15 OptiCable D-CMTS Configuration
(MA5633 Working as a Remote Extended Frame)
About This Chapter
The OptiCable solution implements cable TV (CATV) and broadband signal transmission over
a coaxial network. It applies in CATV network reconstruction in upstream and downstream
directions or new residential areas requiring the CATV and broadband services over a coaxial
network. The radio frequency (RF) access mode applies in the PON+distributed cable modem
termination system (D-CMTS) scenario. This mode complies with the data over cable service
interface specification (DOCSIS) and supports multiple broadcast and TV services, such as high-
speed Internet (HSI) and IPTV services. The OptiCable centralized management solution, in
which an MA5633 works as a remote extended frame of an optical line terminal (OLT), supports
more D-CMTSs without increasing the number of management IP addresses, thereby
simplifying D-CMTS management and reducing maintenance costs.
15.1 D-CMTS Service Overview
This section describes the services supported by a distributed cable modem termination system
(D-CMTS) for multiservice operators (MSOs) from the aspect of basic concepts, networking
scenarios, and hardware configurations. This information provides a basis for configuring the
services on the D-CMTS.
15.2 Data Plan Principles for D-CMTS Services
This section describes the principles of planning frequency spectrum management, device
management, quality of service (QoS), and VLANs for distributed cable modem termination
system (D-CMTS) services.
15.3 Service Configuration on a D-CMTS That Works as a GPON Remote Extended Frame on
a Layer 3 Network
This section describes how to configure services, including home services, L2VPN enterprise
service, and wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspot radio backhaul service, on an optical
line terminal (OLT) when a distributed cable modem termination system (D-CMTS) works as
a GPON extended frame on a Layer 3 network. The MA5603T equipped with the SCUV, GPMD,
and SPUF boards is used as an example.
