Hotwire DSLAM System Description

MCC Card

The chassis requires one MCC card, which is a processor card that administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to the DSL cards. It acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) system, such as Paradyne's OpenLanet DCE Manager for HP OpenView, via its LAN port. It gathers operational status for each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests. It also has a serial port for a local user interface to the DSLAM.

For more information, see the Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User's Guide.

RADSL or MVL Card

The chassis requires at least one RADSL or MVL card, which is a circuit card that contains four RADSL or MVL ports, an Ethernet interface to the Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a processor/packet forwarder. The processor/packet forwarder controls the endpoints and forwards the packet traffic via the Ethernet and RADSL or MVL interfaces. When the 8600 DSLAM chassis is fully populated with 5 expansion chassis, it provides a total of 68 RADSL or MVL modem ports. When the 8800 or 8810 DSLAM chassis is fully populated, it provides a total of 72 RADSL or MVL modem ports.
