Getting to Know Your AAM1212

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the AAM.

1.1 Introduction

The AAM1212 (ADSL Access Module) is an 12-port ADSL2+ multiplexer network module
that aggregates traffic from 12 lines to an Ethernet port and has integrated splitters to allow
voice and ADSL to be carried over the same phone line wiring. The hot-swappable AAM1212
is designed to be installed in an IP-based DSLAM (Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer) chassis such as the IES-1000 (Integrated Ethernet Switch), that connects
ADSL subscribers to the Internet.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet
management to port-level control and monitoring, you can configure and manage your
network via the web browser. In addition, the AAM can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.

1.2 System Description

10/100 Mbps Ethernet Ports
The AAM has two 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. That allow
you to:
• Connect the AAM to a second level switch
• Daisy-chain other switches
One Telco-50 Connector
There is one Telco-50 connector for ADSL and POTS connection.
Stacking
Daisy-chain up to three AAMs (or other Ethernet devices).
Integrated Splitters
The integrated DSL splitter eliminates the need to use external splitters that separate the voice-
band and ADSL signals.
