FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio frequencies. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
NOTE
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with
Class A FCC limits.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Canadian Emissions Requirements

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled
“Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil nuerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux
appareils numeriques de Class A prescrites dans la norme sur le materiel brouilleur:
“Appareils Numeriques,” NMB-003 edictee par le ministre des Communications.
Canadian Equipment Limitations

Notice: The Canadian Industry and Science Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network
protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected
to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside
wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a
certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware
that compliance with the above limitations may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
iv 61200290L1-1G
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance

facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contract the appropriate electric inspection authority or an electri-
cian, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent
overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all devices does not exceed
100.

SECTION 1, PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Section 1
Product Overview
1. INTRODUCTION
The MX2800 is an M13 multiplexer that consolidates T1 and E1 signals into a T3 circuit. This unit
provides a cost-effective, versatile tool for combining independent T1s, E1s, or a combination of the two
over the same T3 circuit.
The MX2800 houses two hot-swappable controller cards which provide 1:1 redundancy for the T1 and T3
signals, as well as the T3 connections.
Embedded simple network management protocol (SNMP) and Telnet are available through the modem
port using serial line internet protocol/point-to-point protocol (SLIP/PPP) or through the 10Base-T
Ethernet port. Using the Management Information Base II (MIB II), RFC 1407 standards, and an
ADTRAN enterprise MIB, the MX2800 can be configured, monitored, and diagnosed with standard
SNMP network management programs such as Hewlett Packard’s HP OpenView™ and Cabletron’s
Spectrum®. In addition, the SysLog Host Daemon allows remote monitoring, collecting, and logging of
MX2800 events in realtime. This information is useful during installation setups and/or troubleshooting.
Complete configuration, loopbacks, and performance monitoring are available through SNMP, Telnet, or a
VT100 terminal interface. This connection can be made via Ethernet, a local EIA-232 link, or through the
built-in V.34 modem. The modem can dial out a “cry for help” for units located in unmanned facilities. The
MX2800 is designed for installation in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack.
The major features of the MX2800 are as follows:
• Built-in 1:1 redundancy
• Hot-swappable controller cards
• Independent, dual-load sharing, redundant power supplies
• Embedded SNMP and Telnet management through 10Base-T Ethernet or SLIP/PPP dialup
• Detailed performance monitoring for local and remote units
• Simplified configuration through the VT100 terminal menu structure
• Integrated V.34 modem for dial-up and dial-down access
• Capability of backhauling multiple service types (T1/E1)
• AC or DC power
• Available –48V or 24V power supplies
• External DS3 clock option
• M13 and C-bit signaling support

NOTE
Information regarding the built-in modem applies to the part numbers
4202290L1, 4202290L2, 4202290L3, and 4202290L4.
2. CONTROLLER CARD 1:1 REDUNDANCY

The MX2800 supports two hot-swappable controller cards which provide 1:1 redundancy for the T1 and
T3 signals and connections. With two cards installed, the MX2800 can recover from circuit or network
failure. Refer to Section 7, Circuit and Network Redundancy for more information.
3. T3 OVERVIEW
A T3 provides the same bandwidth as 28 T1s. Typically, leasing a T3 line costs the same as eight to ten
T1s. Using the MX2800, a single T3 can provide internet connectivity and voice (local and long distance)
to individual sites across up to 28 individual DSX-1s. T3 is also extremely cost effective for backhauling
local and long distance voice.
4. SNMP
The MX2800’s embedded SNMP feature allows the unit to be accessed and controlled by a network
manager through the 10Base-T local area network (LAN) port. The MX2800 supports the MIB-II standard,
RFC 1213, and the ADTRAN Enterprise Specific MIB.
NOTE
MIB files are available from ADTRAN in the support section of the
ADTRAN Web page at www.adtran.com.
The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols used to exchange information between the
network management system (NMS) and the managed devices, as well as to the structure of device
management databases. SNMP has three basic components: the network manager, the agent, and the MIB.
Network Manager
The network manager is a set of control programs that collect, control, and present data pertinent to the
operation of the network devices. These programs reside on a network management station.
1-2 61200290L1-1G
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Product Overview, Section 1
Agent
The agent is a control program that resides in every network device. This program responds to queries and
commands from the network manager, returns requested information or invokes configuration changes
initiated by the manager, and sends unsolicited traps to the manager.
MIB
An MIB is an industry standard presentation of all status and configuration parameters supported by a
network device.
5. TELNET
Telnet provides a password protected, remote login facility to the MX2800 that allows a remote user to
control the MX2800 through the terminal menus. Only one Telnet menu session may be active at a time.
6. TL1
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is an ASCII-based language that supports both command-response and
autonomous (NE) message generation. Commonly, TL1 is used over an X.25 packet network but is
completely independent of any physical layer protocols. For the MX2800, TL1 is implemented as a Telnet
session running over Ethernet or PPP. Currently, up to eight TL1 Telnet connections can be active at a time.
7. AVAILABLE OPTIONS
The following optional equipment is available for use with the MX2800. Contact a local distributor or the
ADTRAN Sales Department for more information. Refer to Appendix F, Warranty for contact information.

The following UL requirements must be met during installation of the MX2800 DC version:
1. Disconnect all power sources prior to servicing. Unit may use multiple power sources.
2. Input: Minimum 48 VDC, 0.8 amps
3. Input: Minimum 120 VAC, 0.32 amps
4. Connect to a reliably grounded –48 VDC source which is electrically isolated from the AC source. Use
24 VDC source for 1202289L3.
5. The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be a fuse or circuit breaker rated minimum 48 VDC,
maximum 20 amps.
61200290L1-1G 2-3
6. A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated must be incorporated in the
field wiring.
7. The chassis should be connected to an earth ground using the ground stud located between the AC and
DC power sources on the rear panel.
8. The unit must be installed in accordance with the requirements of NEC NFPA 70.
9. The unit must be installed in accordance with Articles 400 and 364.8 of the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70 when installed outside of a Restricted Access Location (i.e., Central Office, behind a locked
door, service personnel area only).
10. Care should be taken not to upset the stability of the equipment rack after installation is complete.
CAUTION
Use copper conductors only for DC power and ground connection.
5. RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION
The MX2800 can be mounted into a standard 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack. Follow these steps to
mount the unit into a rack:
1. Install the mounting flanges on each side of the MX2800 at one of the three available positions.
CAUTION
Be sure to install the flanges with the screws provided.
2. After the flanges have been installed, position the MX2800 at the correct location within the rack and
secure the mounting flanges to the mounting rails of the rack.
3. Make all network, DTE, and power connections to the rear of the unit. Refer to Power Up on page 2-2
for more information on making the DC power connection.
4. Using the 8-position modular to DB-9 female connector and the 8-pin to 8-pin modular cable, connect
a VT100 terminal device to the CRAFT port on the front panel of the unit.
NOTE
Two MX2800s can be stacked with out any spacing between the units.
ADTRAN recommends 1U (1.75”) of separation above and below the
two stacked units. This spacing allows the units to dissipate heat. The
design of the MX2800 uses the chassis to distribute heat generated by the
unit’s internal cards. This design allows the units to operate without a
cooling fan, thus increasing overall reliability of the units.

LAN Port
The LAN port is an 8-pin modular connector that provides a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN interface. This LAN
interface is used for SNMP and Telnet control.
NOTE
Connect the LAN port to intra-building wiring only.
Modem Port
The modem port is an 8-pin modular jack that provides a telephone line (POTS) connection for the internal
V.34 modem.
NOTE
Information regarding the built-in modem applies to the part numbers
4202290L1, 4202290L2, 4202290L3, and 4202290L4.
The MX2800 can be configured as a dial-in host and also as a dial-out-on-trap device (the unit dials out to
a specified host to report error conditions).
Noncritical and Critical Alarm Connectors

The alarm connectors connect to the three contacts of a Form C type relay on the main board of the
MX2800. This relay is activated any time the MX2800 detects an alarm condition on the T3 network
interface. Both NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open) contacts are provided.
Connect alarms to one of the three-position modular terminal lug connectors. These connectors simplify
the initial wiring and connection or disconnection of the alarms when replacing rackmount units. Once a
modular connector is wired, push it firmly into the rear panel NONCRITICAL or CRITICAL connector.
The alarm functions can be enabled or disabled through the Alarm Relays section of the Configuration
menu. For more information, refer to Alarm Relay Configuration on page 3-33.
DSX-3 Interfaces
The DSX-3 network interfaces are full-duplex circuits provided by four BNC coaxial cable connections
(two for each controller card). The receive data from the network is connected to the Rx (IN) connectors,
while the transmit data from the MX2800 is connected to the Tx (OUT) connectors. Refer to Section 7,
Circuit and Network Redundancy for more specific information about connecting the DS3 interface in
redundant and nonredundant systems.
61200290L1-1G 2-7
NOTE
DSX-3 interfaces must be connected using coaxial cables that have the
shields grounded at both ends.
DSX-1/E1 Interfaces
The DSX-1/E1 interfaces are 64-pin amphenol connectors. These interfaces provide Tx and Rx
connections between the unit and equipment such as wire-wrap patch panels, punch-down panels, or
breakout panels.
NOTE
Connect the DSX-1/E1 interfaces to intra-building wiring only.

8. REPLACING OR INSTALLING CARDS

The MX2800 is designed with hot-swappable controller cards and power supplies. To replace or install a
controller card or power supply, remove the front cover of the MX2800 with a phillips head screwdriver.
Once the front of the MX2800 has been removed, the power supply and controller card slots will be
visible. The two power supplies are located at the left of the chassis, and the controller cards are stacked on
the right side of the chassis. To remove a card, use the locking lever(s) to pull the backplane connector
away from the backplane. Once the backplane connector has been disconnected, carefully pull the card
straight out of the chassis. To replace or install a card, line up the card with the guide grooves and carefully
insert the card into the chassis until the backplane connector reaches the backplane. Finally, use the locking
levers to seat the card all the way into the slot of the chassis. Once all cards have been replaced or installed,
replace the front cover of the MX2800. Figure 2-11 shows how to remove and replace the front cover.

2. NETWORK INTERFACE
Select Network Interface to access the network configuration parameters. See Figure 3-3. Configure the
MX2800 network settings to match the DS3 signal received from the service provider.
Figure 3-3. Network Configuration Menu
DS3 Configuration
The DS3 Configuration selections are used to configure the DS3 network settings to match the desired
application. Descriptions of these settings are explained below.
Framing
The framing format is used to match the format of the receive signal at the network interface. The MX2800
supports C-bit and M13 framing formats.
NOTE
M13 may not be selected when IP Forwarding is active.
Line Length
The line length is set to reflect the physical length of the DS3 network line.
• Long should be used if the cabling distance exceeds 225 feet.
• Short should be used if the distance is less than 225 feet.
3-4 61200290L1-1G
NOTE
First and second generation DS3 controller cards (P/N 1200288Lx and P/
N 1202288Lx) use Long for distances over 50 feet and Short for distances
under 50 feet.
NOTE
Fifth generation DS3 controller cards (P/N 1205288Lx) do not require a
DS3 line length setting; therefore, Line Length does not appear as a menu
item.
Timing
When the MX2800 is connected to a network that provides timing, configure the MX2800 for LOOP
timing to derive timing from the network. If the MX2800 is the master timing source for the circuit,
configure the MX2800 to LOCAL. In applications where two MX2800s are connected back-to-back with
an un-channelized DS3, configure one MX2800 to LOOP and one MX2800 to LOCAL.
Remote Loopbacks
The following four options are available for remote loopbacks:
• FEAC/C-BIT is used to allow the MX2800 to respond to remote loopback requests received over either
the DS3 Far End Alarm and Control (FEAC) channel and/or DS2-level C bits. This mode is valid in
both C-BIT and M13 framing formats.
• FEAC is used to allow the MX2800 to respond only to remote loopback requests received over the DS3
FEAC channel. This mode is valid only when using C-BIT framing. In this mode, DS2 C-bit loopbacks
will be ignored.
• C-BIT is used to allow the MX2800 to respond only to remote loopback requests received over DS2 C
bits. This mode is available when operating in either C-BIT or M13 framing. In this mode, FEAC
loopbacks received when operating in C-BIT framing will be ignored.
• Disabled is used to ignore all out-of-band loopback requests (FEAC and DS2 C-BIT). When Disabled
is selected, the MX2800 will still respond to individual T1 in-band CSU/NIU loopbacks if so configured
in the T1/E1 Loopback Detection menu.
NOTE
Choose FEAC/C-BIT via menus in either C-BIT or M13 framing modes;
however, there is no FEAC channel when framing is set to M13.
Therefore, no DS3 far end alarms or loopback requests via the FEAC will
be valid when the MX2800 is configured for M13.
61200290L1-1G 3-5
XCV Threshold
Excessive code violations (XVC) Threshold sets a limit on CVs accepted by the unit before it switches
controller cards. If set to Disabled, code violations will not cause the unit to switch controller cards. The
threshold limits are described in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1. XCV Threshold Limits
Setting The unit switches controller cards if...
1E-3 More than one out of every 1,000 bits received on the DS3 contains a code violation
1E-6 More than one out of every 1,000,000 bits received on the DS3 contains a code violation
The MX2800 houses two controller cards for 1:1 protection against hardware failure. The two cards can
also provide network protection, supporting two T3 circuits simultaneously. The selections in this menu
allow customizing the unit’s protection setup.
Active Controller
This field displays A or B, indicating the active controller card. This setting can be used to force the
controller cards to switch. For example, if controller card A is active and B is selected, a switch-over
occurs immediately.
Network Protection
This field enables or disables the unit’s ability to automatically route information to the backup T3 in the
event of a primary T3 failure. If enabled, all information is automatically routed to the backup T3. If
disabled, the stand-by controller protects against failures of the active controller.
Maximum Switch Threshold

The value entered in this field determines the number of times per hour the unit is allowed to switch
between controller cards. If, in an hour, the cards switch more than the Maximum Number of Switches, the
unit issues a trap and stops switching cards for the next 24 hours. Refer to Trap Descriptions on page 3-22.
The default setting is three times an hour. This count may be cleared by clearing Protection Switch alarm
counts. See Figure 5-13 on page 5-14.
Min. Switching Period

After the unit switches controller cards, the number of seconds entered in this field must pass before
another card switch will be allowed. The default setting is 10 seconds.

Miscellaneous
The Miscellaneous menu selections are used to configure the Loopback Timeout and Shutdown Stand-by
settings. Descriptions of these settings are explained below.
Loopback Timeout
The Loopback Timeout option is used to set the loopback timeout to one of the following:
• Disabled
• 1 min.
• 5 min.
• 10 min.
• 15 min.
• 30 min.
• 45 min.
• 1 hr.
• 120 min.
Shutdown Stand-By
The Shutdown Stand-by option causes the system to disable the standby controller card, thus making it
unavailable for protection switches. Once this option has been selected and the standby controller has been
shut down, the option changes to Reset Stand-by. Selecting this option resets and reactivates the standby
controller, thus making it available for protection switching.
DS2 Configuration
The MX2800 can individually frame each of the seven DS2 streams in M12 (four T1s) or G.747 (three
E1s) format. When set to M12 (4xT1), the four T1s for the selected group are framed per ANSI T1.107.
When set to G.747 (3xE1), the first three T1/E1 ports of the selected group are framed per CCITT G.747
into the DS3 stream. The fourth T1/E1 port of the selected group is not available in this mode. Any combi-
nation of M12 (4xT1) and G.747 (3xE1) is allowed.
61200290L1-1G 3-7
3. T1/E1 INTERFACE
The T1/E1 Interface menu, see Figure 3-4, is used to activate/deactivate individual T1s and E1s and to set
their line coding, length, loopback detection, circuit protection, and line ID string. The T1/E1 code viola-
tion threshold is also configured through this menu. Configuration selections are described in the following
sections.
NOTE
A DS2 can be divided into either three E1s or four T1s. Therefore, when
dealing with an E1 configuration, some of the fields in the T1/E1
Interface menus do not apply (and therefore display N/A).
Figure 3-4. T1/E1 Interface Menu
3-8 61200290L1-1G
T1/E1 State
The T1/E1 lines are set to Disabled, Enabled, or Auto Enable. In Auto Enable, the port is not fully enabled
(and alarms are not issued) until a T1/E1 signal is detected on that port’s receiver for a specified period of
time. See Figure 3-5 on page 3-9. This period of time is set by the Auto Enable Delay option. The options
are as follows:
• 2 seconds (default)
• 1 hour
• 2 hours
• 12 hours
• 1 day
• 2 days
• 7 days
Figure 3-5. T1/E1 State Menu
Set Multiple
The Set Multiple, see Figure 3-6 on page 3-10, option is used to enable or disable a contiguous group or all
of the T1/E1s at one time. To enable or disable all T1/E1s, set First to 1 and Last to 28. Enter Apply settings
before leaving the menu. To enable or disable only some of the T1/E1s, set First and Last to correspond to
the desired lines. Enter Apply settings. Either leave the menu at this point or continue to enter new First and
Last numbers for other lines.

T1/E1 Loopback Detection

The T1/E1 Loopback Detection option is used to set how the T1/E1 lines respond to loopback requests
coming from the network. See Figure 3-9 on page 3-13.
3-12 61200290L1-1G
Figure 3-9. Loopback Detection Menu
The following options are available for detection:

• Disabled is used to cause the T1/E1 lines to ignore in-band loop-up and loop-down codes.
• CSU is used to cause the channel to loop up or loop down when it receives a CSU loop-up or loop-down
pattern for more than 5 seconds.
• NIU is used to cause the channel to loop up or loop down when it receives an NIU loop-up or loop-down
pattern for more than 5 seconds.
Select Set Multiple to set a contiguous group or all of the T1/E1s to the same value at the same time. Refer
to Set Multiple on page 3-9 for a description of the Set Multiple option.
T1/E1 Circuit Protection

T1/E1 Circuit Protection determines which circuit is allowed to initiate a protection switch if a failure in
the circuitry for that channel is detected. See Figure 3-10 on page 3-14. If a T1/E1 is set to Disabled, the
failure of the circuitry of that one channel does not cause a protection switch. If set to Enabled, the failure
of a channel causes a protection switch to occur if the Protection Threshold setting in this menu is
exceeded.
61200290L1-1G 3-13
Figure 3-10. Circuit Protection Menu
The Protection Threshold setting determines how many of the Enabled lines must fail before a card switch
occurs. If the failure of a single protected (enabled) line is to cause a card switch, set the Protection Thresh-
old to 1. Choices include 1 through 28.
Select Set Multiple to set a contiguous group or all of the T1/E1s to the same value at the same time. Refer
to Set Multiple on page 3-9 for a description of the Set Multiple selection.
T1/E1 Line Identification

This field is used to enter user-configurable text strings to name the individual T1/E1 lines. See Figure 3-
11 on page 3-15. This field will accept up to 18-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and special
characters.

Figure 3-11. Line Identification Menu
XCV Threshold
This value sets a limit on excessive code violations (ECVs) accepted by the unit over an individual T1/E1
line before it switches controller cards. If set to Disabled, code violations will not cause the unit to switch
controller cards. The threshold limits are described in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2. XCV Threshold Limits for T1/E1
Setting The unit switches controller cards if...
1E-3 More than one out of every 1,000 bits received on a T1/E1 line contains a code violation
1E-6 More than one out of every 1,000,000 bits received on a T1/E1 line contains a code violation

4. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Configure the MX2800 for management through SNMP, Telnet, or a VT100 interface. See Figure 3-12 on
page 3-16. Embedded SNMP and Telnet are available via a SLIP/PPP modem port or 10Base-T Ethernet
interface. This menu also includes options used to customize the unit’s alarm and trap generation, security
setup, and equipment identification. The fields of the System Management Configuration menu vary
depending upon the configuration of the options in the shelf.
Figure 3-12. System Management Configuration Menu
CAUTION
Configuration changes to Local IP Address, Gateway IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and IP Hosts will not be implemented unless all Telnet sessions are
closed. Changes made while Telnet sessions are active will invoke a
warning message on the console.
NOTE
If the unit is not equipped with an internal modem, Dialup Option will not
be available.
3-16 61200290L1-1G
Management Options
The Management options sets the fields that allow SNMP, Telnet, or VT100 interface access. The options
are listed below.
Local IP Address
This field is used to enter the MX2800 IP address. This IP address applies to the LAN or modem port when
configured for SLIP/PPP. This address is available from a network administrator.
Gateway IP Address
This field is used to enter the gateway IP address of the MX2800. This address is necessary only if the
MX2800 and the network manager are connected through a gateway node. If an IP packet is to be sent to a
different network, the unit sends it to the gateway.
Subnet Mask
This field is used to enter the subnet mask of the MX2800. This address is available from a network admin-
istrator.
Modem Remote IP Address

This field is used to enter the IP address of a server that accesses the MX2800 via a modem over PPP or
SLIP. This option is available only if the Management Port is set to LAN + MODEM or DS3 + MODEM.
Management Port
This field is used to assign the management port as either LAN, MODEM, LAN+MODEM, DS3, or
DS3+MODEM. The Modem setting applies only to units equipped with an internal modem.
Forward IP to Remote DS3

This field is used to enable or disable the IP forwarding feature that allows IP access to a remote MX2800
across the DS3 channel. With this feature, the far-end MX2800 appears as if it is on the same LAN as the
near-end MX2800. To access any IP related feature on the far-end unit, address packets to the IP address of
the far-end unit.
NOTE
If the near-end and far-end MX2800s are currently on the same LAN, it is
important to configure the far-end MX2800 Management Port option for
DS3 or DS3 + MODEM before enabling Forward IP To Remote DS3 on
the near-end unit. Doing so prevents multiple MAC addresses from being
associated with the same IP address in the networks ARP tables.
61200290L1-1G 3-17
NOTE
The DS3 must be up and running error-free and using C-Bit framing (this
feature will not work with M13 framing). The Management Port option
for the near-end unit (one connected to the Ethernet LAN) must be set to
either LAN or LAN + MODEM. A valid IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway must be entered for the near-end unit.
DS3 Remote IP Address

If Forward IP to Remote DS3 is Enabled, set the DS3 Remote IP Address to a valid IP address on the same
subnet as the near-end unit. All packets that are sent to this IP address will be forwarded across the DS3
channel to the far-end unit.
NOTE
The IP Address of the remote unit must be the same as the one that is
entered for the DS3 Remote IP Address in the near-end unit's menus. The
Management Port option for the far-end unit must also be set to DS3 or
DS3+MODEM to be managed remotely over the DS3. The Subnet Mask
and Default Gateway do not need to be set in the far-end unit's menus.
The DS3 Remote IP Address must be on the same subnet as the Local IP
Address.
DS3 IP MTU
This field is used to select the maximum IP datagram size (in bytes) for the IP forwarding link over the
DS3. This option should be left at it default and preferred value of 260. If and only if the device on the
other side of the DS3 facility is an ADTRAN device that also has this option, then both side can be set to
1500 to avoid fragmentation of large packets. Otherwise, leave the setting at 260 to avoid lost packets.
Dialup Options
This field is used to configure the dialup capabilities of the MX2800. See Figure 3-13. These options
apply only to units equipped with an internal modem.
3-18 61200290L1-1G
Figure 3-13. Dialup Options Menu
Primary and Secondary Phone Numbers

When the MX2800 dials out to send a trap, it first dials the Primary Phone Number. If the call is unsuccess-
ful, it tries the Secondary Phone Number. Attempts between the two numbers continue until a call is estab-
lished and the trap is reported (or until each number’s maximum for redial attempts is reached). Refer to
Maximum Redial Attempts on page 3-19.
Initializing String
The AT command entered in this field is used to initialize the modem. Normally, this field should be left at
the default setting (ATZ).
Dial String
The AT command entered in this field causes the modem to dial out. Normally, this field should be left at
the default setting (ATDT).
Maximum Redial Attempts

The MX2800 attempts to establish a call the number of times entered in this field. If a successful call is not
established after the final attempt, the MX2800 discards the trap messages.
Idle Timeout
After establishing a call and sending trap messages, the MX2800 remains online for the amount of seconds
entered in this field. If the field is set to 0, the unit hangs up as soon as the trap is sent.
61200290L1-1G 3-19
Connection Timeout
The MX2800 waits for a connection for the number of seconds entered in this field. Timing begins as soon
as the dial command is issued. This field must be set for greater than 20 seconds.
Pause Between Calls

The MX2800 waits between redial attempts for the number of seconds entered in this field.
Dialout On Trap
This field is used to enable or disable the MX2800’s ability to dial out to report traps. Modem Mode
configured for VT-100 reports error conditions in plain ASCII with the following information:
• The Unit ID value programmed in the Equipment Identification portion of the System Management
screen. Refer to System Management on page 3-16.
• A trap code indicating the error condition
• A text description of the fault
• The date and time when the error was logged
When Modem Mode is configured for PPP or SLIP, the MX2800 logs into the PPP/SLIP host and reports
the error conditions to the hosts designated under Trap IP Addresses. Refer to Trap IP Addresses on
page 3-21.
Answer on Ring
This option enables or disables the MX2800’s ability to accept incoming calls. If enabled, incoming calls
are automatically answered by the MX2800, allowing remote performance of management functions.
Modem Mode
This field is used to select the Modem port function for the desired application (VT-100, PPP, or SLIP).
The Modem port, located on the rear panel of the MX2800, provides a telephone line (POTS) for connec-
tion to the internal V.34 modem. This setting applies only if the Management Port is set to Modem. Refer
to Management Port on page 3-17.
Modem Baud Rate

This option is used to set the maximum operating speed in bps of the Modem port:
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600
• 19200
• 38400
3-20 61200290L1-1G
Hangup
Selecting this option forces the MX2800 to end an established call.
Last Modem Response

This status field displays the last modem response to the MX2800. Possible responses are as follows:
• OK
• Connect
• Busy
• Error
• No Dialtone
• No Carrier
SNMP Management Options
SNMP State
Use this menu to Enable or Disable SNMP for the MX2800. When disabled, the MX2800 ignores all
incoming SNMP packets and does not transmit SNMP packets.
Trap IP Addresses
This field is used to enter up to five IP addresses of SNMP managers to which the MX2800 sends traps.
Trap Generation
Use this menu, see Figure 3-14, to designate which error conditions cause the unit to send trap messages.

ure
Read Community Name

This field is used to enter the authentication strings used for SNMP management. Match the MX2800 to
the SNMP manager for read privileges.
3-24 61200290L1-1G
Write Community Name

This field is used to enter the authentication strings used for SNMP management. Match the MX2800 to
the SNMP manager for write privileges.
Trap Community Name

This field is used to enter the identification string used for trap management. This string accompanies all
traps transmitted by the MX2800.
System Name
This value is equivalent to the sysName item defined in RFC1213. The value is an administratively-
assigned name for the managed node. By convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name.
Network Date/Time Option

The MX2800 is capable of having the date and time provisioned from a remote server using one of two
supported protocols: SNTP version 3 (per RFC1769) and Network Time (per RFC868).
Several options are available for provisioning this feature, all of which are accessible only via menus by
users with Admin-level privileges. These options reside in the System Management menu.
State
This option sets the mode or protocol used to retrieve the date and time from the server. Possible values are
Disabled, SNTP, and Net Time. When the State option is set to Disabled, the user should explicitly set the
date and time locally (via menus, TL1, or SNMP). If the State option is set to SNTP or Net Time, then the
product prevents any attempt to set the time locally. The default value is Disabled.
Server IP Address
This option sets the IP address of the server to be queried for the date and time.
Refresh Period
This option sets the length of time between queries to the server. The available values range are as follows:
• 1 minutes interval
• 15 minutes interval (default)
61200290L1-1G 3-25
DST Automatic Adjustment

This option sets automatic adjustment for North American daylight saving time. Available values are
Enabled and Disabled. The default value is Enabled. This automatic adjustment is performed only in
association with responses from the server. The automatic adjustment does not take place if the State
option is disabled and/or if the server cannot be contacted.
Local Time Zone

This option sets the time zone in which the MX2800 unit is located. Possible values consist of North
American time zones from Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time to Atlantic Standard Time. The default value is
Eastern Standard Time.
NOTE
The MX2800 processes only the Transmit Timestamp value of all SNTP
response messages. Other constructs supported by the protocol (such as
root delay, root dispersion, authentication, etc.) are not processed by the
MX2800.
System Security
User Account Management

This option is used to enter up to 15 user accounts. Each user account is assigned a username, password,
and privilege level. Usernames and passwords are not case sensitive but must be 12 characters or less. Each
user account is assigned a privilege level to provide the option of limiting a user's access to the MX2800.
The four privilege levels are listed below.
Guest
A user with this read-only privilege level can view almost all menu items on the console interface menus
and can perform a limited number of TL1 commands, none of which can alter the product's configuration.
Interface
A user with write-access privilege level can configure items related to the network interface and T1/E1
interface but can not initiate loopbacks and view and/or alter several system-level items such as LAN
configurables.
3-26 61200290L1-1G
Test
A user with write-access privilege level can configure the network interface and T1/E1 interface and can
initiate loopbacks but may not view and/or alter several system-level items such as LAN configurables,
etc.
Admin
With Admin privilege level, all menu items can be viewed and/or altered. Only a user with an Admin user
account can alter the User Account Management information.
User accounts provide access to the MX2800 for console interface sessions and TL1 sessions. Table 3-4
on page 3-30 provides a summary of privileges.
NOTE
The Load Default Settings menu item that is located on the Configuration/
Utilities menu resets the User Account Management table back to the
factory default account adtran/adtran/admin.
RADIUS Authentication
The MX2800 is capable of communicating with a RADIUS server for authentication of menu users and
TL1 users. The RADIUS authentication support is implemented per RFC2865. User account information
in the onboard user database will remain intact when the MX2800 is upgraded to support authentication via
RADIUS.
Several options are available for provisioning RADIUS authentication features, all of which are accessible
only via menus and by users with Admin-level privileges.
RADIUS State
This option sets the RADIUS authentication capabilities as either Enabled or Disabled. The default value is
Disabled.
When the RADIUS State value is Enabled, the following behavior applies when a user enters a username
and password at the MX2800. The MX2800 first authenticates the username and password against the
local user database. If local authentication succeeds, then access is granted to the MX2800 with the privi-
lege level assigned for that account in the onboard database. Local authentication is considered successful
if both the username and password are authenticated, regardless of the privilege level (including Disabled).
If local authentication does not succeed, then the username and password are authenticated against the
RADIUS server. If the RADIUS authentication succeeds, then access to the MX2800 is granted with the
RADIUS Privilege Level set by the user. If the RADIUS authentication does not succeed, which includes
the case where the MX2800 does not receive a response from the server, then the user is denied access to
the MX2800.
Regardless of whether the RADIUS State option is Enabled or Disabled at the MX2800, each user account
that exists in the local user database may be assigned one of the defined privilege levels for the MX2800
(Disabled, Guest, Interface, Test, or Admin). Only a user with the Admin privilege level can access the
local database and the RADIUS options.
61200290L1-1G 3-27
Usernames and passwords stored in the local user database are each limited to 11 ASCII characters.
Usernames and passwords authenticated via RADIUS may each have up to 63 ASCII characters.
When RADIUS authentication is disabled, safeguards are in place that will prevent an Admin-level user
from deleting all Admin-level accounts in the onboard user database. When RADIUS authentication is
enabled, an Admin-level user who was authenticated through RADIUS will be allowed to delete all of the
onboard accounts. This will be allowed to avoid some potential security concerns.
Safeguards will exist that will prevent certain combinations of options involving RADIUS and the local
user database that would effectively remove all means of accessing the MX2800 with Admin privileges.
The recovery mechanism for gaining access via the challenge password (ADTRANPLEASEHELP) is
supported regardless of whether the RADIUS authentication option is enabled or disabled. When a user
enters this password, the MX2800 issues a unique challenge sequence that requires a response provided by
ADTRAN Tech Support for access to the unit.
Local user accounts and passwords for the MX2800 are not case-sensitive. However, case is preserved for
both username and password when authenticating through RADIUS. The TL1 input message specification
limits the characters that may be sent as part of a TL1 command, unless the string is enclosed in double
quotes. This is important when RADIUS authentication is used for authenticating TL1 sessions. Passwords
or usernames with special characters must be placed in double quotes in the ACT-USER command. If
double quotes appear inside the TL1 username or password, each double quote character must be immedi-
ately preceded by the backslash character to avoid confusion with the double quotes surrounding the
username or password.
The MX2800 supports Challenge response messages from the RADIUS server regardless of whether the
login attempt is made via menus or TL1. If a Challenge response is received from the server, then the user
is prompted for additional information. The nature of this additional information is application-dependent.
When the Challenge response is received during an attempt to log in via TL1, then a PLNA TL1 response
is returned to the user and the Challenge message is provided in the TL1 comment field.
Server IP Address
This option sets the IP address of the server to be queried for authentication. The default value is a null IP
address. One IP address is supported.
UDP Port
This option sets the UDP port of the server. The default value is 1812.
Privilege Level
This option sets a single privilege level that applies for all users that are granted access via remote authen-
tication. The possible values are Disabled, Guest, Interface, Test, and Admin. The default value is Guest.
Refer to the appropriate MX2800 documentation for explanations of these privilege levels.
Shared Secret Visibility

This option sets the visibility of the Shared Secret value as displayed in the provisioning menu for
RADIUS authentication options. The possible values are Visible and Invisible. When this option is set to
Invisible, the Shared Secret value is masked with asterisk characters. The default value is Invisible.
3-28 61200290L1-1G
Shared Secret
This option sets the shared secret that is used during the process of authenticating via the RADIUS server.
This value is a case-sensitive ASCII character string that has a maximum length of 63 ASCII characters.
The default value is a null string.
Response Timeout
This option sets the number of seconds the MX2800 will wait for a response before retransmitting the

Updating Software
Select Update Flash Software from the Utilities menu to update software, using either XModem protocol
or TFTP.
NOTE
Before beginning update of Flash software, disable the Auto Save feature
of the MX2800. From the Configuration menu, choose System
Management, then select Auto Save and toggle until it is set to Disable.
Update Via XModem

Updating the Flash Software via XModem requires that a VT100 terminal menu session be active through
the units craft port. To update the software via XModem, follow these steps:
1. From the MX2800 Main Menu, select Configuration, then Utilities, then Update Flash Software, and
then Update via XModem.
2. Once it has been determined where the new binary file is located, select Start to begin the transfer.
3. Once Start has been selected, start the XModem transfer from the terminal menu program that is being
used by selecting or typing the file path for the location of the new binary file. Refer to the appropriate
documentation for the terminal emulator to begin XModem transfer.
4. After the binary file has been selected, the XModem transfer will begin. To cancel a transfer in
progress, press CTRL+X three times. The ACT LED on the active card is solid amber for the duration of
XModem transfer. The ACT LED on the standby card is flashing green.
5. If updating a unit with redundant controller cards, the active controller will begin uploading the new
code to the standby controller after the XModem transfer has completed and the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its Flash memory. If the unit does not have redundant
controller cards, go to Step 7.
6. While the standby card is having code uploaded, the ACT LED on the standby card will be solid
amber. After the code has finished uploading to the standby card, the card will reset itself and begin
running the new code.
3-40 61200290L1-1G
CAUTION
The standby card must remain in place until the upload process is
complete and the ACT LED is no longer solid amber and returns to
flashing green. Removing the standby card during the uploading process
will corrupt the software.
7. The system must be manually reset after downloading new software for the active controller card to
begin running the new code. From the Utilities menu, select System Reset, then select either
Immediate Reset to immediately reset the system or Schedule Reset Time to set a time for the system
to reset. Once the system has been reset, the new software will be running.
NOTE
This function is available only when updating the software through the
craft port.
Update Via TFTP Server

Updating the FLASH Software via TFTP Server requires that the IP address and file name of file to be
downloaded be known. To update the software via TFTP, follow the steps below:
1. Select Update via TFTP Server from the Utilities menu. A new menu displays, allowing the IP address
and file name of the file to be downloaded to the unit to be entered. Once this information is entered,
select Start/Stop Transfer.
2. After the binary file is selected, the TFTP transfer will begin. To cancel a transfer in progress, press
CTRL+X three times. The ACT LED on the active card is solid amber for the duration of TFTP transfer.
The ACT LED on the standby card is blinking green.
3. If updating a unit with redundant controller cards, the active controller begins uploading the new code
to the standby controller after the XModem transfer has completed; and the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its FLASH memory. If the unit does not have redundant
controller cards, go to Step 5.
4. While the standby card is having code uploaded, the ACT LED on the standby card will be solid
amber. After the code has finished uploading to the standby card, the card will reset itself and begin
running the new code.
CAUTION
The standby card must remain in place until the upload process is
complete, and the ACT LED is no longer solid amber. Removing the
standby card during the uploading process will corrupt the software.
5. The system must be manually reset after downloading new software for the active controller card to
begin running the new code. From the Utilities menu, select System Reset. Then select either
61200290L1-1G 3-41
Immediate Reset to immediately reset the system or Schedule Reset Time to set a time for the system
to reset. Once the system has been reset, the new software will be running.
NOTE
After new software has been downloaded to the MX2800 system, a
condition known as a “software version mismatch” exists on the active
card. The currently running software version is different from the version
of the new software that was just programmed into the card's nonvolatile
memory. This condition occurs because a manual card reset is necessary
for the card to begin running the new software. If the software version
being run by the system before the upgrade began was 2.00 or higher, this
mismatch will be indicated by a TL1 standing condition (condition code
PROGFLT) and a repeating message displayed at the bottom of all menu
screens. This is not a service-affecting condition; however, it is recom-
mended that the download process be completed by resetting the active
card as soon as it is practical. Doing so assures that all improvements in
the new software are fully available.
Configuration Transfer
Select Config Transfer from the Utilities menu to transfer files to and from a TFTP server. The Config
Transfer option is used to save the MX2800 configuration as a backup file, ensuring that the same configu-
ration can be used with multiple MX2800 units. Only one configuration transfer session (upload or
download) can be active at a time.
NOTE
Before using Config Transfer, the MX2800 should have a valid IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if required) and should be
connected to an Ethernet network.
Saving to a TFTP Server

To save current configuration information to a TFTP server, follow the steps listed below:
1. Set the Server IP Address field to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP server program.
If the ADTRAN TFTP server is being used, the IP address displays in the Server IP Address field. For
other TFTP servers, refer to the appropriate documentation.
2. Change the TFTP Server Filename to a unique filename. This will be the name of the configuration file
saved to the remote server.
3-42 61200290L1-1G
NOTE
Some TFTP servers constrain the format of the filename, depending on
the operating system of the server. For example, a TFTP server running
on a PC under Windows 3.1 may permit only 8.3 format filenames (8
characters, period, and three extension characters).
3. Select Save Config Remotely.
Retrieving from a TFTP Server

To retrieve current configuration information from a TFTP server, follow the steps listed below:
1. Set the Server IP Address field to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP server program.
If the ADTRAN TFTP server is being used, the IP address displays in the Server IP Address field. For
other TFTP servers, please refer to the appropriate documentation.
2. Change the TFTP Server File Name to a unique filename, including the complete path. This will be the
name of the configuration file retrieved from the remote server.
CAUTION
Configuration changes will not be implemented until all Telnet sessions
are closed. Loading a new configuration may disrupt data traffic.
3. Select Load and Use Config.
NOTE
IP address and management port settings remain unchanged when a
configurative is retrieved from a TFTP server.
Resetting the System

The system must be manually reset after downloading new software. When the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its FLASH memory, it will begin uploading the code to the
standby controller. This will be indicated on the menu and the ACT LED on the standby card will display
solid yellow.
CAUTION
The standby card must remain in place until the process is complete and
the ACT LED is no longer solid yellow. Removing the standby card
during the uploading process will corrupt the software.
61200290L1-1G 3-43
Once the upload is complete, the standby card will self-reset and begin running the new code. However,
the active card does not reset automatically. The unit must be reset through the Immediate Reset or Sched-
ule Reset Time functions.
6. SAVE CONFIGURATION AND ALARM LOG

LOF Number of times the unit has detected a loss of framing from the network.
AIS Number of times the unit has received an AIS (blue) alarm condition from the net-
work. AIS alarms occur when consecutive 1010s are received in the information
bits. This indicates that there is a transmission fault located either at or upstream
from the transmitting terminal.
RAI Number of times the unit has received an RAI (yellow) alarm from the network.
This alarm is a signal sent back toward the source of a failed transmit circuit. The
X-bits (X1 and X2) are set to zero.

Alarm Log
This menu provides a list of the last 200 alarms that have occurred on the MX2800. When the alarm log
becomes full, new alarms replace the oldest alarms in a first-in, first-out sequence.
The alarm log is periodically stored in nonvolatile memory. Once every minute, if an alarm has been
recorded or if the alarm log has been reset since the last time it was saved, then the alarm log and system
configuration are saved to nonvolatile memory. Both the alarm log and system configuration are saved
manually when the user executes the Save Configuration & Alarm Log menu function in the Configuration
menu. Each time the system powers up, the alarm log is retrieved from non-volatile memory.
A Reset Alarm Log function is accessible from the alarm log menu. This option clears the alarm log. See

Selecting the Data Mode from the Loopback Control menu ends any loopback test in progress.
Tributary
A Tributary loopback loops the selected T1/E1 back to the network (DS3). The T1/E1 is demultiplexed
through the M23 and M12/G.747 demultiplexers, looped back, and multiplexed back up through the M12/
G.747 and M23 multiplexers. During this loopback, all network receive data is passed to the DSX-1/E1
transmitters, but all data received by the DSX-1/E1 loop side is ignored and substituted with the network
data. See Figure 6-3 for an illustration of this test.

Remote Loopback
A Remote Loopback performs a loopback of the selected T1/E1 on the far-end M13 multiplexer. If an
MX2800 is located at the far end, an Analog Network Loopback is executed when a Remote Loopback is
engaged. This loopback is only available when the DS3 is configured for C-bit parity framing since it
requires the availability of the far-end alarm and control (FEAC) channel. See ANSI T1.107.
CSU Loopback
A CSU Loopback enables the MX2800 to generate a CSU loop up pattern (001001…) toward the T1 CSU
attached to the selected T1 line for six seconds. After six seconds have elapsed, the pattern ceases; and
incoming network traffic is passed through to the CSU device. If the CSU device responded to the CSU
loop up pattern, it returns all data back toward the network. A loop down pattern (0000100001….) is
generated toward the CSU for 6 seconds when Data Mode is selected.
NOTE
When in CSU Loopback, only the Data Mode for the T1 under test may be
selected. Selecting any other option will result in an error message.
CSU Loopback w/BERT

A CSU Loopback w/BERT enables the MX2800 to test the local T1 loop to the CSU using the QRSS
pseudorandom bit sequence. When CSU Loopback w/BERT is selected, the MX2800 initiates a CSU
loopback toward the CSU attached to the selected T1 line. Six seconds after starting the CSU loop up
pattern, the MX2800 ceases sending the CSU loop up pattern and begins sending an unframed QRSS
pattern toward the CSU. If the CSU device responded to the CSU loop up pattern, the MX2800 checks the
incoming pattern for errors. Additional menu items appear to show the state of pattern synchronization,
6-4 61200290L1-1G
error count, and a clear error count option. See Figure 6-7 on page 6-5. Selecting Data Mode will cease the
transmission of the QRSS pattern and start transmission of a loop down pattern as previously described.
NOTE
When in CSU Loopback w/BERT, only the Data Mode for the T1 under
test may be selected. Selecting any other option results in an error
message.
Figure 6-7. Loopback Menu with BERT Selected
Line BERT
A Line BERT enables the MX2800 to perform a “head-to-head” BERT test toward the CSU. Selecting Line
BERT replaces all incoming network traffic for the selected T1 with an unframed QRSS pattern toward the
CSU. When Line BERT is selected, additional menu items appear and show the state of pattern synchroni-
zation, cumulative error count, and a clear error count option. Selecting Data Mode ceases QRSS pattern
generation and substitution of the incoming data stream.
NOTE
When in Line BERT mode, only the Data Mode option for the T1 under
test may be selected. Selecting any other option will result in an error
message being displayed.
61200290L1-1G 6-5
NOTE
Only one T1 port may engage a CSU Loopback, CSU Loopback w/BERT,
or a Line BERT. If a CSU Loopback, CSU Loopback w/BERT, or a Line
BERT is already active at the time a new CSU Loopback, CSU Loopback
w/BERT, or Line BERT is selected, the former test is terminated, and the
latter test is engaged.
3. DS3 LOOPBACKS
After DS3 Loopback is selected, the menu in Figure 6-8 appears. The sections following the figure
provide descriptions and illustrations of the testing options. Select Data Mode to end a test in progress.
Figure 6-8. DS3 Loopback Menu
CAUTION
If IP forwarding is enabled, a user should not perform a DS3 Loopback
from the menus of the far-end (non-LAN end) MX2800. The communi-
cation link is over the DS3. If a loopback is performed, communication
will be lost with the far-end MX2800. If this happens and a loopback
timeout is not active, the user must cycle power to the far-end MX2800 to
cancel the loopback and regain access to the shelf.
6-6 61200290L1-1G
Line Loopback
Line Loopback performs a loop of the DS3 back to the network. This loopback occurs just prior to the DS3
framer and B3ZS decoder, but it makes full use of the DS3 LIU in both receive and transmit directions;
therefore, any coding violations received by the DS3 will be inserted back into the network without
modification. See Figure 6-9 on page 6-7 for an illustration of this test.
NOTE
If a Line loopback is active when the MX2800 is operating in the Local
timing mode, the timing source for the DS3 is effectively removed from
the circuit. Therefore, it is up to the test equipment or network to provide
DS3 timing into the circuit for the duration of the test.

Remote Loopback
A Remote Loopback performs a loopback on the far-end M13 multiplexer. This loopback is available only
when the DS3 is configured for C-bit parity framing since it requires the availability of the FEAC channel.
See ANSI T1.107.
NOTE
Local timing must be selected before initiating this loopback. If
necessary, it may be returned after loopback has been cancelled.
Remote All T1/E1

A Remote All T1/E1 loopback performs a loopback of all T1/E1 channels on the far-end M13 multiplexer.
If an MX2800 is located at the far end, an Analog Loopback is executed on all active channels simulta-
neously. The form of this loopback code sent to the far-end will depend on the framing mode being used.
When in C-Bit parity mode, the MX2800 will send loopback commands over the FEAC channel. When
operating in M13 framing mode, the MX2800 will send C-Bit loopbacks at the DS2 level.

SECTION 7, CIRCUIT AND NETWORK REDUNDANCY
Section 7
Circuit and Network Redundancy
1. INTRODUCTION
The MX2800 provides backup measures of protection for circuit failure. The following subsections
describe the possible modes of operation:
• Nonredundant Mode on page 7-1 offers no backup protection
• Circuit Failure Recovery Mode on page 7-2 furnishes backup protection in the event of controller card
failure
• Circuit and Network Failure Recovery Mode on page 7-3 provides the most complete mode of circuit
and network protection.
The descriptions given include illustrations and suggested configuration settings.
NOTE
The settings may need modification based on your network configuration.
2. NONREDUNDANT MODE
In Nonredundant Mode, the MX2800 houses only one controller card. There is no failure protection. In the
event of a failure, an alarm is initiated and the front panel LEDs reflect the condition. See Figure 7-1 on
page 7-1 for an illustration.
Figure 7-1. Nonredundant Mode
61200290L1-1G 7-1
Section 7, Circuit and Network Redundancy MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
NOTE
In this mode, the DS3 must be connected to the IN and OUT jacks for
DS3 A.
3. CIRCUIT FAILURE RECOVERY MODE

In Circuit Failure Recovery Mode, two controller cards are installed with an incoming single DS3 line. See
Figure 7-2 on page 7-2. In this mode, the MX2800 can continue operating in the event of a controller card
failure. When both cards are healthy, the primary card actively processes data while the secondary card
stands by and is ready to take over if the first fails. The secondary card continuously monitors the line and
remains framed to the incoming signal.
NOTE
During a card switch, service interruption occurs on both the DS3 and the
DSX1 connections. However, since the secondary controller card remains
framed to the incoming signal at all times, it is a minimal interruption.
Figure 7-2. Circuit Failure Recovery Mode
See Table 7-1 for a list of this mode’s configuration requirements.

*. This is a critical alarm only when Inactive Card is not installed or is not working.
4. CIRCUIT AND NETWORK FAILURE RECOVERY MODE

In this mode, two controller cards are installed and connected to two individual DS3 lines. This is the most
complete mode of redundancy. In this mode, the primary controller card is connected to the primary DS3
line and the secondary controller card is connected to the secondary DS3 line. The primary card and line
actively transmit data, while the other card and line stand by ready to take over if the first card and line fail.
A feature of the MX2800 is its ability to internally re-route the network connection if a controller card and
the opposite network connection fail. For example, in the illustration given in Figure 7-3 on page 7-3,
failed DS3 A is connected to healthy Card A and healthy DS3 B is connected to failed Card B. In a case
like this, the MX2800 is able to automatically re-route DS3 B to Card A.
The configuration requirements for this mode are the same as the ones given for Circuit Failure Recovery
Mode on page 7-2 except for the Network Protection setting, which must be set to Enable.

SECTION 8, POWER LOSS RECOVERY
Section 8
Power Loss Recovery
1. INTRODUCTION
The MX2800 provides backup measures of protection for both power supply and power source failure. The
following subsections describe the possible modes of operation:
• Nonredundant Power Mode on page 8-1 offers no backup protection
• Power Supply Recovery Mode on page 8-2 furnishes backup protection in the event of power supply
card failure
• Power Supply and Source Recovery Mode on page 8-2 provides a backup system for both card and
source failure
• Battery Backup Mode on page 8-3 offers battery backup in the event of a power outage
2. NONREDUNDANT POWER MODE

In Nonredundant Power Mode, the MX2800 houses only one power supply card; and only one power
source is available. There is no power failure protection. If a power supply card fails, the unit is down until
the card is repaired or replaced. See Figure 8-1 for an illustration.
MX2800
Figure 8-1. Nonredundant Power Mode
61200290L1-1G 8-1
Section 8, Power Loss Recovery MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
NOTE
Power supplies are hot-swappable.
3. POWER SUPPLY RECOVERY MODE

In Power Supply Recovery Mode, two power supply cards are installed and connected to a single power
source. See Figure 8-2. In this mode, the MX2800 continues operation in the event of a power supply
failure without interrupting service. The power supplies are load sharing, so either power supply can
provide power for the entire unit.
NOTE
When the unit is configured with dual internal AC power supplies, this is
the only power supply protection mode available.
MX2800
Figure 8-2. Power Supply Failure Recovery Mode
4. POWER SUPPLY AND SOURCE RECOVERY MODE

In this mode, two power supply cards are installed and are connected to two individual power sources. The
MX2800 handles any combination of power source or power supply failure.
Much like the backup design for the controller cards, the MX2800 is able to internally re-route the power
source if a power supply card and the opposite power source fail. For example, in Figure 8-3 on page 8-3,
failed Power Source A is connected to healthy Card A, and healthy Power Source B is connected to failed
Card B. In a case like this, the MX2800 automatically connects Power Source B to Card A.
NOTE
This configuration is available only with DC power supplies.

5. BATTERY BACKUP MODE

With the installation of the ADTRAN Power Supply/Battery Charger (PS/BC) and backup battery pack,
the MX2800 can continue operation without service interruption in the event of a power outage. This
PS/BC (P/N 4175043L2) provides –48 VDC to the MX2800. It receives 115 VAC through a standard plug
and wall socket.
The PS/BC maintains the battery at peak charge (–48 VDC) at all times. If AC power is lost, the unit
automatically supplies power from the battery without interrupting service. When AC power returns, the
unit switches back to AC power and recharges the battery. For installation instructions, refer to the guide
provided with the PS/BC. See Figure 8-4 on page 8-4 for an illustration of this setup.
NOTE
The MX2800 can operate on a fully charged battery for 4 hours without
recharging.

SECTION 9, TRANSACTION LANGUAGE 1 (TL1)
Section 9
Transaction Language 1 (TL1)
1. INTRODUCTION
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is a Bellcore standard used in the input and output messages that pass
between Operations Systems (OS) and Network Elements (NE) in telecommunication networks. It was
developed to standardize equipment surveillance and memory administration and to test with a common
format.
This release of TL1 primarily supports the interactive and autonomous retrieval of system events as part of
a valid TL1 session.
2. OVERVIEW
TL1 is an ASCII-based language that supports both command-response and autonomous (NE) message
generation. Commonly, TL1 is used over an X.25 packet network but is completely independent of any
physical layer protocols. For the MX2800, TL1 is implemented as a Telnet session or “RAW TCP” session
running over either Ethernet or PPP.
To successfully initiate a TL1 session, the unit must be properly configured for an Ethernet (LAN) or PPP
connection. A valid IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask are required. Refer to System Manage-
ment on page 3-16. User authentication is also required. An account must be set up before initiating a TL1
session.
An account may be set up via the VT100 menus (Configuration/System Management/System Security/
User Account Management.) An account includes a username, password, and privileges. The privileges are
as follows:
• Admin privileges allow the user to use all supported commands.
• Guest privileges allow the user only to activate the TL1 session, cancel a TL1 session, and retrieve
specific system information.
• Interface privileges allow the user to use all supported commands except modifying the user account
information, setting the MX2800 date and time, configuring alarm relays, and operating loopbacks.
• Test privileges allow the user to use all supported commands except modifying the user account
information, configuring alarm relays, and setting the MX2800 date and time.
The TL1 account privileges are detailed in Table 9-1 on page 9-2.

To bring up a TL1 Telnet connection (up to eight may be active), a Telnet client requests a connection on
TCP port 3116 (port 2024 is used for “RAW TCP” socket access). Once the Telnet connection is estab-
lished, it is necessary to initiate a TL1 session. Establishing a TL1 session involves successful user authen-
tication. Until a TL1 session is established, all commands other than those used to initiate or terminate a
session are denied. Autonomous messaging is also disabled. For information on using the Act-User
command to initiate a TL1 session, refer to TL1 Commands on page 9-5.
NOTE
If RADIUS authentication is enabled, refer to RADIUS Authentication on
page 3-27, the MX2800 attempts to use RADIUS to authenticate TL1
9-2 61200290L1-1G
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Transaction Language 1 (TL1), Section 9
users. If the RADIUS server presents a login challenge which requires a

response, then the TL1 user re-enters the ACT-USER command,
supplying the appropriate response as the password. Challenges and other
reply messages returned from the RADIUS server are displayed as
comments in the response message from the MX2800.
3. TL1 MESSAGES
As stated earlier, TL1 messages are either part of a command-response exchange or are generated autono-
mously. A TL1 command has the general format as follows:
<verb>[-<mod1>[-<mod2>]]:<tid>:<aid>:<ctag>:<general block>:<keyword
block>: <state block>;
Refer to TL1 Commands on page 9-5 for a list of TL1 commands supported by the MX2800.
TL1 Responses
There are three types of TL1 responses:
• Acknowledgment messages
• Output Response messages
• Autonomous messages
Acknowledgment Messages
Acknowledgment messages are brief output messages generated in response to received TL1 commands.
The MX2800 currently supports two types of acknowledgment messages:
• In Progress (IP)
• All Right (OK)
In Progress
The IP acknowledgment message is usually generated as an interim response message to indicate that a
message has been received and the command is being executed. IP messages have the following general
format:
IP <ctag><cr><lf>
<
All Right
The OK acknowledgment message indicates that a command has been received, and the required action
was initiated and completed. This message has the following general format:
OK <ctag><cr><lf>
<
61200290L1-1G 9-3
Output Response Messages

Output Response messages are generated in response to received commands. Output Response Messages
have the following general format:
<cr><lf><lf>
^^^<tid>^<yr>-<mo>-<day>^<hr>:<min>:<sec><cr><lf>
M^^<ctag>^<completion code><cr><lf>
^^^<errcode><cr><lf>;
For the MX2800, the Completion Code field contains one of the following values:
• Comply indicates a successful execution of the received command.
• Deny indicates denial of the received command.
When the received command is denied, the line in the message following the Completion Code line
contains a four letter error code. Refer to TL1 Error Codes on page 9-17 for an indication of the possible
MX2800 error codes.
The MX2800 specifically uses quoted line(s) in the response message of successfully executed RTRV-
ALM commands. The quoted line format is as follows:
<aid>:<ntfcncde>,<condtype>,<srveff>,<ocrdat>,<ocrtm>,<locn>…
The NTFCNCDE field contains one of the following values:
• MN - Minor
• MJ - Major
• CR - Critical
See the condition types listed in Table 9-3 on page 9-12 for possible MX2800 CONDTYPE codes.
Autonomous Messages
The Autonomous message is sent from the NE to the OS and is not associated with any explicit input
message. The MX2800 uses this message to exclusively report alarmed and non-alarmed events. An auton-
omous message has the following general format:
<cr><lf><lf>
^^^<tid>^<yr>-<mo>-<day>^<hr>:<min>:<sec><cr><lf>
<alarm code>^<atag>^<verb>[^<mod1>[^mod2>]]<cr><lf>
^^^"<aid>:<message parameters>"<cr><lf>;
Possible values for the Alarm Code field include the following:
• *C - Critical Alarm
• ** - Major Alarm
• * - Minor Alarm
• A - Non-alarm
• Null - (blank)
9-4 61200290L1-1G
The MX2800 specifically uses quoted line(s) in REPT-ALM and REPT-EVT Autonomous messages. The
REPT-ALM message has the following quoted line format:
<aid>:<ntfcncde>,<condtype>,<srveff>,<ocrdat>,<ocrtm>,<locn>…
The NTFCNCDE field contains one of the following values:
• CL indicates alarm cleared.
• TC indicates transient condition.
• MN indicates minor.
• MJ indicates major.
• CR indicates critical.
The REPT-EVT message has the following quoted line format:
<aid>:<ntfcncde>,<condeff>,<srveff>,<ocrdat>,<ocrtm>,<locn>…
The CONDEFF field will contain one of the following values:
• CL indicates standing condition cleared.
• SC indicates standing condition raised.
• TC indicates transient condition.
For possible CONDTYPE codes for both REPT-ALM and REPT-EVT quoted lines, see the condition types
listed in Table 9-3 on page 9-12 and Table 9-4 on page 9-16, respectively.
Refer to the section TL1 Autonomous Messages on page 9-11 for a list of Autonomous messages currently
supported by the MX2800.
4. TL1 COMMANDS
As stated in TL1 Messages on page 9-3, the general format for a TL1 command is as follows:
<verb>[-<mod1>[-<mod2>]]:<tid>:<aid>:<ctag>:<general block>:<keyword
block>: <state block>;
Areas of concentration for TL1 support in the MX2800 include session initiation, session termination, and
system event reporting. Table 9-2 lists the commands currently supported by the MX2800.

TL1 Autonomous Messages

Autonomous messages provide a mechanism for real time reporting of system events. Although most
events reported are alarms, some events are only informational. The Verb, Mod1, and Mod2 parameters of
the message indicate what type of event has occurred.
NOTE
The default setting for Autonomous message reporting is OFF.
Follow these steps to enable Autonomous message reporting:

• If it has not already been done, initiate a TL1 session by following the setup procedures and using the
ACT-USER command.
• Use the ALW-MSG command to enable autonomous messaging. This command is described in
Table 9-2 on page 9-6.
REPT-ALM indicates an alarm event. Table 9-3 on page 9-12 lists possible autonomous messages for
alarm events and includes recommended actions to take. REPT-EVT indicates an informational event.

TL1 Editing
TL1 editing commands allow the MX2800 to be provisioned through a TL1 session rather than through the
menu system that is accessed using a VT100 terminal emulator. User account information must be provi-
sioned through a console menu session or TL1 session prior to initiating a TL1 session. Once a TL1
session has been initiated using the ACT-USER command, see Table 9-2 on page 9-6, the TL1 editing
commands may be used. The standard format for an edit command is as follows:
ED-rr:<tid>:<aid>:<ctag>:::<keyword>=<value>;
The parameter descriptions are as follows:
• rr is T1, T2, T3, or EQPT
• <tid> is the Target Identifier
• <aid> is the Access Identifier
• <ctag> is a 1-to-6 character correlation tag (echoed in response)
• <keyword> is one of the entries from the data dictionaries in Table 9-6 on page 9-20, Table 9-7 on
page 9-23, Table 9-8 on page 9-24, or Table 9-9 on page 9-27.
• <value> is one of the enumerated types in the data dictionaries, an integer, or Y/N, depending on the
TYPE.
61200290L1-1G 9-17
NOTE
<aid> and <ctag> are optional parameter. The placemarker : must remain
in place. The default <aid> is All and the default <ctag> is 1.
TL1 Editing Examples:

ED-T1:UNIT-1:106:1:::LBO=133TO266; (This would edit line build out for T1 #6 to be 133 to 266.)
ED-T2:UNIT-1:205:2:::DS2CFGMODE=T1; (This would configure T2 #5 for T1 mode versus E1.)
ED-T3:UNIT-1:300:3:::DS3MAXNUMSW=3; (This would set maximum number of switches for
controller cards to 3.)
ED-EQPT:UNIT-1:400:4:::PSTEMPCRITRLY=Y; (This would enable the alarm relay for power supply
temperature critical.)
To view the value of a parameter, a retrieve (RTRV) command is used. The standard format for the RTRV
command is as follows:
RTRV-rr:<tid>:<aid>:<ctag>:::<keyword>;
The parameter descriptions are as follows:
• rr is T1, T2, T3, or EQPT
• <tid> is the Target Identifier
• <aid> is the Access Identifier

APPENDIX A, ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURE
Appendix A
Acceptance Test Procedure
1. INTRODUCTION
This appendix describes the procedures to be used in performing acceptance testing of ADTRAN’s Total
Access MX2800 M13 Multiplexer. It is assumed that the MX2800 has already been installed, powered-up,
equipped and cabled to the DSX-1 and DSX-3 or connecting equipment according to the specifications
described in Section 2, Installation and Operation and local operating company procedures.
The MX2800 is an M13 multiplexer used to consolidate 28 DS1 circuits on to a DS3. The unit can be
equipped in various ways. In general, this section addresses the following areas:
• Verifying the options installed on the unit
• Configuring the unit for test
• Testing all DS1 and DS3 circuits to make sure that each circuit passes error free data
• Verifying that alarms are generated and passed to external alarm systems
• Testing the system power supply and controller card redundancy
• Restoring the unit to the desired configuration
• Configuring the unit for customer traffic
• Completing the Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) Checklist
2. VERIFYING THE INSTALLED OPTIONS

The installed configuration determines the level of redundancy the unit supports. There may be one or two
Power Supply Units (PSUs) and Controller Card Units (CCUs) present. A single PSU and CCU are
required for operation without redundancy. Equipping the shelf with two of each provides full redundancy.
The PSUs are the smaller modules on the left side. The CCUs are the larger modules toward the center and
right of the shelf. Visually note which cards are installed in the chassis under test.

If this card is installed... Check
Power Supply A (far left slot) installed?
Power Supply B (next slot to right) installed
Controller A (lower controller card) installed
Controller A (upper controller card) installed
3. CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM

Before the required tests can be performed, a minimal amount of configuration must be performed on the
MX2800. It is necessary to gain access to the Provisioning menus through the Craft Port, then set the
desired parameters for the DS1 ports, the DS3 port, and the alarm attributes. The following paragraphs step
through the process.
Accessing the Craft Port

The MX2800 is shipped with a flat silver-satin cable that plugs into the Craft jack on the front panel and a
DB-9 adapter that allows the cable to plug into the COM port on a computer or dumb terminal. Make these
connections, then start up a terminal emulation program on a computer (e.g., HyperTerminal, Procomm,
Crosstalk, etc.), using VT100 emulation with a character format of 9600 baud, no parity, eight bits, and one
stop bit. Press the ENTER key several times. A username prompt should appear. The default username is
“username”. The default password is “password”. The input characters for username and password are not
case sensitive. After the logon and password are accepted, the MX2800 Main Menu should appear. This is
the screen from which all other management and control functions are accessible.
Provisioning the DS3 Port

In order for the MX2800 to correctly pass traffic through the system, the DS3 and DS1 ports need to be
properly configured. The provisioning of the DS3 port is covered in this subsection, and the provisioning
of the DS1 ports is covered in the next.
NOTE
The ENTER key is used to select a function, and the ESC key is used to
back up a level in the menu system.
Follow these procedures to configure DS3 ports.

1. From the Main Menu, select Configuration, and then select Network Interface. The Network
Configuration screen should appear. Set each of the options on this screen as referenced below.
A-2 61200290L1-1G
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Acceptance Test Procedure, Appendix A
NOTE
To change an option, simply enter the corresponding number, press
ENTER, and follow the prompts.
DS3 Configuration
• Framing = C-Bit (default = M13)
• Line Length = Use 0-225 ft. (default) or 225-450 ft., depending on the distance to the DS3 Cross
connect panel or connecting equipment.
• Timing = Local (default = Loop)
NOTE
When performing tests to a DS3 loopback, the timing must be set to Local
to guarantee DS3 frame synchronization and error-free testing during bit
error tests. Normal operation generally requires that this attribute be set
back to Loop (system default) after all acceptance tests are completed.
One exception to the rule is when connecting two MX2800s together on a
back-to-back basis (DS3s facing one another). In that case, one MX2800
must be set to Local and the other to Loop.
• Remote Loopbacks = FEAC/C-Bit (default)

• XCV Threshold = Disabled (default)
• Active Controller = A (default)
• Network Protection = Disabled (default)
• Max Switch Threshold = 3 (default)
• Min. Switching Period (sec.) = 10 (default)
Miscellaneous
• Loopback Time Out = 5 min. (default)
DS2 Configuration
• DS2 #1 = M12(4xT1)
• DS2 #2 = M12(4xT1)
• DS2 #3 = M12(4xT1)
• DS2 #4 = M12(4xT1)
• DS2 #5 = M12(4xT1)
61200290L1-1G A-3
• DS2 #6 = M12(4xT1)
• DS2 #7 = M12(4xT1)
NOTE
For additional information about the previous configuration, refer to
Network Interface on page 3-4.
2. Press the ESC key to get back to the main Configuration menu.
Provisioning the DS1 Ports

1. From the main Configuration menu, select T1/E1 Interface. The Configure T1/E1 Interface menu
should appear. Since there are 28 DS1 ports to configure and all of them need to be set identically dur-
ing acceptance testing, the Set Multiple provisioning feature of the MX2800 is used during this step.
To use the Set Multiple feature, select the attribute from the Configure T1/E1 Interface screen. From the
Set Multiple screen, confirm that First = 1 and Last = 28. If not, make the necessary corrections. Select
State to toggle the State as necessary until the correct setting is displayed, and select Apply settings to
set all 28 DS1s to that mode. Press ESC twice to return to the Configure T1/E1 Interface menu.
2. Select T1/E1 State. If all channels are set to Auto Enable (default), press ESC to get back to the
Configure T1/E1 Interface menu and proceed to the next step. If not, perform the Set Multiple routine
referenced above.
3. Select T1/E1 Line Coding. If all channels are set to B8ZS (default), press ESC to get back to the
Configure T1/E1 Interface menu and proceed to the next step. If not, perform the Set Multiple routine
accordingly.
4. Select T1/E1 Line length. If all channels are set correctly (0-133, 133-266, 266-399, 399-533 or 533-
655 feet) as appropriate for the installation, proceed to the next step. If not, perform the Set Multiple
routine accordingly.
5. Select T1/E1Loopback Detection.
6. Select Set Multiple. Set First to 1, Last to 28, Loopback Detection to Disabled. Select Apply Settings.
7. Press ESC twice to return to the Configure T1/E1 Interface menu.
8. Select T1/Circuit Protection.
9. Select Set Multiple. Set First to 1 and Last to 28. Set Circuit Protection to Enabled. Select Apply
Settings.
10. Press ESC once and select Protection Threshold. Enter a value of 1 and press ESC once to return to the
Configure T1/E1 Interface menu.
11. Select XCV Threshold. Select Disabled.
12. Press the Esc key to get back to the main Configuration menu.
A-4 61200290L1-1G

Although there are numerous alarm configuration options available on the MX2800, the ability to generate
only one Critical and one Noncritical alarm are the only requirements for this part of the acceptance test
process. These requirements confirms that the alarm contacts are wired and operating correctly and trans-
mitting the appropriate alarm conditions back to the central office alarm panel.
1. From the main Configuration menu, select System Management.
2. Select Alarm Relay Configuration to get to the Alarm Relay Configuration screen.
3. As necessary, toggle the DS3 LOS state to Enabled, thus forcing generation of a Critical alarm when
the DS3 port sees a Loss of Signal condition.
4. As necessary, toggle the LOS state to Enabled, thus forcing generation of a Noncritical alarm when a
DS1 port sees a Loss of Signal condition.
5. Toggle the SAVE CONFIG state.
4. VERIFYING THE DATA INTEGRITY

Now that the system has been properly provisioned for acceptance testing, proceed with the testing of the
system. The first key test is to verify that the MX2800 can pass traffic between the DS1 and DS3 ports.
Three different methods of testing are presented. One of the three should be selected based on test equip-
ment availability and network configuration. All of the tests are performed at the DSX-1 and DSX-3 cross-
connect bays or connecting equipment so that both the MX2800 circuitry and the office cabling are tested.
If problems are encountered during testing, refer to Section 4, Status and Section 5, Statistics for assistance
with problem determination.
DS1 Daisy-Chain to DS3 (Hard) Loopback

This test can be performed single-handedly, and it can be used only if DS1s are terminated at the DSX1. It
loads all 28 ports of the MX2800 with traffic at the same time, but it does not confirm DS3 cabling integ-
rity (transmit Vs. receive).
Equipment Required:
• 1 DS1 test set for running a BERT
• 28 DS1 bantam test cords
• 1 DS3 test cord
Follow these procedures to test the daisy-chain.
1. At the DSX-3 cross-connect panel or connecting equipment, loop the DS3 from the MX2800 back on
itself. Confirm that the MX2800 sees a good DS3 signal. The DS3 STATUS LED should be solid
green on the Active Controller, and the DS3 test set should be in frame synchronization with the
MX2800.
2. At the DSX-1 cross-connect panel, insert the Transmit output of the DS1 test set into the Input of the
first DS1 channel of the MX2800.

3. At the DSX-1, install a bantam test cord from the Output of the first DS1 channel to the Input of the
second; then connect a second bantam test cord from the Output of the second DS1 channel to the
Input of the third DS1 channel. Repeat this procedure for all 28 DS1 channels.
4. Connect the Output of the 28th DS1 channel to the Receive input of the DS1 test set.
5. Set the test set options for ESF/B8ZS, and run a standard BERT using QRSS or other preferred test
pattern(s).
6. All alarms should clear on the MX2800, and the BERT should run error free. Troubleshoot as
necessary.
7. Leave this test setup in place, as it will be used during the redundancy testing portion of this document.
Proceed to Verifying Alarm Notification on page A-7.
DS1 to DS3 Head-to-Head Test

This test is ordinarily a two-person operation, and it is the preferred means of testing system and cabling
integrity. It tests one DS1 channel at a time, using a DS1 test set at the DSX-1 cross-connect panel or
connecting equipment and a DS3 test set at the DSX-3 or connecting equipment location.
Equipment Required:
• 1 DS1 test set capable of running a BERT
• 1 DS3 test set capable of accessing and running a BERT on a single DS1
Follow these procedures to execute the head-to-head test.
1. At the DSX-3 cross-connect panel or connecting equipment, properly connect the DS3 test set to the
DS3 coming from the MX2800. Confirm transmit and receive integrity, an integral step in the process.
2. Configure the DS3 test set for C-Bit Framing, the appropriate LBO, and set to drop out DS1 #1.
Configure the DS1 BERT to run in ESF/B8ZS mode using QRSS or other preferred test pattern.
Confirm that the MX2800 sees a good DS3 signal. The DS3 STATUS LED should be solid green on
the Active Controller, and the DS3 test set should be in frame synchronization with the MX2800.
3. At the DSX-1 cross-connect bay or connecting equipment, connect the DS1 test set to the first DS1
channel of the MX2800. Configure the test set for the same framing, line code, and BERT pattern as
the DS3 test set. Confirm a good, error-free BERT for a minimal period, such as 15 seconds.
4. Repeat for DS1 channels 2-28 by moving the DS1 test cables and reconfiguring the DS3 test set to
drop out the appropriate DS1 channel under test.
5. The MX2800 condition is in an alarm because of the previously tested and now unterminated DS1
ports, but this should not prohibit a successful BERT between the DS1 and DS3 test sets on the channel
under test.
Proceed to Verifying Alarm Notification on page A-7.
A-6 61200290L1-1G
DS1 to DS3 (Hard) Loopback

This test requires minimal test equipment, tests one DS1 at a time, and can be performed single-handedly.
It does not verify DS3 cabling integrity (transmit Vs. receive) to the DSX3 or connecting equipment.
Equipment Required:
• 1 DS1 test set capable of running a BERT test
• 1 DS3 DSX test cord
Follow these procedures to test one DS1 at a time:
1. At the DSX-3 cross-connect panel or connecting equipment, loop the DS3 from the MX2800 back on
itself. Confirm that the MX2800 sees a good DS3 signal. The DS3 STATUS LED should be solid green
on the Active Controller, and the DS3 test set should be in frame synchronization with the MX2800.
2. At the DSX-1 cross-connect bay or connecting equipment, insert the Transmit output of the DS1 test
set to the DS1 Input of the first channel of the MX2800. Connect the Receive input of the test set to
the Output of the first DS1 channel of the MX2800.
3. Configure the DS1 test set for ESF/B8ZS and the desired BERT pattern, such as QRSS.
4. All alarms should clear on the MX2800, and the BERT should run error free. Troubleshoot as
necessary.
5. Repeat the above procedure for DS1 channels 2-28. The MX2800 will be in an alarm condition
because of the unterminated DS1 ports, but this condition should not prohibit a successful BERT.
Proceed to Verifying Alarm Notification.
5. VERIFYING ALARM NOTIFICATION

The MX2800 has two sets of alarm relay contacts available for connection to external alarm systems. They
are located on the back panel and are designated as Critical, and Noncritical. Normally Open and
normally Closed contacts are available for each of the relay outputs. The Critical alarm is activated when
the DS3 port experiences a Loss of Signal (LOS) event. The Noncritical alarm is activated when one of the
28 DS1 ports experiences a Loss of Signal event. Detailed alarm testing procedures are described below.
Critical Alarm Relay Test

This test actuates the Critical alarm relay contacts.
Equipment Required:
Follow these procedures to test one the critical alarm relay.
1. Ensure that the DS3 is not in alarm. To do this, place a hard loopback of the DS3 toward the MX2800
using a test cord at the DSX-3 cross-connect panel or connecting equipment.
2. With the loopback in place, all alarms should clear on the Controller Module DS3 port. The DS3
STATUS LED should be solid green on the Active Controller).
61200290L1-1G A-7
3. Remove the loopback from the DS3 and ensure that no other DS3 signal is entering the MX2800
through the DSX-3 cross-connect bay or connecting equipment, such as DCS.
4. The MX2800 should go into Critical alarm, thus closing the relay contacts and sending the alarm to the
alarm monitoring equipment.
5. Verify that the alarm is being properly reported as a Critical alarm.
Noncritical Alarm Relay Test

This test actuates the Noncritical alarm relay contacts.
Equipment Required:
Follow these procedures to test one the noncritical alarm relay.
1. Ensure that the DS3 is not in alarm. The DS3 STATUS LED should be solid green on the Active Con-
troller. To do this, re-install a hard loopback of the DS3 toward the MX2800.
2. Ensure that the 28 DS1s are out of alarm. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
a. At the DSX-1 cross-connect, insert the Transmit of the DS1 test set into the Input of the first DS1
channel of the MX2800. Install a bantam test cord from the Output of the first DS1 channel to the
Input of the second DS1 channel. Then connect a second bantam test cord from the Output of the
second DS1 channel to the Input of the third DS1.
b. Repeat this procedure for all 28 DS1 channels. Connect the Output of the 28th DS1 channel to the
Receive of the DS1 test set. Configure the test set for ESF/B8ZS and run a standard BERT test
using QRSS or other preferred test pattern(s).
3. Nothing should be in alarm. The DS1 STATUS LEDs should all be solid green on the Active
Controller. Remove any one of the bantam cords from the DSX bay. Removing this cord causes a DS1
LOS alarm, which results in the actuation of the Noncritical alarm relay.
4. Verify that the Noncritical alarms are being properly reported to the office alarm monitoring
equipment.
6. VERIFYING SYSTEM REDUNDANCY

This section addresses the redundancy features of the MX2800. The MX2800 supports redundancy of both
the Power Supply and Controller Modules. The equipment configuration (nonredundant vs. redundant and
type of power redundancy) are useful in determining what can and cannot be tested. The following sections
describe the tests for various configurations.
Power Supply Redundancy

When installed, the MX2800 can be wired to have either one or two –48 VDC power feeds A and B. In
addition, the MX2800 chassis can be equipped with either one or two Power Supply modules. Test scenar-
ios for the two most common configurations follow. Testing of the other configurations is a subset of the
following.
A-8 61200290L1-1G
Single Power Supply Module / Dual Power Feeds

When the MX2800 is equipped with only a single Power Supply module, there is no protection against a
failure of the module itself. However, the single Power Supply is capable of utilizing the A and B power
feeds to protect against a failure in one of the power sources feeding the shelf. To verify that the MX2800
is properly utilizing the A and B power feeds, the following procedure is recommended:
1. With the MX2800 installed and operating normally, go to the fuse panel at the top of the bay and
remove the fuse corresponding to the A power feed for the MX2800 shelf. Removing this fuse should
have no effect on the operation of the shelf because the MX2800 is operating on the B power feed.
2. Reinsert the fuse for the A power feed.
3. Now, remove the B power feed fuse for the MX2800 shelf. Once again, there should be no effect on
the operation of the shelf because the MX2800 is operating on the A power feed.
4. Reinsert the fuse for the B power feed.
Dual Power Supply Modules / Dual Power Feeds

When the MX2800 is equipped with two Power Supply modules and also wired to support dual power
feeds, the shelf is protected against a failure of either of the Power Supply cards or a failure of one of the
power sources feeding the shelf. Use the following procedure to confirm the operation of this fully redun-
dant configuration:
1. With the MX2800 installed and operating normally, remove the A Power Supply card (the one on the
left). Removing this card should have no effect on the operation of the shelf because the MX2800 is
operating on the B Power Supply.
2. Go to the fuse panel at the top of the bay and remove the fuse corresponding to the A power feed.
Removing this fuse should have no effect on the operation of the shelf because the B Power Supply is
running on the B power feed.
4. Remove the fuse corresponding to the B power feed to the shelf. Doing so should have no effect on the
operation of the shelf as the B Power Supply is operating on the A power feed.
6. Reinsert the A Power Supply into the MX2800 chassis.
7. Remove the B Power Supply card (the one on the right). Doing so should have no effect on the
operation of the shelf because the MX2800 is operating on the A Power Supply.
8. Go to the fuse panel at the top of the bay and remove the fuse corresponding to the A power feed.
Removing this fuse should have no effect on the operation of the shelf because the A Power Supply is
now running on the B power feed.
10. Remove the fuse corresponding to the B power feed to the shelf. Removing this fuse should have no
effect on the operation of the shelf as the A Power Supply is operating on the A power feed.
12. Reinsert the B Power Supply into the MX2800 chassis.
61200290L1-1G A-9
13. Confirm that both power supplies and power feeds are functioning as normal. Front panel LEDs
identify problems with the power supplies, but the inputs can be tested only via VOM.
Controller Card Redundancy

The MX2800 can be equipped with either one or two Controller cards. The Controller contains all of the
MX2800's critical circuitry, including the DS3 interface, DS1 interfaces, management and communica-
tions hardware/firmware, etc. If the MX2800 is equipped with only one Controller, there is no protection
against failure. If a failure does occur to the Controller, an alarm is initiated; and the front panel LEDs
reflect the condition. The ACT LED is either solid or flashing red.
If the MX2800 is equipped with two Controller modules, all traffic is protected and can be switched over
to the Standby Controller in the event of a card failure. The following procedures demonstrate the
functionality of a Controller switchover:
1. Using the BERT setup that should still be in place from previous testing, ensure that the system is still
passing traffic error free.
2. Log into the MX2800 (if necessary) via the craft port to get to the Main Menu screen. From there,
select Configuration, followed by Network Interface and Active Controller.
3. This procedure shows which Controller (A or B) is currently Active. If the A Controller is Active,
select Controller B as the Active Controller. Doing so forces a switch to the B Controller, which is
acting as a hot standby. If the B Controller is the Active Controller, force a switch to the A Controller.
4. Traffic is interrupted momentarily during the switch but quickly returns to error-free performance
again on the new Controller.
5. Although either Controller can be the Active Controller, for consistency, the A Controller should be
left as the Active one.
NOTE
Repeat the log-in sequence in Step 2 after each protection switch.
7. RESTORING DEFAULT SETTINGS

After all Acceptance Tests have been successfully completed, the MX2800 can be restored to its default
settings by following the procedures below:
1. Log into the MX2800, if necessary, via the craft port. From the Main Menu, select Configuration,
followed by Utilities and Load Default Settings.
2. Once the settings have been retrieved and loaded into the system, Command Accepted appears at
the bottom of the screen. The Standby Controller always maintains an exact copy of the Active
Controller’s attributes. Confirm that all settings are as expected via the craft port.
3. Normalize all loopbacks as appropriate, and restore all cabling and DSX panels to normal.
Office and Autonomous alarms may be generated as a result of performing Step 3, above. DS3 alarms can
be cleared by looping the DS3 back toward the MX2800 and setting the MX2800 Timing to Local via the
A-10 61200290L1-1G
craft port by selecting Configuration, Network Interface and Timing from the Main Menu, or by ensuring
continuity to and proper provisioning of the MX2800 and connecting equipment.
At the DS1 level, the MX2800 has three Service States. They operate as follows:
• Disabled – No signal continuity exists through the MX2800, and no alarms are detected or transmitted.
• Enabled – Signal continuity and alarming are always enabled.
• Auto Enable (default) – Signal continuity and alarming exist only after a DS1 signal is detected at the
DS1 input to the MX2800. Once a signal is detected, the only way to disable alarming is to momentarily
toggle the DS1 channel to the Disable state as follows:
From the Main Menu, select Configuration, T1/E1 Interface and T1 State. From the T1/E1 State screen,
enter the DS1# in question; then disable signal continuity and alarm transmission. Repeat the process of
selecting the DS1 from the T1/E1 State screen, but this time select Auto Enable to once again provision the
slot/channel for service. No alarms are transmitted until a DS1 signal has been detected and removed, or an
unframed signal is detected.
8. CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC READINESS

After the previous tests are successfully completed and the default settings are restored, the MX2800 can
be considered ready for customer traffic. Specific provisioning of the DS3, DS1, and other options is deter-
mined by circuit orders and local practices.
