Preface

About this User’s Manual

This user’s guide gives hardware specifications and explains web configurator and command line configuration,
management and troubleshooting for the ADSL line card. It also gives hardware specifications for the ADSL
splitter card.

ALC1224 Models and Firmware Releases

The firmware version contains a model code. In firmware version V3.50(LK.0) for example; “LK” is the model
code.

 “LK” denotes the ALC1224-71 for ADSL over POTS (Annex A).

 “LV” denotes the ALC1224-73 for ADSL over ISDN (Annex B).

A firmware version also includes the firmware’s release number. In firmware version V3.50(LK.0) for example,
“0” is the firmware’s release number. This varies as new firmware is released. Your firmware’s release number
may not match what is displayed in this User’s Guide.

General Syntax Conventions

 Mouse action sequences are denoted using a comma. For example, click Start, Settings, Control Panel,

Network means first you click Start, click or move the mouse pointer over Settings, then click or move
the mouse pointer over Control Panel and finally click (or double-click) Network.

 “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to use one of

the predefined choices.

 Predefined choices are in Bold Arial font.

 Button and field labels, links and screen names in are in Bold Times New Roman font.

 A single keystroke is in Arial font and enclosed in square brackets. [ENTER] means the Enter, or carriage

return key; [ESC] means the Escape key and [SPACE BAR] means the Space Bar.

 For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.,” as shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.,” for “that is” or “in other

words”.

Naming Conventions

See also the Integrated Ethernet Switch Overview in chapter 1.

 The ALC1224 (ADSL Line Card) may be referred to as the “ALC”, the “line card” or the “card”.

 “ALC1224” refers to the ALC1224-71 for ADSL over POTS (Annex A). “ALC1224” also refers to the

ALC1224-73 for ADSL over ISDN (Annex B). Differentiation is made where needed.

 The ASC1024 (ADSL Splitter Card) may be referred to as the “splitter card”.

 “ASC1024” refers to both the ASC1024-61 for ADSL over POTS (Annex A) and the ASC1024-63 for

ADSL over ISDN (Annex B) versions. Differentiation is made where needed.

 The IES-2000 or IES-3000 may be referred to as the “Integrated Ethernet Switch”, the “switch” or the

“system”.

ALC1224 Overview

Part I:

ALC1224 Overview

This part introduces the general features default settings and hardware of the ADSL line card.

I

ALC1224 User’s Guide

Chapter 1

ALC1224 Overview

This chapter introduces the ADSL line card’s general features, factory default settings and hardware.

1.1 Integrated Ethernet Switch Overview

The Integrated Ethernet Switch is an IP-based DSLAM (Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer) that connects DSL subscribers to the Internet. It includes the following components:

 The IES-3000 or IES-2000 main chassis.

o The ALC1224 ADSL line card (documented in this user’s guide) provides ADSL service for

subscribers.

o The management switch card controls the Integrated Ethernet Switch and connects it to an

Ethernet backbone network.

 The IES-3000 or IES-2000 splitter chassis.

o The ASC1024 is a splitter card (documented in this user’s guide) combines phone service and

ADSL.

1.2 ALC1224 Overview

The ALC1224 (ADSL Line Card) provides ADSL service for 24 subscribers over existing telephone wiring, thus
avoiding the cost and hassle of installing new wiring. ADSL allows you to extend the reach of broadband services
up to 18,000 feet. This makes the ADSL line card perfect for providing high bandwidth broadband service to
subscribers who are spread out over a large area.

The ASC1024 (ADSL Splitter Card) combines voice service and ADSL on the same telephone wiring.

Use this chapter’s Telco-50 connector pin assignments along with the directions and safety warnings in the
Integrated Ethernet Switch’s User’s Guide to install the cards and make the necessary connections. Install the
ADSL line card in the main chassis. Install the ADSL splitter card in the splitter chassis.

1.3 Features of the ALC1224

• Rate adaptation support

IEEE 802.1p Priority

Your ADSL line card uses IEEE 802.1p Priority to assign priority levels to individual ports.

Multiple PVC and ATM QoS

The ADSL line card allows you to use different channels (also called Permanent Virtual Circuits or PVCs) for
different services or subscribers. Define channels
assign each channel a priority. ATM Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to regulate the average rate and
fluctuations of data transmission. This helps eliminate congestion to allow the transmission of real time data (such
as audio and video).

on each DSL port for different services or levels of service and

IEEE 802.1x Port-based Authentication

The ADSL line card supports the IEEE 802.1x standard for centralized user authentication and accounting
management through an optional network authentication (RADIUS) server.

Protocol

Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483)

Management

• Remote configuration backup/restore and firmware upgrade

• SNMP manageable

• Text-based management locally via console port and remotely via telnet

• Web configurator

MAC (Media Access Control) Filter

Use the MAC filter to filter incoming frames based on MAC (Media Access Control) address(es) that you specify.
You may enable/disable the MAC filter on specific ports. You may specify up to ten MAC addresses per port.

MAC (Media Access Control) Count Filter

You can limit the number of MAC addresses that may be dynamically learned on a port. You may enable/disable
the MAC count filter on individual ports.

At the time of writing, the ALC1224 only supports the line rates for ADSL2 and ADSL2+ (not other features); and the

ALC1224’s interoperability when using ADSL2 and ADSL2+ has not yet been tested.

1.6.1 ALC1224 Ports

Table 1-1 ALC1224 Front Panel Ports

PORT DESCRIPTION

ADSL This Telco-50 connector is for connecting to the ASC1024 (ADSL Splitter Card).

ALC1224 Overview 1-5

ALC1224 User’s Guide

Table 1-1 ALC1224 Front Panel Ports

PORT DESCRIPTION

CONSOLE This mini-RJ-11 port is for connecting to a computer for local management. Use a console cable

to connect this port to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your computer. Your
computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as HyperTerminal)
set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control and 9600 bps
port speed.

Only use this port for troubleshooting. Configuration changes that you make using this console
port are effective during run-time only and are lost when the card restarts.

An ALC1224 console port session has priority over (and blocks) a telnet session.

Do not use the ALC1224’s console port while using the management switch

card’s console port.

1.6.2 ALC1224 LEDs

LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION

PWR Green On The system is up.

Off The system is off or not receiving power.

ALM Red Blinking The line card’s temperature and voltage monitoring hardware has failed.

On The line card has overheated or its voltage is out of the normal range.

Off The line card is functioning within its normal temperature and voltage

range.

SYS Green Blinking The line card is starting.

On The line card is on and functioning properly.

Off The line card is not receiving power, is not ready or has malfunctioned.
