Chapter 1 Introduction

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ATLAS_800

PLUS

is a modular, highly scalable platform th at provides robust solutions for the wide area communication needs of medium-to-large corporations and network access providers. ATLAS is an Integrated Access System with the most extensive support of dedicated bandwidth management and access switching in the industry.

The ATLAS_800 ATLAS_800

PLUS

is a high performance version of the ATLAS 800. The

PLUS

contains a high-performance CPU, more memory, and powerful communications drivers which allow the support of optional applications such as frame relay.

With the ATLAS 800

PLUS

, you can consolidate your voice, data, and video appli-

cations into a single platform while optimizing wide area bandwidth and reduc-

PLUS

ing equipment costs. The ATLAS_800

architecture and the chassis’ eight expansion slots allow for a variety of modules, making it one of the most versatile access systems on the market. With the appropriate modules installed, the

ATLAS_800

PLUS

functions as follows:

• A Frame Relay Switch

• A Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)

• A T1 Bandwidth Manager

• An ISDN Access Switch

• A Remote Access Manager

ATLAS 800

PLUS

BASE UNIT

The ATLAS_800

PLUS

architecture includes a packet switching and a circuit switching bussing scheme. The result is a highly sca lable system capable of supporting bandwidth requirements up to 34 T1/E1 or Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) circuits. Designed for standalone, rackmo unt, or wallmount installations, the

PLUS

ATLAS_800

Base Unit provides two network interfaces, each independently configurable for T1, DSX-1, or PRI operation. Eight expa nsion slots a ccommodate hot-swappable modules for a variety of applications. A 10BaseT connection for

Frame Relay

The modules include the following:

• Quad Nx 56/64 Module

• Quad T1/PRI Module

• Octal Basic Rate ISDN Module

• T3 Module

• Async-232 Module

• Modem-16 Module

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 results in lower cost. Frame relay providers use a frame relay switch to route the data on each virtual cir cuit to th e a ppropriate destination. Figures 1-1 an d 1-2 illustrate a conversion from a typical point-to-po int application to a frame relay application.

The A TLAS_800 unique connection maps. Any DS0 on any T1 circuit can be mapped to any other DS0 on up to 34 T1 circuits in the system. Dedicated Connection Maps can be invoked manually or implemented automatically based on the time of day and day of the week.

Additionally, the ATLAS_800 cific ports or DS0s based on the number that is dialed. Switched connection mapping is supported for dial calls placed over basic rate ISDN, primary rate ISDN, or channelized T1.

Flexible Network Management and Maintainability

Several network management methods are available for the ATLAS_800

PLUS

, including SNMP support. VT 100 and Telnet are also offered, providing detailed system configuration through an easy-to-use menu system. The terminal interface is secured by six levels of password protection with varying deg r ees of management privileges. The terminal interface is accessed locally or remotely using either the EIA-232 Chain In port on the rear of the unit or the Telnet interface. The 10BaseT interface on the Base Unit provides an Ethernet connection for SNMP and Telnet connections.

Additionally, T-Watch PRO, ADTRAN’s Microsoft

Windows®-based GUI management system can allow end-to-end management with downstream ADTRAN T1 products. User configurations can be preserved in non-volatile memory and duplicated for managing multiple A TLAS implementations. ATLAS also supports FLASH upgrades for future enhancements. You can remotely download software using TFTP or XMODEM.

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. A front panel keypad allows navigation through the menu system and access to system testing.

Several test capabilities allow you to diagnose the health of your T1, PRI, or BRI circuits without additional test equipment. Standard Bantam test jacks located on the rear panel also allow you to use external test equipment to monitor traffic. Tests include local, remote, and V.54 loopbacks utilizing the 511, QRSS, all zeros, and all ones test patterns.

Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS)

Inherent in the ATLAS_800 DACS, up to thirty-four T1 circuits. DACSing allows the assignment and redistribution, or grooming, of any DS0 on any T1 circuit to any other DS0 on any of the thirty-four T1 circuits in the system. For optimizing 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 (see Figure 1-3).

T1 Bandwidth Manager

Chapter 1. Introduction

As a T1 Bandwidth Manager, ATLAS_800

PLUS

combines the functions of a T1 CSU/DSU, an intelligent chann el bank, a T1 Multiplexer, and DACS into a single platform. 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 access to public networks. For optimization of existing equipment and network resources, ATLAS can be paired with ADTRAN’s TSU product offerings to support a variety of data and analog voice applications (see Figure 1-4).

ISDN Access Switch

The ATLAS_800 up calls to specific ports or DS0s. As an access switch functioning in a user-to-user network and user-to-user mode, ATLAS 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. ATLAS also converts between ISDN D channel (PRI or BRI) and T1 robbed bit signaling, allowing a non-ISDN PBX to access a more efficient ISDN facility. For network optimization, when bandwidth is not being used for switched applications such as video conferencing, switched connection mapping dynamically allocates bandwidth to the PB for voice traffic. Call Filtering allows you to program the call types that will be answered and/or originated on a per-user basis.

WAN Overbooking

The WAN Overbooking feature of ATLAS_800 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 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 (see Figure 1-5 on page 1-6).

Trunk Conditioning

Trunk conditioning is a process which sets known values in the signaling bits and the data field for outgoing DS0s which are cross connected to a T1 port which is experiencing alarms (see Figure 5-9). The trunk conditioning process consists of a 2.5-second transmission (indicating call termination), follo wed by a continuous transmission signaling the final condition (Seized or Idle) as chosen by the user.

Trunk conditioning only applies to RBS T1s in the dedicated map.

PBX

ATLAS 800

T1-B

Figure 5-9. Trunk Conditioning

Example:

Voice traffic received on T1-A, and T1-B is groomed onto T1-C to the PBX. If T1-A fails, the DS0s which were cross connected to T1-C would receive trunk conditioning.

Trunk conditioning includes Fault Signaling (setting the state of the signaling bits) and Fault Data Code (setting the state of the data bits). Trunk conditioning can be set for each end of each T1 to T1 connection in a dedicated map. This is simplified by using the copy command (pressing C). The state of the signaling bits will be different for connections to the Network versus connect ions to user equipment (PBX).

Any single digit

This specific number

[1,2,3...]

Example: 1-800-$ would only permit toll free long distance calls to 1-800. If this were used, then a second accept # would need to be specified - NXXXXXX. This would permit local numbers to be dialed.

Any specific entry will take precedence over a wild card. For example, if end point “A” was designated as $ while e nd point “B ” accepte d 963 -800X, then an inc oming call to 963-800X would only be accepted by end point “B”.

Data 64 kbps, Analog, Speech, and Treat Call As

These options reflect the bearer capability the Network has provisioned for this line. If the ISDN lines were purchased with different services provisioned, then ATLAS would send the call out of the port which supports the type of service the call requires.

Example:

The Network Termination is on a pair of BRIs (with the same phone number) with one pr ovisioned for data a nd the oth er fo r voice. By enabling data in on e a nd not the other, ATLAS ensures that calls bearing data will be sent out the right BRI interface.

Primary Search

The Search parameter instructs ATLAS which order to search for an accept number match. Normally all searches are set to Primary. The Secondary search selection would be used to force ATLAS to only accept a call at this end point if all Primary end points were unavailable.

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$, and the s econdary accept woul d be 1$.

Number Type Templates

Write security: 1; Read security: 5 ISDN interfaces require that a number type be sent over the D channel when a call is sent or received. A normal RBS trunk does not send a type designator , but uses prefixes instead. For example, “1 +” prefix is national long distance call type while a “011 +” prefix would be an international long distance call type. These templates form a table to permit ATLAS to translate the RBS prefix into a call type for ISDN and vice- versa. The ATLAS default templates should cover all applications and should not need to be added to by the user except for very rare circumstances.

Automatic Routeback Rejection

Write security: 1; Read security: 5

When enabled, Automatic Routeback Rejection prevents calls which enter through network termination interfaces from being forwarded out another network interface. Such an event could happen if an incoming call specifies a number that has no endpoint configured to accept it and another network interface has a call acceptance entry which could accept it (such as $). Without automatic rejection, such a call would be forwarded back to the Network. The Network would in turn resend the call to the unit until all incoming resources are consumed.

• Multiple end points can have the same Source ID

• When creating the Call Accept list, specify a Source ID(s) as well as a dialed number or range of dialed numbers to accept.

Example:

An application requires that all calls originating from Port 1 of the Qu ad T1/PRI module in Slot 1 be switched to Port 4 of that same module. Assign a unique Source ID (e.g., 7) to Port 1 of the module, and then configure Port 4 to on ly accept calls from that unique Source ID (7).

DID Prefix

Write security: 3; Read security: 5 Defines to ATLAS the pre fix digits which ar e no t re ceived as a pa rt of the D ID number. ATLAS uses the combination of prefix and DID number to determine the User end point that should receive the incoming call. This option only displays if Direct Inward Dialing (DID) is set to Enabled. If DID is Disabled, then you must define the trunk number.

Trunk Number

Write security: 3; Read security: 5 When the Network connection does not provide DID digits, then ATLAS must be given a number to use to determine which user end point should receive the incoming call. This field only displays when Direct Inward Dialing is set to Disabled.

The trunk number must be specific (i.e., no “wild cards”).

Example:

If a certain incoming DS0 (trunk) is meant to connect to an end point

with the accept number of 963-8615, the trunk number would be set to 963-8615.

Strip MSD

Write Security: 3 Read Security: 5 This option allows a selected quantity of the Most Significant Digits (MSD) of a dialed number to be stripped prior to being forwarded out of the port.

Example:

A Network port could be set to accept all calls beginning with 9 (9$), and then with Strip MSD set to 1, all digits would be sent toward the Network except the leading 9.

The Strip MSD parameter does not affect the Call Accept criteria. All of the digits (including the MSDs that are subsequently stripped) are used as accept criteria.

Source ID

The Source ID field is used to si mpl ify the creation of a Dial Plan in applications where the criteria for switching calls to a certain end point is a function of which end point originated the call.

• Default value = 0. The default ID for all end points is 0 and all accept # s is 0. With default values, all calls are routed based only on dialed number.

• Multiple end points can have the same Source ID

• When creating the Call Accept list, specify a Source ID(s) as well as a dialed number or range of dialed numbers to accept.

Example

: An application requires that all calls originating from Port 1 of the Qu ad T1/ PRI module in Slot 1 be switched to Port 4 of that same module. Assign a unique Source ID (e.g., 7) to Port 1 of the module, and then configure Port 4 to only accept calls from that unique Source ID (7).

Strip MSD

Write Security: 3 Read Security: 5 This option allows a selected quantity of the Most Significant Digits (MSD) of a dialed number for ATLAS to be stripped prior to being forwarded out of the port.

Network Specific Facility Voice

Source ID

The Source ID field simplifies the creation of a Dial Plan in applications where the criterion for switching calls to a certain end point is a function of which end point originated the call.

• Default value = 0. The default ID for all end points is 0 and all accept # s is

0. With default values, all calls are routed based only on dialed number.

• Multiple end points can have the same Source ID.

• When creating the Call Accept list, specify a Source ID(s) as well as a dialed

number or range of dialed numbers to accept.

Example:

Swap ANI/DNIS

This option swaps the ANI and DNIS numbers prior to being forwarded to the attached user equipment. ANI (Automatic Number Identifica tion) is the billing number of the calling party, and DNIS (Dialed Number Identification Service) is the called party number.

This swap will occur after the ATLAS switchboard has routed the call. The accept # in the dial plan must use the number in the DNIS position prior to swap ping.
