1.4 BAS Overview

The Pannaway BAS is an ADSL aggregation and internetworking switch that manages
the converged traffic of multiple Pannaway Personal Branch Gateway (PBG) devices.
The BAS integrates aspects of Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs),
Digital Loop Concentrators (DLCs), and ATM-to-IP gateway switches. Some models of
the BAS also provide telephone lifeline service in the event of a loss of electrical power
at a subscriber’s PBG.
1.4
BAS Overview
This section provides an overview of the capabilities and components of the BAS.

BAS Functions The Pannaway BAS performs ADSL aggregation serving up to 32 Pannaway Personal
Branch Gateway (PBG), Residential Gateway NID (RGN), or Personal Branch Modem
(PBM) subscriber devices. Each subscriber device provides voice, video, or data services
to end customers, while the BAS connects those customers to the services and systems
at the central office, remote terminal or head end.
The BAS manages the aggregation of these multiple ADSL signals and switches them
to and from the BAS’ Gigabit Ethernet ports. The traffic to and from the Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces can be connected to a multiprotocol router, such as the Pannaway
Broadband Aggregation Router (BAR), for access to Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) gateway devices, the Internet, and to services and systems resident on
the service provider’s network.

BAS Hardware The BAS is engineered to encompass and replace the essential functions that would be
served by a DSLAM, DLCs, and an IP/Gigabit Ethernet gateway in a heterogeneous
solution. In order to serve these functions, the BAS provides a set of standards-based
interfaces. As the BAS is designed to operate in existing and working Central Office and
Remote Terminal environments, it is constructed to make efficient use of space and
minimize the possibility of displacing or impacting other network equipment. To
perform in this environment, the BAS also has certain physical and operational
characteristics that are summarized in this section.
The physical components that are presented here are referred to throughout the
procedures and other information in this manual.

Communications The Pannaway BAS provides communication interfaces to connect to other networking
Interfaces equipment. The following network communications interfaces are supplied on the BAS.

16 port ADSL 50-pin RJ21A connectors 1 or 2a

Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver 2

ports

a.The BAS-ADSL16 models of BAS provide one (1) RJ21A ADSL connector. The BAS-ADSL32 models

Figure 1-3. BAS Rear Panel Components

Field-Serviceable Fuse Blocks (2)

Components The BAS contains two 3 Amp replaceable fuse blocks. These fuses provide power spike
and surge protection for the BAS.

Ports and Connectivity Ground Terminal

The rear panel ground terminal provides a bare connection point for connecting a
chassis ground lead. This ground post is connected to an earth ground with an
appropriate grounding wire terminated with a copper ring terminal.
SFP Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The BAS provides two gigabit Ethernet ports (GE1 and GE2) that make use of Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) network transceivers. The use of SFP transceivers enables
the BAS to support short or long-haul optical connections, other approved network
media, or a combination of media types and implementations, based on the type of
transceiver and media installed. The characteristics of the physical layer signaling are
dependent on the specifics of the SFP transceiver used.
SFP optical transceivers for the Pannaway BAS must meet the Small Form Pluggable
(SFP) Transceiver Multi Source Agreement (MSA). Pannaway Technologies has tested
and qualified transceivers from JDS Uniphase, Infineon, and Photon Technologies, and
resells these qualified transceiver units.

a.Maximum media length is dependent upon optical loss characteristics and all optical outside plant media should be tested prior to implementation.

50-pin ADSL Champ Connectors

The BAS supports ADSL connections to subscriber site Personal Branch Gateway
(PBG) devices through the use of 50-pin RJ21A ports on the rear panel. The BAS is
available with two ADSL port configurations: 16-line (the BAS-ADSL16 series) and 32-
line (the BAS-ADSL32 series). Each ADSL RJ21A port supports up to 16 ADSL lines
and subscribers.
The ADSL ports of the BAS incorporate plastic hook-and-loop straps to secure the
RJ21A connector to the port.
Discrete Alarm Lead
To support fuse condition monitoring by an external alarm panel, audible alarm, or
other alarm signal, the Pannaway BAS provides a two-wire alarm lead from the rear
panel of the BAS. A 6.1 meter (20 ft) two wire cable with a keyed connector is provided
for use with the BAS alarm lead.
The alarm contacts monitor the condition of the BAS fuse blocks. If either fuse
experiences a failure, the alarm lead will be activated. The alarm lead circuit is open
during normal operation, and closes when a fuse block failure is detected. Specifications
for the alarm contacts and relay may be found in Appendix A, “Specifications”.

NOTE: The alarm contacts in the BAS will only close in response to a fuse failure.
The circuit will not be completed in response to other power conditions or a loss of
power to the BAS.

Power Feed Connectors

The BAS supports redundant -48 VDC power through the A and B power feed
connections on the rear panel. The connection from the central office power source to
the Pannaway BAS is made through a pre-wired power connection cable (supplied with
the BAS). The power feed connection points are keyed, and will only accept the
appropriate connector in the correct alignment.

2.2 Installation Site Requirements

The Pannaway BAS is designed for use and operation in a number of installation site
types. In order to ensure the best operation, however, a suitable installation location
must meet the criteria and requirements presented in this section.

2.2 Refer to the information in this section before installing the BAS in a selected facility,
and test to ensure that the facility meets these site requirements.
Installation Site
Requirements
Environmental The location where the Pannaway BAS is installed must meet the following
Requirements environmental criteria:

Table 2-1. Site Environmental Requirements

Condition Acceptable Values

Operating Temperature -40° - 65° C (-40° - 149° F)

Storage Temperature -40° - 90° C (-40° - 194° F)

Temperature Variability 0° to 50° to 0° at 30°C/hr

Humidity 10% - 90% non-condensing

In general, a well-maintained Remote Terminal environment will fall well within these
limitations. The typical Central Office environment should also easily meet these
requirements. A climate controlled and monitored location is recommended for the
BAS installation site.

Space The Pannaway BAS is designed for installation in a 19" telephone equipment rack. As a
Requirements 1U sized device, it is designed to fit in a 1U (44.45mm or 1.75") high space. The BAS is
front and rear-ventilated, so a single 1U space is sufficient for clearance and ventilation,
provided that airflow through the front fans and rear vents is not impeded.

TIP: When installing the Pannaway BAS in a rack with other telephony or
networking products, ensure that the location of the BAS does not break the space
or clearance requirements of existing equipment.

Installation of the Pannaway BAS in a 23" equipment rack is not possible with the
supplied rack mounting brackets. Rack mounting brackets that will fasten the Pannaway
BAS to a 23” rack are available as a separately ordered item from Pannaway
Technologies (part number 409-0000004-00).

3.6 Verifying Installation and Start-Up

Once all physical installation is complete and verified, you may power up the BAS and
check the starting of the system.
Turn ON or otherwise activate the facility power from the power source to the BAS’s
power feeds. Once the BAS begins receiving power from the power source, it will enter
a self-testing and initialization phase.
3.6
Monitor the system LEDs on the front and rear panels of the BAS. If both power feeds Verifying
are installed and active, the two LEDs labeled “Power” on the front or rear panels of Installation and
the BAS should be solid green. The “System Status OK” LED on the front panel Start-Up
should blink green to indicate that the BAS is initializing. Listen for the operation of the
BAS fan modules, which may also provide an indication of the start-up of the BAS.
When the “System Status OK” LED remains a solid green, the BAS has passed all self
tests and initialized. Check the status of the Link LEDs on any ports that are connected
to network media. If the Link LED for any connection is not lit, the network media
may not be connected properly, or the network may not be responding.

3.7 Next Steps

The Pannaway BAS requires that some settings be configured through a local console
management connection. The procedures and instructions for this first time setup and
administration are presented in Chapter 4, “Field Configuration”. Perform the required
management operations in the Field Configuration chapter or proceed to fully
configure and activate the Pannaway BAS by referring to the Pannaway BAS
Administration Guide.

4.2 Description of Field Configuration

The installation and initial powering-up of the BAS leaves the system in a default mode
with extremely limited functionality. Administration and management tasks must be
performed, either through a local console connection or from a remote station
connected to the BAS’s networking interfaces, to configure the behavior of the
interfaces.
While all management functions can be performed through the Console connection on
the front panel of the BAS, most network management is performed by a network
manager using a management package or a terminal session over an operating network.
To support this non-local administration, the BAS requires a minimum amount of local
configuration. This local, or field configuration, provides an IP address and enhanced
password protection to the BAS, and can supply customized identification information
to management stations.
NOTE: All configuration and monitoring of the Pannaway BAS can be performed
through the local console connection. If your facility performs management this
way, you may choose to end the installation process here and refer to the
BAS Administration Guide.

5. The BAS presents a BAS> command prompt to indicate that the login to the default
Administrator account was successful.

Proceed with field configuration by performing the procedures in “Setting System

Identification” on page 4-2.

4.4 Setting System Identification

The next step in field configuration is the assignment of an IP address to the Pannaway
BAS. The IP address assignment is required for remote management stations or
programs to be able to connect to the BAS.
You have the option of assigning a static IP address and manually specifying network
information, or specifying that the BAS automatically retrieve its IP address and other
network information via DHCP.

Configuring the Before an IP address can be assigned, a valid and unique IP address must be chosen for
BAS Without DHCP the BAS, and a default gateway needs to be known for upstream connectivity.

Setting a Static IP If you are assigning a static IP address, obtain an IP address from the network
Address administration staff of the installation facility and record it. You will also need the
appropriate network mask for the network that the BAS will be assigned to.
To set the system IP address using a static IP asssignment, perform the following steps:

Continue to Section 4.5 , “Setting Session Access Security” to complete the field
configuration of the BAS.

4.5 Setting Session Access Security

The Pannaway BAS is shipped with a default administration user account and password
set. This default login is necessary to ensure that a BAS can be field configured by all
installers. As the default administration user account and password combination are
publicly available information, leaving the default password in place is a security risk.
NOTE: The default administrator account (“Admin”) cannot be deleted.

The procedure that follows assumes that these steps are being performed directly
following the setting of optional identification information, as described above. If the
BAS is not in the Global Configuration CLI mode, as indicated by the
BAS (config)# prompt, perform steps 1 and 2 of “Setting a Static IP Address” on

A.6 Port Pinouts and Wiring

RJ21A Connector The RJ21A connector has 50 pins: pins 1-16 and 26-41 provide the Broadband Access
Pinouts Switch’s ADSL connections. Wire the connector in accordance with Telco standards.
Pins 1-16 of the RJ21A connector provide RING connectivity (-48Vdc below ground),
and Pins 26-41 provide TIP connectivity (ground potential). Pins 17-25 and 42-50 of
A.6
Port Pinouts
the BAS RJ21A connectors should not be used.
and Wiring
Figure A-1 on page A-4, describes the pinout of the BAS RJ21A connector, what wires
of a 50-pin Telco cable connect to what pin, and how the pins of the connector
correspond to individual ADSL ports. Wires in the table are color-coded so that the
first listed color is the primary, color and the second color is the secondary (for
example, the color-code of white/blue indicates that white is the primary color and blue
is the secondary).

NOTE: If an ADSL port is dedicated for POTS usage, the connecting 6-pin jack
(commonly called RJ11) or 8-pin jack (commonly called RJ45) must be wired so
that the middle two pins are used for Ring/Tip connections. On a 6-pin jack, pin 3 is
Ring and 4 is Tip; on an 8-pin jack, pin 4 is Ring and 5 is Tip.

Figure A-1. ADSL/POTS Port Wiring Key

Depending on the model of BAS being wired, there may be one or two RJ21A ports,
supporting 16 or 32 ADSL/POTS service connections. Termination of each RJ21A
port is performed identically, with the wire pairs shown in the wiring key applying to
ports 1-16 on the ADSL1 connector, and ports 17-32 on the ADSL2 connector.

Ethernet RJ-45 Port The BAS provides an Ethernet 100BASE-TX RJ45 port to link directly to an out-of-
and Connector band management station, or to a local area network via a standard Ethernet Category
Pinouts (Cat) 5 copper cable. The link length can be no greater than 100 m (≈ 328 ft).
The BAS Ethernet interface supports MDIX (MDI Crossover) connections. MDIX-to-
MDIX connections (in general, BAS to PC) will require a crossover cable; MDIX-to-
MDI connections (in general, BAS to Ethernet hub/switch/router) should use straight-
through cables.
The pinouts for the RJ45 port pinouts are listed in Table A-7, “RJ-45 10/100 Port
Pinouts”.
