Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services -- Part 7-2: Hybrid Fibre Coax Outside Plant Status Monitoring - Media access Control (MAC) Layer Specification

Specifies requirements for The Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) Outside Plant (OSP) Media Access Control (MAC) Layer. This standard is part of the series developed to support the design and implementation of interoperable management systems for evolving HFC cable networks. The HMS Media Access Control (MAC) layer specification describes the messaging and protocols implemented at the Data Link Layer (DLL), layer 2 in the 7 layer ISO-OSI reference model, that support reliable and efficient communications between HMS compliant transponders interfacing to managed OSP network elements (NEs) and a centralized head-end element (HE).

Overview

EN 60728-7-2:2005 (adopted from IEC 60728-7-2:2003) specifies the Media Access Control (MAC) layer requirements for status monitoring of Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) Outside Plant (OSP). Part of the EN 60728 series for cable networks, this standard defines messaging and data-link layer protocols that enable reliable communications between HMS-compliant transponders, managed OSP network elements (NEs) and a centralized head-end (HE). It supports interoperable management systems for evolving HFC cable networks used for television, audio and interactive services.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose: Defines MAC-layer behaviour for OSP status monitoring within HFC networks to support interoperable management and monitoring.
• Data Link Layer (Layer 2): Describes messaging formats, frame handling and protocol interactions at the ISO-OSI layer 2 for HMS (Head-end Management System) communications.
• HMS Interoperability: Requirements to ensure reliable communication between transponders, network elements and head-end systems for status and fault reporting.
• Protocol Reliability: Elements that support robust, efficient transfer of status and control messages across the HFC outside plant.
• Standardization Context: Aligned with IEC 60728-7-2:2003 and incorporated into the CENELEC/CLC portfolio for national adoption.

Applications

• Network monitoring and OSP status reporting in HFC cable networks
• Designing and implementing HMS-compliant transponders and head-end elements
• Integrating OSP fault detection and telemetry with Network Management Systems (NMS)
• Enabling remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance and condition monitoring of outside plant components
• Ensuring multi-vendor interoperability across HFC deployments for cable operators

Who Should Use This Standard

• Cable network operators and service providers managing HFC Outside Plant
• Equipment manufacturers designing MAC-layer firmware for transponders and network elements
• System integrators and software developers building head-end management and OSS/NMS solutions
• Standards bodies and test labs validating compliance and interoperability

Related Standards

• IEC 60728-7-2:2003 (original international text)
• Other parts of the EN 60728 series covering cable networks, system interfaces and network management (refer to national CENELEC/CLC publications for exact cross-references)
