The Quad E1/PRA Module combines with the ATLAS base unit and other ATLAS modules to support requirements calling for multiple E1 and/or PRA circuits. As many Quad E1/PRA Modules can be installed in a system as can be physically accommodated in the ATLAS chassis.
Figure 1-1. E1 Bandwidth Management Application FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Quad E1/PRA Module can be installed in any available option slot in the ATLAS chassis. The status of the module itself, as well as the circuits to which it interfaces, can be viewed from the ATLAS front panel. Additional status infor- mation is available via the terminal menu, which is accessible through either a VT 100 terminal connected to the ATLAS Base Unit’s control port or through a...
75 ohms unbalanced + 5% (with P/N 1200209L1) 75 ohms balanced + 5% (with P/N 1200209L1) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The Quad E1/PRA Module plugs into any available option slot in the rear of PLUS the ATLAS 800 or ATLAS 800 (see Figure 1-2).
Chapter 2 UNPACK AND INSPECT Carefully inspect the Quad E1/PRA Module for any shipping damages. If dam- age is suspected, file a claim immediately with the carrier and then contact ADTRAN Technical Support (see the last page of this manual for pertinent information).
Figure 2-1. Installing the Quad E1/PRA Module WIRING Each port of the Quad E1/PRA Module offers a single DB-15 for connecting to the E1 or PRA circuit. Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 give the pinouts for the DB-15 connector and for the DB-62 connector on the module.
Note: P(1-4) indicates the Port. WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ADTRAN will replace or repair this product within five years from the date of shipment if the product does not meet its published specification, or if it fails while in service.

Displays the type of module actually installed in the slot or the type of module you plan to install in the slot. If a Quad E1/PRA Module is installed, the Type field automatically defaults to E1/PRI-4 (the Quad E1/PRI Module). You can use this field to preconfigure a system before installing modules by specifying the module that you want to install into each slot.
