SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The ATLAS 550 is a modular, highly scalable platform that provides robust solutions for the wide-area
communication needs of small-to-medium corporations and network access providers. The ATLAS 550 is
an Integrated Access System with extensive support of dedicated bandwidth management and access
switching. It contains a high-performance CPU and powerful communications drivers which support
applications such as frame relay, dial-backup, and PPP (point-to-point protocol).
The ATLAS 550 architecture also includes a packet and circuit switching bussing scheme. The result is a
system capable of supporting bandwidth requirements of up to nine T1 circuits or five Primary Rate ISDN
(PRI) circuits. Designed for standalone, rackmount, or wallmount installations, the ATLAS 550 base unit
provides two hot-swappable network interfaces and four expansion slots that accommodate hot-swappable
option modules for a variety of applications. A 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection for IP routing and
network management is standard with the ATLAS 550 base unit.
With the ATLAS 550, you can consolidate voice, data, and video applications into a single platform while
optimizing wide area bandwidth and reducing equipment costs. The ATLAS 550 architecture and the four
expansion slots accept a variety of modules, making it one of the most versatile access systems on the
market.
