Canadian Equipment Limitations

The Industry Canada Certification label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's
satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facil­ities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an accept­able method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension
cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions maynot prevent deg­radation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility desig­nated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power util­ity, telephone lines and internal metallic waterpipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspectionauthority, or an electrician,as appropriate.

The Load Nu mber (LN) assigned to e ach terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be
connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination
on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the equipment that the total of the
LNs of all devices does not exceed 100.

The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal adapter is usedto determine the total
number of devices that may be connected to each circuit. The sum of the RENs from all devices in the
circuit should not exceed a total of 5.0.

The Frame Relay/Router features enable the Access Router to act as a voice/
dataFRAD, a framerelayswitch,andanIProuter in addition toacting asan
available bandwidth manager and a switch application.

Frame Relay

Frame relay is a packet-switched service that allows efficient transfer of
bursty traffic in a WAN environment. It offers lower-cost data transfer
when compared to typical point-to-point applications. Using virtual con­nections within the frame relay network and combining those into a single
physical connection at each location result in lower cost. Frame relay pro­vidersuseaframerelayswitchtoroutethedataoneachvirtualcircuitto
the appropriate destination. Figures 1-1 and 1-2 illustrate a conversion from
a typical point-to-point application to a frame relayapplication.

The ATLAS 550 router uses theEthernet port to transmit local area network
(LAN) traffic over the wide area network (WAN) to a remote LAN. By inte­grating the router into the network access device, you benefit from the cost
savings of not requiring an external router. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3 illus­trate a conversion from an application with external routers to one using
integral routers within ADTRAN products.

Figure 1-3. Frame Relay Circuit with Internal Routers

The ATLAS 550 includes an advanced access architecture for switching
dialup calls to specific ports or DS0s. As an access switch functioning in
user-to-user network and user-to-user mode, ATLAS 550 consolidates
multiple basic rate ISDN (BRI) connections onto T1/PRI access lines.
Additionally, BRI-to-BRI, BRI-to-PRI, and PRI-to-PRI switching are
supported. T he ATLAS 550 also converts between ISDN D channel (PRI or

61200305L1-1 ATLAS 550 User Manual 1-3

Chapter 1. Introduction

BRI) and T1 Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) giving you the flexibility to get the
speed and reliability of ISDN, while preserving your investment in non­ISDN equipment. AMI and B8ZS line coding provides interoperability with
legacy equipment (see Figure 1-4 ). For network optimization, when
bandwidthis not being used for switched applications such as video
conferencing, switched connection mapping dynamically allocates
bandwidth to the PBX for voice traffic. Call Filtering allows you to program
the call types that will be answered and/or originated on a per-user basis.

The following sections describe additional applications using the ATLAS

550.

Dedicated and Switched Connection Maps in a Single Platform

The ATLAS550allocatesdedicatedbandwidthaccordingto any of up tofive
unique connection maps. Any DS0 on any T1 circuit can be mapped to any
other DS0 on up to four T1 circuits in the system. Dedicated connection
maps can be manually invoked or automatically implemented based on the
time of day and day of the week.

Additionally, the ATLAS 550 can be configured to switch dialup callsto spe­cific ports or DS0s based on the number that is dialed. Switched connection
mapping is supported fordialupcallsplacedoveranalog/digitalvoicebasic
rate ISDN (BRI) or primary rate ISDN (PRI).

WAN Overbooking

The WAN Overbooking feature of the ATLAS 550 allows you to oversub­scribe switched bandwidth for situations where simultaneous access to the
network by every subscriber is not required. WAN Overbooking reduces
telecommunications expenses while still giving your subscriber base the re­quired connectivity. Local subscriber-to-subscriber connections are made
without accessing the network at all, resulting in even more efficient use of
wide area bandwidth.

Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)

Inherent in the ATLAS 550 architecture is the ability to cross connect, or
DACS, four T1circuits. DACSing allows the assignment and redistribution,
orgrooming,ofany DS0onanyT1 circuitto any otherDS0 onanyof thefour
T1 circuits in the system. For optimizing network resources,any of five ded­icated connection maps can be invoked manually or automatically, based on
thetimeofdayanddayoftheweek.

Flexible Network Management and Maintainability

Several network management methods are available for the ATLAS 550, in­cluding SNMPsupport.VT-100and Telnet are also offered,provingdetailed
system configuration through an easy-to-use menu system. The terminal in­terface is secured bysix levels of password protection with varying degrees
of management privileges. The terminal interface is accessed locally or re­motely by using either the controlport, the CRAFT port, or the Ethernet in­terface. The Ethernet interface on the Base Unit provides a connection at
10 MBS or 100 MBS.

Userconfigurations can bepreservedinnonvolatilememoryandduplicated
for managing multiple ATLAS 550 implementations. ATLAS 550 also sup­ports flash upgrades for future enhancements. You can remotely download
software using TFTP or XMODEM.

The ATLAS 550 front panel contains an extensive array of LEDs for alarm
and status information pertaining to thesystemandtheindividualmodules.

Several test capabilities allow you to diagnose the health of your T1, PRI, or
BRI circuits without additional test equipment. Tests include local, remote,
and V.54 loopbacks usingthe511,QRSS,allzeros,andallonestestpatterns.
StandardBantamtestjackslocated on the ATLAS 550 networkmodulesalso
allow you to use external test equipment to monitor traffic.

Operation

OVERVIEW

To fully operate the ATLAS 550, you must connect to theterminalmenusus­ing VT-100 terminal emulation or a Telnet session. The following sections
provide an overview of these methods of operating the ATLAS 550.

USING THE TERMINAL MENUS

The terminal menu provides the primary means of monitoring and config­uring the ATLAS 550. The terminal menu interface uses the full capabilities
of the VT-100 terminal to provide the quickest and most intuitive operation
possible. (AccesstheterminalmenubyusingaVT-100 terminal or acomput­er running VT-100 terminal-emulation software.) To receive the full benefit
of the terminal menu interface, you should use a fully VT-100compatible cli­ent. TheADTRANUtilitiesfloppydisks (thatyoucan install onaPC)contain
both a VT-100 client and a customized Telnet program. See ADTRAN Utili-
ties on page 14-1 for details on the available programs.

The three basic connection methods supported by the ATLAS 550 are a di­rect connection through the EIA-232 Control/Chain In port (located on the
rear panel),adirectconnectionthroughthe EIA-232CRAFTport(locatedon
the front panel), and a Telnet session. The following sections describe using
VT-100 terminal emulation (for either of the two EIA-232 ports) and estab­lishing a Telnet session.

Using VT-100 Terminal Emulation

You can accessthe ATLAS 550 terminalmenu, using VT-100 terminal emu­lation, from either the Control/Chain In port on the rear panel or the CRAFT
port on the front panel. Both of theseportsprovidean EIA-232 serial connec­tion. The following Step/Action table provides instructions for setting up
the ATLAS 550 for VT-100 terminal mode.

USING TELNET

Starting a Telnet Session

Chapter 3. Operation

To connect to the ATLAS 550 via Telnet, you must define the IP address, set
the subnet mask, and, typically, set the default gateway IP address.

You must define the IP address before attempting to connect via
Telnet. See Using VT-100 Terminal Emulation on page 3-1 for
details on defining the IP address.

You will need a default gateway if the LAN contains multiple
segments. Contact your LAN administrator for the appropriate
address.

When you begin the Telnet session, you will be prompted for a password.
The default password is password (which is a Level 0 superuser password).
You can change this password using the A

CCESSPASSWORDS

option, which
is only accessible through theterminal menus. See AccessPasswordson page
6-15 for details. The Telnet session will time out and display the Login
prompt after apredefinedtimethatissetinthe S

ESSIONTIMEOUT

option(see

Session Timeout on page 6-9 for details).

Use the MAXT

ELNETSESSIONS

option to define the number of
Telnet sessions that can be active at one time (see Max Telnet
Sessions on page 6-9 for details).

Microsoft Telnet version 1.0 does not implement full VT-100
emulation. However, many commercial Telnet clients for Microsoft
Windows exist which fully implement VT-100. In addition, a
freeware client, recommended foroptimum performance, comes with
the ATLAS 550. See VT-100 Utility on page 14-8 for details.

Flash memory—including the ATLAS 550 system controller.

The first transfer method uses the ATLA S550 serial Control/Chain In port
of the system controller and XMODEM protocol. For detailed information
onhowtoupdatefirmwareusingthismethod,seeXMODEM Firmware Up-
dates on page 12-1.

The second transfer method uses the ATLAS 550 built-in Ethernet port of the

Packet Manager

OVERVIEW

ACKETMANAGER

The P
points. A packet endpoint is a virtual port within the ATLAS 550 into which
aspecifiedphysical port (a T1 or an Nx56/64) terminates its data for further
routing by the system. All packet services, including the ATLAS 550 frame
relay, must have defined packet endpoints.

Your frame relay provider furnishes specific information on defining the
packet endpoint. This information includes signaling type (Annex A,
Annex D, or LMI) and definitions for all active PVCs. The P
submenu map connects protocols from packet endpoint to packet endpoint.

In addition to defining packet endpoints, you must also configure the phys­ical port before it can run frame relay (see also Chapter 10, Dedicated Maps
and Chapter 11, Dial Plan).
