Hotwire DSL System Description

What is the Hotwire DSL System?

The Hotwire® Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system is a set of central site products that terminate and consolidate packet data traffic from many customers in a serving area. The DSL card(s) then forwards the traffic to one or more network access provider networks.

High-speed Internet and intranet access is either bridged or routed on the DSL line cards and multiplexed over backbone networks. By enabling very high speeds using DSL technology and concentrating Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, greater performance is realized.

In addition, the Hotwire GranDSLAM, with an endpoint such as a 6310 Multiple Virtual Lines (MVL co-exist with plain old telephone service (POTS) over the same copper telephone line, providing simultaneous usage of POTS and digital applications. That is, the optional central office (CO) POTS splitter and customer premises POTS filter allow simultaneous voice and data connections over a standard telephone line.

Hotwire DSL System Components

The DSL system consists of a chas si s that hou ses a Manage men t Communications Controller (MCC) card and up to 18 DSL cards. The Hotwire 8620 and 8820 GranDSLAM chassis can also house a Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) card, depending on the application. See the

Concentration Module (SCM) Card User’s Guide

NOTE:

All references to MCC cards in this document refer to the MCC, MCP and MCC Plus cards, unless specifically noted otherwise.

DSL Cards

DSL cards is a generic term used in this document for a variety of types of line cards.

DSL line cards with an Ethernet uplink consist of the following:

SCM Card

The Shelf Concentration Module (SCM) card aggregates DSL traffic for the Hotwire 8620 and 8820 and GranDSLAM chassis. The operation and configuration of this card is not within the scope of this document. See the

Concentration Module (SCM) Card User’s Guide

DSL Chassis

DSL cards can reside in four types of chassis:



8600/8610 DSLAM

A 3-slot chassis with Ethernet uplink. The stackable design provides for up to six chassis 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 chassis. The 8610 DSLAM chassis offers the same benefits as the 8600 chassis, with the added capability of accepting high-density DSL cards (5–25 ports) such as the 8312 ReachDSL/MVL card. Management access is through the Management Communications Processor (MCP) card. For more information, see either the

A 20-slot chassis with Ethernet uplink. These chassis are designed to house up to eighteen DSL cards and one MCC card. (The remaining slot is reserved for the future use of a redundant MCC card.) The Hotwire 8810 DSLAM chassis is a higher density carrier for use with high-density line cards such as the 8312 ReachDSL/MVL card, as well as lower density cards (4 ports or less).

1. Hotwire DSL System Description

The DSL cards interoperate with the following types of Hotwire Service Nodes (SNs)/endpoints to deliver applications at high speeds in support of packet services over a DSL link:



The 8310 MVL card interoperates with the Hotwire 6310 MVL SN. The 8312/8314 ReachDSL/MVL cards interoperate with the Hotwire 6310 MVL SN and the 6350 ReachDSL SN, as well as with the 6351 ReachDSL Router. The 8312/8314 cards running version 3.1 software will only interoperate with a 6310 SN running 3.1 software. The 8312/8314 cards running version 2.1 software will interoperate with a 6310 SN running either version 2.1 or 3.1 software.



The 8510/8373/8374 RADSL cards interoperate with the Hotwire 5620 RADSL SN and the 6371 RADSL DSL Router SN.



The 8303/8304 IDSL cards interoperate with the Hotwire 6301/6302 IDSL Router SNs.



The 8343/8344 SDSL cards interoperate with the Hotwire 6341/6342 DSL Router SNs.

Monitoring the DSL Cards

The Hotwire DSL software provides menu options to monitor the activity of the Hotwire DSL cards. The monitoring screens allow you to:



List the status of active ports and interfaces in a card, as well as display statistics about the physical layers and interfaces.





Display information about the Client, ARP, and Virtual Network Identifiers (VNIDs).



Display endpoint information about DSL ports such as Service Node type, system name, system contact, and system location. Model and serial number, along with firmware and hardware revisions, are also shown.

Use the monitoring screens to help you gather pertinent information and isolate potential problem areas. You can monitor the system with either Administrator or Operator permission. For more information about monitoring the system, see

Chapter 4,

Monitoring the Hotwire DSL System.

1. Hotwire DSL System Description

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

The Hotwire DSL system provides DSL diagnostic menu options, for example, that:

Status Line

is the last line of each user interface screen that contains status information for the port card currently selected. Status information is the same as what is reported on the card selection screens, including the following:

— Chassis type (8810, etc.) — Interface type (DSL, etc.) — Number of interfaces (01–24, depending on number of ports available for

selected card)

— Status of each interface

For cards with more than 12 ports, the following two lines will alternately appear each time the screen is refreshed:

Levels of Access

2. Hotwire Menus and Screens

There are two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system. Your user accounts can be configured with a user name, password, and privilege of:



Administrator

system. With Administrator permission, you can set specific parameters and variables to configure cards, ports, interfaces, VNID bridging, and endpoint selection.



Operator

information and monitor performance but has no configuration menu access or modification permission.

The default access is no login and password with Administrator status. To provide login security to the DSL system, user accounts must be configured.

. The Administrator has complete read/write access to the DSL

. The Operator has read-only access and can view configuration

NOTE:

There must be at least one Administrator configured in order to have system security.

For information on configuring user accounts, see the

Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User’s Guide.

User Login Screen

You can log in to the Hotwire DSL system using either a local VT100-compatible terminal or a remote Telnet connection. However, the Hotwire DSL system accepts only one login session at a time.

At the User Login screen, enter your login ID and password. You must wait until your login is verified, anywhere from two seconds to 12 minutes. If you have RADIUS Authentication, this verification takes some time while each RADIUS server is contacted one at a time.

If you are denied access during a T elnet session, the session stops and an error is logged. If you are using a console, return to the User Login screen.

Hotwire Management

NOTE:

The User Login screen only appears if one or more users have been defined on the MCC.

NOTE:

If you forget your password, contact your Technical Service Center. Have the serial number of the MCC card available, and the service representative will provide you with a password.

8000-A2-GB26-50 April 2001

2-5

2. Hotwire Menus and Screens

NOTE:

The login ID and password are case-sensitive; that is, the system recognizes both upper- and lowercase letters. For example, if you enter your user name and password information in uppercase letters and your assigned user name and password are in upper- and lowercase letters, the system will not let you log in.

After entering your login ID and password, the system displays the Hotwire Chassis Main Menu.

Hotwire Menu Hierarchy

This section describes the menu structure of the Hotwire user interface.

NOTE:

The Hotwire menu for the line cards with an ATM Network interface (used in conjunction with the SCM card) has a few differences from the other DSL port card menus. For example, the menu for line cards with an ATM Network interface will show SAR Statistics while other line cards will show Ethernet Statistics for menu selection
