6. MAINTENANCE

The TA 850 BCU does not require routine maintenance for design operation.

ADTRAN does not recommend that repairs be attempt- ed in the field. Repair services are obtained by returning the defective unit to ADTRAN Customer Service de- partment.

Figure 3. DB-9 Connector Pinout

DS0 test equipment is used to test DS0 access modules such as the OCU DP, DS0 DP, or U-BR1TE. Once the test equipment is connected to the reference clock source, individual tests can be performed on DS0 access mod- ules using the faceplate bantam jacks on each unit.

T1 Loopbacks

The TA 850 supports several T1 loopbacks via the craft interface. These loopbacks include:

Initiating a remote payload or line loopback com- mand (ESF mode only).

Responding to a remote payload or line loopback command (ESF mode only).

Responding to a remote CSU loopback command.

Figure 2 on page 3 displays where the various loop- backs occur in the TA 850 BCU circuitry.

Self Test

The BCU goes into self test when inserted into an active TA 850 chassis. The self test checks internal BCU circuit- ry. A failed test causes the faceplate Network T1 LED to blink red.

Flash Upload

The TA 850 BCU can flash upload firmware to the unit using the front panel VT 100 craft interface. Flash up- load is useful for product upgrade or enhancements. Flash upload procedures are as follows:

1.Obtain firmware, available by diskette or email, from ADTRAN Customer Service.

2.Connect to the craft interface port using instructions found in “OPTIONS” on page 2.

3.Once connected, enter the Bank Controller submenu and select Upload Code.

4.To upload code, select Load new code and follow the instructions on the screen. The user is offered the opportunity to increase the baud rate from 9600 to

19.2K, 38.4 K, or 57.6 K. Be sure that your terminal device can support a higher speed before selecting. Also, some terminal emulation packages (such as Hyperterminal) require that the current session be disconnected and reconnected after changing from one baud rate to another.

5.Continue to follow the instructions on the screen, noting that the TA 850 BCU uses the XMODEM pro- tocol to transfer code.

6.After successfully uploading code, the TA 850 Bank Controller will reset itself and resume operation.

7.WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

ADTRAN will replace or repair this product within 10 years from the date of shipment if it does not meet its published specifications or fails while in service. For de- tailed warranty, repair, and return information refer to the ADTRAN Equipment Warranty and Repair and Re- turn Policy Procedure.

Return Material Authorization (RMA) is required prior to returning equipment to ADTRAN.

850 specifications

ADTRAN 850 is a high-performance digital subscriber line (DSL) solution designed to meet the ever-evolving demands of telecommunications providers and their customers. This innovative platform enables operators to deliver high-speed broadband services over existing copper infrastructure, significantly enhancing the user experience.

One of the standout features of the ADTRAN 850 is its support for G.fast technology. G.fast is a next-generation access technology that allows for data rates of up to 1 Gbps over short distances. Utilizing advanced modulation techniques, G.fast is capable of providing ultra-broadband speeds to customers residing within close proximity to the distribution point. This capability significantly expands the service options for operators seeking to improve their last-mile connectivity.

The ADTRAN 850 also integrates with VDSL2, allowing service providers to leverage their existing DSL networks effectively. VDSL2 enhances bandwidth capabilities and can deliver speeds of up to 100 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream. This dual compatibility ensures that operators can maximize their investments while transitioning to more advanced technologies.

In terms of characteristics, the ADTRAN 850 is built with robustness and scalability in mind. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of deployments, from small rural communities to dense urban areas. The platform supports multiple service types, including residential and business services, and allows for customizable bandwidth allocation based on user needs.

Moreover, the ADTRAN 850 is equipped with advanced management capabilities. Its web-based management interface provides operators with actionable insights into network performance and customer usage patterns. This ensures proactive maintenance and optimization of the network, which is essential for maintaining high service quality.

Security features are also prominent in the ADTRAN 850, with built-in encryption and secure access protocols to protect sensitive customer data. This focus on security aligns with increasing regulatory requirements and customer expectations regarding data privacy.

In conclusion, the ADTRAN 850 is a versatile and powerful DSL solution that stands out for its support of G.fast and VDSL2 technologies, remarkable scalability, and robust management capabilities. Its ability to provide high-speed broadband services over existing copper lines makes it an essential tool for telecommunications providers looking to enhance their service offerings and improve customer satisfaction in today’s digital age.
