Conexant and Huawei Develop DSL Management Software

Conexant Systems and Huawei Technologies have developed new remote management software that enables service providers to administer DSL networks from a central location. The software automatically configures the customer premise modem to the correct network parameters as soon as it is activated. This is accomplished by utilizing the simple network management protocol (SNMP) over the existing high-level data link control/embedded operations channel (HDLC/EOC), as opposed to Web-based remote management via data path or dedicated management permanent virtual circuit (PVC). This channel does not require an integrated TCP/IP stack. The companies said a key benefit of their new remote management software is that it is extensible and compatible with all G.997.1-compliant technologies, including ADSL, SHDSL, and VDSL.


China Telecom and China Netcom are currently conducting field trials of the remote management software.
