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

Chapter 1. Introduction
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.

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).
