Quick Startup Guide

11.Enter the IP address and Netmask parameters of the access server at the remote site. This creates a static route to the access server’s network which is entered into the Express XL/XLT’s IP route table.

12.Move the cursor over the RIP menu. Check with the network administra- tor for the type of routing protocol used. The Express XL/XLT supports RIP versions 1 and 2. The protocol is set in the Protocol parameter.

13.Select Yes for the Triggered parameter. This will prevent periodic RIP up- dates that keep the ISDN link from going “idle.”

14.Select Yes for the Retain parameter. This will allow the routes learned from the access server to be saved in the IP routing table. Access to any of those networks from the workstation will cause this profile to be dialed.

15.Use the left arrow to get back to the previous menu. Use the down arrow to view the IPX menu parameters in the right pane.

16.This is similar to steps 13 and 14. Select Yes for Triggered and Yes for Re- tain. This will allow the ISDN link to go to an idle state and permit the Express XL/XLT to “spoof” the server information obtained from the ac- cess server. A similar configuration must be selected on the access server.

17.Use the arrows to get the Dial Out menu parameters for this profile.

18.Enter the phone number of the access server in Number 1. If configured by the administrator to use two B-channels using Multilink PPP, set the Initial Channels field to 2. Some PPP protocols, if they exist in the access server, will allow the second channel to come into play only if the band- width is needed. If this is the case, the Express XL/XLT will automatically negotiate this with the access server.

19.Now move to the Bandwidth menu for this profile. Once there, use the right arrow to move to the On Demand submenu.

20.Set the Mode parameter to On. This enables the dynamic bandwidth fea- tures of the Express XL/XLT.

21.Select the Idle Timeout parameter and enter the number of seconds the Express XL/XLT should wait before hanging up the connection when no traffic is present. A value of 120 seconds is typical. A value of 0 means nev- er idle the link.

22.All the parameters for this Connection List profile are complete. To save them, press the left arrow to get to the top (main) menu; when prompted

23.Set up the computer workstation’s IP and IPX parameters as instructed by the network administrator. The Express XL/XLT’s IP address should be the computer’s default gateway.

The ADTRAN Express XL is a high-capacity, next-generation fiber optic access platform. It is engineered to support a wide array of technologies, including Passive Optical Network (PON) standards such as GPON and XGSPON. The Express XL's architecture allows for seamless scalability, making it a perfect fit for both small-scale deployments and expansive network rollouts. What sets it apart is its ability to deliver ultra-fast broadband services to residential, business, and mobile backhaul customers with its impressive throughput capabilities.

On the other hand, the Express XLT builds upon the success of the Express XL by incorporating advanced features aimed at maximizing operational efficiency. It supports technologies including Active Ethernet and offers flexible network configurations to meet specific service requirements. Both models utilize ADTRAN’s innovative Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation technology, which dynamically allocates bandwidth to users based on real-time demand, ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction.

A key characteristic of both ADTRAN Express XL and XLT is their energy efficiency. Designed to minimize operational costs, these units use power-saving technologies that reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. Furthermore, they include built-in support for network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN), providing operators with the agility to adapt their networks in response to changing market conditions.

In addition to their advanced technological underpinnings, the Express XL and XLT boast an intuitive management interface, simplifying network monitoring and management tasks. They also feature comprehensive telemetry and analytics capabilities that help operators gain insights into network performance, optimize configurations, and troubleshoot potential issues before they affect end users.

Ultimately, the ADTRAN Express XL and Express XLT are pivotal components for service providers aiming to deliver high-speed broadband services effectively. With their blend of flexibility, scalability, and energy efficiency, these access platforms are well-positioned to meet the current and future demands of telecommunications networks worldwide.
