The MX2800 is an M13 multiplexer that consolidates T1 and E1 signals into a T3 circuit. This unit
provides a cost-effective, versatile tool for combining independent T1s, E1s, or a combination of the two
over the same T3 circuit.
The MX2800 houses two hot-swappable controller cards which provide 1:1 redundancy for the T1 and T3
signals, as well as the T3 connections.
Embedded simple network management protocol (SNMP) and Telnet are available through the modem
port using serial line internet protocol/point-to-point protocol (SLIP/PPP) or through the 10Base-T
Ethernet port. Using the Management Information Base II (MIB II), RFC 1407 standards, and an
ADTRAN enterprise MIB, the MX2800 can be configured, monitored, and diagnosed with standard
SNMP network management programs such as Hewlett Packard’s HP OpenView
Spectrum
®
. In addition, the SysLog Host Daemon allows remote monitoring, collecting, and logging of
MX2800 events in realtime. This information is useful during installation setups and/or troubleshooting.
Complete configuration, loopbacks, and performance monitoring are available through SNMP, Telnet, or a
VT100 terminal interface. This connection can be made via Ethernet, a local EIA-232 link, or through the
built-in V.34 modem. The modem can dial out a “cry for help” for units located in unmanned facilities. The
MX2800 is designed for installation in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack.
™
and Cabletron’s
The major features of the MX2800 are as follows:
• Built-in 1:1 redundancy
• Hot-swappable controller cards
• Independent, dual-load sharing, redundant power supplies
• Embedded SNMP and Telnet management through 10Base-T Ethernet or SLIP/PPP dialup
• Detailed performance monitoring for local and remote units
• Simplified configuration through the VT100 terminal menu structure
• Integrated V.34 modem for dial-up and dial-down access
• Capability of backhauling multiple service types (T1/E1)
•AC or DC power
• Available –48V or 24V power supplies
• External DS3 clock option
• M13 and C-bit signaling support
61200290L1-1G 1-1
Section 1, Product OverviewMX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
• NEBS Level 3 compliant
NOTE
Information regarding the built-in modem applies to the part numbers
4202290L1, 4202290L2, 4202290L3, and 4202290L4.
2.CONTROLLER CARD 1:1 REDUNDANCY
The MX2800 supports two hot-swappable controller cards which provide 1:1 redundancy for the T1 and
T3 signals and connections. With two cards installed, the MX2800 can recover from circuit or network
failure. Refer to Section 7, Circuit and Network Redundancy for more information.
3.T3 OVERVIEW
A T3 provides the same bandwidth as 28 T1s. Typically, leasing a T3 line costs the same as eight to ten
T1s. Using the MX2800, a single T3 can provide internet connectivity and voice (local and long distance)
to individual sites across up to 28 individual DSX-1s. T3 is also extremely cost effective for backhauling
local and long distance voice.
4.SNMP
The MX2800’s embedded SNMP feature allows the unit to be accessed and controlled by a network
manager through the 10Base-T local area network (LAN) port. The MX2800 supports the MIB-II standard,
RFC 1213, and the ADTRAN Enterprise Specific MIB.
NOTE
MIB files are available from ADTRAN in the support section of the
ADTRAN Web page at www.adtran.com.
The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols used to exchange information between the
network management system (NMS) and the managed devices, as well as to the structure of device
management databases. SNMP has three basic components: the network manager, the agent, and the MIB.
Network Manager
The network manager is a set of control programs that collect, control, and present data pertinent to the
operation of the network devices. These programs reside on a network management station.
1-2 61200290L1-1G
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User ManualProduct Overview, Section 1
Agent
The agent is a control program that resides in every network device. This program responds to queries and
commands from the network manager, returns requested information or invokes configuration changes
initiated by the manager, and sends unsolicited traps to the manager.
MIB
An MIB is an industry standard presentation of all status and configuration parameters supported by a
network device.
5.TELNET
Telnet provides a password protected, remote login facility to the MX2800 that allows a remote user to
control the MX2800 through the terminal menus. Only one Telnet menu session may be active at a time.
6.TL1
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is an ASCII-based language that supports both command-response and
autonomous (NE) message generation. Commonly, TL1 is used over an X.25 packet network but is
completely independent of any physical layer protocols. For the MX2800, TL1 is implemented as a Telnet
session running over Ethernet or PPP. Currently, up to eight TL1 Telnet connections can be active at a time.
7.AVAILABLE OPTIONS
The following optional equipment is available for use with the MX2800. Contact a local distributor or the
ADTRAN Sales Department for more information. Refer to Appendix F, Warranty for contact information.
Breakout Panel (P/N 1200291L1)
The optional breakout panel connects to the MX2800 and provides 28 RJ connectors for the individual
T1s/E1s. Shipment includes two six-foot, 64-pin to 64-pin amphenol cables which allow direct cabling to
the MX2800. Refer to Connecting the Breakout Panel on page 2-5 for more information.
E1 Patch Panel (P/N 1200291L5)
