4 General Description

Subscriber Interfaces
The NVLT-R is a line termination board of the ISAM system. It contains 72 lines per
board, which are configurable as ADSL/ADSL2plus/ADSL2/VDSL2.

Bonding
The NVLT-R supports board-level bonding and is designed for the following transfer
mode capabilities:
• ADSL/ATM
• VDSL2/PTM
Note: for an overview of the supported transfer modes, see the Product Information
document of your system.

Deployment
The NVLT-R meets ETSI requirements and is intended for CO and remote deployment
in ISAM Flexible Density (FD) equipment.
The NVLT-R must be mounted in an LT slot of a subrack. The following figures show
the position of the NVLT-R in:
• a 7302 ISAM FD subrack (CO deployment); see Figure 1.
• a 7330 ISAM FTTN FD subrack (CO or remote deployment); see Figure 2.
• a 7356 ISAM FTTB SB-REM (remote deployment); see Figure 3.

The board functions can be subdivided into two major sections:

• The data plane is responsible for the translation and mapping of the 72 DSL lines into
1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps Ethernet links towards the NT boards (and vice-versa); it
provides connectivity between the DSL chipsets and the GB Ethernet PHYs.
• The control plane is responsible for the management functions of the NVLT-R board.
The NVLT-R hardware architecture consists of the following functional blocks:
• User-data to NT Interface Module (UNIM):
The UNIM connects the data plane to the ISAM NTs. Two SERDES interfaces are
required for this purpose (one connected to NT A and one connected to NT B). These
interfaces can operate in active/standby mode or in load-sharing mode at 1 Gbps or
2.5 Gbps.
• InterWorking Function Module (IWFM):
The IWFM is the core module of the data plane and handles the L2/L3 protocol
related aspects of the data path, packet filtering and forwarding, traffic management,
QoS, and so on.
• IWF Memory Module (IMM):
Dedicated DDR2 memory subsystem for IWF.
• On-Board Controller Module (OBCM):

NVLT-R 72L VDSL2 over POTS LT Unit - version R

The OBCM is the core module of the control plane and acts as general CPU towards
all components on the LT board. The OBCM also takes care of management plane
data manipulation (for example, traffic flow handling (initialisation and termination),
IGMP processing (IP multicast), LT-NT communication and so on).
• OBC Memory Module (OMM):
Dedicated DDR2 memory subsystem for OBC.
• Control and Management Module (CMM):
The CMM CPLD contains the LT board's glue logic. It also expands the general
purpose I/O and local bus capabilities of the OBCM and has a number of support
functions.
• MoDeM Module (MDM):
The MDM is the ADSL/ADSL2plus/ADSL2/VDSL2 physical part of the LT board
and consists of 72 lines.
• ClocK Module (CLKM):
The CLKM generates all clocks required by the components and interfaces on the
board. It also distributes the Network Timing Reference (NTR) to the xDSL PHYs.
• PoWeR Module (PWRM):
The PWRM generates all voltages required by the components on the board from the
battery power distribution on the backplane. It also guarantees that the LT board is
hot-insertable without affecting the operational behavior of any other board in the
system.
