Total Access 600 Series System Manual Section 1 System Description

1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The products of the Total Access 600 Series are 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 life-line voice backup.

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.

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 TDM User Interface Guide section of this manual represents

the A.04 firmware. There are two possible upgrade paths: (1) Upgrading from A.03 to A.04 directly (2)

Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.90 (Transition Build) to A.04.

2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Below is a list of unit features and benefits. Some features are model-dependent.

Upgrading from A.03 to A.03.90 (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-016, 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
