Chapter 1 Introduction QUAD Nx 56/64 MODULE OVERVIEW The Quad Nx (pronounced “N-by”) 56/64 Module provides four syn- chronous V.35 DTE ports, each of which can operate at any rate that is a multiple of 56 or 64 kbps, up to 1.536 Mbps. The Quad Nx 56/64 Module can be installed in any option slot of the ATLAS chassis.
Figure 1-1 Quad Nx 56/64 Module Adapter Cable Two ADTRAN-supplied adapter cables convert from the DB-37 connectors on the rear of the module to Dual Winchester V.35 con- nectors. These connectors are marked as 1/3 and 2/4 to represent the port connected (1 or 3/2 or 4), based on which DB-37 the cable is attached to.
Carefully inspect the option module for any shipping damage. If damage is suspected, file a claim immediately with the carrier and then contact ADTRAN Technical Support. (See the last page of this manual for infor- mation on contacting Technical Support.) If possible, keep the original shipping container for use in shipping the option module back for repair or for verification of damage during shipment.
Chapter 2. Installation INSTALLING THE QUAD NX 56/64 MODULE Figure 2-1 is representative of the action required for proper placement of the Quad Nx 56/64 Module. Perform the following steps to install the option module: 1. Remove the cover plate (corresponding to the slot in which the Quad Nx 56/64 Module will be installed) from the ATLAS 800 chassis rear panel.
Chapter 2. Installation WIRING Each port of the Quad Nx 56/64 Module has a V.35 Winchester-style connection (via the supplied adapter cables) as defined in Table 2-A.

Chapter 3 Operation OVERVIEW The Quad Nx 56/64 Module can be configured and controlled from a variety of sources, including: • The ATLAS 800 Front Panel, providing minimal configuration and sta- tus support • The terminal menus, allowing detailed configuration, status, and diag- nostics •...
Chapter 3. Operation The ATLAS 800 System Controller automatically detects the presence of the Quad Nx 56/64 Module when it is installed in the system. To see the menus for the Quad Nx 56/64 Module via the terminal menu, use the arrow keys to scroll to the Modules menu and press Enter to access the module choices.
Chapter 3. Operation Menu Selecting this item displays additional status and configuration menus about the selected module. (To access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to scroll to the Menu column for the module you want to edit, and press Enter .) For detailed information on each submenu item, see the section Quad Nx 56/64 Module Menu Options on page 10.
Chapter 3. Operation Quad Nx 56/64 Module Menu Options Figure 3-2 shows the menu options available for the Quad Nx 56/64 Module. The following sections describe these options. Figure 3-2 Quad Nx 56/64 Module Menu Options Quad Nx Info Read security: 5 The Quad Nx 56/64 Info submenu indicates the status of the module.
Chapter 3. Operation NO EXT CLK The DTE is not providing an external transmit clock (only if the V.35 Nx port is configured to get transmit clock from the DTE.) DTE Status Read security: 5 Shows the status of key DTE interface signals. The following signals are monitored (these options are read-only): Request To Send from DTE Clear To Send to DTE...

Write security: 3; Read security: 5 Data Carrier Detect. Indicates to the DTE when a valid signal is being re- ceived at the Network Interface (see Table 3-A).
Chapter 3. Operation Test This menu item is used to activate testing of specific data ports. It also con- trols the activation of loopbacks and the initiation of data test patterns. Test results are displayed on the ATLAS 800 front panel. The execution of Port Tests disrupts normal data flow in the port being tested.
Appendix A Quad Nx 56/64 Dial Plan Interface Configuration INTERFACE CONFIGURATION The Interface Configuration option for the Dial Plan menu sets configura- tion parameters for the end point. These parameters will vary by the type of port selected. The following section describes the configuration options available for the Quad Nx 56/64 Module.
Appendix A: Nx 56/64 Dial Plan Interface Configuration Nx56/64 Option Module Interface Configuration This section describes the User Termination configuration settings for the Quad Nx56/64 Module when using the Dial Plan menus. The Nx56/64 can only serve as a User termination end point.
