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.

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

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

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.

This menu is used to set up the authentication parameters needed to authenticate PPP connection.

Authentication

The method used for authenticating the PPP peer is selected here. The possible values are:

ONE(DEF

ADIUS

)

No attempt is made to authenticate the PPP peer. The TA 544 will act as a RADIUS clien t and authenti-

cate the PPP peer using the RADIUS server. The RADIUSserverparametersmustbeset up properly for this to work.

PPP

Radius Server

The PPP profile is used to authenticate the PPP peer.

The parameters for the RADIUS server are configured in this menu. The RADIUS server can be used for authenticating a P PP peer (if defined under S

ECURITY/AUTHENTICATION

) and for Telnet server ses-

sions.

Primary Server

This is the IP address of the first RADIUS server that theTA 544 should attempt to communicate with when authenticating a PPP peer.

Secondary Server

This is the IP address of the back-up RADIUS server that theTA 544 should attempt to communicate with when the primary server does not respond.

UDP Port

This is the UDP port that the TA 544 should use when communicating with the RADIUS server. The default is 1645, which is the commonly used port.

Secret

The RADIUS server and TA 544 share this text string. It is used by the RADIUS sever to authenticate the TA 544, the RADIUS client. The factory default is not to use a secret.

Retry Count

This is the number of times the TA 544 should send a request packet to the RADIUS server without a response before giving up. If the number of attempts to communicate with the primary server is equal to the retry count, the secondary server (if defined) is tried. If the secondary server does not respond within the retry count, the PPP peer (or Telnet session) is not authenticated and is dropped. The default is 5.

PPP

The PPP peer can be authenticated using three standard methods:PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Protocol) and EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The strength of the authentication is determined in the order EAP, CHAP, followed by PAP, where EAP is the strongest and PAP is the weakest. PAP is a clear-text protocol, which means it is sent over the PPP link in a readable format. Care must be taken not to allow highly sensitive passwords to become compromised using this method. CHAP and EAP use a one-way hashing algorithm which makes it virtually impossible to determine the password. EAP has other capabilities which allow more flexibility than CHAP.

The following selections are possible:

Proxy ARP

This feature allows the network portion of a group of addresses to be shared among several physical network segments. The ARP protocol provides a way for devices to create a mapping between physical addresses and logical IP addresses. Proxy ARP makes use of this mapping feature by instructing a router to answer ARP requests as a "proxy" for t he IP addresses behind one of its ports. The device which sent the ARP request will then correctly assume that it can reach the requested IP address by sending packets to the physical address that was returned. This technique effectively hides the fact that a network has been (further) subnetted. If this option is set to Y

, when an ARP request is received on the Ethernet port the address is looked up in the IP routing table. If the forwarding port is not on the Ethernet port and the route is not the default route, theTA 544 will answer the request with its own hardware address.

Appendix B. Updating TA 544 Firmware using XMODEM

The TA 544 supports firmware updating using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit’s DEM is found in the VT 100 terminal emulation application in the ADTRAN Utilities package and in most PC VT 100 communications software packages.

Make certain that the communications softwarepackage being used has flow control turned off.

Before beginning this procedure, you must obtain the appropriate update file from ADTRAN Technical Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726) or call (256) 963-8000 and ask for Technical Support.

An XMODEM download can be initiated by enabling a forced download or by using the console menus. The following materials are required.

• VT 100 terminal or PC with VT 100 terminal emulation software

• XMODEM software

Updating Firmware via a Forced Download

Perform the Steps Below in the Order Listed

1. Using a VT 100 terminal emulation communication software package which contains XMODEM protocol support, log in toTA 544. Set the transmit rate of the emulation software to 9600 baud.

2. Unplug the unit to remove power. When power is reapplied, hold down the letter 'B' from the VT 100 terminal. Before the unit begins its boot-up sequence it will check f or the letter

'B'. If present, the download menu will appear.

Both uppercase and lowercase letters will work for the Forced Download. Make certain flow control is disabled for the VT 100 interface.

3. Press

until a menu appears.

Enter

To shorten transmit time, select the option from the menu to change the transmit rate to 115.2 baud or the highest rate supported by the terminal emulation software. If this transmit rate is changed, change emulation software properties to match this rate and disconnect and connect again. Press

Enter

again until the menu appears.

Appendix C. Updating TA 544 Firmware using TFTP

TA 544 supports firmware updates via the IP network using TFTP from a network server. The network server must be capable of supporting TFTP server requests from the TFTP client within theTA 544.

You must have a level 2 password to perform updates to the TA 544. Please consult the TA 544 administrator if this password is not known.

You must obtain the appropriate update file from ADTRAN Technical Support at (888) 4ADTRAN (423-8726) or call (256) 963-8000 and ask for Technical S upport.

You must copy the update file provided b y ADTRAN to a network server that supports TFTP server requests. Record both the IP address of the server and the full path location of the update file to be downloaded.

The following materials are required:

• A PC with a Telnet client software

• A TFTP Server accessible on the local network (a TFTP Server is provided as part of the ADTRAN Utilities software)

The TA 544 allows for complete integration of voice and data delivery from one compact platform. Once you have completed the voice turn up procedure from the previous example, adding data to the c ircuit requires some additional setup.

To configure a TA 544 for Bridging, you need to know the VPI and VCI values for the data circuit on your network.
