Power Redundancy
AC and DC Powered Models
Two versions of the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis are available:
— AC power
The AC version will operate from 100 to 240 volts AC (nominal), 50 to
60 Hz. It can also be connected to a DC source to provide power
redundancy.
— DC power
The DC version requires a source of 48 VDC. When using the DC version,
two separate DC sources may be employed to provide power redundancy.
If one power source fails, the other source provides all of the power
needed by the system. This is done automatically without system
disruption.
Stackable Chassis for DSL Access Growth
Each chassis is an independent, standalone system. However, the chassis
can be combined in a stack for more efficient operation. The 8610 and 8600
chassis are interoperable in a stack. The stackable design provides for six
systems to share management access through a single MCP card (for 8610)
or MCC card (for 8600) which, in turn, allows an additional slot for a DSL card
in each of up to five additional systems. In a stacked configuration, the first or
base chassis is equipped with an MCP/MCC card in Slot 1 leaving Slots 2 and
3 available for up to two DSL cards.
Each additional system will accept up to three DSL cards.
A Hotwire 8610 or 8600 DSLAM chassis can be added or removed from the
stack without disrupting data service to the other items in the stack. However,
management service will be disrupted.
The base system is connected to additional systems by connecting the 8-pin
modular expansion cable provided from the OUT port of the base chassis to
the IN port of the next chassis in the stack.
Hot Swappable Cards
The MCP and DSL cards can be installed and removed from the Hotwire 8610
DSLAM chassis without service disruption. You can replace a card without
powering down the chassis and disrupting service to the other cards.
Primary Network Management Support via SNMP
SNMP management of the DSL cards is accomplished over a single Ethernet
connection to the MCP card from a Network Management System (NMS)
(such as Paradyne's OpenLane). The MCP card gathers all management
information for each of the DSL cards and responds to the SNMP requests on
behalf of the cards.
