User Side
At the user side, each 7302 ISAM terminates DSL links and a limited number of FE
or GE links.
It is possible to connect subtending DSLAMs to the FE/GE links at the user side in:
cascading mode: a chain of 1 subtending ISAM per ISAM

star mode: multiple subtending ISAMs per ISAM
ring mode (except when there is a ring behind a Hub-ISAM).

1 System Overview
Network Side
At the network side, the 7302 ISAM terminates GE or FE links. The following
configurations are possible:
Connected to one or more Ethernet Switches

The Ethernet links can be connected to one or more Ethernet Switches. These
Ethernet Switches forward the frames over the Ethernet based aggregation access
network until they reach the IP Edge Router or BRAS of the corresponding
Network Service Provider (NSP). At the IP Edge Router or BRAS, the frames
enter the IP backbone of the NSP.
More than one FE/GE link (link aggregation)
In case of more than one FE or GE, Ethernet link aggregation is used.
Directly connected to an IP Edge Router
The 7302 ISAM can be connected directly to the IP Edge Router or BRAS. The
Ethernet aggregation network is reduced to one or more parallel Ethernet links.
Note: A link is a term which is used to refer to the physical layer of an interface of
the 7302 ISAM, for example, an ADSL link, an Ethernet link.

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.
seven external ethernet ports with an optical, electrical FE or GE interface, which

can be used for network uplinks, subtending links (aggregation of traffic from or
to other DSLAMs) or Ethernet subscriber links.
These seven ports are physically available:

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.

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
The following applies for the ISAM-V product architecture:
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
External OAM VLAN:

for provider operation and management
Both hub and subtending (cascading or remote (distributed)) configurations are

possible. In cascading configurations, the connection to the hub is via Fast or
Gigabit Ethernet (optical or electrical) to the SHub of the hub node.

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

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.
Integrated Line Testing

The integrated Line Testing functionality can be used by the operator in order to
detect failure conditions and anticipate possible problems.
Note: Only line testing of POTS line terminations can be tested.
Tests can be performed on demand (required by an operator command).
The following test can be performed:
Electrical measurement test:

The purpose of these tests is the measurement of electrical parameters. These tests
do not require customer assistance. Any or all of these tests can be invoked in the
same test request for a given user port. Electrical measurement tests are:
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

1-17
Edition 02 Released
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
Dial tone test:

This test checks the ability of the line circuit to detect an off-hook and to check
the provision of the dial tone from the MGC.
An off-hook condition is simulated in the NE. This off-hook must be detected by
the line circuit and is further processed by call-handling software; the MGC will
then interpret it as a real off-hook and will send a dial tone. The time is measured
and compared with a predefined threshold. Returned result is the delay to dial
tone.
Howler tone test
This test lets the user know that the mike is not hooked on correctly and restores
the user state from parking to idle after the user hooks on the mike. If the user does
not hook on the mike, the howler tone is stopped after a predefined timeout. The
howler tone level and frequency depend on different countries specifications.
Status monitor
This test lets the operator know the indicated users status.

7302 ISAM System Initialization
General
This section describes the initialization of the 7302 ISAM.
After the SHub subsystem and the LT shelf subsystem are powered up, the boot
sequence starts for each subsystem.
SHub Subsystem Initialization

While booting, the SHub subsystem retrieves all necessary parameters from memory
or from pre-configured defaults. A pre-defined OAM VLAN with VLAN ID
(IC-VLAN= 4094) is fixed and cannot be used in the connected network because the
value 4094 is reserved and may not be used externally. This internal OAM VLAN is
also pre-defined in the NT-LT initialisation. This VLAN is used for the software
download to the LTs and the configuration of the LTs.
If a configuration database was saved, and the SHub subsystem was set to restore this
configuration before the last system down, the SHub subsystem will retrieve this
configuration.
The SHub subsystem is now operational.
For more information, refer to the Operations and Maintenance Using CLI.
LT Shelf Subsystem Initialization

Since the NT board is the system manager, it has the control over the system init
phases of the LT shelf subsystem and is responsible for the sequencing of the
initialization phases of the NT board and the rest of the 7302 ISAM. This is in
contrast to the SHub subsystem which is initialized independently. The initialization
of the LTs and the SHub subsystem happen parallel. However as long as the SHub
subsystem is not up, the NT will not establish communication with the LTs. The NT
software can check if the SHub subsystem is alive.
The LT shelf subsystem initialization consists of the following phases:
Local NT initialization
System initialization
Enable external 7302 ISAM management
Local NT Initialization
The following phases are identified for the local NT initialization:
Boot phase
Overall SoftWare (OSW) startup
Initialization phase
Restore data from non-volatile memory
In this phase the LT boards boot and wait for the NT board to get their OSW.
2-4
Edition 02 Released

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.

Edition 02 Released

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.

Subrack dimensions
Physical areas
Slot positions
Supported plug-in units (per release).
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(*).
(*):
Both names are used for the same item.
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.

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:
ECNT-A
ECNT-C CB
1+1 LIM Redundancy
The backpanel is already provisioned to support the 1+1 LIM redundancy. The
necessary will have to be mounted in the splitter subrack (XD-SP) since appliques
cannot be mounted in the XD-LT subrack itself.
1+1 LIM redundancy is not a supported R2.x feature.
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.

XD Standard Splitter Subrack (ASPS-C)

The XD-LT subrack is splitterless. Therefore, the splitter appliques for the LT boards
need to be housed in a separate subrack. The XD-PSP subrack is a cost-improved
version of the XD-SP subrack. The main characteristics of this new subrack type are:
The subrack has no backplane will be equipped (no MTA support, no LT

redundancy support).
The subrack can house up to 16 xDSL line boards. Each board is able to handle
48 lines.
The subrack can be mounted in the existing ETS rack frame of an XD Modular
system (above the XD-LT subrack) or in a standard 19 rack. By re-orienting the
mounting brackets, the subrack can be mounted in frames.
The XD-PSP subrack is supported from R2.2 on.
Mnemonic
The mnemonic is ADSL SPlitter Subrack version C (ASPS-C).

Rack Configurations
The following applies for rack configurations:
An XD Modular rack contains only XD-LT , XD-SP and/or XD-PSP subracks.

A XD-Combo300 rack contains only XD-Combo300 subracks.
ISAM Location
The ISAM configurations described can be installed in various locations:
conventional CO , CEV or remote cabinets.
Note: The XD-Combo300 configuration can only be installed in a CO location.
Subrack Type Identification

The subrack type is defined by four bits identifying the BackPlane TYPe (BP-TYP)
and four bits identifying the NT SLOT_ID (bits 4 to 1). This Physical Location
IDentification (PLID) and the NT SLOT_ID are hardcoded, Table 5-1 gives an
overview.

Edition 02 Released
No LT boards are supported with optical interfaces, fiber handling does not pose any
practical restrictions for the LTs.
Small Form Pluggables

For fibers directly connected to the NTs (where each NT supports three Small Form
Pluggable (SFP) fiber interfaces), the following applies:
SFPs with thin fibers (thin fibre cross-section = 1.3 mm):

On the NT slots, a maximum of 16 thin fibers or 8 per NT can be wired. So no
restrictions to support the maximum of 2 NT x 3SFPS/NT x 2 fibers per SFP = 12
thin fibers
SFPs with standard fibers (standard fibre cross-section = 3 mm):
The limit of 4 standard fibers that can be wired for the sum of the 2 NT slots gives
a restriction: that is, maximum 2 SFPs with standard fiber for the sum of 2 NTs.
The supported SFP pluggable optical modules are listed in the table below.

1+1 NT Redundancy Support

The NT Redundancy feature is supported from R2.2 onwards.
Four levels of redundancy can be identified:
Link redundancy
Equipment redundancy
Subscriber Line redundancy
Application redundancy
NT redundancy will implement the Link Redundancy and Equipment Redundancy

in a decoupled architecture. This results in the following redundancy cases:
Only link protection:

single NT, active-standby or load-sharing uplinks.
Combined NT and link protection, no NTIO:

dual active/standby NT, with direct uplink or link set.
Decoupled NT and link protection, single NTIO:

dual active/standby NT, NTIO board with link switches.
NT protection, passive link protection, no NTIO:

single, active-standby or load sharing uplinks.
Subtending System protection.

MTA and 1:N LT Redundancy Support

This section describes which hardware modules are required to support the various
MTA functions and 1:N LT Redundancy.
ISAM R2.5.x does not support 1:N LT redundancy. The remainder of this section will
therefore focus on MTA.
The ISAM system provides an integrated Metallic Test Access Unit (MTAU)
function. Both limited test-access (no test and split access) and Full test-access (no
test, loopback, monitor and split access) are supported in ISAM R2.5.
The following modules are required to implement the MTAU function:
NT-I/O board in XD-LT/Combo subrack:

to provide the (hardened) interface for communication between the NT and the
Test-I/O applique in the splitter subrack (TAUS unit).
The following NT-I/O board types support this functionality: ECNC-A, ECNC-B
and ECNC-C.
Test-I/O applique (TAUS) in the splitter subrack:
to provide the interface to the test head and manage the Relay Controllers on the
LT appliques. The following Test-I/O board types support this functionality:
TAUS-A.
The Test/Spare bus to provide (test or protection) access to a selected line.
This spare bus is implemented on the backpanel of the XD-SP subrack and in the
XD-Combo300 subrack.
LT appliques in the splitter subrack, that contain the relays to set up the proper
data paths.
Table 6-4 shows for all supported LT appliques in how far MTA (SW and HW
functionality) and 1:N redundancy (HW functionality only) is supported.
Splitters supporting only outward test-access are equipped with only 1 relay per line,
while splitters supporting both inward and outward test-access have 2 relays per line.
