1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. On
the equipment housing is a label showing the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN). If requested, provide this information to the telephone company.
2. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue your service. If possible, advance notification is given; otherwise, notification is given
as soon as possible. The telephone company will advise the customer of the right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

compatible modular jack, which is complaint with Part 68 and requirements adopted by ACTA.
7. The following information may be required when applying to your local telephone company for
leased line facilities.
8. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone
line and still have all of those devices ring when the number is called. Excessive RENs on the
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices
that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company.

AT LA S
The Octal/Quad FXO Option Modules provide eight or four analog voice-grade interfaces. Each interface
supports loop-start and ground-start operation. Applications include termination of analog PSTN trunks
and connections to PBX station-side interfaces (Off Premise Extension – OPX).
Octal E&M Option Module (P/N 1200313L1)
The Octal E&M Option Module provides eight analog voice-grade interfaces (2-wire or 4-wire) for use as

cable (P/N 1200348L1) is also available.)
NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Option Module (P/N 1200346L2)
The NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Option Module aggregates bandwidth of up to eight T1s (four T1s from the built-in
module interfaces and four from other installed T1 interfaces) into a single logical channel on the HSSI
interface or the V.35 interface (using an optional adapter cable). The NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Option Module
supports point-to-point T1 applications only. Any of the four built-in T1 ports of the NxT1 HSSI/V.35
Option Module can provide timing for the ATLAS 550 system.
The Octal Ethernet Switch Option Module provides eight interfaces that can operate as 10BaseT or
100BaseTX. Each interface uses auto-negotiation to support Ethernet traffic at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps,
half-duplex or full-duplex. Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover is provided to simplify LAN connections.
Resource Host Module (P/N 1200324L1)
The Resource Host Module provides an inexpensive way to use a desired plug-on resource module, such as
the Voice Compression Module. This module has no other functionality except to act as the base for the
plug-on resource modules.
The Voice Compression Module (VCOM Module) combines with other ATLAS 550 components to
implement Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR). The Voice Compression Resource Modules support 4, 8, 16,
or 24 simultaneous compressed calls using G.723.1 or Netcoder compression algorithms.
32 Channel ADPCM Resource Module (P/N 1200752L1)
