Networking Reliability Design

l
The MA5600T supports backup of uplinks in the following two ways:
Backup of uplinks in a board

Uplinks are from the same upstream interface board and work in the load sharing mode.
If one of the links fails, the traffic stream on this uplink is transferred to the other normal
uplink.
In this way, all uplinks mutually back up each other. However, when the upstream
interface board fails, all the uplinks fail.
Backup of uplinks between boards

Uplinks are from different upstream interface boards and work in the load sharing mode.
If one of the links fails, the traffic stream on this uplink is transferred to the other normal
uplink.
In this way, all uplinks mutually back up each other. When an upstream interface board
fails, the traffic stream on this board is transferred to the other upstream interface board.
The MA5600T supports the uplink protection.

When a service outage occurs because of the physical disconnection with the device at the
upper layer, the MA5600T automatically transfers the traffic stream to the secondary link.
Thus, the MA5600T recovers the service rapidly.
Protection of uplinks in a board

Uplinks start from the same upstream interface board and work in the non-load sharing
mode. If one of the links fails, the traffic stream on this uplink is transferred to the other
normal uplink.
In this way, all uplinks are protected. However, when the upstream interface board fails,
all the uplinks fail.
Protection of uplinks between boards

Uplinks are links that start from different upstream interface boards and work in the
non-load sharing mode. If one of the links fails, the traffic stream on this uplink is
transferred to the other normal uplink.
In this way, all uplinks are protected. When an upstream interface board fails, the traffic
stream on this board is transferred to the other upstream interface board.

Product Description
Various Maintenance Means

l
The MA5600T can be maintained remotely through the secure SSH command line or the
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) network management system.
For remote maintenance, inband mode and outband mode are supported.
The MA5600T supports management based on SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 through
the iManager N2000 BMS Network Management System (hereafter referred to as the
N2000 BMS).
The MA5600T supports Ethernet operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) based
on IEEE P802.1ag. This enables detection and diagnosis of faults in an Ethernet network,
thus reducing the cost of the network maintenance.
The MA5600T supports the following:
In-service reporting of the hardware and software versions
Real-time in-service upgrading and loading of the board software and host software
Real-time in-service loading and management of software patches
The MA5600T supports the loopback function, which helps to quickly isolate the area
where a network fault occurs, thus improving the fault diagnosis efficiency and reducing
the maintenance costs. The following five loopback functions are supported:
OLT local external loopback
OLT remote internal loopback
ONT local external loopback
ONT local internal loopback
ONT remote external loopback
The MA5600T supports auto loading and upgrading for the environment monitoring board
and the fan monitoring board, thus lowering the manpower input for engineering and
maintenance.
Terminal Management
l
The MA5600T supports management of the ONTs based on the ONT Management and
Control Interface (OMCI) protocol, including VLAN configuration and port attribute
configuration of the ONTs.
The ONTs can be configured offline on the OLT, and the ONT configuration data can be
saved on the OLT. In this way, when an ONT registers with the OLT, the configuration
data of the ONT can be automatically restored. This facilitates the service provisioning.
The MA5600T supports the embedded operations channel (EOC) terminal management
function for obtaining the directory information on the CPE side.
Abundant Management Interfaces

The N2000 BMS provides various southbound interfaces such as the Telnet and SNMP interfaces
for NE management. In addition, it provides standardized SNMP and TL1 northbound interfaces
for the OSS and the management system at the network layer to realize the management of
alarms, topologies, services, resources and tests. In this way, the N2000 BMS enables the carriers
to build an integrated and automated OSS platform at the network layer.
Security Authentication Management

The N2000 BMS provides sufficient authentication management modes, thus meeting different
operation and maintenance requirements. When a user performs an operation, the system restricts

operations. After a user passes the authentication and logs in, the menus for the unauthorized
operations are unavailable for the user. In addition, the devices that the user are not authorized
to operate are shielded from the management interface.
Environment Monitoring
The MA5600T provides an environment monitoring port. The port connects to the environment
monitoring module through a special cable. In this way, the data related to the environment, such
as temperature, humidity, power supply voltage, and smoke an be collected. This helps to realize
remote or unattended maintenance.

Product Description
Network Description
l
Voice service
After passing the ONT, the VoIP packets reach the MA5600T. The MA5600T then
transmits the packets .
Data service
The PCs are connected to the MA5600T through the ONTs. The PCs are then connected
to the IP network through the BRAS.
Video service
The video traffic is sent to the ONTs in the IPTV or cable television (CATV) mode.
IPTV
In the IPTV mode, the video service is delivered over IP multicast traffic, supplying
users with various programs.
The MA5600T manages the multicast user rights and programs based on IGMP proxy
and controllable multicast. After the users have passed the authentication, the
MA5600T transmits the IGMP protocol packets to the device at the aggregation layer.
The multicast server transmits the video traffic to the MA5600T through the backbone
network and the convergence network. The MA5600T forwards the traffic to the user
terminals based on the authentication results.
At the user end, the STB terminates video signals, performs media conversion, and
controls program switching.
CATV
In the CATV mode, traditional analogue signals of TV programs are transmitted over
the cables.
Through the electrical-to-optical conversion, video streams are converted into
downstream optical waves, and then superposed with downstream optical waves of the
GPON in the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mode. The superposed waves
are transmitted to the ONT in the downstream direction through an optical fiber. Then
the ONT separates the video signals from the waves, and sends the signals to the TV.
In this way, the video service is realized.
4.2 FTTB Network Application

This topic describes the fiber to the building (FTTB) network application of the MA5600T.
Service Description
The MA5600T supports the FTTB network application. In this application, the MA5600T
connects with ONU in the downstream direction to provide high-bandwidth broadband access
services including voice, data, and video services to buildings where twisted pairs have been
deployed.
In an FTTB network architecture, the ONU is installed inside a building, and it provides services
to the users through twisted pairs.
The FTTB network architecture is suitable for the dense apartments and small enterprise and

Issue 04 (2009-05-08)

Product Description
The MA5600T connects to the MA5606Ts in the downstream direction to provide services
to more users.
The LAN switch is in a tree topology. The LAN switch works independently without mutual
interference. The bandwidth can be flexibly allocated according to the number of users
connected to a LAN switch.
Compared with the digital subscriber line (DSL) network, the FTTB network has the following
advantages:
l
Higher bandwidth and longer transmission distance

In DSL access, the transmission rate is limited by the length of the twisted pair.
Saving investment
The FTTB network is an integration of the FTTH network and the DSL network. For an
FTTB solution, the optical fiber is used for long-reach transmission and the twisted pair is
used for short-reach transmission. This reduces the cost of network investment for carriers.
Good compatibility
The FTTB network is compatible with the existing DSL network.
4.3 TDM Private Line Network Application

This topic describes the TDM private line network application of the MA5600T.
Service Description

Product Description
Network Description
In the QinQ application, the user packets transmitted in the backbone network have two layers
of VLAN tags: a public VLAN tag and a private VLAN tag.
l
On the user side

The enterprise users are connected to the MA5600T through the ONU and the traffic is
delivered in the VLAN mode. The users of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are connected to the
MA5600T. The MA5600T allocates a public VLAN ID (VLAN 3 with the QinQ attribute)
to the packets, and forwards the packets to the upper layer network.
On the network side

In the backbone network, the packets are transmitted based on the public VLAN ID. After
the packets reach the MA5600T on the other side of the backbone network, the
MA5600T removes the public VLAN tag from the packets, and passes the packets to the
user side device.
In the QinQ application, the transparent transmission of the private VLAN in the public network
is supported. A simple two-layer virtual private network (VPN) channel is provided to realize
the function of transparent transmission of private VLANs and services to the peer end and to
expand the private network.
4.5 VLAN Stacking Application

This topic describes the VLAN stacking application of the MA5600T.
Service Description
The MA5600T supports VLAN stacking to realize VLAN extension and multi-ISP wholesale
service.
l
VLAN extension: This is used to increase the number of VLANs and identify users.
Multi-ISP wholesale service: The upper layer network works in L2 working mode and the
packets are directly transmitted based on the VLAN and the MAC address.
VLAN stacking is similar to QinQ in implementation, but the user packet of VLAN stacking is
encapsulated with two VLAN tags and the user packet of QinQ is encapsulated with one VLAN
tag.

The data packets from PCs are transmitted to the MA5600T through the ONT, and then to
the IP network in the upstream direction after they are processed by the BRAS.
Video service
Issue 04 (2009-05-08)
The video service is delivered over IP multicast traffic, providing users with various
programs.
4-9

Product Description
The MA5600T manages the multicast user rights and programs based on IGMP proxy
and controllable multicast. After the users have passed the authentication, the
MA5600T transmits the IGMP protocol packets to the multicast server.
The multicast server transmits the video service traffic to the MA5600T through the
backbone network and the convergence network. The MA5600T forwards the traffic to
the user terminals based on the authentication results.
At the user end, the set top box (STB) is used to terminate video signals, performs media
conversion, and control program switching.
The triple play solution enables simultaneous multi-service access on the same user terminal.
4.7 P2P FE Optical Access Application

This topic describes the P2P FE optical access application of the MA5600T.

4.8 Mobile Bearer Network Application

This topic describes the mobile bearer network application of the MA5600T.
Service Description
To address the growing number of mobile users and increasing demand for the mobile data and
video services, 3G mobile stations need to be increased to provide high bandwidth.
Issue 04 (2009-05-08)

4-11

Product Description
Compared with the SDH/ATM private line technologies, the IP return transmission technology
not only offers an easy return transmission solution for base stations, but also helps to greatly
save the cost for base station return transmission.
In the mobile bearer network application, the IP-based return transmission technology is adopted
as a replacement of the TDM-based or ATM-based return transmission technology to realize
integration of fixed and mobile networks at the bearer layer. In this way, the need to maintain
only one network helps to reduce the CapEx and OpEx, thus facilitating evolution to an all-IP
network.

Product Description
Network Description
The mobile bearer network application features the following:
l
The base station adopts distributed mode, and provides IP ports and E1 ports.
The base station adopts distributed mode. The voice service is sent upstream through
the E1 ports, and the data service is sent upstream through the IP ports.
The voice service requires small bandwidth, so usually only one or two E1 ports are
required. The data service requires high bandwidth. Hence, the base station adopts IP
ports for data service transmission, thus improving the bandwidth utilization for the
upstream data service.
The IP ports support data access.
The E1 ports provided by the base station support return transmission through PWE3.
For the large number of legacy base stations and the base stations that are presently
under construction, IP uplink connection is not adopted, and only E1 ports are used. For
the base stations in the distributed mode, the voice service is still sent upstream through
the E1 ports.
The E1 ports must support PWE3 to facilitate service bearing over an IP network.
The MA5600T obtains the clock information from the BITS, and sends the clock information
to the downstream mobile base stations through the modem. In this way, clock synchronization
is maintained between the base station, the BSC and the RNC, thus ensuring that the end users
are not affected during a service switchover between the base stations.

Outband Mode
The outband mode refers to a networking mode for network device management that is
implemented through other channels, and not through the service channel. In this mode, the
management channel is independent of the service channel.
Figure 5-3 shows the EMS networking in the outband mode.

The advantages of the outband networking are as follows:

l
Channels for device management are more reliable than those in the inband mode.
The N2000 BMS can timely locate the fault in a managed device, and monitor the managed
device in real time.
The disadvantage of the outband networking is that additional devices are required to provide
maintenance channels that are independent of service channels.
