Introduction
IMUX-56/64 MODULE OVERVIEW
The IMUX-56/64 Module combines with other ATLAS components to provide a flexible disaster recovery system in the ATLAS Integrated Access System. The IMUX-56/64 Module supports multiple, independent BONDING
sessions with each session having the potential to use a different bandwidth.
The IMUX-56/64 Module can use either 56Kbps or 64Kbps data lines (i.e.,
channels) for any given BONDING session. The IMUX-56/64 Module can
establish a BONDING session using as few as 2 or as many as 32 channels.
Figure 1-1 shows an example application of the IMUX-56/64 Module.

CONFIGURING AN ENDPOINT TO USE BONDING
The manner in which an endpoint is configured to use BONDING is unique
to each type of endpoint. Typically, it will be a reference to the number of
DS0s, with men tion of BONDING in the help l ine. See the ATLAS 550 or 550
manuals for more information on endpoint configuration. Information may

also be found in the help menus under the endpoint’s Dial Plan Interface
configuration.
For example, to configure an Nx endpoint for BONDING, set Max DS0s and
Min DS0s to something other than 1 under the Nx Dial Plan interface configuration (see Figure 1-2).
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The IMUX-56/64 Module installs onto any option module that can be
installed into one of the four user slots of the ATLAS 550 chassis. You can
view the module status from the ATLAS 550 front panel LEDs (also see
Chapter 4 of the ATLAS 550 User Manual). You can also use the terminal
menus to provide additional status information, configure the module, and
download application software. Access the terminal menus via either a
VT-100 terminal connected to the ATLAS 550 Base Unit's control port or a
Telnet session established through the Base Unit's Ethernet port.
Features
•Compliant with TIA/EIA-619 Standard (BONDING)
-Up to (16) 128Kbps BONDING sessions per module
-Up to (4) 512Kbps BONDING sessions per module
-Up to (1) 2.048Mbps BONDING sessions per module
•Event-driven dial-backup of frame relay or T1 circuits
•Support for 56K or 64K circuits
•Video conferencing sup port
•Software upgrades via FLASH download

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The IMUX-56/64 Module provides no external interfaces. Other ATLAS 550
components provide both the network and customer interfaces. An internal
bus exchanges information between the ATLAS 550 chassis and the IMUX56/64 Module.

UNPACK AND INSPECT
Carefully inspect the IMUX-56/64 Module for shipping damages. If you
suspect damage, file a claim immediately with the carrier and then contact
ADTRAN Technical Support at the number provided in the back of this
manual. If possible, keep the original shipping container for returning the
IMUX-56/64 Module for repair or for verificationof shippingdamage.

(Insert into main ATLAS 550 User Manual.)
INSTALLING THE I MUX-56/64 MODULE
The IMUX-56/64 module must be attached to an ATLAS 550 option module
before the IMUX-56/64 module may be installed into the ATLAS 550 unit.
The IMUX-56/64 module cannot be installed into anATLAS 550
chassis without being first attached to anATLAS 550 option
module.
The IMUX-56/64 module can be attached t o any type of ATLAS 550 option
module and the resulting assembly can then be installed into any option
module slot of the ATLAS 550 chassis. Only an ATLAS 550 option module
can be used to carry the IMUX-56/64 module. In particular, the IMUX-56/
64 module cannot be attached to any network module or inserted into any
network module slot of the ATLAS 550 chassis.
To install the IMUX-56/64 module onto an ATLAS 550 option module and
then into the ATLAS 550 unit, use the following procedure.

Carefully align the P10 connector on the IMUX-56/64 module with
the J10 connector on the option module.
Using only fingertip pressure, so that neither circuit board bends
