5. Configuration Using the NMS

Parameter

Description

 

 

Allow Tag/Untag on Ingress

Specify tag or untag.

Pkt.

Tag indicates that ingress packets already matched to

 

 

the VLAN Rule must have a VLAN tag to be further

 

considered; packets without a VLAN tag will be

 

dropped.

 

Untag indicates that ingress packets already matched

 

to the VLAN Rule cannot have a VLAN tag to be

 

further considered; packets with a VLAN tag will be

 

dropped. There can be only one untagged rule. The

 

DSLAM tries to match to a VLAN rule traffic that has

 

not matched any other rule type. If the packet is

 

untagged it will match the one and only allowed VLAN

 

rule that indicates Untagged. If the packet has a tag

 

then the DSLAM will try to find a Tagged rule that has

 

a VLAN range defined with the packet’s VLAN ID. If it

 

finds one it will use that rule, and then the packet will

 

be checked for all other criteria. If it does not find a

 

rule to match the packet VLAN ID the packet is

 

dropped.

 

 

VLAN

Specify a VLAN ID range that constitutes a match of

 

this rule. If you selected Untag, the VLAN field should

 

specify a single VLAN only if you intend to have a

 

VLAN tag added to packets; if you do not intend to

 

have a VLAN tag added to packets, the VLAN field

 

should be left at the 0 - 0 default.

 

 

Add VLAN to Ingress Pkt.

Specify whether the VLAN ID should be added to

 

ingress packets.

 

 

Priority

Specify the priority to be used when adding a

 

configured VLAN ID to a packet.

 

 

Fixed/Max

Specify the handling of VLAN priority (used only if the

 

received packet is already tagged):

 

„ Fixed – The packet's original priority will

 

automatically be replaced with the Priority

 

specified above,

 

„ Max – The packet's original priority will be replaced

 

with the configured Priority only if the packet's

 

original priority is greater than the configured

 

Priority.

 

 

Ingress Limit

Specify the ingress limit in kbps for packets matching

 

this rule.

 

 

Egress Limit

Specify the egress limit in kbps for packets matching

 

this rule.

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.
