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

Section 1, Product Overview MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
NOTE
Information regarding the built-in modem applies to the part numbers
4202290L1, 4202290L2, 4202290L3, and 4202290L4.
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.

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.

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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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
Section 3, Configuration MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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.
1E-3 More than one out of every 1,000 bits received on the DS3 contains a code violation
1E-4 More than one out of every 10,000 bits received on the DS3 contains a code violation
1E-5 More than one out of every 100,000 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
Protection Configuration
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

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.

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).

MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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
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

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.
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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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.
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.
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
Section 3, Configuration MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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.
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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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).
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
Section 3, Configuration MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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.
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.

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.
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
• 5 minutes interval
• 10 minutes interval
• 15 minutes interval (default)
• 20 minutes interval
• 25 minutes interval
• 30 minutes interval
• 35 minutes interval

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
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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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
Section 3, Configuration MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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.

MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Configuration, Section 3
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
request.
Maximum Retries
This option sets the maximum number of retransmissions of an authentication request that the MX2800
will attempt in the absence of a response from the server.

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.
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
Section 3, Configuration MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Loopbacks, Section 6
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.

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.

NOTE
In this mode, the DS3 must be connected to the IN and OUT jacks for
DS3 A.
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.

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

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
Section 9, Transaction Language 1 (TL1) MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual
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
MX2800 M13 Multiplexer User Manual Transaction Language 1 (TL1), Section 9
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.
NOTE
The Target ID (tid) is the same as the Unit ID. Refer to the Unit ID on
page 3-36.

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.

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

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.
Protection Configuration
• 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

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.

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.

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.

10Base-T Ethernet connector which implements the IEEE standard on 24-gauge, unshielded
twisted-pair wiring.
A
AMI Alternate Mark Inversion. A bipolar line-coding format in T1 transmission
systems whereby successive ones are alternately inverted.
B
bandwidth The bandwidth determines the rate at which information can be sent through a
channel (the greater the bandwidth, the more information that can be sent in a
given amount of time).
baud rate A measure of transmission speed over an analog phone line. Baud rate measures
the shortest signaling elements per second in the analog signal that a modem sends
over an analog phone line. Does not necessarily equal the bit rate.
BERT Bit error rate test. A test that uses any of a number of stress patterns to test T3, T1,
FT1, and DDS circuits.
bit A binary digit representing a signal, wave, or state as either a one or a zero. A bit
is the smallest unit of information a computer can process.
bit error The receipt of an encoded bit that differs from what was sent by the transmitter.
bit rate The speed at which bits are transmitted, usually expressed in bits per second (bps).
bps Bits per second. The number of bits passing a specific point per second. Examples
of common rates are kbps (one thousand bits per second) and Mbps (one million
bits per second). T3 operates at 44.736 Mbps.

BPV Bipolar violation. A violation in the alternate mark inversion (AMI) line code in
which consecutive 1s are represented by pulses of opposite polarity. BPVs that are
not intentional (B8ZS) are counted as errors. Could also be the presence of two
consecutive 1 bits of the same polarity on the T-carrier line.

The systems can use central hub offices for obtaining test access, bridging legs of
multi-point circuits, and cross connecting equipment. DDS is offered on an inter-
LATA (local access and transport area) basis by AT&T and on an intra-LATA
basis by the Bell operating companies.
delay The amount of time by which a signal is delayed. A round-trip transmission delay
measurement helps detect possible causes of protocol timeouts.

L
LAN Local area network. A privately owned network that offers high-speed communi-
cations channels to connect information processing equipment in a limited
geographic area.
local loopback
(LL) A type of test used to verify the operation of the local terminal equipment, the
CSU, and the connection between the two. The signal from the DTE is looped
back by the CSU and is sent back to the DTE.
loopback The technique for testing the processing circuitry of a communications device.
May be initiated locally or remotely via a telecommunications circuit. Device
being tested will echo back received test data. The results are compared with the
original data.
