Alcatel 7302 ISAM R2.4 December 2005 1-1

1.1 Introduction
The 7302 ISAM is a frame based Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
(DSLAM), that is, a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) access multiplexer which is
based on a frame forwarding architecture in a packet aggregation network.
General Network Topology

Figure 1-1 shows the basic network topology:

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).
Figure 1-2 shows the cascading topology.

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.

T T T ... T T per LT
The system consists of a Gigabit Ethernet switch fabric, that bridges or routes user,
subscriber control and network management traffic between:
• on the subscriber side:
a set of subscriber line interfaces and a number of sub-tending interfaces towards
other, hierarchically subordinate DSLAM systems.
• on the network side:
one or more Network Termination (NT) interfaces.

Service Hub 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
• 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:
• three on the Network Termination (NT) board itself
• four on the NT I/O board.

ISAM Voice Package

The ISAM Voice Package (IVP) provides support of POTS and ISDN services and
connection to Next Generation Voice Networks (NGVN) via Voice over IP (VoIP).
Figure 1-6 shows the position of the ISAM Voice Package in the NGVN.

Network Element
The IVP acts as an Access Media Gateway (MG) and connects the legacy NB user
interfaces (POTS) to the NGVN.
The ISAM Voice Package supports
• distributed configurations, where the NB user interfaces and MG are integrated
in the same node
• centralized configurations, where the MG 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 of call control and charging, and communicates with
the MGs via the MEGACO protocol (ETSI RFC 3525 / ITU-T H.248).

• Media gateway interface management
• Voice provisioning
• PSTN user ports management
Providing a full integration with the rest of 5523 domains.
1355DN is the Voice Service Manager for Alcatel Access Nodes. It provides a full
abstraction of the underlying technology used to provide the service with the
following main features:
• Voice provisioning and line testing for individual or a set of subscribers that
allows fast deployment of the network
• Migration tools mechanisms for LE or legacy AN replacement.
• Open interfaces to OSS that eases massive deployment of the service, preventive
and customer-on-call line testing and subscriber information alignment with
OSS.
The management interface between the VEM and the IVPS offers a SNMP v1
protocol. There is also a direct interface between the 1355DN and the IVPS.
The IVPS card is not equiped with a CT interface.

Product Architecture
The ISAM Voice Package architecture is that of the ISAM with the addition of voice
services. Addition of two new boards:
• one LIM, POLT, providing POTS
• one server card, IVPS, which is the VoIP gateway for ISAM Voice Package
The IVPS communicates with the voice line cards by means of an “extended BLES”
(XLES) proprietary protocol. The IVPS terminates the proprietary signaling
messages from the voice cards, provides a Megaco interface with the call server and
handles the specific OAM needed to support VoIP service.
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. The POLT supports up to 48 POTS interfaces.

2.2 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.

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.

Note: If the 7302 ISAM is configured to have only one public IP address, then the
direct SNMP management interface to the SHub is no longer available. The SHub
will then be managed through the SNMP interface of the NT.

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.

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.

3 — Subracks
3.1 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(*).
(*): 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.

5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the possible rack configurations for ISAM R2.3.
5.2 Rack Configurations
The following applies for rack configurations:

• An XD Modular rack contains only XD splitterless , XD splitter and/or XD
standard splitter 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.

General Rack Configuration

An XD-Combo300 rack contains:
• A rack cabinet: 2200 mm high.
• A door opening/closing on the left or the right side with a handle or a lock.
• A TRU (on top in the rack) with:
• A power input block for connection of CO supply cables and distribution to one or
two subracks and accompanying fan units.
• Protection devices (depending from the type of powering):
- Circuit Breakers (CB) for rack or subrack powering
- Switches (SW) for subrack powering
- No protection devices for fixed subrack powering.
• An interface to CO/CEV alarm system.
• An alarm interface to equipment inside the rack.
• A LED display indicating rack alarm conditions.
• One or two subrack(s) depending on the rack height.
• One ACU, located in the upper subrack and performing rack alarm and control
functions. When this subrack is the first of the ISAM, the ACU also provides local
Craft Interface.
Note: a rack with more than one NE has more than one ACU, the first subrack of
each NE has its own ACU.
• One Fan unit per equipped subrack, for equipment cooling.
The fan unit is a separate unit inserted in the subrack.
The first subrack in an ISAM can contain an NT unit requiring a fan unit with
twice as much fans for cooling.

Restrictions
On all R2.3 HW, no specific configuration restrictions need to be applied.
6.4 Fiber Handling Restrictions
Due to some fibre handling and routing issues, some limitation apply on the number
of fibres that can be supported by a given subrack type. Two types of fiber are
considered:
• Standard fibre : Ø 3 mm
• Thin fibre: Ø 1.3 mm
The following fiber handling restrictions apply:

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 situation is the following:
• SFPs with thin fibers (thin fibre cross-section = 1.3mm):
On the NT slots max. 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 Table 6-2:

6.5 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.

6.6 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 R2.3 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 R2.3.
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: ECNE-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 Splitter 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.

Note: In case of the XD-Combo 300 subrack, the subrack is HW ready to support
MTA and 1:N redundancy by integrating SPI interface per slot between the LT and
applique areas, and the test / spare bus.
