1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Total Access 600 Series contains Integrated Access Devices (IAD) designed for cost-effective
deployment of voice and data services at the customer premises. The Total Access 600 Series benefits
integrated communications providers (such as CLECs, ILECs, and ISPs) who require a customer premises
device with integrated voice and data functions, and provides a viable migration path from TDM to
packet-based technology. These IADs support applications such as VoDSL and VoATM.
The Total Access 600 Series features remote management, built-in IP router, and an optional DSX-1
interface (factory installed only). An optional battery backup is also available for many of the models. The
units include a Nx56/64 V.35 interface, 10/100BaseT interface, FXS ports, and network interfaces (T1,
ADSL, SDSL, and SHDSL). The last two digits of the product name indicate the number of on-board FXS
ports. The Total Access 604 contains four FXS ports, the Total Access 608 contains eight FXS ports, etc.
The units can provision, test, and provide status for any of the voice and data interfaces. All connections
are made via the rear panel.
This line of IADs includes both the ATM and TDM versions of the Total Access 604/608/612/616/624 and
Total Access 600R systems. Until now, the Total Access TDM units have been running firmware version
A.03.XX. Recently, A.04.XX has been released to support the TDM Total Access IADs. The development
of A.04.XX code is a significant step in the evolution of the Total Access product line, as it allows all Total
Access family members to share the same base code. This means that features and fixes are more easily
implemented and are propagated across the product line. The User Interface Guide section of this manual
represents the A.04 firmware changes. There are two possible upgrade paths: (1) Upgrading from A.03 to
A.04 directly and; (2) Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.92 (Transition Build) to A.04.
Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.92 (Transition Build) to A.04 will save the unit’s
configuration. Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly (or from A.04 to A.03 directly) will
erase the unit’s configuration. See DLP-14, A.03 to A.04 Firmware Upgrade, for more
details.
Units manufactured after October 2002 will not be compatible with some older
versions of Total Access 612, 616, and 624 software. Refer to the following
information if an older version of software is to be loaded into the unit. For TDM
applications, please use software revision A.03.58 or later. For ATM applications,
software revision D.01.30 or later is required. Using incompatible software will
cause the unit to malfunction. For more information or technical assistance, please
call ADTRAN Technical Support at 888-4ADTRAN. Please have the unit serial
number available when contacting Technical Support.
