MALC Hardware Installation Guide

MALC
This chapter provides an overview of the MALC. It includes the following
sections:

Overview, page 15

Hardware overview, page 16

Features, page 20

Overview
The Multi-Access Line Concentrator (MALC) platform provides low-cost,
high-density subscriber access concentration in the Zhone Single Line
Multi-Service (SLMS) architecture.
The MALC is a next generation design that carries voice and data services
over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Time-division multiplexing
(TDM) uplinks, or Internet Protocol (IP) uplinks. The MALC uplinks are the
primary communication channel between subscribers and upstream
networking devices. The MALC aggregates local loop traffic from a variety
of media and sends it to an upstream device, such as ATM switch, PSTN
switch, or IP router.
The MALC can be deployed in Central Office environments, outdoor
cabinets, or controlled environmental vaults for remote terminal applications.
The MALC is intended for restricted access locations only.
The single uplink from the MALC enables network providers to provision all
classes of services in a single platform and leverage the existing copper
infrastructure going to the Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) locations.
MALC cards are divided into the following general types:

Uplink cards provide ATM, TDM or IP uplinks

Access cards provide customer interfaces such as Plain Old Telephone


Service (POTS) and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).

System services cards such as the Metallic Test Access (MTAC) cards
provide services to the MALC

The MALC supports the following types of uplinks:

Chassis
There are three types of MALC chassis:

16

a 23-inch wide, 7U high unit containing 21 slots (MALC 723)

a 19-inch wide 7U high unit contains 17 slots (MALC 719)

a 19-inch wide 3U high unit contains 10 slots (MALC 319)

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Hardware overview

MALC 17- and 21-slot chassis


The 17-slot unit and the 21-slot unit are functionally equivalent, the only
difference is the number of slots supported.
The far left slot (slot 1) is for Uplink cards only. Any other type of card can be
installed in slots 2 through 21. Cables and connectors are accessed from the
front of the chassis. Power is supplied by dual 48V DC input power. At the
top of the unit is a removable fan tray. Airflow through the unit is from front
bottom to top rear. The chassis is Network Equipment Building System
(NEBS) level 3-compliant. (See Figure 2).
The Uplink cards, the primary control and management functions for the
system, can be installed in a redundant pair to provide card-level redundancy.
Figure 2: MALC 21-slot chassis

MALC 319 chassis


The MALC 319 supports all the same slot cards as the MALC with the
exception of the MTAC-FC card. The MTAC-FC card is only supported in the
MALC 319 and each MALC 319 must contain an MTAC-FC card.
The following guidelines must be observed when installing slot cards into the
MALC 319 chassis:

The top left slot (slot 1) is reserved for Uplink cards. Uplink cards can
only be installed in one of these slots.

The MTAC-FC card must be installed in the bottom right slot (slot 10).

Any other type of card can be installed in slots 2 through 9.

Cables and connectors (except for power cables) are accessed from the front
of the chassis. Power cables enter the device at the lower right rear of the unit.
Power is supplied by dual 48V DC input power. Airflow through the unit is
from left to right. The chassis is Network Equipment Building System
(NEBS) level 3-compliant. (See Figure 3).

MALC

Control bus
This bus is used for program loading and high-level message transfer between
MALC cards.

Supervisory bus
This bus is used by the active Uplink cards for low-level control and
monitoring of the other cards.

Metallic test access bus


The metallic test access bus is used by the MTAC card to gain access to cards
and the buses in the system.

Ring voltage bus


The ring voltage bus provides ringing voltage to the cards, such as the POTS
card, that require it. The MTAC card generates the ringing voltage and
controls access to the ring voltage bus.

TDM bus
The TDM bus is used by the POTS cards to send pulse code modulation
(PCM)-encoded voice traffic to the Uplink card. The Uplink card performs
the TDM-to-ATM conversion to send the TDM data to the ATM network.
Each TDM channel on the bus is assigned to a fixed channel on a POTS card.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Features

ATM
The MALC provides the following ATM support:

AAL2 termination and Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES)


signaling for all POTS cards, provided by the Uplink card.

ATM cell relay functions between an ATM switch and ATM-based IADs.
The MALC provides the Customer Premises Interworking Function
(CP-IWF) functions of the AAL2 BLES specification.

Unspecified bit rate (UBR), real-time variable bit rate-(rt-VBR), non


real-time variable bit rate (nrt-VBR), and constant bit rate (CBR) traffic.

Connection admission control (CAC) and provisioning of


oversubscription factors on a per port and per service category basis. The
CAC functions on the Uplink card will not accept new connections if they
exceed the remaining virtual bandwidth.

Policing to enforce the service contracts specified in the ATM traffic


descriptors.

ATM User-Network Interface (UNI) 3.0 and 3.1, and portions of 4.0

IMA functions to concentrate ATM traffic from up to T1/E1 lines on the


Uplink card or T1/E1 32 card to an ATM switch. The MALC supports
multiple IMA groups, depending on the type of card installed in the
system.

Administrative Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) for management and


control.

AAL2-BLES signaling
AAL2 is specified in ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union)
recommendations I.363.2, I.366.1, and I.366.2. AAL2 is designed to support
voice applications using higher layer requirements such as voice compression,
silence detection/suppression, and idle channel removal. AAL2 uses four
bytes of the forty-eight byte ATM payload, leaving forty-four bytes for data.
Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES) is a DSL forum specification
(DSL Forum TR-039 Annex A) that enables ATM-based IADs to offer
Class 5 calling features and high-speed data services over a single DSL
connection.
BLES provides management signaling for POTS interfaces using inband
Channel Associated Signaling (CAS).

IMA
The T1/E1 Uplink card and the T1/E1 32 port card provides T1/E1 IMA
support for inverse-multiplexing multiple ATM cells from a number of links
into a single large, virtual connection. The MALC supports IMA version 1.1,
including support for fallback to version 1.0.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

MALC

ATM cell relay


In a cell relay application, the MALC switches ATM cells from the uplink
interface to the subscriber-side DSL interface, and vice-versa. On the network
side, the Uplink card connects to upstream ATM devices. On the
subscriber-side, it connects to a standards-based IAD or modem. The MALC
supports both VP and VC switching.

Management PVC
The Uplink card provides an ATM PVC interface for in-band management of
the MALC. This PVC is terminated on the Uplink card and can be used to
route management traffic over the Uplink cards Ethernet port. This enables
the MALC to provide a management interface other devices in the same
location that have an Ethernet interface.

ATM-to-TDM interworking
The MALC provides an interface between TDM-based networks and ATM
networks. It supports standard POTS interfaces on the subscriber side to
provide traditional voice services. Ring voltage for the line is provided by the
MALC ring voltage bus.
On the network side, The Uplink card performs AAL2 Segmentation and
Reassembly (SAR) and terminates the AAL2 LES traffic destined for the
POTS cards. The Uplink card then encodes the voice traffic in G.711, and puts
it on the appropriate timeslot on the TDM bus to send it to the subscriber port.
Each POTS channel is uniquely addressed by a shelf-slot-port and has an
associated AAL2 LES channel identifier (CID).
The MALC can also concentrate voice traffic and send it over an uplink
interface to a voice gateway such as a Zhone Sechtor 100ATM.

T1/E1 circuit emulation


Circuit Emulation Service (CES) allows T1/E1 circuits to be transparently
extended across an ATM network. CES is based on the ATM Forum standard
AF VTOA 0078.0000. Using constant bit rate (CBR) ATM permanent virtual
circuits (PVCs), CES allows communication between non-ATM CBR circuits
(such as T1, E1, E3, and T3) and ATM UNI interfaces.
There two types of CES: structured and unstructured. In unstructured
emulation (also known as clear channel emulation) the entire services
bandwidth is emulated and reproduced at the target port. Structured emulation
service (also called channelized emulation) emulates a point-to-point
fractional T1/E1 (less than a full T1/E1 line) connections. The frame structure
is maintained. Individual streams are visible and are byte aligned. This allows
the T1/E1 trunks using the structured emulation service to break into multiple
DS-0 channels towards different destinations.

Features

IP and data services


The MALC provides an access and aggregation routing functions to connect
subscribers to the Internet or other large networks. The following MALC
interfaces support IP traffic:

One Ethernet interface on the Uplink card for management or data traffic.

High speed IP Uplink interfaces on the Uplink cards. These include T1/
E1, DS3/E3, Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3c/STM1, and OC-12c/STM4
interfaces. The ATM/IP Uplink card terminates the IP traffic and routes it
to its destination. Note that the Uplink card must be an ATM/IP card in
order for it to support IP services. Contact your Zhone sales
representative or GSS for further information.

DSL or T1/E1 subscriber interfaces. IP on subscriber interfaces runs over


ATM PVCs using RFC 1483 encapsulation.

After terminating the ATM traffic, the MALC routes the IP traffic over its
Ethernet interface to provide a connection to an IP network.
The MALC provides the following key data services:

IP forwarding and routingincoming packets from an interface are


forwarded to the appropriate output interface using the routing table rules.

Routed or bridged encapsulation.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) video. IGMP is used by IP


hosts to register dynamic multicast group membership. For example, all
members of one multicast group would view the same of video content.

DHCP servers to simplify user IP address configuration.

IP filtering. IP filtering is typically performed to enhance network


security by limiting access between two networks.

Numbered or unnumbered interfaces.

VLAN bridging.
The MALC hardware supports the following standards:

Multicast (IGMPv1 / v2)

RIP v1 (RFC 1058) RIPv2 (RFC 2453)

RFC 1483/2684 encapsulation (Bridged and routed)

DHCP server (RFC 2131, 2132)

MALC

GR-303 and V5.2


The MALC TDM Uplink card supports GR-303 or V5.2 interfaces to a PSTN
switch. The MALC can connect ATM or POTS subscriber interfaces to the
PSTN.

GR-303 overview
GR-303 is a Bellcore-defined protocol that describes an Integrated Digital
Loop Carrier System (IDLC) that operates on DS1 (T1) circuits. The GR-303
specification describes T1 circuits exiting an Integrated Digital Terminal
(IDT) and going to remote digital terminal (RDT) equipment. Zhone products
that support GR-303 act as RDTs.
GR-303 allows concentration from 1:1 to 44:1, a timeslot management
channel (TMC) data link that uses messages for call setup and tear down, the
use of signaling bits to indicate call control, and a separate embedded
operations channel (EOC) data link.
The GR-303 specification also provides for redundancy on the circuits that
carry the data links. The primary and secondary T1 circuits each carry the
TMC and EOC for redundancy.
Figure 4 shows how T1 (DS1) circuits leaving the local switch toward the
MALC are grouped into an interface group (IG). The primary DS1 channel
carries the first TMC on DS0 24 and the first EOC on DS0 12. The secondary
DS1 is a mirror image of the first, carrying the secondary TMC and EOC
channels.

ISDN overview
ISDN BRI service provides a 144kbps line rate divided between two 64kbps
B (or bearer) channels, which can carry voice calls or high-speed data, and
one 16kbps D (or data) channel, which carries call-setup information and
signaling. ISDN BRI is often called 2B+D because of its three duplex
channels. ISDN networks include terminal equipment (TE) such as phones
and faxes; network terminators (NT), such as routers and IADS at the
customer premises, which connect the four-wire subscriber wiring to the
conventional two-wire local loop; terminal adapters (TA), which allow
non-ISDN devices to access the ISDN network; and line termination (LT)
equipment, which terminates the ISDN line at the local switch.
An NT1, or Network Termination-1, is required to connect ISDN terminal
equipment to an ISDN line. The NT1 connects to customers phones with a
two-wire line. This two-wire interface is referred to as the U interface or U
reference point, and is accessible via a modular RJ-11or miniature 8-position
(ISO 8877) jack. The connection point between the NT1 and terminal
equipment is the S/T interface, which defines a four-wire line with separate
transmit and receive pairs (and additional pairs for powering when required).
The S/T interface is accessible through ISO 8877 jacks on the NT1 and
terminal equipment.

V5.2 overview
The MALC supports the V5.2 European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI) standards G.965 and ETSI EN 300 347-1 V2.2.2. These

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

25

MALC

specify a set of electrical, physical, procedural, and protocol requirements for


connecting an Access Node (AN) to a Local Exchange (LE). In this context
the MALC acts as an AN.
The MALC system uses V5.2 for analog telephone (POTS) access and ISDN
basic rate (BRI) access.
V5.2 services are supported by combinations of 64 Kbps V5 bearer channels,
communication, and control protocols.
Each 2.048 Mbps E1 interface uses 32 timeslots. Timeslot 0 (zero) is used for
frame alignment. Timeslot 16 of the first E1 link is used by the V5.2 control
protocol.
C-paths (communications paths) are carried over C-channels
(communications channels). C-channels are used to carry signaling traffic. A
V5.2 interface may contain up to 44 C-channels. C-channels are restricted to
timeslots 15, 16, and 31 in accordance with the ETSI specification.
Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between links, C-channels, and C-paths.
Figure 5: V5.2 links, C-channels, and C-paths

POTS voice
The MALC supports standard POTS and ISDN interfaces to provide
traditional voice services. Ring voltage for the line is provided by the MALC
ring voltage bus. The POTS cards support dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF)
dialing only. Pulse dialing is not supported.
To support POTS functionality in the MALC chassis, an ATM voice gateway,
is required in order for the MALC to connect to a Class 5 switch.

26

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Features

VoIP
Voice over IP, also known as Internet Telephony, supports full duplex
transmission of voice traffic over IP networks. The MALC supports Media
gateway control protocol (MGCP) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

MGCP overview
Media gateway control protocol (MGCP) provides the means to interconnect
a large number of IP telephony gateways. MGCP assumes that a call agent
(CA) performs the intelligence of all call-control operations and that a media
gateway (MG) carries out all media processing and conversion.
MGCP provides an internetworking control system to control telephony
gateways from external call control elements are referred to as call agents. A
telephony gateway is a network element that provides conversion between the
audio signals carried on telephone circuits and data packets carried over the
Internet or over other packet networks.
MGCP assumes a call control architecture in which the call control
intelligence is outside the gateways and handled by external call control
elements. The MGCP assumes that these call control elements, or Call
Agents, will synchronize with each other to send coherent commands to the
gateways under their control. MGCP does not define a mechanism for
synchronizing Call Agents. MGCP is, in essence, a master/slave protocol,
where the gateways are expected to execute commands sent by the Call
Agents.
MGCP assumes a connection model constructed of endpoints and
connections. Endpoints are sources or sinks of data and could be physical or
virtual.
Examples of physical endpoints are:

An interface on a gateway that terminates a trunk connected to PSTN


switch (for example, a Class 5 or Class 4 switch). A gateway that
terminates trunks is called a trunk gateway.

An interface on a gateway that terminates an analog POTS connection to


a phone, key system, PBX, etc. A gateway that terminates residential
POTS lines (to phones) is called a residential gateway.

An example of a virtual endpoint is an audio source in an audio-content


(media) server.

Creation of physical endpoints requires hardware installation, while creation


of virtual endpoints can be done in software.
Connections may be either point-to-point or multipoint. A point-to-point
connection is an association between two endpoints with the purpose of
transmitting data between these endpoints. Once this association is
established for both endpoints, data transfer between these endpoints can take
place.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

27

MALC

SIP overview
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol that provides a
mechanism for:

call establishment

call teardown

call control

other supplementary services in an IP network.

There are two major architectural components within SIP: the SIP user agent
(UA) and the SIP network server. The UA is the end system component
responsible to initiate and answer calls. The SIP server is the network device
that handles the signaling associated with multiple calls.
The UA itself has a client element, the User Agent Client (UAC) and a server
element, the User Agent Server (UAS). The client element initiates the calls
and the server element answers the calls. This allows peer-to-peer calls to be
made using a client-server protocol.
The main function of the SIP server is to provide name resolution and user
location, since the caller is unlikely to know the IP address or host name of the
called party, and to pass on messages to other servers or SIP endpoints. Other
functions performed by the SIP servers are redirecting, forking, and
registration.
Together these components make up a basic SIP infrastructure. Application
servers can sit above these components delivering SIP supplementary services
to end users.

Voice gateway
The MALC voice gateway card (VG-T1/E1-32-2S) enables voice connections
from an ATM and IP voice network to a TDM local exchange switch using
GR-303 or V5.2 protocols.
The following connection types are supported.

Redundancy
The MALC supports the following types of redundancy:

Uplink card

APS for the OC-3c/STM1 Uplink and OC-12c/S4/GE/TDM Uplink cards

Uplink card redundancy


The MALC supports Uplink and MTAC/Ring card redundancy. Cards in a
redundancy group share the same card-group-id. When you install a single
card that supports redundancy, the system assigns that card to a default
redundancy group.
To configure redundancy, assign a second card of the same type to the same
card group and optionally assign each a weight. Weights are used to specify a
preference for a particular card to become active. By default, all cards have
the same weight.
When the cards boot up, they elect an active and a standby card based on their
respective weights. If the weights are equal, the card in the lower numbered
slot becomes active.
If an active card fails, the standby takes over and becomes active. Note that
redundancy is non-revertive. That is, a previously active card does not
become active when it starts up again.
When the standby card comes up, the active card copies over the
configuration database, routing tables, and software binaries to the standby
card. As configuration changes are made to the active card, the standby card is
automatically updated.

APS
The OC-3c/STM1 and OC-12c/S4/GE/TDM cards provide Automatic
Protection Switch (APS) on their ports. APS allows the primary card to be
backed up by the second card, and hence reduces the risk of loss of data due to

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

31

MALC

cable cuts, degradation of signal, and card failure. APS also allows the far-end
equipment to request for switch-over via the use of APS command.
The OC-3c/STM1 card supports APS 1:1 protection. The OC-12c/STM4 card
supports both APS 1:1 protection and APS 1+1 protection.
In the 1:1 protection scheme, a working channel on one card carries the full
traffic, while a protect channel on another card is either idle or reserved for
low priority traffic. When a failure occurs on the working fiber, the
destination switch moves the data from the working fiber to the protect fiber.
In the 1+1 protection scheme, a working card transmits the same data in one
direction on the working channel while a protect card simultaneously
transmits the same data in the opposite direction on the protect channel. When
both transmissions reach the destination switch, the data on the protection
channel is ignored. When a failure occurs on the working channel, the
destination switch uses the transmission from the protect channel.
MALC-OC-3c/STM1 and OC-12c/STM4 card supports the following APS
features:

Failures such as LOS, LOF, AIS-L, and hardware failure.

APS 1:1 configuration, with far-end configured as 1+1 or 1:1. OC-12c/


STM4 APS 1+1 configuration.

Linear APS mode.

Uni-directional and bidirectional with non-revertive mode.


Note: Two Uplink cards are required for APS.

Overview of SONET/SDH APS


Due to the high speed nature of SONET/SDH, APS is designed as a high
speed switching protocol to minimize the risk of out of service in the event of
hardware failure or a cable cut. APS uses the SONET/SDH K1K2 byte to
signal between the local and far-end equipment. Only the protection line
exchanges the K1K2 byte between the local and far-end equipment.
To ensure interoperability with other vendors equipment, the MALC APS
implementation conforms to the Bellcore GR-253-CORE and ITU-T G.783
specifications.
SONET/SDH APS supports the following modes:

32

Linear APS: Linear mode supports both APS 1:1 and 1+1 architecture.
The architecture must be consistent between local and far-end equipment.
Otherwise, an architecture mismatch will occur.

Bi-directional mode: APS bi-directional mode allows negotiation


between local and far-end equipment. The action performs by APS is
based on event priority and acknowledgement from far-end.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Features

Uni-directional mode: APS uni-directional mode allows fast switching by


eliminating the acknowledgement from far-end.

Non-revertive modes: Only a manual switch-over or a fail-over will cause


traffic to switch from one port to another. Switching does not take place
based on restoring of the working port.

Working card and protection card


The MALC defines the Uplink card in slot 1 as the working card, and the
Uplink card in slot 2 as the protection card. The working card always has the
APS working ports. The protection card always has the APS protection ports.
The exchange of K1K2 byte takes place only on the protection card.

SONET/SDH APS + card redundancy


In APS + card redundancy, a line failure will cause the whole card to fail-over
to another card. However, switching will not take place on the standby card.
The following features are supported by APS + card redundancy:

Switching on loss of transmit/receive line (LOS, LOF, AIS-L)

Switching on hot-swap card removal

Switching on far-end APS command

Switching on hardware failure

Management
The MALC has two primary management interfaces: an ATM Virtual Channel
(VC) which carries only Simple Network Management (SNMP) traffic, and a
1483-routed IP connection. Both connections are terminated on the Uplink
card.
After establishing a connection to the MALC, administrators can manage the
device using the Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP, or the ZMS.
The Uplink card also contains a serial (craft) session for local management.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Tools you need

Install the MALC in accordance with national and local electric codes to
meet central office requirements. Consult a qualified electrical consultant.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the optical ports of the
MALC when no cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into
open apertures.

Preventing electrostatic damage


The system slot cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD
can cause component failure and degraded system performance. Take
adequate precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) with these
cards. Always wear a properly-grounded wrist strap or equivalent protection
when handling system cards.
Handle each card by its front panel or stiffener. Never touch the solder side,
connector pins, or components on a printed circuit card, and do not allow
cards to come into contact with one another.
To prevent damage to system cards when not in use, store and handle the
cards in their original antistatic bags. Keep the cards in their original packing
cartons to prevent damage caused by dust or dirt. Be sure to store the cards in
areas that are free from excessive humidity and temperatures.

Power supply safety information


Install an equipment grounding conductor not smaller in size than the
ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors as part of the circuit that
supplies the product or system. Bare, covered, or insulated grounding
conductors are acceptable. Individually covered or insulated equipment
grounding conductors should have a continuous outer finish that is either
green, or green with one or more yellow stripes. Connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to ground at the service equipment.

ventilation.
Install the system in reasonable proximity to all equipment with which it will
connect. Ensure that proper cable grades are used for all system and network
connections. For best results, use the cables and connectors recommended in
this document.

Installation precautions
Avoid creating a hazardous condition by maintaining even weight distribution
within the chassis.
WARNING! Two people are required to lift the MALC 719 or
MALC 723 systems because they weigh too much for one person
to lift. Do not attempt to lift the system chassis without assistance
or personal injury can result.
Maximum operating temperature should not exceed 550C (1310F). The
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than ambient room
temperature when the system is installed in a closed or multiunit rack
assembly. Observe the maximum recommended operating temperature as
indicated here.
Do not block system air vents; this will deprive the system of the airflow
required for proper cooling. Sufficient clearance must exist on all sides of the
rack to permit equipment access.
Zhone recommends using cabling ducts for cable routing in rack mounts.

Power requirements and specifications


Separate A and B power feeds allow two individual 48V DC power sources
to be connected to the MALC system. The Return (+) terminals are
common.For the 19- and 23-inch MALC chassis, the power wiring is
field-terminated inside the lower front of the chassis. The MALC 319 chassis
is provided with factory-terminated power cables.
Note: The installation site must include overcurrent protection, such
as fuses or circuit breakers, that will limit current at the A and B
power inputs.

Cabling rules
Following are power cabling rules applicable to the MALC system.

Provide an appropriate disconnect device as part of the building


installation for systems such as the MALC that receive power from an
external, auxiliary, or emergency source. When power is routed from a
power distribution frame, the disconnect device can be used as a power
cutoff (for example, an ON/OFF switch or breaker).

Connect all disconnect devices so that they disconnect all ungrounded


conductors of a DC power circuit when placed in the OFF position.

All power cables must be rated VW-1 or higher.

Use power cabling of 10 AWG for applications of 25 feet (7.62 m) or less


from the central power distribution bus.

Note: Bare, covered, or insulated grounding conductors must comply
with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) standards. Individually covered
or insulated grounding conductors shall have a continuous outer

The equipment grounding conductor should be connected to the
ground at the service equipment. The grounding cable must be rated
at VW-1 or higher.
Zhone recommends grounding the MALC using minimum 10 gauge
copper wire and NRTL-listed two hole compression-type connectors
(such as Amphenol part number 1527272-3).

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

55

Installing the MALC

Grounding requirements
Use the guidelines in this section to provide a system ground for the
MALC.
Before concluding a MALC installation and applying DC power, measure
the impedance of the building ground reference and ensure that it is less
than 25 ohms, for safety. Use an ECOS 1023 POW-R-MATE or an EMC
Instrument Model 3710 or similar meter to do this. Zhone recommends
that the impedance be 5 ohms or less for proper equipment operation.
If the ground path connected to the MALC has an impedance of more
than 5 ohms, make improvements to the grounding system before
installing the MALC equipment.
Other grounding requirements are as follows:

56

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

The earth ground rod is normally buried in the ground at the site.
Observe local electrical codes for buried grounding techniques and
requirements. Ensure that the ground rod has been installed per local,
telco, and NEC code requirements.

Use a dedicated power source that is only shared with other isolated
bonding network (IBN)-configured equipment to provide power to
the MALC and all other related equipment. This prevents interference
from possible high surge or noise currents present in some industrial
buildings. Otherwise, you must ensure a proper grounding path of
less than 5 ohms to the building ground.

Use the ground bus of a dedicated AC service panel as the location/


site ground of the MALC equipment. This ground bus must already
be connected to the main service panel ground or main building
ground reference.

The impedance of the link between the ground terminal of the MALC
and the location/site ground to which it is connected must be less than
0.25 ohms.

The rack the MALC is installed in must be properly grounded.

Never connect a single-point-ground conductor from the MALC to


structural steel members or electrical conduits. Specifically, never tie
this conductor to a ground source or grounded electrode that is not
hard-wired to the building ground reference conductor.

It is recommended to avoid running in-building cabling near


fluorescent lights and other sources of high frequency radiation such
as transformers.

Avoid spliced conductors. Use continuous conductors, which have


lower impedance and are more reliable than spliced ones.

Terminate all conductors in a permanent manner. Ensure all


terminations are easily visible and accessible for maintenance
purposes.

Connecting power to the MALC and grounding the chassis

Tag ground connections clearly with a message such as CRITICAL


CONNECTION: DO NOT REMOVE OR DISCONNECT.

Although some electrical codes permit the use of a conduit as the sole
ground conductor between equipment, it is still recommended to use a
separate insulated ground conductor through the same conduit. The
separate insulated ground conductor maintains the safety ground
connection if the conduit is corroded or disconnected.

Avoid a ground path via serial craft interface RS-232C. The MALC
RS-232C local craft interface has pins referenced to ground. To
prevent undesirable ground path via an attached computer, it is
recommended that you only use a portable computer. If only a
desktop computer or VT-100 type monitoring equipment is available,
use it in conjunction with a UL/CSA Certified RS-232 Opto-Isolator.

Ground conductors for the MALC must meet the following requirements:

No smaller than 10 AWG at any point.

Does not carry current under normal operating conditions.

Must be tied to the +48V battery return at the main power


Distribution Center

Should be hardwired to the main ground reference.

Connecting power to the MALC and grounding the chassis


Use the following procedure to connect the wiring between the MALC
terminal block and the power supplies.
1

Remove the MALC lower bezel.

Remove the air filter.

Figure 18: Removing the front bezel and air filter

13 Route a 10 AWG conductor from each chassis to a common 2 AWG
frame ground collector that connects to the single point building ground
in an IBN. Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the conductors and that
they touch bare metal. Do not connect the cables to the single point
building ground at this time.

16 Secure the hex bolts to the chassis.
17 If you suspect that there are grounding issues, it may be necessary to
verify the ground by performing the following steps.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

59

Installing the MALC

Caution: This procedure is service affecting and requires that


ground be isolated from the equipment. Perform this procedure
during a maintenance window.
a

To verify the ground, connect one lead of the insulation tester to a


known good ground point and the other lead to a grounding cable
from the frames you have just installed. The polarity of the leads is
not important for this test.

Set the test voltage to 500 V dc and measure the leakage current
between the frame ground cable and the known good ground. The
leakage current should be less than 1.5 mA (or better than 2 megohms
if you are using an instrument that provides an output reading in
ohms).

If the leakage current is greater than 1.5 mA (or the resistance is less
than 2 megohms) check the installation of the isolation shims and
repair as necessary.

Repeat the test on the grounding cable from each frame until you
have tested all frame ground cables.

The system is now live and ready to initialize the slot cards as they are
installed. In the absence of any slot cards, there is no activity on the system.
The Power A and Power B LEDs on the front panel of the unit should be solid
green, indicating power is normal. For information on the chassis LEDs, see
Reading the LEDs on page 63.

Connecting power to the MALC 319 and grounding the


chassis
The MALC 319 comes with 10 AWG power cables pre-installed. To connect
the MALC 319 power cables:
1

Connect the wire marked - 48 A to the power supply A negative terminal.

Connect the wire marked + RTN A to the power supply A positive


terminal.

Connect the wire marked - 48 B to the power supply B negative terminal.

Connect the wire marked + RTN B to the power supply B positive


terminal.

Route a 10 AWG conductor from each chassis to a common 2 AWG


frame ground collector that connects to the single point building ground
in an IBN. Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the conductors and that
they touch bare metal. Do not connect the cables to the single point
building ground at this time.

Remove the screw from the grounding connector and secure a


compression-type connector. See Figure 24.

If you suspect that there are grounding issues, it may be necessary to


verify the ground by performing the following steps.
Caution: This procedure is service affecting and requires that
ground be isolated from the equipment. Perform this procedure
during a maintenance window.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

61

Installing the MALC

To verify the ground, connect one lead of the insulation tester to a


known good ground point and the other lead to a grounding cable
from the frames you have just installed. The polarity of the leads is
not important for this test.

Set the test voltage to 500 V dc and measure the leakage current
between the frame ground cable and the known good ground. The
leakage current should be less than 1.5 mA (or better than 2 megohms
if you are using an instrument that provides an output reading in
ohms).

If the leakage current is greater than 1.5 mA (or the resistance is less
than 2 megohms) check the installation of the isolation shims and
repair as necessary.

Repeat the test on the grounding cable from each frame until you
have tested all frame ground cables.

Connect the ground cable(s) routed in Step 5 and tighten the bolt. Use a
minimum torque of 12 inch-lbs to ensure that the grounding cable is
securely fastened.
Note: Some MALC terminal blocks have a quarter-turn screw.
For these units, turn the screw 1/4 turn clockwise to tighten.

Tighten the nut on the chassis ground lug to secure the cable in place. Use
a minimum torque of 12 inch-lbs to ensure that the grounding cable is
securely fastened.

placed at least two inches away from the communication cables. This can be
accomplished by tie-wrapping and routing the power lines behind the rack
(route the communication cables in front of the rack).
Note: To comply with FCC regulations, cables and connectors must
be shielded. If you intend to install cable covers, the maximum height
of the connector head and cable should be two inches.
If the MALC is going to be installed in an inside plant, the cables
must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
MALC system connectors are located in the front of the chassis. No
cables are included with the installation kit. You must order any
cables that are required.

System cables and connectors

Connecting optical ATM trunking cables


WARNING! The single-mode fiber optic interfaces on the OC-3c/
STM1 and OC-12c/STM4 Uplink cards emit invisible laser
radiation that may cause harm. When an optical cable is
connected to the card, the radiation is confined to the cable and
does not present a hazard. However, if you are servicing the
OC-3c/STM1 Uplink or OC-12c/STM4 Uplink cards, always use
the following precautions:

Disconnect the card from the MALC before installing or


removing cables

Ensure that the protective rubber tips cover the SC connectors


when not in use

Never look directly into the optical ports


1. Disengage the OC-3c/STM1 Uplink card from the MALC backplane to
ensure that the optic interface is not emitting laser radiation.
2. Remove the protective rubber tips from the SC connectors on one end of
the fiber optic cable or cables.
3. Remove the protective rubber tips from the SC connectors on the OC-3c/
STM1 Uplink card.
4. Gently insert the SC on the cable into the Tx and Rx ports on the Uplink
card.
5. Connect the other end of the cable that is connected to the Uplink card Tx
connector to the Rx port on the ATM device.
6. Connect the other end of the cable that is connected to the Uplink card Rx
connector into the Tx port on the ATM device.

Fiber optic maintenance and handling


This section describes how to clean the optical connectors and receptacles
used with Zhone Technologies equipment. These processes should be applied
to optical components only in instances where degraded performance is
evidence that the connection is contaminated.
This section contains the following information:

Laser radiation on page 79

Handling optical fibers on page 80

Repairing optical fibers on page 82

Laser radiation
Zhone equipment and associated optical test sets use laser sources that emit
light energy into fiber cables. This energy is within the red (visible) and
infrared (invisible) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Laser products are subject to federal and state or provincial regulations, and
local practices. Regulation 21 CFR 1040 of the U.S. Bureau of Radiological
Health requires manufacturers to certify each laser product as Class I, II, III,
or IV, depending upon the characteristics of the laser radiation emitted. In
terms of health and safety, Class I products present the least hazard (none at
all), while Class IV products present the greatest hazard.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

79

System cables and connectors

Read and observe the following precautions to decrease the risk of exposure
to laser radiation.
WARNING! Risk of eye damage. At all times when handling
optical fibers, follow the safety procedures recommended by your
company.
Although Zhone optical products have a Class I certification, hazardous
exposure to laser radiation can occur when fibers connecting system
components are disconnected or broken. Certain procedures carried out
during testing require the handling of optical fibers without dust caps and
therefore increase the risk of exposure. Exposure to either visible or invisible
laser light can damage your eyes under certain conditions.
During service, maintenance, repair, or removal of cables or equipment,
follow these rules:

Avoid direct exposure to fiber ends or optical connector ends. Laser


radiation may be present and can damage your eyes.

Follow the manufacturers instructions when using an optical test set.


Incorrect calibration or control settings can result in hazardous levels of
radiation.

Handling optical fibers


When you work with optical fibers, you must take these precautions:

80

Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.

Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are
not always visible and can damage your eyes. If you have a piece of a
glass in your eye, get medical assistance immediately.

Never look into an active optical fiber or a optical fiber connector opening
of an active or powered-up unit.

Prevent direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends


where you can directly access the laser signal. Do not handle pieces of
optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers or adhesive tape to lift and
discard any loose optical fiber ends.

Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves
prevent direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent
contamination of the ferrules with skin oils.

Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that
purpose.

Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe
location during installation.

Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Fiber optic maintenance and handling

Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of
radiation.

Selecting cleaning materials


Materials used for cleaning Zhone Technologies equipment should be high
quality and suitable for the purpose.

Disconnect the cable end to be cleaned.

Using inert dusting gas, blow accumulated dust and debris off the
cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector.

Apply optical-grade isopropyl alcohol to a cleaning tissue.

Gently wipe the tissue over the cylindrical and end face surfaces of the
connector perpendicular to the cable, then fold the cloth and repeat the
operation. Always use a clean tissue. Reusing the same portion of the
tissue may result in recontamination.

Dry the connector by blowing it with inert dusting gas for two seconds,
holding the nozzle approximately inch from the end of the connector.

Recap or reconnect the connector promptly to avoid contamination.


Check for proper system function.

Optical cleaning kits are available from optical supply sources.

Cleaning a connector
1

Disconnect the cable end to be cleaned.

Using inert dusting gas, blow accumulated dust and debris off the
cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector.

Apply optical-grade isopropyl alcohol to a cleaning tissue.

Gently wipe the tissue over the cylindrical and end face surfaces of the
connector perpendicular to the cable, then fold the cloth and repeat the

tissue may result in recontamination.

Dry the connector by blowing it with inert dusting gas for two seconds,
holding the nozzle approximately inch from the end of the connector.

Recap or reconnect the connector promptly to avoid contamination.


Check for proper system function.

Cleaning a receptacle
Clean the optical ports on modules only if there is evidence of contamination
or reduced performance. To minimize contamination and cleaning, keep all
optical ports securely covered with a connector or a dust cap.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

81

System cables and connectors

Using the extension tube supplied with the inert dusting gas, blow into the
optical port to remove any accumulated dust and debris. Do not allow the
tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.

Using a swab with a small head, such as TexWipe Microswab, and


optical-grade isopropyl alcohol, wipe out the optical port.

Recap or reconnect the receptacle promptly to avoid contamination.


Check for proper system function.

Repairing optical fibers


When an accidental break in the fiber feeder cable occurs, take the following
steps:

82

Notify both central-office and field-repair personnel of the problem.

Identify to central-office personnel what fibers are damaged.

Power off all laser sources related to the damaged fibers (whether located
at the central office, subscriber premises, or remote location).

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

MANAGING THE MALC


This chapter describes how to log into the MALC and add a remote
management channel. It includes the following sections:

Logging into the serial (craft) port, page 83

Configuring a management interface, page 84

Logging into the serial (craft) port


Note: Do not use the serial craft port of a standby card to modify its
configuration.
The MALC unit provides an out-of-band RS232 D serial (craft) interface for
managing the unit. To access the serial port, configure your terminal interface
software with the following settings:

9600bps

8 data bits

No parity

1 stop bit

No flow control
Tip: The serial (craft) port settings can be changed by modifying the
rs232-profile.

You must perform the initial configuration of the system using the serial
(craft) interface. After you have completed the initial configuration, you can
manage the MALC unit over the network through a telnet session over the
Ethernet interface or over the management PVC.
Note: The MALC supports 6 concurrent management sessions, 5
telnet sessions and a single local session through the serial (craft)
port.

Logging in and out of the system

Uplink card 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface


The MALC has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface on the Uplink card. The
ip-interface-record for the Uplink card is named ethernet1. This interface is
shared between the two Ethernet ports on redundant Uplink cards (if they
exist). The system can be reached using the address configured in the
ethernet1 ip-interface-record, no matter which card is active.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring a management interface

Caution: The Uplink card Ethernet interface must be configured


before any other interfaces on the system, even if you do not intend to
manage the unit over the Ethernet.

Configuring the Ethernet IP interface


The following example configures the IP address for the system:
zSH> interface add 1-1-1-0/ethernetcsmacd static 192.168.8.21 255.255.255.0
Created ip-interface-record ethernet1/ip

Note: If you have problems with IP interfaces not automatically


binding, refer to for more information.

Verifying the interface


Use the interface show command to verify that the Ethernet interface was
configured correctly:
zSH> interface show
Interface
Status Rd/Address
Media/Dest Address IfName
--------------------------------------------------------------------------1/1/1/0/ip
UP

00:01:47:65:02:f2 1-1-1-0

Creating a default route


The following example creates a default route using the gateway
192.168.8.1 with a cost of 1 (one):
route add default 192.168.8.1 1

Verifying the route


Use the route show command to verify that the routes were added:
zSH> route show

Adding a route to the remote LAN


After creating the IP interface, you might need to create a route to the
remote devices LAN interface using the route add command. The
command uses the following syntax:
route add destination mask next-hop cost

For example, in the following configuration, add a route to the


192.168.10.0 network using the MALC Uplink interface as the gateway.

GigE-2 Uplink card configuration


This section describes configuration procedures for the GigE-2 Uplink card. If
these procedures are required, they should be done before provisioning the
system. This section includes:

Configuring redundant Uplink cards on page 94

Adding GigE-2 cards to the primary Uplink node on page 95

Adding redundant Uplink cards to RPR nodes on page 97

Adding GigE-2 Uplink cards in linear mode on page 97

Configuring redundant Uplink cards in linear mode on page 97

Changing the RPR line type on page 98


Note: For information about creating an RPR ring, refer to the
MALC Configuration Guide.

Configuring redundant Uplink cards


Caution: When adding redundant Uplink cards, note the following:
You must configure redundant physical interfaces on both the active
and standby cards. This applies to all Uplink cards. In addition, you
must manually keep the configuration of the physical interfaces on
the active and standby cards in sync.
Each card must be running the same software version and have the
same size flash card.
Note: When configuring the redundant Uplink card, the settings in
the card-profile for the both cards must be identical.
To add a redundant Uplink card to the system:
1

Verify that active card has been configured with the same card-group-id
that is to be used for the standby card.

Install a second Uplink card in slot 2.

Create a card-profile for the second Uplink card:


By default, the GigE-2 card is configured to carry data-only traffic. You
can modify the GigE-2 card to specify that the RPR ring carry voice and
data traffic by modifying the card-line-type in the card-profile. The
following line types are supported for RPR nodes:

94

Small form factor pluggables


Zhone Technologies supports a variety of small form factor pluggables (SFPs)
which you select depending on the protocol, fiber type and distance
requirements.
These SFPs (optical transceivers) are high performance integrated duplex data
links for bi-directional communication over multimode or single mode optical
fiber. All Zhone Technologies SFPs are equipped with LC receptacles, which
are compatible with the industry standard LC connector. These SFP
transceivers measure 0.532 inches in width and provide double port densities
by fitting twice the number of transceivers into the same board space as a 1x9
transceiver. They also operate at +3.3V. All supported SFPs are
hot-swappable, therefore enabling SFPs to be easily changed regardless of
whether the power is on. In addition, if an incorrect SFP is plugged in the user
will receive a mismatcherror in their management software.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Overview
IMA provides multiplexing and demultiplexing of ATM
traffic on the cell level as described in the ATM forum
AF-PHY-0086.001. On the subscriber side, the Uplink card
provides ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2) termination for
POTS cards. The Uplink card also provides system
management services such as software and configuration
database storage, management, and monitoring.
The T1/E1 Uplink card supports both IMA and UNI mode.
The Uplink card contains an Ethernet port for local
management, local LAN connectivity, or IP uplink; a T1/
E1 IMA interface for user traffic; and a serial (craft) port
for local management.

Overview
The following MALC cards support IMA groups:

T1/E1 IMA Uplink

T1/E1-ATM-32

Each card supports 16 IMA groups. The MALC T1/E1-ATM-32 card


provides 32 T1/E1 UNI or IMA ports. All ports must be configured as either
UNI or IMA. When these cards boot up, the system creates the IMA groups
and assigns the T1/E1 links to the following groups:

Note the following about multiple IMA groups:

In a redundant Uplink configuration, you must configure IMA groups on


both the active and standby cards

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

115

T1/E1 Uplink card (Uplink-T1/E1-ATM/IP-8)

Before moving IMA links to another group, the system performs a CAC
calculation to determine whether moving the links will violate ATM QoS
settings. If so, the link will not be moved.

If you do not want a link to belong to any IMA group, it is recommended


that you admin down the interface in the if-translate profile. Do not use
the imalink remove command unless requested to by Zhone GSS.

Configuring IMA groups


The following example updates an IMA group to change the minimum
number of links in the group:
zSH> update ima-group-profile 1/1/1 shelf/slot/port

Moving IMA links


To move IMA links from one group to another, use the imalink move
command. For example:
zSH> imalink move 1-1-1-0/atmima 1-1-2-0/atmima 1-1-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

This command moves the DS1 interface 1-1-1-0/ds1 from IMA group
1-1-1-0/atm to IMA group 1-1-2-0/atmima.
If this is a redundant configuration, also move the IMA link on the
standby card:
zSH> imalink move 1-2-1-0/atmima 1-2-2-0/atmima 1-2-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

DS3/E3 Uplink card (Uplink-DS3/E3-ATM/IP)

Overview
The MALC Uplink-DS3/E3 card has two active DS3/E3
interfaces (with an option to activate up to 4 interfaces). It
provides similar services and functionality as the T1/E1
Uplink card, but with a higher capacity interface.
Note that the DS3/E3 Uplink card is unchannelized that is, it
does not support separate DS1 connections.
The DS3/E3 Uplink card contains an Ethernet port for local
management, local LAN connectivity, or IP uplinks; a DS3/
E3 interface for user traffic; and a serial (craft) port for local
management.

Changing the DS3 Uplink card line type


If, after configuring the line type for a DS3/E3 Uplink card, you need to
change the line type, delete the Uplink card-profile and recreate it.
Caution: Changing the line type for the Uplink card requires a
system reboot and deletes the system configuration.
Back up your configuration using the dump command before
changing the line type.

APS
Configuring APS
The system automatically creates the following APS profiles for SONET/
SDH OC3C/STM1 and OC12/STM4 uplink cards:

aps-channel: configures the APS channels. There are two APS channel
per port. OC-3c/STM1 cards have 2 ports and therefore four APS
channels. OC-12/STM4 cards have 1 port and 2 APS channels.

aps-group: configures the APS groups. There are up to two APS groups
on the system. Each APS group contains a working and protect channel.

The OC3C/STM1 card supports APS 1:1 protection. In the 1:1 protection
scheme, a working channel on one card carries the full traffic, while a protect
channel on another card is either idle or reserved for low priority traffic.
When a failure occurs on the working fiber, the destination switch moves the
data from the working fiber to the protect fiber.
The OC12/STM4 card supports both APS 1:1 protection and APS 1+1
protection. In the 1+1 protection scheme, a working card transmits the same
data in one direction on the working channel while a protect card

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

143

OC-3C/STM1 Uplink Card (Uplink-OC3C/STM1-ATM/IP)

simultaneously transmits the same data in the opposite direction on the protect
channel. When both transmissions reach the destination switch, the data on
the protection channel is ignored. When a failure occurs on the working
channel, the destintation switch uses the tranmission from the protect channel.
The following tables describe how the SONET/SDH cards and ports are
assigned to APS groups and channels. These values cannot be changed. The
OC3C/STM1 card has 2 ports per card and requires assignments for each port.

configured identically, including the same card-group-id, and both are
enabled.

Verify that the MALC working ports are connected to the working ports
on the SONET/SDH switch and the MALC protection ports are connected
to the protection ports on the SONET/SDH switch.

OC-12c/STM4/GigE Uplink card configuration


This section describes optional configuration procedures for the OC-12c/
STM4/GigE Uplink cards. If these procedures are required, they should be
done before provisioning the system.

Changing the OC-12c/STM4/GigE card line type


If, after configuring the line type for a OC-12c/STM4/GigE Uplink card, you
need to change the line type, delete the Uplink card-profile and recreate it.
Caution: Changing the line type for the Uplink card requires a
system reboot and deletes the system configuration.
Back up your configuration using the dump command before
changing the line type.

OC-12c/STM4/GigE cards

Enabling/disabling the SONET interface


By default, the OC-12c/STM4 interface is inactive. During maintenance, or if
the port is not in use, the SONET interface should be in the down state.
The following example enables the SONET interface in shelf 1, slot 1,
port 1:
zSH> update if-translate 1-1-1-0/sonet
Please provide the following: [q]uit.
ifIndex: ----------> {12}:

Configuring Ethernet interfaces


Each MALC Uplink card provides a single 10/100 Ethernet interface. The
OC12/STM4/GE/TDM Uplink cards also have a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
The Gigabit interface is either twisted pair or fiber LX.

158

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring Ethernet interfaces

Note: The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the OC12/STM4 and the


OC12/STM4 high performance cards are configured in the same way,
except that the Gigabit interface on the high performance card will
autodetect the media (fiber or copper) and it does not interoperate
with 10/100 Mbps devices.
The table below describes the Ethernet parameters.
Parameter

Description

autonegstatus

Enables autonegotiation. When enabled, the interface will


negotiate the options specified in the autoNegCap
parameter.
Options:
enabled Negotiate link attributes with remote partner. Final
link rate, duplex, and flow control, are determined by the
advertised capabilities on each end. The link will settle on a
speed/duplex based on the hierarchy described in the IEEE
802.3-2000 document.
disabled Do not negotiate. Link speed and duplex will be
forced to the parameters indicated in the 'mauType' field. If
the other end does not advertise those parameters (when in
autonegotiate mode), or if the other end wants to force the
link to a different speed/duplex combination, there will no
link.
Default: enabled

mauType

Ethernet physical interface type.


Values:
mauOther Supported on UTP
mau10Baset Supported on UTP
mau10Basethd Supported on UTP
mau10Basetfd Supported on UTP
mau100Basetxhd Supported on UTP
mau100Basetxfd Supported on UTP
mau1000basethd Supported on UTP
mau1000basetfd Supported on UTP
mau1000baselxhd Supported on fiber
mau1000baselxfd Supported on fiber

OC-12c/STM4/GigE cards

Parameter

Description

restart

Forces auto-negotiation to begin link renegotiation. If


auto-negotiation signaling is disabled, this parameter has no
effect.
Values:
restart Forces auto-negotiation to begin link renegotiation.
The Ethernet interface also renegotiates the link whenever
the ether profile is saved.
norestart This value is not supported.

Configuring Ethernet interfaces

Parameter

Description

autoNegCap

The capabilities of the Ethernet interface that are advertised


by this port. Note that multiple options can be specified by
adding a plus (+) sign between entries.
This parameter also controls flow control, which is used to
regulate the flow of traffic between endpoints. Flow control
cause the transmitter to stop sending traffic if it receives a
pause message from an overwhelmed far end.
For more information on flow control refer to IEEE
802.3-2000.
Values:
bOther Other or unknown
b100baseT4 Advertise 100BASE-T4
b100baseT2 Advertise 100BASE-T2 half duplex mode
b100baseT2FD Advertise 100BASE-T2 full duplex mode
b10baseT Advertise speed 10Mbps, duplex half and full
b10baseTFD Advertise speed 10Mbps, duplex full
b100baseTX Advertise 100BASE-TX half duplex mode
b100baseX Advertise 100BaseX
b100baseT Advertise speed 100Mbps, duplex half and full
b100baseTXFD Advertise 100BASE-TX full duplex
b100baseXFD Advertise 100BaseX full duplex
b100baseTFD Advertise speed 100Mbps, duplex full
b1000baseX Advertise 1000BaseX full duplex
b1000baseT Advertise 1000Mbps, duplex full
b1000baseXFD 1000BaseX full duplex
b1000baseTFD Advertise speed 1000Mbps, duplex full
bFdxPause Advertise pause for full duplex links
bFdxBPause Advertise Full (symmetric and asymmetric)
flow control
bFdxAPause Advertise Asymmetric flow control
bFdxSPause Advertise Symmetric flow control
Default:

OC-12c/STM4/GigE cards

Parameter

Description

remotefault

Indicates the state of the remote end of the Ethernet link.


Values:
noerror Link is operating normally.
offline Other end is not attempting to establish a link.
linkfailure Failed to establish a link. This could be caused
by different settings on either end of the link.
autonegerror Failed to establish a link because a matching
combination could not be found in the advertised
autonegotiation capabilities.

clksrc

Determines which side of the link will provide clocking for


the link.
If both sides are configured for automatic, both ends of the
link negotiate which will be the master and which will be the
slave based on the rules in IEEE 802.3-2000. If both sides
are configured the same (either as master or as slave) the link
will not be established.
Values:
automatic The clock source is selected based on the rules in
the IEEE 802.3-2000. This is the recommended setting.
master The local side will attempt to provide clock for the
link.
slave The local will attempt to recover clock from the clock
generated by the far end of the link.
Default: automatic

Configuring the 10/100 BaseT interface


The default values in the ether profile are appropriate for most applications. If
you need to modify the settings:
1

Find the ifIndex of the Ethernet port. For example, for the first Ethernet
port on the first Uplink card:
zSH> ifxlate 1-1-1-0/ethernetcsmacd
ifIndex: ----------> {1}
shelf: ------------> {1}
slot: -------------> {1}
port: -------------> {1}
subport: ----------> {0}
type: -------------> {ethernetcsmacd}
adminstatus: ------> {up}
physical-flag: ----> {true}
iftype-extension: -> {none}
ifName: -----------> {1-1-1-0}

To view the defaults, use the get command:


zSH> get ether 1

If you need to modify the profile, use the update command.

Configuring the 1000 BaseT interface


For the Gigabit Ethernet interface, settings you might need to configure
include the mauType and the autonegcap parameters:
1

Find the ifIndex of the Ethernet port. For example, for the second
Ethernet port (the Gigabit Ethernet port) on the first Uplink card:
zSH> ifxlate 1-1-2-0/ethernetcsmacd
ifIndex: ----------> {3}
shelf: ------------> {1}
slot: -------------> {1}
port: -------------> {2}
subport: ----------> {0}
type: -------------> {ethernetcsmacd}
adminstatus: ------> {up}
physical-flag: ----> {true}
iftype-extension: -> {none}
ifName: -----------> {1-1-2-0}

If required, use the update command to make changes to the Ethernet


interface configuration:

zSH> update ether 3


autonegstatus: -> {enabled}
mauType: -------> {mau100basetxfd} modify as necessary to support either UTP or fiber
interfaces
restart: -------> {norestart}

APS
Configuring APS
The system automatically creates the following APS profiles for SONET/
SDH OC3C/STM1 and OC12/STM4 uplink cards:

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

163

OC-12c/STM4/GigE cards

aps-channel: configures the APS channels. There are two APS channel
per port. OC-3c/STM1 cards have 2 ports and therefore four APS
channels. OC-12/STM4 cards have 1 port and 2 APS channels.

aps-group: configures the APS groups. There are up to two APS groups
on the system. Each APS group contains a working and protect channel.

The OC3C/STM1 card supports APS 1:1 protection. In the 1:1 protection
scheme, a working channel on one card carries the full traffic, while a protect
channel on another card is either idle or reserved for low priority traffic.
When a failure occurs on the working fiber, the destination switch moves the
data from the working fiber to the protect fiber.
The OC12/STM4 card supports both APS 1:1 protection and APS 1+1
protection. In the 1+1 protection scheme, a working card transmits the same
data in one direction on the working channel while a protect card
simultaneously transmits the same data in the opposite direction on the protect
channel. When both transmissions reach the destination switch, the data on
the protection channel is ignored. When a failure occurs on the working
channel, the destintation switch uses the tranmission from the protect channel.
The following tables describe how the SONET/SDH cards and ports are
assigned to APS groups and channels. These values cannot be changed. The
OC3C/STM1 card has 2 ports per card and requires assignments for each port.
Table 35: OC3C/STM1 Card APS Assignments

Verify both the working and protect SONET/SDH interfaces are


configured identically, including the same card-group-id, and both are
enabled.

Verify that the MALC working ports are connected to the working ports
on the SONET/SDH switch and the MALC protection ports are connected
to the protection ports on the SONET/SDH switch.

The TDM/ATM Uplink card provides GR-303 and V5.2
support for the MALC. The card occupies a single slot in
the MALC chassis and has 16 T1/E1 ports. The first eight
ports are ATM T1/E1 ports; the second eight are TDM T1/
E1 ports. The ATM ports provide multiplexing and
demultiplexing of ATM traffic on the cell level as described
in the ATM Forum AF-PHY-0086.001.
The Uplink card also contains an Ethernet port for local
management, local LAN connectivity, or IP uplink; and a
serial (craft) port for local management.
The TDM ports receive GR-303 or V5.2 signaling and
convert it to PSTN analog signaling.
Note: Pulse dialing is not supported on the TDM/ATM
Uplink card.

Overview
The following MALC cards support IMA groups:

T1/E1 IMA Uplink

T1/E1-ATM-32

Each card supports 16 IMA groups. The MALC T1/E1-ATM-32 card


provides 32 T1/E1 UNI or IMA ports. All ports must be configured as either
UNI or IMA. When these cards boot up, the system creates the IMA groups
and assigns the T1/E1 links to the following groups:
Links

IMA group

1-4

5-8

9 - 12

13 - 16

17 - 20

21 - 24

10

25 - 28

11

29 -32

12

Note: (T1/E1 32 card only) IMA links 1-16 can only belong to IMA
groups 1-8 and links 17-32 can only belong to IMA groups 9-16.
Note the following about multiple IMA groups:

In a redundant Uplink configuration, you must configure IMA groups on


both the active and standby cards

Before moving IMA links to another group, the system performs a CAC
calculation to determine whether moving the links will violate ATM QoS
settings. If so, the link will not be moved.

If you do not want a link to belong to any IMA group, it is recommended


that you admin down the interface in the if-translate profile. Do not use
the imalink remove command unless requested to by Zhone GSS.

Moving IMA links


To move IMA links from one group to another, use the imalink move
command. For example:
zSH> imalink move 1-1-1-0/atmima 1-1-2-0/atmima 1-1-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

This command moves the DS1 interface 1-1-1-0/ds1 from IMA group
1-1-1-0/atm to IMA group 1-1-2-0/atmima.
If this is a redundant configuration, also move the IMA link on the
standby card:
zSH> imalink move 1-2-1-0/atmima 1-2-2-0/atmima 1-2-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

After moving the links, you can use the imalink show command to view
the links in the group:
zSH> imalink show 1-3-1-0/atmima
DS1 Links for IMA Group 1-3-1-0/atmima:

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
This chapter explains how to configure the system level settings on the
MALC. It contains the following:

Adding redundant Uplink cards, page 193

Dual, non-redundant Uplink cards, page 200

System clocking, page 204

Adding redundant Uplink cards


The MALC supports Uplink card redundancy, in which two Uplink cards are
installed in the system, one primary and one standby. The card installed in the
lower slot becomes the primary card, and shares configuration information
with the standby card. If the primary card goes down, the standby card takes
over.
After install an Uplink card in the MALC chassis, you can add a redundant
Uplink by installing a card of the same type and creating a new card-profile
for it.
Caution: Both Uplink cards in a redundant pair must have flash
cards of the same size and must be running the same software version.
Ensure all redundant and spare Uplink cards are upgraded to the
current software version.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

193

System Configuration

The following table describes the parameters in the card-profile used to


configure Uplink cards:
Parameter

Description

card-group-id

The unique redundancy group to which the card is assigned. A card group can contain at
most two cards and redundant card pairs must be in the same card group.
Note that you cannot change a non-zero card-group-id. The card-profile must be
deleted and reprovisioned.
Values:
0 to 65535
Default: 1 (for Uplink cards)
2 (for MTAC/Ring cards)
0 (for non-redundant cards)

weight

A weight given to this card that determines whether this card should become the active
card after both cards are reset. Cards in a card group negotiate which cards are active and
standby by comparing weights. Cards with higher preferences become active. If multiple
cards have the same weight, the card in the lower numbered slot becomes active.
Values:
noPreference No preference.
neveractive The card never becomes active.
slightpreference
mediumpreference
highpreference
Default: noPreference

Configuring redundant Uplink cards


Caution: You must configure redundant physical interfaces on both
the active and standby cards. This applies to all Uplink cards. In
addition, you must manually keep the configuration of the physical
interfaces on the active and standby cards in sync.
Note: When configuring the redundant Uplink card, the settings in
the card-profile for the both cards must be identical.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

197

System Configuration

To add a redundant Uplink card to the system:


1

Verify that active card has been configured with the same card-group-id
that is to be used for the standby card.

Install a second Uplink card in slot 2.

Create a card-profile for the second Uplink card:

Verifying redundancy status


The showactivecards and showredundancy commands display
information about MALC redundancy.
The showredundancy command displays the status of the Uplink card
redundancy:
zSH> showredundancy
Redundancy status for card 01:01 - Safe, all services have redundant peers
01:01 is active storage
01:02 is standby storage

The showactivecards command displays the active cards for all

MALC DS3

Dual, non-redundant Uplink cards


The MALC chassis can include two non-redundant DS3/E3 or OC3C/
STM1 Uplink cards. In this configuration, only cell relay is supported and
there is no Uplink card redundancy.

Configuring non-redundant Uplink cards


Caution: Changing to non-redundant Uplinks requires you to erase
the system configuration and should only be done during a
maintenance window.
This procedure requires serial port access to the MALC.
By default, two Uplink cards of the same type in the same chassis are part of a
redundancy group. Converting these cards to non-redundant requires that you
reassign these cards to the redundancy group 0 (which means they are not
redundant).
To add non-redundant Uplinks:
1

Back up the configuration. To back up the configuration to the network:


a

200

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Create the file in the destination location of the TFTP server and
make it writable.

Dual, non-redundant Uplink cards

Save the configuration using the dump command. The following


example saves the configuration to a file named malc.cfg on the host
192.168.8.21:
zSH> dump network 192.168.8.21 malc.cfg

Erase the configuration:


zSH> set2default

Wait for the uplink card in slot 1 to reach the running state.

List the if-translate profiles. Note that the if-translate profile addresses
are in the form uplink1/type for port 1 and uplink2/type for port 2, and so
on. For example:
zSH> list if-translate
if-translate 1-1-1-0/ethernetcsmacd
if-translate ethernet1/other
if-translate 1-1-1-0/rs232
if-translate 1-1-1-0/sonet

System Configuration

Managing the MALC over a non-redundant Uplink


In a dual, non-redundant configuration, the system is managed over only one
of the Uplink cards a time. The first card active in the system (by default, the
card in the first slot) contains the management channel.
To maintain a management connection to the device, you should provision a
management channel on both Uplink cards. In this case, if the Uplink card
that is managing the MALC reboots, the other Uplink card takes over
management of the system. The management channel can either be over the
Ethernet or an ATM PVC. In either case, the IP addresses for each of the
Uplink cards must be on different subnets.

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

System clocking

The DS1 interfaces on the T1/E1 Uplink card

The DS3 interfaces on the DS3 Uplink card

OC-3c/STM1 interfaces on the OC3C/STM1 Uplink card

OC-12c/STM4 interfaces on the OC12/STM4 Uplink card

The BITS clock source on the MTAC/Ring card (which has a type of
DS1)
Note: Interfaces that are designated as eligible clock sources cannot
be set to through timing

The MALC creates system-clock-profiles for each interface that can provide
clock for the system. These profiles define the clock sources that are eligible
to provide system clock and defines the weights for the clock on the interface.
If there are multiple active interfaces configured as eligible clock sources, the
system selects a clock source based on the weight configured in the
system-clock-profile. If a primary clock source has been configured in the
system profile, this clock source overrides all other clocks.
Note the following information about redundant clock sources on the MALC:

By default, interfaces are not eligible to provide clock.

The clock source with the highest weight becomes the primary clock
source. Weights are from 1 (lowest priority) to 10 (highest priority).

If a clock source is defined in the primaryclocksource parameter in the


system profile, that clock source takes precedence over the settings in the
system-clock-source profiles, if any. Clock sources defined in the system
profile are given a weight of 11.

If you assign weight to a clock source that is higher than the currently
active clock source, or if you assign a clock source in the system profile,
the system will switch over to the new clock source.

The following table describes the parameters used to provide clocking for the
the system.

Redundant clock sources are revertive by default. If a standby clock source
becomes active after the failure of a primary clock source, the system will
revert to the primary clock source after that clock source becomes active
again. Note that the clock source must be active for 30 seconds before the
system will revert back to the primary clock source.

Viewing clock source information


To view the clock information on the system, use the clkmgrshow
command. This command has the following syntax:
clkmgrshow [current | eligible | list ]

210

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

current: displays the current primary and secondary clock sources.

eligible: displays only the eligible clock sources. Eligible clock


sources are interfaces that are configured as eligible and are active.

System clocking

list: lists the eligible and non-eligible clock sources. Non-eligible


clock sources are interfaces that either not configured as eligible, or
are not active.

For example, to display the eligible and non-eligible clock sources:

MALC ADSL interfaces comply with the ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, G.992.1
(G.dmt) and G.992.2 (G.lite) specifications. They support:

Annex A mode (ADSL over POTS)

Fast or interleaved channel modes


Note: For information on configuring the POTS interfaces of the
ADSL card, see POTS cards on page 311.

Transmission modes
This section briefly describes the supported ADSL transmission modes.

G.lite
G.lite, defined in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
specification G.992.2, allows downstream speeds of up to 1536 Kbps.
Advantages of G.lite modems include:

No voice splitters required at the customer premises to separate voice and


data traffic.

Fast retrain capabilities enable the modems to respond quickly to


changing line conditions.

Efficient power management capabilities allows the modem to reduce


power consumption during periods of low data transfer.

Full rate
Full rate T1 ADSL modem. This is used for connecting to full rate T1.413
issue 2 modems.

G.dmt
G.dmt is a higher-bandwidth variant of G.lite that provides for downstream
speeds of up to 8160 Kbps. G.dmt is defined in ITU specification G.992.1.

214

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Overview

Rate adaption
The ADSL card supports rate adaption, which enables it to respond to
changing line conditions by adjusting the line rate. At startup, the ADSL
modems negotiate a data rate. If the line conditions change, the line drops and
the modems attempt to retrain (possibly at a different line rate).

Training
The ADSL modem uses signal-to-noise ratio measurements to adjust its
performance to maintain a bit error rate (BER) of 10-7 or better. The minimum
margin is the floor at which the modem will maintain a connection. The
maximum margin is the ceiling for power cutback. The target margin is the
lowest margin that the modem tries to achieve when training and adapting.

and retrains

The system will try to attain the target signal-to-noise margin when training.
If the line reaches the maximum bit rate and the actual margin is below the
maximum margin, the line operates normally. If the margin rises above the
target margin, the modem drops the connection and retrains once, then drops
the power to enforce the maximum margin.
If, after a connection is made, the margin drops below the target margin, the
modem attempts to increase the margin. If the minimum margin cannot be
kept, the modem drops the connection and retrains.

24-port single-slot ADSL card (ADSL-24)

The 24-port ADSL card occupies a single slot in the MALC


chassis. It supports the ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, G.992.1
(G.dmt) and G.992.2 (G.lite) ADSL standards.
The discrete multitone (DMT) modulation technique used in
G.dmt and G.lite modems modulates user data into as many
as 255 separate frequency-division multiplexed modem
channels. Each modem channel (or tone) occupies
approximately 4KHz of analog bandwidth. The ADSL
DMT modem does not use the first 20KHz of the signal,
which are the frequencies POTS lines use. The ADSL card
does not have an integrated splitter, it requires an external
splitter.

The 24-port ADSL+POTS card occupies two slots


in the MALC chassis and provides 24 ports of
integrated ADSL and POTS service. It supports
the ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, G.992.1 (G.dmt) and
G.992.2 (G.lite) ADSL standards.
Each port on the card has an internal passive
splitter to separate the ADSL data traffic from the
POTS voice traffic. At the customer premise, the
IAD requires a splitter to separate the data and
voice traffic coming over a single line.
Each ADSL and POTS interface on the card is

Overview

32-port ADSL card (ADSL-32A)

The 32-port ADSL card occupies a single slot in the MALC


chassis. It supports the ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, G.992.1 (G.dmt)
and G.992.2 (G.lite) ADSL standards.
The discrete multitone (DMT) modulation technique used in
G.dmt and G.lite modems modulates user data into as many as
255 separate frequency-division multiplexed modem
channels. Each modem channel (or tone) occupies
approximately 4KHz of analog bandwidth. The ADSL DMT
modem does not use the first 20KHz of the signal, which are
the frequencies POTS lines use.
The 32-port ADSL card does not have an integrated splitter, it
requires an external splitter.

Activating ADSL cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.

Verifying the slot card installation


After you save the card-profile record, the slot card in that slot resets and the
begins downloading their software image from the flash card. This could take
a few moments.
When the card has finished loading, a log message similar to the following is
displayed (if logging is enabled):
zSH> Card in slot slot-number changed state to RUNNING

You can also use the slots command and specify the slot number of the
card to view the state of the card. For example:

Configuring ADSL tone ranges


The MALC supports setting the active upstream and downstream tone ranges
for ADSL modems on the single-slot ADSL (24-port and 32-port) cards.
Although this is not typically required, changing the range of tones can affect
the maximum throughput of the channel as well as providing isolation from
certain interference.
The following parameters in the adsl-profile specify the range of active
tones for the DSL modem:

AdslMaxDownstreamToneIndex

AdslMinDownstreamToneIndex

AdslMaxUpstreamToneIndex

AdslMinUpstreamToneIndex

For POTS lines, the valid frequency range in the downstream direction is
128 KHz to 1020 KHz. In the upstream direction valid frequency range is
24 KHz to 120 KHz.
ADSL occupies from about 24KHz to 1100KHz. (The theoretical limit is
15 bits/Hz.)
Note: Changing of any of these parameters will cause the
modem to retrain.

242

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring ADSL interfaces

Configuring an ADSL downstream interface


Configure the ADSL downstream interface in the adsl-co-profile. The
following parameters are supported in this profile:
Parameter

Description

rateMode

The transmit rate adaptation configured on this


modem. Supported values:
fixed: The rate is negotiated at startup and remains
fixed. Modem speed is determined by the
fastMaxTxRate or interleaveMaxTxRate
parameters.
adaptatstartup: The rate is negotiated at startup
and remains fixed. Modem speed is determined by
the fastMaxTxRate or interleaveMaxTxRate
parameters. If the line is able to support a higher
rate, the rate above the minimum is assigned to the
available channel (either fast or interleave).
adaptatruntime: The rate is negotiated
dynamically and can vary between the maximum
and minimum configured rates. If the line
conditions change during runtime, the line speed is
adjusted.

targetSnrMgn

Target signal to noise margin (in tenths of dBs).


This is the noise margin the modem must achieve
with a BER of 10-7 or better to successfully
complete initialization.

maxSnrMgn

Maximum acceptable signal/noise margin (in


tenths of dBs). If the noise margin rises above this
the modem attempts to reduce its power output to
optimize its operation.

minSnrMgn

Minimum acceptable signal to noise margin (in


tenths of dBs). If the noise margin falls below this
level, the modem attempts to increase its power
output. If that is not possible the modem will
attempt to re-initialize or shut down.

fastMinTxRate

Minimum transmit rate (in bps) for channels


configured for fast transmission mode.
For a CO interface, the range is 32Kbps to
8160Kbps (1536Kbps for G.Lite).

interleaveMinTxRate

Minimum transmit rate (in bps) for channels


configured for interleaved transmission mode.
For a CO interface, the range is 32Kbps to
8160Kbps (1536Kbps for G.Lite).

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

243

ADSL cards

Parameter

Description

fastMaxTxRate

Maximum transmit rate (in bps) for channels


configured for fast transmission mode.
For a CO interface, the range is 32Kbps to
8160Kbps (1536Kbps for G.Lite).

maxInterleaveDelay

Maximum interleave delay for this channel.


Interleave delay applies only to the interleave
channel and defines the mapping (relative spacing)
between subsequent input bytes at the interleaver
input and their placement in the bit stream at the
interleaver output. Larger numbers provide
greater separation between consecutive input bytes
in the output bit stream allowing for improved
impulse noise immunity, but at the expense of
payload latency.
Values:
0 0.5 ms
1 1 ms
2 2 ms
4 4 ms
8 8 ms
16 16 ms
32 32 ms
63 63 ms

interleaveMaxTxRate

Maximum transmit rate (in bps) for channels


configured for interleaved transmission mode.
For a CO interface, the range is 32Kbps to
8160Kbps (1536Kbps for G.Lite).

initFailureTrapEnable

Enables and disables the InitFailureTrap.This trap


controls whether line up or line down traps are
sent while the system is booting up.
Default: disable

Note: If the interface is configured for G.lite, change the


interleaveMaxTxRate parameter to a valid value for G.lite
(1536 Kbps or less).
The following example configures an ADSL downstream interface. Note
that you can accept most of the default values.

Configuring the ADSL 2 and ADSL 2+ interfaces


The following parameters are used to configure ADSL 2 and ADSL 2+
interfaces:
Parameter

Description

adslTransmissionMode

ADSL transmission mode. Supported values:

(adsl-profile)

Values:
autonegotiatemode : automatically
negotiates all supported transmission modes.
The modem uses the G.hs protocol to
negotiate a transmission mode in this order:
ADSL2+, ADSL2, then G.dmt.
fullratemode : automatically negotiates full
rate modes (G.dmt and T1 mode). G.dmt has
priority over T1 mode.
glitemode : G.lite. Supports only interleaved
mode.
t1mode : Full rate T1
gdmtmode : G.dmt
ghsmode :The modem uses the G.hs
protocol to negotiate a transmission mode in
this order: T1.413, G.dmt, then G.lite.
adsl2Mode the modem negotiates ADSL2
only
adsl2PlusMode the modem negotiates
ADSL2+ only

adslLineDMTConfMode
(adsl-profile)

Selects whether there is overlap of ADSL


Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) frequency bins.
Values:
echoCancel overlap of DMT frequency
bins. Only supported by g.dmt Annex A.
freqDivMux no overlap of DMT frequency
bins.
Default: freqDivMux

reachExtendedAdsl2
(adsl-co-profile)

Defines whether downstream reach extended


ADSL2 (READSL2) operation should be
enforced by the ATU-C. Only enable for
ADSL2 and ADSL2+
Values:
enable
disable
Default: enable

There is typically no need to change the settings in ADSL profiles to


configure ADSL 2 or ADSL 2+. But if your setup requires it, use the
update command:

Configuring POTS ports


Note: The MALC POTS-24 and ADSL+POTS-32A-2S cards do not
support pulse dialing or ground start signaling.
The following table summarizes how to configure a POTS interfaces on the
MALC:
Action

Command

Configure the POTS gain settings. See


Configuring POTS settings on page 257.

update analog-if-cfg-profile index/voicefxs


Where index is of the form shelf-slot-port-subport or a user-defined
string.
For typical applications, the settings in this profile do not need to be
modified.

Configure the POTS signaling. See


Configuring signal type and ring
frequency on page 260.

update analog-fxs-cfg-profile index/voicefxs

Activate the POTS interfaces in the


if-translate profiles. See Activating
POTS interfaces on page 261.

update if-translate index/voicefxs

For typical applications, the settings in this profile do not need to be


modified.

Configuring POTS settings


Modify the following parameters in the analog-if-cfg-profile if you need to
change the gain settings for each voice line:

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Parameter

Description

if-cfg-impedence

Specifies the terminating impedance of analog voice interfaces.


Values:
ohms600complex 600 Ohms + 2.16uF
ohms900complex 00 Ohms + 2.16uF
Default: ohms600complex

if-cfg-receive-tlp

The receive TLP is the signal level to the customer premises equipment (CPE). The
receive signal range is +3 dB to -9 dB. A positive number adds gain, a negative
number adds loss to the analog signal after decoding from PCM. For example, a
receive TLP setting of -6 dB will generate a voice signal at -6 dB level.
Values:
fxsrtlpn9db
fxsrtlpn8db
fxsrtlpn7db
fxsrtlpn6db
fxsrtlpn5db
fxsrtlpn4db

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring POTS ports

Parameter

Description

if-cfg-transmit-tlp

The transmit TLP is the signal level from the customer premises equipment (CPE).
The transmit signal range is +9 dB to -3 dB. A positive number adds loss, a negative
number adds gain to the analog signal before encoding to PCM. For example, a
transmit TLP setting of +3 dB will set a loss of 3 dB to generate a 0 dB PCM signal.
Values:
fxsTtlp9db (not supported on the POTS 900 card)
fxsTtlp8db (not supported on the POTS 900 card)
fxsTtlp7db

Default: fxsTtlp0db

if-cfg-pcm-encoding

Line encoding.
Values:
alaw for E1.
mulaw for T1.

if-cfg-receive-tlpNum

Receive Transmission Level Point (RTLP) settings control the amount gain or loss
added to the incoming signal after it is decoded to analog. To incrase the signal level
set the RTLP setting to higher values. The default is 0 dB.
Values:
-160 to 85 (in tenths of dB)
Default: 0 dB

if-cfg-transmit-tlpNum

Transmit Transmission Level Point (TTLP) controls the amount of gain or loss added
to a voice signal before it is encoded to digital PCM. To increase the signal level,
reduce the TTLP setting to lower value.
Values:
-175 to 70 (in tenths of dB)
Default: 0 dB

If you need to modify the gain settings, update the analog-if-cfg-profile


for each interface. For example;:
zSH> update analog-if-cfg-profile 1-3-1-0/voicefxs

Activating SHDSL cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.

Verifying the slot card installation


After you save the card-profile record, the slot card in that slot resets and the
begins downloading their software image from the flash card. This could take
a few moments.
When the card has finished loading, a log message similar to the following is
displayed (if logging is enabled):
zSH> Card in slot slot-number changed state to RUNNING

You can also use the slots command and specify the slot number of the
card to view the state of the card. For example:

interface on page 297

showlinestatus shelf slot port

Automatic baud rate adaption and fixed rate settings


When you select the sdsllatest line type for SDSL interface, or shdsllatest for
a SHDSL interface), the MALC can perform automatic baud rate adaption.
This allows receiving devices to communicate with transmitting devices
operating at different baud rates without the need to establish data rates in
advance. By determining the baud rate from the transmitting device, the
receiving MALC automatically trains to match the line rate of the incoming
data.
The automatic baud rate adaption process may take several minutes. This is
because the CO and CPE device modems use an algorithm to step through a
sequence of baud rates, where the devices establish a connection at each line
rate and then move to the next higher rate until they reach the final rate they
agree upon.
The following table describes how the fixed-bit-rate settings in the
sdsl-config and shdsl-config profiles affect training rates.

Configuration restrictions
The same card can support a combination of SDSL and SHDSL ports with the
following restrictions:

Configure the DSL modem in pairs (modems 1 and 2, modems 3 and 4,


and so on).

Adjacent modems (ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and so on) must have the same
line-type. Each DSL modem supports 2 DSL ports.

Adjacent modems must have the same framer-type (if configured for
SDSL).

Adjacent modems must have the same unit-mode setting.

Adjacent modems must have the same network timing recovery setting.

Other configuration settings, such as line speed, can differ for each line on the
card.

Specifying the type of DSL interface


Note: The IANA-ifType for SDSL interfaces is shdsl. The interface
name appears in profile indexes and system output.

ATM overhead, so that effective line rate is 8kbps less that the configured rate. Note
that some of these rates (indicated by line-rate-4w) are only supported on the 4-wire
SHDSL card.

SHDSL cards

Parameter

Description

shdsl-fix-bit-rate

Normally, if the CO side and CPE side select different line rates at startup, the lower of
the two rates will be selected. By using the fix bit rate the CO side can override the
default procedure and require startup at the rate specified in the
shdsl-config-line-rate.
Values:
fix-bit-disable This value enables automatic baud rate adaption, where the DSL
modem will train at the best achievable rate. If the CO and CPE devices have different
line rates at startup, the line will train up to the highest rate supported by both devices.
fix-bit-enable This value is used for static (set) baud rates. With this option, the line
will attempt to connect at the rate configured in the shdsl-config-line-rate.
Default: fix-bit-disable

shdsl-ntr

Determines the clocking on the SHDSL line.


Values:
ntr-local-osc The line uses the systems internal clock. Also known as local timing.
ntr-refck-8KHz The line uses an 8KHZ clock derived from a timing source such a
T1/E1 interface.
Default: ntr-local-osc

shdsl-clock-offset

This parameter is used to help achieve a low frequency wander and jitter between
network and DSL system clock. This value can only be set on devices configured as
CO in the dsl-config profile.
Values:
-100 to 100 (in parts per million)
Default: 0

shdsl-repeater-id

This value identifies if the STU is being used as a repeater.


Values:
noChangeRepeater
repeaterDisable
repeaterEnable
Default: repeaterDisable

shdsl-standard

Determines the SHDSL standard used.


Values:
annex-a G.991.2 Annex A. Typically used in the United States.
annex-b G.991.2 Annex B. Typically used outside the United States.
Default: annex-b

shdsl-startup-margin

Specifies the minimum desired target margin in dB for the local line conditions during
startup. Used to negotiate the bit rate during startup.
Values:
0 to 10
Default: 6

Parameter

Description

shdsl-wire-mode

This setting disables or enables 4-wire-framing.


Values:
four-wire-disable Four wire framing is disabled. Use this setting for the 2 wire
SHDSL card.
four-wire-enable-bit-interleave Sends one bit on channel 1, then one bit on channel
2, as described in the ITU-T G.991.2, section E.2.
four-wire-enable-byte-interleave sends one byte on channel 1, and then one byte on
channel 2, as described in ITU-T G.991.2, section E.7
four-wire-enable-non-interleave Sends 12 bytes on channel 1, 12 bytes on second
channel 2.
Default: four-wire-disable

shdsl-frame-sync

Not supported.

shdsl-decoder-coeffA

21 bit value corresponding to the decoder coefficient A or B, as defined in the G.991.2


standard. Note that the default value is bit-reversed, when compared against the
recommended polynomials in the G.991.2 standard. Thus when you enter the 21-bit
value, it should be written bit-reversed also.

shdsl-decoder-coeffB

Values:
0 to 2097151
Default: 366 (for shdsl-decoder-coeffA)
817 (for shdsl-decoder-coeffB)
shdsl-power-scale

Adjusts transmit power in small increments to compensate for minor differences in


power between units. The formula for the adjustment is:
adjustment (in dB) = 29952 * 10(shdsl-power-scale / 20)
The following values are recommended for different loop lengths.
Values:
17664 For loop lengths from 0 to 10 feet (0 to 3.05 meters). Corresponds to -3.39dB.
20992 For loop lengths less than 4000 feet (1219 meters). Corresponds to -1.9dB.
29952 For loop lengths greater than 4000 feet (1219 meters). Corresponds to

Delivering power and data to a Raptor 100 SHDSL-LP


This section describes how to connect the MALC SHDSL-LP card to a Zhone
Raptor 100 SHDSL-LP device. The MALC SHDSL-LP card delivers power
and data on the same wires. For distances of 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), two
pairs of wires delivering power are required.
The specifications for the cables delivering power are as follows:

2 wires per port

26 AWG (0.4 mm) or 24 AWG (0.5 mm)

The LP IN port on the MALC SHDSL-24-LP card provides 12 pairs of wires


to deliver power. The power is combined with the data and sent out over the
24 SHDSL ports to downstream Raptor 100 SHDSL-LP devices. One MALC
SHDSL-LP card can provide power and data for 6 Raptor 100 devices.
The wiring diagram below illustrates the wiring connections for power and
data being transmitted over the same pair of wires to a single MALC. To
power multiple MALC devices, uses the pinouts described in Table 72 on
page 305 to match SHDSL ports to the power pairs. Each set of four pins can
power a single Raptor 100.
For the SHDSL data connector pinouts, see SHDSL pinouts on page 303.

24-port POTS card (POTS-24 and POTS-900-24)

The 24-port POTS cards provide access to traditional 2-wire


analog voice circuits using tone dialing. They support loop
start and provides echo cancellation. The POTS cards
communicates with the Uplink card over the MALC TDM
and control bus. POTS voice traffic is converted from
G.711-encoded voice to ATM AAL2 and transmitted to the
voice network by the Uplink card. A standards-based voice
gateway, such as the MALC converts the voice traffic back
to TDM and forwards it to a class 5 switch.
The POTS-24 card supports 600 ohm impedance. The
POTS-900-24 card supports 900 ohm impendance.

48-port POTS card (POTS-TDM-48 and POTS-TDM/PKT-48)

There are two models of 48 port POTS cards:

POTS-TDM-48 supports traditional 2-wire analog voice


circuits using tone dialing. It communicates with the
Uplink card over the MALC TDM bus and the control
bus. POTS voice traffic is converted from G.711-encoded
voice to ATM AAL2 and transmitted to the voice network
by the Uplink card. A standards-based voice gateway,
such as the MALC converts the voice traffic back to TDM
and forwards it to a class 5 switch.

POTS-TDM/PKT-48 supports traditional TDM voice as


well as packetized voice for use in a VOIP network. This
card supports loop start and provides echo cancellation. It
communicates with the Uplink card over the MALC
packet bus and the control bus. POTS voice traffic is
packetized on the card and sent to a standards-based voice
gateway, such as the MALC voice gateway card. There the
voice traffic is converted back to TDM and forwarded it to
a class 5 switch.

Configuring POTS cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.
The slots cards on the MALC have the following types and software images:

Pinouts, page 327


Note: For information on the slot cards supported with the voice
gateway card, see Packet voice support on page 29.

Overview
The voice gateway card is a 2-slot card and is available
in 4, 8, 16, or 32 port configurations for flexible TDM
access off of Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), IP or ATM
networks. This card supports up to 32 T1/E1s for
concurrent voice calls (128 protected 1+1 T1/E1 ports).
For ATM voice networks, the voice gateway card
supports Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES)
to either GR-303 or V5.2 signals as well as Emulation
Loop Control Protocol (ELCP) to V5.2 signals on the
local exchange switch.
For IP access, the voice gateway card supports Session
Initiation Protocol Private Line Automatic Ringdown
(SIP-PLAR) to either GR-303 or V5.2 signals on the
local switch.
Both VOIP and VoATM voice connections can be run
exclusively or concurrently on the same MALC system
and voice gateway card.
A MALC system also supports simultaneous voice
gateway connections and subscriber line connections
that use the same uplink card. However, subscriber line

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Adding a voice gateway card


To add a voice gateway card to the MALC, physically install the voice
gateway card in the desired slot location. Voice gateway cards are double-slot
cards that can be inserted into any slot except the first slot. After the card is
installed, create a card profile.
This example adds the voice gateway card to slot 3 and specifies the binary
file malct1e132vg.bin (for T1 connections). For E1 connections, specify the
malct1e132vgv52.bin file.

Voice Gateway Card (VG-T1/E1-32-2S)

Adding a redundant voice gateway card


The voice gateway card supports card-level redundancy. Configuring
redundant voice gateway cards requires 2 separate voice gateway cards and
intercard cabling to connect the cards.
Caution: Both cards in a redundant pair must be running the same
software version.
Although it may be helpful to place the redundant voice gateway cards close
to each other, redundant voice gateway cards do not need to be in contiguous
slot locations. Figure 58 shows redundant voice gateway cards with intercard
cabling installed.

Configuring redundant voice gateway cards


Caution: You must configure redundant physical interfaces on both
the active and standby cards. This applies to all redundant cards. In
addition, you must manually keep the configuration of the physical
interfaces on the active and standby cards in sync.
Note: When configuring the redundant voice gateway card, the
settings in the card-profile for the both cards must be identical.
To add a redundant card to the system:
1

Verify that active card has been configured with the same card-group-id
that is to be used for the standby card.

Install a second voice gateway card in an adjacent slot.

Create a card-profile for the second card:

VDSL CARD (VDSL-16)


This chapter describes the MALC VDSL card and explains how to configure
it. It includes:

Overview, page 339

Configuring VDSL interfaces, page 342

VDSL-16 and VDSL-16+Splitter pinouts, page 343

Overview
Very high bit rate DSL (VDSL) transmits high speed data
over short reaches of twisted-pair copper wire. The shorter
the distance, the faster the connection rate.
The VDSL-16 is a single-slot 16-port VDSL subscriber line
card, which provides increased bandwidth (up to 52 Mbps
downstream and 4.223 Mbps upstream over short distances)
to accommodate video applications. All ATM traffic from
the 16 subscriber lines is cross connected to VCLs on the
MALC uplink card. Loop access for metallic test functions
is provided.
The VDSL-16 card can be used with the Zhone Residential
Gateway (ZRG) to provide video, voice, and data
applications. The VDSL card connects to neighborhood
Optical Network Units (ONUs), which connect to the
central offices main fiber network backbone. This
architecture allows VDSL users to access the maximum
bandwidth available over twisted-pair, copper phone lines.

Creating card-profiles for VDSL-16 cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.
VDSL-16 cards on the MALC have the following types and software images:

Verifying the slot card installation


After you save the card-profile record, the slot card in that slot resets and the
begins downloading their software image from the flash card. This could take
a few moments.
When the card has finished loading, a log message similar to the following is
displayed (if logging is enabled):
zSH> Card in slot slot-number changed state to RUNNING

You can also use the slots command and specify the slot number of the
card to view the state of the card. For example:

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring IMA groups

Overview
The following MALC cards support IMA groups:

T1/E1 IMA Uplink

T1/E1-ATM-32

Each card supports 16 IMA groups. The MALC T1/E1-ATM-32 card


provides 32 T1/E1 UNI or IMA ports. All ports must be configured as either
UNI or IMA. When these cards boot up, the system creates the IMA groups
and assigns the T1/E1 links to the following groups:
Links

Note: (T1/E1 32 card only) IMA links 1-16 can only belong to IMA
groups 1-8 and links 17-32 can only belong to IMA groups 9-16.
Note the following about multiple IMA groups:

In a redundant Uplink configuration, you must configure IMA groups on


both the active and standby cards

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

357

T1/E1 ATM 32 card (T1/E1-ATM-32)

Before moving IMA links to another group, the system performs a CAC
calculation to determine whether moving the links will violate ATM QoS
settings. If so, the link will not be moved.

If you do not want a link to belong to any IMA group, it is recommended


that you admin down the interface in the if-translate profile. Do not use
the imalink remove command unless requested to by Zhone GSS.

Configuring IMA groups


The following example updates an IMA group to change the minimum
number of links in the group:
zSH> update ima-group-profile 1/1/1 shelf/slot/port
Please provide the following: [q]uit.

Moving IMA links


To move IMA links from one group to another, use the imalink move
command. For example:
zSH> imalink move 1-1-1-0/atmima 1-1-2-0/atmima 1-1-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

This command moves the DS1 interface 1-1-1-0/ds1 from IMA group
1-1-1-0/atm to IMA group 1-1-2-0/atmima.
If this is a redundant configuration, also move the IMA link on the
standby card:
zSH> imalink move 1-2-1-0/atmima 1-2-2-0/atmima 1-2-1-0/ds1
Stack unbind successful.
Link moved successfully.

T1/E1 CES 12-PORT CARD


This chapter describes the MALC T1/E1 12 CES card. It includes:

Overview, page 365

CES card configuration, page 366

Pinouts, page 368

Overview
Circuit Emulation Service (CES) allows T1/E1 circuits to be
transparently extended across an ATM network or IP routed
network. CES across an ATM network is based on the ATM
Forum standard AF VTOA 0078.0000. Using constant bit
rate (CBR) ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), CES
allows communication between T1/E1 interfaces (such as
T1, E1, E3, and T3). CES over an IP network transports T1/
E1 circuit data over an static IP routed network between
Zhone equipment endpoints and delivers the data to the
destination T1/E1 circuit.
There two types of CES: structured and unstructured. In
unstructured emulation (also known as clear channel
emulation) the entire services bandwidth is emulated and
reproduced at the target port. Structured emulation service
(also called channelized emulation) emulates a point-to-point
fractional T1/E1 (less than a full T1/E1 line). The frame
structure is maintained. Individual streams are visible and are
byte aligned. This allows the T1/E1 trunks using the
structured emulation service to break into multiple DS0
channels towards different destinations.

Universal Line Card (ULC-ISDN-12)

Overview
The Universal Line Card (ULC) provides line termination
for integrated services digital network basic rate interface
(ISDN BRI) over ATM and V5.2 networks. It provides a
U-interface over standard 2-wire local loops. It supports 12
U-interface circuits. Each port carries two B channels and
one D channel.
The ULC card supports ISDN-to-AAL2 and ISDN-to-V5.2
connections. The ULC card must be used with the
appropriate Uplink card for each application.
For ISDN-to-AAL2 configurations, use the ULC card with
an ATM-compatible Uplink card.
For ISDN-to-V5.2 configurations, use the ULC card with
the TDM/ATM Uplink card or the Voice Gateway card.
A ULC with POTS card is also supported. Contact your
Zhone Technologies sales representative for information.

Creating card-profiles for ULC cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.
ULC-ISDN-12 cards on the MALC have the following types and software
images:

Verifying the slot card installation


After you save the card-profile record, the slot card in that slot resets and the
begins downloading their software image from the flash card. This could take
a few moments.
When the card has finished loading, a log message similar to the following is
displayed (if logging is enabled):
zSH> Card in slot slot-number changed state to RUNNING

You can also use the slots command and specify the slot number of the
card to view the state of the card. For example:

Creating card-profiles for PON OLT cards


Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.
The slots cards on the MALC have the following types and software images:

Verifying the slot card installation


After you save the card-profile record, the slot card in that slot resets and the
begins downloading their software image from the flash card. This could take
a few moments.
When the card has finished loading, a log message similar to the following is
displayed (if logging is enabled):
zSH> Card in slot slot-number changed state to RUNNING

You can also use the slots command and specify the slot number of the

Metallic Test Access card (MTAC/RING, MTAC/Ring-2Mhz-Clk and MTAC-FC)

Overview
The MTAC/RING cards (MTAC/RING, MTAC/
Ring-2Mhz-Clk and MTAC-FC) provide metallic test access
for external test systems to verify the local loop conditions,
such as whether the loop will allow a particular service (for
example, POTS or DSL) to operate, or whether the line circuit
connected to the loop is operational.
The MTAC/RING cards also provide:

Ringing generation.
Access for an external ringing generator.
T1 or E1 external network clock source.
2.048Mhz clock reference (MTAC/Ring-2Mhz-Clk card
only).

Test equipment access to any line.


Line testing:
Look-out testing (toward the loop) for DSL and POTS
interfaces.
Note that the type of tests provided will vary, depending on the
type of card being tested.

External alarm relay closures (2, form-C)

External alarm inputs (12, wet or dry, normally open or normally closed)

Fan control and monitoring (MTAC-FC only)


Note: The MALC supports only one active MTAC/Ring card at a
time and a total of two cards in the system.
Note: The MTAC-FC card is only supported in the MALC 319. This
card must be installed in slot 10.

Figure 62: MTAC-FC card (MALC 319 only)

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Overview

Ringing generator
The metallic test access card contains the ringing generator for POTS cards
installed in the MALC. Ringing voltage is supplied to all installed POTS
cards via a backplane bus. Note that only one MTAC/RING card can supply
ringing voltage to the system at a time.
The metallic test access card also contains a ringing voltage detector that
senses the absence of ringing voltage on the card itself or on an external
ringing generator (if one exists). If the ringing voltage detector detects a
problem, another MTAC/Ring card can supply the ringing voltage, or the
MALC can be configured to use another external ringing generator.

External test access


The MTAC/RING cards provide access to external test equipment through an
RJ45 connector for look-in, look-out, and bridging test access.
The test relays can be controlled by the command line interface (CLI) and
Zhone Management System (ZMS). Test relays on the POTS or DSL card can
connect any POTS pair to an RJ45 test access port on the metallic test access
card using the back plane to allow test access to any POTS or DSL line.

Creating card-profiles for MTAC/Ring cards


Caution: Each MTAC/Ring card in a redundant pair must be
configured identically; the cards do not share state or configuration
information. In addition, you must manually keep the configuration
of the active and standby cards in sync.
Each card installed in the system must have a card-profile. Each type of slot
card requires different settings in the card-profile.
Tip: You can specify the name of the software image for a card in a
card-profile or a type-module. Each card of a particular type can
share a single type-module.
Settings in type-modules can be overridden by settings in
card-profiles.
MTAC cards have the following types and software images:

Testing a line
The MALC creates mtac-profiles for each card installed in the system for
manually changing test modes. The MALC also enables connecting a
third-party device to the MALC MTAC card to set test relays. After
connecting the testing device, use the mtac-linetest command to set the relay
options. The default baud rate is 9600 bps. (This can be changed by
modifying the rs232-profile.)

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Metallic Test Access card (MTAC/RING, MTAC/Ring-2Mhz-Clk and MTAC-FC)

The following command example sets and releases the relay:


zSH> mtac-linetest 1/8/48 lookout
Successful - In TestMode
zSH> mtac-linetest 1/8/48 release
Successful - Return to operational state

The following table describes the supported parameters in the mtac-profile.


Parameter

Description

ifIndex

Specifies the ifindex of the physical line to be tested. If


no line is being tested, this value is 0.
Values:
A physical interface on the system. In the format
shelf/slot/port/subport/type
Default: 0
This parameter cannot be modified while a test is in
progress.
The ability of a physical line to support a metallic test
may vary depending on the cards installed and the
external test equipment.

test_mode

Specifies metallic test mode for a given line. The test


mode can be changed only if the ifIndex parameter is
set to a nonzero value.
Values:
mtacModeBridge The subscriber line is metallically
connected to the MTAC test access port while the
subscriber is in service. To avoid service interruption,
the test head must be in high impedance (bridge) mode.
mtacModeLookIn The subscriber line is
disconnected and the service port is metallically routed
to the MTAC test access port. This allows the testing of
MALC service port using a external test head or where
the test head represents the subscriber terminal.
mtacModeLookOut The MALC service port is
disconnected and the subscriber line is metallically
routed to the MTAC test access port. This allows the
testing of line with or without a subscriber terminal.
mtacModeNone No MTAC test is in progress.
Default: mtacModeNone

The following example enables an external test device to access to the ADSL

Connecting external alarms


The MTAC/Ring card has a 26 pin connector that provides alarm relay
contacts for up to 12 external devices. When an alarm condition occurs on the
external device, the MALC sends a trap. Each pair of pins can be assigned to a
different alarm. Use the num2str-profile to assign a description to an alarm
relay. The description is included in traps and log messages.
The num2str-profile uses an index in the form:
shelf/slot/282/alarm-contact

The following example adds a description to the first alarm contact of an


MTAC/Ring card in shelf 12:
zSH> update num2str-profile 1/12/282/1

MALC Hardware Installation Guide

Connecting an external ring source

Caution: When connecting the external ring source, observe the


following:
If the external ring generator is non-isolated, connect the top pin to
the ringing voltage using a minimum 22 AWG wire, and leave the
bottom pin unconnected. See Figure 64 on page 397.
If the external ring generator is isolated, connect the top pin to the
ringing voltage using a minimum 22 AWG wire and the bottom pin to
-48V on the ring source. See Figure 65 on page 397.

External alarm pinouts


The MTAC/Ring and the MTAC/Ring-FC cards provide a 26-pin connector
for access to external alarms.
The MTAC/Ring card has 16-volt inputs that require external current-limiting
resistors (4700 ohm, 0.5 watt) for 48-volt operation. The MTAC-FC accepts
48-volt inputs directly. All alarm inputs are metallically isolated using
optocouplers.
