About Release 9.0E Features, continued
STM4c-XCVR The AccessMAX STM4c-XCVR has a 622.08 Mbps fiber-optic interface.

Both a transmitter and a receiver are on a single card, each connecting to a
fiber-optic cable. The STM4c-XCVR uses a PIN receiver and a single-mode
laser operating at 1310 nm. An optical loss budget of 19 dB is possible. The
plug-in card has SC connectors.
As an uplink to the ATM data network, the STM4c-XCVR interfaces to any

UNI 3.1 or UNI 4.0 compliant ATM switch or router. The current software
release supports up to two STM4c-XCVR uplinks per shelf. This plug-in card
provides cost-effective video uplinks.
As an interterminal transceiver, the STM4c-XCVR supports Native ATM

connections. The card carries TDM and ATM traffic; TDM traffic is converted
to ATM cells. It reserves 50 Mbps for the TDM backplane, 20 Mbps for SDH
overhead, and up to 500 Mbps for data.
The STM4c-XCVR contains AFC’s next generation ASIC, the Pathfinder,

which is a key AFC differentiator and technology enabler providing access to
the ATM cell bus. The Pathfinder functions as an “ATM switch on a chip”
providing ATM switching, QoS, concentrator capabilities, and conversion of
TDM traffic to ATM and back to TDM.
The STM4c-XCVR plug-in card has the following features:
• Functions as a video uplink to an ATM network or as an interterminal

transport
• Utilizes the entire AccessMAX ATM cell bus capacity with a
software-upgradable path to access the high-speed serial bus
• SDH APS 1+1 enabled when provisioned as an uplink
• Provides SDH-compliant 622.08 Mbps physical interface
• Supports 2048 Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) as an interterminal
transport and 253 VCCs as an ATM uplink
• Provides 500 Mbps of data traffic capacity in addition to carrying the
entire TDM bus capacity
• SC connectors for easy installation
• Dual-memory support for non-service affecting upgrades
For more details, see the AccessMAX System Description manual.
IMA The Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) plug-in card offers a cost-effective
solution to deliver broadband services in networks comprised of TDM/SDH or
copper-based transport. The IMA plug-in card groups multiple, independent
E1 connections into one logical connection, known as an IMA group, for much
larger broadband service offerings.
An IMA plug-in card can support one interface (IMA group) provisioned as an
uplink to an ATM network.
IMA supports Native ATM only.
The IMA plug-in card has the following features:
• Supports one IMA group and up to eight E1 lines

• Provides up to 16 Mbps of broadband service
• Supports ATM QoS (UBR, CBR and rt-VBR)
• Supports up to 128 VCCs
For more information, see the AccessMAX System Description manual.
Enhanced The ADSL 6+0 plug-in card has been enhanced to support ADSL Performance
ADSL 6+0 Management on a per port basis. The ADSL 6+0 plug-in card offers lower
functionality
power/heat dissipation for increased capacity within cabinets. You can now use
up to 22 ADSL 6+0 cards per AccessMAX shelf.
Alarm log The AccessMAX now retains the alarm log history over a power outage.

Release 9.0E Potential Irregularities

Potential Irregularities
In this section This section describes the known potential system irregularities in the
AccessMAX Release 9.0E software, and lists the maintenance option
(if available) for each irregularity.
ADSL 4+6 The ADSL 4+6 plug-in card does not allow provisioning different modes on
mixed mode different circuits.
provisioning
Maintenance Options: Provision all four DSL circuits on the ADSL 4+6
plug-in card for the same mode (G.Lite, G.DMT, FullRate, or Multimode).
Bulk 1. Provisioning cross-connects from groomed E1 transceivers in groups of

provisioning more than 120 circuits may be unsuccessful.
cross-connects
on groomed E1 2. When more than 120 cross-connects are provisioned, reseating a
transceivers non-redundant CPU or power-cycling the CBA may cause loss of some
cross-connects.
Maintenance Options:
1. Provision cross-connects in multiple groups of no more than 120 circuits.
2. If loss of cross-connects occurs after reseating a non-redundant CPU or
power-cycling the CBA, reseat the E1 transceivers to re-establish the
provisioned cross-connects.
Time and Date In rare cases, manual CPU switchovers at RST1 result in the system date and
Change time resetting to January 1, 1992.
Maintenance Option: Reset the system date and time using the Set Date and
Set Time commands in the Date and Time Menu. (See “Administration” in the
User Interface manual for instructions.)
SHDSL plug-in You may notice CRC errors on the SHDSL plug-in card at loop lengths greater
card at loop than 3,000 meters.
lengths greater
than 3,000 Maintenance Option: If you are using the Rate-Adaptive mode, set the noise
meters margin to 10 dB using the Modify SHDSL Port Profiles command from the
Craft Interface. You can also change the mode to Fixed.
Potential Irregularities, continued
E1 IMA links as When an E1-XCVR or E1X-XCVR plug-in card (configured as a groomed

timing source timing source) is added to an IMA group, timing failures may occur when
provisioning the system to use IMA links as the timing source.
Maintenance Option: Use the Modify Transceiver Settings in the Craft
Interface to disable the E1 IMA link as a timing source. Use timing from
another groomed E1 or from V5.2, etc. All E1s belonging to an IMA group
should have timing disabled.
ISDN over V5 For ISDN services, the “List Digital Line Card Status” option in the Craft
line card status Interface displays incorrect “Unassigned” status information. For example, a
BER Maintenance alarm is set and then a BER Red alarm is set, the BER
Maintenance alarm should clear. If a BER Red alarm is set and you lose the
U interface, then the BER Red alarm should clear and a LOS alarm should be
set with status “Unassigned”. These may not be reported correctly in the Craft
Interface.
Maintenance Option: None.
MTU high DC When a DC leakage resistance is present at A (tip) to earth (ground), the A to
leakage earth and A to B (tip to ring) tests fail.
Switchovers Services such as data circuits, V5, etc., may be affected during switchovers
between redundant plug-in cards.
Maintenance Options:
1. Perform upgrades and switchovers during a maintenance window.
2. Always perform a software switchover as opposed to unseating a plug-in
card. Use this Craft Interface command path: Main Menu ➜ 2. Maintenance
Menu ➜ 5. Manual Protection Switch
3. Always wait 30 minutes after one switchover is complete before attempting
a second switchover on the same pair of plug-in cards.
V5 ISDN Overwriting cross-connects for V5.2 PRA and BRA ISDN and V5.1 BRA
cross-connect ISDN does not delete the previously provisioned ISDN D-channels.
modification
Maintenance Option: Delete V5.2 PRA and BRA ISDN and V5.1 BRA
ISDN cross-connects using the Delete Cross-Connect command, then create
the new cross-connects.
ISDN traffic Active ISDN traffic may interfere with:

during 1. deploying a redundant ELU-3/EBC-3 span, and
switchovers
2. performing CPU-3 switchovers
Maintenance Option: If a technician is at the remote terminal to deploy
redundant ELU-3/EBC-3 spans or perform a CPU-3 switchover, unplug the
RI-ISDN plug-in cards before installing the redundant ELU-E/EBC-3 spans or
performing the CPU-3 switchover.
If the technician is at the local terminal, unplug the LI-ISDN plug-in cards
before performing the CPU-3 switchover or installing the redundant
ELU-3/EBC-3 spans.
In either case, once the redundant ELU-3/EBC-3 spans are stable or once the
CPU-3 switchover is complete and stable, plug in any LI- or RI-ISDN cards
you unplugged.
VCC New VCC cross-connects may not overwrite established VCC cross-connects
cross-connects of a different type in the same range.
Maintenance Option: Delete established VCC cross-connects before
provisioning new VCC cross-connects of a different type in the same range.
IPMI upgrade Once you upgrade an IPMI plug-in card from Release 7.1, you cannot revert to
the Release 7.1 software load.
Maintenance Option: Have a spare IPMI plug-in card with the Release 7.1
software load if you want to revert.
STM1c-XCVR The STM1c-XCVR plug-in card in concentrator mode returns no PM data.

does not return Maintenance Option: None.
PM data
Disabling Disabling an E1-XCVR plug-in card in an IMA group does not result in a
E1-XCVR in reduction in bandwidth.
IMA group
Maintenance Option: Pull and reseat the E1-XCVR plug-in card.
Protection Byte When a protection group has a “Protection Byte” alarm raised against it, and
alarm not that protection group is deleted, the associated alarm is not deleted.
deleted
Maintenance Option: Reprovision the protection group, clear all protection
group alarms, then delete the protection group.
ADSL PM When an LOS alarm occurs on any ADSL circuit, the 15-minute bin for that
“Incomplete period/circuit displays “Incomplete Stats” along with the current statistics
Stats”
within the bin.
Maintenance Option: None. In AccessMAX Release 10.0, AFC will use
different terminology to differentiate between “Incomplete Stats,” which
means the bin did not correctly log the statistics and an indication that a line
fault was detected during the collection period.
AoT ATM During an ATM rollover, bit errors as high as 1x10-6 may be seen on AoT ATM
services data services deployed with a CPU-3 plug-in card until they are rolled over to
deployed with
CPU-3 Native ATM.
Maintenance Option: None. Errors cease when rollover to Native ATM is
complete.
ELU-3/EBC-3 During the AUP upgrade process, if you choose to revert the ELU-3/EBC-3
plug-in cards: software version from 1.0.10 to a previous version, you may affect service.

version
STM1c When creating an STM1c APS protection group and attempting to provision an
secondary STM1cu-XCVR as the secondary card, AccessMAX displays this error
uplinks
message: “ERROR - Secondary plug-in Type Must Be Same As Primary
Card.”
Maintenance Option: In an STM1c protection group, both cards must be the
same type. If your primary card in an APS uplink is an STM1c-XCVR, then
the secondary must be an STM1c-XCVR. For an STM1cu-XCVR uplink, only
a single card may be in a protection group.
In addition, you must connect to the Craft Interface port of the primary CBA of
the terminal with the uplink, and you must pre-provision the slot for an uplink.
Transceiver Any VCC cross-connects provisioned to a transceiver card provisioned for

cross-connect transport will not be established by AccessMAX, and will not use up any
provisioning
backplane resources. However, these VCC cross-connects will lessen the total
number of VCC cross-connects that can be supported by the system.
Maintenance Option: Do not provision VCC cross-connects to transceiver
cards provisioned for transport.
Upgrade to Upgrading an existing AccessMAX system may involve changing out an

CPU-3 existing CPU-2 or CPU-1.6 plug-in card to a CPU-3 plug-in card. In very rare
cases, the CPU-3 may not boot after installation.
Maintenance Option: Contact AFC’s Technical Assistance Center at
+1-707-792-3500, for a recommended procedure to boot the CPU-3 plug-in
card.
Disabling and STM1c-XCVR plug-in cards in protected APS groups do not function properly
re-enabling after being disabled and re-enabled.
STM1c-XCVR in
APS groups For example: An STM1c protection group has a working and a protected
STM1c-XCVR plug-card. If a user disables either the working or protect card
and re-enables the disabled card, the downstream and/or upstream traffic in this
protection group terminates.
Maintenance Option: Only disable and re-enable STM1c-XCVR cards that
are not in APS groups.
STM1/STM4 Reported autonomous STM1 and STM4 Threshold Crossing Alert (TCA)
Threshold strings do not match the strings in the “List Performance Monitoring
Crossing Alerts
