Software Releases R24, R25.1 and R25.2
Te c h n i c a l S p e c i f i c a t i o n s
Overview
To be successful, operators must respond
to market pressures and keep ahead of
the competition. This is possible by offering
new services, protecting the current profitable
revenue streams, avoiding subscriber churn
with user-friendly services, and reducing
operational costs. Experience also shows
that service offerings are more quickly
adopted when they are promoted within
well defined packages.
Today, the Alcatel 1000 MM E10
Next Generation Switch comes complete
with an extensive range of services covering
a wide array of operator’s and end user’s
needs. In particular recent enhancements
to the software releases allow the creation
of compelling service packages that will
bring more benefits to the end user and
sustained revenues for operators.
Release R24 Key Features

Release R25.1 Key Features
Available now, this release provides huge CAPEX and OPEX savings. By directly integrating SDH STM-1 interfaces,
the Alcatel 1000 MM E10 takes up less space while connecting directly to an SDH network. As a result the same
traffic levels can be handled on a platform with a smaller footprint. For example, when a single SDH board terminates
one STM-1 link (the equivalent of 63 E1 links), one SDH-STM-1 high-density unit replaces eight E1 boards.

Alcatel 1000 MM E10
Subscriber Access Unit (CSN)
Extend the Reach of Switches and
Deliver More Services to More Subscribers

Te c h n i c a l S p e c i f i c a t i o n s

The Subscriber Access Unit (CSN) of the
Alcatel 1000 MM E10 has been designed for
a multiservice and multimedia environment.
It is based on a two-tier, concentrating,
multisite, multifunction access node
architecture that has been widely adopted
by the telecommunications industry.
The CSN efficiently extends the reach of a
switch to rural or high-density networks –
and everywhere in between. Each CSN can
connect up to 5,120 users, and can be
located anywhere in the network, either
collocated with the core switch or installed
in proximity to remote groups of users.
The concentrator units (CNE) associated with
a CSN offer considerable flexibility since they
too can be collocated with the CSN or
installed to serve remote users in groups
of 64, 256 or 512.
Offer Equal Access to POTS, ISDN
and ADSL Services
The CSN offers all connected users, whatever
their location, equal access to POTS, ISDN
and ADSL services. The two-tier architecture
ensures that these subscribers are connected
at the lowest possible cost. The CSN allows
mixing and matching of all existing subscriber
boards (POTS, ISDN BRA and ISDN PRA), as
well as the ADSL subscriber board in any of
its universal slots.
Fast Rollout of
Broadband Services
The integration of ADSL within the CSN offers
outstanding advantages:
▼ CAPEX optimization — minimum investment
for low density ADSL areas
▼ OPEX reduction — savings in spare parts,
integrated Operation and Maintenance
▼ Rollout flexibility — rollout on demand,
fast deployment
▼ Cost-effectiveness — plug-to-plug compatible
ADSL/POTS/ISDN boards
▼ Easy installation — minimum impact on
main distribution frames
▼ State-of-the-art broadband functionality
— full compatibility with the Alcatel ADSL
portfolio

capacity for packet service to maintain an
“always on” connection between an ISDN
end user and an Internet service provider CSN Rack
(ISP). Time sensitive, low bandwidth demand
services such as sending and receiving
e-mails, news feeds, automated data
collection, or credit card verification can
use this constant virtual connection at
speeds of about 9.6 kb/s.

When extra bandwidth is needed AODI

allows for the manual or automatic addition
of one or two circuit-switched B-channels
of 64 kb/s each (for a total of 128 kb/s).
The D-channel is not used for data when the
B-channels are opened, but it remains active
for signaling. When the additional bandwidth
is no longer required, or if a call is coming
in, one or both B-channels are dropped,
leaving the D-channel connection in place.

Internet Access: A Solution for Ever y Need

• A “must”
ADSL • Premium service for data offload
• Available at all access levels

• Always on
AODI • Bandwidth on demand
• Flexible fees

• 30% traffic growth • 85% of today’s Internet access

▼ Basic rate access ISDN subscriber line card
(echo cancellation, 2B1Q encoding) —
contains 8-line equipment, controlled by

▼ Primary rate access ISDN subscriber line
card (30B+D) — used to connect the CSN
to multiservice ISDN exchanges.
Other types of digital subscriber line cards
▼ V5.1 access card — used to connect an
access network with a V5.1 interface. Each
V5.1 nonconcentrating interface is made of
one 2 Mb/s PCM.
▼ 64 kb/s data link card — used to
connect up to 4 leased lines and supports
64 kb/s codirectional data links (ITU-T
Recommendation G.703).
▼ Packet unit card — allows ISDN subscribers
to use their access D channel for receiving or
sending low rate data using a frame structure.
▼ Any one of these types of cards can
be plugged into any line card location
in the digital concentrator.
ADSL subscriber line card
The ADSL line card supports 4-line equipment
and a common control logic. Each port
includes its own splitter and handles both
analogue POTS and broadband data traffic.
Depending on the length and the quality
of the line, the broadband data bit-rates
supported are up to 640 kb/s from ADSL
network termination (ANT) to CSN, and up
to 8 Mb/s from CSN to ANT. The ADSL line
card separates voice traffic from broadband
data traffic before transmission of each flow
on the appropriate bus in the CSN or CNE
back panels.
All the ADSL subscribers are connected to an
internal 155 Mb/s bus running in the back
panel and terminating in an extender board.
A 155 Mb/s “daisy chain” enables
multiplexing of ADSL lines. A transport
interface board terminates the daisy chain
and accesses the external transport network.
Two types of transport are implemented:
▼ An STM-1 optical link (155 Mb/s)
▼ 1 to n IMA PCM links (ATM on 2 Mb/s)
This allows the broadband data flow to be
aggregated on the same link towards the
ATM backbone.
