Hotwire 8820 GranDSLAM Cards
The GranDSLAM chassis accepts the following types of cards:
MCP card
Administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to the DSL cards. The MCP
acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction with an SNMP network
management system, such as OpenLane
®
, via its LAN port or inband
management channel. It gathers operational status for each of the DSL cards
and responds to the SNMP requests. The card also has a serial port for local
terminal access.
SCM card
Provides aggregation of DSL traffic on the ATM bus for the shelf.
MVL
®
, ReachDSL
™
/MVL, RADSL, IDSL, SDSL, and other DSL cards
Provide a processor and an Ethernet or ATM interface to the NSP. The
processor controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the
Ethernet, ATM and DSL interfaces. Models include:
— 8310 4-port, 8312 12-port Multiple Virtual Lines (MVL) cards that
interoperate with the Hotwire 6310 MVL modem.
— 8312 12-port ReachDSL/MVL cards that interoperate with the Hotwire
6310 MVL and 6350 ReachDSL modems.
— 8510 4-port and 8373 12-port Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line
(RADSL) card that interoperates with the 5620 Remote Termination Unit
(RTU) or the 6371 RADSL Router.
— 8303 24-port Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Digital
Subscriber Line (IDSL) card that interoperates with the 6301 and
6302 IDSL Routers.
— 8343 24-port Packet Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (Packet SDSL)
CAP (Carrierless Amplitude and Phase Modulation) card that
interoperates with the 6341 and 6342 SDSL Routers.
— 8314 12-port MVL card with ATM uplink that interoperates with the Hotwire
6310 MVL modem.
— 8314 12-port ReachDSL/MVL cards that interoperate with the Hotwire
6310 and 6350 MVL modem.
— 8304 24-port Packet IDSL 2B1Q card with ATM uplink that interoperates
with the 6301 and 6302 IDSL Routers.
— 8344 24-port Packet SDSL CAP card with ATM uplink that interoperates
with the 6341 and 6342 SDSL Routers.
