Abstract

An access device, a system and a method for implementing service configuration are disclosed. The method includes: identifying, by an access device AN, an operation mode of a CPE according to a result of a handshake negotiation performed between the line port of the access device CN and the CPE, and selecting a corresponding preset service template according to the operation mode of the CPE, and then configuring the line port according to the service template selected, thereby implementing the self adaptation of the ATM mode and PTM mode of the CPE. With the technical solution of the invention, when VDSL2service is provided, the service may automatically access subscribers of ADSL ATM mode and subscribers of VDSL PTM mode simultaneously, and an automatic configuration and management may be realized for all the service configurations in different modes, and thus the operation complexity may be simplified, and the operation cost may be lowered.

Claims

1. An access device, comprising:

a physical line module, a service template management module and a service configuration module, wherein;

the physical line module is configured to identify an operation mode of a subscriber premise device (CPE) and report an identification result to the service template management module;

the service template management module is configured to select a corresponding service template according to the identification result and notify the service configuration module of an selection result; and

the service configuration module is configured to configure a corresponding line port according to the selected service template.

2. The access device according to claim 1, wherein the physical line module is configured to identify the operation mode of the CPE according to a result of handshake negotiation performed between the physical line module and the CPE.

3. The access device according to claim 2, wherein the service template management module is further configured to predefine service templates, the service templates comprising a service template in ATM mode and a service template in PTM mode.

4. The access device according to claim 1, wherein the physical line module is a Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Loop 2 physical line module.

5. A system for implementing service configuration, comprising a subscriber premise device (CPE) and an access device connected with each other, wherein:

The access device is configured to automatically adapt an operation mode of a subscriber port according to an operation mode of the CPE identified by the access device.

6. The system according to claim 5, wherein the access device comprises a physical line module, a service template management module and a service configuration module, wherein:

the physical line module is configured to identify the operation mode of the CPE and report an identification result to the service template management module;

the service template management module is configured to select a corresponding service template according to the identification result and notify the service configuration module of an selection result; and

the service configuration module is configured to configure a corresponding line port according to the selected service template.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein the access device is configured to perform handshake negotiation with the CPE via the line port and identify the operation mode of the CPE according to a result of the handshake negotiation.

8. The system according to claim 6, wherein the service template management module is further configured to predefine service templates, the service templates comprising a service template in ATM mode and a service template in PTM mode.

9. A method for implementing service configuration, comprising:

identifying an operation mode of a subscriber premise device (CPE);

selecting a corresponding service template according to the identified operation mode of the CPE; and

configuring a subscriber port according to the selected service template.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the identifying of the operation mode of the CPE comprises:

identifying the operation mode of the CPE according to a result of a handshake negotiation performed between a line port of the access device and the CPE.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein after the configuring of the subscriber port, the method further comprises:

determining whether the configuration is successful or times out;

ending the configuration if the configuration times out, and sending a service configuration success message if the service configuration is successful.

12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising:

predefining service templates, wherein the predefined service templates comprise a service template in ATM mode and a service template in PTM mode.
