5. Configuration Using the NMS

Parameter

Description

 

 

VPI/VCI Detect Setting

Specify the port behavior with regard to VPI/VCI

 

detection:

 

„ On – The DSLAM will monitor the line to determine

 

the VPI and VCI settings of the remote ADSL

 

modem and set itself accordingly. If no ATM cells

 

are detected (at any VPI/VCI setting), the port will

 

default to VPI 0 and VCI 35.

 

„ Off – The port will use the default setting of VPI

 

and VCI (0/35 if not changed by the setting of VPI

 

and VCI, below), or lock in the VPI/VCI already

 

discovered while VPI/VCI detection was On.

 

 

Data Rate Setting

If you have selected a Port Mode of Fixed or Fixed

 

Adaptive, specify the maximum upstream and

 

downstream rates, in bps.

 

 

Filter IP Address Settings

Specify up to four IP address ranges. Packets are

 

accepted from source IP addresses in the ranges

 

specified.

 

 

Protocol Setting

Click in the check box to enable Protocol Setting

 

detection. Select Allow Selected and specify up to four

 

Ethertypes allowed on the ports.

 

 

DHCP Option 82

Specify whether DHCP Option 82 is enabled, and if it

 

is, whether packets are identified by IP address or

 

circuit ID. This identifier is added to packets to let your

 

DHCP Server recognize which DSLAM port an IP

 

address request is coming from, thereby allowing the

 

DHCP Server to limit the number of IP addresses

 

assigned per port.

 

 

VPI and VCI

Specify a default VPI and VCI if VPI/VCI Detect

 

Setting (above) is Off.

 

 

Frame Type

Specify whether the ports use Logical Link Control

 

(LLC) or Virtual Channel Multiplexing (VCM) bridged

 

encapsulation. These are defined in RFC 1483.

 

 

Standard Mode

Specify the ports’ DSL mode.

Paradyne 4929 DSLAM manual Parameter Description

4929 DSLAM specifications

The Paradyne 4929 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) represents a significant advancement in broadband access technology, designed to facilitate high-speed internet connectivity over existing copper phone lines. Its deployment has empowered telecommunications providers to offer enhanced services, ensuring reliable and efficient data transmission.

One of the main features of the Paradyne 4929 DSLAM is its ability to support multiple DSL technologies. Primarily, it accommodates both Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL), allowing operators to offer various service tiers depending on customer needs. This flexibility caters to both residential consumers seeking basic internet access and businesses requiring higher bandwidth and improved performance.

The Paradyne 4929 is designed with a robust architecture that supports high-density line cards. This enables the multiplexing of numerous DSL connections, maximizing the number of subscribers that can be served from a single unit. Additionally, its compact design and modular construction allow for easy scalability, ensuring that providers can expand capacity as subscriber demand grows without major overhauls to existing infrastructure.

Another notable characteristic of the Paradyne 4929 DSLAM is its advanced capabilities for traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features. By implementing intelligent traffic prioritization, the DSLAM can optimize bandwidth allocation for different types of data, ensuring that critical applications such as VoIP and streaming services receive the necessary resources for smooth performance. This focus on QoS enhances user experience and customer satisfaction.

The DSLAM also integrates seamlessly with the existing network infrastructure, supporting various management and provisioning protocols, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This facilitates real-time monitoring and maintenance, allowing operators to quickly address issues and optimize performance.

Moreover, the Paradyne 4929 DSLAM includes built-in security features, protecting against unauthorized access and potential cyber threats. This increased security aspect is crucial for service providers looking to safeguard their networks and customer data.

In summary, the Paradyne 4929 DSLAM stands out in the competitive landscape of broadband access technologies. With its support for multiple DSL standards, high-density capabilities, intelligent traffic management, and robust security measures, it remains a reliable choice for telecommunications providers aiming to deliver high-speed internet services effectively. The 4929 DSLAM's adaptability and performance make it a strong contender in the evolution of broadband technology, driving the digital transformation in both residential and business environments.
