PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ATLAS 550 is a modular, highly scalable platform that provides robust solutions for the wide area communication needs of
The ATLAS 550 is a lower bandwidth version of the ATLAS 800PLUS. The ATLAS 550 contains a
The ATLAS 550 architecture also includes a packet switching and a circuit switching bussing scheme. The result is a system capable of supporting bandwidth requirements up to four T1/E1 or Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) cir- cuits. Designed for standalone, rackmount, or wallmount installations, the ATLAS 550 Base Unit provides two
The ATLAS 550 modules include the following:
•Dual Nx 56/64 Option Module
•Dual T1/PRI Option Module
•Quad Basic Rate ISDN Option Module
•Octal/Quad FXS Option Module
•Octal/Quad FX0 Option Module
•Resource Host Module
•Voice Compress Resource Module
•T1 Network Interface Module
With the ATLAS 550, you can consolidate your voice, data, and video appli- cations into a single platform while optimizing wide area bandwidth and re- ducing equipment costs. The ATLAS 550 architecture and the chassis’ four expansion slots allow for a variety of modules, making it one of the most ver- satile access systems on the market. With the appropriate modules installed, the two main functions of the ATLAS 550 are to act as an Access Router and an Access Switch.
