The N2000 BMS provides sufficient authentication management modes, thus meeting
different operation and maintenance requirements. When a user performs an operation, the
system restricts this operation according to the rights to the devices, and then according to the
rights to the operations. After a user passes the authentication and logs in, the menus for the
unauthorized operations are unavailable for the user. In addition, the devices that the user are
not authorized to operate are shielded from the management interface.
Software Upgrading
The control board and service board of the MA5606T support in-service upgrading in addition
to the version rollback operation in case of an upgrade failure. You can upgrade the software
through any of the following methods:

A serial port based on Xmodem

An Ethernet port based on Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Secure File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Performance Measurement
The MA5606T can collect, query, and analyze the performance data of the VDSL2 services.

4.1 FTTC Application
This topic provides information about the FTTC application of the MA5606T.
Service Description
The MA5606T provides the broadband access service.

In the downstream direction, the MA5606T provides a high-speed Internet access for
subscribers in remote areas.

In the upstream direction, the MA5606T connects to a BRAS on the convergence layer
through its GE optical port. The BRAS then authenticates the users.

4.2 QinQ Application
This topic describes the QinQ application of the MA5606T.
Service Description
The 802.1q in 802.1q (QinQ) application supports allocation of public VLAN IDs to user
packets that have VLAN tags so that the packets can be transmitted in the backbone network
using the public VLAN IDs. In this way, public VLAN ID resources are greatly saved, and the
P2P interconnection between private line users across the MAN is facilitated.

Network Description
In the QinQ application, the user packets transmitted in the backbone network have two layers
of VLAN tags: a public VLAN tag and a private VLAN tag.

On the user side

The enterprise users are connected to the MA5606T through the modem and the traffic is
delivered in the VLAN mode. The users of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are connected to the
MA5606T. The MA5606T allocates a public VLAN ID (VLAN 3 with the QinQ
attribute) to the packets, and forwards the packets to the upper layer network.

On the network side

In the backbone network, the packets are transmitted based on the public VLAN ID.
After the packets reach the MA5606T on the other side of the backbone network, the
MA5606T removes the public VLAN tag from the packets, and passes the packets to the
user side device.
In the QinQ application, the transparent transmission of the private VLAN in the public
network is supported. A simple two-layer virtual private network (VPN) channel is provided
to realize the function of transparent transmission of private VLANs and services to the peer
end and to expand the private network.

4.3 VLAN Stacking Application
This topic describes the VLAN stacking application of the MA5606T.
Service Description
The MA5606T supports VLAN stacking to realize VLAN extension and multi-ISP wholesale
service.

VLAN extension: This is used to increase the number of VLANs and identify users.

Multi-ISP wholesale service: The upper layer network works in L2 working mode and
the packets are directly transmitted based on the VLAN and the MAC address.
VLAN stacking is similar to QinQ in implementation, but the user packet of VLAN stacking
is encapsulated with two VLAN tags and the user packet of QinQ is encapsulated with one
VLAN tag.

Network Description
In the VLAN stacking application, the BRAS must authenticate both layers of VLAN tags.
When a packet reaches the OLT, it is tagged with two VLAN tags (outer VLAN and inner
VLAN), and then transmitted to the associated ISP based on the outer VLAN tag. The user is
identified by the inner VLAN tag.
The VLAN stacking application ensures that the VLANs can be reused, and realizes the
multi-IPS wholesale service.

4.4 Triple Play Application
This topic describes the triple play application of the MA5606T.
Service Description
The MA5606T can provide voice, data, and video services for terminal subscribers
simultaneously with appropriate QoS. Such a scenario is called triple play.
The MA5606T supports the multi-PVC triple play and single-PVC triple play solutions, and
the multi-GEM port triple play and single-GEM port triple play solutions.

Multi-PVC triple play solution

Different PVCs bear different traffic streams.

The MA5606T supports mapping of different PVCs to different service VLANs, and
adding different 802.1p priority tags to the VLANs.

In this solution, a home gateway must provide multiple Ethernet ports and support
binding between the Ethernet port and the PVC.

Single-PVC triple play solution

It supports differentiation and control of the traffic stream based on the following
attributes of the user side packets:
Ethernet network type
VLAN ID
802.1p domain

In this solution, it is unnecessary to re-configure the existing home gateway, which saves
the PVC resources.
Network Topology

Network Description

Voice service
The VoIP packets are transmitted to the MA5606T through the home gateway, and then to
the .

Data service
The data packets from PCs are transmitted to the MA5606T through the home gateway, and
then to the IP network in the upstream direction after they are processed by the BRAS.

Video service
The video service traffic is delivered over IP multicast traffic, providing users with
various programs.
The IGMP proxy control packets are sent to the upstream multicast server by the
MA5606T, thus realizing management on the multicast users and programs.
The video service traffic is sent to the MA5606T by the multicast server. The
MA5606T forwards the traffic transparently to the multicast user terminals.
At the user end, the set top box (STB) terminates the video signals, performs media
conversion, and controls the program switching.
The triple play solution enables simultaneous multi-service access on the same user terminal.

5.3.4 Typical Networking Modes
This topic describes the typical networking modes of the N2000 BMS and the MA5606T.
Overview
The N2000 BMS can form a network with the MA5606T through the following:

Inband channels

Outband channels
Because both the inband and outband modes have their respective advantages and
disadvantages, these two modes are usually combined in actual applications.
Inband Mode

Inband mode refers to a networking mode for network device management that is
implemented through the service channel provided by the managed devices. In this mode, the
network management interaction information is delivered over the service channel provided
by the managed device.
Figure 5-2 shows the EMS networking in the inband mode.

The advantages of the inband networking are as follows:

Flexible networking

Cost-effective, because no additional device is required
The disadvantage of the inband networking is that maintenance tasks cannot be carried out
when the service channel fails.
Outband Mode

The outband mode refers to a networking mode for network device management that is
implemented through other channels, and not through the service channel. In this mode, the
management channel is independent of the service channel.
Figure 5-3 shows the EMS networking in the outband mode.

The advantages of the outband networking are as follows:

Channels for device management are more reliable than those in the inband mode.

The N2000 BMS can timely locate the fault in a managed device, and monitor the
managed device in real time.
The disadvantage of the outband networking is that additional devices are required to provide
maintenance channels that are independent of service channels.
