About the ATM Line Cards  
1
ATM Line Cards  
The 8955, 8965, 8968, and 8985 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Line Cards  
are circuit boards mounted in an 8620 or 8820 Broadband Access Concentrator  
(BAC) and used to transport ATM cells at high speeds over a single twisted-pair  
connection or, optionally, two twisted-pair connections (8985 only).  
Model 8955 supports ReachDSL. It automatically adjusts to the highest rate  
the loop can support, from 32 to 2176 kbps. It has 24 ports.  
Models 8965 and 8968 support Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL).  
They can be set to adapt to the line conditions at startup, or set to the following  
fixed rates depending on line code:  
— G.lite: 64 to 3008 kbps downstream and 32 to 512 kbps upstream.  
— G.dmt, ANSI T1.413, ADSL2, and ADSL2+: 32 to 8000 kbps downstream  
and 32 to 832 kbps upstream.  
— ADSL2: 32 to 16000 kbps downstream and 32 to 1056 kbps upstream.  
— ADSL2+: 32 to 29000 kbps downstream and 32 to 2200 kbps upstream.  
The Model 8965 has 24 ports and the Model 8968 has 48 ports.  
Model 8985 supports Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line  
(SHDSL). It can be set to adapt to the line conditions at startup, or set to a  
fixed line rate from 192 to 2304 kbps (or 384 to 4608 kbps with two wire pairs).  
It has 24 ports.  
The 8955, 8965, 8968, and 8985 line cards are configured and managed using the  
Shelf Concentration and Processing (SCP) card.  
Part of Paradyne’s Hotwire Connected™ program, the cards interoperate with  
third-party DSL endpoints providing end users with the ability to select the best  
equipment to fit their application. The line cards also integrate support for multiple  
DSL services on a single card.

Configuring Cross Connections  
Use the Configuration - Cross Connect screen to establish or delete Virtual  
Channel Connections (VCCs) by port or by slot. Connections may be established  
between any combination of:  
Subtended ports  
DSL ports  
Network interface (uplink)  
Default Mappings  
A DSL port’s data VPI/VCI is always 0,35.  
Default VC mappings to the SCP card for data service may be determined so:  
VPI is 2 for ports 1–24 and 3 for ports 25–48  
VCI is (Slot * 24) + (Port number up to 24) + 7  
Port numbers 25 through 48 are reduced (by 24) to 1 through 24, respectively, in  
calculating VCI. So the VCI for Slot 3, Port 1 is the same as the VCI for Slot 3,  
Port 25:  
Slot 3, Port 1: 3*24 + 1 + 7 = 80  
Slot 3, Port 25: 3*24 + 25 – 24 + 7 = 80

Configuring ATM Ports  
Use the Configuration - ATM Port screen to associate a DSL port or the T1/E1 port  
with an ATM segment location. ATM segment location ID is a 16-octet field that  
identifies this ATM interface for OAM F5 loopbacks. When a segment F5 OAM  
loopback cell is received, the destination segment location in the cell is compared  
to the segment location ID for the port. If the destination location ID matches the  
location ID or is all ones, the cell is looped back to the source. If there is not a  
match, the cell passes through the card.  
Procedure  
To associate a port with an ATM segment location:  
1. Select a Slot and Port from the drop-down lists, and click on Select.  
2. Enter an ATM Segment Location ID. The value must be 32 hexadecimal
