Tools Required

The following customer-provided tools are required for installation of the Total Access 900e Series

hardware:

• Two wood screws, 3/32-inch to 1/8-inch (1-inch or greater length)

• Drill and drill bit set

• Screwdriver (medium)

• 25-pair male amphenol cable (customer connection)

• Selected punch-down block and tool

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during an

electrical storm.

• The Total Access 900e Series is intended to be installed, maintained, and serviced by

qualified service personnel only.

• Ethernet cables are intended for intrabuilding use only. Connecting an ADTRAN unit

directly to Ethernet cables that run outside the building in which the unit is housed will

void the user's warranty and could create a fire or shock hazard. To connect an

ADTRAN unit to Ethernet cables that run outside the building, ADTRAN's Ethernet

Port Protection Device (EPPD) (P/N 1700502G1) must be connected between the unit

and the outside plant cable. Use of any Ethernet protector other than ADTRAN's for

this purpose will void the user's warranty.

• To access the CLI of the Total Access 900e, you will also need a PC with terminal

emulation software and a console port cable. Instructions on how to access the CLI are

available in the quick start guide shipped with your unit or online at ADTRAN’s

Support Forum.

• Refer to your Total Access 900e Series quick start guide shipped with your unit or

available online at ADTRAN’s Support Forum

for instructions on how to access the

GUI and the CLI.
