Physical Description Total Access 900e Series Hardware Installation Guide

2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

The Total Access 900e Series products are high-bandwidth Internet Protocol (IP) business gateways

designed for cost-effective deployment of up to 60 channels of Voice over IP (VoIP) services. The analog

and digital (T1 robbed bit signaling (RBS) and primary rate interface (PRI) trunks) voice interfaces

perform a gateway function into the service provider's VoIP network.

The last two digits of the product name indicate the number of on-board FXS ports. The Total Access 908e

contains 8 FXS ports, the Total Access 916e contains 16 FXS ports, and the Total Access 924e contains 24

FXS ports or 16 FXS ports plus 8 FXO ports with octal FXO daughterboard. The units can provision, test,

and provide status for any of the voice and data interfaces.

Total Access 900e Series products all run ADTRAN Operating System (AOS) application firmware and

include the AOS built-in IP router and firewall features. The units includes a VOICE interface (up to 24

foreign exchange station (FXS) ports or 16 FXS plus 8 foreign exchange office (FXO) ports), an optional

FXO trunk (

FXO 0/0), 4 DS1 network interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 0/4), 2 routed 10/100Base-T

interfaces (

ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2), a single routed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port (GIG 0/1), a Universal

Serial Bus (

USB) port, and a CRAFT port (management interface). A connection (BBU) is provided for an

optional battery backup unit. The Total Access 900e Series units are RoHS compliant.

In common packet-based applications, the wide area network (WAN) can be terminated using the T1

interfaces (

T1 0/1 through T1 04) or the Ethernet interfaces (GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). This interface

connects to the service provider's or carrier's network and transmits packetized voice and data over a

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk(s). The customer's data traffic is terminated using the internal router

on the Total Access 900e and is routed out the local area network (LAN) using one of the Ethernet

interfaces (

GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). The customer's voice traffic can remain IP, for applications such

as hosted IP centrex using IP handsets, or an IP public branch exchange (PBX), and will route out one of

the Ethernet interfaces (

GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). The customer's voice can also connect to legacy

phone systems that are presented as time division multiplexing (TDM), which use the FXS ports or PRI/

CAS interfaces (

T1 0/1 through T1 0/4). AOS supports the simultaneous use of the IP and TDM interfaces

for voice applications.
