximum current draw is 2 amps. At maximum configuration with 3 DSL cards, the system will not exceed 75 watts of power dissipation.

Each power version distributes –48 Vdc power from the power source to individual cards via the backplane.

Grounding A ground lug is located at the rear of the HotWire

8600 DSLAM at the center. It accepts 14 AWG wire.

A non-insulated banana jack is located at the left front of the 8600 DSLAM providing a ground for the ESD wrist strap plug.

Cooling and Air Handling The internal fan module is installed in the chassis

to provide cooling. A built-in feature shuts off power to the circuit

cards if a chassis overheats because of fan failure. If the temperature in the chassis reaches 70°C, power to the cards in the chassis is turned off automatically. Power is turned on when the temperature drops below 60°C.

Operating Environment

Ambient Temperature: 32° to 122° F (0° to 50°C) Relative Humidity: 15% to 90% non-condensing Shock and vibration sufficient to withstand normal

shipping

IP includes the ICMP control and error message protocol as an integral part. The entire protocol suite is often referred to as TCP/IP because TCP and IP are the two most fundamental protocols.

Internet Protocol Address. A 32-bit address assigned to a host on a TCP/IP network. The address has a host component and a network component.

Local Area Network. Light-emitting diode. A light or status indicator on the chassis and the card faceplates that

glows in response to the presence of a certain condition (e.g., a fan alarm). The set of variables a gateway running SNMP maintains. Standard, minimal MIBs have

been defined, and vendors often have private-enterprise MIBs. In theory , any SNMP manager can talk to any SNMP agent with a properly defined MIB. MIB-II refers to an extended management database that contains variables not shared by SNMP.

Management Communications Controller card. The MCC card is a powerful processor card that works in conjunction with an SNMP network management system, such as DCE Manager for HP OpenView , to gather operational status for each of the DSL cards in the chassis (or stack).

MIB Release 2 is the current Internet-standard MIB.
