SHub Subsystem
The Service Hub (SHub) subsystem multiplexes the Ethernet frames into a reduced set of network links (that is, aggregates traffic from / to subscriber interfaces on one or a limited number of network uplinks). The SHub subsystem is integrated in a NT board. Figure 1-4 shows the connections of the LT shelf with the SHub subsystem. The SHub subsystem provides 24 FE/GE ports:
16 ports are used for connecting to each LT board one port used for internal purposes (ECNT-A only)
Note This is valid for the ECNT-A only.
For the ECNT-C, internal communications pass via the PCI interface. This allows to support one additional interface on the front of this NT.

The ISAM-V acts as an Access Media Gateway (MG) and connects the legacy
NarrowBand (NB) user interfaces (Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)) to the NGVN. The ISAM-V supports:
mixed configurations, where the NB user interfaces and MG Interface are integrated
in the same node centralized configurations, where the MG Interface is located in a hub node and the NB user interfaces in remote nodes.
The trunk MG links the NGVN with a Legacy network. The softswitch is responsible for call control and charging, and communicates
with the MGs:
via the Media Gateway Control (MEGACO) protocol (ETSI RFC 3525 / ITU-T
H.248) for POTS via the SIGTRAN Control protocol for ISDN Note H.248.16 (XDD Buffering) is also supported
Basically, XDD buffering is used in order not to lose digits when after matching with a valid dialplan the user still continues dialling. When XDD buffering is active, detected digits are kept in IVPS in a buffer as a digit string up to a timer expiration or when a new matching with the current valid dialplan happens.

Voice subscriber provisioning and line testing for individual subscribers or a set
of subscribers that allows fast deployment of the network Open interfaces to OSS that eases massive deployment of the service, preventive and customer-on-call line testing and subscriber information alignment with OSS.
5530 NA
The 5530 NA is in charge of the PSTN line Testing functionality, which includes electrical measurements in the voice band to test the loop, testing of the POTS line termination, and testing of the POTS terminal equipment.
Management Interface
The management interface between the VEM and the IVPS offers a SNMP v1 protocol. There is also a direct interface (SNMPv1) between the APC and the IVPS. The IVPS board is not equipped with a CT interface.
1 System Overview
Product Architecture
The ISAM Voice Package architecture is that of the ISAM with the addition of voice services, which translates into the addition of three boards:
one server board: IVPS, which is the VoIP gateway for ISAM-V
Note: the IVPS is plugged in an LT position, but performs server functions.
two LIM boards: POLT board, providing POTS interface connectivity BALT board, providing ISDN Basic Access (ISDN BA) interface connectivity
Architecture View
ISAM-V nodes are connected to an EMAN An ISAM-V node integrates either: the server card, IVPS, performing the signaling and OAM functions of the GW a number of NB LTs cards (POLT-A and BALT-A) performing the media functions both types together MEGACO and SIGTRAN signaling and external voice service OAM are
terminated at IVPS Internal control and signaling communication between IVPS and NB LTs uses XLES protocol. IVPS card is located into a hub node From the voice service point of view, one IVPS can control several ISAM-V cascading nodes (up to 4 levels) with a number of NB LT cards as well as several ISAM-V distributed nodes (i.e. accessible via a common EMAN) with a number of NB LT cards All User Port in one NB LT are controlled from the same IVPS Note: Although it is not a system constraint, the network deployment should be planned so that all user ports in one shelf are associated to/ controlled by only one IVPS. This is recommended for two different reasons:
simplest network architecture with an easier operation to keep compatibility with further features in order to limit the bandwidth/number
of calls per shelf
The different traffic flows related to voice service are isolated into different
VLANs which are defined over the EMAN and in the ISAM SHub:
Voice VLAN:
RTP traffic and XLES signaling is carried over this VLAN
MEGACO VLAN:
for MEGACO signaling traffic between CS and the media GW and SIGTRAN signaling between ASP and the signalling GW

1 System Overview
IVPS
The IVPS communicates with the voice line boards by means of an extended BLES (XLES) proprietary protocol. The IVPS terminates the proprietary signaling messages from the voice boards, provides a MEGACO interface with the call server and handles the specific OAM needed to support VoIP service. The IVPS functions are:
The signaling interface with the call server or soft-switch (MEGACO signaling) Internal proprietary protocol (XLES) for signaling supervision and control with
POLT line termination boards Digit Map processing (either under Megaco reception or by CDE data) Specific OAM interface needed to support VoIP configuration and service Persistent storage of the voice service database including back-up and restore Regarding ISDN signaling:
IVPS performs message relay between the DSS1 XLES messages containing Q921
and the IUA over SCTP messages that carry the Q931 info towards the ASP. IVPS relies the ISDN signalling packets (DSS1) from/to UDP-XLES socket and translates those related to Q921 info (SAPI, TEI) to/from IUA/SCTP. Q931 layer is not processed by IVPS or BALT, but transparently sent/received as SIGTRAN packets information to/from the Call Server. Configuration data:
IVPS stores the L1 activation type (per-call or permanent) for each port. When the communication with a BALT is established, IVPS sends this information to BALT.
POLT
The POLT supports up to 48 POTS interfaces and integrates functions such as ringing, digit detection and tone generation. The POLT provides a classical POTS interface towards the subscriber and performs the packetization of the voice over RTP, sending the voice directly to the network as VoIP over Ethernet. This is the analogue Z interface connecting to a telephone set. The main common features are the following:
Interfacing at subscribers side according to the POTS analogue Z interface: Line feeding Symmetrical programmable ringing Polarity reversal Programmable line impedance with echo cancellation Overvoltage protection Signaling events processing and communication with IVPS according to internal
XLES protocol DTMF/pulse detection/processing Caller identification services (FSK, DTMF, on-off hook) Tone generation towards subscriber side Howler tone generation Tone generation towards network side (needed for ring-back tone) Metering pulses generation
1 System Overview
Ringing generation. Integrated line testing Coding (G.711 and either G.729 or G.723.1) and packetizing voice in RTP and
directly forwarding to/from packet network based on MAC/IP/UDP addresses Voice activity detection, comfort noise, packet loss concealment Near end echo cancellation Fax/modem detection/bypass Support of relay of DTMF and some fax/modem tones by means of RFC 2833
BALT
The interface of the BALT corresponds to the U reference point of the Digital Transmission System as defined in G.961. The interface provides full-duplex and bit independent transmission via two wires at a net bit rate of 144 Kbit/s, a transparent 1 Kbit/s service channel and a 1 Kbit/s maintenance channel for loops and error messages on subscriber lines, plus synchronization bits. Duplex transmission is achieved through the use of Echo Cancellation Hybrid. With the Echo Cancellation Hybrid method the Echo Canceller (EC) produces a replica of the echo of the transmitted signal that is subtracted from the total received signal. The echo is the result of imperfect balance of the hybrid and impedance discontinuities in the line. The 2B1Q encoding is applied; the symbol rate on the line is therefore 80 KBaud. In the case of ISDN BA over IP, the functionality is split between the BALT line board and the IVPS board. The BALT board supports 24 ISDN BA user ports and terminates Q.921 data links; IVPS establishes a SIGTRAN communication with the ASP. ASP is responsible for terminating IUA/SCTP and processing the Q.931 messages. The BALT functions are:
Line Termination for the U interface of ISDN Basic Access ITU G.961 G.711 (A,), G.729a/b, G.723.1 coding Local Echo cancellation (G.168, G.165, none) 16 ms. tail length Voice activity detection, comfort noise, packet loss concealment Configurable jitter buffer: adaptive or fixed size (per call) Automatic fax/modem detection and bypass (transparent fax and modem service) Enhanced end-to-end tone detection and generation (as per RFC 2833) Call progress tone generation: Dial Tone, Special (Information) Dial Tone, Ring Back Tone, Congestion Tone, Busy Tone
1 System Overview
DTMF digit detection: when a call is in stable phase and the user sends DTMF
digits to, for example, an automatic Call Centre, the BALT must detect the DTMF. Support for duplication of RTP streams for future Lawful Interception implementation Regarding ISDN signaling:
Termination of Q921 protocol (SABME,UA, RR,..., timers, states,...) BALT establishes, releases and maintains data links with TEs as specified in Q.921.
For this, BALT controls LAPD sequence numbers, maintain Q.921 state machines, etc. There is one established data link for each TEI. There is one data link established between BALT and IVPS. XLES for POTS is transported inside that data link. Dynamic TEI assignment is done by BALT The ASP (through IVPS) may command the removal of a particular TEI. BALT carries out this action and notifies it to IVPS. Also, ASP may ask for TEI status.
Foreign voltage (AC/DC): This test is measuring foreign voltage between wires. Capacitance: This test is measuring capacitance between wires. Insulating resistance: This test is measuring insulating resistance between wires. Impedance: This test is measuring the impedance between wires. Termination (M Socket detection): This test is to detect whether a phone or just a resistance connects the line. Feeding voltage: This test is performed measuring voltage over wires in open circuit and verifying voltage remains within thresholds. Feeding current: This test is performed connecting a resistor loading the wires and measuring the current in limiting mode. Noise level: This test is to detect abnormal noise level, e.g. crosstalk
1 System Overview
Group test:
This test consists of a combination of predefined electrical measurements requested by the OS as previous electrical measurement tests. It includes a combination of voltage, capacitance and insulating resistance measurements. It can be performed on ISAM-V devices in 10 s. Thirteen possible measurements are:
AC Foreign voltage: a/Earth, b/Earth and a/b DC Foreign voltage: a/Earth, b/Earth and a/b Capacitance: a/Earth with b grounded, b/Earth with a grounded and a/b Insulation resistance: a/Earth with b grounded, b/Earth with a grounded, a/b and b/a

2 Software Architecture
System Initialization
In the first phase of the system initialization, the NT board detects the LT boards, the ACU and the appliques (HW) and downloads the appropriate SW to the LT boards. The LT boards start up with their SW and perform their specific initialisations. After these initialisations, each LIM board sends a signal to the NT board. The second phase of the system initialization begins when the NT board receives this signal. Now the NT board configures each LT board.
Enable External 7302 ISAM Management
When the LT boards are configured, the 7302 ISAM management is enabled on the NT board and the 7302 ISAM indicates that the initialization is fully complete and the system is operational. Note: For more information about the initialization and startup of the 7302 ISAM please refer to the Operations and Maintenance Using CLI.

The NT Controller and the SHub subsystem each contain a separate SNMP agent. The NT Controller / LIMs and the SHub subsystem can be managed via an EMS. It is also possible to use local TL1 or CLI craft terminal on the NT board to manage the LTs. An integrated CLI approach is implemented on the NT board using an CLI agent. This agent implements CLI commands for the NT Controller / LIMs and the SHub subsystem. However, there is no semantical integration. Table 2-1 shows an overview of the managers which are involved:
Table 2-1 Manager Overview
Type EMS (for example, 5523 AWS) CT Description Element Management System (EMS) based on SNMP. The Alcatel WorkStation (5523 AWS) is commonly used. Craft Terminal using TL1 commands or Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
Note: External OAM VLAN The SHub subsystem supports inband management. This happens through a dedicated VLAN, which must be configured (if different than 4043) on both the SHub subsystem as on the NT.

Introduction
This chapter describes the different ISAM subrack types supported for the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) market. For each subrack, the following characteristics are described:
Subrack dimensions Physical areas Slot positions Supported plug-in units (per release).
3.2
General
The modular organization of the ISAM system allows a wide range of physical size and traffic capacity options. The basic building blocks of the ISAM system are the subracks or shelves(*).
(*):
The ISAM R2.x is a one-subrack system. Daisy-chaining multiple shelves via Extender boards is not supported. It is possible to cascade multiple collocated shelves via the standard Fast Ethernet (FE)/Gigabit Ethernet (GE) subtending links. In such a configuration, each subrack will operate and be managed as a separate system.
Subrack Types
Table 3-1 gives an overview of the supported subrack types in ETSI configurations. The subracks comply with the standards of ETSI 300 386.

Splitters for the xDSL LIMs can not be mounted in the XD-LT subrack and will be put in a separate subrack. one NT I/O applique: This applique is a full size board which plugs into both NTIO connectors, located high in the DSL cabling area of the subrack. one SMAS board: This small board serves as a subrack identification resource. It is plugged into the backplane and is delivered as an integral part of the subrack. Notes:
No PWR I/O board is developed for the XD-LT subrack. The power connectors
are available in the connector area. No specific Termination Plugs are supported for R2.5.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply:
The XD-LT subrack is not equipped with a TEST/SPARE bus. When the 1:N LT
redundancy and/or MTA functionality needs to be supported, the necessary provisions need to be available in the connected splitter device (refer to section 4.1.2). The XD-LT subrack will not be ready to support 72-line boards.
1+1 NT Redundancy
NT redundancy is supported from R2.2 onwards (HW & SW). NT redundancy is supported in the following boards:
1:N LIM
The 1:N redundancy of the LIMs is not supported in the XD-LT subrack itself since no TEST/SPARE bus is available. When this functionality is required, the necessary provisions need to be available in the connected splitter device. 1:N LIM redundancy is not a supported R2.x feature.

RIP is a routing protocol based on the distance vector algorithm. With RIP, routers periodically exchange entire tables.
RJ-45
The RJ-45 is a single-line jack for digital transmission over ordinary phone wire, either untwisted or twisted. It is the interface for Ethernet standards 10Base-T and 100Base-T. Remote Management Interface Residential Network Manager Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol RSTP is specified in IEEE 802.1w. It replaces the spanning tree protocol specified by IEEE 802.1d. RSTP is targeted at switched networks with point-to-point interconnections, and allows for much quicker reconfiguration time (approximately 1 s) by allowing a rapid change in port roles.

STP
Spanning Tree Protocol A technique based on an IEEE 802.1d standard that detects and eliminates forwarding loops in a bridged network. When multiple paths exist, STP selects the most efficient path for the bridge to use. If that path fails, STP automatically reconfigures the network to activate another path. This protocol is used mostly by local bridges.
