Total Access 1248 Expansion DSLAM Installation and Maintenance Practice

61179641L5-5C
DESCRIPTION
The Total Access 1248 client (also referred to as “expansion”) unit is a mini-DSLAM that
accepts network feeds from a Total Access 1248 host unit.
The Total Access 1248 provides ADSL2+ service for up to 48 subscribers per unit. Plain Old
Telephone Service (POTS) is brought in from an on-board splitter and is placed on the same
pair as the ADSL2+ signal. Since ADSL2+ and POTS are transported on the same twisted pair,
the subscriber must use a low-pass filter on the line before attempting to use analog services.
The lines are configured for service with flow-through provisioning using a network configu-
ration application such as Telcordia’s Network Configuration (NCON). Permanent Virtual
Circuits (PVCs) in the ATM network to the subscriber’s chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP)
allow the subscriber access to the internet.
The Total Access 1248 is rack-mountable and measures 1.75 inches (1U) high, 17.25 inches
wide, and 11.125 inches deep (measurements do not include the mounting brackets). The
device may be powered using one or two –48 VDC sources, one for a non-redundant power
configuration, two for a redundant power configuration.
