RADSL, ReachDSL, IDSL, SDSL, ADSL, and SHDSL cards are generically
referred to as line cards in this document.
Table 1-1 shows which line cards can be used with the different SCP card, MCP,
and SCM configurations.
8620 BAC Features
The 8620 BAC has the following features:
„
AC and DC Powered Models
Two versions of the 8620 BAC are available:
— AC powered. 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 powered. 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.
„
Hot-Swappable Cards
The MCP and line cards can be installed and removed from the 8620 BAC
without service disruption. You can replace these cards without powering
down the chassis and disrupting service to the other cards. Removing the
SCM or SCP card disrupts traffic on line cards.
„
Primary Network Management Support via SNMP
SNMP management of the line cards is accomplished over a single external
Ethernet or inband management 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 line cards and responds to
the SNMP requests on behalf of the cards.
