61200180L1-1ATLAS 800 User Manual1-1
Chapter 1. Introducing the ATLAS 800
Dedicated and Switched Connection Maps in a Single Platform
The ATLAS_800 allocates dedicated bandwidth as directed by any of up to
five unique connection maps. You can map any DS0 on any T1 circuit to any
other DS0 on up to 34 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, you can configure the ATLAS_800 to switch dialup calls to
specific ports or DS0s based on the number dialed. The ATLAS_800
supports switched connection mapping for dial calls placed over Basic Rate
ISDN (BRI), Primary Rate ISDN (PRI), or channelized T1 circuits.
Signaling Conversion for Maximum Interoperability
The ATLAS_800 converts between robbed bit signaling (RBS) and ISDN
D channel signaling, giving you the speed and reliability of ISDN while preserving your investment in non-ISDN equipment. ATLAS also converts between D4 and ESF frame formats as well as AMI and B8ZS line coding,
providing interoperability with legacy equipment.
Flexible Network Management and Maintainability
You can select from a variety of network management metho ds, including
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support, VT-100 terminal
emulation, and Telnet sessions. VT-100 termin al emulation and Telnet sessions provide detailed system configuration through an easy-to-use menu
system. Six levels of password protection with varyin g degrees of management privileges secure the terminal interface. You can access the terminal interface locally or remotely using either the EIA-232 Chain-In port on the rear
of the Base Unit or the Telnet interface. The 10BaseT Ethernet interface on the
Base Unit provides an Ethernet connection for SNMP and Telnet connections.
In addition, you can use T-Watch PRO, ADTRAN’s Microsoft
®
Windows™
based GUI management system, which provides end-to-end management
for downstream ADTRAN T1 products. Nonvolatile memory preserves and
duplicates user configurations for managing multiple ATLAS implementations. ATLAS also supports flash upgrades for future enhancements. You
can download software remotely using TFTP or XMODEM.
You can also use the front panel to manage the ATLAS_800. The front panel
contains a 2x16 character backlit LCD display and an extensive array of
LEDs for alarm and status information pertaining to the system and the individual modules. The Front Panel keypad allows y ou to na vigate through
the menu system and to access system testing.
Several internal test capabilities allow you to diagnose the health of your T1,
PRI, or BRI circuits without additional test equipment, although standard
Bantam test jacks located on the rear panel allow you to use external test
equipment to monitor traffic. Internal tests include local, remote, and V.54
loopbacks utilizing the 511, QRSS, all zeros, and all ones test patterns.

Chapter 1. Introducing the ATLAS 800
Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)
Inherent in the ATLAS_800 architecture is the ability to cross connect, or
DACS, up to 34 T1 circuits (see Figure 1-1). DACSing assigns and redistributes, or grooms, any DS0 on any T1 circuit to any other DS0 on any of the 34
T1 circuits in the system. To optimize network resources, any of five dedicated connection maps can be invoked manually or automatically based on
the time of day and day of the week.
Figure 1-1. Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)
T1 Bandwidth Manager
As a T1 bandwidth manager, ATLAS_800 combines the functions of a T1
CSU/DSU, an intelligent cha nnel bank, a T1 multiplexer and DACS into a
single platform (see Figure 1-2). The bandwidth manager supports a wide
range of data applications including T1 “drop and insert,” channel grooming, and wide area data transport. ATLAS is ideal for point-to-point configurations or for access to public networks. To optim ize existing equipment
and network resources, you can pair ATLAS with ADTRAN’s TSU products
to support a variety of data and analog voice applications.

ISDN Access Switch
The ATLAS_800 includes an advanced access architecture for switching
dial-up calls to specific ports or DS0s. As an access switch fu nctioning in a
user-to-user network and user-to-user mode, ATLAS consolidates multiple
BRI connections onto T1/PRI access lines. Additionally, ATLAS supports
BRI-to-BRI, BRI-to-PRI, and PRI-to-PRI switching. ATLAS also converts between ISDN D channel (PRI or BRI) and T1 RBS, allowing a non-ISDN PBX
to access a more efficient ISDN facility. When bandwidth is unused for
switched applications such as video conferencing, switched connection
mapping dynamic ally allo cates band width t o the PBX f or voice traffic t o optimize the network. Call Filtering all ows you to program the call types answered or originated on a per-user basis.
Wide Area Network (WAN) Overbooking
ATLAS_800’s WAN Overbooking feature allows you to oversubscribe
switched bandwidth for situations where simultaneous access to the network by every subscriber is not required (see Figure 1-3). WAN Overbooking reduces telecommunications expenses while still giving your subscriber
base the connectivity they require. Local subscriber-to-subscriber connections are made without accessing the network at all, resulting in even more
efficient use of wide-area bandwidth.

METHODS OF OPERATING THE ATLAS 800
You can access basic setup functions from the ATLAS_800 Front Panel.
However, to access all of the ATLAS_800 functions, set up a Telnet session
or use VT-100 terminal emulation and use the terminal menu. In addition,
T-Watch PRO provides limited configuration control. The following sections
provide an overview of these methods of operating the ATLAS_800. After
deciding how you want to operate the ATLAS_800, you will be ready to
configure the unit.
USING THE FRONT PANEL
With the ATLAS_800 powered-up, the Front Panel LCD window displays
four menu items (see Figure 3-1). To select a menu item, either press the corresponding number on the Front Panel keypad or press the Front Panel up
and down arrows to scroll to the menu selection. For detailed information
about the commands available through the Front Panel menus, see Front Panel Main Menu on page 4-6.

USING THE TERMINAL MENU
The terminal menu provides a primary means of monitoring and configuring the ATLAS_800. The terminal menu interface uses the full capabilities of
the VT-100 terminal to provide the quickest and most intuitive operation
possible. To receive the full benefit of the terminal menu interface, you
should use a fully VT-100 compatible client. The ADTRAN Utilities floppy
disks contain both a VT-100 client and a customized Telnet program (install
these on a PC). See ADTRAN Utilities on page 12-1 for details on the available programs. You can access the terminal menu using a VT-100 terminal
or a computer running VT-100 terminal-emulation software.

Write security: 1; Read security: 5
Updates firmware when ATLAS_800 enhancements are released. Two
transfer methods are available for use in updating any modules that contain
Flash memory—including the ATLAS system controller.
The first transfer method uses the ATLAS serial Chain-In port of the system
controller and XMODEM protocol. For detailed information on how to update firmware using this method, see on page 10-1.
Chapter 6. Terminal Menu and System Control
The second transfer method uses the ATLAS built-in Ethernet port of the
system controller and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). For detailed information on how to update firmware using this method, see TFTP Firmware

equipment (PBX) contain different signaling bit states.
For this example, assume voice traffic is received on T1-A, and T1-B is
groomed onto T1-C to the PBX (see Figure 8-2). If T1-A f ails, the DS0s which

EXAMPLE 2CREATING A DEDICATED MAP
A Dedicated Map defines connections for dedicated bandwidth between
ports, and grooms and cross-connects bandwidth between T1 ports. Any
ATLAS port supporting dedicated bandwidth can be mapped to any other
port supporting dedicated bandwidth (see the example in Figure 8-3).
T1-A:
DS0 1-8 Voice; DS0 9-24 Data
T1-B:
DS0 1-8 Voice; DS0 9-24 Data
T1-C:
DS0 1-8 Voice; DS0 9-24 Data
ATLAS 800
Figure 8-3. Dedicated Map Overview Example
The example shown in Figure 8-3 contains three T1s (T1-A, T1-B, T1-C) supporting dedicated bandwidth from three remote sites. Each T1 includes
DS0s for data and voice. At the central site (ATLAS), each incoming DS0 carrying data is mapped to a separate V.35 port and connected to the router.
DS0s carrying voice are collected together (groomed) and sent to the PBX
over a single T1 (T1-D).

In designing a Dedicated Map, you must first determine what connections
to make and which ports to involve. (For T1 ports, you must also decide
which DS0s to use). Then, you must configure the ports. Fin ally, you must
define the appropriate connections. The remainder of this chapte r provides
step-by-step procedures for creating a sample Dedicated Map based on the
connections and ports given in Table 8-1.

Search
Normally all searches are set to Primary. For example, all
long distance calls should go out a PRI directly to an IXC
(MCI, ATT, etc.) and local calls should go out a T1 to the
LEC. It may be desirable to place long distance calls on the
local exchange if all of the IXC trunks are unavailable (busy
or in alarm). In this case, the primary Accept Number for
the local exchange would be N$, and the secondary Accept
Number would be 1$.

Pri-
Reflects the bearer capability the Network has provisioned for this line. If the
ISDN lines were purchased with different services provisioned, th en ATLAS
would send the call out of the port which supports the type of service the call
requires.
For example, say the Network Termination is on a pair of BRIs (with the
same phone number) with one provisioned for data and the other for voice.
By enabling data in one and not the other, ATLAS ensures that calls bearing
data will be sent out the correct BRI interface.

For example, 1- 900-$ would reject all 1-900 long distance calls, and 1-$

Defines to ATLAS the order in which to search for an Accept Number
match.
Primary
Search
Normally all searches are set to Primary. However, if all Primary end points are unavailable, then the Secon dary search
selection will be used to force ATLAS to only accept a call at
this end point.
For example, all long distance calls should go out a PRI directly to an IXC (MCI, ATT, etc.) and local calls should go
out a T1 to the LEC. It may be desirable to place long distance calls on the local exchange if all of the IXC trunks are
unavailable (busy or in alarm). In this case, the primary accept number for the local exchange would be N$, and the
secondary accept would be 1$.

The same accept rules apply for all secondary number
searches as for primary searches.
