Chapter 1 TAM Overview

Chapter 1. TAM Overview

1. Overview
Total Access Module (TAM) provides telephone services and high-speed data service on a single
platform, accommodating voice subscribers (POTS) and data subscribers (VDSL, Ethernet), and thus
is available on both Pre-NGN and NGN environments.

The Pre-NGN refers to the phase before the NGN is fully implemented in which Softswitch that
configures the Service and Control layer; servers including Application Server (AS); packet network
equipment that configures the Transport layer; and gateways such as access, trunk, and signaling
gateways that configure the Access layer are not yet implemented.

In the Pre-NGN phase, TAM provides subscriber services in interworking with the Local Exchange
(LE) while in the NGN phase, it provides subscriber services in interworking with Softswitch instead
of the LE.

1.1 TAM Configuration


TAM can provide the following functions and services.

System Type

1) TAM-CS1000

(1) Host Mode

- Installed in various locations such as CO/remote CO/APT/biz. Buildings, to accommodate

Chapter 1 TAM Overview

TAM-HS

Installed in CO, TAM-HS accommodates both voice and data subscribers near the CO. As designed to
accommodate numbers of TAM-CS1000s (RS Mode) as remote systems, TAM-HS can accommodate
remote subscribers.

TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode)

Installed in various locations such as CO/remote CO/APT/business building, TAM-CS1000 (Host


Mode) accommodates both voice and data subscribers. As designed to accommodate numbers of TAM-
CS1000s (RS Mode) as remote systems, TAM-CS1000 can accommodate remote subscribers
seamlessly. In order to control services, it interworks with the Local Exchange or Softswitch. When
installed outdoors, TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode) should be installed in an outdoor housing that meets the
environmental conditions of the outdoor.

TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode)

Installed in various locations such as remote CO/APT/business buiding as a remote system of TAM-
HS or TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode), TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) accommodates both voice and data
subscribers. In order to control the system services, it interworks with the LE or Softswitch via the
TAM-HS or the TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode).
When intalled outdoors, the TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) should be installed in an outdoor housing that
meets the environmental conditions of the outdoor.

Local Exchange (LE)

In the Pre-NGN phase, the LE provides call services for the subscribers accommodated in TAM, in
interworking with the TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode). For this, it is connected to TAM-CS1000 (Host
Mode) via E1 physical interface. Signaling between these systems is performed according to V5.2
protocol. Consisting of LAPV5 in Layer 2, and PSTN, Port Control, Link Control, and Protection
protocols in Layer 3, the V5.2 protocol performs call connection and disconnection and transfers voice
traffic to the defined bearer channel. Besides, it also transfers voice traffic among subscribers in a
reverse direction, according to the same procedure.

Softswitch

In the NGN phase, Softswitch provides call services to the subscribers accommodated in TAM, in
interworking with TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode). For this, TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode) and Softswitch
are connected via the physical interface by 10/100Base-T Ethernet. Signaling between them is
performed by open protocol “MEGACO”.

Element Management System (EMS)

The EMS is a centralized management system for TAM-CS1000 with which it is connected via the
physical interface of 10/100Base-T Ethernet. TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) is not connected directly to the
EMS but it is still managed by the MS through the interworking with TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode).

2.2 Call Processing Functions

2.2.1 PSTN Control

For PSTN control, PSTN call processing between LE subscribers and TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode)
subscribers through V5.2 interface and call processing between TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode) and TAM-
CS1000 (RS Mode) through STM-1/E1 interface are performed by PSH and VPC blocks. The PSTN
control part receives the subscriber status change report from the control processor, forms it into a
message in interworking with V5.2 protocol handling part and sends the message to LE, to establish a
call.

For subscribers allocated to TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode), the host system interworking part is added
between the subscriber and LE. Other than that, as the call processing between the LE and TAM-
CS1000 (Host Mode) is the same, basic status report messages and types are also the same as those for
the subscribers allocated to TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode).

For subscriber control TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode) uses Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
protocol among those provided as V5.2 protocol. Without getting involved in call control, TAM-
CS1000 (Host Mode) sends analog line status information to LE over V5.2 interface, and the LE
controls the calls of the connected subscriber lines. Most line signaling is not interpreted by PSTN
protocol but transparently transferred and processed directly between the subscriber port of TAM-
CS1000 (Host Mode) and LE. The LE performs general call control functions, which include
transmitting/receiving Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF), tone generation and announcement, while
TAM processes connection-related parameters such as analog signal recognition time and period,
meter pulse voltage and frequency, ring current, and detailed processing of signaling sequence.

To provide call processing for analog subscribers, TAM requires a procedure to allocate channels for
V5.2 interface, for which it uses Bearer Channel Connection (BCC) protocol provided by V5.2
protocol. Most other functions including number translation, routing, and speech path setup are
handled by LE.

PSTN control function is performed by PSH and VPC blocks. Overall call processing flow and the
functions of each block are illustrated in the following figure.

PSH block
The PSH block is a software block built in MP processor of TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode), which
performs call control through direct communication between VPC and the processor. Subscriber
Control Time-switch Module (SCTM) hardware block scans TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) subscribers
and when the subscriber status changes (Hook-on -> Hook-off), it sends the status change report to
PSH block. When receiving the hook-off report, the PSH block also receives the corresponding
subscriber’s physical line number. It translates the physical line number into a logical line number
and sends it to the call control interworking block, to inform that the subscriber hooked off.

VPC block
The VPC block manages POTS subscribers’ LNs and interface and port numbers for the LNs. It also
performs mapping between the provisioned subscriber information provided by V5.2 and the control
numbers at TAM. It performs V5.2 protocol processing for Hook_off, Hook_on and Hook_flash
messages from POTS subscribers and reports them to LE, as a means of call control. When receiving
the ring connection or disconnection request with ‘Establish’ message or signaling message, the VPC
block transfers the request to the PSH block, to connect or disconnect the ring.

2.2.2 Softswitch Interface Function

Softswitch interface function is a module that handles protocol and messages for Softswitch
interworking, and the related services, which includes call control according to H.248/Megaco
protocol.

H.248/Megaco protocol is the standard control protocol between access gateway and Softswitch, to
control basic call connection and perform supplementary service function for voice subscribers in
NGN, which operates above IP and UDP.

The Softswitch interface function is performed by LMCC block.

LMCC block
The LMCC block performs call connection control functions, such as reporting the message received
from the voice subscriber control card to Softswitch and connecting resources or transferring
messages to the control card depending on the call control information received from Softswitch.

In addition, the LMCC block analyzes the command received from Softswitch, or converts the call
control message into Megaco protocol and sends it to Softswitch.

2.2.3 V5.2 Connection Control

TAM subscribers consist of local subscribers directly connected to TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode) or
remote subscribers accommodated in TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) and connected to TAM-CS1000 (Host
Mode) through STM-1s/E1.

For those directly connected to TAM-CS1000, the PHS block detects changes in the subscriber status,
performs proper protocol processing for the changes, and interfaces the subscribers to LE via V5.2. For
those accommodated in TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) subscribers, the VPC receives the status change
report through E1/STM-1 and performs V5.2 connection control procedure.

Basic procedures for V5.2 connection control include subscriber connection/disconnection and bearer
channel allocation/deallocation procedures, which are controlled by the VPC block and V5.2 device.

VPC block

The VPC block is a software block equipped in MP of TAM-CS1000 (Host Mode), which processes
V5.2 protocol and performs V5.2 connection control interface with LE in interworking with the
directly connected POTS subscriber control block (PHS block).

The VPC block provides the interface with the RS interworking control part for the subscribers
connected to TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) and the interface to control V5.2 connection with LE.

It supports management of FSM table set forth in V5.2 related standard, message encoding/decoding,
message sending/receiving, startup procedure, link status change, port status change, and call
processing . See [Figure 2-26].

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

V5.2 device functions

The V5.2 device provides the interface between the link card that processes Layer 2 of V5.2 protocol
and the VPC block that processes Layer 3. The VPI block monitors link card status, detects the status
change, and reports it to a higher level block. It provides the following main functions.

(1) Outgoing call establishment for the directly connected POTS subscribers

The PHS block activates call establishment with LE by the request to establish a call from the
PHS block. Mapping to V5.2 subscriber information is performed by the VPC block through EN
to LN mapping at the subscriber management table. If there is no V5.2 subscriber information to
be mapped, the V5.2 device initiates call disconnection procedure for the subscriber who has
requested the call establishment. If the subscriber information is valid, it performs the procedure
to establish the call to LE using the V5.2 connection control function. If ESTABLISH ACK
message is not received from the LE in response to ESTABLISH message, it retransmits
ESTABLISH message periodically according to the preset timer.

(2) Outgoing call establishment for the POST subscribers connected to TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode)

The V5.2 device activates call establishment with LE by the request to establish a call from the
TAM subscriber interworking control part. The TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode) subscriber information
is mapped to the V5.2 subscriber information in steps: First, the subscriber interworking control
part sends the call establishment request to the VPC block with the corresponding subscriber’s
LN, and the VPC block maps the V5.2 subscriber information to the LN. If there is no V5.2
subscriber information to be mapped, the V5.2 device initiates call disconnection procedure for
the subscriber who has requested the call establishment. If the subscriber information is valid, it
performs the procedure to establish the call to LE using the V5.2 connection control function. If
ESTABLISH ACK message is not received from the LE in response to ESTABLISH message, it
retransmits ESTABLISH message periodically according to the preset timer.

(3) Bearer channel allocation to the V5.2 originating party

The V5.2 device initiates the procedure to allocate bearer channels to LE for establishing the
speech path for the originating subscriber. It checks the bearer channel information received
from the LE, and sends only the valid bearer channel information to the resource control part.
When the received bearer channel information is not valid, it sends ALLOCATION REJECT
message to the LE.

(4) Bearer channel allocation to the V5.2 terminating party

In order to establish speech path for the terminating subscriber, the V5.2 device needs to perform
the bearer channel allocation procedure with LE. It checks the bearer channel information
received from the LE, and sends only the valid bearer channel information to the resource
control part. When the received bearer channel information is not valid, it sends ALLOCATION
REJECT message to the LE. When the bearer channel allocation to the terminating subscriber
fails, the call establishment request from the corresponding originating subscriber is released by
the LE.

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

(5) Call establishment for the V5.2 terminating party

When the bearer channel allocation procedure for the terminating subscriber is normally
completed, the call establishment procedure for the corresponding terminating subscriber is
initiated by LE. When the call establishment procedure for the terminating part is normally
completed, the speech path between the originating and the terminating subscribers is finally
connected.

(6) Call establishment completion

When hook-on signal is received from the originating or the terminating subscriber, the call
establishment completion procedure is initiated. The subscriber hook-on is detected by the
subscriber interworking control part and reported to the V5.2 connection control part. The V5.2
connection control part performs the call establishment completion procedure in interworking
with LE and also with the subscriber interworking control part.

(7) Audit procedure

When the bearer channel information contained in ALLOCATION/DEALLOCATION message


received from LE with regard to bearer channel allocation/de-allocation is not valid, the V5.2
device performs the audit procedure in order to prevent bearer channel status discrepancy with
the LE.

2.2.4 V5.2 Configuration Protocol Control

V5.2 configuration protocol control is an essential function provided for TAM-CS1000 to


communicate with LE via V5.2 interface. V5.2 configuration protocol consists of CONTROL protocol
for controlling the subscriber ports between TAM and LE and for managing the interface and variant
configuration, LINK CONTROL protocol for identifying and managing the V5.2 link status, and
PROTECTION protocol for protecting C-path upon abnormal status occurrence in V5.2 C-channel.
The V5.2 configuration protocol control function is performed by the VPC block.

Control protocol

This protocol is managed by the VPC block, which is divided into subscriber port status control and
general control functions. The subscriber port status control provides blocking/unblocking of certain
subscriber ports, while the general control function supports the procedure for identifying V5.2
interface IDs and variant IDs between TAM and LE, re-provisioning procedure, restart procedure for
PSTN protocol among V5.2 protocols, and ALL PORT UNBLOCK procedure for all subscribers.
Each function is detailed below.

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

(1) Subscriber port blocking command


Upon fault detection in a subscriber port or operator’s request, or according to VPC block’s own
judgement, the VPC block requests CONTORL protocol to block the certain subscriber port. The
subscriber blocking request can be made in both ways, TAM and LE. When the subscriber port
is blocked, LE releases the call being processed for the corresponding subscriber port.

(2) Subscriber port blocking request


Except for emergency, TAM can request LE to block a subscriber port. If it is not subscriber port
blocking in an emergency in the TAM VPC block’s judgment, the VPC block sends the
subscriber port blocking request to the LE. Upon receiving the request, the system management
part of the LE decides whether it is possible to block the subscriber port or not. According to the
decision, it sends the subscriber port blocking report or the subscriber port unblocking report to
TAM.

(3) Subscriber port unblocking


Upon error recovery of a subscriber port or on request of the operator, the VPC block can send
the port unblocking request to CONTROL protocol stack., to perform the subscriber port
unblocking procedure. Subscriber port unblocking requires both sides to coordinate. The
subscriber port unblocking request requires acknowledgement from the other side before the port
is actually unblocked. In order to ensure such coordination, the control function FSM blocks of
both sides have two types of port unblocking statuses (local/remote link unblocking). This
procedure is symmetrical to each other between TAM and LE.

(4) All port unblocking request


ALL PORT UNBLOCK request is used to accelerate the subscriber port alignment (unblocking)
between TAM and LE. When the VPC block sends this request to CONTROL protocol FSM,
and the CONTROL protocol FSM sends it to the remote office. This procedure can be initiated
both by TAM and LE. ALL PORT UNBLOCK request from the LE is sent to the VPC block,
where it may be accepted or rejected according to the VPC block’s decision. When accepting the
request from the LE, the VPC block should change the status of all subscriber ports allocated to
V5.2 interface to unblocking status. When it is impossible to unblock a subscriber port, the VPC
block sends the port unblocking request for the corresponding port to the LE, to unblock the port.

(5) Reprovisioning procedure


For V5.2 configuration management, TAM and LE should be synchronized with each other.
When V5.2 resource status changes during operation or by the operator’s request, the VPC block
can request the remote office for V5.2 configuration change. For configuration change,
CONTORL protocol provides the procedure required for synchronization between TAM and LE.
This procedure is classified into the procedure for identifying interface and variant IDs of the
current configuration, the procedure for checking the possibility of configuration change, and the
procedure for configuration change request. Reprovisioning can be requested by both TAM and
LE. During the reprovisioning procedure, all subscriber ports allocated to the interface are
blocked. The VPC block requests the remote office for the current interface and variant IDs
information, and check if there is any problem in the current configuration information. Then, it
sends new variant information to the remote office, to check if it is possible to change the
configuration information. The remote office may accept or reject the configuration change
request and if rejecting the request, it should specify the cause. When it is possible to change the
configuration, V5.2 interface configuration is changed according to the new variant information,
SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)
PAGE : 2-37
LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

which should be followed by the port unblocking procedure for subscriber ports allocated to the
interface.

(6) PSTN restart procedure


When TAM or LE system management part decides that it is necessary to restart all POTS
subscriber ports, the LE can request to restart the POTS subscriber ports using CONTROL
protocol PSTN protocol FSM restarts the POTS subscriber ports. To restart the POTS subscriber
port, the VPC block interworks with the PSTN protocol FSM. When requesting to restart the
POTS subscriber ports, the VPC block change the status of all POTS subscribers allocated to
V5.2 interface to OUT-OF-SERVICE status and then requests the remote office to restart the
POTS subscriber ports. When the VPC block receives the restart completion message from the
PSTN protocol FSM, the POTS subscriber status is changed to NULL.

Link control

Link control protocol is managed by the VPC block, to identify and manage the status of V5.2 links
between TAM and LE. Upon error occurrence or recovery in a V5.2 link or on request of the operator,
the VPC block performs link block/unblock function, in order to ensure the stability of the V5.2 link
in conjunction with PROTECTION protocol. In addition, the VPC verifies link IDs between TAM
and LE through the V5.2 interface startup process or on request of the operator, in order to prevent
the link ID discrepancy between TAM and LE in the first place. The link control protocol provides
the following functions:

(1) Link blocking command

When L1 error is detected on both TAM and LE or on request of the operator, the VPC block can
block one or more links on V5.2 interface. The link blocking procedure is performed by the link
blocking command from TAM or LE. When the link blocking procedure starts, TAM sends the
link blocking command to the remote office according to LINK CONTROL FSM recommended
in ETS 347-1 and then manages the corresponding link status as blocked. If necessary, the link
blocking command is used for moving logical C-channel upon request of the LE according to
PROTECTION protocol.

(2) Link blocking request

Upon request of the operator, the VPC block can request LC to block links, separately as
delayable and as non-delayable. The link blocking procedure starts when the link blocking
request is sent to LE according to FSM defined in ETS 300 347-1 after the operator’s request is
transferred to LINK CONTROL protocol via the VPC block. After receiving the TAM
delayable/non-delayable link blocking request created by the operator, the LE releases bearer
channels on the corresponding link immediately for the non-delayable link blocking. For
delayable link blocking, it keeps unallocated bearer channels as released and waits until the
allocated bearer channels are released, and then sends the link blocking command to TAM.

PAGE : 2-38 SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)


LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

(3) Link unblocking

When the VPC block sends the link block request to LINK CONTROL protocol stack upon L1
error recovery or by the operator’s request, the link unblocking procedure is performed.
Unblocking a link of V5.2 interface requires both sides to coordinate. The link unblocking
request requires acknowledgement from the other side before the link is actually unblocked. In
order to ensure such coordination, the control function FSM blocks of both sides have two types
of link unblocking statuses (local/remote link unblocking). This procedure is symmetrical to
each other between TAM and LE.

(4) Link identification procedure

When Layer 1 error is recovered, Layer 1 link FSM displays MPH-AI message and the message
is sent to the VPC block via LINK CONTROL protocol. Upon receiving this message, the VPC
block decides whether to or not to perform the link identification procedure. The link
identification procedure can be initiated even after reprovisioning, which also depends on the
VPC block’s decision. All V5.2 interfaces of TAM or LE perform only one link identification
request from the VPC block at a time. In order to avoid internal blocking condition caused by
identification of the link requested by both sides at the same time at the same point, the LE is
given the higher priority than TAM. Except the resolution of the link identification, continuing
procedure is described as if it is performed in only one side due to the symmetry between TAM
and LE. The link identification can be successfully started only when LINK CONTROL FSM is
in status 2.0 with MDU-IDReq. In other cases, the link identification request is rejected directly
or indirectly with the information about link control status.

Protection control

Protection control protocol is a function to manage C-channels established between TAM and LE. By
the operator’s request or when a data link error occurs on C-path, the VPC block performs the
switchover procedure for switching the C-path established in active C-channel over to standby C-
channel by blocking/unblocking V5.2 links. The protection control protocol provides the following
functions:

(1) Sequence number reset procedure

The sequence number reset procedure is a symmetric procedure started from an entity that
detects the alignment status of status variables. This procedure is initiated when at least one of
two data links for PROTECTION protocol is established at the time when the system starts. In
this case, the TAM VPC block or the LE VPC generates MDU-PROTECTION (reset sn req) for
the PROTECTION protocol entity, to request the sequence number reset procedure. The
procedure uses message RESET SN COM and RESET SN ACK, which do not include the
sequence number. When this procedure is successfully completed, the Tx status variable VP(S)
and the Rx status variable VP(R) are reset to 0.

SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)
PAGE : 2-39
LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

(2) Switch-over request

When a fault is detected in TAM or when the operator initiates switchover through EMS, the
switchover request procedure is performed. When the switchover request is initiated by the
operator, the standby C-channel to be used is displayed on the EMS. At this time, SWITCH-
OVER REQ message can include the logical C-channel to be switched and the target standby C-
channel. When a standby C-channel is not included in the message, the LE selects a target
standby C-channel. For the switchover request from TAM, the LE decides whether to accept or
to reject the request. When rejecting the request, the LE should send CAUSE to TAM.

(3) (OS) Switch-over command

When LE requests TAM for switchover, the OS switchover procedure is performed. SWITCH-
OVER REQ message includes the logical C-channel to be switched and the target standby C-
channel. The TAM VPC block decides whether to accept or to reject the switchover request from
the LE. When rejecting the request, TAM should send CAUSE to the LE. However, for the OS
switchover command, TAM cannot reject the request because of the reason that the target
physical C-channel already has logical C-channel. Therefore, if the target standby C-channel for
the OS switchover command is active C-channel, the C-channel must be emptied first, which is
called ‘pre-emption’. The pre-emption is performed only for Protection Group 2.

2.2.5 Data Service Control

The data service control provides L3 routing function requested to provide VDSL and Ethernet
subscribers accommodated in TAM with data service, and L2 switch cards (GSPC/VSLC/ESIC)
control function. It is performed by the following three major blocks.

NSM block

The NSM block provides the IP-related configuration management function, and also performs the
following detailed functions:
- Port configuration information management and interface creation [at startup, during operation]
- Interface establishment/release control (HMI/CLI)
- Interface information transmission [at startup, during operation]
- Port status information reception
- Interface shutdown/noshutdown

The NSM block controls information switching among blocks such as Routing Protocol, MCRMF,
OS Kernel and Forwarding Engine (FE). For this, it performs the following functions:
 - Block connection
 - System interface information distribution
 - Virtual Private Network (VPN) function
 - Routing table management
 - Forwarding route selection and distribution
 - Static routing

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

OSPF block
The OSPF block provides the subscribers accommodated in TAM with L3 routing function. OSPF is
an internal routing protocol, that solves the defects of RIP, and OSPF Version 2 is described in
RFC2328. It is the link-state protocol, which uses the concept of ‘area’. Therefore, it can be used in a
large-scale network. It provides a means to prevent loops from being formed and features a short
convergence time.

[Figure 2-28] Hierarchical Routing Structure of OSPF

Based on Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm, the OSPF block selects the optimal path taking the
following evaluation elements into consideration:
 - Link transmission capability
 - Requirement for delay and productivity
 - Number of packets waiting on the link
 - Network load balance
 - Security requirement for the link
 - Number of intermediate nodes between Tx nodes and Rx nodes

Though varying with network circumstances, the path selection must consider three elements of
(1) transmission delay, (2) productivity and (3) connectivity. The SPF algorithm selects the least-
cost path between two communicating nodes. Here, the cost refers a relative value calculated
from the evaluation elements valued by a certain communication application among those listed
above.

SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)
PAGE : 2-41
LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

To establish a path from the source to the destination, the SFP algorithm operates as follows:
(1) Calculates the cost based on evaluation elements for each path on the network.
(2) Calculates the cost required to travel from the source node to each of adjacent nodes in the
network, and selects the one among adjacent nodes that costs the least as the reference node.
(3) Performs Step (2) for the node adjacent to the source node in steps. But, when a path that
costs the least for the same node is found, replaces the existing cost with this value.
(4) Creates a cost table for each path from the source node to the destination node as a result of
Step (3), and decides the routing topology by selecting only the least-cost nodes from the
cost table.

IDC block
The IDC block performs MMI handling (IMD/OMD) required for interworking with EMS and
modification/updating of the required information with the subscriber card, in order to provide data
subscribers accommodated in TAM with data services. In addition, it collects and transfers
status/fault/statistics information. It provides the following functions:
 - EMS interworking
 - VDSL card interworking (SNMP)
 - VDSL subscriber port setup
 - IP service control
 - Software update
 - Status/fault/statistics information transfer

2.3 Operation and Management Functions

2.3.1 TMS

The TMS (TAM Manager System) provides EMS-level system management functions for NEs for
efficient management of TAM NEs, and also provides MD function for the TAM-EMS interworking
(TIMS/ANSWERS). The TAM EMS provides Java-based GUI interface for UI client so that the user
can easily and conveniently monitor and control the target system. It consists of subsystems to perform
EMS management functions, such as UIss, UISFss, MFss, NIss and DBss.

UIss (User Interface SubSystem )


The UIss provides the system operator with the graphical user interface function for the convenience of
TAM operation.
Unlike MFss in EMS, the UIss supports forward-part functions only. As being the part with which the
operator comes in direct contact in EMS software, the UIss provides the operator with the interactive
elements that can greatly reduce the operator’s errors and thus help the operator understand the system
operation status easily and correctly.

UISFss (User Interface Server Function SubSystem)


The UISFss defines the interface with the GUI system of TAM EMS (hereinafter to be referred to as
UIss). The UIss is a client operating mainly in Web/Java or Native TCP/IP environment, which takes
charge of user interface, and the UISFss provides the server environment for the UIss. In addition, the
UISFss uses the functions defined by MFss. The UIss and the UISFss communicate with each other
using IIOP (CORBA). For direct communication with network elements, they use MML messages. For
communication within TAM EMS manager system, the UISFss uses MML messages and the operation
of objects defined to be public in the TAM ESM manager. For MML PDU format of the MML
messages used by the UIss and the UISFss, ASCII printable string is used.

MFss (Management Function SubSystem)


The MFss defines major application program functions of TAM-EMS. It consists of blocks to perform
general, configuration, fault, and performance management functions. Unlike UIss in EMI, these
blocks support backward-part functions, and play pivotal roles in EMS software.

DBss (Data Base SubSystem)


The DBss provides the function to store and manage over a long term the data required for operation
among all events, command responses, messages and log data received from TAM-EMS and NEs. Not
only being capable of reformatting and sending the stored data, the DBss also provides database API,
shared memory management API, and file management API for the convenience of data operation. In
general, the data stored in DB is mostly log data generated during EMS operation and those related to
alarms or performance. When necessary, the data about current status of NEs, the management objects
of EMS, is also stored and managed.

PAGE : 2-44 SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)


LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

Niss (Network Interface SubSystem)


The NIss provides interface between TAM EMS and TAM NEs. It is assumed that each NE is operated
and managed using TL1 messages. UMSC is defined to use TL1 messages, and the IN equipment SCP
and SMS are also considering to use TL1 messages for operation and management. The TL1 messages
used between the NIss and NEs are classified into two types: Operations messages given by the
operator and Response or Notification messages reported from NEs to the operator. The NIss’s main
function is to handle these TL1 messages. The TL1 messages are exchanged between the NIss an d the
NE, in the form of TL1 PDU.

2.3.2 TAM Agent

TAM agent is required to efficiently manage TAM NEs, the management object systems of TAM EMS.
It provides the system management function using the management command received from EMS, and
the system information collection function to provide notifications about system performance and
alarms. TAM agent functions are performed by MFss, EISS and NIss.

MFss(Management Function SubSystem)

The MFss defines the agent functions corresponding to MFss functions of TAM-EMS, and performs
general, configuration, fault, and performance management functions as an agent. It consists of
Accelerator that receives the management command from TAM-EMS and transfers it to the system,
and Translator that translates response or notification messages sent from the system in order to map
them to IIOP (CORBA) PDU.

Eiss(External Interface SubSystem)

The EIss servers as the interface with TAM, and plays the role of a poller that sends the data
generated in MFss to the system and check whether response or notification message arrives from the
system or not.

Niss(Network Interface SubSystem)

The NIss provides the interface between TAMMS (TAM-EMS) and TAMAS (TAM Agent), which is
operated and managed according to IIOP (CORBA). The NIss consists of Operation Manager that
receives the management command from TAMMS, Event Manager that sends the response or
notification message for the command.

2.3.3 Data Processing Functions

For data processing functions, there are signaling device data processing function, system data
processing function, and general data processing function.

Signaling device data processing function

By the operator’s request, TMS changes and displays the information about signaling devices such as
tone and ring. It also changes/displays various time values required to be identified during call
service processes. TAM provides the criteria and process for signaling device data processing, and
the interworking with service and resource management functions.

System data processing function

By the operator’s request, TMS modularizes and displays processor configuration information, and
speech path and I/O device configuration status from the aspect of hardware configuration. It
displays the information about out-of-service devices during system operation, and the threshold
values for fault isolation calculated by system resources. It also displays the manufacture version of
application program, and at the same time processes configuration status of various interface devices
and information about service enable and disable status.

Data processing function

Data processing function refers to a function to display, change, delete, and add data interface
information in TAM. It is performed in interworking with the operator interface function.

2.3.4 Statistics Functions

In TAM, the statistics functions are performed for performance, resources, faults, calls, and protocol.

1) Performance
- Total OS CPU load, total dummy CPU load, total user CPU load
- Numbers of internal IPCs, Rx IPCs, and Tx IPCs

2) Resources
- Displays the numbers of V5.2 links equipped, available, blocked, faulty, and deleted.

3) Faults
- DA-bus answer-back
- Deletion and FUF of subscriber control card and subscriber card
- Deletion and FUF of sub-highway (SHW & subscriber card - voice device cable) and signaling
devices

4) Call
- Numbers of V5.2 channels connected/disconnected
- Numbers of data channel connected/disconnected

5) Protocol
- V5.2 protocol message count
- BCC, PSTN, control, link control, protection
- IP protocol message count

The statistics function is performed by MSDP, MDGC, and MSLC blocks.

MSDP block

The MSDP block provides the following functions:

(1) Analyzes and processes MMC command requested by the operator.

(2) Analyzes and displays statistics data collected from MDGC block by the operator’s request.

(3) Stores statistics data collected from MGGC block to the disk at the test interval
(5 minutes usually).

(4) Analyzes and displays statistics data stored in the disk.

(5) Calculates the sum of the 5-minute statistics data by hours, days, and months, and stores the
result in the disk.

(6) Delete the statistics data from the disk by the operator’s request.

MDGC block

The MDGC block collects statistics data from MSLC block at the test interval (5 minutes usually),
sends the result to MSDP block, and then clears the data remaining in the MSLC block.

MSLC block

The MSLC block is a set of procedures for statistics data processing. When the procedure is called by
the relevant block in each stage of call processing or when it is necessary to collect statistics data due
to fault occurrence, the statistics function is performed. In this case, the MSLC block increases the
related data values, which are cleared by MDGC block.

These functions are performed by PL block in MP.

PL block

Installed in MP, the PL block performs loading for user block when the loading request is created due
to start or restart.

The PL block applies check-sum for all important signals used for data transmission during loading
process. It checks the return values of OS primitives for signal transmission, to ensure the reliability
of transmitted data, and recovers errors if the data contains any errors.

2.3.6 MMI (Man Machine Interface) Function

MMI provides a means of communication between the system and the operator, and regulates I/O
formats, dialog procedure, and interactions between the system and the operator. In addition, it
provides various functions to facilitate system operation and addition of new requests
(add/change/delete I/O messages). As means of dialog, it provides various operation environments to
the operator such as direct command input, command input using menus and formats, and log
management. It also provides the interface with network management center. The MMI functions are
performed by CA, CFC, EC, HR, OC, and SHM blocks.

CA block

The CA block checks whether the operator is qualified to access the system, to provide the interface
path between the operator and the system, and decides the command session. When the dialog
procedure is established, it analyzes the syntax and meaning of the command input by the operator,
and informs the result to the operator and sends the command information to the corresponding block
to execute the command.

2.4.3 Fault Handling Function

The fault handling function includes subscriber fault handling, signaling device fault handling, and
V5.2 fault handling functions.

1) Subscriber fault handling

The subscriber fault handling refers to a series of functions to test/manage/report the status of
subscriber cards in TAM and those accommodated in TAM-CS1000 (RS Mode).The subscriber status
management is performed by FSH and AST blocks in interworking with V5.2 connection control and
V5.2 configuration protocol control functions.

FSH block

The FSH block manages the subscriber status using periodic monitoring result of subscriber card status,
detected hardware alarms, and detected hardware status information. Depending on the fault class of a
subscriber card, it decides whether to or not to isolate/recover the subscriber card out of service. When
a subscriber status is changed, it displays the status change information to the operator so that he or she
can take maintenance measures if necessary. For this, it performs MMC related functions in
interworking with V5.2 block, and reports the result to the operator. It also displays the current status
requested by the operator. It is interrelated with the V5.2 block through FSL block.

The FSH block handles and reports various hardware and software alarms and faults. It collects and
analyzes fault information generated by subscribers, to determine the corresponding fault class. It
provides the analysis result to the operator or uses it within the system, to provide guidelines to handle
the faults and prevent the fault from spreading. It also handles the operator’s request for message
output control. It detects all hardware and software alarms generated in each subsystem, to identify
alarm type, location, class and content and sends the alarm message to the operator. Based on this
alarm message, the operator takes prompt measures to recover normal status, to enhance overall
reliability of the system. See [Figure 2-39]

AST block

The AST block tests qualities and functions of analog subscriber devices such as analog subscriber
lines, analog subscriber line interface circuits, and analog subscriber terminals, for diagnosis and
maintenance purposes. It provides test function and test control function. It also provides on-demand
test functions such as instant test, general test, howler tone transmission test, idle line test, call test for
the subscriber being tested, telephone test, and test by line repair staff.

2) Signaling device fault handling

The signaling device fault handling refers to a series of functions to test signaling devices in TAM, so
as to detect and handle faults. It is performed by ADMH and FSH blocks along with the signaling
device status management, in interworking with the status management function block.

ADMH block

The ADMH block performs various tests using BER test device, including the test for each section of
the speech path. It also performs on-demand tests (MMC command = On-demand Test), and reports
the test result to FSH block for status management. If a fault occurs during a periodic test, it outputs
the corresponding fault message. If a fault occurs during an on-demand test, it displays the
corresponding test result.

SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

FSH block

The FSH block monitors signaling devices (subscriber lines, trunk lines, speech path, switches,
network sync., I/O, etc.) periodically, and manages the signaling device status using the monitoring
result, hardware alarm information, and hardware status information. Depending on the fault class of a
signaling device, the FSH block decides whether to or not to isolate/recover the signaling device out of
service. If the status of a signaling device is changed, it displays the changed status information to the
operator so that he or she can take maintenance measures if necessary.

The FSH block handles and reports various hardware and software alarms and faults. It collects and
analyzes hardware and software alarms generated by each subsystem, to drive audible and/or visible
alarms. It identifies alarm type, location, class and content and sends the alarm message to the operator.
Based on this alarm message, the operator takes prompt measures to recover normal status, to enhance
overall reliability of the system.

There are two types of alarms – those detected by software (called software alarms) and those detected
by hardware (called hardware alarms). For software alarms, the FSH block actively monitors each
block in processors of each subsystem using the threshold value of the block, and reports abnormal
status according to the threshold value. For hardware alarms, alarm interface control unit and MP
detect alarms by themselves and report them to the FSH block.

The FSH block analyzes the alarm report, decides its authenticity, and outputs alarm message for real
alarm status. It also enables the operator during operation to check the latest alarm history, alarm
generation status for each alarm class, and out-of-service alarm sources. It classifies alarms into three
classes (CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR) depending on their importance, and drives audible and/or
visible alarms, so that the operator can recognize the system status in real time. See [Figure 2-39].

3) V5.2 fault handling

The V5.2 fault handling refers to a series of functions to test/manage/report the status of service
resources in TAM such as V5.2 links and protocol handling block. It is performed by VPC and FSH
blocks along with the V5.2 status management, in interworking with the V5.2 connection control and
the V5.2 configuration protocol control function.

VPC block

The VPC block performs V5.2 status management in interworking with FSH block through FSL block.
It receives fault reports on subscribers and V5.2 link resources, stores their status, and performs
necessary functions such as protection switchover to prevent services from being interrupted. See
[Figure 2-26].

PAGE : 2-60 SM0-000-S00050(V1.0)


LG Electronics, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

FSH block

The FSH block monitors the status of V5.2 link resources and subscribers, and reports their status to
VPC block if any fault is found, so that the corresponding fault status can be stored and notified to LE
via V5.2 protocol. After that, it reports the fault status to the operator with MMC message. It transfers
MMC command to block/unblock a V5.2 device from the operator to the VPC block for corresponding
handling, and reports the result to the operator. See [Figure 2-39].

2.4.4 Audit Function

Audit refers to a function to maintain the integrity of system status by monitoring the status of service
resources in TAM such as subscribers, V5.2 links, signaling devices. The audit function is performed
by FSH block in interworking with the status handling and resource control function.

FSH block

The FSH block stores the status of all hardware devices and operating software and, if it is found
through periodic audit that the current device status and the stored status are inconsistent, it matches
the statuses to maintain consistent services. See [Figure .2-39].

2.4.5 System Sync Fault Handling Function

The system sync fault handling refers to a series of functions to test/manage/report the network sync
status. It is performed by FSH block along with the system sync status management function, in
interworking with the clock management function.

FSH block

FSH block receives the report on NES status change detected by self-diagnosis function of firmware
embedded in SCTM and the result of on-demand test, to identify the fault status and perform prompt
recovery measures. It also provides fault reports on power fail, PBA deletion, PLL error, CPU fail,
RTC fault, and output clock fault to FLM block.

In interworking with the alarm detection block, the FSH block manages and reports fault information
to the operator, displays alarm information, and handles alarm-related MMC commands. It receives
fault messages including hardware and software alarms, and stores the analyzed fault and alarm
information to database. It composes output alarm messages and drives corresponding audible and/or
visual alarms, to inform the operator on the alarm terminal. It provides the audit function for alarms,
and handles on-demand commands such as alarm isolation/recovery, alarm class change, and alarm
masking. See [Figure 2-39].

back, one set of 490-circuit IDC back frame and one set of 330-circuit IDC back frame can be
mounted.

(2) Each IDC back frame should be mounted depending on service wire type, and then IDC terminal
plate should be mounted additionally, securing space by the unit of100 circuits to help identify
circuits easily.

(3) As the service copper cables should be clustered on the IDC terminal plate mounted on the front
and back of the housing and the high-speed service wiring cables from the optical transmission
device are clustered on the IDC terminal plate mounted on the front part. The copper cables
should be clustered in consideration of post-clustering of high speed service distribution cables.

(4) The led-in feeder cables should be divided in consideration 10 lines of subscriber cables and 10
lines of trunk cables are clustered on an IDC terminal plate.

- For example, up to 62 IDC terminal plates can be mounted on the 620-line-accommodated IDC
back frame installed in the front of the cabinet. The number of IDC terminal plates which
accommodate the subscriber cables and the trunk cables, and those for high-speed service
distribution cables of the optical transmission equipment are summed up in this number.

- From the 620-line-accommodated IDC back frame, 520 lines (52 IDC terminal plates) should be
clustered for subscriber cables and trunk cables, and the remaining 100 lines (10 IDC terminal
plates to which the grounding bars are added) should be clustered in the optical transmission
equipment for high-speed service distribution cables.

- Therefore, the 620-line-accommodated IDC back frame accommodates 520 subscriber cables,
520 trunk cables and 100 high-speed service distribution cables.

3.4.2 Connecting Ground Cable

(1) 2 hole lugs should be adopted in the grounding terminal plate.

Chapter 2 TAM Architecture and Configuration

3.4.3 Main Power Supply

(1) Because the power supply for the housing should be led in through the bottom of the outdoor
housing, the cable path should have been secured when the base is installed.

(2) The is a support for a watt-hour meter inside the housing, and a window for meter reading on the
back of the housing. The watt-hour meter may be installed outside of the housing depending on
the site conditions.

(3) Since the power consumed in a housing is about 1.5KW, the power supply to the housing should
be 1p, 220V and 3KW, which are subject to change depending on the site conditions.

3.4.4 Installing Power Distribution Panel (PDP)

PDP is the equipment which distributes the main AC from power supply and the DC from the rectifier.
PDP is equipped with a breaker.

3.4.5 Installing Battery

(1) Before applying the system, make sure to understand the features of the lead acid batteries of the
sealed maintenance free type which is designed for communication only (Telecom Charge : TC
Battery Series).

(2) Installation guide

- Install a stand enduring against vibration in a safe space without risk of short-circuit and electric
shock, and connect the cable in series to the correct polarity in consideration of maximum
current. The circuits should be arranged correctly between the batteries.

- Fastening nuts : Mount the cable connector on the terminal with nuts. Nuts should be tightened
with the fastening strength of not higher than 15Nm.

3.5 Maintenance

3.5.1 Maintenance of Housing

(1) Maintain the level of the base surface in ±3mm. Leveling of surface will prevent distortion of
housing, fan noise and deformation of exterior.

(2) Do not give excessive force on the roof. (Do not pile up housings.)

(3) When moving a housing, replace the sus bolts with the eye bolts, and use a forklift or crane. Make
sure to fasten the bolts tight with a spanner or a supplementary tool.

(4) Front/rear side of a housing are identified with metering window. The front side has a metering
window, while the rear side has no metering window.

(5) Doors are classified into a system door and an IDC door. The system door is larger than the IDC
door.

(6) In order to open the doors, open the IDC door using a handle, and turn the latch, and then, open
the system door. The door can be open at 105 degree. Do not give excessive force to open the
door wide, or the stopper on the bottom may be detached or broken. In order to close the doors,
follow the above steps in reverse order.

(7) In order to operate the door handle, insert the key on front/rear side, turn the handle
counterclockwise, and pull the door. The direction is indicated on the sticker on the upper side of
the handle.

(8) The door handle has a locking cylinder built-in, that it can be opened with the key only. Unless
there is an extreme impact, the door provides a superior security. Lock the key, and press down
the handle until you hear a click. The hinges can sufficiently support the door as they hold the
door in 3 points. However, excessive force applied down to the door may cause dislocation of the
door or distortion of the hinges.

(9) Make sure that the door part which meets the waterproof gasket is not stained with a foreign
substance. The gasket should not be torn or damaged. The gasket can be easily inserted and
removed.

(10) The heat exchanger is on the top of the rack. The exchanger should be checked at least once in
two years. Interior cleaning and maintenance must be performed by the authorized engineer only.
Make sure to cut the power before repairing the housing. Check from time to time if a
contaminant is created by the environmental cause.

(11) The operator must check the PDP, the optical distribution unit and the grounding unit against the
rest elements including power down, electric leakage and natural disaster.

(12) Because the housing is designed to accommodate the racks of 26” in width and 660mm in length,
check the specifications for installation and replacement.

(13) The battery box is designed in the slide type to facilitate replacement of the batteries. Batteries
should be replaced based on the battery wiring diagram. To open the battery box, remove the 4
bolts from the handle and pull the box. The sliding distance is 500~530mm. Applying excessive
force to pull the box may have the balls off from the slide. Pull the handle on the roof of the box

to see the connection of the batteries. To close the battery box, follow the above in reverse order.
After finishing installation, fix the rack to the housing with bolts to avoid interference to the door.
The battery should be of the sealed maintenance free type. If a leakage is found, replace the
battery immediately. (Gas and corrosion may occur.)

(14) Optical distribution box (O.F.D.) is used for clustering of optical cables. Like the battery box, the
optical distribution box is designed in the slide type. To open the box, turn the two captive screws
counterclockwise, and then, lift up and pull the slide. The optical distribution box slide is in 3
units, and is slided out for 320~350mm from the rear side.

(15) The system, rectifier and the battery are to be selected by the user, but via advance consultation
with the manufacturer of the outdoor housing.

(16) The electric outlet is located between the system and the IDC. To use the electric outlet, turn on
the outlet S/W of the PDP. The outlet has two 220V holes.

(17) Lamps are in the front and rear part of the system unit. The power S/W should be always on so
that the system can operate at any time. To replace the lamp, turn the captive screw on the front of
the housing counterclockwise, open the cover down, and replace the stabilizer-embedded lamp
(15~25W).

(18) The heater is inside the heat exchanger. It is recommended that you should use the heater from
mid November to mid March. To use the heater, turn on the AC heater S/W in PDP.

(19) The reflection board on the top of the housing not only blocks UV rays and radiant heat from the
sun, but also conducts heat equally in the housing. Therefore, be careful that the reflection board
should not be stained from the cable insertion cream.

(20) The IDC stand must be strong enough to hold the MDF module and the lightening arrestor
module. The MDF module should be installed from the upper part, and should not be installed in
the lower part if possible. This is to protect the module from interference of door stopper or wires
on the lower part of the housing.

(21) Fix the main and signal grounding cables on the 2 holes of the lug to prevent defective grounding.

(22) After connecting the copper cables, strip the base cover, fix the cable tight to the waterproof
javara with stainless band, and apply sealant in between the copper cable and the waterproof
javara inside the housing.

(23) Sidewalls, doors and the roof of the housing are made of steel and electric-zinc plated, and then
spray-coated to prevent corrosion. Because corrosion is started if the housing is scratched by
external impact, apply coating material and alcohol at the ratio of 1:4 to avoid progress of
corrosion. The housing is made of aluminum except the above mentioned parts. The coating
material applied on the scratch shall conform to the SP’s technical request or specifications.

(24) The user shall request Korea Electric Power Corporation for power supply work (main and circuit
breaker).

Figure 1.
- Connect 4 x 12V batteries in series.
- Connect the battery lines to the battery terminals with correct polarity markings (+ and -).

<Battery Wiring Diagram>

(3) Wiring of output cable

- The output of the battery consists of 3 terminals (SH1~2, FAN1).


- Shelves 1, 2 and FAN1 can be used when NFB of Output1 on the front of the system is “ON”.
- Check the polarity of GND and -48V terminal of each port before connecting output cables.
(4) Wiring of BATT.TEMP. SENSOR : BATT.TEMP.(1m) SENSOR line should be connected to the
BATT.TEMP.Connector of the backboard of the rectifier via the bracket.(5) Alarm communication
port

- Use 4 stack z-pack connectors and 9P D-Sub cable to connect between the system and the rectifier.
- Check the RS-232C communication port after connecting 9P D-SUB connector to the PC. (Use the
RS-232C port on the rear part of the shelf to connect between PC and the control panel.)(6) Wiring
other units
