Chapter 1

VDSL Applications Overview

This chapter describes VDSL2 applications and the Calix E-Series VDSL2 solution.

Topics Covered

This chapter covers the following topics:

An overview of the E-Series xDSL support

Description of modular chassis deployment with VDSL-based cards

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

xDSL Subscriber Access Support

The Calix E-Series Ethernet service platform leverages VDSL2 and ADSL2+ technology,

along with an Ethernet switching fabric, to perform L2 aggregation / switching and layer-3-

aware service delivery. Up to two dedicated 10 Gigabit and four 2.5 or 1 Gigabit Ethernet

uplinks can be leveraged to provide high capacity service delivery on a per-chassis basis.

E7-2 VDSL2-48 Overlay Line Card

Interfaces:

48x DSL Overlay ports with corresponding 600- or 900-Ohm integrated splitters

Four 1GE / 2.5GE SFP MSA sockets, and two 1GE / 10GE SFP+ MSA sockets

Features:

The VDSL2-48 also supports pair bonding in both ADSL2+ and VDSL2 modes.

One VDSL2-48 line card can be installed in an E7-2 chassis.

Integrated splitters provide a means to extract analog voice form the service loop and

terminate it on an existing DLC or analog POTS port on a switch line bay. One E7-2

VDSL2-48 line card can be plugged into a Calix E7-2 shelf to create a compact, high

density DSL overlay node, with Ethernet aggregation and transport, ideal for copper

based delivery of IP services leveraging existing POTS infrastructure, across the access

network.

Rev 13 and above of the VDSL2-48 card supports 600/900 Ω impedance, compatible

with all E7 releases. There is no need to select between 600 and 900 Ω impedance and

the splitter design accommodates either impedance without configuration.

POTS interfaces of the VDSL2-48 line card have the following characteristics:

Impedance of 600 Ω + 2.16 μf, supporting ETSI based loop plants

Impedance of 900 Ω + 2.16 μf, supporting ANSI based loop plants

Loop current of up to 25mA (during normal operation), and 18mA (during battery

backup)

E7-2 VDSL2-48 r2 Overlay Line Card

This card is backward compatible with the original E7-2 VDSL2-48 Overlay line card.

E7-2 VDSL2-48C Combo Line Card

Interfaces:

48x Combo DSL and POTS ports, two 1GE / 2.5GE SFP MSA sockets

Two 1GE/10GE SFP+ MSA sockets

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

The E7-2 VDSL2-48C line card can be plugged into one or both of the two universal slots

within a Calix E7-2 shelf to create a compact, very high density DSL node of 96 ports in a

1RU high chassis, for DSL and VOIP access. Pair bonding is supported in both ADSL2+

and VDSL2 modes.

E7-2 VDSL2-48C r2 Combo Line Card

This card is backward compatible with the original E7-2 VDSL2-48C Combo Line Card.

E7-2 VDSL2-48D Data-Only Line Card

Interfaces

48 ports VDSL2/ADSL2+ Fallback data-only

2 SFP sockets at 1GE/2.5GE rates

2 SFP+ sockets at 1GE/10GE rates

The Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48D card can be plugged into one or both of the two universal slots

within a Calix E7-2 shelf to create a compact, high-density DSL node, with Ethernet

aggregation and transport, ideal for copper based delivery of IP services across the access

network. The line card supports pair bonding in both ADSL2+ and VDSL2 modes.

The Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48D Data-Only line card is ideally suited to meet new deployment

requirements for the “All-Digital loop” as well as traditional Class 5 TDM Voice Switch

consolidation applications. The All-Digital Loop provides high speed data services to all

subscribers with the VoIP POTS functionality provided as an integrated component of the

home residential gateway or as a separate IAD device attached to the modem. VoIP traffic is

packetized in the home and then forwarded across the Calix network to the SIP enabled

Softswitch. This application completely removes the POTS functionality from the service

loop as the VoIP traffic is forwarded as a prioritized data packet. Using the E7-2 VDSL2-

48D Data-Only line card Service Providers may continue to provide triple play services with

the voice element being classified as “digital voice” as compared to “Life-line POTS”.

In this application, the TDM Class 5 POTS and Splitters are external to the E7 solution. The

E7-2 VDSL2-48D Data-Only solution does not include splitter functionality. POTS services

in this application are provided by the Class 5 switch and the splitter function is external to

the E7 solution. In this application, high speed digital traffic is routed across the E7 while

POTS signaling is forwarded across the installed TDM network.

E7-2 VDSL2-48D r2 Data-Only Line Card

This card is backward compatible with the original E7-2 VDSL2-48D r2 Data-Only line card.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

The Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48 card combines forty-eight VDSL2/ADSL2+ subscriber ports and

corresponding integrated splitters, with four Gigabit Ethernet SFPs and two 10GE SFP+

ports, to provide high speed copper services with integrated Ethernet transport. Integrated

splitters provide a means to extract analog voice on a service loop and terminate it on an

existing DLC or analog POTS port on a switch line bay. One E7-2 VDSL2-48 line card can

be plugged into a Calix E7-2 shelf to create a compact, very high density DSL node, with

Ethernet aggregation and transport, ideal for copper based delivery of IP services across the

access network. The E7-2 VDSL2-48 supports a full set of subscriber services and network

topology protocols.

Interface Capacity

The Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48C line card combines VDSL2 / ADSL2+ fallback subscriber ports

and corresponding 900Ω integrated splitters, with GE SFPs and 10GE SFP+ ports, to

provide high speed copper services with integrated Ethernet transport.

VDSL2-48 supports a full set of subscriber services and network topology protocols.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

Broadband Overlay

The E7-2 can be used when traditional POTS already exists and is passed through the remote

location, originating from the access equipment located in the CO or an existing remote

DLC. The DSL overlay is passed through an integrated splitter / combiner, allowing the

delivery of voice, video, and data to a customer across a common, twisted pair cable. The

Calix E7’s GE uplinks may be aggregated on a C7 with GE-2p / FE-4p or GE-4s line cards

or on an Ethernet switch or router.

Overlay POTS Services with VDSL2-48

All 48-subscriber ports on the VDSL2-48 line card provide broadband DSL access and

access to overlay lifeline POTS service. Analog POTS is carried over the service loop using

standard Voice Frequency carriers (300 to 3400 Hertz). A line card integrated voice splitter

separates the voice from the data service for each subscriber signal, extracting the POTS

service, as an analog signal, back out of the line through the POTS overlay connector ports.

The analog POTS service can then be handled via a collocated Digital Loop Carrier (DLC),

or sent off to a TDM switch analog front end line bay.

POTS interfaces of the VDSL2-48 line card have the following characteristics:

Impedance of 900 Ω + 2.16 μf

Loop current of up to 25mA (during normal operation), and 18mA (during battery backup)

E3-48C Node

48x Combo DSL and POTS ports, two 1GE / 2.5GE SFP MSA sockets, and two

1GE/10GE SFP+ MSA sockets

The Calix E3-48C is a compact, hardened, high capacity sealed ESAN designed for

outside plant applications.

The E3-48C may be AC, DC, or Line powered.

E5-48 Overlay Node

Fixed 1RU form factor

48 x VDSL2/ADSL2+ Fallback

Integrated POTS splitter per port

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

4 x 1G ports for uplink/downlink

Identical to E7-2 with a VDSL2-48 card, with the following exceptions:

Modular chassis is not supported

LAG supports only two ports in a group, either ports 1&2 or ports 3&4. LAG

group may NOT include ports across the pair boundary. For example, a LAG

with ports 1&3, or 2&3 are not supported.

E5-48C Combo Node

Fixed 1RU form factor

48 x VDSL2/ADSL2+ Fallback ports

48 x POTS ports

4 x 1G ports for uplink/downlink

Identical to E7-2 with a VDSL2-48C card, with the following exceptions:

Modular chassis is not supported

LAG supports only two ports in a group, either ports 1 and 2 or ports 3 and 4.

LAG group may NOT include ports across the pair boundary. For example, a

LAG with ports 1 and 3, or 2 and 3 are not supported.

Multiple modes of DSL deployment

All xDSL ports on the VDSL2 line cards can be configured independently, for any of the

xDSL modes of operation. The length and gauge of the copper pair loop determines the

DSL mode(s) that can be supported for each port, and the train rate, and the derived service

rate that the service provider is able to deliver to the subscriber. During the "handshake"

process, the xDSL ports and the CPE agree to determine the DSL mode automatically. The

E-Series trains the port at the DSL mode that provides the highest line performance possible,

in the following order of priority:

1. VDSL2 PTM

2. ADSL2+ PTM

3. ADSL2+ ATM

4. ADSL2 PTM

5. ADSL2 ATM

6. ADSL ATM

xDSL can operate using either of two transmission convergence layers (PTM-TC, ATM-TC)

and in one of several modes, listed above.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

Packet mode utilizes PTM encapsulation (Ethernet services) for xDSL port operation. All

traffic on the port shares a single path and requires that all Basic Packet Functions (BPF)

be performed in order to support varied services (VLAN) on the port. This is possible

when using any of VDSL2, ADSL2+ or ADSL2 physical layers. PTM mode is not

possible with ADSL1 physical layers (for example, G.dmt).

ATM mode utilizes ATM encapsulation for xDSL port operation. In this case, the E-

Series performs a SAR function to interwork packets to/from cells. ATM mode can be

used with all xDSL physical layers, except VDSL2.

Fallback mode is where the E-Series automatically determines that it cannot train up in

VDSL2 mode, and then uses ADSL2+ instead. If the port can use PTM-TC, then it does

use it. If the xTU-R does not support PTM-TC, the E-Series uses ATM-TC and

performs the SAR function. Note that the E-Series currently supports up to six PVCs per

xDSL port for ADSL operation.

Legacy mode (this mode is only supported on the C7 and E5-series Calix products, and

NOT supported on the E-Series) is distinctly different than the other modes in that ATM

VC are connected directly to individual ATM VC on the DSL line, just as with a

traditional ADSL card. As such, QoS is provided by the ATM VC, rather than on a per-

priority, per VLAN port basis. Traditional CAC functions are performed to ensure that

the aggregate capacity of the ATM VC feeding the port do not exceed the ports capacity.

The exception being handling of multiple UBR VC on egress, wherein some rate shaping

and priority queuing are required.

Bonding

The VDSL card supports bonding wherein a single “bonded” port can be created from

multiple physical ports. Bonded ports are treated the same as individual ports. Therefore, all

aspects of Basic Packet Functions (BPF) that are applicable to individual ports are also

applicable to Bonded ports.

Vectoring

E-Series supports unit level vectoring on all VDSL2 equipment. Vectoring eliminates cross

talk between VDSL2 lines and thus recovers bandwidth that would otherwise be “lost” due

to crosstalk. Vectoring also ensures a uniform level of performance from pair to pair in a

vectored binder group. The E-Series vectoring complies with the ITU G993.5 standard.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

Modular Chassis Deployment

The E7-2 MC platform operates as a ‘node’ such that it is managed as a complete entity;

adding and deleting service, updating within a node concept, operationally managing troubles

and diagnosis as a node. Configuration and installation of ‘stacked’ units to the node is

automatically handled with ease of visual indicators to ensure cables are connected properly.

See the following for related information:

"Turning Up a Modular Chassis System" in the Calix E7 User Guide for information on

initially configuring several E7s into a modular chassis

Calix Method of Procedure (MOP): Migrating Standalone E7 Systems to an E7 Modular Chassis for

instructions on how to migrate multiple standalone E7 systems into a unified E7 modular

chassis

Calix E7 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to add, replace, or

delete components in a modular chassis system.

Considerations for VDSL2-based cards in a modular chassis

The VDSL2-48C / VDSL2-48 line cards are supported components of the modular

chassis architecture and platform deployment model.

Modular chassis with VDSL2 cards support SFP ports at 2.5GE data rates for inter-

chassis stacking ring connectivity.

The VDSL2-48C card shares a common EXA Powered architecture and feature set

common to all E7 cards and can be mixed interchangeably with other E7 cards to

provide an application specific solution.

Single-card Modular Chassis Controller (MCC) is supported when deploying a multi-shelf

E7-2 with VDSL2-48 Overlay cards.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

In the diagram above, VDSL2-48C line cards in the MCC and MCE shelves lose a forward

facing SFP+ socket to the chassis’ backplane. This is not the case with the VDSL2-48

Overlay line card, since it requires no backplane communication to a second card in the E7-2

same chassis. Both the RT and CO nodes are fully and only equipped with E7-2 VDSL2-48C

line cards, while they could also use transport cards (for example 10GE-4) in the MCC to

aggregate multiple ERPS rings or take advantage of longer range XFP optics. Both nodes

support protected 10GE ERPS Transport and / or RSTP or Link Aggregation network

protocols from the MCC shelf. See "Turning Up a Modular Chassis system" in the Calix E7

User Guide for configuration guidelines and detailed instructions for configuring a modular

chassis system.

Chapter 2

Configuring VDSL2 Applications

This chapter describes how to setup VDSL2 applications, including configuring the E-Series

system, creating profiles, and then adding subscriber services.

Note: For procedures on initial turnup and network configuration specific procedures, see

the Calix E7 User Guide or the Calix E3-48/E5-48/E5-48C User Guide. See the E7 Maintenance

and Troubleshooting Guide for a procedure on VDSL2 Single Ended Line Test (SELT) that is is

a DSL pre-provisioning test tool used to assess the line capability prior to installing a modem

at the customer premise.

Topics Covered

This chapter covers the following topics:

1. Configure network uplinks for VDSL2 services

2. Creating system profiles that support VDSL2 applications

3. Configure subscriber services

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

Step 1. Configuring the Network Uplink(s) for

VDSL2 Services

This section describes how to configure the network uplinks for provisioned VDSL2

services.

Topics Covered

This section covers the following topics in bold that are part of the overall VDSL2 services

configuration process:

1. Configure network uplinks for VDSL2 services

Configuring Ethernet port interfaces

Configuring Ethernet ports

Overview: Configuring the Network Uplink(s)

This chapter describes how to configure the network uplink(s) for E-Series VDSL2 services.

If the network contains a number of E-Series nodes, such as in a 10GE transport ring, the

network uplink(s) may reside in a different shelf from the VDSL2 ports and may include

multiple uplinks per service. Network uplink(s) are typically located in a shelf closest to the

core or headend.

Note: For information on configuring system-level objects, such as NTP servers and SNMP

traps, see the Calix E7 User Guide or the Calix E3-48/E5-48/E5-48C User Guide.

Configuration process

The network uplink configuration process follows:

1. Configure the 10GE or GE uplink port for service.

Set the Admin status for enable.

2. Configure the Ethernet interface on the uplink port.

Set the interface role to Trunk.

Enable RSTP for link protection as required.
