The ATLAS 550 is an Integrated Access Device designed to
improve and lower the costs of voice/data, video, and Internet
communications for enterprise businesses and network service
providers.
With the ATLAS 550, many WAN functions have now been merged
and combined into a small, economical, modular platform that
will replace a rack of traditional single function access
devices. With the ATLAS 550, traditional multiplexed and
packet networks are easier to deploy and manage while
providing more bandwidth efficiency out of existing or new
communications links. The ATLAS 550 provides a new level of
communications flexibility by offering many of the features
previously found in larger central office, PBX, or router
equipment.
The ATLAS 550 chassis includes a high-speed multi-protocol
backplane and six modular expansion slots: two network
inter-face slots and four user interfaces slots. A wide range
of hot-swappable, industry-standard modules are also available
to effectively converge your telecommunications and your
existing network systems, such as routers, PBX, key systems,
video conferencing equipment, remote access servers, LANS,
faxes, and tele-phones.
The ATLAS 550 will typically reside at a customer site and
perform the functions found in multi-port multiplexers,
channel banks, 1/0 cross connect switches, Frame Relay access
devices/concentrators/switches, IP routers, and ISDN switches.
It also includes an integral voice switchboard and dial plan
for dynamically and intelligently switching voice and data
calls based on the telephone number dialed. ATLAS 550 supports
multiple network technologies including T1/FT1 DSX-1, ISDN,
FXS, FXO, V.35 and 10/100 Ethernet and is designed to be used
for more cost-effective T1, ISDN or Frame Relay networks. With
the modularity of ATLAS 550, users can now support up to 10
FT1s and run traditional switched or multiplexed voice/data
traffic, ISDN, or packetized Frame Relay. Users can also run a
hybrid mix of network architectures that will make it easier
to evolve network systems and applications.
For example, using intelligent call routing and an optional
voice compression module, users can simultaneously support
toll grade voice calls and compressed voice over Frame Relay,
all dynamically switched between PBXs, key systems, and the
public network. For configuration and troubleshooting, the
ATLAS 550 includes LEDs for complete opera-tional status
indications, front and rear VT100 craft interfaces for
terminal or dial-in access, alarm contacts, and a 10/100
Ethernet LAN connection for SNMP and Telnet.
