Apart from its support on the various access services, the MA5100 also supports
different uplink modes for different networks, so as to make better use of existing
network resources. The MA5100 system supports smooth expansion of capacity, which
eliminates the impact on other network devices.
1.2.1 Abundant Service Interfaces
The MA5100 supports these service interfaces:

z ADSL interface, which provides ADSL access based on Plain Old Telephone
Service (ADSL over POTS) and Integrated Service Digital Network (ADSL over
ISDN).
z ATM-based SHDSL interface, which supports symmetrical, high speed leased line
access over twisted pair cables.
1-2
Technical Manual
z TDM-based SHDSL interface, which supports V.35 or E1, provides remote access
of CES and FR services. The maximum transmission distance in this mode
reaches 6 km.
z LAN interface, which provides leased line interconnection in a LAN.
z CES interface, which provides E1/V.35 circuit emulation interfaces to access
narrow-band services into the ATM network, in order to interconnect leased lines
of a narrow-band network (like DDN) over the ATM network.
z FR interface, which provides E1/V.35 frame relay interfaces to implement access
of FR services.
All the above interfaces that are provided on the MA5100 comply with related industrial
standards, and feature good openness and compatibility.
1.2.2 Powerful Networking Capability
The MA5100 provides multiple types of uplink ports to make the networking more
flexible:
z STM-1 optical/electrical ports, OC-3/STS-3 uplink port;
z E3 electrical port;
z IMA interface, which transmits ATM cells through existing E1 lines, and is suitable
for connection with low-speed ATM devices;
z FE and GE uplink IP ports.
According to actual networking requirements, different uplink ports are available to
access the ATM or IP MANs. The MA5100 supports different topology structures
including tree, star, link and ring, which helps to save the investment on optical fibers
and the resources of backbone ports.
1.2.3 Integration of ATM-DSLAM and IP-DSLAM
The MA5100 provides the IP and ATM uplink ports at the same time, so that the
DSLAM network can be constructed flexibly according to the resource of the ATM/IP
backbone network, service type, as well as requirements on QoS and security. An
individual MA5100 device supports a maximum of four 155M ATM uplink ports, and
eight FE/1 GE uplink ports. The FE ports support the Trunk function, which ensures
normal service of applications that require large bandwidth.
1.2.4 Support on Video Multicasting Services
The MA5100 supports multicasting in IP-DSLAM and ATM-DSLAM networking,

supports IGMP Snooping to provide management and control on multicasting users.

implements operable multicasting services.
1-3
Technical Manual
1.2.5 Good Scalability
The modular design facilitates smooth scalability to new services and larger capacity by
simply adding new service interface modules.
The MA5100 supports local cascading to satisfy large capacity application on single
point. It also supports remote cascading through connections on STM-1, OC-3 and
STS-3. The MA5100 is able to provide remote cascading through its IMA/E1 and E3
interfaces by using the surplus transmission resources on the network, so that the
ADSL service is able to be deployed flexibly and quickly at low cost, and be expanded
smoothly.
The MA5103 does not support local cascading function.
1.2.6 High QoS
The MA5100 provides powerful flow control function. In ATM-DSLAM application, the
MA5100 supports different service types, including:
z Constant Bit Rate (CBR) service;
z Real time Variable Bit Rate (rt-VBR) service;
z Non-real time Variable Bit Rate (nrt-VBR) service;
z Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).
The MA5100 is able to dispatch different types of services with different priority levels,
while shapes and controls the service flow. In IP-DSLAM application, the MA5100
supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) to control precisely the bandwidth for each
subscriber to access the network, and guarantee the service QoS.
1.2.7 Powerful Switching Ability
The MA5100 provides a switching capacity of 2.4G, which makes the MA5100 different
from ordinary DSLAM devices and ATM multiplexers. Besides accessing the various
services to the ATM/IP network through its uplink ports, the MA5100 is able to
interconnect its ADSL port and LAN port using the switching function. This switching
function is especially useful when constructing the broadband intelligent residential
communities, and in interconnecting two LAN ports on the same MA5100 to provide
LAN interconnection for enterprises.
1.2.8 Multiple Maintenance Modes
The MA5100 provides multiple maintenance modes, as well as alarm reporting, testing,
debugging and tracing function for easy maintenance of the device.

3.1.3 ADSL Service Module
The ADSL service module provides ADSL interfaces that are based on telephone lines
(ADSL over POTS) and based on ISDN lines (ADSL over ISDN). By coordinating with
remote ATU-R, it provides ADSL access for subscribers. The ADSL service takes
different frequency band from those used by POTS/ISDN service, so ADSL over
POTS/ISDN does not affect normal POTS/ISDN service on the lines.Composition of
the ADSL service module
The ADSL service module consists of the ADSL service process 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 process module. The ADSL service process 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 process module from the CELL BUS, and become ADSL signals after the
process, then sent to the remote ATR-R device through POTS/ISDN lines.
The following table lists all the boards that are supported on the ADSL service module.

3.1.4 LAN Service Module
The LAN service module consists of the LANC or LAND board, and corresponding
software program. This module accesses the LAN subscribers and isolates different
subscribers through VLAN, in order to provide broadband connection to the Internet
and interconnection between leased line subscribers.
In LAN access application, the FE interfaces on the LAND/LANC receive the upstream
Ethernet frames from the LAN subscribers. After that, the Ethernet frames are
encapsulated based on RFC1483 (Bridged) and mapped as ATM cell flow. ATM cell
flow is sent through the cell bus on the backplane to MMXC, and sent to the upper layer
network. The downstream ATM cell flow from the cell bus is restored into Ethernet
frame on LAND/LANC, then sent to the LAN subscribers.
Functions of the LAN service module are listed below.

z Supports various Ethernet interfaces like FE optical/electrical port and GE optical
port;
z Supports Trunk function on the FE port, in which each group supports the binding
of two to four ports;

I. Functions of the CES access module
With different types of interfaces and work modes, the CES access module implements
these functions:
z Under SDT and UDT E1 circuit emulation modes, the upstream E1 signals are
segmented on the CES access module, then filled into an ATM cell according to
the cell filling rate. After the pre-allocated VPI/VCI headers have been added, a
complete ATM cell is formed, and then sent to the CELL BUS. If it is downstream,
the headers of ATM cells from the CELL BUS are removed on the CES access
module, and the data in the payload are extracted and assembled into E1 signals
that comply with G.703 before sent out.
z Under UNI E1 circuit emulation mode (E1 cell trunk access), the upstream E1 cells
from physical lines are adapted to the CELL BUS, and the downstream cells from
the CELL BUS are adapted to physical line interface.
z Under V.35 circuit emulation mode, the level and rate of the upstream V.35 signals
from physical lines are converted, then the signals are inserted into the fixed
timeslots in 2M code flows. After that, the signals are adapted in SDT mode as
ATM cells, then sent to the CELL BUS. The downstream cells from the CELL BUS
are restored to V.35 signals and sent to V.35 line.

through its removable modular application programs. This software system contains
these parts: platform software, NE management software, network management
software, line test management package, and management package for interfacing
carrier test system.
4.2.2 Characteristics of iManager N2000
The iManager N2000 provides substantial functions to manage the DSLAM devices.
I. Centralized management over different DSLAM devices
The iManager N2000 is able to provide centralized monitoring and management over
Huawei DSLAM series devices, including the MA5100, MA5103, MA5105, MA5300
and S3026V, routers, LAN Switches and other data communication devices, and
significantly simplifies the network maintenance job.
II. Centralized monitoring of deivces and traffic statistics
The MA5100 provides diverse access means from broadband access to the Internet, to
high-speed leased line interconnection to large enterprises, schools, banks and so on.
In this scenario, how to effectively monitor the running of the network devices and get
the traffic statistics at various ports becomes a trick. The iManager N2000 monitors
network devices and collects traffics information in a centralized manner, so the
maintenance person is able to trace the performance of a specific device, or devices of
the whole network to get the required information in real time. With its performance
analyzers, the iManager N2000 also supports analysis on the individual object in a
specific time period, and analysis on multiple objects, and all the results are output in
tables, histograms and graphs.
III. Terminal management and broadband test
Simplification, maintenance-free, remote management, and autodetection of rate and

distance have become the trend to the development of ADSL terminals. The iManager
N2000 supports centralized configuration, test and monitoring of ADSL terminals using
RTU protocol. In addition, the iManager N2000 is integrated with the broadband test
system to implement tests on xDSL lines through coordination with the broadband test
module of the MA5100.
4-3
Technical Manual
IV. Batch processing on services
With the popularization of ADSL services and increasing of group users, allocating
service indexes and configuring service parameters become time-consuming. The
iManager N2000 supports batch-processing on ADSL service and PVCs. It also
provides service configuration templates to reduce the burden in inputting the
configuration parameters. The batch-processing functions of the MA1500 reduce the
time to deploy the service.
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 person is
able to us 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
There are very strict requirements on the security for the NMS and NMS database. The
iManager N2000 provides 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 NMS running and status of NMS database.
VII. Complete fault management and fast fault locating
The iManager N2000 supports realtime 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 and Trap
check. The alarm dependency analysis and broadband testing enables the
maintenance person to pinpoint the faults very quickly. The iManager N2000 also
supports conversion from alarm topology to alarm window and conversion from alarm
information to alarm interface, which can simplify the troubleshooting process.
VIII. Modular design and smooth upgrading
The modular and pertinent design of the iManger 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 to manage new
devices and new services in future.
4-4
Technical Manual
IX. Perfect security management
The iManager N2000 offers management authority and operation authority to the
devices. The management authority specifies whether the maintenance person is able
to manage a specific device. If a device is beyond the management authority of a
maintenance person, the node of such device shall not be displayed on the topology
view. The operation authority can be made more specific to reach the interfaces 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 in managing small-and-medium-sized DSLAM networks, and to future NMS
development.
X. SNMP interface to access the third-party NMS
The iManager N2000 provides not only the basic functions that are required in
managing DSLAM networks, but also the maintenance means that simplify the service
flow and reduce the complexity of operations. The centralized and hierarchical
management functions of the iManager N2000 ensure the security in the NM operation,
and reduce the investment in NM systems. As for large-sized DSLAM networks, the
iManager N2000 is able to provide hierarchical NM solutions together with iManager
N2100 of Huawei.
4.2.3 Graphic User Interface of iManager N2000
The iManager N2000 provides friendly Graphic 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 topology view and the device view of the MA5100 in the
NMS are given below to further illustrate the convenience when you operate the
iManager N2000.

4.2.4 iManager N2000 Networking
The iManager N2000 supports networking with the MA5100 through inband, outband
or hybrid modes.
I. Inband networking
Inband networking is to manage a device through the service channel provided by the
managed device. In this networking mode, NM messages are transferred through the
service channel of 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.
The following figure shows an inband ATM networking of the iManager N2000 system.

service channels of the managed devices.
As shown in the following figure, NMS sets up PVC maintenance channels using the
ADSL dialup access function provided by the MA5100, and implements management
through inband connection. However, the reliability of this networking mode is poor, and
is only suitable for remote browsing.

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, 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 outband
networking mode, an additional device is needed to provide the maintenance channel,
which is independent of the service channels.
Like 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.

The following introduces the networking solutions and applications of the MA5100.
5.1 Networking Solution
The following enables powerful networking function for the MA5100:

z Supports the IP and ATM uplink at the same time to connect with different
backbone networks;
z Abundant uplink interfaces (STM-1 optical/electrical port, OC-3, STS-3, E3, IMA,
FE and GE) to be applied in complicated networks;
z Provides local and remote cascading connection and supports networking with
SDH devices to enable flexible, convenient and inexpensive deployment of ADSL
service, as well as future expansion
5.1.1 Local Cascading
The capacity of the MA5100 is able to be expanded by subtending MA5100 slave

frames to the master frame locally, as shown below.

Technical Manual
Local cascading of the MA5100 has these features:

z The MA5100 master frame and slave frames are connected in a star topology, so
that services on the slave frames shall not interfere with each other;
z The subtending interface board SEPA on the master frame supports hot-backup to
ensure reliability and safety;
z The slave frames only support ADSL service, each providing a bandwidth of
200Mbit/s;
z Each master frame supports four slave frames, and the total number of ADSL
subscribers can be increased to 2176. This capacity can be reached after several
times of smooth expansion, so as to guarantee the return of the customer’s
investment.
5.1.2 Remote Cascading
Through different interface subboards attached on the AIUA, the MA5100 is able to
provide different ATM interfaces for cascading with remote MA5100 devices. This
remote cascading connection saves the resources of fiber and the ATM ports on the
upper layer devices, and extends the reach of broadband network.

Figure 5-4 MA5100 IP-DSLAM networking
In IP-DSLAM networking, the MA5100 provides two applications.
I. External BAS
In this mode, the MA5100 connects with the distributed external BAS (also called BRAS)
device such as the MA5200 series of Huawei, or centralized BAS device such as the
ISN8850 of Huawei, that locates at the higher layer. The xDSL subscribers are
connected to the IP network through the IP uplink port on the MA5100, and the
connection with the BAS is based on PPPOE or other mode.
Features in a centralized BAS network:

z DSLAM access device is connected to the BAS through special convergence
device;
z Suitable for initial stages of DSLAM deployment when the subscribers are
scattered and the capacity is small;
z The BAS device must provide large capacity and powerful forwarding ability;
5-4
Technical Manual
z Subject to single point failure and flow bottleneck, difficult in VLAN planning and
configuration, inapplicable to large DSLAM deployment, causing layer2 network
too large.
z Features in a distributed BAS network:
z BAS is the convergence device for DSLAM;
z Applicable to large deployment of DSLAM service;
z The BAS device must provide abundant interfaces and powerful convergence
function;
z Simple network structure and saved investment by the carrier.
Compared with the centralized BAS network, distributed BAS network solves the
problem of single point failure and flow bottleneck.
II. Built-in BAS
With increasing deployment of xDSL network and coverage, the position of BAS in the
network has been moving down. Built-in BAS is now found in the IP-DSLAM devices.
The MA5100 also provides built-in BAS board to implement authentication,
management and accounting on the subscribers.
5.1.4 ATM/IP-DSLAM Hybrid Networking
The MA5100 supports ATM and IP uplink at the same time. When using the ATM uplink
ports, broadband access and DDN, LAN access are supported; through coordination
with the upper layer multicast router or BAS, video multicast service is also provided.
The following figure shows the ATM/IP-DSLAM networking of the MA5100.

In the ATM/IP-DSLAM hybrid networking, the MA5100 is able to transmit the traffic
through both the ATM network and the IP network at the same time, according to the
service types. This helps to relive the load on a specific network.
5.1.5 Networking with Huawei OptiX Metro
The MA5100 uses the OptiX Metro multi-service transmission platform of Huawei to
transmit a variety of services (including the services provided by the MA5100) on the
same device in an optimum way. The OptiX Metro networking realizes dynamic
multiplexing of bandwidth, and sharing of network resources. It provides self-healing
mechanism to improve the network security, and makes the construction of network
more flexible.

5.2.1 High Speed Internet Access
ADSL is a sophisticated technology, it provides large bandwidth with asymmetric

upstream and downstream rates, in which the upstream rate reaches 640kbit/s, and the
downstream rate reaches 8Mbit/s. ADSL makes good use of existing telephone lines
for transmission over a distance as far as six kilometers, and is able to satisfy the
demands of subscribers in places beyond reach of fibers.

In the figure, the connection between the subscriber and the BAS (ISN8850 or MA5200)
is based on PPPOE or other protocols. The BAS is responsible for authentication and
accounting for the subscriber.
5.2.2 Leased Line Application
As one of the most popular DSLAM choices, the MA5100 provides a variety of leased
line access modes, apart from providing ADSL/SHDSL access, in order to enhance the
usage of the device and bring more revenue to the carrier.
The MA5100 supports ADSL/SHDSL leased line access, LAN interconnection and
DDN/FR interconnection and extension, as described respectively below.
I. ADSL leased line application
In suburban areas of cities, or among the small and medium-sized enterprises, huge
demand of leased line access exists. However, about 90% of these services require a
bandwidth no more than 768kbit/s. The ADSL interface on the MA5100 provides
broadband leased line access with asymmetric rates within a distance of five kilometers
over twisted pair cables, in which the upstream rate reaches 640kbit/s, and
downstream rate reaches 8Mbit/s. This solution provides the same access functions
like DDN/FR leased lines, but at a lower cost.

III. LAN interconnection
The MA5100 provides carrier-class LAN interconnection service for governments,

enterprises and commercial institutions (like banks) to link their branch offices with the
headquarters. Apart from the interconnection, this solution also supports applications
like broadband Internet access and video conferencing. The MA5100, together with
other Huawei devices like the Radium8750 and ISN8850, implements service
distribution control, user management, network security and authentication/accounting
functions, and makes the Internet operable and manageable.

IV. DDN leased line interconnection and extension
The Circuit Emulation Service (CES) emulates the conventional circuit switching and
circuit transmission over the ATM network. The MA5100 connects traditional
narrow-band services into the ATM/IP network, and extends present DDN network,
through its CES board, in order to make full use of narrow-band network resources, and
protect the customers’ investment.
The application to extend DDN leased line through the MA5100 CES function is shown
below.

The MA5100 provides two CES access modes:

z ordinary CES access, in which the service is accessed through the E1 or V.35
interfaces on the CESC/CESD/CESE board;
z TDM-based SHDSL access, in which the service is accessed through the E1 or
V.35 interfaces on the SLC board.
The access services in these two modes are the same, except that the latter is based
on the SHDSL to transmit the service over twisted pair cables. The transmission
distance reaches three to six kilometers, which is about four times longer than that in
ordinary CES access mode.
V. FR leased line interconnection and extension
The Frame Relay service is a kind of MAN services, which supports data, fax and voice
applications. The coexistence of FR and ATM networks require interconnection
between FR and ATM networks. The MA5100 has solved this problem perfectly.
The following figure shows the networking of the MA5100 to interconnect and extend
FR leased lines.

The MA5100 provides two FR access modes:

z Ordinary FR access, in which the service is accessed through the E1 or V.35
interfaces on the FR board;
z TDM-based SHDSL access, in which the service is accessed through the E1 or
V.35 interfaces on the SLF board.
The access services in these two modes are the same, except that the latter is based
on SHDSL to transmit the service over twisted pair cables. The transmission distance
reaches three to six kilometers, which is about four times longer than that in ordinary
FR access mode.
The MA5100 supports interconnection of network and services between FR and ATM
networks.
z Network interconnection: FR information between FR terminals is able to be
transmitted over the ATM backbone network, the FR terminals are able to be
connected either to the ATM or FR networks;
z Service interconnection: FR CPE and ATM CPE are interconnected without
converting the protocols.
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. Provisioning broadband
5-13
Technical Manual
access modes over ADSL/VDSL have been serving 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. Multicast services are mostly used in
streaming multi-media, distant learning, video conferencing, video multicasting,
Internet games, Interdisciplinary Data Collection (IDC) and point-to-multipoint data
transfer applications.
The MA5100 supports two multicast networking modes: IP DSLAM multicasting and
ATM DSLAM multicasting, as described below.
I. IP DSLAM multicast service application
The following figure shows the IP-DSLAM multicast networking of the MA5100.

SHDSL ADSL ADSL SHDSL
Figure 5-13 IP DSLAM multicast service application of the MA5100
The MA5100 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 is a Layer 2 device to implement IGMP
Snooping function.
In the above networking, the multicasting service flow enters the MA5100 through the
IP interface on the LAND board, and goes through the multicast PVC between the
LAND and XDSL. Then the XDSL port sends out the service flow to the subscriber.
II. ATM-DSLAM multicast service application
In initial deployment of the multicasting service, the support from broadband

convergence network or backbone network may be insufficient, or the network devices
may not be able to support multicast protocols. In this case, the DSLAM devices shall
5-14
Technical Manual
be able to connect with the video service server directly, in order to deploy the multicast
service independently. ATM-DSLAM multicast of the MA5100 supports this networking
mode, as shown below.
ATM
Multicast server
STM-1 STM-1
MA5100 MA5103
SHDSL ADSL ADSL SHDSL
Figure 5-14 ATM-DSLAM multicast service application of the MA5100
In this mode, the device that supports multicast route is not required in the upper layer
network. The multicasting server is able to allocate multicasting service flow directly to
the uplink port of the MA5100 through ATM network. The service flow enters the
MA5100 through the uplink interface on the MMXC, then goes through one or multiple
PVCs between the MMXC and the LAND. Finally, the service flow is sent to the
subscriber by the LAND.
In the IGMP Snooping process of the MA5100, multicast querying mechanism is

introduced to send query packets to multicast subscribers at regular time interval, so
that to facilitate maintenance according to the response packet.
5.2.4 Broadband Test Service
This function aims to test the state of xDSL lines, in order to provide reference to
activate a subscriber line, or locate the failure that occurs at the subscriber side or office
side.
The MA5100 has a built-in BTSB board for the test purpose, the networking is show
below.

(ETH), then execute the broadband test command;
z use the test management subsystem of Huawei iManager N2000 NMS to control
the BTSB to test the statuses of the ADSL lines;
