1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. The required label is affixed to the bottom
of the chassis.
2. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equip-
ment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible
modular jack which is Part 68-compliant. See Chapter 2, Installation, for details.
3. If your telephone equipment (Octal BRI/U Module) causes harm to the telephone network, the tele-
phone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in ad-
vance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance
notice to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
5. If you experience trouble with this equipment (Octal BRI/U Module), please contact ADTRAN at
[phone] for repair/warranty information. The telephone company may ask you to discon-
nect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure
the equipment is not malfunctioning.
6. This unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
7. The following information may be required when applying to your local telephone company for
leased line facilities.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio frequencies. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits.
Service Type REN/SOC FIC USOC
Basic Rate ISDN 6.0N 02IS5 RJ-48C
Change or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Affidavit Requirements for Connection to Digital Services
• An affidavit is required tobe given to the telephone company whenever digital terminal equipment
without encoded analog content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals contain-
ing encoded analog content which are intended for eventual conversion into voiceband analog sig-
nals and transmitted on the network.
• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being
transmitted or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protec-
tion specifications.
• End user/customer will be responsible for filing an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when
connecting unprotected customer premise equipment (CPE) to 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital ser-
vices.
• Until such time as subrate digital terminal equipment is registered for voice applications, the affi-
davit requirement for subrate services is waived.

Canadian Equipment Limitations
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facil-
ities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an accept-
able method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension
cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent deg-
radation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility desig-
nated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power util-
ity, telephone lines and internal metallic waterpipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be
connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination
on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the equipment that the total of the
LNs of all devices does not exceed 100.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal adapter is used to determine the total
number of devices that may be connected to each circuit. The sum of the RENs from all devices in the
circuit should not exceed a total of 5.0.
The Industry Canada Certification label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety
requirements. The Department of Commerce does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user's satisfaction.
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority, or an electrician, as appropriate.

ADTRAN will replace or repair this product within five years from the date of shipment if the product
does not meet its published specification, or if it fails while in service. For detailed warranty, repair, and
return information, refer to the ADTRAN Equipment Warranty and Repair and Return Policy Proce-
dure (see the last page of this manual).
A return material authorization (RMA) is required prior to returning equipment to ADTRAN.
For service, RMA requests, or more information, see the last page of this manual for the toll-free con-
tact number.

Chapter 1 Introduction
OCTAL BRI/U MODULE OVERVIEW
The Octal BRI/U Module is a member of the ATLAS family of integrated ac-
cess products, providing eight Basic Rate ISDN (BRI) U interfaces, each ca-
pable of operating in either NT or LT mode. Any port can deliver timing for
the system.
The Octal BRI/U Module combines with the ATLAS system and other
ATLAS modules to support requirements calling for multiple BRI circuits.
As many Octal BRI/U Modules can be installed in a system as can be
physically accommodated in the ATLAS chassis. Figure 1-1 shows a sample
application of the Octal BRI/U Module.
Figure 1-1. Octal BRI/U System
When combined with the ATLAS system and, optionally, one or more
Quad T1/PRI Modules (P/N 1200185L2 and 1200185L3), the Octal BRI/U
Module can implement an ISDN access switch, combining multiple BRI cir-
cuits into one or more Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) circuits.
NEBS COMPLIANCE
The ATLAS Octal BRI/U Module (P/N 1200186L2) complies with the NEBS
(Network Equipment Building System) Level III specification for
GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE. This means that the ATLAS Octal BRI/U
Module will perform normally under certain electrical and physical stresses
without posing a safety hazard to its users. However, when applications re-
quire NEBS compliance, this module should be used in the ATLAS 810PLUS
(a NEBS-compliant version of the ATLAS 800PLUS).
