Logically, the 7330 FTTN host and the REM(s) behave as one single ISAM. The REM has
splitter and LT functionality and is managed as if it is a LT board inserted in the FTTN host.
On the 7302 you have the possibility to have FE optical interfaces via one of the available
NT I/O cards on XD hardware (ECNC-B) see later. This card however is not insertable in the
7330 FTTN unit. Therefore FE Optical network links are not possible in 7330 deployment to
the network. Via the NELT card (see later), FE towards the end-user is supported on the FD
equipment practice.

At the user side, the ISAM terminates ADSL/ADSL2/Re-ADSL/ADSL2+, SHDSL & VDSL links. It
is also possible to terminate a limited number of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links
(FE/GE).
At the network side, the ISAM terminates GE or FE links. In case of more than 1 FE or 1 GE,
Ethernet link aggregation can be used. The Ethernet links can also be connected to 1 or
more Ethernet switches. The Ethernet switches forward the frames over the Ethernet based
aggregation access network until it reaches the IP Edge Router of the corresponding network
service provider. At the IP Edge Router, the frame enters the IP backbone of the network
service provider. The ISAM can also be connected directly to the IP Edge router, in which
case the Ethernet aggregation network is reduced to 1 or more parallel Ethernet links.
At the user side it is also possible to connect subtending ISAMs. It is possible for example to
connect ISAMs in cascading model. The last system can be any ISAM or IPDSLAM, e.g. an
ISAM/FTTN, or even an Alcatel-Lucent ASAM with an Ethernet uplink (FENT or GENT).

The cascaded topology allows installing shelves and racks in a chain. The so-called
subtended system is connected to the main system through a subtending interface (such as
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet) and shares the network interface of the main system.
Depending on the exact purpose (expanding to large DSLAMs in certain central offices
and/or increasing coverage in the network by positioning DSLAMs at as many locations as
possible), the subtended systems can be located near the main system (=co-location) or at a
remote location.
There is no strict limitation on the number of subtended ISAMs. Each ISAM has its own free
running clock. Of course, the available and necessary bandwidth has to be taken into
account.
Note that also other types of DSLAMs can be cascaded of an ISAM via Fast or Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces: 730x ASAM, 730x ASAM-c, 7324 RU, non Alcatel-Lucent DSLAMs.
Sometimes, the cascaded topology is also referred to as the daisy-chained topology.

A 7302 ISAM can also be used as an aggregation multiplexer to collect traffic from multiple
directly connected subtended DSLAMs. Rather than adding subtending levels, we then
create a star architecture. Again, other DSLAMs can be subtended through FE/GigE and the
subtended systems can be located near the main system or not.

16
It is possible to put the ISAM in a ring architecture, i.e. a special case of the cascading
architecture where the last system of the chain has yet another uplink to the EMAN network
as well.
The maximum number of devices in the ring is 8, because of delay when using RSTP. Such a
limitation does not exist on STP, but due to the long time it takes for STP to adapt to
changes in the topology, STP should not be used.
Another option is to use MSTP, where its possible to have different topologies for different
VLANs. See chapter on Spanning Tree Protocol, later.

---
The Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) is a frame based Access Multiplexer, i.e. a access multiplexer
which is based on a (ethernet) frame forwarding architecture in a packet aggregation network.
Different types of ISAM do exist, but conceptually they have the same building blocks. The mapping of
functional blocks to hardware modules depends on the equipment practice chosen.
Data forwarding in the ISAM is accomplished by interworking functions (on LTs) and an aggregation function
(on the NT): both of them include a forwarding engine.
The core of the ISAM is an Ethernet aggregation switch, called the Service HUB (SHUB) or Intelligent HUB
(IHUB).
The line termination module terminates subscriber interfaces and provides the interworking and aggregation
function towards the service hub.
The LT-module actually consists out of 2 functional submodules. The transport function ant the IWF
(Interworking function).
The transport function varies with the type of access technology used (ADSL, VDSL, SHDSL, Ethernet, GPON,
...).
For DSL interfaces, the transport function contains:
the High-Pass Filter (HPF) , separating the DSL portion of the signal spectrum from the narrowband signal
(POTS or ISDN)
the DSL modem function, providing the physical layer termination of the DSL signal
22
The line termination module (contd)

Transport function
On the slide you see that the LT module terminates VDSL or SHDSL (EFM) and below the line termination
module terminates xDSL or SHDSL (ATM-based). Depending on the access technology terminated, you will
have a different type of LT board.
The IWF handles frame forwarding, including sophisticated filtering and traffic management (QoS), all at
the line rate of the transport medium.
Internally the ISAM is Ethernet based. As a result of this, the IWF will, in case of DSL interfaces with ATM
transport mode, also remove ATM/AAL layer.
Line termination modules ( located on LT-boards), are connected to the aggregation function via the LTports or expansion port the line card can be a separate box (REM) (which doesnt behave as a
standalone node!).
Links between aggregation function and LT-boards are called LT-links.
Links between aggregation function and REM are called expansion-links.
The remaining ports on the service hub can be allocated to uplink interfaces (connecting to the upstream EMAN), to subtending interfaces (connecting to downstream Ethernet DSLAMs) or to user Interfaces
(connecting directly to 802.3 subscribers).

IEEE 802.1d STP and IEEE 802.1w RSTP are supported on network ports only.
IEEE 802.3ad Link aggregation is supported on network ports and subtending ports.
The max. number of LTs and the max. number of uplinks depends on the equipment practice.
The packet processing architecture of the ISAM family is future-safe and specifically designed for multimedia
and business service delivery over IP/Ethernet aggregation networks.
The Control and Management function is required for maintenance and operations, remote inventory
information, shelf management. As the name indicates, this function implements the management plane of
the system and part of the control plane, in particular the part related to subscriber management which is
typically not found in an Ethernet switch product. The Control function is distributed over multiple
general-purpose processors, managing the system, service hub and LT modules in a hierarchical way.
The ACU (alarm Control unit) module provides collection & distribution of equipment & customer alarms.
The clock module generates the system clock. It consists of a local oscillator which can optionally be locked
to an external reference clock (BITS).
The TAU (Test Access unit) function provides access to an external line test head (for Metallic Test Access)
and provides control of the MTA relays on the splitter modules.
Manages the switching of signals between the MTA ports (located on the PWIO-B) and subscriber lines
(connected to appliques).
The Power function is the interface point to the external DC power supply systems and provides power
monitoring, filtering, distribution and securing functionality.
The 802.3 Port function provides the physical layer interface for Ethernet ports. Electrical auto-sensing
10/100/1000 RJ45 ports and optical FE/GE ports on SFPs are supported.
Server modules can be plugged into LT slots. Instead of providing subscriber connectivity, they typically
provide an auxiliary central processing function, e.g. the ISAM-V IVPS (ISAM voice Packet Server) module,
which provides a centralized signalling interface to the call server or softswitch. Server modules are not
discussed in this presentation, nor indicated on the drawing. They are discussed in separate dedicated
courses.
SMAS module System MAC Address storage.

The SMAS module is integrated on a remote inventory PROM that contains the MAC address of the ISAM
(NT). Upon booting up of the ISAM, the MAC address is read by the active NT (or the standby NT in case of
failure of the active NT). The 24 MAC-addresses for each port on the xHUB, are derived from the system
MAC address that is stored on the SMAS PROM.
By having this MAC address stored on a separate board, the same MAC address can be maintained when
swapping between active and stand by NT, or when a NT board is to be replaced/upgraded. The SMAS
module is considered an integral part of the shelf.
Where the SMAS functionality is integrated depends on the equipment practice.
