3  Device Architecture 
3.1 NTU-2V(C) Architecture 
 
Fig. 12— Logical Architecture of a Device with Factory Settings 
Main Components of the Device: 
–  optical receiver/transmitter (SFF module) for conversion of an optical signal into an electric one; 
–  processor (PON chip) which converts Ethernet and GPON interfaces. 
A device with factory (initial) settings have the following logical blocks (see Fig. 12):  
  br1; 
  Voice (VoIP block); 
  eth0…1; 
  FXS; 
  IPInterface. 
In this case, the br1 block is used to combine LAN ports into a single group. 
The eth0..1 blocks physically represent Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connector for connection of PC, STB, or 
other network devices. They are logically included into the br1 block.  
FXS blocks are ports with RJ-11 connectors for connection of analogue phones. They are logically included 
into the Voice block. The Voice block can be controlled through a web interface or remotely with the ACS server 
through TR-069 protocol. The block specifies VoIP service parameters (SIP server address, phone numbers, VAS, 
etc.) 
Filter  and  Marking  blocks are  designed  to  include  local  interfaces in  one  group (br1).  These  blocks  are 
responsible for traffic rules: Filter is used for incoming traffic, while Marking—for the outgoing one. 
The  IPInterface  block  is  a  logical  object  with  an  IP  address  for  LAN  access  and  a  DHCP  server,  which 
assigns addresses to clients.
