1.1 General Overview of the UniPhyer LB-UA2348 and LB-UA2324
The UniPhyer LB-UA2324 (24 port) and LB-UA2348 (48 Port) are Line Bridge Gateways within a
rack-mountable 2U high enclosure. The system provides up to 48 Line Bridge ports that when
connected to PhyAdapters can provide an IEEE 802.3af compliant 10/100 Mbps Power over Ethernet
(POE) port with broadband data rates using the two wire intra-office legacy wiring infrastructure. The
UniPhyer LB-UA2348 is capable of delivering very high speed data rates with up to ADSL2+
performance for each of the 48 ports, ideal for Voice over IP network deployments. With advanced
QoS features, the UniPhyer LB-UA2348 also has advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to further
customize deployment to meet network needs.
The UniPhyer LB-UA2348 provides two uplink trunk ports with both electrical and optical Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) interfaces..
The UniPhyer LB-UA2348 can act support of 802.3ad link aggression that extends the uplink
bandwidth to 2 Gbps and increases the reliability of uplink by line protection feature of 802.3ad. The
UniPhyer LB-UA2348 also supports stacking configuration that several UniPhyer LB-UA2348s can
stacked up to provide services to more subscribers for one GBE uplink.
Figure 1-1 shows the front panel view of the UniPhyer LB-UA2348.

1.1.2 System Application
Figure 0-2 UniPhyer LB-UA2348 system application
The UniPhyer LB-UA2348 leverages the redundant telephone cabling infrastructure to create a parallel
network with Power-over-Ethernet. This is a plug and play solution that can be deployed quickly and
easily with the default configuration.
The UniPhyer provides a permanent point-to-point link between the IP phone jack on the PhyAdapter
and the Phybridge UniPhyer and is thus able to guarantee predictable communication between the two
end points.

1.4.1 Module Functional Block Diagram
Figure 0-3 UniPhyer LB-UA2348 Module Functional Block Diagram
The Power Management and PWS Module provide the power and signaling on the Line Ports for the
PhyAdapters. The ADSL module aggregates 24/48 ports signaling traffic into the network processor
card, the network processor terminates the ATM traffic into Ethernet packets through its SAR
(Segmentation and Reassembly) function. The network processor also provides the Layer-2 Ethernet
functions; it can support the mapping between the ATM VCI and VLAN ID (802.1q) and priority
queues (802.1p). The mapping functionality between ATM PVC and VLAN ID include one PVC to
one VLAN ID and multiple PVCs to one VLAN ID; all of which are configurable.
Through the two GBE uplink interfaces, the system can provide Link Aggregation (802.3ad), VLAN
stacking, and Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w) as ring protection architecture.
