Configuring UTStarcom DSL Equipment
The UTStarcom DSLAM AN-2000 B820 consists of a chassis capable of holding up to 16 ADSL line cards. These line cards support ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ residential gateways (RGs). Each ADSL line card has 24 ADSL ports that can be used to connect to 24 RGs. Each line card must be configured separately.
In addition to the ADSL cards, the chassis also contains an ICM3 controller card, which controls the GE trunk ports as well as global chassis parameters, such as QoS and VLAN definitions.
A network management application, called Netman 4000, is used to configure the ICM3 and the ADSL line cards.
This chapter presents key details of configuring the UTStarcom DSL equipment as used in the solution, and presents the following topics:
•
Provisioning the Netman 4000 Application to Manage the DSLAM
• Configuring the ICM3 Ethernet Interface Line Card
• Configuring the PCU Card on the DSLAM
• Configuring the ADSL Profiles
• Configuring the IPADSL3A Line Cards

Tip After the RG has trained, do the following to see the actual upstream and downstream bandwidths for that ADSL line: Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot 1 > ADSL Port, and click the Port tab. ADSL ports and their status are displayed.
Note Both the ADSL and ADSL2+ ADSL line profile use Automode. This means the RG runs in its native mode, whether it is ADSL or ADSL2+.
Note The default ADSL Profile applied by the DSLAM works with most CPEs, but it will run at lower upstream and downstream bandwidths than the ADSL2 configuration described above. The default profile, Adslprof_def, can support the maximum downstream rate of 8064 kbps and the maximum upstream rate of 864 kbps. This rate is only adequate enough to support one STB. If two STBs are to be supported, the ADSL2 or ADSL2+ profile should be selected for the ADSL Line Profile.

Configuring and Activating the ADSL Ports
ASDL2, and ADSL2+ line profiles must be created before they can be assigned to an ADSL line. (See Creating an ADSL2+ Profile, and Creating an ADSL2 Profile.) The profile adslprof_def has default values and is always available. It works well with one STB, but does not allow enough bandwidth to support two broadcast video streams.
Do the following to configure and activate the ADSL ports.
Step 1 Attach a configured RG to the ADSL line. (For an RG configuration, see Configuring Ericsson DSL Equipment.)
Step 2 Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1:IPADSL Port, and click the ADSL Port tab.
Step 3 Click Assign Profile (bottom of screen).
Step 4 From the menu, choose Profile ADSL2 for the Ericsson 340dp RG, or ADSL2+ for the Linksys WAG54GP2 RG or another ADSL2+ RG.
Step 5 Click OK.
Note ADSL line configuration cannot be changed unless the port is locked (deactivated). After changes are made, the port needs to be unlocked in order to activate it.
Step 6 Click the ADSL line again to highlight it, then click to unlock and activate the port.
Note The DSL or Link light on the ADSL RG should light up and stay on. Also, the Port LED on the IPADSL3A card should light up, to show that the line is active. To see the downstream and upstream bit rates once the port is activated, choose the ADSL Port menu.
Configuring ATM PVCs and Assigning Them to ADSL Ports
You need to create three permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and assign to them to ADSL ports (DSL lines). A PVC pair must be created for each service: voice, video, and data.

Note You can enter any string for the port label. The port label is used by the DHCP server to identify the port and user uniquely.
Step 6 Click Apply.
Step 7 Choose the next port, then proceed as in Step 2 through Step 6.
Step 8 Repeat Step 7 for each port.
Step 9 Click the Configuration tab and choose Save from the drop-down menu.
Creating VLAN-to-PVC Mappings for Voice, Video, and Data
Each VLAN that enters the DSLAM through the GE trunk ports must be mapped to a PVC in order for the data to be sent over the ADSL port to the RG. Conversely, PVCs that carry voice, video, and data traffic from the RG to the DSLAM must be mapped to VLANs before the data can be sent out the GE ports of the DSLAM to the AR.
Do the following to create VLAN-to-PVC mappings for voice, video, and data.
Step 1 Create the VLAN-to-PVC mapping for the video service.
a. Click the Provisioning tab.
b. Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1 > VLANs.
c. Click the VLAN tab.
d. Click Add and confirm or enter the following:

|
e. Click Apply.
Step 2 Create the VLAN-to-PVC mapping for the voice service.
a. Proceed as in Step 1a through Step 1c, but make the following changes:
Set VLAN ID to 200.
Set VLAN Name to VoiceVlan200.
Set Untagged Ports to 01:00:51. (Select the PVC port pairs that apply for that VLAN.)
Set Tagged Ports to WAN.
b. Click Apply.
Step 3 Create a VLAN-to-PVC mapping for the data service. In this case, a unique VLAN is assigned to each ADSL port (user) for the data PVC, which is 8:35.
a. Create a data VLAN for User 1. Proceed as in Step 1a through Step 1c, but make the following changes:
Set VLAN ID to 500.
Set VLAN Name to DataVlan500.
Set Untagged Ports to 01:08:35. (Select the PVC port pairs that apply for that VLAN.)
b. Click Apply.
c. Create a data VLAN for User 2. Proceed as in Step 3a through Step 3b, but make the following changes:
Set VLAN ID to 501.
Set VLAN Name to DataVlan501.
Set Untagged Ports to 02:08:35.
d. Click Apply.
e. Create a data VLAN for User 3. Proceed as in Step 3a through Step 3b, but make the following changes:
Set VLAN ID to 502.
Set VLAN Name to DataVlan502.
Set Untagged Ports to 03:08:35. (Select the PVC port pairs that apply for that VLAN.)
f. Click Apply.
Note The hub-and-spoke topology calls for a unique data VLAN per ADSL port line (user or subscriber). The valid VLAN range for the test bed was 500-1000. For the purpose of testing, a unique user VLAN was configured per user, as shown above. However, in an actual customer deployment, these configurations can be automated by means of a script.
Step 4 Check the ingress rules for the VLANs.
a. Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1 > VLANs.
b. Click the Ingress Rule tab.
c. Confirm that Admit All VLANs is shown for each port.
Note If Admit All VLANs is not selected, then the STB was unable to get a DHCP address. UTStarcom recommends that Select All VLANs be used, as this is the default.
Step 5 Check the VLAN untag settings.
a. Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1 > VLANs.
b. Click the VLAN Untag tab.
All port VLAN pairs should be shown. This is because communication over the DSL line is VLAN untagged.
Caution Do not change the default configuration.
Note If VLAN tagging is enabled and an Ericsson HAG is being used with an Amino STB, the video service cannot initiate.
Verifying the Access List Configuration on the DSLAM
Do the following to verify the configuration of access lists on the DSLAM.
Step 1 Click the Provisioning tab.
Step 2 Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1 > Access List.
Step 3 Confirm that all line card DSL ports and PVCs defined for those ports are shown. The Inbound and Outbound Rules column should be blank.
Note No inbound or outbound rules were defined for solution testing.
Configuring QoS for the IPADSL3A Line Cards
Do the following to configure QoS for the IPADSL3A line cards.
Step 1 Configure packet priority.
a. Click the Provisioning tab.
b. Choose Node > Shelf1 > Slot1 > QoS.
c. Click Packet Priority tab.
