DSLAM

Digital Subscriber Access Multiplexer

 Definition
A DSLAM is a Network Device, usually placed at a Telephone Company
Central Office, That Receives Signals from multiple customer of DSL
Connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line using
Multiplexing Techniques.
DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL lines with some combination of
Asynchronous Transfer mode (ATM), Frame Relay, or Internet Protocol
Networks.
DSLAM enables a phone company to offer business or home users the
fastest Phone Line Technology (DSL) with the fastest backbone Network
Technology (ATM).

 ATM & IP

• Technology Adopted by DSLAM equipment including: ATM and IP

• ATM uplink rate --155Mbit/s

• IP uplink rate--100Mbits/s,1000Mbits/s (Ethernet)

 Differences between
ATM DSLAM and IP DSLAM

• ATM DSLAM: uplink ATM / Ethernet switch or BAS

• IP DSLAM: uplink Ethernet switch or BAS

• ATM DSLAM : ATM cell ended on uplink board(if ip uplink)

• IP DSLAM: ATM cell ended on subscriber board

• ATM DSLAM: internal switch based on ATM

• IP DSLAM: internal switch based on IP

 Backplane of DSLAM

• Subscriber shelf supports three backplanes:

• MDCA: Supports broad/narrow-band integrated service access
Mechanical support for all cards and works with the control and switch card

• MDCE: Supports pure broadband service access

• MDCF: Backplane works with the control and switch card to supports larger bandwidth, each
slot’s bandwidth reaching up to 4 GE. Provides two 10G interface uplink slots.

• Splitter shelf supports only one backplane e.g. MTAN.

 CSC Board Feature
• The CSC board resides in slot 9 and 11.The CSC board cannot reside in
other slots.
• Height: 9U
• Core of switching and controlling for the system, providing a series of
ports and powerful switching capability on the backplane.
• DSLAM can be configured with one single CSC card or dual active/standby
CSC cards. When the active and standby CSC cards are running, the
standby CSC card performs hot backup for the active CSC card.
 ATNG CARD Feature

Implementing the conversion between the ATM and the Ethernet

Provide 32 lines of ADSL access for subscribers. The subscriber data

are transferred through PSTN networks.

Built-in splitter

Provide LED indicator, 32 link LED indicators, sockets, and

reset button
