Why the 7302/7330 ISAM?
> So we started off saying that customers do have the need for speed, i.e. faster lines, bigger
capacities on their lines. This impacts the operators a lot, and the slide above indicates four
main areas operators focus on.
> For the single topic mentioned here, some slides explain them on following pages.
> Multi-DSL: ADSL and the new ADSL2 flavors: ADSL2, ADSL2+ & READSL2
> SHDSL: single pair high speed DSL
> VDSL: Very High Speed DSL
> FTTU: fiber to the User
> STB: Set top Box, attached to your TV set

> The traditional DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM) (being an ATM DSLAM or an IP DSLAM) is
built and tailored for supporting one single service: the high speed internet access service
(HSIA), which is a best effort service.
> Given the increased penetration of multiple services over the broadband infrastructure, these
nodes are evolving towards multi-service access nodes, focusing on guaranteeing the
delivery of multiple services towards all users, and this for business as well as residential
subscribers.
> The major challenge to be solved is the capability to deliver the complete service kiosk to
every subscriber, with different customer profiles (for both business and residential
subscribers), with different QoS and service level agreement (SLA) constraints.

> Each service demands its own specific network requirements. Consequently migrating to a
range of new services beyond high-speed internet access requires that not only the access
node, but also the transport, management and service architectures evolve accordingly.
> The existing access network needs to evolve from the current best effort service to an
architecture that supports multimedia services.

5- IP intelligence
> The access nodes in the central office (CO) are now intelligent multi-service hubs, providing
Gigabit aggregation for subtended remote units or management system and access point to
all devices.
> Bringing the service delivery point closer to the subscriber is essential for the success of multiservices deployment, providing improved QoS, scalability and reliability. This enhanced
architecture provides an increased level of service knowledge in the CO by distributing the
intelligence from the central BRAS towards the access nodes.
> The next generation multi-service access nodes need to ensure that the variety of service
types are properly prioritized, processed and that services are classified onto dedicated virtual
local area networks (VLANs) or permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) extending into the second
mile of the access network. The increased need for bandwidth for video services has lead to
strong innovations inside the access nodes. Dedicated video resources, native layer 2
multicast and IGMP proxy lead the way to multi-service.
> In addition, advances such as network processors, non-blocking architectures, subscriber
management relay or termination, increased Gigabit connectivity and advanced security
features (tracking users to a port to prevent fraudulent activity and denial of service attacks)
are critical features in the network evolution process.

> The 7302 ISAM is particularly interesting for those operators who are planning a fast evolution
towards multiple services over the broadband infrastructure. These are typically service
providers looking to implement a triple play package of internet, video and voice over copper
as well as business internet and corporate access services for SMEs.
> The Alcatel 7302 ISAM is tailored for Ethernet aggregation.
Typically the ISAM does not offer any ATM network connectivity. There is however a solution
to connect to an ATM network, but that is not covered in this presentation.
> The 7302 ISAM is initially targeted for operators with Ethernet aggregation networks
deploying new DSLAMs in the COs. This market is distinct from that of the Alcatel 7300
ASAM and the 7301 ASAM, which offer a migration path towards Ethernet aggregation with
the existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet uplink products while keeping the legacy
connectivity to the existing ATM network. As a final migration step, the 7300 and 7301 ASAM
upgraded with Ethernet uplinks can be subtended to the 7302 ISAM to operate in a 100
percent Ethernet aggregation environment, with guaranteed services towards all the
subscribers.

> Before describing the 7302 ISAM platform, let us first position it in the world of DSLAMs.
> Traditionally, a DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer) had an ATM core aggregating traffic from all
ATM based xDSL access lines. Given that most edge networks were - and mostly currently
still are based on ATM switching and/or SDH transport, it is quite natural to keep ATM as
underlying layer 2 technology and provide interworking to IP deeper in the network (e.g. at the
BAS).
> The need for a DSLAM with Ethernet and/or IP capabilities is widely recognized. The specific
term IP DSLAM can however be interpreted in different ways, for in the most generic sense
IP DSLAM means a DSLAM with IP/Eth functions that interfaces with an Ethernet
aggregation network.

> On the slide you see 3 possible interpretations of an IP DSLAM, and at the same time this
slide positions the 7300/7301 ASAM versus the 7302 ISAM.
> Option A represents in fact an ATM DSLAM with ATM/Ethernet interworking function at the
trunk interface. That means that the end-user traffic (e.g. IP/Eth or IP/PPP/Eth) remains
encapsulated in ATM until the point where the traffic is aggregated and sent into the edge
network i.e. the internal architecture of the DSLAM in this case is still based on ATM.
> Option B shows a DSLAM where the ATM/Ethernet interworking function is no longer at the
trunk interface, yet at the termination side of the xDSL lines. That means that the end-user
traffic (e.g. IP/Eth or IP/PPP/Eth) is decapsulated from ATM at the point of entrance in the
DSLAM and processed as Ethernet traffic inside the DSLAM i.e. the internal architecture of
the DSLAM in this case is based on Ethernet.
> Finally option C shows a DSLAM that is not only based on an Ethernet switching core, but is
even capable of terminating Ethernet based access interfaces. These access interfaces can
be Ethernet based xDSL (such as packet based VDSL) or direct Ethernet interfaces (e.g.
optical links to connect end-users). The 7302 ISAM can currently terminate direct Ethernet
user interfaces as well as packet based VDSL and SHDSL (EFM = Ethernet in the First Mile).

> At the user side, the ISAM terminates ADSL/ADSL2/Re-ADSL/ADSL2+, SHDSL & VDSL
links. It is also possible to terminate a limited number of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
links (FE/GE).
> At the network side, the ISAM terminates GE or FE links. In case of more than 1 FE or 1 GE,
Ethernet link aggregation can be used. The Ethernet links can also be connected to 1 or more
Ethernet switches. The Ethernet switches forward the frames over the Ethernet based
aggregation access network until it reaches the IP Edge Router of the corresponding network
service provider. At the IP Edge Router, the frame enters the IP backbone of the network
service provider. The ISAM can also be connected directly to the IP Edge router, in which
case the Ethernet aggregation network is reduced to 1 or more parallel Ethernet links.
> At the user side it is also possible to connect subtending IP-DSLAMs. It is possible for
example to connect ISAMs in cascading model. The last system can be any IPDSLAM, e.g.
an ISAM/FTTN, or an Alcatel ASAM with an Ethernet uplink (FENT or GENT) or any other
kind of DSLAM with Ethernet uplink.

> The cascaded topology allows installing shelves and racks in a chain. The so-called
subtended system is connected to the main system through a subtending interface (such as
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet) and shares the network interface of the main system.
Depending on the exact purpose (expanding to large DSLAMs in certain central offices and/or
increasing coverage in the network by positioning DSLAMs at as many locations as possible),
the subtended systems can be located near the main system (=co-location) or at a remote
location.
> There is no strict limitation on the number of subtended ISAMs. Each ISAM has its own free
running clock. Of course, the available and necessary bandwidth has to be taken into
account.
> Note that also other types of DSLAMs can be cascaded of an ISAM via Fast or Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces: 730x ASAM, 730x ASAM-c, 7324 RU, non Alcatel DSLAMs.
> Sometimes, the cascaded topology is also referred to as the daisy-chained topology.

> The slide above shows the 7302 ISAMs XD system architecture.
> The 7302 ISAM XD consists of a set of 16 subscriber line termination (LT) boards, 1 or 2
network termination (NT) boards, 1 network termination I/O board, 1 alarm control unit (ACU)
board, all located in an eXtreme Density (XD) splitter-less shelf ALTS-T.
> The NT board contains an integrated aggregation function with a total switching capacity of 24
Gbps which is commonly referred to as the service hub (SHUB).
> Actually there are two ethernet switches on the NT having a capacity of 12 Gbps each, which
means the total switching capacity is 24 Gbps, corresponding with
16 GE ASAM links + 8 Ethernet links.
> Depending on the NT card type you will have 7 external Ethernet links + 1 control link or 8
external Ethernet links. In case of 8 external Ethernet links the connection of the SHUB with
the control and management function is no longer done via ethernet. This way the ISAM has
an additional network link (true e.g. for ECNT-C see later in this presentation)
> Whether a clock function (BITS) interface is present on the NT or not will also depend on the
variant of NT card.
> The 7302 ISAM XD does not have a dedicated power unit (the interface point to the external
DC power supply systems and provides power). On the shelf itself there are so called fast-on
connectors for providing power supply coming from the top rack unit (TRU).
The power signals BATA, BATB and BATRET are distributed via the backplane and feed the
plug-in units and fan units installed.
> You do not find the TAU module on this drawing, although ISAM XD equipment practice
provides this functionality. An RJ45 for test access (connection to TAU) is present on the
NTI/O ( see later), but the TAU module itself is on a TAUS-card which physically needs to be
inserted in the splitter-shelf.

> For the data path, in the 7302 ISAM-XD , the main building blocks are the LT boards on which
we can find the IWFs and the NT (see later) on which we can find the aggregation function. All
the data that passes through the 7302 ISAM-XD will always pass through the NT.
> The 7302 ISAM-XD is equipped with a large number of line termination
boards (LT). Different LTs exist for DSL access. Most of the LTs also need a paired applique
boards. These applique boards can reside in an equipment placed in the same rack or in
another location (see further in this document).
> In the 7302 ISAM-XD, each LT card is connected with the NT via the backpanel using a 1 GE
electrical interface. This way the Alcatel 7302 ISAM-XD offers wire speed delivery of
services towards each user through a non-blocking bandwidth of 1 Gigabit per slot.

responsible for the data forwarding towards the Ethernet aggregation network.
> Another functionality of the NT-board is the control plane of the 7302 ISAM required e.g. for
maintenance and operations, remote inventory information and shelf management.
It provides management interfaces (LAN, CRAFT, RCRAFT) to the outside world and control
interfaces towards the line termination (LT) boards and the network termination I/O.
> On the NT resides an interface and media conversion block which provides 3 or 4 (depending
on NT card type) external Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces are primarily intended to be
used as subtending and/or network links or for a directly connected user. In case optical
interfaces are needed the media converter on the NT converts the electrical signal coming
from the service hub into an optical signal.

> Besides providing network termination, the ECNT card performs Ethernet switching and
control functions for the 7302 ISAM-XD and the 7330 ISAM FTTN-XD, as well as for any
connected 7330 REM. It handles the xDSL, the shelf, and the switching data path.
> The ECNT card handles high-bandwidth IP services for xDSL subscribers by providing a 24
Gigabit Ethernet switching fabric (service hub).
In the downstream direction, high-bandwidth IP services enter the network termination side of
the 7302 ISAM or 7330 ISAM FTTN over connectivity at the ECNT card or through the NT I/O
(7302 ISAM) or GENC card (7330 FTTN).
> The ECNT card switches the Ethernet IP traffic. The appropriate packets for each connected
xDSL subscriber are then forwarded over the backplane to the LT. In the upstream direction,
the ECNT card receives Ethernet packets from the LTs over the backplane. The ECNT card
either switches the Ethernet packets to the high-bandwidth IP services network or passes
them to the NT I/O (7302 ISAM) or GENC (7330 ISAM FTTN) card.
> For expansion configurations with REMs, the NT on the 7330 FTTN host shelf switches traffic
destined for remote subscribers to expansion ports on the GENC card via the shelf backplane.
Traffic from remote subscribers is forwarded to the NT over the expansion links that connect
to the GENC card on the host shelf.
> The ECNT card supports inband or outband management traffic received through its
connectors. Local management (craft terminal) is supported by the ECNT card through craft
connections on the AACU (7302 ISAM) and PWIO (7330 ISAM) cards. The NT on the FTTN
host shelf is used to manage REMs which cannot behave as standalone units.

> The GENC card is a general facility card and is a field-replaceable unit . Its main functionality
is to provide connectivity and distribution for power feeds and external alarms
> The GENC is a plug-in unit that performs as stated above multiple functions in which also
additional optical Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for the 7330 FTTN ISAM 4-LT-slot host shelf
and remote units (REM).
> In total the GENC card provides 14 additional optical Gigabit Ethernet connectors to
supplement the connectors provided on the ECNT card.
On the GENC-E card faceplate, the first two optical ports (ports 4 and 5) are reserved for
network connections (uplinks).
Ports 6 and 7 are configurable as either uplinks or as expansion links (downlinks). The
other 10 ports are expansion ports. It is possible to have up to 12 expansion links
connected to remote expansion units for each host shelf since each shelf has one GENC
card.
> ITSC: Integrated Test and Sealing Current
The ITSC module is present as a daughter card of the GENC-F. The ITSC module is
used to perform narrowband tests and provide sealing current on customer lines. The
ITSC module replaces external test heads by providing:
a reduced-suite of narrowband tests to the customer
the ability to apply sealing current for dry (non POTS) lines.
73
> On the board the SFP modules for Gigabit Ethernet optical connectivity are not delivered with
the card but need to be ordered separately. Depending on the requirements of the operator.
The Optical Gigabit Ethernet ports support standard Alcatel optical SFPs.
> On the board itself the status of the SFP modules are indicated by LEDs.
> alarm and control support
> The GENC collects external alarms received through five general alarm inputs connected
through the PWIO and passes them to the active NT unit.
> The GENC controls the alarm LEDs on the PWIO. The GENC monitors the ACO switch on the
PWIO and controls the ACO LED (located on the PWIO-B).
ACO = alarm Cut Off : allows the audible alarms to be extinguished without affecting the
visual alarms. The audible alarms can be toggled as enabled or disabled.
> The ACU module is integrated on the GENC card. In other words, it is the GENC that
supports the craft port of the PWIO (used for connecting a craft terminal). The power status
and status of the board itself as well as information on SFPs are provided by LEDs on its
faceplate.
MTA support
> The GENC provides support for MTA-based testing and monitoring of one line at a time in the
4-LT-slot host shelf. MTA up and MTA down connections are made at the PWIO. The GENC
provides a relay-based matrix and monitor circuitry to connect the test in and test out signals
with the backplane for connection to the appropriate applique (the applique uses relays to
connect to the appropriate line). It is the GENC that controls the TAP activity LED on the
PWIO to indicate that MTA-based testing or monitoring is in progress.
> GENC-E : an alarm control and host expansion interface unit that performs multiple functions
and provides additional optical GE connectivity and expansion links for the ARAM-D shelf.
> GENC-F : an alarm control and host expansion interface unit that performs multiple functions,
including ITSC (integrated test and sealing current implemented on a daughter board), and
provides additional optical GE connectivity and expansion links for the ARAM-D shelf.

77
> On the SMAS-card the MAC-addresses of the NT/service hub that will be used for
management, are stored. When the system boots, the service hub gets its MAC-address(es)
from the SMAS-card. The 24 MAC-addresses for each port on the SHUB, are stored on the
PROM of the SMAS-card.
The reason why the MAC-addresses are stored on a separate card, that only contains a
remote inventory of the ISAM shelf, is that if it would be on the NT and the NT would fail, the
network might have trouble. The MAC-address will have been learned and if you replace the
failing NT by another one, a new MAC-address would have to be learned. What if the old arpentry first has to age? (e.g. a delay of 5 minutes). With the MAC-addresses on the SMAS
card, any NT will get the same MAC-addresses after replacement, so the switches in the
network dont need to learn any new MAC-addresses from the NTs.
> The SMAS card as depicted on the slide is only used in 7302 ISAM CO XD.
For 7330 FTTN XD, the SMAS functionality is integrated on the PWIO card.

> The slide above shows the 7302 ISAMs FD system architecture.
> The universal slot concept in the FD equipment practice allows the 7302 ISAM-FD shelf to
accommodate line termination cards and splitter cards. Therefore the 7302 ISAM FD shelf
(NSFX-A) can be configured as LT shelf, as splitter shelf or as a mixed shelf. A mixed shelf
combines LT/splitter pairs, with front cabling to interconnect LT and splitter.
> The NFXS-A shelf is used for the 7302 ISAM-FD.
The shelf has 16 universal slots, 2 NT slots and 1 NTIO slot. This way NT redundancy is
supported.
However the second NT slot and NTIO slot can also be used as universal slot, increasing the
capacity to 18 slots.
> The NT board - as with the XD equipment practice - contains an integrated aggregation
function with a total capacity of 24 Gbps which is commonly referred to as the service hub
(SHUB). There are two ethernet switches on the NT having a capacity of 12 Gbps each, which
means the total switching capacity is 24 Gbps, corresponding with 16 GE ASAM links + 8
extra Ethernet links.
These extra Ethernet links can then be used as uplink, subtended links or directly connected
end-user links.
> The NT cards for FD equipment practice can terminate 2 external Ethernet links.
The NTIO is providing the connectivity to the outside world for the 6 additional links.
> In the case where the second NT slot and NTIO slot are used as universal slots,
2 of these 8 Ethernet links are used as ASAM-links leaving us with 6 uplinks available on the
SHUB. As said before the NT in FD equipment provides connectivity to the outside world for
two of these links. So in that case 4 uplinks will remain unused. (uptil R3.2)
81
> Clocking and alarm control unit functionality are also provided on the NT
> Each LT card is connected with the NT (SHUB) via the backpanel using a
1 GE electrical interface (ASAM-links). The backplane of the FD however is ready to support
evolution to higher densities and higher subscriber bandwidths.
> Powering and other general shelf functionality (e.g. visual alarm indicators) (= the power unit)
is integrated in the 7302 ISAM FD shelf . This way the FD shelf can operate as a a standalone unit, allowing the operator to install the 7302 ISAM FD in any standard ETSI 2200 rack..
> You do not find the TAU module on this drawing, although ISAM FD equipment practice
provides this functionality in LT mode. MTA is not supported in combo mode. An RJ45 for test
access (connection to TAU) is present on the NTIO ( see later), but the TAU module itself is
on a TAUS-card which physically needs to be inserted in the splitter-shelf.
> The SMAS functionality (Remote Inventory PROM) is placed in a socket which is plugged on
the backplane.

The shelf has 8 universal slots, 2 NT slots and 1 NTIO slots. This way NT redundancy is
supported. However the second NT slot and NTIO slot can also be used as universal slot,
increasing the capacity to 10 slots.
> NT and LT cards used in 7302 ISAM FD are also used in the 7330 ISAM FTTN-FD. The
functionality of the different boards is the same as in the 7302 ISAM-FD.
> The difference with the 7302 ISAM-FD is the number of LT-slots and the fact that the 7330
ISAM FTTN-FD can be equipped with an NTIO with 6 external interfaces (NCNC-B) as well as
with an NTIO having 12 external interfaces (NCNC-C). Other NTIO cards have been released
from ISAM R3.4. See later for more information.

we can find the IWFs and the NT on which we can find the aggregation function.
All the data that passes through the 7302 ISAM will always pass through the NT.
> The 7302 ISAM-FD is equipped with a large number of line termination
boards (LT). Different LTs exist for DSL access. Most of the LTs also need a paired applique
boards. These applique boards can reside in a separate shelf or the same shelf.
> The 7302 subrack can be used in 2 modes.
LT-mode, the FD subrack is equipped with LT boards only . The corresponding splitter cards
must be placed in a splitter subrack which can be placed in the same rack or in a rack on
another location.
combo-mode, the FD subrack is equipped with LT boards and splitter boards. For each
equipped LT board, the corresponding splitter is placed in the slot to the right of the LT board
(see later)
> In the 7302, ISAM-FD, each LT card is connected with the NT via the backpanel using a GE
electrical interface.The backplane of the FD however is ready to support evolution to higher
densities and higher subscriber bandwidths.

is responsible for the data forwarding towards the Ethernet aggregation network.
> Another functionality of the NT-board is the control plane of the 7302 ISAM required e.g. for
maintenance and operations, remote inventory information and shelf management.
It provides management interfaces (LAN, CRAFT, RCRAFT) to the outside world and control
interfaces towards the line termination (LT) boards and the network termination I/O.
> On the NT resides an interface and media conversion block which provides 2 external
Ethernet interfaces. One of the interfaces will certainly be used as network link. The remaining
link can be used as subtending and/or network links. The media converter on the NT converts
the electrical signal coming from the service hub into an optical signal.
> Whether a clock function (BITS) interface is present on the NT or not will depend on the type
of NT card.
> NT redundancy is supported.
> In the ISAM FD equipment practice the ACU module is integrated on the NT board as well. It
is the ACU-module on the NT board that collects up to five external alarms, AC fail alarm,
door alarm, fuse alarm and two fan fail alarms and sends them to the NT. The ACU-module
sends its alarms to the NT board which transfers these signals to the element management
system.

In the downstream direction, high-bandwidth IP services enter the network termination side of
the 7302 ISAM-FD or 7330 ISAM FTTN-FD over optical or electrical connectivity at the NANT
card or through optical connectivity at the NT I/O card.
> The NANT card switches the Ethernet IP traffic. The appropriate packets for each connected
xDSL subscriber are then forwarded over the backplane by an LT unit. In the upstream
direction, the NANT card receives Ethernet packets from the LT units over the backplane. The
NANT card either switches the Ethernet packets to the high-bandwidth IP services network or
passes them to the NT I/O card for transmission to the high-bandwidth IP services network.
> For expansion configurations with remote expansion units, the NT unit on the 7330 ISAM
FTTN-FD host shelf switches traffic destined for remote subscribers to expansion ports on
the NT I/O card via the shelf backplane. Traffic from remote subscribers is forwarded to the
NT unit over the expansion links that connect to the NT I/O card on the host shelf.

> In general, the NCNC-B-C card is a NT I/O applique which interfaces with the NT board. It
provides additional GE interfaces to the FD subrack. (>R3.2)
> The NCNC-B serves as an NT I/O applique for the 7302 ISAM FD and 7330 FTTN ISAM FD.
It provides 6 slots for up to 6 SFP GE interface modules which are external to the NCNC-B
board.
In case the NCNC-B is mounted in a 7302 ISAM FD shelf the NCNC-B is providing additional
uplinks to the network, subtending links or directly connected end-user links.
When mounted in a 7330 ISAM FTTN FD shelf however, these links can also be used to
connect Remote expansion Modules (REMs) to the FD subrack.
The 6 links of the NCNC-B can be used as expansion links.
Support of # of expansion links will depend on Release.
The NCNC-B supports Metallic Test Access (MTA) by providing a serial TAUS interface to the
TAU module, providing communication between the 7302 ISAM NT and the Test Access unit
(TAU) of the splitter shelf. As stated before, when the ISAM FD shelf is used as combo shelf,
MTA is not supported.
> The NCNC-C serves as an NT I/O applique for 7330 FTTN ISAM FD only and provides 12
slots for up to 12 SFP GE interface modules which are external to the NCNC-C board. These
links can be used as network-, subtending-, directly connected end-user and/or expansion
links.
Max 6 links of the NCNC-C can be used as uplinks. The 12 links can be used as expansion
links. However, the support of # of expansion links will depend on Release.
No MTA nor Environment Monitoring Interface is provided via the NCNC-C.

> PSU
A DC input voltage enters the unit at the controller board, where the necessary filtering, fuses,
switches and surge protection is implemented. The -48V is distributed to the other slot positions via
the backplane. On the controller board, the -48V input voltage is converted to a 12VDC bus voltage
for powering the fan unit and a 3V3 bus voltage used to supply the On-Board Point-Of-Load (POL)
converter. The power consumption of the SB-REM is maximally 300 W (peak) and 200 W
(average) when powered from the NRCD-A. Power is applied to both BAT-A and BAT-B inputs, to
minimize the voltage drop on the boards. It uses the one with the highest absolute voltage. It
switches automatically to the other supply branch if a voltage drop or failure of the initial supply
branch occurs.
