Chapter 1. Introduction Access Router As an Access Router, the ATLAS 550 combines the functions of a T1 CSU/ DSU, an intelligent channel bank, a T1 Multiplexer, and DACS into a single platform. The ATLAS 550 is ideal for point-to-point configurations or access to public networks.
Router Router The ATLAS 550 router uses the Ethernet port to transmit local area network (LAN) traffic over the wide area network (WAN) to a remote LAN. By inte- grating the router into the network access device, you benefit from the cost savings of not requiring an external router.
550. Dedicated and Switched Connection Maps in a Single Platform The ATLAS 550 allocates dedicated bandwidth according to any of up to five unique connection maps. Any DS0 on any T1 circuit can be mapped to any other DS0 on up to four T1 circuits in the system. Dedicated connection maps can be manually invoked or automatically implemented based on the time of day and day of the week.
You can remotely download software using TFTP or XMODEM. The ATLAS 550 front panel contains an extensive array of LEDs for alarm and status information pertaining to the system and the individual modules. Several test capabilities allow you to diagnose the health of your T1, PRI, or BRI circuits without additional test equipment.

As shipped, the ATLAS 550 is set to factory default conditions. After install- ing the Base Unit and any option modules, the ATLAS 550 is ready for pow- er-up. To power-up the unit, ensure that the unit is properly connected to an appropriate power source and turn on the unit using the on/off switch on the rear panel.
Port Control/Chain In Port The Control/Chain In port (EIA-232) connects to a computer or modem or to another ATLAS 550 Base Unit. The control port input provides the follow- ing functions: • Accepts EIA-232 input from a PC or a modem for controlling the ATLAS 550.
Control/Chain Out Port The Control/Chain Out port (RJ-48C) connects to another ATLAS 550 Chain In connector. The Control/Chain Out port output provides the following: • EIA-232 output to chain control to other ADTRAN equipment, such as a TSU 120. •...
This connection alerts the user when a selected external alarm condition ex- ists. This connection could be used to monitor a UPS with dry contacts or an- other ATLAS 550. The two-pin, removable terminal block connects with external wiring. To make the appropriate connections, remove the block, connect wiring as needed, and return the terminal block to the connector socket.
Table 2-5 shows the pinout for the External Alarm Relay connector. Network Connection The ATLAS 550 provides two Network Interface Slots that allow different types of interfaces to be used. Currently only a T1 Network Interface is avail- able. In the remainder of this manual, discussions about the Network Inter- face Module refer to the T1 Network Interface Module.

SNMP support - MIB II Option Slots Figure 2-2 shows the option slot numbering designation as viewed from the rear of the ATLAS 550. The functionally identical option slots only accept ATLAS 550 option modules. INSTALLING OPTION MODULES After installing the ATLAS 550 Base Unit and connecting the required ca- bles, you can install your choice of option modules.
Operation Chapter 3 OVERVIEW To fully operate the ATLAS 550, you must connect to the terminal menus us- ing VT-100 terminal emulation or a Telnet session. The following sections provide an overview of these methods of operating the ATLAS 550.
Page 48
See Access Passwords on page 6-15 for details. After your password is accepted, define the IP Address of the ATLAS 550 to which you want to connect. The following Step/Action chart describes this process.
USING TELNET To connect to the ATLAS 550 via Telnet, you must define the IP address, set the subnet mask, and, typically, set the default gateway IP address. Starting a Telnet Session When you begin the Telnet session, you will be prompted for a password.

The front panel contains the Alarm Cut-off (ACO) switch, the CRAFT port, and the controller and module status LEDs. The LEDs provide visual infor- mation about the ATLAS 550 Base Unit and any option module that may be installed. Figure 4-1 identifies the ACO switch, the CRAFT port, and the LEDs.
Use the CRAFT port to configure the system via an EIA-232 connection. The CRAFT port provides the same functions and operations as the Control In port located on the rear panel of the ATLAS 550. The connector type is shown below, and Table 4-1 gives the CRAFT port pinout (see also CRAFT Port on page 4-3 in Table 4-2).

Two transfer methods are available for use in updating any modules that contain Flash memory, including the AT- LAS 550 system controller. The first transfer method is via the ATLAS 550 Control/Chain In port using XMODEM protocol. The second transfer meth- od is via the ATLAS 550 built-in Ethernet port using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
Before beginning this procedure, • you must have a level 1 password for updating any module within ATLAS 550. Please consult the ATLAS 550 administrator if you do not know the password. • you must obtain the appropriate update file for the particular module from the ADTRAN web page, www.adtran.com, in the Support section.

A trap destination list contains information about sites designated to receive SNMP traps. You can configure this list via a Telnet session or the VT-100 terminal menu. The ATLAS 550 supports up to four trap destination lists. By default, the destination list is empty.
T Define trap thresholds to disable specific trap events. Refer to the ATLAS 550 MIB in System Event Logging on page A-1 for a description of each trap event supported by the ATLAS 550. For example, consider the coldStart trap which is a system controller event.
RFC1406 also defines a series of Current and Total Alert threshold values. You can enable the ATLAS 550 to send an Alert Trap to each member of the trap destination list when accumulated error statistics exceed these 13-4 Table 13-2.
When one of the current alert thresholds is exceeded, the corresponding event bit is set to 1 in the DS1 alert table variable, adDS1CurrentAlert. When enabled, the ATLAS 550 sends alert traps to each member of the trap desti- nation list upon detecting the status bit changes in adDS1CurrentAlert.

64 kbps, up to 2.048 Mbps. Dual T1/PRI Module One of the ATLAS 550 option modules. The Dual T1/PRI Module provides two channelized T1 or Pri- mary Rate ISDN (PRI) interfaces. Each interface can operate independently in DS-1 or DSX-1 mode, and any port can serve as the primary or backup timing source for the entire system.

A chassis-based product that supports a number of end-user applications on the subscriber side and a number of carrier interfaces on the trunk side. The ATLAS 550 is an Integrated Access System designed to provide significant wide-area cost savings through the consolidation of voice, data, fax, and video.

2-wire transmission line; converts between Layer 1 formats used at the U- and T- reference points; and performs some maintenance functions. Octal FXO Module One of the ATLAS 550 option modules. The Octal FXO provides eight analog interface to a system or PBX. Octal FXS Module One of the ATLAS 550 option modules.

Pulse Code Modulation. The most common method for encoding analog voice into a digital bit stream. Port/PVC Interval. Think of this as a resource meter. The ATLAS 550 can track up to 10,000 PIVs. The PIV is derived from the Max Number of Days and Max Number of Intervals selected by the user.

T1 Network Interface Module One of the ATLAS 550 network interface modules. The T1 Network Interface Module (NIM) provides a single channelized T1 or PRI interface. It can operate in DS-1 or DSX-1 mode and can serve as the pri- mary or backup timing source for the entire system.

User to Network Interface. Defines the interface between the CPE and the frame relay providers switch. VCOM Module One of the ATLAS 550 option modules. The Voice Compression (VCOM) Module can provide 8, 16, 24, or 30 compressed voice channels to implement voice over frame relay in the ATLAS 550. Voice Compression A means of reducing the bandwidth required for transmission of voice traffic with minimal impact on the quality of the voice.
