1. TA 544 OVERVIEW
The Total Access 544 is a complete solution Integrated Access Device (IAD) for Voice over ATM (VoATM) applications. The unit includes a modular network interface, Nx64 V.35 interface, 10/100BaseT interface, ISDN ports, and
an optional battery back-up (1200641L1) for added security. The TA 544 can provision, test, and provide status for
any of the voice and data interfaces. All connections are made via the rear panel (see Figure 1). In addition to a builtin IP router, the TA 544 contains an Echo Canceller necessary for VoATM applications.
Appendix A, on page 49, contains detailed specifications for the TA 544.

Firmware Updates
Firmware can be updated by using XMODEM transfer protocol via the unit’s

port (see Figure 1) or by using
Terminal Menu
The terminal menu is the access point to all other operations. Each terminal menu item has several functions and submenusthat identify and provideaccess to specificoperationsand parameters. These menuselections are d escribed later
in this User Manual.
See Appendix D on page 57 for instructions about navigating the terminal menus.
2. VOICE OVER DSL OVERVIEW
Voice over DSL (VoDSL) refers to providing toll quality voice access to the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) over twisted copper pair using DSL. Data can be combined with multiple voice lines over a single medium via
DSL, thus yielding many advantages over traditional TDM technologies.
Traditional TDM technologies arelimited by statically allocating bandwidth. DSL overcomes this by providing a large
bandwidth and utilizing other technologies, such as ATM, to dynamically assign bandwidth as it is needed. Because
of this, the user is able to add voice and data connections over a DSL line with flexibility and ease.
3. VOICE OVER ATM OVERVIEW
Voice over ATM is the technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM). There are several potential benefits to moving voice over a data network using ATM. First, the
© 2001, ADTRAN, Inc. TA 544 User Manual
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A
Page 14 of 68
small, fixed-length cells require lower processing overhead. Second, these small, fixed-length cells allow higher transmission speeds than traditional packet switching methods.
ATM allocates bandwidth on demand, making it suitable for high-speed connection of voice, data, and video services.
Conventional networks carry data in a synchronous manner. Because empty slots are circulating even when the link is
not needed, network capacity is wasted. ATM automatically adjusts the network capacity to meet the system needs.
4. VOICE OVER DSL APPLICATION
Figure 2 shows a typical VoDSL application. The TA 544 connects to the ATM network, via a DSLAM, to provide
both voice a nd high speed data from a single platform.

Server Type
The server type defines which port the TA 544 will listen on to receive timing information from the time
server.

The TA 544 will receive time from an NT server running SNTP software on its TIME port.
SNTP
The TA 544 will receive time directly from an SNTP server.
Active
This network timing feature can be turned on and off. It determines whether the unit will request and receive
time from a time server.
Time Zone
There are several time zones available for the time to be displayed in. All time zones are based off of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

This is the IP address of the tim e server that theTA 544 will request and receive time from.
Refresh
This is the interval of time between each request theTA 544 sends out to the time server. A smaller refresh
time guarantees that the unit receives the correct time from the server and corrects possible errors more
quickly, but it is more taxing on the machine. A range of refresh times is available for the user to decide
which is best for their unit.
