TDM TO ATM UPGRADE
Introduction
The Echo Canceller Module provides G.165/G.168 echo cancellation for voice over ATM applications and
is available with Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM). ADPCM is a speech coding
method which uses fewer bits than traditional Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), allowing the user to get
more analog voice calls on less bandwidth. Echo cancellation and ADPCM resources are built into all
600 Series units except the Total Access 612/616/624 T1 TDM units (P/N 4200612L1#TDM,
4200616L1#TDM, and 4200624L1#TDM). These units may be upgraded to include echo cancellation via
three methods. This DLP discusses those three methods.
Prerequisite Procedures
Purchase the EC/ADPCM (P/N 1200613L1).
Tools and Materials Required
VT100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software
Appropriate cable to connect terminal to the unit (customer-provided)
DB-9 female to RJ-45 female adapter (customer provided) for connecting to the
CRAFT port on the rear
of the unit
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic
components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is
electrically grounded.
The Total Access 604/608 units and the third generation Total Access 612/616/624 units
(P/N 1203612L1, 1203616L1, and 1203624L1) come with the Echo Canceller function
built in, so there is no need for these units to be upgraded.
