1-3

The MA5616 is flexible in configuration (hybrid configuration of voice and xDSL) and

expandable in capacity, thus improving the actual installation ratio and decreasing the number

of device types and board types.

1.2.3 Plug-and-Play Service Provisioning

The configuration data of the MA5616 can be delivered remotely. Hence, the management

channel and the service channel are set up immediately after the MA5616 is powered on and

registers successfully, and the manual configuration on site is not required. That is, the

MA5616 supports plug-and-play service provisioning.

The MA5616 supports plug-and-play service provisioning:

� The hardware installation engineers only finish the installation and power on the device,

and this has little requirements for operation skills.

� The MDU (referring to the MA5616 in this document) automatically obtains the related

configuration from the NMS and the configuration automatically takes effect.

� After the service configuration of the MDU is finished, no field dialing test is required.

The built-in test module of the MDU performs the self-test of the device and reports the

result to the NMS.

The following provides a detailed description:

� The NMS issues the inband management channel parameters (management IP address,

management VLAN, SNMP parameters, and host route) to the OLT through

pre-provisioning.

� After the MDU gets online, the OLT issues the management channel parameters to the

MDU to get through the inband management channel.

� The NMS issues the service data to the MDU through the inband management channel to

implement the plug-and-play of the MDU.

� The installation engineers can easily check the running status of the device: through the

two LEDs (LINK and AUTH) of the upstream PON port on the MDU. If the LINK LED

is on, it indicates that the upstream optical path is through; if the AUTH LED is blinking,

it indicates that the MDU is registering; if the AUTH LED is always on, it indicates that

the MDU registers successfully.

� The OLT and the NMS support auto-discovery of the MDU, facilitating reporting the

MAC address.

� The OLT and the MDU support MAC authentication and KEY authentication, meeting

the deployment requirements for different scenarios.

� For the mass MDU upgrade, the NMS sends only one required software package to the

OLT. Then the OLT duplicates the contents to be loaded. The OLT distributes the

duplicated software package to each MDU, improving the upgrade efficiency and

reducing the network load.

� The OLT loads the software package from the server to the MDU through the inband

management channel and the MDU supports rollback.

� The programs and data of the MDU are backed up locally. In the case of power failure

during the upgrade, the MDU can automatically start from the standby storage area if the

active storage area is damaged.

� The NMS backs up the MDU data at the specified time or in real time. After the MDU is

replaced, the OLT reports a trap to the NMS. The NMS checks whether the MDU is a

new device according to the MAC address in the trap. If the MDU is a new one, the

NMS delivers the backup configuration data to the new MDU.

1.2.5 Energy Saving and Noise Reduction

The MA5616 implements the energy saving and noise reduction by saving the electricity

consumption, reducing the system power consumption, and controlling the fan.

� In case of power failure, shut down the broadband subscribers to guarantee the

communication of narrowband subscribers, thus saving the backup power.

� Simplify the design and cooperate with the most efficient power system (the AC

conversion efficiency reaches up to 89%). This ensures the low power consumption of

the entire system. In case of large amount of data transmission, this meets the European

COC requirements (power consumption of the entire system) and the

environment-friendly energy-saving requirements.

� The POTS supports the short loop (adaptive). When the loop length is less than 1 km,

use the low-voltage feed (-24 V) to decrease the system power consumption (system

power consumption: 0.6 W per POTS line).

� Fan control. The intelligent speed adjustment of the fan is supported. The system can

automatically adjust the fan rotating speed according to the working temperature, which

brings positive effect to the reliable energy saving and noise reduction (noise index and

UCD experience).

1.2.6 Carrier-Class Reliability Design

The system reliability is taken into consideration in the system, hardware, and software

designs to ensure reliable running of the MA5616.

used, the MDU can be configured with up to two MGCs. When the MGC is switched

over or the MDU detects the fault of the primary uplink, the system automatically

switches to the other MGC.

� Emergency standalone is supported. When the MDU upstream port is interrupted, the

system automatically starts the emergency standalone function. Then, the subscribers of

the same MDU can call and communicate with each other.

� Virtual noise is supported. The system uses the virtual noise mechanism to decrease the

line rate (the system adjusts the line rate according to the SNR), which improves the

anti-interference capability of the system.

Network Description

As an MDU, the MA5616 provides GPON upstream ports. With the features of wide coverage,

flexible networking and low maintenance cost of a GPON network, the MA5616 works with

the OLT to provide high-bandwidth access, and meanwhile expand the access capacity of the

OLT.

4.2 Service Network Applications

MA5616 supports QinQ, VLAN Stacking and Triple play network applications.

4.2.1 QinQ Network Application

The MA5616 supports the QinQ network application. This application saves the public

VLAN ID resources and implements the transparent transmission of private VLANs to the

public network.

4.2.2 VLAN Stacking Network Application

The MA5616 supports VLAN stacking to realize the VLAN extended service and multi-ISP

wholesale service.

4.2.3 Triple Play Network Application





4-3

The MA5616 has the powerful service processing capability. It can provide voice, data, and

video services to subscribers simultaneously with guaranteed QoS. Such an application is

called triple play.

4.2.1 QinQ Network Application

The MA5616 supports the QinQ network application. This application saves the public

VLAN ID resources and implements the transparent transmission of private VLANs to the

public network.

Service Description

In the QinQ network application, public VLAN IDs are allocated to the subscriber packets

that carry VLAN tags. Then, the packets can be transmitted in the backbone network using the

public VLAN IDs. This networking greatly saves the public VLAN ID resources and

facilitates the P2P interconnection between private line subscribers across the MAN.

Network Description

In the QinQ application, the subscriber packets transmitted in the backbone network have two

layers of VLAN tags, namely a public VLAN tag and a private VLAN tag.

� On the subscriber side



Product Description



Issue 01 (2008-11-30)

The subscribers of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are connected to the MA5616. The MA5616

allocates a public VLAN ID (VLAN 3 with the QinQ attribute) to the packets, and

forwards the packets to the upper layer network.

� On the network side

The packets are transmitted in the backbone network based on the public VLAN ID.

After the packets reach the MA5616 on the other side of the backbone network, the

MA5616 removes the public VLAN tag from the packets, and transmits the packets to

the subscriber side equipment.

In the QinQ application, a simple two-layer virtual private network (VPN) channel is

provided for subscribers to realize the transparent transmission of private VLANs and

services to the peer end and to expand the private network geographically to some extent.

4.2.2 VLAN Stacking Network Application

The MA5616 supports VLAN stacking to realize the VLAN extended service and multi-ISP

wholesale service.

Service Description

VLAN extension: This is used to increase the number of VLANs and identify subscribers.

Multi-ISP wholesale service: When the upper layer device works in the L2 mode, the packets

are forwarded based on the VLAN ID and the MAC address.

VLAN stacking is similar to QinQ in implementation, but the subscriber packet of VLAN

stacking is encapsulated with two VLAN tags and the subscriber packet of QinQ is

encapsulated with one VLAN tag.

BRAS: Broadband Remote Access Server ISP: Internet Service Provider

Network Description

In the VLAN stacking application, the BRAS must authenticate both layers of VLAN tags.

When a subscriber packet reaches the MA5616, it is encapsulated with two VLAN tags (outer

VLAN tag and inner VLAN tag), and is then transmitted to the associated ISP based on the

outer VLAN tag. The subscriber is identified by the inner VLAN tag.

The VLAN stacking application ensures that the VLANs can be reused, and realizes the

multi-IPS wholesale service.

4.2.3 Triple Play Network Application

The MA5616 has the powerful service processing capability. It can provide voice, data, and

video services to subscribers simultaneously with guaranteed QoS. Such an application is

called triple play.

Service Description

Triple play is a service provisioning mode in which integrated services can be provided to a

subscriber. Currently, the prevailing triple play application is the high-speed solution

integrating Internet access service, voice over IP (VoIP) service, and IPTV service.

The traditional broadband access refers to only the high-speed Internet access service. As the

Internet is rapidly developing, more services such as the IPTV service are provided.

The early voice signals are transmitted over the narrowband public switched telephone

network (PSTN). Because the PSTN is no longer developed, the services over the PSTN are

various programs.

− The IGMP proxy control packets are transmitted to the upstream multicast server by

the MA5616, thus realizing management on the multicast subscribers and programs.

− The video service traffic is transmitted to the MA5616 by the multicast server and the

MA5616 forwards the traffic transparently to the multicast subscribers.

− At the subscriber end, the video signals are terminated and the media is converted on

the set top box (STB). In addition, the STB controls the switch of programs.

Topology Management

The N2000 BMS can display the NEs in the entire network in a topology view. Through a

unified management platform, it can monitor and manage all NEs in the network. This

facilitates network maintenance.

Performance Management

The N2000 BMS helps you to monitor system performance and collect traffic statistics of all

NEs or a specified NE in the network so that the network resources can be utilized optimally.

Fault Management � The N2000 BMS provides a solution to overall network alarm management, which

enables you to locate and troubleshoot faults quickly.

� In addition, to simplify the troubleshooting, the N2000 BMS supports interface

switching. For example, it allows switching from the topology view to the alarm view, or

switching from the alarm view to the faulty port.

Security Management

The N2000 BMS manages the network based on different user rights and user domains. It can

divide user rights based on users, user groups, operations, applications, or ACLs. The N2000

BMS supports the automatic lock and forced disconnection of the client, and the user

operation log function.

Batch Service Provisioning

The N2000 BMS supports batch service processing to improve the efficiency in deploying the

service and responding to user requirements.

Backup and Uploading of NE Data

The N2000 BMS provides manual or timed backup for loading of data of all NEs or a

specified NE in the network. This greatly enhances the security of the NE data in the network

and saves effort in large-scale upgrade of software in the network.

Database Management � The N2000 BMS provides a tool for backing up and recovering the NMS database

manually or periodically. This enhances the security of the system data.

� The N2000 BMS also provides a remote monitoring terminal to monitor the running

status of the NMS server and the usage of the NMS database.

� In addition, the N2000 BMS supports the remote dual system backup scheme to ensure

the database security.

Rich Management Interfaces � The N2000 BMS provides various southbound network interfaces, such as Telnet,

SYSLOG, MML, and SNMP interfaces for different managed objects to implement rich

element management functions.

� In addition, the N2000 BMS provides standardized northbound interfaces such as SNMP

and TL1 interfaces to support automated alarm, topology, and data restoration functions

to the OSS and the network management system. This helps the carriers to set up an

overall support platform for the network monitoring and automatic service provisioning.

Environment and Power Supply Monitoring

The N2000 BMS monitors environment and power supply of the NEs in a centralized manner.

This feature helps you to obtain information about the environment and the power supply in

time.

Graphical User Interface

The N2000 BMS provides user-friendly graphical user interfaces, including the following:

� Network topology view

� Panel view

� Terminal management view

In addition, the N2000 BMS provides a complete and easy-to-use online help system to assist

you in the operation.

5.3.4 Typical Networking

The operator can manage the MA5616 on the N2000 BMS through the service channel

provided by the MA5616.

Networking Modes

In this mode, the N2000 BMS communicates with the MA5616 through the service channel.

The networking is flexible and additional devices are not required. This reduces the cost.
