    Description
    MR phpcm000734
    		  MVL Japan Requirements: 

    • Needed to add two fields to the port configuration screen to 
       allow additional DSP straps to be set. 

    • The value strapped in the DSP for 10 dB for on and off hook 
       transmit power was changed from 0x5030 to 0x4778 in order 
       to meet ADSL PSD compliance. 

    • On-Hook Voltage Drop Threshold values are now available as 
       0 and 6 volts for the CO. 34 & Max volts for the endpoints. 

    The combination values are as follows: 
          0 volts on the CO and Max volts on the endpoint 
          are used to create an always off-hook condition. 

          0 volts on the CO and 34 volts on the endpoint 
          is used when there is a DC Blocking CAP CO Filter 
          at the CO. 

          6 volts on the CO and 34 volts on the endpoint 
          is used when there is no DC Blocking CAP CO Filter 
          at the CO. 

    These are the default values: 
          6 volts on the CO and Max volts on the endpoint 
           is an invalid combination.
  1. Hardware Co-Requirements

    2.  

     

    For proper operation with an 88xx/86xx DSLAM, this release requires an 8000 IP Conservative MCC, MCC Plus, or MCP with appropriate firmware:
     
    Card Type CCA # DSLAM
    8312 MVL 12 Port Card 868-3426-8201, Rev .80A 8610 and 8820
    8314 MVL 12 Port Card 868-4427-8000, Rev 80A 8820, 8620
    8000 IP Conservative MCC 868-1010-81xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) 8600, 8800, 8810
    8000 IP Conservative MCC Plus 868-3882-80xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) 8600, 8800, 8810
    8000 IP Conservative MCP 868-3883-80xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) 8610, 8820, 8620

  1. Software Co-Requirements
     
    Card Type CCA # Minimum Firmware Requirements
    8312 MVL 12 Port Card 868-3426-8201, Rev .80A 04.00.38** or greater
    8314 MVL 12 Port Card 868-4427-8000, Rev 80A 04.00.38** or greater
    8000 IP Conservative MCC 868-1010-81xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) M04.00.38 or greater
    8000 IP Conservative MCC Plus 868-3882-80xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) M04.00.38  or greater
    8000 IP Conservative MCP 868-3883-80xx (xx = 00, 01, 02, …) M04.00.38 or greater
        **Note: The port card must be Rel. 4.2.29 to have the ability to configure On-Hook Voltage Drop Threshold values.
 
  1. Compatibility With Other Released Models
• 6310-A1 RTUs should not be used in a multi-point configuration on 8312 MVL line cards.

• 6310-A2 and 6310-A3 RTUs can be used in a multi-point configuration and can be mixed (i.e. , user can utilize -A2s and -A3s multi-dropped on the same port.)

• If loop length is greater that 8k better performance is achieved if there is at least one -A3 endpoint in the configuration.
 
 

NOTE: Do not load this firmware in an 6310-A1 or 6310-A2 modem.
