Basic Functions of the OLT
Optical line terminal (OLT)
• On the one hand, the OLT converges the signals that carry various services at
the central office, and transmits the signals to the access network in a
specified signal format for further transmission to the terminal users. On the
other hand, the OLT transmits the signals from the terminal users to various
service networks according to the service types.
• The OLT consists of three modules:
The core module provides the functions such as service convergence and
distributing, service processing, and ODN adaptation.
The service module provides the service interface function, including interface
adaptation, interface protection, signaling processing of the specific service
when required, and switching of medium transmission modes.
The common module provides the power supply and OAM functions.

 Introduction to the Board-Control Board
• The SCU board communicates with the service boards through the bus interface with the
broadband GE bus port or the 10GE bus port. In this way, the SCU board configures, man
ages, and controls the MA5600T. At the same time, the SCU board supports the functions
such as the simple routing protocol. The SCU board processes the alarm information thro
ugh the inband network management channel. The SCU board and the service boards su
pport the upper layer protocol. The board software uses the upper layer protocol to separ
ate the alarm management information from the message reported by the service board t
o perform related identification.

The SCUL board is a full 10GE switching matrix and the switching capacity is 400
Gbit/s in both directions.

The SCUB board is a full GE switching matrix and the switching capacity is 48 Gbit
/s in both directions.

Differences Between the SCUB and the SCUL
Boards

Except for the switching capacity, the

differences are:

• The SCUB board supports the uplink daughter board with four GE ports.
The electronic switch can control whether to use the uplink interface
board in the upstream slot or use the uplink daughter board.
• The SCUL board only supports the uplink interface board with two or one
port.
• The SCUB board supports the uplink interface board with four ports.
• In the case of the GPON application, inadequate switching capacity of the
SCUB board may cause the bandwidth bottleneck. So, the SCUB board
can be used when the capacity is less. Generally, in the case of the GPON
application, the SCUL board is used.

The GPBC board support four GPON ports.

The GPBC board supports the transmission reach of up to 20 km and the logical reach of up to 60 km.
The GPBC board supports the split ratio of up to 1:64. One GPON port can support 64 ONTs at the same time.
The GPON port supports the rate of 2.5 Gbit/s in the downstream direction and rate of 1.25 Gbit/s in the upstre
am direction.

Introduction to the Board-TOPA Uplink Interface Board
 Function
The TOPA board is a TDM uplink interface boards and provides the 16-channel
E1 uplink port.

Specifications
The TOPA board supports the Native E1 mode.
The E1 service is processed as unstructured data stream and the structured cha
nnel mode is not supported.

 Working principles
 In the upstream direction, the GE signals from the backplane are converted
into the signals in the TDM frame format through the interface module. Then, the
TDM signals are transmitted upstream.
 In the downstream direction, the interface module receives the signals from
the TDM line, and then converts and encapsulates the signals into GE packets.
After being transmitted through the service processing module to the backplane
bus, the GE packets are transmitted to the control board, and then the control
board forwards the packets to the related service boards.
