TAM1500-12

12-Port T1 Access Multiplexer

CAUTION

Net to Net Technologies strongly recommends the use of proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
when handling this equipment.

INSTALLATION

1. Unpack and inspect the TAM1500-12.

If there is visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device; contact Customer Support at 1­877-638-2638 (001-603-427-0600 for international customers) or [e-mail].

2. Install the TAM1500-12 in an IP DSLAM chassis.

NOTE

All Access Multiplexer Modules for Net to Net Technologies' IP DSLAMs are hot swappable;
installing or removing an Access Module while the chassis is powered up does not affect the
operational status of other Access Modules within the chassis. The IPD12000 is a fourteen slot
chassis; slots 1-12 are reserved for Access Modules (such as the TAM1500-12) and slots 13-14
are reserved for Multiplexer Uplink Modules (such as the MUM200-2). Access Modules may be
placed in any order in slots 1-12. The IPD4000 is a five slot chassis; slots 1-4 are reserved for
Access Modules and slot 5 is reserved for a Multiplexer Uplink Module.

There must be a Multiplexer Uplink Module installed in the IP DSLAM chassis in order for Access Modules to
operate.

a. Align the TAM1500-12 with the slot module guides of the chosen slot for installation (slot

1-12 on the IPD12000 or slot 1-4 on the IPD4000).

b. Slide the TAM1500-12 firmly into the chassis. DO NOT USE EXCESS FORCE.

c. Secure the TAM1500-12 by tightening the fastening screws on the module faceplate.

d. Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the TAM1500-12 faceplate is illuminated.

3. Connect the T1 Line(s).

Plug the T1 cable into the RJ21 connector for the chosen slot on the back of the IP DSLAM. The
TAM1500-12 will connect with remote T1 modems at distances up to 6,000 feet before
requiring a T1 repeater. For each port being connected to a remote T1 modem, verify that the T1
link has been established; the T1 LK LED for that port will show steady illumination to indicate
the connection has been made. Link up should occur within 20 seconds depending on the
quality, gauge and distance of the copper cables. Default bandwidth for the TAM1500-12 is
1,536 kbps.

NOTE

Once the TAM1500-12 has been installed, all settings are software selectable via Net to Net Technologies' Network
Management System (NMS). For further information regarding TAM1500-12 configuration and management please
refer to the Circuit Configuration section further on in this manual and/or to the Management User Guide for IP and
Mini DSLAMs.

OVERVIEW

TAM1500-12 Management

Statistical and configuration data for the TAM1500-12 are maintained in an embedded web
server that resides within the firmware of Net to Net Technologies' Multiplexer Uplink Modules
(MUMs). This firmware contains Net to Net's Network Management System (NMS) and Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Accessing TAM1500-12 data in a newly installed IP DSLAM

a. Connect your PC to the Ethernet RJ45 MGMT port located on the faceplate of the

MUM installed in your IP DSLAM.

b. Verify the connection; solid illumination of the MGMT LNK LED on the MUM

NOTE

Accessing TAM1500-12 data in a previously installed IP DSLAM

Once accessed initially, the management system within the MUM can be configured such that NMS
and SNMP can be reached from any computer on your network. For further instruction please refer
to the Management User Guide for IP and Mini DSLAMs.

a. Establish a connection with the MUM either directly (through the Ethernet RJ45

MGMT port on the MUM faceplate) or, if the system has been so configured, from a
PC on your network.

b. For direct connections verify that the MGMT LNK LED on the MUM faceplate is

illuminated indicating the connection has been established.

c. Launch a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (v4.0 or higher) or

Netscape Navigator (v4.0 or higher).

d. Enter the assigned IP address* into the address field at the top of your browser

window. Press the Enter key.

e. Log in with your assigned username and password.* Please note that General Users

have "read only" access; for NMS configuration you must log in as a Superuser.

*If the IP address, username or password is unknown, contact your System Administrator
or Information Technology Manager.

Default Settings

No configuration is necessary for the TAM1500-12 to operate at default settings. If however, a
change is required, default settings can easily be modified within NMS. For information
regarding specific parameter configurations, refer to the TAM1500-12 Circuit Configuration
section on the following page and/or the Management User Guide for IP and Mini DSLAMs.
