1 Overview
Facing increased competition from wireless telecommunication operators, providers of
cable television networks and large Internet content providers with strong brands and
deep pockets, the fixed-line operators are now searching for new revenue streams from
the increasingly popular triple or quadruple play bundled package of IPTV, voice calls
and ultra-high-speed broadband Internet access. Next-generation networks (NGN)
herald the shift from a "one network, one service" approach, to the delivery of many
services over a single network. Telecom field has entered the period of transition with the
theme of convergence. Convergence is also ongoing at the access layer. One integrated
access platform for all kinds of access can support unified plan, unified construction,
unified service provision and unified maintenance so that it will greatly decrease both the
CAPEX and the OPEX.
As a mainstream provider of MSAN solution and products in the world, ZTE’s MSAN
products are constantly developing, catering to the fast development of
telecommunications. Aggregating multiple technologies into a single platform, ZTE’s
ZXMSG 5200 is very flexible in solution and service provision. At subscriber access side,
the ZXMSG 5200 can provide legacy voice access, broadband access, voice over IP and
multimedia services based on copper or fiber media; at network side , it can adapt to
PSTN , NGN or IMS for voice provision, and it can adapt to ATM or IP for data service.
For the service provision, it’s one triple-play ready platform. The ZXMSG 5200 also
supports smooth evolution from PSTN to NGN and IMS to protect operators’ investment.
Figure 1-1 shows the position of the ZXMSG 5200 in an overall network solution. It is

2 Highlight Features
This section describes the highlight features of the ZXMSG 5200.
2.1 Advanced IP+TDM Dual Bus Architecture
To guarantee the best quality of all services provided, the ZXMSG 5200 adopts
advanced IP + TDM dual bus architecture, always using the most appropriate technology
to process each kind of service based on its technical attributes. IP technology is the
essential main force, dedicated to broadband based new-generation services, while
TDM technology is a valuable supplement, since it will still be the best solution for legacy
network applications in near future.
Due to the ALL-IP core with adequate bandwidth, the ZXMSG 5200 can easily integrate
with the latest Ethernet based access technologies, i.e. the ZXMSG 5200 supports
new-generation broadband access services like VDSL2, EFM, EPON, and GPON etc.
2.2 Full Service Access Platform
The ZXMSG 5200 provides a series of access services, from legacy narrowband
applications like POTS, ISDN, E1, leased line etc., to up-to-date broadband applications
like ADSL2+, VDSL2, SHDSL, FE/GE, GPON/EPON, etc. As a full service access
platform, the ZXMSG 5200 can simultaneously carry voice, video and high-speed data
services for FTTN/FTTC/FTTB applications, which gives operators a flexible,
industry-leading and cost-effective solution to satisfy various customers with the exact
services they want.

2.3 Fully PWE3 support
The ZXMSG 5200, with a highly integrated Circuit Emulation Services (CES) module,
enables circuit emulation functionality in multi-service equipment. It provides both
structured and unstructured circuit emulation services (CES) for E1 streams across a
packet network based on Ethernet technology. The circuit emulation features in the
ZXMSG 5200 comply with the relevant standards and support for protocols such as
SAToP (RFC4553) and CESoPSN (RFC5086), developed by the IETF's PWE3 working
group. For the structured E1 format, G.704 CRC4 and non-CRC4 are supported. The
ZXMSG 5200 also supports N*64kbps user data DDN transferring transparently between
two ZXMSG 5200s over PSN. In this mode, pairs of N*64kbps can communicate through
PSN. The ZXMSG 5200 directly offers N*64 K DDN ports to users.

The ZXMSG 5200 is capable of assembling user-defined packets of TDM traffic from the
TDM access interface and transmitting them to the Ethernet interfaces. It supports a
range of different packet switched networks, including Ethernet, IP and MPLS.
The ZXMSG 5200 incorporates a range of powerful clock recovery mechanisms on each
TDM stream, allowing the frequency of the original clock to be regenerated. Timing is
carried using RTP, and both adaptive and differential clock recovery schemes are
supported, allowing the customer to choose the correct scheme for the application.
The evolutionary pseudo wire approach maximizes investment protection by running all
TDM traffic – irrespective of protocols or signaling – transparently over Ethernet/MPLS/IP
networks. By supporting PWE3, the ZXMSG 5200 helps both operators and enterprises
to take advantage of the PSN infrastructure and reduce network expenses without
degrading functionality or services.
2.4 High Speed Access Interface
The ZXMSG 5200 supports GPON/EPON line card and VDSL2 (30a profile) line card.
2.4.1 VDSL2 access solution
VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2) is an access technology that exploits
the existing infrastructure of copper wires that were originally deployed for POTS
services. It can be deployed from central offices, from fiber-fed cabinets located near the
customer premises, or within buildings. The greater bandwidth of VDSL2 gives
telecommunications operators the ability to offer advanced services such as multiple
streams of interactive standard and high-definition TV over IP over the existing copper
plant. TV services are fastly becoming strategically important to telecommunications
operators who must now compete head-to-head with cable operators launching voice
over IP (VoIP) and high-speed internet services.
Many operators have thus already started to consider fiber deeper into the access
network – for example, fiber to the node (FTTN) and fiber to the curb (FTTC) –
shortening the length of copper loops to less than 1500 meters.
The VDSL2 line card in the ZXMSG 5200 supports abundant VDSL2 features, such as

lower power consumption, convenient VDSL2 management interface, fully TR101

compliant, diagnostic test functions, high performance, and better interoperability.
2.4.2 xPON access solution
PON technology supports services such as voice, data and video for network
construction. On the other hand, PON provides high bandwidth for both upstream and
downstream. With passive splitter and single mode fiber, xPON is easy for management,
maintenance, and can greatly reduce CAPEX and OPEX of network.
Fiber access is one of the key technologies of Next Generation Network (NGN). FTTx (x
can be Home, Business/Building, Cabinet network or other fiber applications) meets the
requirements of the Access Network (AN). PON technology uses passive ODN
equipments, which are small in size with less electromagnetism disturbance and fault
rate. The long distance (i.e. 20 Km) between OLT and ONU meets multiple users’
requirement. Passive ODN makes network much easier for management and
maintenance. The life of optical fiber is more than 50 years, much longer than that of
normal copper cable. FTTx solutions based on PON technology are becoming more and
more popular in world wide.
For the ZXMSG 5200, the support of EPON/GPON line card can match the requirement
of some enterprises and families, which need more bandwidth. ZXMSG 5200 can
provide the access solution, not only in copper access, but also in fiber access.
Each EPON line card of the ZXMSG 5200 supports an EPON interface. Each GPON line
card of the ZXMSG 5200 supports 2 or 4 GPON interfaces.
2.5 High Speed Uplink Interface
With the development of different broadband service, especially services based on video
and audio, such as IPTV, video conferencing, on line gaming, HDTV etc, the bandwidth
requirement is becoming higher and higher. The bandwidth requirement for these
services ranges from 20 ~ 50Mb/s even up to 100Mb/s.
The ZXMSG 5200 provide several options to choose for uplink interface, such as GE,
EPON/GPON. The EPON/GPON interface is used in FTTB/FTTC scenario, where the

ZXMSG 5200 acts as ONU. The GE interface is used in FTTN scenario; where the
ZXMSG 5200 is deployed at CO. Operators choose a different interface according to
the bandwidth requirement and the fiber development strategy.
The EPNI card provides 1 EPON uplink interface. The GPNI card provides 1 GPON
uplink interface.
2.6 Service Aware Platform Based on QoS

one is active and the others are standby. When the active MGC is down, the
ZXMSG 5200 can automatically register to standby MGC without service
interruption.
 Dual uplink protection using Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Link

Aggregation techniques.
 Uplink Auto Protection Switching ( UAPS ) , which implements the link hot backup
mechanism for dual FE/GE uplink interfaces in pair. At any time, there is only one
link in working status which supports all services. The standby link is in idle status.
When an interruption occurs on the active link due to fiber break, line break or
optical module damage etc. , the standby link immediately replaces the active link
and switches all services to it. When the faulty link recovers, the user can decide
whether to switch the services back to the original link.

is broken or MGC is down, the ZXMSG 5200 can support self-switch so that
subscribes in the same ZXMSG 5200 can communicate. When the connection to
MGC is recovered, the ZXMSG 5200 can automatically register to MGC to restore
normal state.

6 Operation and Maintenance

The ZXMSG 5200 provides a rich set of commands for convenient operation. There are
two methods for operating and maintaining the equipment:
 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
 Command Line Interface (CLI)
EMS provides Graphical User Interface (GUI) access, and CLI provides command line
access to the ZXMSG 5200.
6.1 GUI
ZTE develops the NetNumen™ U31 Integrated Element Management System that
adopts the advanced EMS architecture, provides a complete set of Java-based
trans-platform development tools, modules and APIs. As a highly customized,
carrier-class, trans-platform integrated EMS with the bottom-to-up design, the
NetNumen™ U31 can be easily integrated with multiple third-party systems, and
provides a comprehensive solution for network management purpose. ZTE owns the
complete intellectual property of this NetNumen™ U31 system, and has adopted multiple
patent technologies to improve its functions. As required, the system can fast, flexibly,
conveniently and economically manage different NEs, bringing about good social and
economic benefits for the operators. Its flexible expandability ensures smooth system
upgrade during system expansion or during addition of new network equipment so that it
has the minimum impact on the existing system.
The NetNumen™ U31 EMS is an integrated EMS that currently manages different data
equipment of ZTE in the backbone layer, the convergence layer, and the access layer.
6.1.1 EMS Functions
NetNumen™ U31 has the following functions: topology, configuration, fault, performance,
security, policy, statistics and report, etc.

6.1.1.1 Network topology management
NetNumen™ U31 system topology management includes physical topology and logical
topology. It supervises management devices running status through network topology
and displays the whole network topology in multi-level and multi-layer hierarchy
6.1.1.2 Configuration management
NetNumen™ U31 EMS provides unified configuration management port for equipment
commission and service distribution in process of OAM. The related attributes of the
equipment and the services can be configured so as to put the network into operation
and launch such services.
6.1.1.3 Monitoring of the rack state
 Monitoring of the operation state of NEs (including racks, cards and ports) for vivid
and detailed location of the fault sources
 Support for navigation of other management functions (for example, different

configuration functions) via the rack diagram
6.1.1.4 Fault management
Through fault management the equipment alarms reported by all NEs of the entire
network and the network event reports can be received and presented to the
maintenance staff in real time in the visible and audible form, so that the maintenance
staff can confirm and process such alarms and network event reports and store the
collected alarm reports in the database for alarm statistics and query.
6.1.1.5 Performance management
The performance management module monitors and analyzes the performance of the
network and equipment. It collects performance data from the NEs and generates
performance reports after processing them, so as to provide information for the
maintenance and management departments and guide the network engineering,
planning and adjustment for improving the operation quality of the whole network.

6.1.1.6 Security management
Security management is to manage subscribers and roles, to allocate operation

privileges and management objects to roles. A role set contains multiple roles. Roles or
role sets can be allocated to different subscribers. The subscriber and role management
facilitates security control for subscriber operation. It can prevent unauthorized
subscribers from accessing the system by login authenticating or implement security
control for operators by authorizing.
6.1.1.7 Policy management
Users can customize a policy implement time and period through creating or modifying
the policy. When the configured time is arriving, the system will initiate the policy. A policy
can be a timing policy or a periodic policy. Users can implement a policy or cancel a
policy.
6.1.1.8 Statistics and Report management
Report management enables to accomplish data collection and management in all levels
of management centers and output various formats of report. Users can configure to
create a report in format of report template provided by the system and output it to a
printer in EXCEL or PDF type.
6.2 CLI
CLI is another mechanism for interacting with the ZXMSG 5200 by typing commands to
perform specific tasks. Operators can type in a command on a specified line, receive a
response back from the ZXMSG 5200, and then enter another command, and so forth.
The CLI of the ZXMSG 5200 has two login modes and four user modes.
6.2.1 Login Modes
CLI has two login modes: HyperTerminal and Telnet.
HyperTerminal provides a convenient way of logging into the ZXMSG 5200. The ZXMSG

5200 comes with a cross-over serial port cable for accessing HyperTerminal.
Telnet is another simple way to access the ZXMSG 5200. Out-band management uses
maintenance port on main control card and in-band management uses service uplink
traffic channel.
6.2.2 User Modes
The ZXMSG 5200 supports the following access modes:
 Common User Mode
Common user mode provides the least set of privileges and allows execution of most
common commands. Usually, a command able to be executed in Common User Mode is
necessarily also available (for execution) in higher modes. This command manual
specifies the least-privileged mode for command execution.
 Management Mode
Management mode provides management operations. Management mode provides

higher level of privileges than Common User Mode. Management mode is divided into
following two sub-modes:
 Super Mode
Super Mode is the mode with all privileges. All commands can be executed under Super
Mode.
 Debug Mode
Debug Mode is used for debugging and troubleshooting purpose.

R2 is a signalling protocol used outside of the former Bell System to convey information
along a telephone trunk between two telephone switches in order to establish a single
telephone call along that trunk.
The ZXMSG 5200 supports R2 packet application. Figure 7-8 shows the ZXMSG 5200
R2 packet application in NGN network.

Figure 7-8 ZXMSG 5200 R2 packet application in NGN network
In this application, the ZXMSG 5200 connects to the R2 PBX through E1 port and
interacts with the PBX through R2 signaling. The ZXMSG 5200 divides R2 signaling into
packets through H.248, and then sends the packets to the MGC. The ZXMSG 5200
provides PBX services under the control of MGC.
