HotWire DSLAM System Description

What is the HotWire DSLAM?
The HotWire Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a DSL platform, which houses 18 DSL cards (8540 DSL cards, 8546 DSL cards, or a combination of both). The DSLAM interoperates with multiple types of HotWire Remote Termination Units (RTU) to deliver applications at multimegabit speed in support of packet services over a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) link.
The 8540 DSL card interoperates with the following HotWire RTUs:
1
5170 RTU 5171 Remote PC Network Interface Card (NIC) 5216 5246 RTU
The 8546 DSL card interoperates with the following HotWire RTU:
5446 RTU
High-speed service traffic types from the DSL links are groomed and then concentrated for efficient forwarding to backbone routers. By enabling very high speeds using DSL technology and then concentrating Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, greater performance is realized. Backbone service nodes can be placed deeper into the network, dramatically improving the economics of service provisioning while taking advantage of the substantial speed increases of DSL.
In addition, the HotWire DSLAM with a HotWire RTU can be multiplexed with Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) over the same copper line providing simultaneous usage of POTS and digital applications. That is, the optional POTS splitters (HotWire 5020 Central Office POTS Splitter and HotWire 5030 or 5034 Customer Premises POTS Splitter) allow simultaneous voice and data connections over a standard telephone line.
8000-A2-GB20-20
The following illustration shows a typical HotWire configuration connection using either an 8540 or 8546 DSL card in the DSLAM to a HotWire 5170, 5171, 5216, 5246, or 5446 RTU.

The HotWire DSLAM system consists of the following components:
HotWire DSLAM chassis
There are two types of chassis:
— Each HotWire 8600 DSLAM is an independent, standalone system. The
stackable design provides for up to six systems to share management access through a single Management Communications Controller (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, must contain an MCC card in Slot 1. In addition to the MCC card, the base chassis can house up to two DSL cards. Each additional chassis in the stack houses up to three DSL cards.

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 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.
97-15280
8000-A2-GB20-20
At least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) card
The chassis requires at least one DSL card, which is a circuit card that contains four Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) modem ports, an Ethernet interface to the ISP, and a processor/packet forwarder. The processor/packet forwarder controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic via the Ethernet and DSL interfaces. When the 8600 DSLAM chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of 68 RADSL modem ports. When the 8800 DSLAM chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of 72 RADSL modem ports.

There are two levels of privileges on the HotWire DSLAM system. Your user accounts can be configured with a user name, password, and privilege of:
Administrator, giving you access to all of the features of the system including
configuration options, or
Operator, giving you read-only access.
The default access is no login and password with administrator status. To provide login security to the DSLAM, user accounts must be configured. See
Configuration Users Screens
Operator Login Screen
You can log into the HotWire DSLAM system using either a local VT100­compatible terminal or a remote Telnet connection. However, the HotWire DSLAM system accepts only one login session at a time.

NOTE:
Interfaces are sometimes referred to as ports. The term usually is reserved for referring to the physical layer attributes of an interface.
e1a — Interface name of the DSLAM system 10BaseT interface on the MCC
and DSL cards.
s1b — Interface name of the MCC and DSL card’s interface to the DSLAM
system backplane bus.
s1c, s1d, s1e, and s1f — Interface names of the four DSL ports on a DSL
card.
NOTE:
These names are used throughout the remainder of this guide to reference the HotWire DSLAM interfaces. These are also the names used in the HotWire DSLAM software when configuring the HotWire DSLAM system.

User accounts provide security for the DSLAM by requiring that anyone who is trying to log onto the system has a valid password to gain access. User accounts on the MCC provide security to users accessing the system from the VT100-compatible terminal interface and via Telnet over the management domain LAN.
If no accounts are set up, then no login or password is required to gain entry to the system via the terminal interface or telnet.
It is recommended that user accounts also be set up for each DSL card, even if you do not intend to telnet directly to the DSL cards, so that no unauthorized telnet sessions can be made. Each card will support up to 10 user accounts with either Operator (read only) or Administrator (read/write) permissions.
If you configure an account on the MCC card, you have privileges on both the MCC and DSL cards.
If you configure an account on the DSL card, you only have privileges for that specific DSL card and only via a Telnet session.

IP Router Filters (IP Filter Configuration) A-E-C
Gives the user the ability to build name sets of filter rules. A filter is a rule (or set of rules) that is applied to a specific interface to indicate whether a packet can be forwarded or discarded. You can add, edit, or delete router filter rules within a named set. View filter names by pressing Ctrl-v.
A filter works by successively applying the rules to the information obtained from the packet header until a match is found. The filter then performs the action specified by the rule on that packet, which can be forwarded, discarded, or both.
Rules apply to the source and destination ports going to the end-user system. You may have up to 33 rules per filter, but the greater number of rules, the lesser the performance of the router filter.
On the MCC card, a maximum of two filters can be configured. For additional information on IP Router filters, see Chapter 7,

If your server is hosted by a DOS machine, you must name the file to be uploaded using the DOS convention eight-character length. The system will automatically upload the configuration file and create directories and file names as needed.
UNIX Machine
If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the configuration file you name will not be created on the UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with your system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories, filenames, and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and write permissions. (This is a UNIX system security feature.)

Users (Configure Account) A-D-A
Gives the user the ability to add, edit, or delete a user from a system account and to edit user passwords and privileges. Up to 10 active users can be supported.
User accounts provide security for the DSLAM by requiring that anyone who is trying to log onto the system has a valid password to gain access. User accounts on the MCC provide security to users accessing the system from the VT100-compatible terminal interface and via Telnet over the management domain LAN.
If no accounts are set up, then no login or password is required to gain entry to the system via the terminal interface or telnet.
It is recommended that user accounts also be set up for each DSL card, even if you do not intend to telnet directly to the DSL cards, so that no unauthorized telnet sessions can be made. Each card will support up to 10 user accounts with either Operator (read only) or Administrator (read/write) permissions.
If you configure an account on the MCC card, you have privileges on both the MCC and DSL cards.
If you configure an account on the DSL card, you only have privileges for that specific DSL card and only via a Telnet session.

Gives the user the ability to build name sets of filter rules. A filter is a rule (or set of rules) that is applied to a specific interface to indicate whether a packet can be forwarded or discarded. You can add, edit, or delete router filter rules within a named set.
A filter works by successively applying the rules to the information obtained from the packet header until a match is found. The filter then performs the action specified by the rule on that packet, which can be forwarded, discarded, or both.
Rules apply to the source and destination ports going to the end-user system. You may have up to 33 rules per filter, but the greater number of rules, the lesser the performance of the router filter.
On the DSL card, a maximum of 8 filters can be configured. For additional information on IP Router filters, see Chapter 7,
