II. Service frame The service frame of the MA5100 is 10 U in height (including 1 U fan frame). Its dimensions (HDW) are: 436.00 mm 420.00 mm 444.50 mm, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Structure of the MA5100 service frame The MA5100 can be powered by 110 V/220 V AC supply or -48 V DC supply. When the AC power supply is used, the cabinet is equipped with a built-in primary power module at its top, which outputs -48 V DC power. The number of power modules is subject to the requirements on the capacity. When the DC power supply is used, the distribution box is needed instead of the power module, and the independent -48 V supply is led in from outside of the cabinet. The MA5100 uses fans for heat dissipation. The air enters the frame from the bottom of the frame, passes the boards and exhausts from the top of the frame. There are 48 V/0.21 A DC fans in the fan frame. Each fan frame can be installed and dismounted separately. Each fan is equipped with a detection terminal to check whether the fan is running normally.

The following describes the components and functions of the modules. 3.1.1 Main Control Module This module consists of: The MMX boards Subboards The corresponding software This module is the core to implement service convergence and switching, as well as device control and management. Its main functions are as follows. I. Service switching and management The MMX converges the ATM cell flows from the service modules, and then transmits them to the backbone network through the broadband upstream interfaces. It also provides interconnection between the service ports of the MA5100/MA5103 through its service switching function. The MMX is designed based on ATM technology, and has powerful management functions on services at the ATM layer. The MMX can provide QoS for subscribers through congestion management, flow shaping and setting of flow policies. II. System control, maintenance and management The MMX controls and manages the whole MA5100/MA5103, and provides alarm management and fault diagnosis for the device. Working with the ESC module, the MMX can monitor the running states of the device. The MMX supports loading of data and program. The MMX supports F4 and F5 Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) flows, such as Continuity Check (CC), Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), Remote Defect Indication (RDI), and Loopback (LB). The MMX provides a maintenance serial port (CON) and an Ethernet port (ETH) to facilitate maintenance from a terminal or the NMS. It also provides a monitoring port (MON) that connects with the ESC module for monitoring and alarm management of the device.

3-3 III. ATM interface The MMX can provide multiple interfaces through the attached subboards, such as STM-4 optical interfaces, STM-1 optical/electrical interfaces, OC-3c/STS-3c interfaces, E3 interfaces and IMA interfaces. The first STM-1, STM-4, or E3 ATM upstream interface on the active and standby MMX boards supports MSP function. The interfaces on the active and standby MMX boards are connected to different ports on the upper layer equipment, so as to achieve mutual protection. When an active port on the active MMX goes wrong, the MA5100 will automatically switch the services through this port to a standby port on the standby MMX. The MA5103 does not support the MSP function. All the above interfaces support user-network interface (UNI) and network-network interface (NNI). The MMX board can hold two subboards.

3.1.3 ADSL Service Module The module consists of ADSL series boards and the related software.This module provides ADSL interfaces that are based on telephone lines (ADSL over POTS) and ISDN lines (ADSL over ISDN). Working with the ATU-R, it provides ADSL access services for subscribers.The ADSL service takes different frequency bands from those used by POTS/ISDN services, so ADSL over POTS/ISDN does not affect normal POTS/ISDN services on the lines.Working process The ADSL service module consists of the ADSL service processing module and the splitter. In actual application, all the upstream signals from the subscribers are sent to the splitter, which separates the ADSL signals from the POTS/ISDN signals, and sends the ADSL signals to the ADSL service processing module. The ADSL service processing module implements Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) modulation/demodulation on the signals, adapts ATM cell rates, de-multiplexes and multiplexes the ADSL signals, and then sends the data to the CELL BUS. The downstream ADSL service data are sent to the ADSL service processing module from the CELL BUS, and become ADSL signals after the process, and then are sent to the ATU-R device through the POTS/ISDN lines.

Working with the VTU-R, it provides symmetrical high bandwidth (12 Mbit/s) VDSL access services for subscribers within the range of 11.5 km. The VDSL service takes different frequency bands from those used by POTS services, so VDSL does not affect normal POTS services on the lines. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 3 Functions and Service Flow
3-7 I. Working process The VDSL service module consists of the VDSL service processing module and the splitter.

Figure 3-2 xDSL access service flow I. Upstream xDSL receives the xDSL signals from xTU-R. xDSL converts the xDSL signals into ATM cell flow. In the case of ATM-DSLAM network, ATM cell flow is sent to MMX, then to the upper layer ATM network through the ATM interface, and implements ATM-DSLAM application. In the case of IP-DSLAM, the ATM cell flow is sent to LAND where it is converted into Ethernet frame, then sent to the upper layer IP network through the IP Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 3 Functions and Service Flow
3-14 interface on the LAND. When congestion occurs in the network, LAND can dispatch the upstream Ethernet frame based on the set 802.1p priority level to ensure the IP service QoS. II. Downstream In the case of ATM-DSLAM, xDSL service data (in the form of ATM cell flow) are sent to the MA5100/MA5103 through the upstream interfaces on MMX. The xDSL service data are converted into ATM frames by the MMX, and sent to xDSL; In the case of IP-DSLAM, the xDSL data (Ethernet frame) is sent to LAND, and then sent to MA5100/MA5103 through the upstream interface on the LAND. Land converts Ethernet frame into ATM frame and sends xDSL through its cell bus. When congestion occurs in the network, LAND can dispatch the downstream Ethernet frame based on the set 802.1p priority level to ensure the IP service QoS. After being processed by xDSL, ATM cell flow is converted into xDSL signals, and then sent to the remote xTU-R. 3.2.2 LAN Leased Line Access Service Flow Figure 3-3 shows the service flow of LAN leased line access service. MA5100 MMX LAN FE/GE LAN STM-1 LAN ATM/IP FE FE
Figure 3-3 Service flow in LAN leased line access I. Upstream The Ethernet frames from the LAN subscriber are sent to the LAND (LAND works in leased line access mode) through the FE port interfaces; Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 3 Functions and Service Flow
3-15 Ethernet frames are converted into ATM cell flow on the LAND and sent to MMX/LAND (LAND works in IP-DSLAM mode); ATM cell flow is processed by MMX/LAND and sent to upper layer ATM/IP network. II. Downstream LAN service data are sent to the MA5100 through the upstream interface on MMX/LAND; After the process on the MMX/LAND, the LAN service data are converted into ATM cell flow and sent to LAND; After the process on the LAND, the ATM cell flow is converted into Ethernet frame and sent to the LAN subscriber. 3.2.3 Multicast Service Flow The MA5100/MA5103 supports IP-DSLAM and ATM-DSLAM multicast services, as shown in Figure 3-4. MA5100 MMX xDSL STM-1 LAND ATM/IP xTU-R FE/GE Program server IGMP packet and multicast control message Video frequency stream
Figure 3-4 Multicast service flow When an xDSL subscriber selects a multicast program, the subscriber terminal sends IGMP packets to the MA5100, applying for joining the multicast group for the program. The LAND board on the MA5100 captures the IGMP packets and sends the subscriber information to the MMX. The MMX authenticates the subscriber. If the subscriber has the right to watch the demanded program, the MMX sends an acknowledge message to the LAND Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 3 Functions and Service Flow
3-16 board, so that the xDSL port of the subscriber can be added into the multicast group. In IP-DSLAM mode, the LAND board receives video stream from the video server, and broadcasts it to all the xDSL ports. In ATM-DSLAM mode, the MMX sends the video stream to the LAND board. The LAND board then broadcasts the video stream to all the xDSL ports. If the xDSL port belongs to the multicast group, the port will receive the video stream and sends it to the subscriber. If the port does not belong to the multicast group, it will discard the video stream. When the subscriber logs off, the subscriber terminal sends an IGMP packet to inform the MA5100. When the LAND detects the IGMP packet, the message is forwarded to the MMX, which controls the xDSL to remove the subscriber xDSL port from the multicast group. The LAND board can from time to time send IGMP packets to all the multicast subscribers in order to query the state of the subscribers, and maintain the multicast group according to responses from the subscribers.

4-4 the MA5100 or connecting to an external test device. The iManager N2000 also analyzes and processes such test data. The test results help the maintenance persons to locate the failure that occurs on the subscriber line or the central office side. V. Centralized backup and loading of device data The iManager N2000 provides the Data Center management software for centralized backup and loading of data of all the devices in the network. The maintenance personnel can use the Data Center software to make manual or timed loading and backup for all the network devices or a specific device. The centralized loading function also makes it possible to implement batch upgrading of software for the ADSL devices in the network segment. VI. Safe solution to NMS and NMS database The iManager N2000 provides the NMS database backup tool to back up and restore entries in the NMS database. The tool supports manual and periodic backup and manual restoration. Remote monitor terminals are also available in the iManager N2000 to supervise the status of the NMS database. VII. Complete fault management and fast fault locating The iManager N2000 supports the following functions: Real-time monitoring on alarms Query of history alarms Sorting and counting of alarms Dumping of alarm information Filtering of alarm information E-mail notification of alarms Analysis of alarm dependency Trap check The alarm correlation analysis enables the maintenance personnel to pinpoint the faults very quickly. VIII. Modular design and smooth upgrading The modular and pertinent design of the iManager N2000 software packages enables the carriers to make purchase of the management packages to their own needs. The iManager N2000 supports smooth upgrading to cope with the demand for managing new devices and new services in future. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 4 Maintenance Management System
4-5 IX. Sophiscated security management The iManager N2000 offers management authority and operation authority for you to operate to the devices. The management authority specifies whether the maintenance person can manage a specific device. If a device is beyond the management authority of a maintenance person, the node of such device is not available for the user in the topological view. The operation authority can be made more specific to reach the ports of a device. The operation authority is further classified into readable and writable authorities. This hierarchical management mode makes the iManager N2000 a right solution to managing small and medium-sized DSLAM networks and to future NMS development as well. X. SNMP interface to access the third-party NMS The iManager N2000 provides the basic functions to manage DSLAM networks. It also provides the maintenance means to simplify the service flow and reduce the complexity of operations. Its centralized and hierarchical management functions ensure the security in the NM operation, and reduce the investment in NM systems. As for large-sized DSLAM networks, the iManager N2000 can provide hierarchical NM solutions together with iManager N2100 of Huawei. 4.2.3 Graphical User Interface of iManager N2000 The iManager N2000 provides friendly Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with unified style to make the network management operations simple and easy. It also provides powerful help system to assist the maintenance persons to learn and get familiar with the system. The iManager N2000 network topological view and the panel view of the MA5100 in the NMS are given below to further illustrate the operability of the iManager N2000. I. Network topological view The iManager N2000 provides network topological views and submaps which are identical with actual network topology, as shown in Figure 4-2.

You can also configure, manage or maintain the system through the main menus on the top of the panel view. 4.2.4 The iManager N2000 Networking The iManager N2000 can be interworked with the MA5100/MA5103 through inband, outband and hybrid modes. I. Inband networking Inband networking is a networking mode through which the NMS manages a device through the service channel provided by the managed device. Inband networking is very flexible, and no additional device is needed. However, since the maintenance messages are transferred through the service channel of the managed device, maintenance operation from the iManager N2000 will be impossible when the managed device fails. Figure 4-4 shows an inband ATM networking of the iManager N2000 system. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 4 Maintenance Management System
Figure 4-4 IPoA inband networking of the iManager N2000 In the above figure, the connections between the Network Management Center (NMC) and the ATM switch, and that between the MA5100 and the ATM switch are all in inband mode. The NMC manages and maintains the network devices through the service channels of the managed devices. Figure 4-5 shows another inabnd networking of the iManager N2000. In this mode, the NMS is connected to the ATM network through the ADSL port on the MA5100 to manage and maintain the network devices. However, the reliability of this networking mode is poor, so this mode is only suitable for remote browsing of the managed devices.

Figure 4-5 ADSL inband networking of the iManager N2000 Inband networking is very flexible, and the above are only two typical modes. In actual application, NM networks can be flexibly constructed by combining multiple modes. II. Outband networking Compared with the inband networking mode, the outband networking mode provides a more reliable service management channel. In this mode, the managed device can be located timely and monitored in real time even though the device fails. In this mode, an additional device is needed to provide the maintenance channel, which is independent of the service channels. Like the inband networking, the outband networking also supports multiple modes, and the MA5100 NMC supports networking with DDN/ISDN leased line, E1 line, router and LAN. Figure 4-6 shows an outband networking, in which the NMC connects with the managed devices through different ways.

Subtends with remote MA5100/MA5103 devices through STM-4 optical interface, STM-1 optical/electrical interface, OC-3c, STS-3c, E3 and IMA interfaces. It supports star topology and tree topology in different networks, and can form a ring topology by using the existing transmission system (such as SDH). Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
5-2 Provides broadband access for family users and commercial users through ADSL and SHDSL (ATM-based) interfaces, and coordinates with upper layer multicast devices to provide video multicast services. Supports the hybrid networking application of ATM-DSLAM and IP-DSLAM. Provides leased line interfaces such as LAN interfaces to meet the needs of business group users. Provides centralized management under the iManager N2000 platform of Huawei. The following introduces the networking solutions and applications of the MA5100/MA5103. 5.1 Networking Solution The MA5100/MA5103 has powerful networking functions as follows. Supports both the IP and ATM uplink interfaces to connect with different backbone networks. Supports abundant types of uplink interfaces (STM-4 optical interface, STM-1 optical/electrical interface, OC-3c, STS-3c, E3, IMA, FE and GE). Provides master-slave and remote subtending connection and supports networking with SDH devices. 5.1.1 Master-slave Subtending The ADSL capacity of the MA5100/MA5103 can be expanded by means of master-slave subtending, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-2 MA5100/MA5103 master-slave subtending Master-slave subtending of the MA5100/MA5103 has these features: The MA5100/MA5103 master frame and slave frames are connected in a star topology, so that services on the slave frames shall not interfere with each other. The subtending interface board SEPA in the master frame supports hot-backup to ensure reliability and safety. 5.1.2 Remote Subtending Through different interface subboards attached on the AIUA, the MA5100/MA5103 can provide different ATM interfaces for subtending connection with remote MA5100/MA5103 devices. The system also provides the IMUB board for subtending connection with remote IMA devices (such as the MA5105). This remote subtending connection saves the resources of fiber and the ATM port on the upper layer devices. It also extends the reach of broadband network. Figure 5-3 shows remote subtending connection of the MA5100/MA5103. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
Figure 5-3 MA5100/MA5103 remote subtending connection 5.1.3 IP-DSLAM Networking The MA5100/MA5103 provides mature IP-DSLAM solutions. They enable xDSL subscribers to access the IP network without expanded or newly established ATM network. Figure 5-4 shows the IP-DSLAM networking of the MA5100/MA5103. IP Core GE GE/FE BAS MA5100 MA5100 MA5100 MA5105 MA5103 xDSL xDSL GE/FE GE/FE MA5300
5-5 In IP-DSLAM networking mode, the MA5100/MA5103 mainly provides the application: external BAS. In this mode, the MA5100/MA5103 connects with the upper layer distributed external BAS (also called B-RAS) device (such as the MA5200 series of Huawei), or centralized BAS device (such as the ISN8850 of Huawei). The xDSL subscribers are connected to the IP network through the IP uplink port on the MA5100/MA5103, and the connection with the BAS is based on PPPoE or other modes, for the purpose of subscriber authentication, authorization and accounting. Features of a centralized BAS network are as follows. DSLAM access device is connected to the BAS through special convergence device. The BAS is suitable for initial stages of DSLAM deployment when the subscribers are scattered and the capacity is small. The BAS device is required to provide large capacity and powerful forwarding capability. Subject to single point failure and flow bottleneck, difficulty in VLAN planning and configuration, the BAS is inapplicable to large DSLAM deployment, causing layer 2 network too large. Features of a distributed BAS network are as follows. BAS is the convergence device for DSLAM. BAS is applicable to large deployment of DSLAM service. The BAS device is required to provide abundant interfaces and powerful convergence function. With simple network structure, it saves investment by the carriers. Compared with the centralized BAS network, the distributed BAS network solves the problem of single point failure and flow bottleneck. 5.1.4 ATM/IP-DSLAM Hybrid Networking The MA5100/MA5103 supports both ATM and IP uplink interfaces. When using the ATM uplink interfaces, the MA5100 supports broadband access, leased line access, LAN access, and multicast services. When using IP uplink ports, the MA5100/MA5103 supports broadband access as well as video multicasting (working with upper-layer multicast router or B-RAS device). Figure 5-5 shows the ATM/IP-DSLAM networking of the MA5100/MA5103. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application

Figure 5-5 ATM/IP-DSLAM hybrid networking of the MA5100/MA5103 In ATM/IP-DSLAM hybrid networking mode, the MA5100/MA5103 can transmit the traffic through both the ATM network and the IP network according to the service types. This helps to relieve the load on a specific network. 5.2 Service Application 5.2.1 High Speed Internet Access ADSL provides large bandwidth with asymmetric upstream and downstream rates. The maximum upstream rate reaches up to 896 kbit/s, while the maximum downstream rate reaches up to 8 Mbit/s. ADSL makes good use of existing telephone lines for transmission over a distance as far as five kilometers with a low deployment cost and a high deployment speed. So, it can satisfy the demands of subscribers in places beyond reach of fibers. ADSL2+ and ADSL have the same networking mode, but ADSL2+ features higher rates (maximum upstream rate: 1.2 Mbit/s, maximum downstream rate: 24 Mbit/s), and longer transmission distance (6 km). Figure 5-6 shows the MA5100/MA5103 networking in high speed Internet access. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
Figure 5-6 High speed Internet access of the MA5100/MA5103 In Figure 5-6, the connection between the subscriber and the BAS (ISN8850 or MA5200) is based on PPPoE or other protocols. The BAS is for subscriber authentication and accounting. 5.2.2 Leased Line Application Apart from providing broadband Internet access, so as to enhance the usage of the device and bring more revenue to carriers, the MA5100/MA5103 provides G.SHDSL leased line access, VDSL leased line access and LAN interconnection. I. SHDSL/VDSL leased line application The MA5100/MA5103 supports SHDSL/VDSL leased line access applications. These two services share the same networking, as shown in Figure 5-7. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
5-8 MA5100 BAS MA5100 MA5103 ATM MAN IP MAN FE/GE STM-1 STM-1 FE/GE Office building Government/School Bank/Stock market Enterprise/SOHO SHDSL/VDSL VDSL SHDSL SHDSL/VDSL
Figure 5-7 SHDSL/VDSL leased line application of the MA5100/MA5103 1) SHDSL leased line access The MA5100/MA5103 provides high speed leased line access with symmetric rates for enterprises or commercial users over 1/2 twisted pair cables. 2) VDSL leased line access The MA5100 supports VDSL leased line access over twisted pair cables to provide 10 Mbit/s leased data line in a distance of no more than 1.5 km. Compared with traditional VDSL services, the VDSL services provided by the MA5100 can be connected not only to IP MAN through the FE/GE upstream interface, but also to ATM MAN through the ATM upstream interface. Hence, the MA5100 can not only provide convenient and fast VDSL access services based on current wide coverage of ATM-DSLAM, but also meet the quality requirements of VDSL subscribers based on high QoS of ATM network. II. LAN interconnection The MA5100/MA5103 provides carrier-class LAN interconnection service for governments, enterprises and commercial institutions such as banks to link their branch offices with the headquarters. Apart from the interconnection, this solution also supports applications such as broadband Internet access and video conferencing. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
5-9 Working with other devices of Huawei, such as the Radium8750 and the ISN8850, the MA5100/MA5103 achieves various functions. These functions include: Service distribution control User management Network security Authentication/accounting Thus, it makes the Internet operable and manageable.

Figure 5-8 LAN interconnection application 5.2.3 Multicast Service Application Multicast applications are becoming new service demands as streaming data warehouse and video frequency appear in the IP network. ADSL/SHDSL, the mainstream broadband access technologies are mainly used to provide high speed Internet access and ADSL/SHDSL leased line services. Multicast services based on ADSL/SHDSL are becoming a new profitable market for the carriers. These services are mostly used for: Streaming multi-media Distant learning Video conferencing Video multicasting Internet games Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
5-10 Interdisciplinary data collection (IDC) Point-to-multipoint data transfer The MA5100/MA5103 supports two multicast networking modes: IP DSLAM and ATM DSLAM. See below for details. I. IP DSLAM multicast service application Figure 5-9 shows the IP-DSLAM multicast networking of the MA5100/MA5103. MA5103 MA5100 Internet Multicast router FE/GE SHDSL SHDSL FE/GE ADSL ADSL Multicast server
Figure 5-9 IP DSLAM multicast service application of the MA5100/MA5103 The MA5100/MA5103 connects with the IP MAN through its IP uplink interfaces (FE/GE), and coordinates with the upper layer multicasting router or BAS to implement the multicast service. In this application, the MA5100/MA5103 is a Layer 2 device to achieve IGMP Snooping function. II. ATM-DSLAM multicast service application In initial deployment of the multicast service, support from the broadband convergence network or the backbone network may be insufficient, or the network devices may not meet the requirement to support multicast protocols. In this case, you can connect the DSLAM devices with the video service server directly, so as to deploy the multicast service independently. ATM-DSLAM multicast of the MA5100/MA5103 supports this networking mode, as shown in Figure 5-10. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application
Figure 5-10 ATM-DSLAM multicast service application of the MA5100/MA5103 To meet the requirement for direct connection with the multicast server, the multicast querying mechanism is introduced in the IGMP Snooping process of the MA5100/MA5103. Based on this mechanism, query packets are sent to multicast subscribers at regular intervals, and the multicast group is maintained according to the response packet. 5.2.4 Broadband Test Service This function aims to test the state of xDSL lines, so as to provide reference for whether to activate a subscriber line, and locate the failure that occurs at the subscriber side or at the central office side. The MA5100/MA5103 supports the ADSL line capture function. The networking is shown below. Technical Manual SmartAX MA5100/5103 Multi-service Access Module Chapter 5 Networking and Application

Figure 5-11 Networking for broadband test of the MA5100/MA5103 The MA5100/MA5103 supports tests of ADSL lines through external test systems, such as the NMS and the carriers test systems (like subscriber line test system). The testing process is as follows. 1) The external test system gives a broadband line testing instruction to the MA5100/MA5103 and the external test instrument. 2) The MA5100/MA5103 captures the ADSL lines to the test bus under the control of the external test system. 3) The external test instruments test ADSL lines through the test bus interface on the frame of the MA5100/MA5103, and send the test results back to the external test system.
