NANT-A
General Description
The NANT-A contains the control functions of the ISAM 7302 FD and 7330 FD. It
handles the xDSL, the chassis and the switching data path.
The NANT-A provides management interfaces (LCMI and LEMI) to the outside world
and control interfaces towards other subsystems (LT board, NT I/O board). Figure 1
shows the position of the NANT-A in the system.

MCSD
The Master Clock-Synchronization and -Distribution (MSCD) provides a
HW-stuffable interface and synchronization circuitry (Generic Equipment Timing
Source (GETS)) to lock the ISAM system clock onto a very accurate received BITS
reference timing signal. This ISAM system clock reference will be forwarded to all
LT boards within the same ISAM subrack.
ACU
The Alarm Control Unit (ACU) provides all the necessary alarm control and interface
circuitry for accumulating system alarms, driving relay contacts for alarm outputs and
provisioning visual alarm indications.
CISC
The Centralized ISAM System Controller (CISC) provides all the On-Board
Controller (OBC) functions:

NUTS
The Network/User Transport and Switching (NUTS) provides the interface and
switching circuitry for the front and back related uplink/network interfaces to/from
the LT slots.
PSIM
The Power Supply Interface Module (PSIM) converts the rack power supply into all
necessary voltages as required by the used components.
FIM
The Frontplate Interface Module (FIM) at the front stiffener holds some physical
interface connectors, a button and some LEDs.
BIM
The Backplane Interface Module (BIM) constitutes all the necessary control,
management, and data plane related interfaces.

Port LEDs
Table 3 gives the definitions of the port LEDS on the NANT-A.
The LEDs for the RJ45 port are embedded in the RJ45 connector and indicate the speed
and the link/activity status. These LEDs will be turned off if the respective combo SFP
port is working.
Each SFP port has a respective single LED associated with it to visualize the link and
activity status.
