Chapter 1
Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MX2800 STS-1 is a SONET multiplexer that consolidates T1
and E1 signals into an STS-1 signal. This unit provides a cost-
effective, versatile tool for combining independent T1s or E1s over
the same STS-1 carrier.
Embedded SNMP (simple network management protocol) and
Telnet are available through the modem port using SLIP/PPP or
through the 10BaseT ethernet port. Using the Management
Information Base II (MIB II), RFC 1595 standards, and an
ADTRAN enterprise MIB, the MX2800 STS-1 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
STS-1 events in real time. This information can be useful during
installation setups and/or troubleshooting.
Complete configuration, diagnostics, and performance monitoring
are available through SNMP, Telnet, or a VT-100 terminal
interface. This connection can be made via ethernet, a local EIA-
232 link, or through the built-in V.34 modem (see the note at the
end of this section on page 1-2). The modem can dial-out a “cry for
help” for units located in unmanned facilities. The MX2800 STS-1
is designed for either desktop use or for installation in a 19-inch or
23-inch rack.
