Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio frequencies. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which ca se the user wi ll be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits.

Change or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Affidavit Requirements for Connection to Digital Services

• An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone company whenever digital terminal equipment

without encoded analog content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals containing encoded analog content which are intended for eventual conversion into voiceband analog signa ls and transmitted on the network.

• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being

transmitted or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protection specifications.

• End user/customer will be responsible for filing an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when

connecting unprotected customer premise equipment (CPE) to 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital services.

• Until such time as subrate digital terminal equipment is reg istered for voice applications, the affi-

davit requirement for subrate services is waived.

Canadian Equipment Limitations

The Industry Canada Certification label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department of Commerce does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition s may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by th e user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic waterpipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or an electrician, as appropriate.

The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the to tal load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the equipment that the total of the LNs of all devices does not exceed 100.

The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal ad apter is used to dete rmine the total number of devices that may be connected to each circuit. The sum of the RENs from all devices in the circuit should not exceed a total of 5.0.

Warranty and Customer Service

ADTRAN will replace or repair this product within five years from the date of shipment if the product does not meet its published specification, or if it fails while in service. For detailed warranty, repair, and return information, refer to the ADTRAN Equipment Warranty and Repair and Return Policy Procedure (see the last page of this manual).

A return material authorization (RMA) is required prior to returning equipment to ADTRAN. For service, RMA requests, or more information, see the last page of this manual for the toll-free contact

number.

Introduction

QUAD T1/PRI MODULE OVERVIEW

The Quad T1/PRI Module (P/N 12001 85L3) is a member of the ATLAS fam ily of integrated access products and provides four channelized T1 or Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) interfaces. Each interface can operate independently in DS-1 or DSX-1 mode, and any port can serve as the primary or backup timing source for the entire system.

The Quad T1/PRI Module combines with the ATLAS Base Unit and other ATLAS modules to support requirements calling for multiple T1 and/or PRI circuits. You can install into the system as many Quad T1/PRI Modules as can be physically accommodated in the ATLAS chassis.

Typical applications calling for ATLAS and the Quad T1/PRI Module include the following:

• Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS). Any DS0 on any T1 circuit can be switched to any other DS0 on any other T1 circuit.

• T1 Bandwidth Management. T1 circuits carrying voice, data, video, an d other traffic can have their payload groomed and directed to the appropriate interface inside the ATLAS system (see Figure 1-1).

• ISDN Access Switch. When combined with the Octal BRI/U Module (P/N 1200186L1, L2), the Quad T1/PRI Module can combine multiple Basic Rate ISDN (BRI) circuits onto one or more Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) circuits.

Chapter 1. Introduction

NEBS COMPLIANCE

The ATLAS Quad T1/PRI Module (P/N 1200185L3) complies with the NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) Level III specification for GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE. This means that the ATLAS Quad T1/ PRI Module will perform normally under certain electrical and physical stresses without posing a safety hazard to its users. This module can be used

in either the ATLAS 800 or the ATLAS 80 0 require NEBS compliance, this module should be used in the

ATLAS 810

PLUS

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The Quad T1/PRI Module installs into any available option slot in th e ATLAS chassis. You can view the status of the module itself, as well as the circuits to which it interfaces, from the ATLAS front panel. Additional status information is available via the terminal menu, accessible through either a VT-100 terminal connected to the ATLAS Base Unit’s control port or through a Telnet session established through the Base Unit’s Ethernet port. Use the terminal menu to configure the Quad T1/PRI Module and to download application software.

OVERVIEW

Operation

You can configure and control the Quad T1/PRI Module from a variety of sources, including the following:

• The ATLAS front panel, providing minimal configuration and status

support

• The terminal menu, allowing detailed configuration, status, and diag-

nostics

• SNMP, primarily for reporting alarm conditions and system status The remainder of this chapter describes the menu items available when

managing the Quad T1/PRI Module via the terminal menu. Access the terminal menu using either a VT-100 terminal attached to the

ATLAS Base Unit’s control port or a Telnet session established through the Base Unit’s Ethernet port. The ATLAS User Manual provides detailed instructions on the operation of each of these management approaches.

To edit items in the term inal menu, you must have the appr opriat e password level. Each menu description in this s ection ind icates the password level required for write and read access. See “Access Passwords” in the ATLAS User Manual for detailed information on working with passwords .

Security level 0 users can view and edit every available field. Security level 5 users can view any field but cannot edit.

TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE

ATLAS uses a hierarchical menu structure to provide access to all of its features. The top-most menu level leads to submenus which are grouped by functionality. All menu items display in the terminal window. To access the Quad T1/PRI Module, activate the describe the menu items for the
