Section 1 System Description Total Access 600 Series System Manual

1.SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Total Access 600 Series contains Integrated Access Devices (IAD) designed for cost-effective deployment of voice and data services at the customer premises. The Total Access 600 Series benefits integrated communications providers (such as CLECs, ILECs, and ISPs) who require a customer premises device with integrated voice and data functions, and provides a viable migration path from TDM to packet-based technology. These IADs support applications such as VoDSL and VoATM.

The Total Access 600 Series features remote management, built-in IP router, and an optional DSX-1 interface (factory installed only). An optional battery backup is also available for many of the models. The units include a Nx56/64 V.35 interface, 10/100BaseT interface, FXS ports, and network interfaces (T1, ADSL, SDSL, and SHDSL). The last two digits of the product name indicate the number of on-board FXS ports. The Total Access 604 contains four FXS ports, the Total Access 608 contains eight FXS ports, etc. The units can provision, test, and provide status for any of the voice and data interfaces. All connections are made via the rear panel.

This line of IADs includes both the ATM and TDM versions of the Total Access 604/608/612/616/624 and Total Access 600R systems. Until now, the Total Access TDM units have been running firmware version A.03.XX. Recently, A.04.XX has been released to support the TDM Total Access IADs. The development of A.04.XX code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total Access product line, as it allows all Total Access family members to share the same base code. This means that features and fixes are more easily implemented and are propagated across the product line. The User Interface Guide section of this manual represents the A.04 firmware changes. There are two possible upgrade paths: (1) Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly and; (2) Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.92 (Transition Build) to A.04.

Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.92 (Transition Build) to A.04 will save the unit’s configuration. Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly (or from A.04 to A.03 directly) will erase the unit’s configuration. See DLP-14, A.03 to A.04 Firmware Upgrade, for more details.

Units manufactured after October 2002 will not be compatible with some older versions of Total Access 612, 616, and 624 software. Refer to the following information if an older version of software is to be loaded into the unit. For TDM applications, please use software revision A.03.58 or later. For ATM applications, software revision D.01.30 or later is required. Using incompatible software will cause the unit to malfunction. For more information or technical assistance, please call ADTRAN Technical Support at 888-4ADTRAN. Please have the unit serial number available when contacting Technical Support.
