Installation Instructions
AT-NT117 (AC) and AT-NT118 (DC)
ADSL Mini-DSLAMs
The following instructions provide installation procedures for the AT-NT117 (AC) and AT-NT118 (DC) ADSL MiniDSLAMs. Allied Telesyn strongly recommends using proper static protection techniques when installing
and handling this equipment.
Installation Instructions
Step #1 - Unpack and inspect the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118.
You should have the following components:
1) One AT-NT117 or AT-NT118
2) Power cord (for the AT-NT117 only)
3) Rubber feet (4)
4) Rack mount brackets (2)
5) Rack mount bracket screws (10)
If there is visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device; contact Allied Telesyn Technical Support
for assistance.
Step #2 - Install the Uplink Interface Module (AT-NT510, AT-NT530, AT-NT540, AT-NT550, or
AT-NT560). DO NOT POWER UP THE AT-NT117 OR AT-NT118 UNTIL AFTER THE UIM HAS BEEN
INSTALLED.
Unscrew the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118 chassis, using a Phillips screwdriver and carefully lift off the top half
of the chassis; set aside. Remove the blanking plate from the slot selected for the UIM (either slot may be
used). Carefully position the UIM with the faceplate facing out of the vacated slot. Ensure that the
connector between the UIM and the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118 is fully aligned. Secure the UIM in place with
the four provided screws. Replace the chassis top and reattach with all eight screws.
Step #3 - Site selection
When selecting a site for the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118, please consider the following:
§ Maximum recommended ambient temperature is 65°C. Internal temperatures of rack should be
considered.
§ Ensure that the unit is placed in such a manner that the cables will not become a tripping hazard or
become dislodged from the unit.
§ Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when installing unit in rack.
§ Mechanical loading of rack should be considered so that the rack remains stable and unlikely to tip
over.
§ Consideration of the overall loading of the branch circuit should be given before installing any
equipment in a rack environment.
§ Ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack system. This unit is intended for a
grounded connection.
For tabletop mounting, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the unit. For rack mounting, attach the rack
mount brackets to the sides of the unit at the desired position with the provided screws.
Step #4 - Powering up the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118. Connect power to the AT-NT117 or AT-NT118 from
an appropriate power source. The AT-NT117 uses AC power. Turn on the power switch located on top of
the AC inlet. Verify that the PWR LED is illuminated.

Step #5 - Making the ADSL connection. Plug the ADSL cable into the ADSL RJ-21 Connector on the
AT-NT117 or AT-NT118. Verify the ADSL connection via the LNK LED on the front of the unit; a blinking
LNK LED indicates that traffic is being received from the ADSL line.
Note: The distance of the copper cable between the Mini-DSLAM and the ADSL Modem will affect
the linking of the ADSL connection. If the distance is greater than a particular speed will support,
the units will not link up.

Operational Modes
The AT-NT117 and AT-NT118 support both Full Rate and G.lite operational Modes. The tables below
outline the various possible speed settings for both modes.
Full Rate: G.DMT, T1.413 and Alcatel
All require an in-line splitter to be installed both at the customer premise and the Central Office or
wherever the IP DSLAM may be located.

Default Settings
These default settings may be changed by using the IP (or Mini) DSLAM Network Management System
(NMS); please see the NMS Users Guide for further instruction.
Port Mode
Once the ADSL link has been established, it will negotiate the best data rate possible for the line before
transmitting data.
VPI/VCI Detect ON
Once established, the ADSL link will also configure itself to the detected VPI/VCI (Virtual Path
Identifier/Virtual Channel Identifier) of packets being transmitted from the remote end station.
LED Indicators
PWR: Steady green indicates normal operation for the entire module.
Per Port
LNK: Pulsing green (once per second) indicates the ADSL connection is operational and the unit is
receiving data packets from the remote unit on the other side of the ADSL connection. Steady green
indicates the ADSL link exists but there is no traffic flow.
RX: Flashing amber indicates data is being received from the ADSL line.
TX: Flashing amber indicates data is being transmitted to the ADSL line.
