The Feature of Huawei MA5600

With the growing requirements for telecom services, the access network (AN) must
provide integrated services with large capacity, high rate, and high quality (including data,
video, voice, and multimedia). To meet these requirements, uawei has launched the
!martA" #A$%&& #ulti'service Access #odule.
The MA5600 has the following orientations:
As an () digital su*scri*er line access multiple+er (,!-A#), it supports non'*locking
giga*it .thernet (/.) switching fa*ric to suit the high rate requirements of the *road*and
telecom network.
As a multi'service access module, it provides integrated service access to address the
diversified service requirements of telecom su*scri*ers.
As a ne+t generation network (N/N) solution, it provides ensured quality of service (0o!)
to *e ready for evolving to the ne+t generation network.

% Fle&ible !etwor$ing
As a multi'service access platform, the #A$%&& supports multiple access modes and
networking modes to suit various networking scenarios in different environments and to
meet different service requirements.
The MA5600 provides the following networ$ing solutions:
'roadband "ulti(servi)e a))ess solution
The #A$%&& supports the +,!- access solution. (n addition, the #A$%&&
supports su*tending networking configurations through the .thernet ports.
Triple play solution
Triple play su*scri*ers, including )))o. su*scri*ers, 7o() su*scri*ers, and
video su*scri*ers, are connected to the #A$%&& through the home gateway. After
processing the service packets from these su*scri*ers, the #A$%&& transmits the
packets to the upper layer device.
1or terminals using the asynchronous transfer mode (AT#), such as an A,!-45
terminal, the #A$%&& supports single:permanent virtual connection (single')73)
and multi')73 to implement the triple play networking configuration. 1or
terminals using the packet transfer mode ()T#), such as a 7,!-4 terminal, the
#A$%&& also supports 7-AN *ased triple play networking configuration.
Private line inter)onne)tion solution
The #A$%&& provides private line interconnection services for enterprise
su*scri*ers. .nterprise su*scri*ers are connected to the #A$%&& in the
3
A,!-459!,!-97,!-4 mode. The private line interconnection can provide the
transparent transmission of the private 7-AN and services to the peer end.
* +perable ,PT- .ervi)es

/ 0yna"i) 1ine +pti"i2ation Fun)tion
The #A$%&& works with the N4$8& line assurance system (N4$8& for short) to
implement the dynamic line management (,-#) functions. The N4$8& optimiBes the line
profile of the #A$%&& through the optimiBation profile. (n this way, the line is dynamically
optimiBed.
NAT.2
The N4$8& is developed *y uawei and is intended for the line test and 0o! guarantee
for the copper ca*les of operators. The N4$8& guarantees line services and locates line
faults when it is functioning. (t also provides e+cellent line management solutions, meets
the line analysis and management requirements of operators, and reduces the operation
e+penditure (A).").
'y wor$ing with the !%5103 the MA5600 i"ple"ents the following fun)tions:
0uickly diagnoses and analyBes the digital su*scri*er line (,!-) network
conditions and rectifies the fault.
