The HotWire 8600 DSLAM consists of the following components:
HotWire 8600 DSLAM base chassis
HotWire 8600 DSLAM is a three-slot chassis designed to house one
Management Communications Controller (MCC) card in the first slot and up
to two DSL cards in the remaining slots. Since the MCC card in the
8600 system can provide management connectivity for up to five other
8600 DSLAMs, these other systems can use the first slot for a DSL card, thus
housing up to three DSL cards.
One Management Communications Controller (MCC) card
The HotWire 8600 DSLAM requires one MCC card mounted in Slot 1 of the
base, or first, chassis in a stack. The MCC card is a processor card that
administers and provides diagnostic connectivity to DSL cards in from one to
six 8600 DSLAMs. It acts as a mid-level manager and works in conjunction
with an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenView, via its
LAN port. It gathers operational status for each of the DSL cards and
responds to the SNMP requests. It also supports a serial port for local
terminal access.
At least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) card
The 8600 DSLAM requires at least one DSL card. Each DSL card contains
four DSL ports, Ethernet interface circuitry, and a processor. The processor
controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet
and DSL interfaces.
NOTE:
You must order the MCC and DSL cards separately. They are not provided
with the chassis.
