摘要： In access multiplexers (1) comprising network interfaces (22) for interfacing network links (12) with network units (2) and comprising customer interfaces (23-25) for interfacing customer links (13-15) with customer units (3-5) and comprising coupling means (31) for coupling the interfaces (22-25), allocating means (32) are introduced for allocating Medium Access Control addresses to Internet Protocol sessions and controlling means (30) are introduced for controlling the access multiplexers (1) in dependence of allocations, for increasing efficiencies. The customer units (3-5) form part of one subnet (10). The network links (12) comprise Ethernet connections defined by Virtual Local Area Network tags per subnet (10). The allocating means (32) comprise relating means (33) for relating combinations of Virtual Local Area Network tags and Medium Access Control addresses to session identifications of the Internet Protocol sessions, with the allocations comprising relationships. The customer links (13-15) comprise Asynchronous Transfer Mode connections or Ethernet connections.

摘要： Distributed communication equipment architectures and techniques are disclosed. A host system includes an expansion unit through which control information and communication traffic may be exchanged with an expansion system. The expansion system is thereby controllable by a controller at the host system, significantly simplifying the design and reducing the cost of the expansion system. The expansion unit for a host system may also provide one or more configurable communication link interfaces. Each configurable interface may be independently configured as a network-side interface for connection to upstream communication equipment or as an access-side expansion interface for connection to an expansion system, allowing provisioning of network and access interfaces at the host system as needed.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for providing remote control and control redundancy for distributed communication equipment are disclosed. An expansion system in a distributed communication equipment architecture is controlled by a controller in a host system. Control information is exchanged between the host system controller and an expansion system in communication signals that are processed by one or more communication modules such as line termination cards in the expansion system. Communication signals are transferred to the communication module(s) through an expansion system control device, and control information is then transferred back to the control device. Control information may also be transferred from the expansion system control device to the host system through the communication module(s). This simplifies the design and lowers the cost of the control device, which does not process received signals. Control redundancy is provided in some embodiments by implementing multiple communication modules and corresponding communication links.
