Method, system and access device for implementing service configuration

A method for implementing service configuration, comprising:

• performing, by an access device, a handshake negotiation with a Customer Premise Equipment (CPE);
• identifying, by the access device, via a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection with the CPE through a subscriber port of the access device, an operation mode of the CPE, wherein the operation mode of the CPE can be selectively configured by a Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Loop 2 (VDSL2) physical line module of the access device based on the handshake negotiation, the operation mode of the CPE being one of the group consisting of:
• an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and a Packet Transfer Mode (PTM);
• selecting, by the access device from a set of predefined service templates, a service template corresponding to the identified operation mode of the CPE, wherein the set of predefined service templates comprises an ATM service template and a PTM service template;
• and
• configuring, by the access device, the subscriber port of the access device according to the selected service template.

A system for implementing service configuration, comprising:

• a Customer Premise Equipment (CPE);
• and
• an access device comprising a Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Loop 2 (VDSL2) physical line module a service template management module and a service configuration module;
• wherein the access device is configured to connect to the CPE via a VDSL2 physical line, to identify an operation mode of the CPE by performing a handshake negotiation with the CPE via a subscriber port to predefine an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) service template and a Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) service template to select a service template corresponding to the identified operation mode of the CPE and to configure the subscriber port of the access device according to the selected service template;
• wherein the VDSL2 physical line module is configured to identify the operation mode of the CPE by performing the handshake negotiation with the CPE and to report the operation mode of the CPE to the service template management module, the operation mode of the CPE being one of the group consisting of:
• the ATM and the PTM;
• wherein the service template management module is configured to predefine a service template for ATM and a service template for PTM to select a service template corresponding to the operation mode of the CPE reported by the VDSL2 physical line module and to notify the service configuration module of the selected service template;
• and
• the service configuration module is configured to configure the subscriber port of the access device according to the selected service template.
