INTRODUCTION

The MX2800 is an M13 multiplexer that consolidates T1 and E1 signals into a T3 circuit. This unit
provides a cost-effective, versatile tool for combining independent T1s, E1s, or a combination of the two
over the same T3 circuit.
The MX2800 houses two hot-swappable controller cards which provide 1:1 redundancy for the T1 and T3
signals, as well as the T3 connections.
Embedded simple network management protocol (SNMP) and Telnet are available through the modem
port using serial line internet protocol/point-to-point protocol (SLIP/PPP) or through the 10Base-T
Ethernet port. Using the Management Information Base II (MIB II), RFC 1407 standards, and an
ADTRAN enterprise MIB, the MX2800 can be configured, monitored, and diagnosed with standard
SNMP network management programs such as Hewlett Packard's HP OpenView
Spectrum . In addition, the SysLog Host Daemon allows remote monitoring, collecting, and logging of
®
MX2800 events in realtime. This information is useful during installation setups and/or troubleshooting.
Complete configuration, loopbacks, and performance monitoring are available through SNMP, Telnet, or a
VT100 terminal interface. This connection can be made via Ethernet, a local EIA-232 link, or through the
built-in V.34 modem. The modem can dial out a "cry for help" for units located in unmanned facilities. The
MX2800 is designed for installation in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack.
The major features of the MX2800 are as follows:
• Built-in 1:1 redundancy
• Hot-swappable controller cards
• Independent, dual-load sharing, redundant power supplies
• Embedded SNMP and Telnet management through 10Base-T Ethernet or SLIP/PPP dialup
• Detailed performance monitoring for local and remote units
• Simplified configuration through the VT100 terminal menu structure
• Integrated V.34 modem for dial-up and dial-down access
• Capability of backhauling multiple service types (T1/E1)
• AC or DC power
• Available –48V or 24V power supplies
• External DS3 clock option
• M13 and C-bit signaling support
