Introduction Chapter 1 OCTAL E&M MODULE OVERVIEW The Octal E&M Module is a member of the ATLAS 550 family of products. It provides eight analog voice-grade interfaces, either 2-wire or 4-wire, for use as tie-trunks using E&M signaling or as dedicated transmission only (TO) interfaces for additional data services.
Chapter 1. Introduction Physical Description The Octal E&M Module plugs into any available option slot in the rear of the ATLAS 550 chassis. Figure 1-1 shows the Octal E&M Module. Figure 1-1. Octal E&M Module The labels over the modular connectors refer to the corresponding port on the Octal E&M Module.
Carefully unpack and inspect the module for shipping damages. If you sus- pect damage occurred during shipping, file a claim immediately with the carrier and then contact ADTRAN Technical Support (see the last page of this manual for pertinent information). If possible, keep the original ship- ping container for returning the module for repair or for verification of ship- ping damage.
Chapter 2. Installation INSTALLING THE OCTAL E&M MODULE Figure 2-1 shows how to install the module properly. The instructions are described in the Step/Action table, below.

Chapter 2. Installation WIRING Each module port has a single 8-pin modular jack. A suitable mating connec- tor is AMP # 2-383021-5. The Octal E&M module is an E-lead originate sig- naling circuit suitable for connection to an M-lead originate trunk circuit. The pinout is shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 Table 2-1.
Operation Chapter 3 OVERVIEW The Octal E&M Module is controlled by the ATLAS 550 Base Unit terminal menu. The terminal menu allows for detailed configuration, status, and test- ing of the Octal E&M Module. Configuration of the Octal E&M Module is completed in two areas of the ter- minal menu: General configuration items for the Octal E&M-8 Voice Module are set using M...
Chapter 3. Operation TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE The ATLAS 550 uses a hierarchical menu structure to provide access to all of its features. The top-most menu level leads to submenus which are grouped by functionality. All menu items display in the terminal window. To access the Octal E&M Module, activate the M menu.

Chapter 3. Operation Displays additional status and configuration menus for the selected module. To access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to scroll to the column for the module you want to edit, and press . For detailed Enter information on each submenu item, see the section Octal E&M Module Menu Options on page 3-5.

Chapter 3. Operation Table 3-1. Test 2W Information Test Module Output E-lead follows the Rx signaling bits E-lead Open Force on-hook E-lead Closed Force off-hook ABCD Forces the Transmit Robbed Bit Signaling (Tx RBS) to a specified value. Val- ues include O , 0000, 0101, 1010, or 1111.
Chapter 3. Operation Selects signaling interface operation. The module supports all E&M types - I through V, as well as Transmission Only (TO) mode. Press-to-talk (PTT) mode is functionally identical to the E&M Type V mode. VF I Selects either 4-wire or 2-wire operation of the Voice Frequency (VF) Inter- face.
Dial Plan Interface Configuration Appendix A INTERFACE CONFIGURATION The I option for the D menu (see Figure A-1) sets config- ONFIG uration parameters for the endpoint. These parameters vary by the type of port selected. The D menus are only accessible when using terminal mode.

Appendix A. Dial Plan Interface Configuration OCTAL E&M MODULE INTERFACE CONFIGURATION The following sections describe U configuration settings for the Octal E&M Module when using the D menus. ORTS Read security: 5 Shows port allocation for the endpoint. The characters used to define the VAILABLE allocation have the following meanings: Describes available ports, as indicated by the displayed digit.
