The hardware logical architecture of the ZXA10 C620 consists of a service interface
module, a switch & control module, and an uplink interface module.
− The GPON interface line card provides 1.25G upstream and 2.5G downstream
GPON interfaces that comply with the ITU-T G.984 standard.
− The XG-PON interface line card provides 2.5G upstream and 10G downstream
XG-PON interfaces that comply with the ITU-T G.987 standard.
− The XGS-PON interface line card provides 10G upstream and 10G downstream
XGS-PON interfaces that comply with the ITU-T G.9807 standard.
− The hybrid XG-PON/GPON interface line card provides GPON and XG-PON
access capabilities over the same port.
⚫ Control and switching module: The switch module is not responsible for searching
the service forwarding interface (implemented by each service interface line card). It
implements rapid traffic switch between line cards through self-adaptive routing
mechanism. The main control module supports inputting external reference clock
and phase from the line card, and assigns the optimal one to each service line card.
The system CPU implements configuration, management, driving, and diagnosis on
service cards by controlling the card CPUs.
⚫ Uplink interface module: Provides uplink GE or 10GE interface on the network side.
The ZXA10 C620 provides a fast forwarding channel and a slow forwarding channel for
service flows.
⚫ Fast forwarding channel: Service flows pass the service interface card, switch card,
and uplink card. In the upstream direction, GEM frames are decapsulated to Ethernet
frames, and then sent to the uplink interface after Ethernet switch on the switch card.
In the downstream direction, Ethernet frames are switched to the GPON line card by
the switch card, sent to GEM port according to service mapping rules, and then
encapsulated to GEM frames. TDM services complete the PWE3 encapsulation in
ONU or CES line cards and are switched to the uplink interface after Ethernet switch
on the switch card for carrying TDM services over Ethernet.
⚫ Slow forwarding channel processes the protocol packets on CPUs. The packets can
be either terminated on CPUs, or sent back to the forwarding channel by CPUs. The
common processing includes adding subscriber line ID, DHCP snooping, ARP
inspection, IGMP snooping, and Ethernet OAM.
The software of the ZXA10 C620 consists of an operating support subsystem, a bearing
and driving subsystem, a service control subsystem and a system management
subsystem.
This architecture is an open and programmable platform, and can not only provide the
traditional physical OLT function, but also provide the control plane to SDN controller in
the future;Combined with enhancement of the research and development ability, the
operators can offer convenient internet rapid business innovation.
The forwarding panel is separated from the control panel in the system architecture and
this architecture can realize In-Service Component Update technology.
⚫ Bearing and driving subsystem: abstracts the hardware and interfaces, drives
hardware to bear and forward services, shields the bottom layer hardware feature
from the upper layer software, provides general functional interfaces. The ZXA10
C600 series use a distributed forwarding architecture. The forwarding table items
and the packet processing are distributed on each line card. After the bearing and
driving subsystem of the line card obtains the configuration data from the forwarding
plane, the line card can implement service forwarding independently if the
configuration data is not updated. The offline of any line card will not affect the
communication of other line cards.
3.1 Networking
⚫ Interface Serial: the RJ45 interface on the switch & control card of the OLT (ZXA10
C620) can be connected to the serial port of a maintenance terminal.
⚫ Network interface: the OLT supports in-band NM and out-of-band NM. The out-of-
band NM interface is the 10/100/1000M RJ45 interface on the switch & control card.
The inband NM interface is the internal logical interface, which is connected to a
terminal though the uplink port after the in-band NM configuration.
In NM mode, the OLT communicates with the NM server using SNMP. The ZTE NMS
NetNumen™ U31 adopts C/S model and provides GUI for the unified management of
multiple broadband access devices and integrated access devices. Figure 3-2 shows the
maintenance networking diagram in NM mode.
NetNumen U31 is a unified EMS product under ZTE NetNumen brand. NetNumen U31
provides centralized operation and maintenance for the ZTE equipment and networks,
supports end-to-end solutions, and supports the management of all ZTE wireline NEs,
including wireline equipment of the service layer, control layer, bearing layer, access layer,
and terminal layer, as well as the data equipment. NetNumen U31 provides multiple north-
bound interfaces to upper layer systems, such as FTP, SNMP, CORBA, TL1, and DB.
Topology Management
Topology management provides topology view of the whole network, which presents key
information of the network on a clear interface. Topology view displays the NE, NE links,
and alarms in a direct and clear way.
Configuration Management
Performance Management
Alarm Management
Alarm management allows users to learn about the abnormal running status of the
network and equipment in time, and helps operation engineers to locate the fault and
solve the problems to ensure the proper running status. The alarm management module
receives and processes the alarms from the equipment and display alarms in GUI. The
alarms can be forwarded to specified targets via email and SMS.
Security Management
Security management prevents and prohibits unauthorized users from illegal accessing
or damaging the NetNumen U31 and NEs, prevents the legal users from unauthorized
operations, records all security related operation information for inspection, ensures the
legal operation on the system and proper running of the system.
Log Management
Log management manages the system logs. Logs are the records of events and
operations. By reviewing the logs, the users can learn about the system running status,
locating faults, review and inspect important events. Log management is a useful tool for
the system administrator to trace system operation status, locate faults, and trace users
operations.
Task Management
Task is a predefined procedure in the NMS. Task specifies the NMS behavior in certain
scenarios. Predefined task allows the NMS automatically carry out related operations
according to current running status to implement automatic scheduling and protection and
to improve management efficiency.
System Management
System management is used for managing NetNumen U31. Using system management,
the users can maintain the NMS. System management provides a unified operation
platform for maintenance and management, to implement the detection of the application
server and database server, and database management.
Report Management
The users can easily and directly learn about the system performance and running status
by reading the related reports. Report management can be used with task management
to provide periodical reports.

5 Network Applications
FTTH is to connect equipment in the central office to the subscriber home using optical
fibers. In physical architecture, FTTH uses optical fiber to connect OLT and ONUs, and
ONUs, also named as ONTs, are deployed at subscriber home and provide UNIs to
subscribers.
Figure 5-1 shows the FTTH network topology using PON technology.
In the FTTH network, the OLT is a piece of equipment that is owned by the operator and
is closest to users. Therefore, the following factors should be considered when planning
the deployment position of the OLT: The OLT should be deployed in a way that makes it
easy to manage and maintain. The PON technology can provide an access distance of
over 20 km, and this advantage should be made the most of. The OLT should be deployed
in a way that reduces the costs of optical cables. The OLT is normally deployed in the
central equipment room or the equipment room of the residential neighborhood. The ONT
should be put in a place in the home that is hidden but convenient for maintenance. The
ONU is usually installed on desktops (use an intelligent terminal box) within users’ homes.
FTTH terminals are divided to two types: One type is the ONU with uplink PON interfaces,
with home services carried on CAT-5 cable or WLAN (built-in or external AP), and the
other type is SFU + HGW, which is used in the scenarios where the fibers are not deployed
in the users’ premises.
Fiber to the Building (FTTB) supports two application scenarios: FTTB + LAN and FTTB
+ DSL.
Figure 5-2 shows the FTTB network topology using the xPON technology.
FTTB+LAN routes fibers to buildings and CAT-5 cables to homes. With a copper access
range of less than 100m, this mode is mainly applied in scenarios where CAT-5 cables
are routed new-built buildings and transformed neighborhoods to provide a high
bandwidth and a wide coverage. Because FTTB+LAN saves fiber resources, PON ports
and OLTs, its deployment cost is lower than that of FTTH when the user density is high.
OLTs can be centrally deployed in the equipment building or at access points, with
centralized deployment being the preferred mode. The LAN MDU is used as the ONU,
generally deployed in an integrated information box in the corridor, and shared by multiple
users. The MDU covers a range of no more than 100m and provides voice/data/video
services through a built-in IAD. The MDU provides two types: pure-broadband and hybrid
broadband/narrowband. Considering user bandwidth, MDU capacity and distribution, it is
recommended that no more than 16 LAN MDUs be connected to each PON port. The
MDU has two forms: fixed configuration and plug-in configuration. The fixed-configuration
MDU provides a mixture of pure-broadband and hybrid broadband/narrowband. The plug-
in MDU offers more flexibility in configuring card types and quantities of broadband,
narrowband and other cards.
FTTB+DSL is another FTTB mode. It routes fibers to buildings and uses an ONU that
integrates a mini DSLAM. It allows for user access by the VDSL2/ADSL2+ technology.
FTTB+DSL is especially suitable for reusing existing copper resources and using users'
telephone lines to access services. It suits the scenarios where neither drop fiber or CAT-
5 cables are deployed to homes. The length of copper cables is generally 100m to 500m.
We recommend that the maximum length of copper cables should not exceed 500m. A
single ONU in FTTB+DSL mode has a larger capacity and covers more users than that in
FTTB+LAN mode. The ONU is normally deployed within buildings. FTTB+DSL is mainly
used in scenarios where only twisted pairs are routed to homes. Its main application
requirements are the same as those of the FTTB+LAN. OLTs can be centrally deployed
in equipment buildings or at access points, with centralized deployment being the
preferred mode. The MDU provides two types: pure-broadband and hybrid
broadband+narrowband. Considering user bandwidth, DSL MDU capacity and distribution,
it is recommended that no more than 8 LAN MDUs be connected to each PON port. Like
the LAN MDU, the DSL MDU also has two forms: fixed-configuration and plug-in.
The ZXA10 C600/C650/C620 work as an OLT in FTTB scenarios, connecting with ONUs
to provide users with multiple services including IPTV, voice and Internet.
Fiber To The Office (FTTO) connects equipment in the central office to a company or an
office using optical fibers. The equipment or network deployed behind the ONU/ONT is
managed by the user. In some countries, this optical mode sometimes is also called Fiber
To The Business (FTTBusiness).
Trunk fibers are laid from the OLT to fiber splitter boxes through weak current wells. The
lowest capacity of fiber cores is decided by the total number of users in the building and
the split ratio of the optical splitter. Fiberl splitter boxes are directly connected to users via
fibers, or for construction convenience, via level-2 fiber splitter boxes. At this time, level-
2 fiber splitter boxes only act as a fusion splice and distribution convergence point instead
of an optical splitter point.
Figure 5-3 shows the FTTO network topology using the xPON technology.-
The main difference between FTTO and FTTH lies in the services they provide. FTTO
application does not necessarily cover streaming services such as IPTV but definitely
involves dedicated lines. Currently FTTO application features a heavy presence of TDM
dedicated line services.
Enterprise customers, such as conference venues, upscale office buildings, and hotels,
bring in high added value. These users need a diverse range of services, demand a high
service quality, and are not sensitive to service tariffs. While developing enterprise group
users is crucial to increasing ARPU for operators, a well-rounded enterprise information
solution is an important tool for them to gain such users.
The ZXA10 C620 works as an OLT in FTTO scenarios, supporting optical line protection.
The terminals it connects to are SBUs and MTUs. In addition to services for government
and enterprise users such as voice, wired/wireless broadband, LAN interconnection,
videoconferencing and IPTV, the OLT can also provide services including enterprise PBX
and TDM dedicated line services, for which the OLT provides complete QoS assurance
mechanism.
Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) is applied in residential areas and rural areas, as the
complement of FTTB/FTTH. In FTTC application, fibers are connected to the ONUs or
DSLAMs on the curbs, twisted pairs are connected to subscribers. The ONU capacity in
FTTC is larger than that in FTTB + DSL. ONUs are usually placed in OCCs, equipment
rooms in residential communities, or outdoor cabinets.
Figure 5-4 shows the FTTC networking diagram using the xPON technology.
FTTC is suitable for informationization construction in rural areas, and prevents the trunk
copper cables from being stolen.
OLTs are placed in the equipment room of districts or counties. DSL MDUs are placed in
villages. Using passive splitter, multiple areas and villages can share the trunk fibers to
save the network buildout and maintenance cost.
In mobile era, the mobile base stations include macro base stations (3G NB, LTE eNB)
and small cell stations (micro, pico, femto) for different deployment scenarios. These
stations intend to enhance subscriber capacity and bandwidth and implement extensive
service coverage.
Operators usually adopt IP network to connect LTE base stations. The networks cover
the existing 2G/3G macro base stations, and are extended to satisfy the high density
requirement of LTE or future 5G. Especially, the small cell base stations require flexible
carrier technologies for cost and construction considerations..
In 3G/LTE stage, base stations are extensively connected via Ethernet to network, see
Figure 5-5 for end to end topology.
⚫ Scenario 1: For the Ethernet backhaul service of LTE, FTTM provides the
xPON CBU/ONU or GE/10GE P2P interfaces to connect the base stations.
The OLT is connected to the mobile core network through PSN, for example,
IPRAN The FTTM network supports Ethernet transparent transmission of
backhaul service, the backhaul service connects to PSN network in IP/MPLS
L2VPN, and then traverses MAN L3VPN to core network..
⚫ Scenario 2: For the Ethernet backhaul service of LTE, FTTM provides the
xPON CBU/ONU or GE/10GE P2P interfaces to connect the base stations.
The OLT is connected to the mobile core network through PSN, for example,
a PTN domain. The FTTM network supports Ethernet transparent
transmission over PON and de-capsulated back to Ethernet at OLT. The
backhaul service connects to an upstream PSN domain (MPLS-TP) and then
traverses MAN L3VPN to core network.
The metropolitan area core device acts as the GPS clock input node, providing
synchronization signals to the mobile backhaul by using synchronous Ethernet and
1588v2. In case the upper layer devices do not support time/clock delivery, OLT also
supports interfaces to an external clock and time as synchronization sources.
The main differences of macro base stations and small cell bearing are:
The reliability of Macro station data-transport shall ensure 99.999% traffic hitless within a
year, while the small cell system only requires 99.99%~99.9% traffic hitless within a year,
almost 10~100 times of Macro station that required.
Macro stations have been bearing much more subscribers than Micro cell, therefore the
network reliability and traffic hitless are crucial. The traditional and recommended bearing
technologies for Macro Stations are ususally IPRAN(IP/MPLS) and PTN(MPLS-TP) which
can provide high reliability.
The MPLS OAM, MPLS-TP OAM technologies can provide carrier grade end to end
network operation and maintenance, provide means of Telecom level protection and
restoration when fault occurred and detected for the existing IPRAN, PTN network (as
bearer of Macro stations). The OLT system supports the EOAM for trouble-shooting the
CBU/ONU, network operator needs to incorporate this management of Eth Over PON
session into the IPRAN or PTN network to cooperate with the MPLS/MPLS-TP OAM when
the OLT based system for Macro stations was adopted.
The IPRAN, PTN network is traditionally trustable from the EPC’s view. The operators
who selected PON access network shall ensure this access portion as trusted network.
PON is not only a good candidate solution for small cell, but also for macro base station
given the fact that operators are informed with the differences above.

Table 6-1 lists the specifications and functions of ZXA10 C620 maintenance interfaces.
7 Reliability Design
The ZXA10 C620 uses a reliable design on key hardware components, including
active/backup protection, load sharing, hardware backup, which ensure reliability of the
hardware system.
Key components use multiple processors redundant technology. The switch and
control card, power card, and uplink module adopt active and backup mechanism.
Under normal situations, the active components run, and the backup components
keep synchronization with the active one. Once an active component is faulty, the
backup component takes over the role of the active one to ensure uninterrupted
services.
⚫ Load sharing
The switch and control cards support load sharing. In normal condition, both switch
and control cards are responsible for system control and service processing. When
one card is faulty, the other card performs system control and service processing
independently. Only the switching capacity is affected, the services are not
interrupted.
⚫ Physical backup
The ZXA10 C6xx supports two rows of fans and ensures that two fans run for the
ventilation of each card. In case of any fan is faulty, there is sufficient ventilation for
each card.
In case of single line fan operation, the ZXA10 C6xx can operate properly for 96
hours and reports alarms for fan replacement. The air volume is enough to ensure
the reliable heat dissipation for cards.
Meanwhile, the fans operate at full speed when the control circuit of the fan control
card is out of service, which ensures the reliable heat dissipation for the system.
The ZXA10 C620 software uses a hierarchical modularized structure. Each module is
designed on loose coupling mechanism. When one software module is abnormal, the
effect on other modules is reduced to the minimum.
The ZXA10 C620 support periodical detection on software resources, task detection,
storage protection, data check, and operation logs to prevent system from the impact of
software faults and enhance the fault-tolerant ability of the software system.
The ZXA10 C620 support automatic detection and diagnosis on system hardware and
software. The faulty hardware is automatically isolated, swapped, reset, or reloaded.
Fault detection and processing includes CPU system fault detection and switching
network system fault detection. CPU system fault detection includes CPU usage, burst
traffic, and abnormal alarms. Switching network system fault detection includes internal
port link interruption.
When the equipment is running, the software may need error correction for bugs or
adaptation to add new function to satisfy service requirements.
The ZXA10 C620 support hot patch for switch and control card software, which means
the version of the switch and control card can be upgraded online without interrupting the
service.
⚫ Boot chip backup: All cards support active and backup boot flash memory chips.
When the upgraded boot version is faulty, the system can start up using the pervious
boot version.
⚫ Data comparison: Support displaying the version files and configuration files in DIR
mode, including file names, file size, saving time, by which files can be compared.
The ZXA10 C620 support uplink trunk protection networking, dual uplink networking, ring
networking, and cascading networking. The ZXA10 C620 support service and equipment
protection on the network layer, and PON Type B protection on the service layer. For
details, refer to “Networking Features”.
