About the ATM Line Cards
ATM Line Cards
The 8955, 8965, 8968, and 8985 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Line Cards
are circuit boards mounted in an 8620 or 8820 Broadband Access Concentrator
(BAC) and used to transport ATM cells at high speeds over a single twisted-pair
connection or, optionally, two twisted-pair connections (8985 only).
Model 8955 supports ReachDSL. It automatically adjusts to the highest rate
the loop can support, from 32 to 2176 kbps. It has 24 ports.
Models 8965 and 8968 support Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL).
They can be set to adapt to the line conditions at startup, or set to the following
fixed rates depending on line code:
1
— G.lite: 64 to 3008 kbps downstream and 32 to 512 kbps upstream.
— G.dmt, ANSI T1.413, ADSL2, and ADSL2+: 32 to 8000 kbps downstream
and 32 to 832 kbps upstream.
— ADSL2: 32 to 16000 kbps downstream and 32 to 1056 kbps upstream.
— ADSL2+: 32 to 29000 kbps downstream and 32 to 2200 kbps upstream.
The Model 8965 has 24 ports and the Model 8968 has 48 ports.
Model 8985 supports Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line
(SHDSL). It can be set to adapt to the line conditions at startup, or set to a
fixed line rate from 192 to 2304 kbps (or 384 to 4608 kbps with two wire pairs).
It has 24 ports.
The 8955, 8965, 8968, and 8985 line cards are configured and managed using the
Shelf Concentration and Processing (SCP) card.
Part of Paradyne’s Hotwire Connected™ program, the cards interoperate with
third-party DSL endpoints providing end users with the ability to select the best
equipment to fit their application. The line cards also integrate support for multiple
DSL services on a single card.

ATM Features
The cards’ ATM features include:
Classes of service. Supports traffic management service categories
necessary to support voice and data applications:
—CBR
— rt-VBR
— nrt-VBR
— UBR (only class of service supported for the Model 8955)
Auto configuration. Two Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) per port are
automatically configured, providing data and voice services.
Multiple virtual circuits. Up to 250 additional VCCs can be configured by the
user and assigned among the DSL ports.
ATM statistics. Maintains statistics for:
— Total cells received
— Total cells transmitted
— Total cells dropped

Endpoint Support Features
The cards’ endpoint support features include:
Third-party endpoint support. Models 8965, 8968, and 8985 line cards
support third-party endpoints through the Hotwire Connected program,
including Integrated Access Devices (IADs) and data-only endpoints from
numerous industry-leading vendors. The Model 8985 card supports third-party
endpoints using the ITU SHDSL standard. A list of Paradyne’s SHDSL
partners is available on the World Wide Web at www.paradyne.com. Select
Company → Partners → Hotwire Connected Interoperability Program.
1-2 June 2004 8900-A2-GB20-30
Model 6381 and 6390 Modem support. Models 8955, 8965, and 8968 line
cards support the Model 6381 Modem. The Model 8955 line card also
supports the discontinued Model 6390 Modem.
Model 8300 Modem support. The Model 8985 line card supports the
Model 8300 Modem.
Automatic rate adaptation. The card and the endpoint negotiate the best
rate, limited if desired by the user, through automatic rate adaptation.
